Lothar''s steps are a little heavy, which may be because he has not climbed such a high step for four years. After all, there are no tall buildings in the lost heart Bay. This may also be due to the crutch he was holding. This crutch was cut from driftwood floating on the beach in front of his house in lost heart Bay. The bottom end was covered with tin by a blacksmith. There was no decoration on the whole crutch, only natural wood texture. The lame wolf spider, who has come to lost heart Bay in the past two years, knows the nickname. In fact, Lothar''s leg is not lame, and the wound after fighting with evil spirits three years ago recovered surprisingly well with the witch''s ointment and conditioning. But he just wanted to lean on this crutch, as if without it, the weight on his back would crush him.


    At the end of the steps, the count blinked, and the door in front of him was familiar and strange. He breathed deeply twice, and finally put his hand on the door and pushed it open. It''s not complicated, but it''s a mixture of herbs. Sunlight through the windows of the room lit up a large table with books and scrolls. A man in a gray robe was writing something at his desk. When Lothar reached the other half of the table, pulled out his chair and sat down, the man in grey had just finished writing the last word.


    "You don''t need that crutch. It doesn''t make sense to slow you down." Cheese wiped the ink off the quill and put it aside.


    For the mage''s suggestion, Lothar just chuckled. "At first, I didn''t know why I wanted to make this crutch. Later, I realized that I just wanted to hold something in my hand, not a weapon. Oh, old habits are hard to change. By the way, I heard you just came back? "


    "Like you, a long journey. I don''t need to go back and forth by boat. I can''t stand the bumpy feeling on Longji mountain. " Cheese shrugged and pointed to the cupboard behind Lothar. "That''s a souvenir I brought back. It''s a device that can replace crossbows in the future. But I don''t suggest that Cangshi start to develop it now. It''s too early. "


    The count turned his head and saw, as expected, an unusual emptiness on the top of the six story bookcase, which was full of books. Now there are only two things left. One is the lantern that Andre, the dwarf of the hammer, gave to cheese after the rat plague. The lantern retains the morning light of a certain morning. Another one, Lothar can''t see the use, but since cheese says it can replace crossbow, it should be a long-range weapon. Generally speaking, it seems to be composed of two sticks, one long and one short, at an angle close to a right angle. The shorter side should be the grip, and the longer end should be cylindrical. Lothar could not see the effect of a strange bulge protruding from the right angle joint, but the trigger protruding from a longer stick was similar to that of a crossbow arrow.


    "What is that?" The count asked curiously, but he did not get up to fiddle with it. Now Lothar is not that keen on weapons.


    "There are a lot of names, but I''m not sure what they are. Let''s call it a musket. It can use powder to ignite a metal gun head. It is faster than a crossbow arrow, but its range is slightly worse. I brought this thing back to a bigger place, and those muskets can fight farther. But the explosive powder will destroy the natural magic around me. As a caster, I don''t like it very much The cheese replied casually.


    Lothar withdrew his eyes. He had never heard of such a weapon, even in lost heart Bay, where all kinds of goods can be found. As a soldier, he soon realized that if the weapon had the power and speed described by cheese, he was afraid that it would soon change people''s understanding of war. However, since the mage said that it is not the time, let it continue to be displayed on the bookshelf quietly as a booty. This is not the purpose of his visit to cheese.


    "You always surprise me." Said the count with a sigh.


    Who expected cheese but showed a subtle expression, "no, this time or you brought a bigger surprise. One eye has sent pigeons to tell me the details. I''m sorry


    "Nothing to regret." There is still a smile on the corner of Rosa''s mouth when she speaks, but this smile can''t hide the sadness that will spread to eternity. "We will return to our home, the world may not have an end, but there must be an end in life, right? She just went to have a rest first. I can''t be as smart as she is. There are still things waiting for me to do. Besides, she left her


    "Is it Helen? Helen seater Heishan, your daughter, you gave her the names of the two most respectable people you know. As a three-year-old child, she can withstand the journey from lost heart bay to Cang lion, but it is quite difficult. Many people in this land have never gone through such a long distance in their life Cheese has not seen the black mountain Princess born in the Bay, because today is the day when Lothar and his party have just arrived in the valley.


