Coming out of the devil''s restaurant, it''s already midnight. The cold wind on the river cools the busy crowd in the city, reminding them that it is no longer the time for sunlight to dominate.
The dim yellow oil lamps on the street can only make people see the road clearly. As for the various shapes and colors on both sides of the road, they can outline a general outline at most. It''s very quiet here. It''s different from the streets that are still bustling at night like tiefelt Avenue and Wharf district. It''s close to the residence of the mages in the city of Wanfa and belongs to the upper class area of the city.
Only here, the chaotic city will be artificially resisted, creating a pure land. False pure land, in this quiet, dormant countless restless soul.
The bottom of the grey robe swayed in the wind. The light of the street lamp covered up the starlight and moonlight, but it didn''t make people feel bright.
Cheese likes the wind. He likes it when he is in the grey tower. The stronger the wind, the better. It''s best to make people suffocate, because in the strong wind, he can feel an inexplicable pleasure and excitement. However, although the wind in the north is cold and dry, the wind in the river is like a wet snake, drilling into the sleeve along all possible gaps, leaving cold marks on the skin surface with its slippery body.
But it didn''t get in the way. With a snap of the cheese''s finger, the wind automatically avoided him and made the air around the grey robe smooth.
A figure jumped from the eaves of the street and saluted to the grey robe. He wore a shawl, also gray, and a hood over his shoulders, which at first glance looked like cheese. But if you look closely, you can see that there are a few long hairs sticking out of the hood of this visitor, which are not common to human beings, and there is a thin tail behind it,
"I know you''re here after many inquiries. You''d better go back early. They''re worried."
"Worried enough to send you out to me?" Cheese smiles because Jerry is better than he thought. When they left a few days ago, all aspects of the rat man had been in the worst.
"No, I was going to ask you about your plans. As a result, I learned from Mr. Jianqi that you didn''t come back, so I inquired all the way and finally locked here. I just don''t know whether you intend to stay here or not, so I didn''t rush in. "
Jerry whispered about how he found it. Because the cheese didn''t cover up his whereabouts, it''s not difficult for the assassin who is proficient in it to track.
Cheese nodded and looked back at the restaurant hidden in the normal building. Jerry''s five senses are much sharper than ordinary people. If it''s an ordinary devil, the rat man may be able to detect the clue two or three blocks away. But now, they are standing not far away from the restaurant, but Jerry''s appearance has never been noticed.
This makes the grey robe have to feel a faint fear of Wei Dao''s stealth ability. If the demons are so good at hiding, the world will become a lot more dangerous. Fortunately, as Wei Dao himself said, he is probably the longest dormant devil in the human world, so the existence of completely disobeying the devil''s instinct is doomed not to be too much.
"When you do things later, be careful of this area. Here, it''s not as peaceful as it looks. " Cheese doesn''t stay any longer. He signals Jerry to keep up and continues to walk forward. One before the other, they gradually walked out of the block, and the voice of the crowd came from the distance again.
Ratman instinctively wanted to hide in the dark, but cheese stopped him and pointed to the path. It''s not too crowded, but it''s a right road, different from the eaves of the dark lane where assassins usually walk.
Jerry showed a struggling look, but the mage''s will was firm. He almost grabbed the mouse man''s shoulder and dragged him onto the path.
Of course, the assassin can fight back. He has at least five ways, but none of them is used against his friends. So he had to obediently walk on the path with the grey robe, accepting the eyes and attention of the visitors.
Even in the rush, rats who can walk and dress are rare, because most of the people who saw him earlier have become the ghosts of one of the daggers in the row on the waist of the rat man. He was an assassin, and he was taught to avoid all attention.
"Carlos has taught you well, some of them are wonderful." Cheese takes his children down the street, waving his fist in front of the drunkard pointing at them and letting them go,
"Your tutor, who is half human and half devil, have you ever seen him so timid? It seems that people will lose a piece of meat when they see their face, and they will lose everything when they know their name. You are not demons or demons. Names are just codes. "
"My mentor has experienced a lot. He knows what kind of road he is on. He has accepted himself and can face everything. And I, I''m still looking for that road, I''m still, confused. "
Rat man said with some dismay that he had new opportunities, new teaching and new views on the world recently. But he still can''t answer the question that always bothers him, his own question, about how the rat man exists."This is where the guy is irresponsible. He only taught you skills, taught you how to kill, how to climb and dodge, how to track and poison. He didn''t teach you why to do it, why to make a living, and the emotion and logic behind the technology. It''s like pushing chicks straight out of the nest, forcing them to fly instinctively. Man is not a bird or beast. Instinct is only a part of our life. No matter how much proportion it occupies, it cannot be the whole. You are not your mentor. You don''t have to find the entrance to his road, because you are already on your own road. "
Cheese patted Jerry on the shoulder and whispered.
The rat man thought about the words of the grey robe, and no longer focused on the people around him. But he has been trained so that he can rely on subconscious and instinctive light away from everyone who may bump into him, including those who mean badly.
A drunkard throws the bottle at Jerry, and the mouse man skilfully passes by. He even entangles the bottle with his tail in the air and puts it gently on the ground. His ability has already exceeded the imagination of this body, but he is not clear.
"Believe me, Dear Jerry. Power, skill, knowledge, they are never the end, they are the process, the means and the way. What is really important is not only in them, but also in them. What is really important is everywhere, otherwise it would not be so important. You and I seem to be on a completely different road, but we are just a coin. The arc on the left and the arc on the right, the end and the starting point are the same. Don''t indulge in those things. Don''t be a slave to knowledge and skills. If you want to be a master like your tutor and fisherman, you have to
Jerry was silent. He didn''t know how much cheese he had heard. But what is certain is that the mage not only knows the road he has taken, he can also plan the shortcut through the surrounding terrain, so he spent a whole morning walking, and they walked back without much effort.
In the trance of the oil lamp, they returned to the mansion. The awakened atar and KAILAS are talking closely. Others are sitting or standing in the hall, enjoying the rare time leisurely.
As the two men came in, everyone''s eyes converged. Cheese took off his hood and gave a smile to his companions.
"I have bad news, folks."
