Chapter 19: Upstream Bloodstains
"Dean Bird, I have something to discuss with you," Mia called out and immediately followed, followed by Nishizawa who was ready to take revenge and watch a good show. Bird was not stupid and pretended not to hear the sound, but even quickened up and hurried back.
"It's a serious matter, an important thing" Bird stopped when he heard this, and Mia was happy in her heart, and she didn't make a move at this time, and directly lifted Bird up with a levitation technique. Seeing that he was weightless, Bird floated up and was ready to fight back against Mia, but Nishizawa directly connected a restraint technique to make the Bird Gang strong.
"Bird, be honest, did you deliberately make us ugly just now? "Yes, I'm asking you to exercise, but you're also a teacher at our Valley Riverland Academy now, right?" "You're still quibbling, just now Nishizawa explained everything you did, to be honest, did you just make a fool of yourself and take us on the head?" Mia simply gathered all the anger that was dissatisfied with Bird's handling of Morton at this time.
"Fly!" Mia pushed directly, throwing Bird far away, directly into the river outside the courtyard. Seeing Bird's miserable appearance, Mia hummed a song and walked away happily. Thankfully, Nishizawa was able to untie him before he fell into the river, and Bird was able to quickly wrap himself around with his magic to avoid injury.
The river was very wide, and Bird took a little time to swim out of the river, and he knew that Mia's dissatisfaction with him had dissipated the moment he threw him away, so he also cooperated to accept Mia's revenge.
"What a smell of blood" Bird sat by the river and smelled a pungent smell of blood, and looked upstream, and Bird saw two huge beasts like big bears flowing down from the upstream, "It seems that they can slow down the nearest food."
Because of the breadth of the river, there are often wild beasts in the forests on both sides of the river that fall into the river and die for one reason or another, and Bird has taken this opportunity to eat a lot of game. This time he thought it must have been two big bears fighting, and then he accidentally fell into the river and drowned alive.
Bird hurriedly wrung out his clothes first, picked a long pole that fit his hands, and planned to fish it to the shore first, and then use magic to float it up and move it to the shore. He is not familiar with levitation, and has a high failure rate when casting it on moving objects.
"Something seems wrong" The two big bears are getting closer and closer to Bird, and Bird also sees that something is wrong, these bears seem to have been let dry and bloodied to death. When the two giant bears got closer, something else that had been blocked by the bear appeared in front of Bird's eyes. Countless corpses, but all of them were animals, and Bird could clearly distinguish that there were brown rabbits, lying dogs, and so on that he usually ate.
The whole corpse floated about twenty meters, slowly floating in front of Bird, and Bird could see the big fish in the river constantly grabbing the broken corpses in the river.
This was something Bird had never seen before, and the long pole that Bird had intended to use to scoop up the corpse was held upright. But the soreness in the muscles and the disappearance of the corpse's floating belt made Bird focus his attention, could it be that something happened upstream? Bird saw that the corpses were not much decomposed, and it was estimated that the place where the incident occurred was not far from the academy.
The only good news I know now is that there are no intelligent creatures in the corpse belt, and I have to go upstream to see it.
For most of the past month, Bird would spend some time by the river every few days, and all the centaurs thought that the dean was in love with swimming. Because the last time Bird came back, he was soaking wet, and he happened to meet a group of centaurs, Bird showed his big white teeth and said to them, "It's too hot, it's suitable for swimming", and Mia and the others didn't expose him, so there was a story among centaur wizards that Bird liked to swim.
Bird couldn't help but laugh when he heard about it, but he took the opportunity to block it and advertise that he liked to swim naked and didn't like to be disturbed. At first, Mia thought that Bird was planning again, and after seeing Bird really go down the river, she began to curse Bird for being eaten by the big fish in the river.
"This is the fourth batch" At first, Bird suspected that the floating belt of corpses was caused by a wizard passing by Bush, or some special reason, but soon he met the second group, the third group, and the fourth group today. Bird noticed that the corpses floated for a regular amount of time, with the next batch floating upstream at regular intervals.
In the third and fourth groups, Bird tried to find the source of the corpse's floating belt, but all failed, the forest was very large, and the rivers were also gathered together, and then flowed downstream.
"Wait a few more days, I'll find it next time" Bird had already searched most of the area, leaving only the last block, the forest on the other side of the river, which the former dean had called the forbidden forest. Bird stared into the depths of the forest on the other side, he didn't know what happened to the former dean there, he remembered that shortly after the establishment of the hospital, the former would explore a nearby area every day, familiarize himself with the terrain and deal with some potential dangers. He remembered very well that the former dean had come back late, and when he came back with a pale face, he woke up Bird and the others in the middle of the night, and warned them not to set foot in the forest on the other side of the river. Bird and the others have been trying to know why the former dean was so flustered that night, and the former dean just told him not to go because he was not strong enough, and over time this became a forbidden forest.
"Walk along the river bank tomorrow, and run back if you encounter any problems" Bird had already thought of a countermeasure at this time, and continued to swim in the river. "You have to do a full set to do a play" Bird secretly thought in his heart, at this moment Nishizawa happened to appear by the river, he saw that Bird didn't seem to notice him, so he lightly picked up a big pebble, secretly found a place a little closer to Bird, and threw it at Bird.
Some time ago, Bird said that he liked swimming, and Nishizawa felt that Bird must be doing something secretly, so he followed Bird several times, but every time Bird came to the river, he was in a daze, and he stripped and jumped into the river after writing and drawing by the river. At first, Nishizawa thought that Bird was secretly practicing his spells, intending to seek revenge on Mia. But after a long time, he found that this Bird was really swimming in the river, and he did it in a variety of ways, one moment in this position, and the other in that position.
