The roast venison smelled sweet as it was licked by the tongue of fire, and the golden grease was forced to the surface by the flames, flowing down the lines of the bones and bones, and dripping into the flames with a crackling sound. Hungry people have been gathering around the grill for a long time, waiting for Elsa to cut the cooked venison with a knife in her hand and start feasting. Except for Cheese, he sat silently on a collapsed roof overgrown with weeds, and the two letters in his hand had been unpainted. The mage's brow tightened as he read, and he felt confused. Long-lost confusion.

The consequence of this confusion is that with the hungry wolfwalkers as the main force and the others carving it up, the roast venison as the main course has no intersection with the cheese at all. When Elsa came to Cheese with a deer rib that she had managed to stay, the mage remembered that she was eating with her friends.

"You've got to be glad my hands are fast enough, Jack is almost out of bones now. And the most terrifying thing is that this is not an exaggeration, he really crushed the deer bone and ate it for dessert. ”

Cheese was amused by Red Fox's tone, he shook his head slightly, folded the letter in his hand and took the food from the other party's hand. However, before he could lower his mouth, he remembered something and stopped his movements, and turned to look at the person sitting next to him, "Have you eaten?" At banquets, people always ignore whether the chef has food or not, and those who serve food may go hungry. ”

Elsa stared at the mage for two seconds, then smiled slyly, "That's what you said. She grabbed Cheese's bone-holding arm, opened her mouth and took a bite of the venison! The venison, roasted in the right amount, was soft and easy to bite, and it took only one bite to tear off half of the flesh from the bone. Red Fox looked at the remaining amount of meat with satisfaction, pushed the mage's hand back, and motioned for the rest to belong to him. And why doesn't it have to be said? Her mouth is still full of venison.

Cheese raised an eyebrow, and the irritability that the two letters had brought him didn't know where to go after seeing the oily gloss on the corners of Elsa's mouth. He raised his hand and wiped the grease from the red fox's face with the sleeve inside his robe. Of course, this action made the latter show a slightly angry expression after a brief surprise, and the clothes were not washed by the cheese himself. The mage realized his mistake, but at this point, he could only shrug his shoulders and start eating as if he didn't know.

Others may or may not have seen the interaction between Cheese and Elsa. But they were used to it. It was a delicate matter, five years was enough for Lothar to have a four-year-old daughter, enough for Mona to rediscover herself from her bestiality, enough for the rats to turn the crypt into an underground city. But Cheese and Elsa, the relationship between the two of them seems to have not changed much from five years ago. Although it seems intimate, there is still this distance, as for why, I'm afraid it's not so clear.

Lunch, when the flames in the fire were getting smaller, ended. Even in summer, the temperature of the Grey Lion, especially in the northern part of the valley, which is close to Longji Mountain, is not hot. Pleasant people sat in groups and threes on the ruins of the city, talking, with occasional bursts of laughter. "I heard that Lothar is about to get her knighthood back. Elsa pulled her hair back and said casually.

After five years, through the efforts of Marcus and the Archduke Hammer, the charges against Lothar against treason before his death were finally relaxed. Fortunately, the Grey Lion was in a state of chaos at that time, and this crime was only circulated among a few soldiers and nobles. After paying some bargaining chips and costs, many nobles said that the orders given by the former king in the second half of the plague were strange, especially after the former king's close friend, the Grand Duke of Hammer, expressed doubts about this order, many nobles began to show their approval of the return of the Black Mountain family to the kingdom in private.

Even the old aristocratic forces in the south, led by Andrea, showed signs of relenting. Although Lothar's return to the throne as Earl of Hammer was supported by the Grand Duke of Hammer, the House of Montenegro may still be a staunch supporter of Hammer after his reinstatement. But this is better than the current situation where Grand Duke Hammer is in charge of the Black Mountain Territory on his behalf. People's hearts will change, and no one can say whether in ten or twenty years, the Counts of Montenegro will still be satisfied with only existing as vassals of the Hammer, and then their opportunity will come. Game of Thrones such as these have been going on within the kingdom for too long, and the nobles have won and lost each other for hundreds of years, but they all have a tacit bottom line, that is, if they want to ensure the longevity of their family, they can't kick their opponents out of the game at will.

"That's a good thing. The stability of the Black Mountain Territory contributes to the stability of the Salon Territory, so that the safety of Vale City is an additional layer of security. Cheese nodded, he didn't say if it would be a good thing for Lothar to get the title back, it wasn't something he could think about for Lothar. However, even the more oblique mages can notice that many changes have taken place since the Earl's return from Heartbreaker, and this change is not just about getting older. In the last few months, at least, there have been fewer and fewer scenes of Lothar bringing the justice of the fool.

"yes, I'm not very aware of these things. But Lothar is back to being an earl, and it will be difficult to see him again, and so is little Helen. There was a bit of loneliness in Elsa's voice. The witches were mainly active in the vicinity of the royal capital to manage their forces, while the wolfwalkers were active in the Northwest Hammer, where the vast expanse was freer and less easy to be seen. If Lothar returns to Montenegrin and the rats lose their intimacy with Cheese, it will be a ruin with no one to live in.

"Helen will be training here next year, so I think it's going to be lively for a while. Cheese looked at the half-buried ruins of the wall in the distance that were crawling with climbing plants, and said, "That's fine." It's better for you to go back to Frost first during this time, and of course it's good if you want to go to the Royal Capital or the Burning Hammer. ”

"What do you mean?" Elsa looked at the mage in confusion, if she left as well, then only the mages and rats would be left here.

Cheese turned to look at her, his hand reaching into his sleeve and rubbing the letters, "The message from the Grand Duke and Lady Emia reminds me of something. I'll probably be away from the Greylion for a while, I don't know how long, but hopefully I'll be back before next year, and I've promised Lothar to train his daughter. ”