    "Nothing. She has more spirit than me. And captain hafdan, I mean, the captain of the black arrow, who retired from lost heart Bay and retired here, sailed steadily. Peggy, they spoil her a little too much. I wonder if the girl really realizes she''s on the boat Along with Lothar came Ellie, Peggy, HeLa and several other witches who longed for a peaceful life. After the death of the great witch, the new head of the sorceress group, Ethan, lifted the ban on the closure of the heartless sorceress and allowed the witches to leave the lost heart Bay. At the same time, cheese also heard that the new great witch is actively in contact with witches scattered around the world, it is said that she intends to restore the tradition of witch night. Whether it''s good or bad, he can''t see clearly for the time being."You don''t have to worry about letting her hang out with the witches, especially Ellie." Cheese''s worry is not unreasonable. Witches are moody. For a child who can''t understand this, a little carelessness will anger these casters, which will bring disastrous consequences.


    "She was born without a mother, and to be honest, I don''t know how to take care of a baby. It''s Peggy. They feed her, so I think if she didn''t get angry when she was a child, she won''t be right now. " Speaking of her daughter, Rosa''s expression turned to be gentle. "But you do remind me that when she is older, it''s better to find someone to teach her etiquette. It''s one thing to obey or not, and another thing to understand. I don''t know if Gloria has the time. Would you please ask for me? No, I''m going to ask myself. There''s literacy, talking and all kinds of knowledge. She can''t be like me and her mother any more. She can''t do anything but fight and kill. "


    "I''ll teach her." Cheese almost subconsciously said this sentence, "if you don''t mind if I don''t have any teaching experience. Don''t worry. I won''t teach her magic. " Wolf Walker Jack and Lothar should be the mage''s best male friends after they came to Cangshi. He wanted to help the friend he had not seen for many years.


    Originally, in cheese, the count should have hesitated to let him teach his daughter, but as soon as Lothar listened to his words, he immediately showed a successful expression, "of course, that''s not desirable. I don''t know anyone more knowledgeable than you. And if you''re worried that you don''t have any teaching experience, why don''t you try to find some time to give lectures to the mice first? I remember in your title that you were the tutor of all the rat people, but Gloria said you didn''t give a lecture seriously once. How about it for your future disciples


    The mage opened his mouth and was stunned for a few seconds. He realized that he had been calculated by his old friend and Gloria, which made him cry and laugh, "OK. I will arrange it. "


    After finishing the task assigned to him by the Baroness Rattus, Lothar relaxed himself into the back of his back. Looking at a large number of books behind cheese, he suddenly said, "my deformation magic will be lifted as soon as I get to the grey lion. Did you do it? "


    "If you ask that, you have an answer, don''t you? I''m just a gloomy wizard sitting in this tower all year round, with neither the ability nor the interest to spy on the kingdom. In the final analysis, magic is related to human will. When you don''t want to camouflage yourself, the magic used to camouflage will naturally disappear. "


    "Yes, so What about God? What about the soul? Do they exist as long as we think they exist? "


    Cheese didn''t answer immediately. He looked at Lothar and leaned back into his chair. "In the past, that is, the era we speak of, the stars in the sky were closely related to all the creatures on the earth. Astrologers can also judge the different fates of all living beings by the direction of the stars. In those days, God and man lived together. The sky was not so high that we could not go up in any case, and the earth was not so deep and dark. In those days, no one would ask questions like gods and souls, because they were real and accessible


    "Later, the sky became higher and the earth thicker. The stars are far away from us, so far away that they are no longer so closely related to the people on the earth. What they foretell becomes obscure. Even divination begins to wander between accuracy and inaccuracy, and the gods are missing. So magic came into being as a way to go back to that time that was gone. But they still haven''t really left us. They are still here, doing something that makes us happy or painful


    "Nothing is eternal, my friend. So our times will pass, so will the era after us, and so will the era after us. At that point, we will be the post demographic era, then. At that time, there was magic in the world, and occasionally a giant dragon could be seen in the sky. The direction of the sea breeze was controlled, just like the tide. "


    "We will be that time. But is that something to be sad about? no Because even if the world changes, there is always something that can go beyond time. For example, even if the name, location, and plot of a story are lost, the core of the story will remain and be reborn with a new look. And we will be forever in the story. "
