The Misty Forest is connected to the Wasteland, the former more like an extension of the latter into the interior, separating the Kingdom of the Astral from the Kingdom of Yar.

This makes it as if the kingdom of Yar is surrounded by mountains on three sides.

It is shrouded in fog all year round, and it is impossible to distinguish the direction, and those who strayed here can only go out when the fog clears.

It is precisely because of the existence of this forest that the distance between the Yar Kingdom and the Star Spirit Kingdom has greatly increased, and if it weren't for the fact that there are few special items produced in other regions in the Yar Kingdom, the merchants may have abandoned this place long ago.

Dinah didn't know how long she had been in the forest, and after talking to Carey, she was a little big.

Originally, she just wanted to avoid the town, but she accidentally entered the misty forest, took another look at the mountain mouse that she had finally caught, and said to herself: "I finally don't have to be hungry today." ”

"I just don't know when the fog here will clear. ”

Most of the Misty Forest is low-lying swamps, and when Dinah learns that she has entered the Misty Forest, she finds this fairly clean resting place and no longer wanders around.

Otherwise, you will have to spend the night in the trees.

Set up a "small pot" full of water, rubbed her fingers, the flame rose and ignited the dead wood, and seeing the water being boiled, she put mushroom-like plants into the water, of course, and the meat of the mountain rat, and after a while, the pot made of the husks of unknown plants was stuffed.

Dinah just waited quietly, leaving Eternal Light City and re-embarking on a journey alone, although it had only been a few days, she already missed those few days of leisure.

"I don't know what happened to Ari, after helping himself escape, he should also be punished by the elders. ”

Dinah's thoughts drifted slowly through the quiet environment, and she didn't come back to her senses until the cauldron boiled again, emitting an enticing fragrance.

"I'll let him try it next time, she'll be terrified." ”

"Oh, look what I see, a beautiful young lady, my God, what does this smell like?" an unfamiliar voice interrupted Dinah's eating.

She subconsciously tensed her body, carefully looking at the black figure slowly walking towards her.

When the visitor saw her draw her dagger, he quickly explained: "Oh, beautiful young lady, I have no ill intentions, please don't be nervous. ”

"My name is Pierre Joyce, and I'm from Kumar City in the Star Spirit Country. Pierre took off his hood, and under his black hair was an ordinary passer-by's face, spread his hands and said: "I am also an unfortunate traveler who is lost here, you must know that this delicious pot you made smells so good, I have been eating damn sour fruit for three days!"

Dinah hesitated for a moment, nodded silently, put away the dagger, and acquiesced to Pierre's request.

Seeing that Dinah lifted his guard, Pierre quickly thanked him and sat down opposite Dinah.

Pierre watched Dinah skillfully pick up the food in the pot with two branches, and ate it with great satisfaction, licked his lips, and asked, "Can I taste it?" I have some gold coins on me, I can give it to you. ”

Dinah waved her hand: "You can do as you please, there are many more here, I can't eat them alone." ”

She pointed to the ingredients that were processed next to her and couldn't fit in the pot.

"Thank you so much, beautiful young lady, your kindness will be rewarded. ”

He got up again and found two branches that were suitable, washed them, picked up a piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth, and let out a sigh of surprise, and once again praised Dinah for her hospitality.

However, when he picked up a piece of mushroom that still had sawdust on it and did not dispose of the roots, he was silent for a while, and then bit off the upper part and threw away the lower roots.

"Kind and beautiful young lady, take the liberty of asking, where do you want to go?" Pierre was silent for a moment, breaking the silence.

"Go to Star Spirit King City. ”

"Oh, what a coincidence, did you enter the Misty Forest to save time?"

"You can think so, but I'll probably have to wait for the fog to clear before I can get out. Dinah reinserted some of the meat that had been eaten and propped her chin on, staring at the flames in silence.

"Oh, yes, then in return for your kindness, I'm willing to help you get out of this oppressive forest. ”

"Uh, yes, can you get rid of the fog?"

"Hehe, of course not, I don't have the ability to be a god like the high priest in the legend, but before I came in, I placed a seven-colored stone that will guide you out of here. ”

As he spoke, he took out a pebble with seven colors shining on its surface.

Dinah looked at the stone in his hand with interest, it was not the same as an ordinary stone except for the seven-colored light on the surface.

"What is this?" Dinah added, taking it, "how is it going to guide me?"

"Come, I'll show you......" Pierre took out a seven-colored stone again, and when he walked in the direction he came, the colorful light on the surface of the seven-colored stone began to turn green, but when he walked in the opposite direction, it began to turn red again, and when he walked horizontally, it would change to yellow or blue, which was very obvious.

"I kept a seven-colored stone in a manor outside before I re-entered the Misty Forest, so no matter how far away I was, I could find my way home. ”

"Hmm...... It's magical, thank you for the gift, I love it. Dinah shook her ears over her head and smiled.

"It's my honor, you must be the fox alchemist of Kars, right? The Star Spirit Kingdom has always been grateful to Kars, but even the Queen can't completely change the concept of other countries towards Kars. ”

Dinah looked at the other again, but nodded indifferently.

"And where are you going?"

"I ...... Hehe, I'm looking for a defector, I heard that the alchemist of the fox clan can see through the source text, you must know that I am a stranger, right?"

Dinah nodded nondeniably, then added, "It's weak, though." ”

"You're really honest, I've been talking for so long, I don't know your honorable name......"

"Anna, just call me Anna. Dinah casually gave her name, not careless.

"Miss Anna, did you see a man dressed in a black robe on the way over, but he has no hands, and there should be a large backpack behind his back? ”

"Hmm...... No, I'm sorry. ”

"That's a pity, I came here in search of his smell, it seems that he must have passed through the misty forest and entered the kingdom of Yar......" Pierre's words were more like muttering to herself, so that Dinah could not really hear it.

“...... So what did he do?"

"He killed the members of the Alchemy Society, stole the fruits, and possibly tried to gain greater power. Pierre hesitated for a moment, then bowed again and said, "I'm sorry I can only tell you so much, and of course that's all I know." ”

"Alchemy Society? ”

"Of course, the Alchemy Society is what the Queen has worked hard to save Kars's people from all countries, and she has been doing it since she even sat in the kingdom, and it is her foresight that the Kingdom of the Star Spirit is making great strides......" Pierre's face of adoration almost said to let Dinah join the guild.
