The airship flew very fast, and in just half a day, it had completely flown out of the territory directly under the French royal family, and came to the nearby province of Joseph, the closest province to the Black Forest.

Although Leo and Sylvia would love to drive the airship directly into the Black Forest, the fuel and condition on the airship are not enough to support them to continue their journey.

From the people on the airship, it was learned that they were originally just going to drive the airship for a flight test around the city, which was a short-distance flight, and the structure and manufacturing materials of the airship itself did not have the ability to fly at a long-distance high speed, and flying out of the royal territory from Winter Rin City had reached the limit that the airship could bear, and Leo's spiritual network had sensed that many of the connection points on the airship had been loosened, and it seemed that it would not take long to fall apart.

In addition, the fuel tank of this short-range airship is very small, if it is only flying around the city at normal speed, judging by the amount of coals in the fuel tank, it is enough for this airship to carry out dozens of flight tests, but Leo and Sylvia have made the airship fly at the highest speed from the beginning, and the fuel consumed has naturally increased exponentially, and it is already very good to be able to fly out of the royal territory and enter the province of Joseph.

Once the situation was confirmed, Leo and Sylvia decided to land the airship and then travel from land to the Black Forest.

With her decision decided, Sylvia landed in a clearing in the mountains on the outskirts of an unknown town.

However, when the airship landed, something unexpected suddenly happened, and a large number of birds flew out of the mountains and woods, and rushed towards the airship like crazy, trying to attack the iron-clad behemoth with flesh and blood.

"Damn, why did a bird plague suddenly break out?" Seeing a large number of birds forming a black cloud and rushing towards the airship like crazy, Sylvia accelerated her landing.

Originally, Leo and Sylvia didn't have any unusual accidents after seeing the airship fly out of Winter Rin City, so they thought that this airship also added some means to block bird attacks like Louis X's writer, and then flew smoothly as if to confirm their guess, but now it seems that their guesses are wrong.

"Keep landing, they'll be handed over to me. Although the airship had landed at the fastest speed, it still couldn't match the attack speed of the birds, and when the birds came into contact with the airship, Leo said to Sylvia, and then formed the illusion of the Stone Throne in his mind.

A force emanated from him in an instant, this power was somewhat similar to the power shrouded in the palace of Fran, but it was very different, the biggest difference was that the power in the palace was extremely powerful, strong enough to block all the extraordinary powers, but the power emanating from Leo's body was obviously incomparable.

Moreover, the power in the palace cannot be felt by ordinary people, and Leo's power can be felt even by ordinary people, and even affected, for example, those captives in the cabin are unable to withstand the impact of this power on their spirits, and they all pass out one by one.

Ordinary people were still unable to resist the spiritual impact of this force, and the birds that came over were naturally even more irresistible, falling to the ground one by one like rain, and soon all the birds in the vicinity who were attracted by the airship fell to the ground to death.

Seeing that the threat was gone, Sylvia also adjusted the speed of landing, and soon the airship landed firmly on the ground.

Leo sabotaged the helm of the airship in case the men they captured would later drive the airship to a nearby town and get their word out and cause unnecessary trouble.

"From where we are, it's either Bint or Bouli, it's a remote town, and let's go to the town to see if there's a horse-drawn carriage? Maybe we can take the Timber Avenue straight to the Black Forest. Sylvia said as she looked from the flight deck at the distant town looming below the mountain.

Although Leo knew a lot about the geography of the provinces of France, he knew very little about the situation on the ground, so he did not add much to Sylvia's proposal, but nodded in agreement.

After untying the unconscious captives, the two left the airship and hurried towards the small village and town down the mountain.

Although the mountain road was difficult to walk, it was nothing for the two of them, and it took less than a quarter of an hour to walk out of the mountain forest and enter the town.

At this time, the people in the town were talking about the commotion caused by the large number of birds just now, because Leo's location was blocked by a small hill, so they didn't see the airship, but they thought that something very scary came in the mountain forest, which caused the birds to fly in all directions.

