"Teacher, are you sure you want to do this?" Boris looked at the old man in front of him nervously.

The old man held a half-cut stone branch in her hand, looked at it calmly, her white hair was slightly curled, but it was neatly tied behind her head, and she was dressed in a solemn priestly robe, and she sat on the chair of the temple, her eyes shining slightly.

"Yes, child, I'm sure ......" The old man looked at Bo Ruisi with calm eyes, and the girl in front of him looked nervous.

I really can't help but be nervous~ The old man sighed slightly.

"Child, you know, the Star Spirit can't live without the protection of the Sacred Tree."

"I understand," Boreth struggled to hold back her tears, shaking her head, unable to utter a word.

"Boreth, as the priest of the Star Spirit, is ready the day I become it, child, don't worry about me."

"I understand, Master, but you don't have to......" Boreth had a reluctant look on his face.

"Boy, come here." The old man beckoned, and Boris walked over.

Boom!

Bo Ruisi covered his head and looked at the old man in front of him in some astonishment.

The old man withdrew his clasped hand, "Boreth, what is the second precept of the priesthood?" ”

"To ...... It is necessary to use the life of the star spirit as the basic ...... of judgment," Bo Race said cautiously.

"As a priest, do not break the commandments, or your star soul will wander forever in darkness...... Remember? ”

“…… Remember......" Boreth held back his emotions and lowered his head.

Boreth ...... Don't grieve for me...... Do what we should do, and you have to be happy for me. ”

Boris raised his head, but he was already crying, tears streaming down Boris's face, and he looked at the old man in front of him quietly.

"Go, go." The old man touched two tears with his fingers, raised his hand, and asked Bo Ruisi to leave.

Boreth stepped back towards the door, and couldn't help but look back, "You'll be back...... Is that right? ”

The old man narrowed his eyes and smiled, and waved his hand at her. "Go ahead...... Go ahead. ”

——

"Ollie! Ollie! Boreth waded through the water, striding forward vigorously, while Ollie, like a civet, scurried back and forth from the branches of the tall tree.

"Huh?" Ollie tilted his head and jumped towards Boreth.

Burst! plunged into the water.

"Ollie, be honest, we need to get to land quickly." Boris took Ollie in his hand.

The two of them walked towards the mangrove forest, where the water on the ground was neither high nor low, just reaching their calves.

There is a mixture of sand and mud under your feet, and if you step on it, it will always collapse downward.

When I walked into the mangrove forest, the branches were numerous, and the leaves were red and hung all over the branches, and occasionally, I could see a few fruit-like things among the leaves.

It looks good, but there are too many branches to block the view.

Boris instinctively wanted to look directly through the woods and find her way, but she suddenly realized that she was no longer a spirit.

If you want to see the direction clearly, you have to rely on your own eyes.

So, Boris relied on memory to move in one direction.

The obstacles and careless collisions and pains from the body made Bo Ruisi, who had not had a body for a long time, very uncomfortable.

Although she was in a spirit state, she always maintained a proper habit of action.

But after all, too much time has passed.

It still takes some time to get used to, but fortunately, Boreis is quite adaptable.

Soon, she found a rhythm in her walk, and few things could touch her, and she wouldn't accidentally hurt herself.

"Use some magic ......" has lost the support of the sacred tree, and it is a new body, and the magic power is very thin, but the accumulation of a few days can still allow Bo Ruisi to use some of it.

You can't float yourself, but you can still avoid the water around you.

So Ollie looked at the water around him in amazement, stepping on the sand under his feet, walking in the water of the mangrove forest as if he were on land.

"Whew~" Ollie shouted twice at Boris, not knowing whether it was habit or imitation, and began to stand up and walk.

The two walked through the pond, and then they came to a swamp.

Bo Ruisi was slightly stunned after retracting the red branch of a tree, and what appeared in front of him was the place where small puddles and abundant weeds grew.

"Swamp?" Boreth took a light step forward.

There is a feeling of thickness under your feet.

Forcefully, it sank a little.

Ollie ran over......

"Ollie!" Startled Boris.

Seeing Ollie standing there, Bo Ruisi couldn't help but close his eyes and breathe a sigh of relief.

When I opened my eyes again, I could only see that Ollie's two large ears were still on the ground.

"Ollie!"

……

Boris skirted the swamp and carried Ollie forward on a safe path.

"It's dangerous, if it's too late, you'll die......" Boris used his magic to pull Ollie out of the swamp mire.

Ollie snorted twice and licked Borreth's hand.

Looking at the swamp around me, I couldn't help but shudder.

After Bo Ruisi rinsed it, he followed closely behind Bo Ruisi and stopped running around.

"In the swamp, it should be fine to use magic like this." Boris pondered for a moment, spreading the magic power under his feet into a large mass, spreading the weight of his feet into a large area.

Ollie stood there, watching Boreth walk in the direction of the mire—without falling.

"It's alright, Ollie, we can move on." Boris no longer hesitated, and strode towards the dense forest and bushes not far away.

"Gotta find a ship...... You don't want anything to do with you, Vere......" Boreth hurried forward, and Ollie followed.

"In this kind of place...... Where do you find people? Has the sense of the sacred tree and the star spirit also disappeared...... "Boreth knew that it was impossible to build a ship on her own, so she needed to meet some star spirits, or beings who could communicate.

But now she was just an ordinary star spirit, and she couldn't even use the power of the sacred tree except for the knowledge and magic in her mind.

There was no sacred tree around, and the branch of the lighthouse was too far away, and it was too weak.

