Balk had already fallen asleep, and when he woke up the next day, it was already dawn.

"Mr. Bird, I'm sorry, I brought you food last night, I didn't expect me to sleep here when I was too tired" Bird had already revised some of Balke's memories, and the most important thing was the encounter with him today.

Bird smiled and said he didn't care about that, and then continued, "Can you do me a favor, Balk?" "Mr. Bird, please say" "I may have been out for a long time recently, would you like to take care of this house for me" Bird placed the key to the house on the table, along with a few gold coins.

Balk glanced at Bird, and when he woke up, he saw that Bird was packing, and he knew that what Bird said was not a lie, so he nodded in agreement and pinched the key in his hand, but he didn't look at the gold coins.

"Mr. Bird, you've already given me some gold coins before" Balke's eyes revealed decisiveness, he had already thought in his heart that no matter what Bird said, he would definitely not accept these gold coins again.

"Balk, I don't know when I'll be back, it's just a temporary payment for you, to help me with the housekeeping, and cleaning. Besides, it's better to sleep with me than with you and the old man in the old man and listen to him snoring every day. Balk was a little moved by what he said, but he still wanted to refuse.

"Alright, Balk, I don't lack these gold coins," Bird didn't give Balk a chance to refuse, and walked out of the house with the package on his back.

Bird had prepared a lot of things for this expedition to the ruins, but the recovery of his mana allowed him to abandon most of the useless things, and now he only needed to carry some necessary daily necessities and clothing.

It was a twilight day, and due to the previous night's hunting carnival, it was rare to see a few pedestrians walking around today, such as the usual shop pù was also closed at this time, and the streets saw more drunkards who had just returned from the tavern, or hangovers who slept directly on the side of the road, awakened by the cold of the early morning.

Even if the drunkards were drunk again, when they saw a large number of militia members and emperor ** standing in the square, they all honestly shut up and made a detour.

Not many people went with him this time, Bird, the robed wizard Mandel and his disciple Louis, the absurd poet, the captain of the emperor, Captain Bazel and his whole team, as well as the militia captain of Anxi Town, Pablo, and an old hunter.

There were about 20 people in the team, and there were more people who saw them off in the square. Willie, the administrative officer, stood in the crowd, he had been looking at Pablo with some concern, because he knew what Pablo was thinking, but now he could only say, "Captain Pablo is extremely familiar with the terrain of Anxi Forest, with him and the old hunter leading the way, you will definitely be able to return safely."

Captain Pablo just nodded at Willy, the magistrate, and didn't say much.

The absurd poet seemed to be a little impatient and urged the robed wizard Mandel to hurry up, Mandel patted Louis, who was still afraid of the absurd poet, with one hand, and hurriedly said, "Let's go"

※※※

Today is the third day that Bird and the others have entered the forest, because some animals on the periphery of the forest have long been hunted out during the hunting season, and the large wild animals have long been gone, so Bird and the others have not been hindered much along the way, and they have gone deep into the depths of the Anxi Forest in less than three days.

The forests here are not all composed of tall and straight giant trees like the Valley River Academy, but are all composed of fluffy plants less than three meters tall, the reason why they are called fluffy plants is because the leaf system of these plants is particularly developed, and it is very fluffy, not only that, all the branches and leaves of the trees are connected together, Bird and the others have not seen the sky for several days, and can only occasionally judge that it is daytime outside, and standing in the forest and looking at it is always endless green.

However, one of the best things about such a forest is that the terrain is extremely flat, and there are hardly any shrubs growing.

The old hunter stopped halfway through and didn't plan to go with Bird and his party, and said in a bit of a panic, "The road ahead, we have only Captain Pablo in the entire Anxi Town, and I haven't been there, so I can only help you get here, and the road behind will be led by Captain Pablo." I see that all of you are strong and strong, and I, a half-old man, may drag you back, so I will stop moving forward here. ”

The old hunter looked at Captain Pablo and waited for Captain Pablo to respond, but Pablo, shrouded in an iron helmet, did not react, only turned his head to look at Mandel, the robed wizard.

Mandel took out a stone slab from there, looked around for a long time, and said, "Then come here, you guard here first." When the time comes, we can't say that after we come out, we still need your help to guide the way."

The absurd poet snorted, wondering if he was mocking when Mandel had become so kind, or if he was mocking something else. After the absurd poet finished humming, he didn't care about the eyes of others and sat down to rest.

When the old hunter saw that he agreed, he also nodded hurriedly to indicate that he must be so.

Mandel glanced at the absurd poet and said, "Rest here, everyone"

Bird rested with Captain Pablo under a tree. And the old hunter had decided to stay in the vicinity, and was already chopping down the branches of some trees and the like, preparing a place to rest and firewood.

Bird learned from Pabloh that it should be afternoon.

After a while, once the sunlight is gone, the entire forest will be plunged into darkness without any light source.

After a quarter of an hourglass, Mandel, the robed wizard, began to urge the crowd to continue on their way. Because it is just afternoon, the temperature in the whole jungle is not as hot as at noon, so it is necessary to take advantage of the cool time to hurry as much as possible, if once it is evening, the temperature in the whole forest will drop sharply, it is not suitable to hurry, so the only way to take advantage of this time is to take a few more steps.

In addition, the location of the ruins shown in the pumice stone slab was not far from the current location, and Mandel estimated that the next journey would take less than two days, so he was a little urgent.

Along the way, Bird found it very strange that the robed wizard Mandel always told the emperors led by Bazel and Captain Bablo that the ruins that his group were going to explore were related to the Osborne family of the mad lion, without mentioning the forest goddess at all. And the absurd poet was the same, never mentioning a word about the goddess of the forest, and Bird thought to himself if he had heard it wrong in the tent, but when he thought of the little green stone, which was the fragment of the godhead, Bird thought to himself, there must be something wrong with this.
