"So, you kid got an adventurer's guild in the bay?"

Bidding farewell to the group of adventurers, the "middle-aged" Jacob couldn't help but look at Allen.

"It's not a big deal. Allen made an understatement: "It's just a small fight, you don't need to care too much." ”

"I don't believe you," Jacob smiled, "The adventurers in the northern Iwaki City have all been attracted to you, and I guess the entire southern realm has heard of it, right?"

"Well, it still cost a lot of gold. Seeing him say this, Alan said frankly: "But to be honest, I didn't expect the name of the bay to spread so far, and the mercenaries didn't have much scale before leaving." And I'm getting the Mercenary Association, not the Adventurers' Association. ”

"Doesn't this all mean the same thing?" Jacob smiled, then his face straightened, and said: "Since it has been done, then I suggest that you do it well, although these mercenaries have no effect on the situation of the stars, it is still no problem to protect your territory, but they are generally forgetful of profit, how to use them, you have to think carefully, and you need to think carefully." ”

"I will. Alan nodded. Alan no longer underestimated or ignored this kind of sincere teaching as much as he used to, although he felt that he had some certainty about the use of the mercenary guild.

This was a small episode, but it made Alan quite excited, because he suddenly found that his previous efforts were not in vain, and the small city of the bay, although it could not get rid of the restrictions of hard conditions, had begun to show its edge!

The group didn't delay long here, they hurried again, their destination Sentinel Forest was located in the southwest of Samuel City, and further west they would directly reach the Emerald Stone Forest, Alan had also wondered why Renee had deviated so far from the normal trajectory and ran to the edge of the Emerald Stone Forest to do something, but unless Renee could wake up, no one would answer him.

The heavy rain was dripping, and everyone was silently hurrying on the road, because of the all-round protection of the mage armor, the knights had basically ignored the rain, but they could ignore it, but the horses under the crotch could not be ignored, Allen's mage armor could act on people, but how to act on horses, he was at a loss.

Fortunately, the knights' horses are all fully armed, and the knights lie on the back of the horses to cover them, which can have a certain effect.

So on the evening of the day they braved the rain, the afternoon of the day after they left Samuel, they finally reached their destination, the Sentinel Forest.

Sentinel Forest is an arbor forest, the straight and tall trees are neatly arranged, the bare trunks under the tips of the trees allow everyone to look through the surface of the arbor forest to look inside, the fallen leaves are patted off by the rain, forming a gray-black surface on the ground, under the rainy night, there are no animals in the forest, the light is dim, looking into the depths of the woods, there is also silence.

The forest looked very strange at first glance, and Alan proposed, "Shall we rest for the night?"

"We need to hurry. Jacob shook his head, and then said confidently, "With me here, what are you afraid of?"

"Okay. Alan thought about it and thought it was right, so he didn't express his opinion.

The light of the light spell appeared above the knights' heads in turn, dispelling the dimness of the surrounding environment, and there were not many knights who came with this time, only ten, compared to the five hundred that Eren brought back to the bay before, it was a "piece of cake", but thinking that there was a senior apocalypse knight next to him, Eren didn't need to worry about anything.

"This place is full of sawgrass grass," Alan said to the knights before entering, "everyone be careful when searching, don't touch this plant with your skin, their body surface is covered with poison, of course, if you are unfortunate enough to touch it, don't scratch it, come to me as soon as possible!"

"Okay!"

The dismounted knights nodded their heads, and then, at Jacob's signal, they stepped into the woods in pairs.

Because he only knew that the scholar had looked for this place, but he didn't know why he was looking for this place, so Allen and his party didn't have the slightest clue after coming here, so they could only rely on manpower to search, hoping to find something.

That's why they brought ten knights with them, otherwise there was no need to bring others what Jacob could do alone.

"Let's go in too. Jacob said.

"Wait a minute. "Eren didn't act right away, but used another spell - Monster Summoning!

As his mind turned, a bird-like silhouette suddenly appeared on his shoulder, at first it was only made up of blue lines, but as the magic worked, the lines gathered more and more, and the bones, internal organs, skin, and finally became a complete whole.

When the feathers stretched, a crisp cry followed.

"You kid has a lot of means. Seeing that he magically conjured a bird in the shape of a sparrow, Jacob sighed, "If the mages were like you, they wouldn't have been hiding their heads and tails in the stars for so long." ”

After fiddling with the bird's head and transmitting a message in his mind with that mysterious connection, the bird hurried into the jungle in the heavy rain, and Alan immediately looked at Jacob, "Do you know the true purpose of the mage in the stars?"

Naturally, he wasn't talking about the wild mages, but the mage organization. The five-colored mage tower to be exact.

"I don't know the specifics, but I still know a little, and I don't have a conflict with us. Jacob replied, still looking at the distant bird, "You can contact it at any time?"

"Yes," Alan nodded, "Contact at any time, I can know anything going on, as long as it is within five hundred meters of me." ”

"What a handy ability. ”

"Definitely. Alan doesn't deny it.

The husky was solidified in reality by the auxiliary spirit, so his first-level monster summoning technique could summon other animals again, and to Allen's luck, the animals he summoned for the second time were more normal - all the birds.

It looks like a sparrow, but it is much faster than a sparrow and very observant. Alan wasn't sure what species the bird was, but that didn't stop Allen from using it.

The two entered the woods and searched silently.

It seemed that the forest was silent, but when the two entered it, they found that the dead woods were not lifeless, probably because of the heavy rain, and all the beasts on the surface were hidden, but some of the creatures living in the trees were quite active.

Giant whiskered ants and poisonous stings, as they continued to enter, Alan could clearly observe the various insects living on the trunks of the trees, which looked dense.

"This situation is best suited for a fireball. Looking at these bugs, this thought flashed through Alan's mind.

Just as the two of them were concentrating on their search, a scream suddenly appeared in the sky, and they turned their heads to see a fiery red smoke and fire appear in the heavy rain.

"Did they find something unusual?"

The two glanced at each other, and then hurriedly ran in the direction of the signal.
