When cheese and Roland follow the sparrow to the South Gate of Wangdu. They saw a lively scene gathering under the gate. Crows circling in the sky and noisy passers-by on the ground brought a disturbing Concerto in this oppressive afternoon. Shadow In other words, the shadow''s body was hung on the inner side of the city gate, and a black noose was put around his neck to hang the killer in the air above the gate.


    No need to get close, cheese can be sure that the man hanging on the gate is indeed a shadow. The mage can be sure that the shadow is dead. The soul in that body has left the world. Cheese took a deep breath. Although I didn''t know this bartender and killer for a long time, the mage was deeply impressed by the mutual exploration when we met for the first time.


    After sparrow saw the body of the shadow again, he lost the power to stand. For the sparrow, the shadow is his brother like existence. In the days before cheese arrived, although this "red blood" bartender often bullied sparrow, more often than not, the existence of shadow made sparrow and many children like him free from tragic fate. But now, the mouthless bartender has become a corpse on the city gate, and he can no longer protect the children.


    Roland''s brow was wrinkled under the brim of his hat. Although the old man and the shadow had only met in a witch''s house, he knew that this man was on the side of cheese. Moreover, sparrow was so sad that the old man could only wrap him up in a wide cloak and walk into the shadow of the street without being noticed by passers-by. It can be imagined that if the sparrow did not escape to the house where cheese was located in time, there might be another body hanging here today.


    "When did he hang up there?" Seeing sparrow, he couldn''t speak. Cheese walked alone into the crowd and asked a passer-by. The mage controlled his facial expression very well, which made him look like another guy who didn''t know the truth.


    In the spread of gossip, human beings may have instinctive talent. After the man took a look at Cheese''s normal dress, he looked around him as if he were going to say something shocking secret. He whispered in the mage''s ear.


    "I don''t know the exact time. It seems that the man was hanged there just after noon."


    In the afternoon That is to say, after sparrow was separated yesterday, the shadow was hung here for public display a day later.


    "The city guards did it? What crime did that man commit? " The mage continued to ask with the same expression and movement. It is a common practice of the guards to hang the most heinous criminals at the gate of the city as an example. So it makes sense for cheese to guess that the people who hang the shadow are the guards or the armed forces of the kingdom.


    "Hey, who said no! The king hasn''t hanged a man at the gate of the city for many years. I remember the last time he did this, the first king exterminated the rebellious aristocratic Lord, and then hung the corpse of that fellow on the gate for three days and three nights. " The man said excitedly, "but I don''t think it''s so simple this time. Did you come late? I heard that the soldiers guarding the city gate were also surprised when the body was found. It seems that this man was not hanged by them. Others said that they had seen the soldiers send someone to ask their superiors how to deal with the corpse. "


    Although this kind of hearsay can''t be completely believed, the cheese secretary really read it from the faces of the soldiers who maintain the order near the city gate. The soldiers did look like they didn''t know what to do. But if the person who hanged the shadow here is not a soldier of the king''s capital, who has the ability and means to hang a person on the gate of the city in full view of the public?


    Cheese''s brain is a little confused. He didn''t know what the best solution was in this situation. Should you walk away as if you don''t know? But looking at the shadow''s expression of death, the mage really can''t bear to throw him here for these ignorant people to watch. Moreover, he believed that if "one eye" knew that he was leaving like this, the underground leader who regarded the shadow as his confidant would certainly not let go of himself.


    But if you ask the guards to put down their shadow bodies It''s enough to expose your existence. It''s probably a trap set by the enemy. Who can guarantee that there is no assassin with a sharp blade lurking in the crowd around? It''s obviously unwise to start now.


    With such a tangled idea, cheese went back to Roland and and their side. The little sparrow has stopped crying under Roland''s comfort. The child has not never seen death, but the death of irrelevant people is quite different from the death of people around him. Slapped sparrow on the shoulder and cheese looked down at the child. The little sparrow also looked at the mage. The traces of tears and snot on his face made the dirty little face even more dirty. But Sparrow didn''t care. He looked at the cheese with a praying eye. Although there was no sound, he said two words to the mage with his mouth.


    "Save him"


    at the moment of reading the little sparrow''s lips, the cheese head suddenly seems to explode. The mage felt that something in his heart was broken, and the wound was flowing out with hot fire. The reason was smashed by anger in an instant, and cheese felt the fury never before for the provocation of the enemy and the insult to his companion. But the more angry, the softer the cheese expression. He lowered himself, touched Sparrow''s head with his hand, and said."Don''t worry. I''ll bring him back."


    The grey robe reappeared on the cheese. The costumes originally worn to hide people''s eyes are meaningless to the current mage. The cheese began to smell terrible. When he stood up and walked towards the crowd, although he did not know why, the onlookers unconsciously avoided the hooded man in grey. Although it was only a few seconds, Roland was keenly aware that behind the grey cheese robe, a strange pattern with a twisted body like an octopus and tentacles, but with a large number of eyes, flashed away.


    "I''m sorry, sir. You can''t get close." The soldiers guarding the corpse blocked the cheese road with crossed swords. Although the two soldiers wanted to ignore the terrible gray robed man when they saw cheese, they still drew their swords and stood in front of the mage out of the responsibility of the city defense army.


    With his head down, the cheese saw two metal shining blades crossed in front of him. He raised his head slightly to let the two soldiers see his eyes.


    "Stop it! Let him pass Just as the two soldiers were about to see cheese''s eyes, a voice came from behind the crowd.


    Hearing this, the two soldiers quickly withdrew from both sides as if they were granted amnesty. Since someone has issued an order, they, as soldiers, have no problem carrying out the order.


    Cheese is a little familiar with the sound. He feels as if he has heard it somewhere. Out of this feeling, the mage turned his head, and then he saw a golden figure coming in from the separated crowd.


    "Long time no see, Mr. wizard." Rosa said with an embarrassed smile in his signature gold armor.
