Chapter 301 (1/2)
The mage looked at the Cang lion king with some doubts. Indeed, what the grey robe represents in the secular world is not only magic, but also the trouble matching its powerful power. But cheese felt that what was in the eyes of this man was not fear, but some more dangerous emotion. Where have I offended the king of the grey lion? The mage asked himself this, but soon, the man who was puzzled by cheese explained the reason why he was hostile to the mage.
”I heard that you protected Lothar and defeated Duke Harold at the trial of honor, didn't you?” The king's yellow eyes made the mage step back unconsciously. His feet hit the seat behind him and made a dull noise. Heather saw this scene, instinctively wanted to stand up and stop the Lord of the grey lion's further action, but the action of the female knight was stopped by Atticus. At the same time, the Grand Knight also reached out to the others to show that he did not want to be impulsive. He knew that the king would not really hurt cheese.
The mage was touched by the pain on his leg, and his brain suddenly woke up. Cheese suddenly realized that although the man in front of him was the king of a country, he was just a mortal in front of the grey robed mage. He had no need to be afraid of him. So the cheese straightened his collar and replied in a respectful but not humble tone, ”it is, your majesty. Sir Rosa is my friend, and I don't think it's wrong for me to prove his innocence. ”
”Hum” the king, like a lion, snorted coldly and went back to his throne and sat down with his hands on the wooden handrails. Anyone familiar with the king knows that his undulating chest and dangerous light in his eyes mean that he is on the verge of anger. But the anger didn't break out after all. The king's breath gradually eased down. He looked at the cheese not far away from him and said.
”Sit down, young wizard. I apologize for my impoliteness. Harold's death should not be blamed on you. It was the damned rats who took him from us The king's tone is a little decadent. It seems that the death of the Great Duke of Blood Axe has really caused a great blow to him.
”In fact, my majesty, I'm afraid it's not the rat man's fault.” Cheese continued to stand. When he mentioned the death of Harold III, the mage's face was somewhat cloudy. ”Those rat people are your people, they are just infected by the plague. Those who are really responsible for the death of Duke Harold and all the soldiers and the people of the grey lion are those who spread the plague
”The disseminator of the plague? It sounds as if you've got something already, right? ” The king inquired, of course, that he knew that the crazy rat people were also, or had been, their own people. If they could find the originator of the plague to avenge them, the king would not miss this opportunity.
”I've found some clues, but they're not enough. That's why I asked Lord Atticus to bring me to you, your majesty The mage said, bowing slightly, ”I hope you can answer my conjectures and assumptions about this country. This can greatly speed up the process of my work and minimize the suffering of the grey lion
”It sounds like a very noble reason, er,...”
”Cheese, your majesty.”
The king shrugged. ”Of course, Mr. cheese. Your reason is very noble. If you are really acting for this reason, I think I must give you my full help. ”
The king's words made several people present happy, they were very happy to see things go smoothly. But the grey robed mage and the iron Knight did not show a relaxed look on their faces, because they noticed a prerequisite in the king's words, ”if”.
