The town of Anxi is a small autonomous unit in the province of Gravolinne of the Arzer Empire, surrounded by the Anxi forest, and the town is crossed by a small Anxi. Although it is a town, it is actually more like a temporary population distribution center, because countless adventurers, nomads, and hunters gather here to stock up on enough food for the winter year, or to make a comparison before the winter year. The Anxi Forest is one of the richest regions in the province of Gravelinne, where thousands of people gather every year to hunt all kinds of game, but the forest never seems to be exhausted, some attribute it to its size, because no one has ever really explored it, and others to attribute it to the miracle of the goddess of the forest.

"Fifty years ago, the aged King of the Alzer Empire, Damb Toller, was defeated in the face of a simultaneous invasion by the Corvinians Empire and the Losimouth Empire, until his army was defeated and retreated to the last line of defense in the Alzer Empire. In the Stovia Valley, less than a hundred miles away from the Imperial Capital of the Empire, Bloodsail City, the king of Arze, Danbu Toller, led a thousand-person blood sword escort team to directly cut off the local support forces, trapping hundreds of thousands of people in the local two countries in the Stovia Valley, and then quickly led a thousand-person blood sword escort to rush into it, and two days later, King Danbu Toller walked out of the Storvia Valley alone, covered in blood red like a demon from hell. ”

Immediately the morale of the Arzer Empire was greatly boosted, and Dambu Toller returned to Bloodsail City, and in less than a day, he once again led the last 30,000 troops of the Empire, directly knocking out all the enemy forces of the Corvinas Empire and the Lossimouth Empire to the imperial border. Seeing the ferocity of Dambu Toller, the Corvinians withdrew from the coalition plan and surrendered and signed the Treaty of Stovia Valley, while the Losimouth Empire always insisted that it would not bow to the devil. And Dambu Toller miraculously did not take the opportunity to invade the Lossimouth Empire, but sorted out the surrenders and rebels within the empire, and until now the two countries will still wage a small conflict every year, which is the famous Battle of Stovia Valley"

The Arzer Empire also took the opportunity to rise up in a war, and King Dambu Toller seemed to suddenly awaken, and with the help of the Covinas Empire's reparations, he quickly developed the empire's strength. Measures such as sorting out the military and government, opening up the economic zone, and encouraging industry and commerce have ushered in a period of rapid development of the empire, which is known as the Spring of Blood Sails until now. ”

As the words fell, the entire tavern erupted in applause, and someone opened his throat and shouted, "Bird, keep talking"

Bird was sitting on the side of the tavern in his grey-white robes, and laughed, "Duke, this is not good, I have to prepare for tomorrow's dinner, and I can tell all the stories in one night, which is not what a clever bard should do." After Bird finished speaking, the whole tavern erupted in bursts of laughter and cheers.

"Duke, you've been listening to Bird's story for so long, and you're still trying to figure out what Bird is going to do. The tavern smiled even more.

"Xi Bastin, thank you for your honey Anxi fish today" Bird saw that the big men in the tavern were taunting each other, and greeted Xi Bastin, the owner of the Black Bear Tavern who was approaching him, and thanked him.

"You're welcome Bird, if it weren't for your story, my tavern business wouldn't be so good" "It's a little late, I'll go back first today" "Okay, rest the young man"

Bird then exited through the back door of the tavern.

This is the fifth day of his storytelling at the Black Bear Tavern in Anxi Township. According to Bird's original plan, he should have traveled through the Artzer Empire to reach the territory of the Losimouth Empire, which was closest to the Wizarding City, but he didn't want to be an accident, and it took several days just to get out of the jungle outside the academy.

When he was using the flying technique to cross the forest, all the energy in the magic space suddenly disappeared, Bird could not cast any spells, could not mobilize any trace of mana, he was like an ordinary person, so in the dangerous jungle, it took Bird nearly a week to wear out.

It wasn't until the last few days that Bird had been working as a bard in the tavern for news that Bird had slowly recovered from the state where all his magic power had disappeared. According to Bird's current understanding, it seems that he is causing a conflict of mana because the mana energy in the mana space is too large. So now, he can only have about one hourglass hour a day to mobilize the magic power in his body, and once the time passes, there will be nothing.

This short period of mana can only play a role in protecting himself. So he was waiting, waiting for a mercenary group that was about to go to Bloodsail City, the imperial capital of the Arze Empire, and then after arriving in Bloodsail City, he would make another plan. I've heard that there are traces of wizards there, and there may be a solution when the time comes, but now he can't return to the academy, because he doesn't even know if he can walk through the forest by himself now that the beasts are rioting.

The person who had asked Bird in the tavern to continue telling the story of Dambu Toller, the ruler of the Arzer Empire, was Duke, a member of the Sword and Brave Mercenary Regiment, who was about to return to Bloodsail.

As for whether there are wizards in Bloodsail City, Bird is only suspicious and does not dare to confirm. The City of Wizards is forbidden for any wizard to meddle in the affairs of ordinary people, especially the affairs of the Empire. If it is reported or found by the patrol team, it is a heavy punishment. But when Bird himself recalls and tells the story about Danbu Tollor, he always feels that there seem to be traces of wizards in it, especially when Danbu Tollor was already in his forties fifty years ago, but now he is still alive and well, not only that, but also constantly releasing the major policies of the empire, it seems that he is a ruler who never tires and never gets old, which is very strange, and also attracts this Bird to go to Bloodsail City to find out.

Today's moonlight is a little dim, but this does not affect Bird's night walk, because now that Anxi Town is brightly lit, the hunting season that has lasted for nearly half a month will become the annual carnival of the entire Anxi Town, although these two days are the end of the hunting season.

There was the sound of wheels cooing ahead, and Bird looked up to see a small five-person convoy on the way at night, and the leader kept greeting the acquaintances passing by, as if some hunters gathered near Anxi Town were rushing home, and they didn't even plan to wait for the hunting carnival the day after tomorrow.

"Hey, I'm Hayden, the guy who invited you to drink Sadlan in the tavern the other day," a young man greeted Bird happily as he passed by the convoy.
