那个魔鬼也不能一下子对一镇子人下手啊！他们可没有和他做交易。”爱尔莎疑惑的说。
“这就要说为什么魔鬼要找上班德先生了。或许对于我们人类来说，所谓的官职，阶级只是一种划分地位的方法，它只是一种称呼方式。但是对于魔鬼而言，文字就是力量，职位就是权限。因为镇长做了这笔交易，所以整个甜水镇的人在这桩交易里都没得选择。我想这笔交易的契约里应该也强调过班德先生的镇长职位。只不过他只是把那当成了敬语，没有注意到罢了。”法师解释道。
“这是有可能的吗？”其余的人都低声惊呼道，在他们看来因为这种事简直比魔鬼本身还要难以理解。
“当然可能，历史上魔鬼一直喜欢对那些富有地位的人下手，被蛊惑的国王把整个王国都赔进去的例子简直多到数不胜数。”起司淡然的解释道。虽然其他人还不太明白，但是法师已经知道这个魔鬼的伎俩了。
“接下来就是那所谓的十年人生，看来它的解释并不等于十年的寿命，而是就是它字面的意思，那个魔鬼拿走了你们十年的生活，对吧？”
“是的，那个骗子从我们这里偷走了十年！”班德镇长低吼道，他的眼中隐隐闪着泪光。
起司点了点头，对众人解释了起来。
“众所周知，我们的人生是由对过去的记忆堆叠而成的，我们经历过的每一天，每一年，每一秒，这些流逝走了的时间才让我们成为了现在的自己。所以人的生命就像是一座不停向上搭建的塔，随着我们经历的越多，塔的高度就越高。而我们的灵魂就像是建造塔的材料，每个人灵魂的强弱不一，所以材料的多少也不同，故而每人的寿命都不一样。”起司说道这里顿了顿。
“当然了，建造塔的方法也会影响塔的高度，高明的建筑师可以用同样的材料搭建出更高的塔，但那不是我要说的事情。我要说的是，一般意义上我们指失去寿命，指的是还没有成为塔的一部分那些材料，魔鬼从那些原料里拿走十年的份量，我们的寿命也就减少了十年。可是，既然那个家伙付出了四个孩子的灵魂这么大的代价也要来欺骗镇长，他就不可能只是想要几百个人的十年原料。他要的十年只有一种可能——他要已经变成塔本身一部分的十年。也就是说，他拿走了每一个镇民十年的记忆。”起司说道。
