The swordswoman took a step back, but soon realized that there was no malice in Cheese's tone and expression when she said this. There was only a faint tiredness on the mage's face now, and it was not so much that he was questioning Atta as he was begging for a reassuring answer. This made the female swordsman breathe a sigh of relief and at the same time gave birth to a little unbearable. Along the way, she gradually understood that this wizard in gray robe was not what she thought he was, and that he, like her, had no lack of joy, anger and sorrow.

That's why it's hard for her to answer this question. In the distance, there was a shouting sound, presumably the Skinner, freed by Cheese, intervening in the fight. Atalanta took a deep breath, and she felt the smell of the grassland, the smell of fireworks, and the faint smell of blood in the air. The composition of this breath of air is so complex that it almost makes it difficult for her to breathe anymore when she saves it. Fortunately, her body still faithfully performed its due functions, and the complex air flowed down the trachea into the lungs, replacing useless exhaust gases and turning into a soft sigh.

"I thought you wouldn't talk about it. Atta had a self-deprecating look on her face, she shouldn't have had naïve expectations, thinking that what had happened today was enough for Cheese not to associate the appearance of the Yew Man with her. But who had let the mage have been completely unconcerned all day? she couldn't defy the little luck in her heart.

"If it weren't critical, I really wouldn't have brought it up. Not only me, but also Lothar. Everyone has secrets, especially in your case. We all understand and don't care. In the past, I only wanted to unravel the truth of everything, and I could do anything desperate for the truth, and the allies I could have won for the truth would also force them to my opposite. It's a fluke, really, I don't even know how I managed to survive in such a reckless state until now. Cheese said with a wry smile on his lips, a reflection he had already begun to reflect on his past actions, and that reflection had taken a step deeper after Lothar returned and told him what had happened in Heartless Bay. Now he decided to try to deal with people in a different way, but that didn't mean he had given up on his insistence on truth and truth, just that he had learned to be patient before reaching the end.

Ata's expression finally slowed as she walked back to the mage's side, her azure eyes looking at the distant firelight, "I'm sorry, I didn't expect them to come after me. They hadn't caught up with me in months, and I thought I had gotten rid of them... I'm sorry. As she spoke, her eyes gradually lowered, and her voice became muffled, as if she might cry at any moment.

"Nothing to apologize for. Didn't I get involved in the affairs of the department of Schalle on my own preference, and tonight someone might die because of my rise. None of us are gods, and even the spirits in the mouth of the witch are not the omniscient and all-powerful beings. To be honest, I'm skeptical that existence is really there. It's a bit of a tongue-twister, right? I just wanted to tell you that we all make mistakes because of ignorance, because of self-righteousness. There is nothing to be ashamed of, it is true for everyone, it was before and it will be for the future. ”

Cheese's enlightenment was not even enlightenment at all, he just told what he could only say to himself. And whether Atta understood it or not, she realized one thing, and that was that the gray robe really didn't blame her. Taking a deep breath again, her nose twitching slightly, the swordswoman looked up, "Those yew people have been looking for me since about a year ago. But because I'm timid, I've always run away, and their fog has only trapped me, so I kept running in one direction every time, and I got rid of them as I ran. This time, because of you, I was able to really confront them head-on, and some of the things I would have remembered came back to my mind. ”

Atta didn't know whether to be happy or sad, if she hadn't been acting alone all this time, the first person to be implicated might not have been Cheese them, in that case, the implicated person would probably be injured or even killed, and even be trapped in the fog with no way out. But think about it another way, the female swordsman has never been implicated in others, precisely because her appearance has never been accepted. After all, not everyone can accept a woman with jewel-like eyes and beast-like ears, I mean, of course, she has a different beauty from others, but this beauty is unusual, even abnormal. Not everyone can accept it in a short period of time, and Atta rarely gives others time to get acquainted with her.

"The Yew people are here to kill me. Or rather, they were hired to make me die in this body. The girl said calmly.

"Why? who's going to kill you?" Cheese noticed the strangeness of what Atta said, dying in this body, in other words, someone wanted her to die as a human. And judging from the fact that the killer hired by the other party is a yew man, this person is unlikely to be human. This touched on the unknown part of his knowledge of goblins. Generally speaking, it is not surprising that Yew people who are mercenaries are hired by anyone because of their neutral status as goblins. Legend has it that humans even hired an entire army of yew people to fight for them because they had picked up the goblins' currency.

"A goblin. There was some sadness in Atalanta's tone, and she could tell that with contact with the Yew people, the incomprehensible memories of her childhood were gradually regrouping in her mind in a way that humans could sort out, "I don't know how to pronounce her name, it's not a name that can be pronounced in human language." Anyway, I grew up with her, and she took care of me while I was still living in the fairy kingdom. The elves don't have parents, they were born to know how to live in the land of the elves, and she taught me that. ”

"So far, I haven't heard a reason why the story would turn out to be what it is. The mage shrugged.

"We had a good relationship until I was sent back to the human world, but when I was about to leave the fairy lands, I was told one thing. The goblins don't have parents, but the goblins' kingdom does have kings. The fairy kings and queens of the previous generation are very old, and although the life span of the elves is long, there is also an end of the day. According to the law of the elves, I would call it the law, but in fact it is more like the rules that the elves must abide by in order to survive. In conclusion, the new goblin king and queen must succeed to the throne when the old king dissipates, and they must be goblins born on the same day. ”

Cheese looked a little aware when he heard this, "You're a woman, and you use her to call the fairy you grew up with." So I'm guessing that the goblin who replaced you from your human parents is a male, and he's going to be the new king, and you're going to be his queen because of the change, right?"

"If my lifespan in this body is naturally exhausted, something within me will allow me to be reborn as a fairy in the land of elves. Changers are the best candidates for kings and queens, as they tend to be the wisest among the goblins. So, yes. "To be fair, Atta doesn't resist continuing her life as a goblin, after all, she once lived in the goblin realm. As for going to be the wife of a goblin who has taken away her human identity... This may not be too pleasant. Still, there was always someone who was more unhappy than her.

"I'm guessing that the friend you grew up with was born on the same day as you. If you die, I mean, die as a human being. And the king's choice remains the same, so she's the only one to choose the queen, right?" Cheese's expression was a little subtle, and the story Atta described sounded to him only happening in a play, or a court play that he didn't like.

"I think she thinks so. ”
