"You say Baron gray, who left turbidity last night, is a fake?" Rosa asked with an incredible look on her face. He had not known Baron gray for a day or two, and though he did not like Lothar, the eccentric pharmacist, he did not need to know too much about the man to judge a man by his words and manners.

    "I''m afraid so. My Lord, even I suspect that Baron gray, who came to turbidity Creek, was not himself from the beginning Cheese naturally saw the giant rat man''s huge body on the way to come, and from the nearby soldiers'' mouth, it was not difficult to hear the story of the count of Heishan who defeated the giant enemy one-on-one. Therefore, for the mage, Lothar let them go in the daytime trial, which is enough to prove that this man can fight for, and his record also shows that the count is not so boastful as he seems, and his courage and force are worth affirming. Therefore, cheese unconsciously used honorifics in his conversation with him.

    "Not me? You mean Gray was dead after he got to turbidity stream? But I have met him more than ten times in the past few days, including two meals together. If someone pretends to be him, I have no reason not to see it? " Trained hounds can easily smell the smell of prey, and seasoned veterans also have their own special intuition about danger. If they want to lie in front of them, even trained spies should carefully control their words and deeds. Lothar has always given people the impression that the count is often regarded as a simple Wufu, so he was despised, so the count pulled out of the guy is a lot of people. So Rosa has always believed in her own judgment.

    Cheese was not surprised by the response of the count of Heishan. If the person who killed and pretended to be Baron Gray was an ordinary person, even if he was a spy who had been plotting for a long time and had imitated the Baron''s behavior and language for many years, the mage believed that he could not retreat in front of Lothar. So cheese can understand Lothar''s incredible, but at the same time, the mage also knows that there are more things in the world that are better at imitating human beings than ordinary people think.

    "Soul swallowing monsters, or similar names, I don''t know what they are called in Cang Lion Kingdom, or there is no such thing here." Said cheese.

    "The body of these things is just a black shadow without shape, but because at first they were made by the devil for the purpose of sneaking into the mortals, they have the ability that those things with body do not have. What''s more, these guys are like leeches on the spiritual level. They attach themselves to humans or other living creatures in imperceptible forms, such as shadows darker than others or continuous nightmares. And then they continue to absorb the memory and the mind of the victim. But in this process, the victim''s performance will not be abnormal, because they are not enough, something attached to him will help him temporarily complete. When the mental leech eats the victim''s memory, the hapless guy dies of brain failure. Then the black shadow changed from his shadow to the orthodox, with the same memory and feeling as the orthodox. Then it just needs to dispose of the body, such as a fire, and it can take over the life of the victim without any gap. "

    Lyon and Rosa looked at each other. They had never heard of cheese. However, this did not affect their understanding of what the mage said about the terrifying of this kind of alien. After a little thought, Lyon understood what Cheese''s sudden topic was pointing to.

    "You mean Baron gray has died of the monster you''re talking about. And the man Rosa saw last night was the monster itself? " Asked the knight. Only in this way can we explain why the mage suddenly mentioned this kind of goblin to them.

    "I don''t see the body, but I''m afraid so. Although this is only the information that I infer from Baron Gray''s research report, according to the information provided by the count of black mountain, it seems that only in this way can we explain why Baron gray, who should have died in the garrison, would have left the town in full view of the public. " With that, cheese took out a notebook with cowhide as the cover.

    "I found it in the basement of Baron Gray''s temporary residence, where I also found Heather and the knight hammer who had returned with her remains. The location of this note is absolutely impossible for ordinary people to get, which also shows that Baron has some extraordinary abilities in the late stage of infection. This is quite common among people possessed by evil spirits. However, the most important thing is that he has mentioned many times in this note that he feels his consciousness is becoming blurred. Many times, he is totally unconscious when doing things. Like when dissecting the Knights. "

    Without Lothar''s request, cheese threw the note he found in the basement of the second floor to the count of Heishan after saying this. The contents of the note were extremely scribbled, showing the writer''s confused mental state, but most of the handwriting could be identified. What is described in these contents looks like a horror novel written in the first person. Baron gray, as the recorder, gradually loses his sense in this kind of continuous intermittent amnesia. In the last few pages of the note, there are only lines of repeated questions: "who am I?" This question is full of the last few pages of the note, which shows that Baron gray at that time has been devoured by his monsters and lost himself.The count of Heishan and the Knight Commander went through the notes with great speed. In fact, most of the contents were just meaningless questions. However, the notes mentioned the imprisoned Heather and the hammer knights who were dissected and dissected by "unknown person". Even after reading this short dozens of pages, Lothar and Lyon''s backs are covered with cold sweat.

    "Wait a minute. If Heather was imprisoned from the very beginning of her return, why did we hear from her on our way to turbidity stream? And when we first met Lothar, he also mentioned Heather telling him that you are a wizard in our team The knight quickly recalled what had happened before and questioned.

    "It''s simple. Heather''s letter to us, I think, in addition to mentioning the situation in the town at that time, it also implied to you that I might be the planner of this plague, right?" Cheese said to Lyon.

    The knight scratched his head awkwardly. Indeed, Heather mentioned in his personal letter that the identity of cheese was in doubt, so he could not completely believe him. However, Lyon did not mention this point to others in order to reduce misunderstanding. In fact, the personal letter was only seen by the knight. The reason why the contents of the letter were all quoted by Lyon was to stabilize the relationship with the mage.

    "Well, that''s true, but what does that mean?" Asked the blood lion.

    Cheese said with a wry smile.

    "It was the other party''s first attempt to divide the relationship between you and me through Heather''s letter. You simply didn''t believe it, or we would never have had a chance to sneak into turbidity stream and even less find Baron Gray''s body. What I should have noticed at that time was that I missed the opportunity to find a cure for the plague from the Dragon throat path

    "But even so, how can you explain Lothar''s words? You know, not only he, but many soldiers in the town have seen Heather return Said the knight.

    "This is simpler. Look at the countess now." The mage pointed to Lothar, who had not spoken just now.

    The blood lion looked down at the cheese finger, and the count of black mountain frowned at this time, as if trying to remember something.

    "Are you thinking about what it was like to be in contact with Heather?" Asked the cheese.

    Lothar did not open his mouth to answer, but he nodded in doubt and looked at the mage, hoping that the other side could give an explanation.

    Cheese said with a wry smile.

    "In fact, I''m ashamed to say that it''s some kind of magic that can tamper with people''s memory, and then use it as a clue to find the person behind the scenes. But I don''t see the cast shadow in you. So either the opponent''s level is much higher than mine, or you''ve never been cast. "

    "But if I haven''t been tampered with, why don''t I remember meeting Heather?" Asked the count.

    "It''s not just magic in this world that can make people feel illusory. In fact, a good cheater or other proficient in this field only needs some props, some herbs that make people feel slightly hallucinated, and clever dialogue skills. They can affect people''s memory to a certain extent. But I don''t think it''s the ability of goblins, so there should be someone else who made you or even those soldiers get the illusion Said cheese.

    "Besides, I think the man left the town of turbidity last night with the false Baron gray, and now if you turn the town upside down, you won''t find the man''s tail."

    Said Lothar, frowning.

    "In your opinion, we have been completely fooled this time? In fact, all these days were expected by the false baron or the people behind it? "

    "I am afraid so, count. This time, we lost completely. But fortunately, we still have the money to turn it over. They should have never thought that I would rush back to the basement at the first time, so Heather, who was left there waiting to die, was successfully rescued by me. In this way, we still have a chance. " Said the mage.
