Raindrops hit the tent, making a crackling sound. This tent, belonging to the head of the royal order, is no more gorgeous than those for ordinary soldiers. In fact, not just this one, all Knights of the kingdom are treated the same as the most ordinary soldiers. This is a sign that the grey lion knights are proud of. They don''t need material favors because they are supported by something more noble.


    A thin cloth tent like this naturally does not provide good warmth. The cold water vapor is rampant in the tent through the cloth. Maybe the only difference between inside and outside the tent is that there is no rain on your head. "It''s just a matter of saving your coat." Jack whispered. He had some complaints about the shabby tent. If Heather hadn''t come forward and hugged the old knight, wolfwalker couldn''t believe that the tent belonged to the famous iron Knight Atticus.


    The big Knight''s tent is not big. Several people enter it and become more crowded. Jack and Mona can''t stand the environment. They ask to watch outside the tent. Before leaving, the female soldier patted Elsa on the shoulder and asked some reluctant housewives to leave the tent with her, leaving room for the negotiators. The werewolf also nodded to the mage before he went out. However, he meant that he would rush in and knock down all the threatening people as soon as necessary.


    "You can take our guests to a warmer place and check the fire preparation." Atticus said to his adjutant, who was standing beside him, and the young man bowed down at once. Outside the tent came the voice of his conversation with his cheese buddies.


    Soon there were only Heather, cheese and Atticus left in the tent. The old knight sat on a stool made of stumps, his gray eyes fixed on the mage''s face under his hood. His right hand, intentionally or unintentionally, rubbed on the handle of iron rule, which made cheese suspect that he might draw his sword at any time. Since the other side used this attitude towards himself, the mage felt that he should also respond well. Like a prank, his black eyes under the gray robe began to flash a weak magic light.


    Heather, of course, could see the hostility between the two men. She supported her forehead, and the iron Knight hated magic. It was no new news, but now cheese''s performance did not seem to be accommodating to each other. The matron knew that if she didn''t open her mouth, the two men were likely to fight directly after a long time of looking at each other.


    "Your honor." Heather''s words attracted the attention of Atticus and liberated him from the confrontation with the mage.


    "You''d better explain who your friend is, Heather. I remember telling you not to get close to these tricksters Said the iron knight. He was very uncomfortable with the glowing eyes of cheese.


    "Of course, I have never forgotten your teaching." The female knight took Atticus'' left hand, hoping to calm down her former commander with her actions. "This gentleman is not the enemy. Sir, you have made him nervous. "


    Maybe Heather''s move worked. The hostile expression on the iron Knight''s face gradually eased down, "he should be more nervous. In front of him is the great Knight of this country. "


    "Well, is it? Should I bow to you now? Your honor Cheese always has a good temper, but that doesn''t mean he won''t be angry. Atticus''s unreasonable hostility makes him very unhappy. When the mage was not happy, his words naturally became mean.


    "What are you talking about?" Cheese''s words obviously angered the knight. The iron Knight immediately wanted to stand up and draw his sword, but Heather grabbed his left arm, making Atticus unable to do so. At the same time, the matron glared at the mage fiercely, and now she is very sorry to let Elsa leave. At least the landlady can stabilize the cheese mood here.


    "Can''t you men be so childish? What time is it, and you are still arguing over such trifles Heather said, her harsh tone made both men in the tent subconsciously bow their heads and touch their noses. They all know that the knight is right, but dignity, this thing sometimes makes people lose their sense.


    "I''m sorry for my rudeness, young man. I should not blame you for nothing. " In the end, it was Atticus who spoke first. The old knight was not afraid to admit his mistake if he thought he was wrong.


    "Well, I accept your apology. And in fact, I was wrong Cheese bowed his head to express his apology. Only then did he notice how much time they had wasted on this unimportant issue. This is really stupid, the mage thought to himself.


    "Now that we''ve all apologized, I think I can tell you why you''re here. The purpose of Heather''s coming here from the hammer is not to say hello to an old man like me, is it The iron Knight raised his eyebrows and turned to heather.


    "You are right. We are looking for some terrible things, including the rat man you were dealing with just now. They are all part of our pursuit." Before Heather spoke, cheese said that he didn''t want to waste any more time exploring each other, so he wanted to get to the point.


    "You mean you''re investigating the plague?" Without more hints, Atticus naturally guessed the purpose of the mage and others, and his eyebrows wrinkled. The iron Knight naturally does not think that such a terrible plague is natural, but what he is facing makes him have no time to think about the possibility of deeper level. Now hearing what Cheese said, he looked at the whole plague again."Yes, my companions and I led the way south from Saron. We went to the iron fort, witnessed its destruction, and then all the way to the king''s capital. We have a clue to a pharmacist in the association of pharmacists. "


    "Oh, I see. You''re the grey wizard who won Harold III Atticus had heard about the pharmacists'' Association, and that a grey - robed wizard had defeated the bloody axe in a glorious trial. At this time, he was sure that the young man in front of him was indeed the legendary wizard. This explains why tieze reacts to him.


    "Yes. And I deeply regret the death of the bloody axe. " When hearing the news of Harold III''s death, cheese was not happy. He felt remorse for taking the Duke''s most powerful weapon. If hern''s hand was still in the hands of the bloody axe, perhaps he would not have died in the hands of a group of rat men. From this point of view, cheese must be responsible for the death of Duke.


    "Don''t say that, boy. It''s better to die in the fight to defend our country than to die in bed. It''s the best end result for us old guys The iron Knight shrugged his shoulders. He was also sad about the death of his old friend. However, there were so many such deaths in his life that he could not make his numb heart grieve for each death for too long.


    However, this did not prevent him from changing his idea of cheese. No matter how, a person who knows how to respect his opponent always makes the old knight like it. Moreover, depending on the age of cheese, maybe it is not his choice to study magic. If the mage was born in Cang lion, there might be a young soldier as famous as Lothar. Atticus shook his head, shaking off the absurd idea.


    "No more. I can probably guess why you came to me. But are you really ready? " "I''m a little older, but I''m not blind. I saw something behind the rat man last night, and those guys won''t help us unless it''s a wizard. But, young man, the man you are going to see is not the same as the one you saw before. You are not familiar with the world in that castle. "


    "One of my motivations for survival, sir, is to explore. And it''s the quickest way to get to the answer Cheese laughed, he said to the iron knight. The mage didn''t know the secret of liehammerling, but the cheese master knew that there was a man in the capital who must know the answer. He was the king of this country.
