Chapter 56 (1/2)

The fire at the pharmacist's compound, of course, alarmed the rest of the town, and Gregory and Lothar quickly brought their soldiers to the ashes of the office building. Where they found the patrol soldiers who had been knocked unconscious and tied by cheese and three mages who had fainted near the site. From the statements of the soldiers and what they found at the scene, there is no doubt that they were arrested for arson and burning down the Pharmacy Association's compound.

When cheese woke up again, he saw neither the sky nor the shabby wooden shed in the quarantine area. Without any experience or reasoning, the mage knew what kind of building the roof he saw belonged to - the cell. The coarse straw under his body felt a little uncomfortable for the cheese, who was only wearing close fitting clothes. He found that his grey robe was no longer on him. Although the robe contains almost all the items of cheese on the body, the good thing is that if you want to really take those items out of the robe, if you don't have my approval, I'm afraid you can't even find the ”pockets” that contain them. So cheese is not worried about the safety of his assets.

In contrast, the mage can clearly remember that Elsa had seen another state of her own in the fire. He was not very concerned about the disclosure of her secret, especially to the landlady, who was a special person for him. What really upset cheese was that he knew how much influence he would have on ordinary people in another state In a sense, it's more dangerous than a raging fire.

Support the body with the right hand. Although the left arm of cheese can move freely in the fire scene, the mage's left hand is still unable to exert force under normal conditions. After sitting up reluctantly, a feeling of weakness swept through the body. Cheese knew that this was because he had used his strength in a way that was too rough, leading to some side effects on him. Although the mage had learned how to control his own power with the least cost after learning, the situation was urgent at that time, and cheese was not allowed to cast his magic calmly. He had to use this primitive method to deal with it. I feel the weakness that I haven't seen for a long time. When I don't know how to use my own strength, this feeling often appears in cheese. But since I got the teacher's instruction, this feeling has not been felt by the mage for many years. Although I have expected that this action will not be as smooth as I imagined, but I have to use this power, but cheese has not expected before.

”It's a real mess.”

Shaking his head, cheese said with a bitter smile. His eyes followed him around the cell. The cell in which the mage was imprisoned was not large. The square room was less than ten steps long. Half of the cell was filled with straws. The mage was lying on the straw before. It seems that they act as the ”bed” of prisoners in the cell. There are three walls on four sides of the cell, and the remaining one is made of iron bars thick with fists. Cheese guesses that these bars should be hollow. A small town of turbid water can't waste so much iron to build a prison. The upper part of the wall opposite the railing had an air vent which was also sealed with iron bars. Judging from the location of the vent and the faint sunlight, the cell should be lower than the ground.

”Cheese, is that you?”

At this time, Elsa's voice came from the back of a wall. Judging from the size and source of the voice, cheese could be sure that the landlady was locked next door to her, and the walls of the two cells were not too thick.

”It's me. Are you ok?”

When he opened his mouth to answer the landlady's question, the mage found that his voice did not know when it became extremely hoarse. His original fluent pronunciation made his throat ache. This is not a good sign. For cheese, there is no way to pronounce clearly. What is affected is not only communicating with people, but also many magic mantras are strict with pronunciation Therefore, if a mage loses his voice, he will only be able to play 23 / 10 of his skills.

However, for Elsa now, the voice of cheese is not what she has to consider. As long as she can hear the voice of the mage, the landlady's heart will be lowered. However, the voice of the other party also wakes up the vague memories. The indescribable eyes once again occupy Elsa's brain, and the unspeakable terror makes her unconsciously emit a short scream.

Hearing this scream, it's not hard to guess what happened to the other party when you think of the previous experience. Originally, the mage hoped that the landlady could forget about that time because of her vague consciousness. Now it seems that things are not as smooth as cheese thinks.

”Calm down, Elsa, calm down. Whatever you see, don't think about it. It's just an illusion. ” Although the voice was hoarse, the mage's words seemed to have some calming magic. The landlady, who had been in fear, calmed down slowly after hearing the cheese. She leaned against the wall between the cheese cell and her cell, breathing the air greedily like a drowner who had just been rescued from the water.Cheese also leaned against the wall so that he could communicate with Elsa at a minimum volume. Although he knew that his own power would bring unimaginable impact to ordinary people, this was the first time cheese encountered such a situation, so the mage did not know how to make the landlady no longer recall what she had seen at that time. Although she used a little small means to make the other party temporarily free from fear, it was only a temporary means.
