Stepping into the space rift, the scene in front of you changed from a small guest room in the Dragon's Back Tavern to a gloomy room. The weak candlelight around could only provide the most basic lighting for the guests here, but fortunately the guests here and

The owner can basically see clearly in the dark.

"Welcome back, Master Cheese." A low and slightly distorted voice sounded, and a blue creature wearing a butler's uniform stood on one side of the room. Its bloated body made the butler's uniform look a bit awkward.

ridiculous.

"Afu, help me prepare the bathroom, and then go and inform Senior Lily that I'm going to visit her later." As Cheese said, he took off his loose gray robe and handed it to the blue creature beside him.

The long-lasting smile on the top of the dragon's spine could no longer be seen at this time.

"Okay, Master." The blue creature replied, its body briefly shining with a dark blue halo several times.

"Miss Anlina is already up. She accepts your visit and is willing to listen to your experience of this trip."

"Got it." Cheese said, pushing open the door to the room.

It was not visible in the room before. The place where the cheese came turned out to be a huge tower. The middle of the tower was hollow. There were spiral stairs going up and down against the hollow part in the center. There were people scattered next to the stairs.

The height of the room and the tower should be extremely astonishing, because from where the cheese is, you can't see the bottom floor downwards, and you can only see the white light source falling from the sky upwards.

Cheese walked towards the upper level of the tower, while the blue creature called Afu followed steadily three steps behind him.

"By the way, is there any news about the teacher?" Cheese asked.

"Unfortunately, Master, there is still no news about Master so far." Ah Fu replied.

"Ah, forget it then." Cheese said, while standing in front of a door, "I will go there by myself later, and you go prepare the laboratory first. In vivo experiments may be conducted in the near future."

"Yes, Master." Ah Fu watched as Cheese closed the bathroom door, turned around and walked towards the bottom of the tower.

…………

"Senior sister, Cheese is here to visit." Standing in front of a two-person high oak door, Cheese knocked on the door and shouted while wearing newly changed clothes.

After he finished shouting these words, the two heavy doors slowly opened, revealing the dark space inside. Cheese shook his head. As a senior, he has always been very stylish, although this is not a big problem.

However, he still believed that people who study knowledge should strive for simplicity and efficiency. With this in mind, he still stepped into the darkness behind the door, and as he walked closer, he was about ten steps away from the door. On both sides of the wall,

Two rows of candles were lit, illuminating the three-person-wide corridor. At the end of the corridor was a brick wall, blocking the road, and one had to bypass it on both sides. This design method is said to be the work of the owner here, that is,

Cheese's teacher brought it back from the far east. After bypassing the screen wall, Cheese finally saw the person he came to visit.

There is a huge wooden table with a fireplace next to it. A golden girl is reading a book by the light of the fire. This seems to be a peaceful scene, but Cheese knows that the golden girl in front of him is not at all

You don't need any light source to see the text in the book in front of you. All the decorations here are just because of the owner's interest.

"Senior Lily, I'm here." Cheese walked to the girl's side, pulled up a chair and sat down.

"Hehe, my cute little cheese is finally back!" The girl had already closed the book when Cheese approached, and as she raised her head, her bright red eyes became particularly eye-catching.

"Senior, didn't we tell you not to scream so disgustingly? I'm already eighteen years old!" Cheese looked helpless, but there was nothing he could do about it. After all, this senior had watched him grow up since he was a child.

big.

"My little cheese has grown up, don't you want to call me senior? Senior is so sad." As she said this, the girl made a depressed expression.

"Ah ah ah, can you be normal, senior! I have serious business now!" Cheese said frantically.

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. Tell me, I will ask you to go back and ask for help in the middle of the adult mission. What problem did you encounter? My little cheese~"

Cheese, who had a black line on his head, decided to ignore his senior's address at the end of the sentence and began to explain his problem.

"Today, I crossed Longji Mountain."

With one sentence, An Lina, who had been chattering before, instantly became quiet. The expression on her face also became serious and serious. In fact, when this girl is serious, the calm feeling on her body makes it difficult to reconcile with her appearance.

connect together.

"The Frost people entertained me. Moreover, I found this in their town." Cheese said, stretching out his left hand, and a green light ball the size of a thumb began to condense on his palm.

"This trace of magic... is a plague. A magical plague." Alina said after staring at the light ball for a few seconds.

Cheese nodded, closed his palms, and the ball of light dissipated.

"Can you tell what kind of plague it is?"

Alina frowned, thought for a while, and said.

"No, I can't determine the type of plague based on magic traces alone. At least, give me a living case that is confirmed to be infected."

"Really... Then, can we roughly deduce its infection route?"

The golden girl thought again and shook her head.

"No, there is a big difference between magic plague and ordinary plague. Some magic plagues can even spread through language. Without samples, it is difficult for me to draw any conclusions."

Cheese also frowned.

"Is that so? Even you who specializes in disease can't do anything about it?"

"Unfortunately, this is the fact. It seems that your trial has already begun." Alina said with a smile.

"Living sample? I understand." Cheese lowered his head and thought for a moment before saying.

At this moment, Ah Fu's figure came in from outside the house.

"Master Cheese, Miss Anlina, good night. Master, the laboratory you arranged is ready. Do you want to use it now?" the inhuman butler said.

"No need for now, seal it for me. I'm afraid it won't be used until two days later." Cheese replied, standing up at the same time.

"Sister, I won't bother you anymore. It will be very troublesome if the villagers find out that I'm missing."

"Okay, okay, little cheese has grown up, and I don't have time to spend time with my senior sister. Fortunately, I still have books here to read." Alina puffed her lips, reopened the book on the table, and stood on the table with all her strength.

superior.

For this senior, Cheese could only smile bitterly. After all, although the relationship between the two was theoretically classmates, to Cheese, this senior was more like a mother.

"Okay, I will solve this adult task as soon as possible. I will also bring back special products for senior sister." Cheese said.

Alina just snorted lightly and didn't say anything. Her dissatisfaction was palpable. In this regard, Cheese had no choice but to shrug and left Alina's room with Afu. The master and servant quickly returned to the room.

In the room where the cheese was transferred at the beginning, on the obsidian base in the center of the room, the portal leading to the top of Dragon's Spine opened silently.

Cheese thought for a moment, picked up a new gray robe from Ah Fu's hand, and casually put it on his body.

"Master, although I shouldn't say it." Ah Fu suddenly spoke, causing Cheese to stop stepping into the portal.

"But I think you should spend more time with Miss Alina. She will only be more emotional when she is with you."

Listening to the butler's words, a wry smile appeared on the corners of cheese's lips again.

"Emotional indifference is actually the norm for seniors. After all, she is a high-level vampire. Loneliness and indifference have almost been engraved in her bones. It is abnormal for her to be as enthusiastic as she is now, isn't it?

"

"Yes, my subordinate is talking too much." Ah Fu lowered his head and said, if the blue substance sticking out of his collar is really his head.

"Forget it...you are right. I will go back first. If there is news about the teacher, you know how to notify me." Cheese said, stepping into the portal. As he entered, this

The cracks in the fan space gradually healed, until they finally disappeared. The few lights in the dim room were also turned off due to the disappearance of its user, and it fell into pure darkness.

Re-entering the room in the tavern at the top of Dragon's Backbone, Cheese looked out the window at the still dark sky, stretched out, and lightly snapped his fingers, and the runes attached to the doors and windows dissipated like floating dust, and then

No one can tell that a portal has just opened here.
