"Try it on your back." Next to the woodland, tall evergreen trees are thick and sturdy.

With a backpack in his hand, Ver was trying to persuade Ollie to put it on his back.

"Whew~ This backpack is too big for Ollie to carry. Whew~" Ollie looked at the backpack with his own body and waved his hand.

"Give it a try, it's fine." Without saying anything, Vere put the backpack on Ollie's back, "If you can use it, we'll be able to fit a lot of wood." You'll have an easier time doing it, too. ”

With loose backpack straps in both hands, Ollie awkwardly lifted the backpack upwards.

"Don't you need it?"

"I definitely don't need it~" Ollie let go, and the strap of his backpack was on his shoulder.

"Huh?" "Huh? ~"The backpack is shrinking and gradually becoming a small bag suitable for Ollie.

"Tut-tut...... Sure enough, it's good. "Wiel found another use for what he had made.

Ollie twisted his body, "Whew~ this backpack...... It seems to be not bad. Whew~"

Picking up the axe on the ground, Ollie seemed to have found something, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, the axe given by Veel disappeared in his hand.

Appear-disappear-appear-disappear-appear.

Ollie had a lot of fun.

"Ollie, Ollie!"

"Ah, yes, sir!" When the axe fell, it fell to the ground.

Vere straightened up, "Stop playing, let's get to work." ”

Ollie picked up his axe and slashed at the tree.

…………

"Click!"

Boreth broke the rotten wooden plank that blocked the doorway to the house.

"Where have all the star spirits in this town gone?" Boris walked in and found it to be a tavern-like place.

Footsteps clattered on the ground, and the planks on the ground cocked, revealing the stones underneath.

In the middle of this room, two rows of wine racks and the stone platform in front of it form a circle.

There are a lot of bottles on the shelves, which are separated by clear glass, and many of them are broken and broken.

On the ground in front of the stage, there were many glass shards.

"And crystals are magical...... Very good. ”

Boris went to the bar, and she noticed that many of the wooden things in the room looked like they had been broken.

"All the wood that could be removed was taken away......

Arriving at the front of the wine cabinet, Boreth looked at the bottles that were still in good condition. Take down a bottle of wine from above,

"Wine ...... Who can you drink with? Where have people gone? Why is there no trace left? ”

Bang knock! Voices came from the back of the room.

"Who?!" Bo Ruisi raised the ball of light in his hand and walked inside.

…………

"Karma——! The tree fell to the ground.

Veel exhaled a cloudy breath and rubbed the muscles of his left arm. "Why are you so tired from cutting trees?"

"Wow~ It's already good, sir!" Ollie's ears were also wet with sweat. "This not-so-forbidden axe is amazing. Whew~"

"It's a pity that there are no vines here, and it looks like we'll have to go somewhere else to get them."

The two of them had cleared a large clearing in the woods, and the stumps were scattered on the ground.

The tired figure of chopping trees sat on a large stake.

"Ollie~ I'm curious...... Are you a fox? With the handle of the axe, Weir looked into Ollie's ear with his chin padd. His eyes were fixed on the hat on Ollie's head, and even though the hair on his ears was wet with sweat, the hat was still as clean as new.

"yes, but Ollie is more of a seaman~huh." Ollie admitted calmly, "It's a fox and a seaman, a seafarer who doesn't have a ship and can only cut trees~"

"In a few days, we have built a ship, where are we going? Aimless sailing? ”

"Wow~ If you can have a chart, you won't know where to sail!"

"Nautical chart, no~" Weier spread out one hand and said helplessly.

"Look here, this town, the vicissitudes of life, things are not people. Even if there were charts, they would have changed a long time ago. ”

"Hmm~ There are other ways! ~If you have a telescope and a needle, Ollie will be able to redraw a chart! ”

"Telescope, compass...... I have it! As if by magic, Ver took out a systematically made compass from his pocket.

Gold nuggets, flint, easy to obtain, well-made.

"Whew~! Great, with this thing Ollie will be able to tell the way at sea! "I tried left and right, and Ollie jumped for joy." Telescope? ”

Weir shrugged, the bottle wasn't here.

"Don't worry, there will be." With a slurp, Vere stood up. "Now, Ollie, let's solve the ship's material problem first, and continue to cut down trees!"

"Whew!"

……

Boris entered the inner room, which was where the bar cooked—the kitchen.

In the room, a lot of dusty utensils were piled up, the floor was messy, and food scraps and excrement were mixed together.

"Anyone? Hmm~"

A faint sour smell of decay made Bo Ruisi cover his mouth and nose, and in the stove, charred charcoal black hung all over the walls of the stove.

"The smell, there's a sign of struggle here......" The floor was covered with dust, but Boris still found traces of the wine rack that had been submerged outside the room.

A rat ran over the side of the table, burrowed into the corner, and knocked over the object on the table.

