Dawn of the Grey Tower
Chapter 26
For the wild animals in the forest, they have an instinct that humans and other intelligent creatures have degenerated and disappeared. This instinct enables them to have a vague judgment on the object they are facing, and they can see whether the other party is aggressive or weak. In fact, there are similar phenomena in the social interaction of intelligent creatures. However, compared with the keen intuition of animals, human beings need a lot of experience as reference to identify each other at the first time. However, there are always exceptions. Some people''s temperament is too outstanding. They are as conspicuous as oil drops floating on the water in the crowd. Those who see them will understand their character at the first sight. Of course, this character is not necessarily their whole, but it is one side of their soul.
Heather is such a person. Anyone who has seen this knight will feel like this. Their impression of her is often not her figure or appearance, but a vague impression, firm, strong, because not rely on so beautiful. Then they would pay attention to the appearance and other details of the famous knight. Even cheese is no exception. You know, although cheese has not seen many people, those who can appear in the mage tower basically have their own distinctive temperament. Those who exist in the civilized world all have the status and authority that ordinary people can''t reach. Even if it is anlina, who is the closest to cheese, her temperament after countless years of training can not be imitated. However, at this time, the lady in front of cheese, her temperament is not inferior to those people, which makes cheese feel a little warm after an accident.
Of course, this is not to say that Heather is not beautiful. From an objective point of view, this blonde lady is undoubtedly a beautiful woman. Although she no longer looks like a girl, years of polishing just make her beauty more mature. However, her aura is too conspicuous, which weakens the impact of her body to some extent.
In the introduction of the mayor of band, cheese and the chief Knight simply know each other. However, to the master''s surprise, the lady seemed not surprised at her appearance, and even took it for granted. And the answer to this matter was soon solved by the matron herself.
"Nice to meet you, your honor, the mage from the grey tower."
Cheese didn''t say his origin. Even for Elsa, their mages had mentioned their own identity. It''s not that he deliberately kept a mystery. It''s just that cheese knows that for them, no one knows his apprenticeship. So far, he only claims to be a member of a group of reclusive mages from the North of Longji mountain. However, Heather called out his origin, which made him feel a little surprised.
Naturally, the knight also noticed the master''s surprise, and she continued with a smile.
"Please don''t be surprised. Your teacher once helped my ancestors. There is a legend about the grey tower in our family. I also received a message from my family before this mission, which is why I am here now
Well, now it seems that my teacher''s followers in the Northern Territory are far more than the frost guards. Although it is not clear which aristocratic family Heather refers to, it seems that the female Knight Commander is still kind to her, which is enough. He didn''t care much about what happened to his teacher and Heather''s family. Maybe he would be interested in it after the plague was put out. But now, the top priority is to understand the situation of the earl. He has been delayed for a long time.
"What is the situation with the count? You know, my companions and I explored only a small area after entering the count''s collar. In order to develop an antidote to the plague as soon as possible, I need to know what''s going on here Asked the mage.
Heather nodded. She also knew that this was the main problem now. The reason why she took the troops to rescue the chief was to repay the family''s kindness before, but more importantly, the family''s summons also pointed out that cheese was the key to solve the plague.
"The southern and western borders under the count''s command have been sealed off respectively, so it seems that the spread of the plague has been suppressed. As far as I know, the pharmacists of the Kingdom have arrived at our stronghold at the count''s border, and they have begun to treat the refugees there. My troops and I set out from the western border. From what we saw along the way, the Earl''s leader was basically a dead end. The living inhabitants are almost invisible, and the roads and villages are littered with corpses and ruins. And... " The knight seemed to want to say something, but she didn''t say it because of some concerns.
"And what?" The opponent''s apparent hesitation made the mage feel that Heather might have found something important.
The matron was silent for a moment, and she organized her words.
"And we found that the number of bodies found was significantly different from the number of local residents, but even if my men and I dug three feet, no survivors were found in any village. But they probably escaped to the southern border, so I''m not sure this is accurate until I see the Knights of the Kingdom stationed in the south
The number of corpses is less than the number of residents that should exist. There is no doubt that cheese nodded at this. This is normal."When you came, were you attacked by any monsters?" Asked the master.
"Monster? Do you mean those guys just now? " Heather asked with a slight frown.
"No, I mean, a monster that looks like a giant human mouse."
The knight shook his head, indicating that he had not seen the "Rat Man" in the mouth of cheese all the way.
"Well, there is no doubt that you are lucky." The mage immediately told the knight what had happened to Gloria.
"You mean this plague not only kills patients, but also turns them into that Rat man Heather chewed on the new term a little, and she realized that if everything was as the mage said, then the plague would be far more severe than she had imagined.
And the mayor of band, who had been listening, suddenly interrupted.
"Mr. cheese, you mean Miss Gloria is still alive!"
The mayor''s excited reaction was totally beyond the expectation of the mage. In his opinion, even though the Earl of Saron had led the count to prosperity, in this case, the value of Gloria as the son of the count was far less than that of her as a case sample.
"Yes, but she has been transformed into a rat man, and though I have stabilized her mutation, she is far from your impression of the countess''s daughter." Said cheese.
"But she''s still alive, isn''t she?" Asked the mayor.
"Yes, and she''s still conscious." The master replied truthfully.
"That''s enough. That''s enough. You can''t understand the count''s kindness to us, but when I became mayor of sweet water, I swore to the gods to be loyal to the sarons. Before, I had no way to live for the safety of sweet water town. I thought I thought I had no chance to live up to my oath again... "
This is the first time cheese has seen the mayor of Bande show such an expression. Even if he is deceived by the devil, even in the face of a large number of cavemen, the mayor who led the town residents to escape the plague was not so vulnerable. But he cried like a child when he heard that the sarons had survived the plague. Heather patted the mayor on the shoulder to comfort him. As a knight with honor as the highest value of life, she could understand mayor band''s performance.
Put aside the mayor who is in a state of emotional fluctuation. For this plague, cheese still has many questions to ask the knight lady. As you can see, although my partners and I have good combat effectiveness, we are not able to cope with the number of enemies far larger than ours. So Ms. Heather, I wonder, can we go together for a while? "
This is obviously the concern of the matron. Even she is afraid that the mage will insist on acting alone for some strange reason. Especially after hearing that there are a large number of rat men wandering in the Earl''s command, Heather is worried about the mage''s safety. After all, in her opinion, the mage from the grey tower is more likely than the pharmacist of the kingdom to solve this terrible plague.
"Of course, I have made an appointment with the knight of the royal order of Lyon to gather in the city of brook Valley, and you and your companions can go with us. I think Lyon will welcome you as well Said the knight.
With Heather''s promise, cheese was finally sure to solve the plague. Although Mona and they were all elite soldiers, after all, their number was too small. If they had to move under the leadership of the current count, it was inevitable that they would fight against a large number of rat people. The strength of the five of them was indeed very limited. But now with Heather and her hammer knights, and even the Royal Knights'' order, it is possible that the plague can be solved as soon as possible.
