Chapter 56: The White-tailed Sea Eagle
Thirty miles away from Raventown.
The dense coniferous forests obscured the sky and the cold wind howled, and no animal calls could be heard.
It took me an hour to get here, and it was a depression with leaves of vegetation that were soft as mud when stepped on, and there were stakes left behind by the felling of trees.
The scent of the earth coming from the ground after the soft leaves were crushed was refreshing, and the indescribable feeling of comfort made me walk through the jungle at a faster pace.
Some vegetation has begun to sprout, a sign of the arrival of spring.
After about half an hour, I walked into the small jungle hinterland, and occasionally I could hear some birds chirping.
Looking up in the canopy of trees, he searched for the source of the birds' calls, and after a few moments, he locked on to a bird's nest.
Standing under the tree and looking up at the big tree that was about thirty meters high, Luo Ning smiled helplessly, when he came, he should call a guy who can climb the tree.
After a little calm, he held the trunk of the tree with both hands and began to climb, the smooth bark and thick trunk caused a lot of trouble.
Luckily, I climbed a lot of trees when I was young, and the difficulty of this tree was not too high, and it took about ten minutes to climb to the canopy position.
I stepped on the trunk of the tree and carefully moved to the top of the canopy, and finally saw the bird's nest, which was about fifty centimeters in diameter and crudely made.
The three chicks in the nest saw the stranger chirping non-stop, and they couldn't tell what kind of bird it was, but looking at the size of the chicks, the adult state of this bird should be not small.
"What about your parents?" Luo Ning sat on a branch that was just able to get stuck on him, wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at the chick and asked.
At this time, the chicks were obviously clumsier than human babies, and they still stretched their necks and chirped.
"I'm not your parent, so I didn't bring worms to you."
Luo Ning felt a bit like a fool at the moment, and actually sat on a tree to communicate with a few birds that were only new, and this was still when he was able to communicate with animals.
I can only wait for the parents of the chicks to come back and explain their intentions, this time is the right time to take the opportunity to catch up on sleep, last night because of the matter of the Black Iron Army, I didn't sleep very well.
Lying on the branch of the tree for a nap, I don't know how long it took, he woke up and sat up when he heard a clearer cry in his ears.
Soon I saw a large adult bird standing in the canopy of another tree, with a vole in its mouth, the size was indeed very large, except for the white tail, the rest of the feathers were similar to sparrows, the characteristics were obvious, it was a white-tailed sea eagle, although I don't know what it was called here.
The white-tailed sea eagle is a large bird of prey, and fish, birds, carrion are their food, and sometimes small mammals such as rabbits are also captured.
Obviously, because of its own existence, the white-tailed sea eagle did not immediately fly to the nest ** to feed its children.
Rubbing his eyes, Luo Ning got up and waved his hand at the white-tailed sea eagle standing on top of the other canopy, clearing his throat in greeting.
"If you can understand what I'm saying, I don't mean anything but want to make a deal with you."
Moments later, the white-tailed sea eagle took off and circled over the top of the large tree where the young man was, giving a hoarse and hostile warning.
"A bipedal monster that can understand the language of birds, now...... Get away from my child or you will pay for what you just did. ”
"Turns out these guys call people bipedal monsters."
Luo Ning didn't know how the white-tailed sea eagle could make itself pay for what he had just done, so he hesitated for a moment, took out a pistol from his arms, pointed it at the branch in the canopy on the other side, and pulled the trigger.
"Bang"
With a loud bang, the branch broke and fell.
At the end of the presentation, the pistol was put away and explained in a very friendly tone.
"If I had malicious will towards you, I could have done this to you just now, or I could have taken your child away, it was enough to prove my sincerity, come down and talk."
The white-tailed sea eagle had already flown to the sky earlier and circled at this time.
Luo Ning smiled bitterly and shouted at the sky at the top of his voice.
"Whether you trust me or not, I have no ill will, I just want you and your companions to run errands and deliver letters for me." He looked down at a few of the starving chicks, walked over and grabbed one and held it up in the air. "If you still have concerns, I can only do something bad and leave your child behind."
Sometimes you have to do it both hard and soft!
After a few moments, the white-tailed sea eagle finally lowered its altitude and circled at the top of the canopy.
"Just sending a letter?"
"Just sending a letter!"
Luo Ning replied firmly.
A moment later, the white-tailed sea eagle landed on a branch not far from the big tree where the nest was located, flapping its wings a few times, and its eyes were full of vigilance.
Ronin put the chicks back into the nest and raised his hands.
"I need you or your companions to deliver a letter for me, and in return I will provide you with an adequate supply of food."
The white-tailed eagle stared for a long time before responding.
"White-tailed sea eagles never worry about food, and if you're genuine, you should consider protecting our habitat, which is almost being cut down by the workers."
Ronin looked around, there were large areas of woodland vacated, apparently the result of logging, he had no interest in protecting the environment, but now he had to get these guys to deliver the letter, then he had to agree to this condition that sounded a little too idealistic.
Anyway, I have to let these guys deliver the letter and join the Parrot Flying Courier Company.
"No problem, deal." Luo Ning gave a thumbs up and looked at the white-tailed sea eagle hovering high in the sky. "Should you fall down, my cervical spondylosis is almost cured by you."
