Xiao Nan and I finally decided to stay at the Werner Chamber of Commerce for another day before leaving here.

On the one hand, it was already noon when we woke up today, and we didn't have any experience in surviving in the wild, so no matter which way we walked, there was no place to rest, which was not suitable for travel.

On the other hand, the two of us forgot about Tiris's magic contract.

Tilis said that after we deliver the goods, we need to give the magic contract to Phyllis, because only she can break the magic contract, and only then will we be free.

To be honest, at first I didn't want to sign this contract that was suspected of selling myself, not to mention that I couldn't understand this contract, but at that time, it was just because of Tiris's threat, Tilis was afraid that we would run away with the goods on the way, and we also wanted to leave the forest quickly, so we pressed the handprint.

It wasn't until we handed the contract to Phyllis that the reason why we couldn't understand it was because Tilis had over-encrypted it, and Phyllis wanted to break the contract and it would take a night to break it, so we would just leave after a day.

There was still half a day to stay, and Xiao Nan and I took the time to start discussing where we should go next after leaving the Werner Chamber of Commerce.

At first, Xiao Nan's idea was to simply stay in this strange place and embark on an exotic expedition, which was obviously a bit unrealistic.

My idea is to find a way to go home first, otherwise we have no money and no backstage in this place, and we don't even have an identity certificate, and I believe that if it weren't for this small remote place in Rock City, the two of us would have been arrested as black marketeers.

In the end, we decided to find a way to go home first, and then think about the rest of the matter.

In other words, we need to go back to the forest first and find Tiris, who should be able to tell us how to get home.

Alas, if you had remembered to go home, you should have asked in the forest first.

Of course, Xiao Nan and I both know that this is impossible.

At that time, we were still thinking about what happened to us, after all, who would have thought that something as mysterious as 'crossing' or 'getting smaller' could happen to us? Because of this, we can't even ask if we want to.

And the final acceptance of these strange settings is after leaving the forest, which forms an endless cycle where we have to make an extra run if we want to go home.

That night, in order to practice for us, Niu Kelian also made a table of good dishes.

The interior of this hall is as ...... as ever Dilapidated, but compared to the scene I saw yesterday, there was one more square table, and Xiao Nan and Phyllis had already sat down facing each other, chatting there, talking and laughing, and it seemed that the topic was quite interesting.

Hearing the movement on the other side of the stairs, Xiao Nan turned around and waved at me, and Phyllis smiled at me.

As soon as I sat down, Niu Kelian came over with a few plates of dishes.

Niu Kelian said embarrassedly: "I heard that you two don't like to eat meat, so I fried two plates of mushrooms for you, after all, in a ghost place like Yancheng, vegetarian dishes are rare, so you can just take a look." ”

Of course, we don't have any opinions, in this ghost place where insects are the main food, there can be a plate of vegetarian dishes, for me and Xiao Nan, it is already a superb delicacy.

So, there was a very magical scene at the dinner table:

Uncle Hei Niu Kelian cut two soft and translucent slug meat, cut them into small pieces like eating Western food, and little Lori Phyllis held a fist-sized ant and gnawed there, not to mention how fragrant the food was. And Xiao Nan and I ...... It looks 'very elegant', and is eating mushrooms slowly and methodically.

Of course, a large part of this 'slowness' is due to the food they eat, which instantly reduced most of our appetite, and now we are just barely stuffing food into our mouths just to not be hungry for a while.

At the end of the meal, Niu Kelian also brought us a glass of wine the size of the head, the wine was yellow, but it was clear and transparent, the aroma was tangy, sweet and delicious, and after inquiry, I learned that this was mead.

That night, we were so drunk that we were all about parting words.

Although we have only known each other for two days, Niu Kelian is easy-going, although we have known each other for a short time, we have been like old friends who have not seen each other for many years.

Xiao Nan drunkenly grabbed Phyllis's arm and said coquettishly: "Sister Phyllis, I really can't bear you, I really want to stay and play with you, you are so cute." ”

Phyllis smiled, "Then why don't you stay, let's be a companion?" ”

Xiao Nan hesitated for a while, shook his head, and said, "No, we still have to find our way home, and we have to go back to the forest...... However, if we can't go back, then come to you, and Uncle Niu, you can't drive us away when the time comes. ”

Niu Kelian and I looked at each other, women, sometimes it's really magical, and somehow you can establish a deep friendship.

However, Xiao Nan's words reminded me that the purpose of our return to the forest was to find Tilis, and to ask for a way to go home, although the possibility was very small, in case Tilisi didn't know how to send us back, what should we do at that time? In this strange world, two people are companions, although they are not alone, but they are also very lonely.

Perhaps, we will still return to the Werner Chamber of Commerce, but, after all, we just met in the water, why should people take us in? When the time comes, back here, in what capacity should we come back? Are you a friend? Or the Fallen?

Thinking of this, my heart became more and more sad.

The next morning, when we woke up, it was already dark, Niu Kelian got up in the middle of the night, and he needed to go to Shacheng to supplement his daily necessities as usual, so we didn't see him.

The hall was quiet, very quiet, the lights and candles were all out, and it was unusually dim.

Maybe Phyllis hasn't gotten up yet, right? I thought to myself.

I sighed softly and said, "Let's go." ”

Xiao Nan tugged at my sleeve and said, "Kitten, let's leave a note, it's not good to say goodbye without saying goodbye." ”

After a moment's thought, I nodded.

After writing the note, I put it on the bar and turned away with Xiao Nan.

Just as we were about to open the door and leave, Phyllis's voice rang out in the room:

"You two, you're in such a hurry, where are you going?"

As Phyllis's words fell, the lights and candles in the entire room instantly lit up.

We were both startled by the movement, and we turned around and looked in the direction from which the sound had come.

The sudden brightening of the light shook my eyes, and it took me a long time to regain my sight. I saw Phyllis lying on the bar, staring at the two of us with angry eyes.

I obviously felt that something was wrong, but I couldn't say exactly what was wrong...... How do I feel that, after just one night, Phyllis's attitude towards us seems to have deteriorated? I thought about it for a while, and it seemed like we hadn't done anything rude.

I exhaled lightly and smiled, "Miss Phyllis, you got up before dawn, didn't you say it was okay last night?" Early this morning, we set off for the country of flowers, and then we won't bother. ”

I saw Phyllis sneering and shaking her head, and said, "I mean, you two don't leave, stay with me for the rest of your life." ”