From the conversation of the people in the town, Leo and Sylvia both knew that they had a mutant who ran out of control and ate people here not long ago, although in the end the mutant was solved in time by the Empire's Special Operations Department, but the impact on the ordinary people in the town has not subsided until now, and everyone took out all kinds of weapons when they saw the birds moving, nervously guarded, as if an unpredictable battle would happen at any time.

In this case, the arrival of Leo and Sylvia, two outsiders, naturally attracted the attention of the people from the town, but they did not have any bad thoughts towards them, because both of them were dressed in scholar's clothing, and they were both high-ranking scholars, and they had extraordinary status within the empire.

"Two scholars, did you come to our town of Bint for the disturbance that happened on the mountain just now?" The mayor of the town immediately rushed over after hearing the news from his subordinates, and as a local official, he easily recognized the two of them as royal scholars from their scholars' clothes, and immediately approached them, and asked with a humble attitude.

Seeing that the mayor of the town misunderstood the identities of the two of them, Sylvia made a plan and said in a very pure imperial aristocratic tone: "Yes, we are here for the affairs of the mountain. ”

Hearing Sylvia's words, the mayor of the town immediately showed a worried look on his face, obviously the mutant cannibalism that happened before had brought a huge shadow to him.

Sylvia then said, "But don't worry, the matter is settled, and someone else will come to clean up the mess in a few days, and you'd better tell the people in the town not to go up the mountain these days, lest there be any accidents." ”

The mayor of the town couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this, and quickly nodded: "Okay, okay! I will definitely restrict the people in the town from going up the mountain." ”

Sylvia then commanded, "Besides, our mounts are no longer available, and I need you to prepare one of the best carriages in town." ”

"Yes, yes, I'll get people ready at once. When the mayor of the town heard the order, he dared to ask something, and hurriedly took a step and took someone to prepare the carriage for Sylvia and Leo.

The two of them waited for a while, and then they saw a magnificent carriage pulled by four sturdy beasts of burden approach, and stopped in front of them, and then the mayor of the town jumped down from the carriage.

Sylvia wrote an IOU casually, then took out the scholar's badge on her body and printed it on the note, handed it to the mayor of the town, and said: "In a few days, someone will come to deal with the affairs of the mountain, you give him this IOU, and he will return the car to you." ”

Before, the mayor of the town was still a little suspicious of the identities of Sylvia and Leo, after all, the royal scholar appeared in the mountain to deal with those mysterious things, and there was no one around to protect him, which made people feel strange no matter how they looked at it, but now Sylvia's style dispelled his doubts, he borrowed the IOU and glanced at it, and then put it in his pocket, and said, "The old heel is the best carriage driver in our town......"

"No need!" Sylvia shook her head, jumped into the carriage, motioned for the coachman to leave, and then, as soon as Leo boarded the carriage, she flicked the reins and skillfully steered the carriage to the road leading to the Timber Avenue.

Seeing Sylvia drive away by herself, the mayor's already weakened suspicions reappeared, but he quickly realized that even if he doubted now, he could only hope that in a few days, someone would really come here to deal with the affairs of the mountains, as Sylvia said.

As the mayor of the town said, the carriage he took out was indeed the best carriage, not only the carriage was equipped with the latest shock-absorbing springs, but also the material used to make the carriage was the finest red ironwood, which was not only tough, but also extremely resistant to wear and tear, and even better than steel in some special places.

In addition, the four pack beasts of the carriage are also old pack beasts, who know how to choose the road to run, know how to reduce the vibration when pulling the cart, and know how to cooperate with each other to make the carriage run fast.

As soon as the carriage reached the Timber Avenue, the speed of the carriage began to accelerate with Sylvia's control, and at this speed it was estimated that it would take them at most a day to reach the border of the Black Forest.