"Huh?! Was it a rat just now...... This is? ”

Looking in the direction of the mouse, Bo Ruisi was stunned, and on the smooth stone wall, there were obvious carbon black notes.

Stepping over the obstacles on the ground, I came to the wall, where some of the notes had fallen off with it. "Someone wrote something here. Hmmm......"

"He's gone already... It's been a month, and we're in ...... Land...... When he comes back to pick us up, we are sure that he will succeed in finding the new sacred tree, if ...... He was able to find that place. ”

"The elder decided to put the chart in the tower, the light of the barrier is a little dim, and the sacred tree seems to be getting smaller, is it our hallucination?"

"Tortured by that shadow, he went crazy, and Lurijia said he saw his brother! That's impossible! ……”

"Fish, I'm going to stock up on more fish, and my grandmother doesn't eat anything else...... She wanted to go to the Tower and see ...... While the enchantment is still there, let's take her there secretly......"

Boreth moved the light closer, "The handwriting is getting more and more distorted. ”

“…… No one knows magic, no, what if they can? There are monsters in the tower, and grandmothers are monsters...... The charts were snatched,"

"I'm so scared, I can't let the flames go out, go outside to find food, can the torch in my hand support it back?" The handwriting appears messy

"He didn't come back! I'm the only one left...... There were always strange noises at night, and I didn't dare to go out. I've got to seal the door, hopefully it won't notice it. ”

"There is nothing left to eat, what should I do? …… That dark shadow, that dark shadow hovered around. ”

"It's coming!"

The handwriting is gone.

"The people of the town... There are no corpses" Boris looked around again, all the handwriting had already been seen. "Monster...... Traces, and more! ”

Just as he was about to turn away, suddenly, Bo Race realized something, and his steps froze.

——————

"Ollie! Let me tell you something. Will looked at the tower in the distance.

"Huh~ What's the matter?" Picking up a pine mushroom from the ground, "It's delicious!" ~”

"Can you find a rabbit?"

"Rabbits? Wow~ Yes. Ollie sniffed with a shrug, "It's not far away." ”

"What is this? Wow ~ grass basket? ”

"It's a trap—" Will said, picking up a stack of straw hat traps, "lead the way!" Catch a rabbit and add dinner tonight. ”

"Whew! ~"Using all fours, Wiel felt as if Ollie had turned back into a fox.

Two figures disappeared in the woods.

When evening came, Wille came out of the woods carrying a large basket.

Ollie followed, looking excited.

Placing the rabbit on the ground, Vere sat down on the stump.

"Whew! ~ Sir, you've caught so much! Whew~"

"Who am I! Ha ha. "It looks like he's completely forgotten how embarrassed he was when he caught a rabbit

As he spoke, a voice came from behind him.

"Boreth." Vere looked back and heard Boris coming from a distance, looking panicked.

"I found it!"

"What?" Alerted, Wer dropped his axe and pulled his spear from his back.

"Did you find the monster? Where is it? Run over here! ”

"No, it's not a monster, it's not a monster...... "Boris laughed and ran closer, and tears flowed out.

"What's going on?" Vere raised his spear and froze.

"I, I found, found the whereabouts of the Star Spirit, I found it, found the whereabouts of the Star Spirit." Choked sound staccato sounds.

"You, what did you say?" Will didn't react.

"Star Spirit! Weel, the stars aren't all gone! The Star Spirits have gone out of this island, and I have found their whereabouts! Boreth took Wiel's hand, and the force made Vere feel a slight pain.

"It hurts, it hurts~, don't get excited, let go first, have you found the star spirit?" Where is it? ”

"No, it's not that I've found the Star Spirit, but I've found the whereabouts of the Star Spirit." Boris took out a crystal from his bosom, and there seemed to be blood stains standing on it. "Look. Here's what I found from there. ”

"What is this?"

"This is a chart. A chart of the stars going to sea! ”

Ollie and Wille looked at each other, "After so much time, even if there were charts, I am afraid they would have been useless for a long time." ”

"No, it hasn't been long."

"How do you know?"

It's taste! Bo Ruisi was just about to search for the traces, when he suddenly realized that he smelled the smell of corruption. If it had been a long time, the smell would have dissipated a long time ago.

But Boris smelled a pungent smell.

"That's it! The pungent smell will not be long! Ollie! That chart works! With charts, we'll be able to find the Star Spirits! ”

Wille couldn't help but think of the glass bottle he had encountered on the beach, the sound of the note inside.

"Ah~ Wait a minute, Boreth, I remembered something-"

“…… We'll try it, we'll try it, we'll look for it, and even if something happens to that person, we can continue to look for what he's looking for. Boreth heard Will's message, hesitated, and spoke to Will.

Wiping the tears from the corners of Bo Rice's eyes, "Even if you don't say it, I'll do it." ”

Turning towards Ollie, he chuckled.

"By the way, Boreth, I think I know how to build a ship."
