Dawn of the Ash Tower

Two days later, Dragon’s Back Peak Tavern

In the past two days, on the one hand, Cheese has been preparing the materials needed to go deep into the Earl's territory. On the other hand, he has been persuading Elsa to give up the idea of ​​going with him.However, no matter what the mage said, the proprietress was just indifferent, which made the cheese very helpless.This trip is definitely not safe, even Cheese is not sure to protect himself, and needs to seek help from Commander Jon, let alone bring another proprietress.But even if the cheese went to Commander Jon and asked him to stop Elsa, the old commander just smiled and waved his hand. He said that this was Elsa's own decision, and he had no choice.After the residents of the town heard that Elsa was going into danger with Cheese, none of them came to stop them. Instead, a few young men came to Cheese and offered to go with him.

"These stubborn northerners." Cheese waited in his room for the time to leave.The Frost Legion is more efficient than Cheese imagined, or the trust and fit between the residents of these mountain towns and the Legion is unbelievable. After the Legion released the news of the plague and the Ratman, the residents of the town had almost no Any panic, they just asked if the legion had enough manpower and if more people were needed to help.This made the cheese feel the unparalleled trust of the town residents in the Frost Guard.At the same time, the Legion also explained the deeds of Cheese catching the Ratman alone before.This made the mage's two-day purchasing process much smoother.The frankness and simplicity of the northerners made Cheese, who had lived among the high-IQ mages since he was a child, feel very amazing.He even prepared several sets of excuses to explain his actions. After all, some spell-casting materials looked very strange to outsiders, but the residents of the town didn't ask a single word.Elsa explained to him that he had proved himself a friend of the Northlanders.

Soon, the people sent by Commander Jon arrived at the tavern.At the request of the cheese, the number of this team was limited to five people. In addition to the mage and the proprietress, the old commander selected three frost guards to join the team.It is worth mentioning that one of these three people is actually a woman.And this woman named Mona seems to be very familiar with the proprietress.Apart from this, the remaining two Frost Guards are the strong "Wild Boar" Hahn and the son of Orion "Monkey" Jack.Compared with their original names, these soldiers obviously prefer their nicknames in the army.It is worth mentioning that the proprietress also has her own nickname, "Red Fox".It is said that Frost's boys took it for her, and she didn't object.Cheese looked at Elsa's red hair, and felt that the nickname was really appropriate.

In the past two days, Cheese's decision to Elsa has gradually changed from being completely incomprehensible at the beginning.He is not stupid, and he also knows that Elsa has a good impression of him, but the path of a mage is lonely and dangerous. Even if they are classmates under the same teacher, it is common for them to entangle each other and cause casualties during the task.Especially the cheese teacher has always seemed to have a soft spot for the law of the jungle, and even the course test is calculated according to the algorithm of how many people have reached the standard.In fact, if it weren't for the protection of An Lina, it would be impossible for the cheese to live to this day.Cheese, who grew up in such an environment, has no sense of identity with the so-called feelings of normal people in his mind.This is also the actual situation of most mages. In this world, most mages or spellcasters are celibates. They are often obsessed with secrets or power, and it is too late to avoid the world. How can they waste it for love or family affection? what time?And cheese considers himself a qualified mage. Although he is not determined not to marry for life, he doesn't think there is anything in this world more fascinating than the mysteries of magic.Therefore, cheese does not want to accept Elsa's favor.Although Cheese appreciates the character of the proprietress who dares to love and hate, but the mage can't see their future.They live in the same world, but not in the same world.

In short, with such entangled emotions, Cheese led the five-member team and set off for the Earl of Saron, which was covered by the plague, under the watchful eyes of the entire mountain town.Five people rode four horses (cheesy couldn't ride a horse, and he rode one with Jack), and took a horse carrying supplies, and walked into the forest filled with light white mist from the newly built wooden defense line.

Time passed quickly on the road, and it was dusk in a blink of an eye. Under the guidance of Jack, a group of people set up a bonfire under three huge and tall trees.According to "Monkey", it is much safer to spend the night in this kind of forest than on the ground.Although Cheese's arm is not convenient for climbing trees, he also understands that he still has to trust people with professional knowledge on this kind of issue.

"This is not right." Five people tied their horses and sat around the campfire, "Monkey" said with a sullen face.

"I used to come to this forest with my father, and this moment should be when all kinds of carnivorous beasts come out. But listen, there is no movement in the forest, not even the howling of wolves." The son of a hunter is very familiar with the northern forests, which is why Commander Jon appointed him to be the guide for this operation.

"Maybe it's just that those bastards were alarmed by our team and didn't dare to get close." As the name suggests, "Wild Boar" Hahn's muscles seem to be as big as two and a half cheeses. He is one of the best fighters among the Frost Guards. , in his opinion, Jack's worries are unnecessary.Although Hahn seems to be very rude, it doesn't mean that he really can't use his brain. There are no wild horses in this forest, and the sound of horseshoes represents the existence of humans, which can indeed scare away most beast, so his words are not without reason.

"Anyway, being careful is the most important thing. After a while, the wild boar will be on the first shift, the monkeys will be on the second shift, and I will be on the third shift. The mage and Elsa rest all night to maintain their strength." The female warrior Mona is The highest among the three Frost Soldiers, her word is an order.

The proprietress frowned slightly.

"I can keep watch too," she said.

"There is no need for that. We don't need everyone to participate in the vigil every night. Three people keep vigil and the remaining two rest." Mona said.The remaining two soldiers also agreed.Too frequent replacement of night watchmen is neither efficient nor will the team's ability to act.

At night, Cheese sat on a thick branch leaning on the trunk of the big tree. Not only him, but every team member except the night watchman found a thick branch on the tree to rest.The mage looked at the moon and stars in the sky, felt the cold wind blowing through the forest, and felt at a loss.Although he took the lead to go to the Earl's Land, he had only seen the topography of the Earl's Land on the map, and Cheese had no clear idea of ​​where to find samples.

"Are you scared?" Elsa's voice came from not far away, and Cheese knew that she was on a branch next to him.The three soldiers wisely chose a branch farther away to rest.

"Are you afraid? It's not without it. But it's more of a feeling of confusion. But you, the future of this journey is uncertain, why do you have to follow? Wouldn't it be good to wait for me in the small town?" Cheese Turning his head, he looked at Elsa and asked.

"Ha, are you underestimating our girls from the Northland? In terms of fighting alone, even monkeys and wild boars may not be my opponents." The proprietress said with a smile.

"That's not what I mean, I mean... Forget it, pretend I didn't say it." Cheese shook his head and said.

Elsa didn't speak any more after listening.