The Timber Highway was the main road in the northern provinces of the Empire, which ran through the seven northern provinces of the Empire, reaching as far east as the East Coast and as far west as the Black Forest, and was one of the most important trade routes in the Empire.

The reason why this avenue is called a timber avenue is because when it was originally built, it was a temporary road dedicated to transporting timber for the construction of the imperial capital, but the builders at that time had no idea that this road would eventually be preserved and become the main road of the empire.

At that time, there was still a large area of primeval forest outside the Black Forest, and there were a large number of precious wood in the forest, which was very suitable for making some wooden structure buildings, and was also suitable for making high-end furniture, etc., and the imperial capital was built from the next few hundred years, whether it was royal or civil, all the wood used by the people almost came from the primeval forest outside the Black Forest.

However, no matter how lush the forest is, it is impossible to withstand hundreds of years of deforestation, and by now the things transported by this wood avenue are rarely seen, most of them are the products of plantations, and some rare specialties of the Black Forest.

There is no shortage of people who take risks for their money, and although everyone knows that the Black Forest is dangerous, there are still many people who are willing to venture into the Black Forest, because they can get an amazing fortune as long as they bring out a precious Black Forest item alive, whether it is a plant, an animal, or even a stone that has not been seen outside.

Big Tree Town is such a Black Forest town dominated by adventurers, just like the rabbit skin town that Leo once visited, it is a town built for the resources in the Black Forest, but unlike Rabbitskin Town, this town is mainly for those rare animals and plants in the deep Black Forest.

No one knows why the adventurers of Big Tree Town have been able to make their own gains in the Black Forest, they only know that if they want any precious items related to the Black Forest, they can just look for the adventurers of Big Tree Town, and the only flaw is that the price is a bit expensive.

The people of Big Tree have always made a living from it, and each generation has taken over from their fathers and become adventurers in the Black Forest.

They travel through the Black Forest by means passed down from their ancestors, and as long as they don't break the rules of the Black Forest, most of them can get out of the Black Forest alive, and only those outsiders who don't fear the Black Forest will be captured by the Black Forest and become part of the Black Forest.

It's just that in the last year or two, the adventurers of Big Tree Town have not had a good time, because they found that the methods passed down from their ancestors have begun to become a little unstable, sometimes they can work very well, but sometimes they are not useful at all, and this change has also caused a lot of casualties among the adventurers in Big Tree Town, which in turn has begun to have a bad impact on the population of Big Tree Town.

It is for this reason that the town council of Big Tree Town has also begun to discuss whether it is better to change careers and stop venturing into the Black Forest in search of all kinds of precious creatures for a living.

For Dashu Town, although it is a little difficult to change careers, it is not that it is impossible to do more, after all, every family in Dashu Town has been doing this business for many years, and if they can survive, they must have accumulated some money on hand, and it is not difficult to buy the nearby land and turn it into a plantation.

It's just that the vast majority of people in the town still covet the huge bounty for the endemic creatures of the Black Forest, especially the changes in the Black Forest over the years have not only affected Big Tree Town, but all the towns around the Black Forest have been affected, which has also made the endemic animals and plants of the Black Forest on the market become scarce during the day, and the purchase price has also risen, and the latest price has been more than ten times higher than in the past, which can be described as a huge profit.

So the discussion about changing careers has been going on for the fourth time now, and there is still no result, and even before this parliamentary discussion, another team of seven veteran adventurers had an accident in the Black Forest, which did not sober up those who were fascinated by profit.

Although none of the career change issues discussed came to an end, the members of the parliament did discuss another result, which was the handling of foreign adventurers.

Because the price of Black Forest products has risen to an alarming level, many adventurers from other places have also turned their attention to the Black Forest, and they have come to the Black Forest in search of opportunities to enter the forest, and before entering the forest, the small towns around the Black Forest are their foothold, and Big Tree Town is one of them.
