Dawn of the Ash Tower

Three days after capturing Gloria, who had turned into a ratman, Cheese finally appeared in the Dragon's Back Tavern again.During the three days of discussion, there were many rumors in the town about the disappearance of this mysterious man.Two of the frost guards even vowed that the mage hid the monsters that attacked the livestock in the tavern, which made the villagers feel relieved that the livestock would no longer go missing, but at the same time couldn't thank the mage.After all, in the eyes of the villagers, the possibility of defeating monsters alone and domesticating monsters to devour livestock may be greater in the eyes of the villagers.

At the same time, although Commander Jon, the leader of the Frost Guards, received a report on this matter, the old commander is not focused on these "little things" now.Maybe it's really a good pastime in normal times.But after listening to Cheese's suggestion last time, after sending two batches of soldiers to the Earl of Saron in a row, these two teams seemed to sink into the sea, and there was no reply.In the past, it only took three days to go from the small town at the foot of the mountain to the valley city of the Earl of Saron if the horse was fast. Even three days after the first team set off, Commander Jon sent a second team to go because of worries. Responding, but also let the second team carry the carrier pigeons for communication.But now six days have passed, not to mention pigeons, not even a crow has flown from the south.

Damn it, the gray-robed man's warning might be true.On the fourth day, Commander Jon wanted to visit Cheese to get more advice, but he was told that Cheese was not in the tavern. His absolute trust in Elsa made the old commander not suspect the boss's lie.Although the cheese was indeed not at the top of the Dragon's Back at that time.In desperation, he could only deploy the defenders on the mountain to the south, and at the same time began to build defensive wooden fences and watchtowers.For a long time, the Frost Guards have only focused on the threat from the north, coupled with the scarcity of their own products and strong military strength, the southern lords of all dynasties have not given much thought to this legion.Therefore, the south-facing defense facilities of the Legion Township have always been nothing more than border posts on the main road.Such defensive facilities are obviously unable to block real threats, and it is even difficult to play an early warning role.The old commander knew this very well, and simply Frost never let go of his demands on the soldiers. They were always guarding the front line of their ancestors, so in just two days, under the full force of the legion, a fragile but complete line of defense had been was gradually built up.

"But these are not enough." Commander Jon murmured in a low voice. For the safety of the legion and the residents of the town, he needed more information, but the scholars and staff officers in the legion were powerless, so the next thing to ask for help There is only one object left.So when he heard that Cheese had appeared again, he came here immediately.

Pushing open the door of the tavern, the table where Cheese sat was very conspicuous. On the one hand, no one in the town dared to sit next to him, and on the other hand, it was because there were too many things on his table.All kinds of meaty food were piled up on the table like hills, so Commander Jon could only rely on speculation to determine which mysterious gray-robed man the hand that kept grabbing the food belonged to.

"Long time no see, Mr. Cheese." The old commander sat across the table, and the other guests in the tavern saw him coming in, and consciously started to check out and leave.Even if the northerners in the small town at the foot of the mountain have never joined the legion, they must have soldiers of the legion at home, so as members of the army, they should listen to those things, and it is better to know less about those things.Although this does not prevent them from privately speculating on what the commander said to the cheese.

Cheese also responded enthusiastically when he heard the commander's voice.

"Ugh! Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..."

"Uh, I think you'd better swallow what's in your mouth before you talk." The commander said with twitching eyes.

After hearing this, the cheese quickly stuffed two more pieces of meat into his mouth, filling his mouth full, and then started chewing together.To be honest, Elsa, watching him from behind the bar, wondered how on earth he managed to swallow such a huge morsel of food.As for Commander Jon, he was fortunate that his vision was blocked by the food mountain and he did not see this horrific scene.

"Hic!" Swallowing all the food in his mouth, Cheese burped exaggeratedly.He waved his right hand, and the food on the table automatically floated up and flew to the table next to him.This also allowed Commander Jon to see the mage for a long time after seeing the cheese cast spells for the first time.At this time, Cheese is still wearing a gray robe, but probably for the convenience of eating, most of the robe has been lifted and put on the back of the shoulder. It can be seen that Cheese's left shoulder is still wrapped in a thick bandage.And cheese's left arm is also hanging under the table, only the right hand holds the fork.

"Are you injured?" Commander Jon frowned.Although he heard about Cheese fighting monsters alone, he didn't expect Cheese to be injured so badly.

"It's okay, it's just a small injury. As you can see, the immobility of one hand doesn't affect me." As he said that, he threw the fork casually, and after a series of stunts in the air, he inserted the fork into the table next door. On the steak.

"I hope so. After all, I am afraid that your strength is very important in the current situation." Commander Jon nodded, accepting the mage's speech. After all, Cheese is not a warrior who charged forward with a knife and gun.

"Okay, I know time is running out now, so I want to have an open and honest talk with you, Elsa, come and listen, after all, I promised you before." Cheese said.The proprietress quickly sat at the table from behind the bar in three steps, and stuck out her tongue mischievously under the reproachful eyes of Commander Jon.

"Then, let me start with who I really am. Ha, what an irony. Up until three days ago, I was trying to make up some random origin to get it out of my head. But what I discovered in the past three days made me realize that I might have to With the help of the Frost Guard." Cheese shrugged, but forgot the wound on his left shoulder, so his expression became distorted instantly under the stimulation of pain.

"As you can see, I am a spellcaster. That is, a so-called mage. Although I personally feel that this definition is not rigorous, let's just say this first."

Commander Jon and Elsa both had expressions of course. After all, although cheese has only released some spells that can be called tricks in the past few days, his identity as a spellcaster is beyond doubt.

"Then, what I want to say is that I come from a mage organization that is even a bit secluded from the world, and the leader of this organization is my teacher." Cheese said.

"Your organization is north of the mountains?" Commander Jon asked.

"Yes, but the reason why we can survive there is relying on the power of magic, which is why I said that this is not universal. As for where we are in the north, I am sorry I can't say." This part of the truth was originally It was in the content that the cheese was going to confess, so he didn't hide much.

"Okay, please continue." The mage's answer was expected by the commander, and Jon nodded and said.

"The reason why I came here is because my teacher issued a mission to me. Although he didn't say it clearly, I probably already guessed what the purpose of this mission is." Cheese said.

"You mean, what happened in the Earl of Saron was because of your teacher?" Elsa asked, frowning at the same time, if Cheese's teacher put a Earl into such a crisis for the first trial, I'm afraid her impression of cheese is about to change.

"I'm afraid not. Although my teacher has this ability, I don't think he will pay such a high price for the trial." Cheese shook his head. He was not fully sure about this matter. In the eyes of his teacher, a small earldom might not really be worth caring about.However, combined with the records of adult trial missions of other seniors and sisters, he is more inclined to believe that his teacher just foresaw everything that is about to happen here, so he threw him on the stage of this drama.

"Well, go ahead." Although she didn't get a definite answer, Elsa could at least be sure that he didn't know based on the cheese's reaction.that's enough.

"The next thing is the results I discovered in the past three days. It can be said that this is the most important thing at this stage. Through these three days of physical research, I can probably be sure..."

Next, Cheese briefly introduced the various tests conducted by himself and Alina on Gloria in three days and the research results on the plague that infected her.
