Chapter 354: Leaving the Mountain
Two days, not long, not short. It was enough for Cheese to adjust his condition to meet the challenge, but it was only to adjust to the current good condition, and two days was not enough time to completely relieve fatigue and alleviate the injuries on his body. Fortunately, the other party agreed to negotiate two days later, which means that the Nine Rings Gang should not take the initiative to find trouble in these two days, and the cheese can act in the city more relaxed. Although in the current situation, only the mage and the cat goblin still have the ability to go out, just to go out, what help can they get from the outside world?
For the rest of the day, Cheese shut himself up in the room, saying that he wanted to check his apprentice's body, and he didn't even eat dinner. The next day, when Kairas got up and walked out of the room, he learned from the dwarven boss that the mage had gone out early in the morning, but he didn't say where he had gone. This was a whole day, and it was not until late afternoon that the gray figure slowly walked into the lobby. He briefly asked about his companions today, and then about the child, and then shut himself up in his room. Kenqi and the others were quite uneasy about this, but they still had full trust in Cheese.
On the second day, the day he made an appointment with the leader of the Nine-Ring Gang, Cheese still went out before dawn in the morning, and did not return until the sun was shining. When he returned, he ate as usual, and kept silent about where he had been for the past two days. It wasn't until late in the morning that the figure of the nezumi appeared in the lobby, which was the place where he had come to take the cheese to the appointment. Rao is the boldness of the Nine Rings Gang, and they don't dare to meet here.
"If I don't come back, stay here and wait until the two of them are healed before leaving. Before leaving, the Grey Robe gave all the money from the sale of the horse to Kailas, "As for the boy, it makes no difference whether you throw him here or bring him back to the lion." It was luck that he met me and picked up his life. It was his luck that he died before I could properly train with me. You don't have to feel sorry for him. ”
"Aren't you sure you're going to go? If you gamble on your life, then it's better not to go, let's nest here, there are dwarves here, and the Nine Rings Gang don't dare to mess around. ”
"That's not necessary, it's one thing to respect your opponent, it's another thing to be a turtle with a shrunken head. Not to mention the distance, we were never afraid when we fought with the things brought by Aleier on the grassland, and it was nothing to hide in the hotel by being frightened by the gang. Besides, we will be going to the City of Ten Thousand Laws in a month, and it is impossible to delay the matter until then, it is too risky. I'm just making sure that even if the worst happens, you still have a way out, after all, this team was assembled because of me, and as the convener, I have an obligation to do so. Cheese had a smile on his face, a kind of calm smile that hadn't been seen in him much recently.
Following Jerry out of the hotel, the nezumi instinctively felt that the person behind him was not the same as when he first met him. It's no wonder that the current state of Cheese is indeed different from any time since the departure of this team, and this kind of smile and confidence was only experienced in the first time he was the Lord of Valley City. At that time, the nezumi were in ruins, and almost all the big and small affairs of Vale fell on him and Gloria, and although the nezumi had begun to show her political talent at that time, she was still inexperienced. It was still the gray robe that provoked the beams of the entire Valley City, and it was with this posture that he handled everything indifferently at that time.
As the nezumi gained a foothold, Gloria's administrative skills matured, and Cheese no longer needed to be the spiritual pillar of the people. This is a good thing for a wizard who is interested in research, but a series of changes that happened in the gray tower behind him suddenly gave him too much shock, and he lost the place he regarded as his hometown and the territory he invested a lot of energy in managing in a short period of time, and the whole person suddenly withered. It wasn't until after a series of events in the grassland that he gradually got out of the haze, and today, when the opponent he faced was no longer an evil god, the pressure of the right amount finally allowed him to completely return to his state.
The current cheese, although he is not at the peak of physical strength and magic, is extremely high, and the momentum of not being angry and arrogant and the composure between his eyebrows show that he is not a person to be messed with. This may also be the reason why, when he came to the small square, the little minions gathered here did not make any provocative sounds, but silently separated the two sides and let the gray robe walk in. It's hard to explain the momentum, even if it's the same person, it's changing all the time. Creatures instinctively read out such details, just as lions can always find the old and weak ones in their antelopes.
Seeing the mage's figure walk into the firelight, Jerry silently turned into darkness. He looked up at the gaps between the buildings, and climbed onto the roof in twos and threes, the evening breeze blowing the man's mantle, revealing the scarred body underneath. He turned his head to look in the direction of Felt Boulevard, and he knew that there was more to watch out for tonight. There is one thing that Cheese is wrong, the dwarf's territory is not untouched.
The eyes in the darkness would reflect light, some moonlight and starlight, some from inner emotions, such as when Jerry and the eyes on the distant roof met each other, he could see that the light in each other's eyes had a greedy and cruel brilliance. The owner of Radiance quickly left the place, he was a killer, a fellow rat-man who also had a relationship with Ghostface. Now, the broker and his killers serve one man, one target. Jerry knew the target, the woman with fairy blood, and he had seen her twice. It was only because he had seen it that he knew that Cheese's idea was not wise.
There are many kinds of assassination commissions. There are some targets that can not die, and there are some targets that will definitely be hunted down to death. That's why he did all this, and the second lesson given to him by his teacher, what an Assassin should know after he knew how to grasp the relationship with death, was called Judgment. People who can do something, who can't do something, who can't distinguish between these things, are just reckless, not assassins. Jerry's judgment was that as long as Atta followed Cheese, various Assassins would come and go, and they would become more and more dangerous. They will not be intimidated, even if the one who protects the female swordsman is a gray robe.
Therefore, in order to keep Cheese safe, the sooner he drew a line with this woman, the better, and if he was unwilling to give up this companion, it would create a situation that he could not take care of. That's why he's willing to be Catwoman's lackey in this operation, and for him, the only person he needs to protect in the whole team is Cheese himself.
