"Master, master, you are now in the western part of the continent, in the northwest of the Kingdom of Lulances."

"This is the edge of the Bialowieza Forest, which is the largest primeval forest in the Kingdom of Lurancis!"

"Bialowieza means Darkness and Fear in the local language, and the Bialowieza Forest is also known as the Forest of Darkness and Fear!"

It didn't take long for the Magic Mirror to tell William everything it had detected.

"Forest of Darkness and Fear? Why do locals call it that? William was curious!

The Magic Mirror fell silent.

After a while, the magic mirror expanded the detection range, and only then did he get the information that William wanted to know from the language of a peasant woman scaring her disobedient bear child!

"Master, master, the local legend says that in this Bialowieza forest, there are terrifying and huge monsters that feed on humans!"

"And near the center of the forest, I also found two large and small foot prints, the small foot prints are more than twice the area of normal adult man's foot prints!"

"Oh, did you find anything?" William raised an eyebrow.

"Master, no! I've explored the entire forest, and I haven't found any monsters that are legendary by the locals, just normal beasts! It's just that the number of beasts is a bit small! The Magic Mirror said truthfully.

"No?" William frowned, thought for a moment, waved his hand, and said, "Forget it, take me to meet the locals first!" ”

"Look where the Kalachakra hourglass is taking me this time!"

"Yes, master!" The Magic Mirror showed William the way through the forest.

In the dark, William walked unhurriedly.

And in the depths of the unknown Bialowieza forest, a huge eye was shining with doubt.

"Godfather, what are you doing?" A childish voice rang out.

"Quiet, kid! Do you remember what I taught you? When hunting? The old man's deep voice rang out.

"Know! The most important thing you said is patience! ”

"Yes, Anderson, we need to be patient now!"

"But we're not hunting now!" The childish voice was full of incomprehension!

"That's because a new hunter has come into our hunting grounds, kid!"

"New hunters? Godfather, shall we give him a little color to see? Let him know whose territory this is! "There is eagerness in the childish voice!

"Huh...... Of course, Anderson! But don't worry, you forgot again, what I taught you, be patient! ”

"Oh, yes, Godfather!"

A faint red light flashed, and it was a rough furry giant palm gently caressing a strange stone pillar!

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

More than half a month later.

Morning!

In the village of Albero, not far from the Bialowieza forest, William walked out of the village's only tavern-hostel and strolled leisurely in the warm sunshine, like a lazy gentleman feeling the true meaning of life, if you ignore the excrement and the strange smell of fermentation that pervades the village.

From time to time, freeman farmers with farm tools walked by William.

"Sue, I'm looking for you! Old rule, let's go to Daddy Meyer's tavern for a drink today! A voice with an earnest tone sounded not far behind William.

The owner of the voice was calling him.

Sue is the new vest William has given himself, a wandering hunter who wants to rest and regain his energy in the village of Albero.

William turned around casually, and a skinny man with a beard and a messy mess of hair stood not far in front of him.

There was a sour smell from not bathing often, and even from a distance, William could smell a rotten egg smell from the breath that came out of his mouth during the time he was breathing.

William frowned and stepped back without a trace, dodging the biochemical attack of the lanky man.

The skinny man's name is Sonny, the second son of a poor farmer in a local village.

After the death of the farmer, most of the property and land were inherited by the eldest son, and Sonny, as the second son, had to come out to earn a living on his own.

But he is lazy and unwilling to work hard, sometimes he helps people do some casual work to earn a few bites of food, and sometimes he does some things like stealing chickens and touching dogs.

After a long time, he was not treated well by the people in the village.

But he didn't care, and he kept going his own way!

But he has one advantage, only money is lifted!

The magic mirror found him for William, and William spent a few small bucks to make him respectful and obedient, and became William's guide here.

I saw him smile flatteringly at William, "Sue, Lines has just returned from Stone Town, and as long as someone invites him to a dark beer, then he will be happy to share all kinds of weird stories he heard in Stone Town!" ”

"Sue, isn't that what you've always liked?"

William wanted to see if he could find some clues to fairy tales from these strange tales that were circulating.

So as soon as he heard what Sonny said, William's heart moved, and he was about to open his mouth, when he saw a farmer with a bitter face, his head down, and bent over, passing by Sonny, and accidentally bumped into him.

The bitter gourd-faced farmer felt that something was wrong, looked up, saw Sonny, froze for a moment, and then apologized to Sonny embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, please forgive ......"

Sonny didn't react at first, but when he saw that it was a bitter gourd-faced farmer, his eyes rolled, and his expression became open, "It's useless to apologize, I'm injured and need compensation!" ”

"Reparations? But you don't ...... anything."

"You're not me, how do you know I'm okay? If you don't let me beat me up, I'll apologize to you!" Sonny is fierce.

It's rare for him to have this kind of rip-off!

"This ......," the bitter gourd-faced farmer sighed and said, "How much is the compensation?" ”

"Not much! A silver cole! Sonny said triumphantly.

"This ......" The bitter gourd-faced farmer's eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at Sonny.

Sonny suddenly became vicious and said, "Old fellow, if you don't give it to me, I'll make you pay!" ”

"That's enough, Sonny!" William couldn't stand it anymore and stopped.

Sonny suddenly didn't dare to speak, after all, William tamed him, in addition to money, there was also punch!

He didn't dare to go against William's wishes, so he had to glare at the bitter gourd-faced farmer, and then scolded in a low voice, "Good luck for you!" You old fellow who gave birth to offspring of bugs! ”

The bitter-faced farmer glanced gratefully at William, a foreigner, and then walked briskly to his field.

Sonny reverted to his flattering appearance, turned his head, and smiled at William, "Sue, let's go quickly, it's too late, and Lines doesn't want to talk about it!" ”

William didn't move, but looked at the bitter gourd-faced farmer who left in a hurry, and said thoughtfully, "Sonny, you just said that he gave birth to offspring of worms?" ”

"Oh, you mean old Barry!" Sonny gave William a strange look, and then said indifferently, "Sue, how can a man give birth to offspring of worms?" It's just that the situation of the old Barry's son is really weird! ”

"The child born by his wife is only the size of an ordinary person's thumb! It's been like this when I was born, and it's been a thumb for several years! Sue, isn't it strange that you said this situation! ”

"Everyone in the village is saying that this is the Lord of Light punishing the old Barry family for their unpiety!"

"Really?" William's eyes flashed with a hint of brilliance, a guy with a big thumb, this is a lot of fairy tales.

Found you! The corners of William's mouth rose slightly!
