The broth is soaked in dry cakes, a full bowl is still a bit heavy, and after eating it, the body is also warm, and the stomach is almost full, but this kind of delicious, Riva thinks that even if he comes to three more bowls, he can easily eat it.

It's just that so many people share it, even if there are two more pots boiled later, that is, one bowl per person, except for those nobles.

Riva was still clear about his position, and after eating, he just walked cautiously to the fire, returned the bowl, and planned to walk away a few steps.

He had heard that the nobles were a bit of a cleanliness fetish, and they were not happy to sit with the commoners, not to mention that Riva had hardly bathed since the beginning of autumn.

Gao Yinsi looked at this low-level civilian with interest, and when he saw that this guy was about to walk away, he spoke.

"Sit here, you can make a fire. ”

"Okay!"

Riva agreed quickly, and sat down on the ground on one side, but kept some distance from the great nobleman.

Reaching out towards the fire, the warmth made Riva feel very comfortable.

This group of noble lords wasted a little, but the advantage of the fire burning so vigorously is that it is extraordinarily warm here.

On the edge of the Western Wilderness, the autumn style in the mountains and wilderness is cold after nightfall, and even if you sit by the fire, the wind blows from behind.

"What did you just gesture to the stars?"

Hearing Gao Yinsi's questioning, Riva fully showed an attitude of knowing everything.

"I'm comparing the stars, I remember the position of the meteor yesterday clearly, using the Athena Star and the Athena Star to draw a straight line, and then using a few other dark stars that have no names, but are relatively fixed, and I can roughly calculate the position of the star. ”

Hearing the words of His Highness and Riva, the chatter around him also weakened.

Gao Yinsi smiled.

"And can you determine the exact direction in which the stars are falling?"

There are not many opportunities to show off in front of big people, and Riva has some success, after all, he is finally a little better than these people.

patted his chest and said, "That's right, although the place where it landed must be far away, I can't know exactly where it landed, but I know very well the direction in which it fell!"

"As long as you look in this direction, you will always find the stars, when I was a child, I heard my grandfather say that the place where the stars fall is very moving, as long as the direction is accurate, I will definitely be able to find it!

Riva clenched his fists, as if finding the stars was a testament to the meaning of his life.

"By the way, Your Highness, what are you looking for the stars for?"

Riva also learned the name of the people around him to call this man with a powerful aura His Royal Highness, and he felt that this was more noble than the words "noble lord".

"Hehe, maybe I have the intention to prove myself. ”

Gao Yinsi smiled, looked at the stars in the sky, and thought of many things.

"Legend has it that the fall of the stars often represents some kind of great significance, and I have only seen the description of the fall of the stars in the history books of the kingdom, so I am very curious!"

"Just want to take a look?"

Riva asked.

"Then it depends!"

。。。

To the east, about 100 kilometers away from that beautiful valley, smoke billowed from the mountains surrounded by mountains, and a large crater that was more than ten meters wide and even three meters deep was surrounded by smoke.

The surrounding flowers and trees are burning violently, and the mountains and forests are already dry, and the flames of meteors sliding down will cause a fire without accident.

Despite the smoke and flames, a ball of light flowing with a colored halo was silent in the center of the pit, and the light was like breathing, sometimes bright and sometimes dark.

If you have a knowledgeable person and good enough eyesight, you can see that in the halo, there seems to be a square box-like thing, with a border at the bottom and all around, and there are dense and mysterious patterns, but the top seems to be empty, and there is a vague cylindrical object inside.

The surrounding burning flowers and trees have a trace of white vapor steaming while burning, and it will flow towards the center of the big pit.

On this night, in that quiet town in the beautiful valley, some people stood on a high place looking to the east, some people were worried, and some children danced happily.

Sivir frowned, his eyes filled with lingering apprehension, and Nono snuggled up to her, and they stood in their attic looking east.

"Grandma... Why is there a piece of red sky in the distance, isn't the sun already resting?"

Although Sivir still looks beautiful, she is a grandmother after all, so she quickly hides the uneasiness on her face.

She rubbed her grandson's head and said softly.

"That's the forest on fire, it's nothing, the Spirnosi Forest won't allow the burning to continue, the fire will be extinguished soon, okay, it's not too early, go to sleep, Nono!"

"Oh, then I'm going to sleep, grandma!"

