62. Belated dinner
Paisi bird, commonly known as messenger bird.
It is a "gifted creature" bird with a white body, different species, a length ranging from 10 cm to 50 cm, and a strong weight-bearing capacity.
Its talent is to keep flying straight for a period of time, and will actively enter the acceleration state, and its acceleration magic is unmatched by most creatures.
The premise is that the sender must cast a spell on the Paisi Bird and inject sufficient mana.
On top of that, if given a magic bonus to speed, Paisi can fly faster.
Another of its talents is the magic field that perceives the target from a long distance, no matter how weak the force field is, Pais Bird can cross three or four countries on the Miles continent to reach the target.
Therefore, the trained Paisi Bird is the right-hand man of the Maine Continental.
It's a pity that the village chief, Grichald, can't send the letter at this moment.
He sat alone on the carpet in the tent, sighing. From time to time, the smell of the village girls wafting outside the house, cooking for everyone, and the village chief, whose stomach growled, could not be dragged out of his sorrow.
When the villagers evacuated, they helped him bring a cage from his home where the two Paisi birds were still kept.
Even so, the village chief did not inject any magic into them, and could only rely on half a day's flight time to reach the royal capital.
I don't know if the king has received the letter he wroteβhe was careless, temporarily lost his magic power, and failed to live up to the king's hopes, this old bone can no longer hold the village of Liv, and the important mines.
At this moment, outside the tent, a white Paisi bird swept across the night sky and landed on the top of the village chief's tent.
Twittering.
The village chief heard its noise, and the fluttering of its little paws on the canopy cloth.
"Huh?" He immediately got up, ready to go out and see, Paisi Bird would not open the curtain and come in.
Immediately after another landing, a new Paisi bird landed at the top of the tent, and seemed to have become very unusually mobile because of the discovery of its companion.
The village chief stepped out of the tent, and the two Paisi birds immediately sniffed his magic breath and jumped into his hands.
"The letter of the royal capital... and, letters from the army..."The village chief took the two Paisi birds back to his tent and looked carefully at the two rolls of paper tied to their feet.
On the seal of one roll of paper, the dried red wax is stamped with the royal coat of arms, and the other is stamped with the stamp of the army.
The two Paisi birds come from different places.
The village chief took the letter, and Paisi did not slip away immediately, but followed him all the time, even though he had been fed with the reward.
When the sender has a new delivery task, give the recipient's saliva to the Paisi Bird to sniff, and the Paisi Bird will fly away and go to the new recipient.
Saliva, sweat, tears... All of them have their own special magical breaths and force fields, but saliva is easy to obtain and sealed in a bottle the size of a little finger.
In order of important priority, the village chief unfolded the letter distributed by the royal capital and read it...
Gradually, he trembled his fingers a few times with anxiety. The letter demanded that as one of the main forces of the royal capital, Grayveld must guard the village and mines of Liv, and not show his fear to other countries because of the invasion of goblins...
Evacuation of the village is clearly contrary to the letter intended.
This is a reply to the letter sent by the village chief before, reporting the news of the goblin haunt, he has not lost his magic at that time, and the king also intends to inspire... But now the situation has changed considerably, and the village chief is having a hard time, and it seems that the request for voluntary evacuation according to the situation has not yet reached the king.
Without His Majesty's reply to that letter, the village chief led the villagers out of the mine without authorization, which was undoubtedly disobeying the king's order, and the villagers, including the villagers, would be guilty...
But now, life is the priority, the village chief has a firm look, and plans to wait for someone to investigate the outside of the mine and confirm the safety, then lead everyone to leave, even if it is disobeyed.
Then, he indifferently unfolded another volume of letters, estimating that most of them were the news of the army's departure from the royal capital, and he didn't have much hope...
β... Arrived in the Southern Woods!? After a quick read, the village chief exclaimed.
The commander named Rodney Nolan in the letter said that the cavalry he led had reached the woods south of the village.
And it arrived at the time of mail.
Thinking about the distance between the southern woods and the village of Liv, the village chief stroked his white beard, realizing that the cavalry team might arrive the next afternoon... How could the march be so fast?
And the commander's name is Rodney, although he has not seen him in person, but what happened three months ago is still known to the whole country - Rodney, the swordsman of Andor who appeared out of nowhere, rescued the eldest princess from the army of the eldest princess attacked by the evil dragon Douglas, and won the king's reward in one fell swoop, as well as the reverence of all the people of the royal capital.
The Douglas dragon is a rare dragon species, good at breathing fire, terrifying in power, and the village chief thinks that he would be afraid of it in his heyday.
It is rumored that when Rodney killed the evil dragon and rescued the eldest princess, there was not a single wound on his body, and even the silver armor and clothes were intact and not dirty.
Undoubtedly, this has given the village chief a shot in the arm.
He burned the letter and prepared to gather the villagers after the meal to discuss the plan for the battle in Liv Village.

Xia Zuo is in the tent.
At this moment, Rebecca brought two large wooden bowls of porridge, which were cooked by the girls of the village in the cauldron outside the tent, and Rebecca also participated.
"I'm sorry, Your Excellency... I was supposed to prepare dinner at home for you, lamb chops, fresh milk and broth, all more delicious, but unfortunately I was in a hurry and couldn't let you enjoy it..."
"Sounds good, but it can't be helped," Xia Zuo got up, took the wooden bowl, and the aroma spread out in front of him, and found that there was wheat porridge cooked with potatoes, carrots and meat pieces, and the color made people appetizing, "Oh~ When I first heard that there was porridge to eat, I was used to thinking it was porridge..."
Xia Zuo stirred with a wooden spoon and quickly ate the next bite while blowing hot air.
"Hmm~ It's so fragrant, Rebecca's craftsmanship is so good."
"It's all done together... Hey. β
Seeing that Xia didn't raise his left head, and still held the spoon and gave his thumb up, Rebecca shyly walked away and served the other bowl to Kerry.
"Father..."
"I'm sorry for you."
Kerry didn't hesitate to take it.
"Can you still eat? I just ate all the pills...", she looked worried.
"Ah~ I've never been so hungry, and after those illnesses are gone, I feel like I can swallow a cow!" Kerry said with a smile in his spirits.
Rebecca went out to bring her share, and sat down with the two in the tent to enjoy the belated dinner.
Kerry eats very devotedly, because when he was sick, he lost a lot of taste function, and he has not allowed his tongue to touch delicious food for many years.
Xia Zuo also ate very devotedly, thinking, such a large piece of meat, pickled and boiled potatoes and carrots, unknown spices, and the wheat of the Maien Continent that tasted much more special than rice... In the original world, how many bowls of preserved egg and lean porridge can be worth the price?
Therefore, the two of them were silent, and only the sound of spoons and bowls clashing.
Rebecca, who was sitting on the ground, moved uncomfortably to Xia Zuo's side a few times, wanting to talk, but she didn't know what to say for the time being.
β... Your Excellency Xia Zuo is really amazing~" The eyes that originally looked at Xia Zuo turned to the other side.
"Huh?"
"That's the one... Listen to Ora and say that you defeated the very tall and cruel goblins... That goblin even injured Uncle Holf, and Mr. Village Chief couldn't get rid of it..."Rebecca said in an unnatural tone, as if she was a little nervous.
"Oh, that... In fact, there is also a bit of suspense," Xia Zuo sighed, and then took a few bites, "If the old village chief is willing to recite me a few more spells, the battle in the village will not be so suspenseful." β