The white-tailed sea eagle landed and stood at a relatively safe distance, staring.
Luo Ning elaborated on his address.
"I'll put a flag on the top of the house to make it more recognizable, and you'd better come tonight and bring as many companions as you can."
Leaving the taiga, I rode a horse rented from a car dealership and returned to the headquarters of Parrot Flying Courier in Raventown an hour later.
It was nearly evening, and it was dark.
Inside, Ryan Kent was adding addresses to the envelopes he had picked up during the day, and then releasing the last parrot.
When he saw the young man returning, he immediately came up and respectfully took off his hat and saluted.
Ryan Kent has changed a lot these days, his clothes are clean, like a gentleman, and his gold-rimmed top hat is very neatly decorated.
Luo Ning looked down at his outfit and felt that it was time to cut a new outfit, but that was after getting down to business.
"Put a flag on the roof of the house and make it stand out."
Ryan Kent looked at the door a little disappointed, turned around and found a rag tied to a stick in the house, and muttered quietly as he went out.
"Where is the messenger you are looking for?"
Ronin stood in the doorway and looked at the sky.
"Soon after."
In the evening, the two went to a nearby shop to have a casual meal and returned to the store.
"Mr. Austin, aren't you going back tonight?"
Ronin shook his head. "Find a hotel, I'll have to stay here for a few days."
Ryan Kent hesitated for a long time, looking at the streets of Raventown, which had completely fallen silent, with a frightened expression and a low voice.
"Raven Town isn't very quiet these days."
Luo Ning was loading the pistol with bullets, and asked casually after a pause.
"What's going on?"
Ryan Kent turned back to the young man, carefully putting his head up.
"Some of the townspeople have become insane these days, and then they die violently during the day, and they die in a miserable state, so few people have been going out after 8 o'clock at night lately."
The townspeople turn into madmen and die violently during the day?
Innocents who are caught up in the world do not die violently during the day, similar to what Franklin said of his companions, and the reason is probably in the local sewers.
After loading the bullets, bringing all the remaining bullets, learning some of the magic of the old power system, as well as the special abilities of the new power system, he should be able to deal with it, and he was very confident.
Walked to the door and tightened his cloak and looked at the sky, he had to wait until the white-tailed sea eagles docked before he could settle the sewers.
After about five minutes, black spots appeared in the sky, the black spots gradually increased, gradually became clearer, those black spots gradually dropped to the height, and after ten minutes, the roof was full of white-tailed sea eagles, and the number was more than a hundred.
Ryan Kent stood inside the room with a frightened expression.
"Is this the messenger you found? These guys are birds of prey, extremely dangerous, and not to be trusted. ”
It doesn't matter if it's trustworthy or not, first alleviate the urgent need, Luo Ning walked out and stood on the street, looking at the white-tailed sea eagles that were almost identical, with an embarrassed expression.
"Who is talking to me during the day?"
A white-tailed sea eagle landed on Ronin's shoulder.
"That's all for now, and more companions will come back when the weather warms up in a few days."
Luo Ning thought for a moment, then reached out and stroked the feathers of the white-tailed sea eagle.
"In the future, I will call you Hemingway, it is easy to tell, now you bring your companions in, just send the letter to the place, and promise your things will be fulfilled after you send the letter."
Back inside, Ronin reached out and gestured to Ryan Kent.
"Write to the birds of prey, and tell them where they should go, don't get it wrong, I have to go out and do something."
Ryan Kent hurriedly stopped the young man.
"Have you forgotten what I told you before, you can't go out at night, you live here, although the environment here is a little simple, but it's safe, you sleep in the bed, I just sleep on the chair."
Luo Ning looked at the young man who cared about him, patted the other party's shoulder, and smiled.
"Have you forgotten who I am, a member of the Order Church, not an ordinary person, and the purpose of this place is to deal with the recent crisis in Raven Town in addition to seeing our business."
After saying this, he found that his ability to lie became more and more proficient, and his face did not blush, but it was all for survival.
Ryan Kent hesitated for a long time before letting go, worried.
"I'll be here waiting for you to come back, after all, you're the first investor to trust me."
After leaving the store and walking a few steps, Luo Ning returned.
"Have you changed your mind?" Ryan Kent, a young man who saw the turnback, was extremely excited.
Ronin waved his hand and glanced at the white-tailed sea eagles who were receiving the letter, and had to make a show for them to reassure them.
"Do you know who the man who cut down the forest thirty miles away? I'll have to talk to them. ”
Ryan Kent thought for a moment.
"That forest also belonged to the Leviathan of Tersu, and he organized lumberjacks to go there to cut trees."
Ronin couldn't tell which one was Hemingway, so he had to promise all the white-tailed sea eagles.
"I'll make the forest quiet again."
Leaving the shop, all the way to an alley on the back street, looking at the sewer well under his feet by the faint moonlight, plugging his nose with a cloak, reaching out to remove the sewer manhole cover, the dark sewer emitted the ethereal sound of water droplets falling into the water, and the stench rushed to the face, and the moonlight reflected in a pool of shallow water in the sewer, with a clear outline.
Taking a deep breath, he jumped into the sewer, and that touch of the moon was shattered!