"Don't forget to drink the syrup your mom made. ”

"Hmm!"

。。。

The exhausted star-seeking team has been in the mountains for 10 days.

In the past 10 days, even with Riva, a competent guide, even if they have horned helmets, they have brought a lot of provisions, which has made the whole team miserable, especially those noble lords.

Usually pampered one by one, how can I stand this suffering, not to mention the rugged road, and I don't sleep at night.

All kinds of insect bites and the strange screams of nocturnal animals make it impossible for them to sleep peacefully when they are accustomed to the comfort of their homes.

Physical strength is also a problem, although these nobles have learned swordsmanship courses, but these are completely two concepts, even if you can ride a horned helmet beast many times, but the horned helmet beast also needs to rest and stamina is not very good, so there are many places where you have to walk.

The consumption of dozens of people is huge, especially in the mountains and wilderness, which seems to be lush, but the water source is actually not easy to find, especially when it is difficult to distinguish the direction of entering the dense forest.

On the third day, Gao Yinsi did not have the luxury of using water to wash freely, and not only did he do so, but also the other noble youths were not allowed to waste water.

"Click, click..."

Riva panted and climbed a high slope.

"Whew... Call... I recommend... Tonight.. I'm here to rest tonight, I need to look at the stars to make sure we're not going wrong... Call... Whew..."

After saying that, he collapsed on the slope and rested.

A noble young man with a slightly unsightly face clenched his fists, turned over and got down from the horned beast and walked to Riva's side.

Riva felt the shadow cover her head, and subconsciously opened her eyes to look, only to see a dark shadow.

"Woo~~Bang~"

"Ah!!h

Riva curled up and hugged his face and exhaled in pain, his face burning with pain.

"You dare to tease us!? 10 days have you taken us around in circles in the mountains?"

The young man sneered and raised the beast whip in his hand high again, but when he wanted to fall, he found that he couldn't do it.

A burly young man grabbed him by the wrist.

"Van Gonnie, don't stop me, I'm just teaching this a lesson, I won't let him die!!"

Van Gurney looked at the aristocratic young man with a sneer.

"I don't think it's a wise thing to play a guide at this time!

Gao Yinsi sat on the horned helmet, his eyes were also looking at this side, and the whip-wielding youth also flinched when he met Gao Yinsi's gaze, and angrily broke free of his arm and walked away.

During the whole process, except for the painful exhalation at the beginning, Riva just covered his face and said nothing, he instinctively felt that it was not good for him to speak out at this time.

At the end of this short farce, Gao Yinsi looked at the tile without any expression, and then gave the order to camp.

That night, Riva reassured them that they were on the right track.

But Riva couldn't explain why it sometimes seemed as if they had been going around the bend, and everyone had felt that way, even Riva himself often wondered if he had gone wrong, but the guidance of the stars strengthened his faith every time.

He swore again and again that this was only because of the illusion that the complex environment of the mountains and woodlands gave people, and if you really followed the direction that you thought was a straight line, you might be going around a bend.

But in fact, after walking for so long, Riva's heart is becoming more and more bottomless, because before he thought that the setting point of the stars would not be too far away from the city, but now he will not show it even if he has no bottom, anyway, whoever asks him will firmly say that he is absolutely right.

At noon the next day, the situation changed.

The team marched vertically in the forest, the road openers led by Van Gurney and Riva were at the front, and the entire team of dozens of people dragged dozens of meters away, and in this forest they were in a state of not being able to see each other.

But now, those at the front stopped.

Riva looked ahead with his mouth wide open, not knowing what to say, Van Gurney also had a strange expression, and several guards with open knives were no better.

"Quick, let Your Highness come to the front and take a look!!"

"Yes!"

Soon, the nobles and others in the back all came over.

In front of the direction of the whole procession, the forest formed a clear dividing line!

On their side, the ground was covered with fallen leaves, and some of the trees were already bare.

But as far as the eye can see, there is only a meandering stream, and the forest trees are still green, and the vegetation is lush and vibrant, and it does not look like it is late autumn at all.

This would be fine if it was only in a few places, but if you look left and right along the direction of the stream, you can see that all the woodlands on the other side are like this.

"It's... Where is it?"

Gao Yinsi's voiceless murmur is also a question in everyone's minds.
