Chapter 21 (1/2)
”What happens if you lose ten years of memory?” Hahn asked. In the soldier's eyes, it seemed better to lose a decade's memory than to lose a decade's life.
”As I have said before, we are what we are because we have experienced what we have experienced in the past. In other words, those memories of the past make our life tower different. But what do you think of the tower if you take away some of it, especially a whole decade of it? ” Cheese asked.
“…… It will It's not the same as before? ” ”Monkey” pondered for a long time and said uncertainly.
”Isn't that for sure? It's missing a part. Of course it's not the same as before.” Said the boar.
”No, I don't mean that. I mean, if that tower loses a large part of it, such as its outer wall, then, in the eyes of others, it looks like It's like... ”
Jack tries to organize the language, but the problem is too abstruse to express clearly with his knowledge. In fact, it's not just jack, Elsa, Mona, but even those who have experienced it, including mayor band and residents of sweet water, who are not sure what happened to them. But they instinctively know that the cost is far more serious than a simple 10-year life expectancy.
Although many people, including mayor Bande, thought cheese could give them an answer, the mage was vague about it, as if he didn't know exactly what it meant. However, after this discussion, cheese finally clarified the misunderstanding with the residents of sweet water town, and the Hongmen banquet held by Mayor band became a real welcome banquet. Only because the mayor's understanding of the plague comes from the devil, so he can provide five people with limited clues.
………………
”In order to ensure that they would not be infected, they took the initiative to reduce communication with the count and other areas. They moved into this camp half a year ago. It seems that unless they find the devil, they will not know much more about the plague than we do. ” Said the woman soldier. After the banquet, the five cheese men summed up the information in the room arranged by the mayor.
”Although these people in sweet water escaped the plague, they fell into the trap of the devil. I don't know whether they are lucky or unfortunate.” Elsa sighed.
”Is there really no way to help them?” Mona asked, looking at the mage. Although the mayor of the town has asked cheese many times on this issue, the cheese company has claimed that he is powerless. But the female soldiers think that the mage should know something.
”It's useless. The devil's deal can't break the contract, because breaking the contract itself costs more than they want to get back.” Cheese shook his head and sighed helplessly.
”What if we killed the devil?” The problem of ”wild boar” is always so simple and direct, but what he said is not unreasonable. If the devil who carries out the transaction dies, the transaction will not be established.
”Not to mention that if the devil doesn't want to show up, we can't find him. Even if he stands in front of you, I'm afraid you can't kill him. Believe me, even the best weapons in all kingdoms can't cut the devil's body. ” Said cheese, with a look on his face.
”Well, we've been through a lot today, so let's take time to rest. It's not every day we have a chance to sleep in the house.” Mona saw that the master's tone was not right, and said quickly. Today, after a fierce battle, they tried their best to clarify their position. They were really tired. So they said hello, agreed to get up in the morning, and went back to their separate rooms to rest.
The sun can't be seen in the cave, so we can only judge the time of the outside world by the light through the gaps in the tree roots at the top of the cave. But cheese knows that it should be night now. The rooms in the camp were not rich, so the mayor could only arrange three rooms for five people to rest. So of course, monkey and boar, Mona and Elsa, and cheese, as a mage, got a separate room. After returning to the room, cheese didn't rest. Although he was exhausted by the situation that he was too busy for these days, the mage was not as vulnerable as others thought. Moreover, the appearance of the devil made him feel more confused about the future of this mission, and the trend of things seemed to be developing towards a direction invisible to a mage. Irritability lingered in cheese's mind. He thought of anlina. If she was here, she would give her a lot of good advice. So, would you like to ask her for help? Although the task should theoretically be completed by cheese alone, the teacher did not prohibit him from getting some advice and tips from others.
Just as the mage was about to call Anna, his door rang.
”Well, you didn't eat much at the party before, I mean, much less than when you were at the top of the dragon's spine. So I took some ingredients from the kitchen You know, I made a snack Opening the door, Elsa carried a large wooden tray, which was still steaming hot oil sausage and cheese bread. The proprietress stood at the door, a little embarrassed.I don't know why, when I saw Elsa's face, cheese felt a lot less irritability. He smelled the sausage, and his stomach also made a slight noise.
