Chapter 562 The ending of a story
Understand, these two words are easy to say, but what does Cheese understand? I am afraid that only the mage himself knows this. In fact, Cheese has been thinking about a problem for a long time. This problem probably started when he fell into the royal capital.
Roland appeared in his mind when he rescued him, and he couldn't get rid of it. That is, in this plague, or in a broader sense, in this world, as a spellcaster and a gray robe, he should stand
From what standpoint and from what angle do you view everything in this world?
No one in the Gray Tower has ever taught him about this issue, not Clark, not Alina, and the rest of the gray robes he has never met have not mentioned related matters. It seems that for them, this is completely
It’s not something worth talking about. But the more you get in touch with people in Cangshi
People, cheese is becoming more and more unable to ignore this doubt. He can clearly feel the huge gap between himself and this kingdom and even this secular world. And this gap is not due to vision, that is, the cognition of the presence or absence of magic.
The gap is caused by something else.
Identity. Identity with the country, the nation, and even the race. The Frost Guard can guard Longji Mountain alone because every Northlander believes that their destiny is closely integrated with the legion, and they are indistinguishable.
The knights of the Cangshi dared to venture into the Saron territory in the early stages of the plague to fight against monsters they did not know at all.
That's because the honor and responsibility of knights drive them. They identify with their identity and are even willing to sacrifice for it. Even among the rat people, Gloria also let the rats with the ability to think in the process of collecting and protecting their kind.
People realize that they are the same, so the rat people are willing to follow her footsteps and will in this final charge.
So where is the identity of the gray robes? How do these wizards in the tower from outside the world view the world outside the tower? Cheese can't get the answer, the only object he can refer to is the Cursed Crow
One, and the attitude shown by the Curse Crow towards the world is pure use and extreme disdain. The Curse Master doesn't care about that
These so-called laws and honors do not care about morality and conscience. All he wants is knowledge and things that interest him. This is also destined that once Curse Crow realizes that certain dangers come from something he cannot face, he will persist in fighting them.
When there is no gain in confrontation, he will immediately leave here with his own interests.
Cheese almost became such a person. When he first came to this kingdom, although he showed great concern about the plague, it was out of curiosity about the trial mission and the caster's unique thirst for knowledge.
.In fact, he doesn’t care about the life and death of the kingdom’s residents or even the rat people.
The person who forced him to care about these things at that time was Elsa. The Red Fox and Frost Guards are not good people who help people when they see them, but they also admit that they are human beings, so they can turn humans into monsters.
They will not stand idly by when the plague appears before their eyes.
The mage's accommodation to the Frosts brought him into contact with Lothar, and he also noticed the pharmacist who had been replaced by demons. So he began to try to treat the refugees like Elsa and the others, just because this brought a lot of trouble to his investigation.
Benefit. But that's still not true kindness, because when the mage rides a red dragon and pours potion at the source of the dragon's blood stream
At that time, he was just doing experiments on those refugees. He had no urgent desire to save anyone. This is why Cursed Crow told Cheese when he was in Iron Castle that his trial could be completed long ago.
For the gray robes, cheese who can find a way and concoct a potion to prevent the spread of the plague is already a qualified spellcaster.
The subsequent series of encounters in the Iron Castle were purely out of curiosity. Both Cheese and Cursed Crow were curious about people who had the ability to create such a level of plague. In addition, the appearance of the Lich made both of them sniff.
It smelled like a bigger conspiracy, so they didn't leave. But the person who really changed the cheese was Roland. This magician who claimed to be an old acquaintance of the Lord of Gray Tower let him
Cheese has a new understanding of ordinary people. Knowledge is not limited to magic and related research. Simple knowledge can also play an outstanding role at the right time. In a sense, this ability to turn decay into magic
That is the real magic. In addition, the old man's deeds of integrating and commanding the dark side of the royal capital by his own efforts also made the mage no longer doubt his identity.
Under the influence of Roland, Cheese really began to face everything in front of him. Therefore, he took the risk and signed a contract with the witches in the royal capital to get their help. It was also because of this that he took action to help after investigating the Pharmacist Association.
Lothar won the Trial of Glory to prove his innocence. Because of this, he took the risk to make a deal with the devil and learned about the existence of the broker, but he did not expect that all this was already under the control of the other party.
