Chapter 593: Feeding
The foliage was carried by Al all the way to a forest on the edge of the High Elf colony.
This forest is inhabited by a variety of creatures, and is an indispensable 'circular' of Athercro, and because the other side of the forest is the Forgotten Lands, the forest is always patrolled by patrols.
If the leaves were discovered by the patrol teams, not only would Al be locked up for an extended period of time, but she could also be imprisoned directly in the Hall of Contemplation.
However, Zhiye felt that instead of worrying about when he would run into the patrol, he should care about when he would fall to the ground from exhaustion!
Zhiye had never been so hungry in her life, and the hunger in her belly made her fall into a state of weakness, and Al, who was still energetic at first, gradually slowed down her pace because of hunger.
What really happened to Arthur Crowe?
The branches and leaves sensed the magic in their bodies, and there was no reduction at all, indicating that the condition of the sacred tree was still very good, but this frequent hunger made the branches and leaves very uncomfortable.
If this anomaly had started yesterday, she hadn't eaten anything for almost the whole day.
"Branches and leaves... Did you go to the Forgotten Lands? ”
Al was so tired that she couldn't run, so she had to be led by the branches and leaves.
"Nope..."
The branches and leaves braced their consciousness and walked towards the depths of the forest, while being wary of all the subtle movements around them.
Having met the patrol in such a weak situation, she didn't even have the ability to escape.
"Is it time now?" Al hadn't walked a few steps before he asked.
"No, we seem to be lost."
Leafleaf glanced around the forest, and Leaf remembered that the edge of the forest seemed to have been set up by the elders to confuse the invaders, and any creature that approached the Forgotten Lands felt as if they had entered a labyrinth.
"There seems to be a bird in the tree." Al said suddenly.
This sentence startled Zhiye slightly, and she immediately turned around and gently patted Al's cheek with both hands.
"Wake up, don't use magic here, you'll draw the patrol team over!"
"But I'm too hungry to do anything."
Al's hunger was far beyond Leafleaf's expectations, probably because she needed to maintain a lot of mana in her body, and before Leaf could say the next word, Al's body fell backwards.
Zhiye hurriedly grabbed Al, and after a moment of silence, he could only carry Al, who had fainted from hunger.
Maybe she should take the initiative to go to the inspector now and explain why? If they continue to get lost in this forest, they will most likely become the first pair of High Elves to starve to death on their doorstep.
But Twigleaf didn't, and a strange belief sustained her back as she carried Al deeper into the forest.
Hunger blurred her consciousness, and she didn't know how long she had been walking, and when she took the next step, she slid down a slope.
The foliage eventually fell into the damp pile of leaves, and a feeling of tiredness swept over the foliage, and she felt like she couldn't even open her own eyes.
But faintly, the branches and leaves seemed to smell a fragrance, a fragrance that she seemed to smell there, but her head was so heavy that she couldn't remember it.
Wait a minute... Is this the smell of food?
Zhiye barely supported his body, and the moment he wanted to continue to carry Al up and walk in that direction, Al who had been unconscious suddenly woke up.
Faintly, the branches and leaves seemed to see the light of stars in her eyes.
"It's cake!" Al's excited voice echoed in the ears of the branches.
Zhiye could only lie on the ground and watch Al, who should have lost his strength, suddenly stand up, and then quickly disappear from her field of vision.
But it didn't take long for Al to remember that he had forgotten something, and instantly turned back and picked up the somewhat weak branches and leaves.
Al ran out of the forest with the leaves, the harsh sunlight making the eyes of the leaves a little uncomfortable, and after a while, the leaves gradually saw the scenery in the distance.
The Forgotten Lands!
It looks like a hill already covered in vines and moss, but how could there be a tavern in such an abandoned place?
Wait a minute... The tavern didn't see it, but it saw a wooden cart at the entrance to the Forgotten Lands, and the smell of the cake came from that cart.
"Wait... Al! ”
Twigleaf wants to remind Al that there is a defensive magic circle around the Forgotten Lands.
"And baked cookies!"
But Al's mind was already controlled by her appetite, and she ran straight to the car.
The defensive magic circle around the Forgotten Lands didn't work, and Al easily carried the branches and leaves through the barrier of magic to the cart.
At this time, Zhiye also saw the figure standing next to the car, a... Very beautiful 'human girl'.
"You... Why is it here? ”
It was only then that Zhiye came back to his senses and realized that it was not normal for humans to appear in Arthurcro, and that the worst would bring devastating disaster to Athercro.
"I want a strawberry cake and a pack of blueberry cookies, thank you!"
But before the 'human girl' could respond to Zhiye's question, Al said what he wanted in a loud voice.
The 'Human Girl' also cooperated in packing the contents of the cart shelves and handing them to Al.
"Hmm... Can I use the Magic Net Savings to pay here? ”
Al had been to Nolan once and still knew that it was necessary for humans to exchange items with each other, but unfortunately she didn't have any human currency on her at all.
"You don't have to pay, it's all given away for free."
When the 'human girl' said this, Zhiye felt even more that something was wrong, and just as she was about to warn Al to be careful of poison, Al had already stuffed the cake directly into his mouth.
"You can eat cookies if you don't mind." Al felt the gaze of the leaves, and seemed to think that the other party was looking at her with such a terrifying look because she had eaten the cake.
“……”
Leafy fell into a long silence once more, and she looked at the packet of biscuits that Al had handed over, which smelled like a mixture of blueberry and milk, an irresistible temptation for those who were already hungry.
So Zhiye swallowed his saliva and glanced at Al, who was still safe and sound after eating the cake, and was about to take a piece of biscuit to taste it......
"What are you doing there!"
There was a stern reprimand behind him, and the branches and leaves turned around... The worst she had ever imagined had happened.
The High Elves' patrol has found this place! She looked at the 'human girl' again, and she seemed to be in a state of panic, not at all like a warrior.
'Ino, leave the car alone, just run back!' ’
The magic web interface that appeared in front of her let Zhiye know the name of the person in front of her, and Zhiye decided to negotiate with the elven patrol team, but unfortunately Al directly hugged her in the next second.
"That's when it's time to run away." Al said with a cake in his mouth, a little slurred.
"Put me down!"
Branchleaf's dissuasion did nothing, and she could only watch as Al carried her into the interior of the Forgotten Lands.