Therefore, Bo Ruisi can only use the stupidest method to find it slowly.

Soon, the two of them came to the depths of the dense forest, where the muddy swamp was still under their feet, and the trees around them were huge.

When the two of them walked to the bottom of a large tree.

"Grunt~" A belly scream came out of Boris and Ollie's stomachs at the same time.

Boris looked at Ollie and saw that it was already a little sluggish.

I looked around and saw that the ground here was drier.

"That's it, Ollie, let's get some rest." Boris looked at the sky, which was already a little dark.

"Whew~" Ollie cried out a little tiredly, then jumped onto a branch of the tree and lay there, gasping tiredly.

Boreth took something to eat from the air, "I don't know about Vere...... He should have a way to ......"

"Ollie, you eat first." Ao picked up a pie with his front paws and nodded at Boreth.

"I'll go get some fuel first." Eating what he was holding, Boris looked around and walked towards a tree with many branches.

After a while, Boris returned to the tree, released the collected dry fuel on the ground, and then used his magic to gather the power of some of the remaining ruby shards and ignite the fire.

"Ollie! Come here and have a barbecue! She shouted to the tree.

"Ollie?"

No response.

Boris came to the tree. "Ollie? Where did you run again? Ollie?! ”

Feeling that something was wrong, Ollie shouldn't have gone far, frowning slightly, Boris hurriedly walked under the tree.

"Ollie? …… Ollie! What happened to you? As soon as Boreth took two steps forward, he found a white figure lying under a tree, obviously falling.

Boreth rushed up and picked Ollie up.

"Ollie?" Shaking it slightly, it was found that the color of Ollie's eyes and nose was a little dark purple, and his breathing was rapid and weak, which was obviously a sign of poisoning.

Ollie's hind legs had two small holes, and the two blood stains were clear on the white fur. "Viper...... Well?! ”

A flash of magic flashed, and a yellow-spotted viper that rushed down from the tree broke into several pieces, and its head seemed to hit some barrier. fell to the ground.

Boreth turned his head, "Poisonous snake......"

Looking at Ollie in front of him, Boreth felt a little at a loss.

Only magic can be used to force out the residual toxins on Ollie's legs.

"Ollie! You hold on, don't die. Boreth called out anxiously to Ollie.

“…… Wow~......" Ollie reluctantly opened his eyes, his eyes were a little cloudy, and he yelled at Boris, then closed his eyes again, and breathed rapidly.

"Gotta figure it out...... What is there to detoxify...... What can I ......?" Bo Ruisi frowned, thinking anxiously.

Without noticing, damp black smoke rose from the fire behind him.

Boris devoted all his heart and soul to Ollie.

I want to use magic to force out the toxins that have entered Ollie's bloodstream little by little.

In just a few seconds, Boris was already sweating profusely, but he didn't achieve anything.

"At this time, it would be nice if there was the power of the sacred tree, or the spring water of the sacred tree......

Suddenly, a cold spike pressed against his neck.

“#￥%￥@…… ¥" A murmur came from behind him.

Immediately afterward, Bo Ress came back to his senses and noticed the sound of popping footsteps in all directions.

Fish standing up one by one! Boreth's first thought.

No, it's the Fish-People. The fish-men had the head of a fish, but they had a body similar to that of the star spirits, although there were minor differences, such as skin color, skin texture, palms, etc.

But what Boris saw was fish eyes looking at her with scrutinizing eyes, and the rusty harpoons and wooden spears in their hands were also aimed at him.

“￥& amp; #…… ￥#…… ¥" and said a bunch more.

"I don't understand...... Who are you? Bo Race said a word calmly, and she straightened her neck forward, and the steel fork followed, the tip not far from an inch.

"You... It's a star... Spirit...%#@... Over here... Come, ¥%@... What..."

At this moment, behind the many fishmen, there was an intermittent sound.

A scruffy-looking old fishman with a white beard walked out of there on crutches.

The old fish-man tilted his head to the side and looked at Boris and Ollie with his eyes, which had not yet turned white.

"Poison—" the old fishman pointed at Ollie.

Bo Race looked at the old fishman, "Yes, yes, it's poisoned, can you help it?" ”

"@¥@#" The old fishman waved his hand, and the steel fork behind Boris retreated.

"If you can detoxify it, please help it, it will be poisoned." Boreth felt Ollie in his arms grow weaker and weaker.

The old fish-man looked at Ollie and beckoned to a fish-man next to him, who came up and carried him away.

Boreth looked at the old fishman, and the old fishman nodded.

Boris handed Ollie to the fish-man and looked at him, who hurried to the side and poured some strange leaves and juice into Ollie's mouth.

Ollie relented a bit.

"¥%" said the old fishman fluently, and Boris sorted out what he had said.

"We see black smoke, and that little thing is in a bad condition right now." The old fishman said.

"Please save it......"

"It's fine for the time being...... Who are you? ”

"I am the priest of the Star Spirits."

"Priest of the Star Spirit...... It's been a long time since I've been here. ”

"Old man, please help it...... Please be sure to cure it. ”

"Treatment...... Fish-people know how to heal ...... But you also have to repay the fish-man, the fish-man's resources are getting less and less......" The old fish-man paused his cane, "Come with us......"

Bo Race pondered for a moment, then got up and followed the old fishman.

She glanced back, and a fish-man who looked like a shark stood behind her, holding a steel fork that was supposed to be against her neck.

Looking at the unconscious Ollie, Bo Ruith worriedly followed the group of fishmen.