And the most important thing is that it is precisely because of all this that Cheese is determined to fight the Demon Lord to the death when he returns to Valley City. He has regarded solving the rat-man plague as some kind of mission, which is more important than the so-called adulthood.
Trial, the so-called thirst for knowledge is what makes people unwilling to give up.
West. That was something that made Alina so angry that she even showed her claws to the Lord of the Gray Tower. It shouldn't have appeared on a gray robe, but it happened to appear. So now, cheese will stand
I asked that question while looking at the angry and powerful people in front of me from the back of the dragon.
There was one last thing he needed to confirm. Now that he had confirmed it, he finally understood.
So when people inside and outside the valley city heard what the mage said, Cheese went on to say, "I'm sorry, I can understand your emotions, Cangshi warriors. But I won't let you hurt this city.
Because to you, they are monsters, but to me, they are human beings just like you."
"Then you are declaring war on the entire Cangshi Kingdom, wizard!" Andrea pointed the weapon at the dragon. "You will become the enemy of the entire kingdom! Even if your scaly pet can burn us all, our
The descendants will also complete their revenge, and sooner or later, you will pay the price!"
Cheese smiled. He was not looking down on the warriors of the kingdom. To be fair, if Migo's combat power was not added, both Lothar and Leon had the ability to fight him. Not to mention Cang, who is a country of knights.
The lion also has more less skilled but larger reserves of soldiers. Besides, the kingdom can also send out assassins to make the mage live in anxiety every day, so that he no longer has time to study magic. With one person against one country, even if he is a gray robe
, is also a stupid decision.
"The price? Okay, I'll wait for you to come to me to collect the bill. But warriors of Cangshi, please remember that before I die, I will not allow you to slaughter the rat people like wild beasts. I, get up
Si, the gray robe from the north, will be the guardian, caretaker, and instructor of all rat people. From today on, every day, until you admit that the beast you talk about is the same thing as you, I will
Here.”
As he spoke, the magic power in the mage's eyes became more and more surging, and those light spots that were originally just sporadic began to turn into substantial magic light, surrounding the cheese. He slowly raised his right hand and extended his five fingers in the air.
He clenched his fist fiercely! At this moment, the vines that climbed up the city wall also exerted force at the same time, destroying all the crossbows that had been set up, but not harming any soldiers.
But before the Cangshi warriors could express their anger at the destruction of their crossbows, they saw an even more shocking scene. They saw huge vines entwining broken and scattered stone bricks in the valley city. In the original lord's castle,
Rising from the ruins, they saw a tower tall enough to touch the blue flames burning in the sky.
The tall tower made of plants and bricks stretched out its body like an awakened giant. This caused the soldiers who had raised their bows and arrows to unconsciously put down their weapons, knowing that their arrows were missing.
It is impossible to harm a being with such power. The gray figure standing on the dragon's back is too far away.
"Of course, I will not deny the casualties caused by the rat people. But those deaths are caused by the madness caused by the plague and are not the wishes of the rat people. I have found a way to restore their sanity. I will do the same. So,
If one day you figure it out and are willing to accept these people as your kind again, I will leave. Before that, Valley City will no longer belong to the Cangshi Kingdom. I feel sorry for this rude behavior.
terribly sorry."
There was no apology in Cheese's words. He just bowed lightly to these people on the dragon's back, and then said, "Speaking of which, since this is no longer the land of Cangshi, then we can
Before we sit down and have a good conversation, please leave. Of course, if you still want to fight me now, be careful where you step."
Everyone, including Marcus and Andrea, all the Cangshi people could feel a hard wooden thorn pressing against their throats from below after the mage's words fell. They did not hesitate at all.
I suspect that as long as the mage moves his fingers, this so-called coalition will instantly become fertilizer that nourishes the green plants under his feet.
"Whether you want to go or stay is up to you to decide. I still have some personal matters to deal with, so I won't accompany you for now."
The giant dragon took the mage on its back and turned around and flew towards the newly built tower. Everyone could clearly see that on the back of the gray-robed wizard, the mark of a rat wearing a robe and holding a lantern was clearly visible.
.And this symbol later evolved into the earliest flag of the Skaven, which has been flying at the top of Valley City for a long time.
