Dawn of the Grey Tower

The sun had completely disappeared on the horizon, and darkness covered the entire land like a blanket. The sloping stone tower stands alone here, and the top seems to be connected to the starry sky. The starry sky, of course, cannot be touched, or even seen.

Dense clouds covered the sky, and the wind passed through every gap with a cold breath, impacting the creatures on and off the land, telling them that winter would be earlier than usual.

Whenever this happens, there will always be a shrill howl in the ruins, and the more superstitious part of the Ratman thinks that it is the souls of the original residents of Xigu City crying by the wind.

But no matter it was ghosts or the cold wind, they dared not enter this tower full of gaps, especially when the gray robe was sitting on the only seat in the tower. Tea stem, has left.

The spell that sealed the room had also been broken long ago, and only the irregular lumps formed by the melted candles proved the passage of time. The cheese has always maintained the same posture, a thinking posture.

The unexpected visit from the same door did not surprise him too much, but the war prophecy brought by the other party was really disturbing. It wasn't exactly the pent-up tension that was troubling, but that his fellow disciples were already preparing for war and seemed confident that it would happen.

This enthusiastic attitude made Cheese realize that the gray tower in his memory may never come back. Once a conflict breaks out, no matter what the result is, the gray robes will no longer be so united no matter who wins or loses.

Maybe they have never been united, but it is better than being hostile to each other or even drawing swords against each other. But it seemed unavoidable, like a mine cart off the track, with no chance to stop before it overturned.

This will not distress Cheese, but it will cause him pain. He tried hard to think of a way to get rid of the pain, but the more he thought about it, the more painful he became. Does that pain come from being powerless? No, not anymore.

The current cheese can think of how to use the resources in his hands, how to win over the same door to form his own forces, how to avoid casualties, and even how to lobby a few more closely related objects.

But so what? The reality is not that if you win, everything will be fine. When the upheaval begins, the loss is gone, it is gone, and it can't come back. It doesn't make sense.

The mage understands it, so he's not really distressed, just sad, like being drained of all his strength by this unprovoked sadness, but sadness doesn't change anything.

"Those ghouls are gone. I think you might need something to eat." Elsa walked in at some point and put the prepared dinner on the table. There was concern in her eyes, but nothing was said in her mouth. Some things are better left unsaid, and so are some concerns.

"Thank you, I'm really hungry." Cheese nodded, then waved his hand, and a part of the bookshelf expanded outwards, forming a new chair beside him. There is indeed only one single chair in this tower, but that doesn't mean the mage can't improvise a second one.

The cheese started to eat silently, and the dishes were still warm, because the food box used by Elsa was designed by the gray robe, which has quite good heat retention. And after the return of cheese, the temperature in this tower is also different from the outside, and sitting in the library will not feel cold at all.

The red fox looked at the gray robe, "So, when are you going to leave? Don't look at me that way, your intentions are so obvious, it's hard not to be noticed. Since you came back, you have been dealing with business, as if afraid It’s as if I didn’t arrange it clearly enough. If it wasn’t for departure, why would you be in such a hurry?”

She knew him, every point better than the last. If time has given Cheese any gift, it is Elsa, and those around him who he cares about and who care about him.

In this world, there may be love at first sight and friendship with like-mindedness, but they all need time to cultivate. At this time, the passage of time and the occurrence of changes will not make people sad at all, but will make people full of expectations and eager to experience The next new change.

Changes are always like this, like a river that never stays, taking some things away and rushing some things in.

"I might go to a war, a war that I don't want to happen." Cheese took a sip of the bowl of bean soup, and the taste was not bad. The umami agent made from the dried mushrooms made the whole Valley City Cooking is full of delightful flavours.

"There is no war worth looking forward to. No one really wants to fight for war. If they expect that, they are actually expecting the benefits obtained through war." Elsa brushed her hair, bent Supporting his head with his arms, he looked sideways at him. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

Cheese nodded and smiled, "Now you are more like a wise man. I know exactly what they are fighting for, but I don't think the result of the war will satisfy anyone. Someone is trying to make me accept it with a bigger attempt It, honestly, I can't do it. Granted, this war may be about the larger scale, but its essence is still small, uncomfortable stuff. I can't just accept that it happened fact."

"Then can't you not go to participate? They can't rush in and take you to the battlefield." Elsa whispered, reaching out to stroke Cheese's hair. Handled it myself.

"Yes, they really can't..." The gray robes couldn't force Cheese to join the war, but he couldn't take the entire valley and the small town down the mountain. They knew he was here, that he had apprentices, that he had friends, that he had people who were closer than that.

Perhaps the cheese can remain neutral, and even make deals with fellow soldiers who participated in the war, and sell the raw materials they need to make a profit. Holding the settlement closest to the battlefield, not only can he profit by doing so, the trade items of the gray robes can also allow the residents here to easily survive the harsh winter.

"But I can't watch those idiots kill each other. It's stupid enough that things have come to this point." Will a group of gray robes break out of war over a broken tower in the wasteland? This is too ridiculous in the eyes of the current cheese.

"Then you go and win it. Then let them know what a meaningless thing you are doing." Elsa's eyes were shining in the candlelight, very beautiful.

"This sounds familiar. Did you say that when you asked me to hunt Gloria?"

"Haha, that seems to be the case. But I didn't know that the one who stole the cattle was today's Lady of the Valley City. Don't tell her."
