Chapter 21: Antoine the Shepherd
The envelope and the letterhead, along with the formatted handwriting in them, were Bird's, and Bird was surprised that he didn't seem to have written them.
"That's right!" Bird opens the system and receives a prompt "System reward completed, Antoine the Shepherd reaches the Academy". Bird suddenly remembered at this time that this tree man Antoine was drawn by his previous system lottery. Recently, I was busy looking for the source of the corpse's floating belt, and I completely left the system reward behind, and then I remembered.
However, what still surprised Bird was the letter in his hand, he could be sure that he had not written such a letter, so the letter must have been issued by the system. But at this time, Antoine the Shepherd was looking at himself and waiting for his response, so he put the invitation away, stretched out his right hand and said, "Welcome, Antoine is willing to join us" as if holding a branch, this was the only feeling Bird had for Antoine the Shepherd's dry hands.
"What do you think of the Academy?" "Very satisfied, especially since I saw the statue of Beatrice, Mother Earth, here" "I think there will be a statue of the goddess of the forest in the future" Antoine the Shepherd just looked at Bird and nodded. Bird was a little embarrassed, he originally planned to paraphrase Antoine the Shepherd, wondering how he received the invitation from the system, but seeing that he had no intention of following his words, Bird opened his mouth directly when he saw this.
"Antoine, can you tell me how you received this invitation?" Antoine the Shepherd glanced at Bird in surprise, "I have reached a bottleneck in my strength, and I want to go out looking for a breakthrough. Just as I was deciding on this plan, one of the elders of the clan brought me this letter, saying that he had been asked to deliver it to me. I'm also quite surprised, I just made a decision to receive this invitation, dean, can you tell me, how do you know?" After speaking, he stared at Bird, and asked Bird to give him an explanation.
Bird was also surprised in his heart, this system was so magical, even the voices of some members of the reclusive race could be known? When Bird secretly felt terrifying, he was lucky that only he knew about this system. Seeing that Antoine the Shepherd was staring at him, he hurriedly explained, "It's Beatrice, the Mother Earth, and I prayed to Beatrice, the Mother Earth, to find me a good professor, but I didn't expect to find it." Come, I'll introduce you to your colleagues and students," Bird quickly changed the subject at this time, introducing Antoine to the shepherd and the others around him.
Nishizawa and the centaurs on the side were already full of curiosity about the shepherd, and saw that Bird would appoint him as a professor at the academy. While lamenting Bird's magic and strength, and getting the help of Beatrice, the mother of the earth, he also asked all kinds of questions around the shepherd.
Bird's ploy proved to be successful, and Antoine the Shepherd was soon overwhelmed by countless men.
"Then the god of the contract will be identified, and the contract will be valid," Bird and Antoine the Shepherd tore up the contract paper full of obligations and responsibilities between Antoine the Shepherd and the Academy and burned it with fire, and the two of them felt a force of contract between them. Bird signed a five-year teaching contract with Antoine the Shepherd, and Bird promised to provide Antoine the Shepherd with ten low-level magic stones and various related benefits every year, while Antoine the Shepherd undertook the teaching task and took turns attending classes like Bird and the others.
After the contract was signed, Bird sent Antoine the Shepherd away. With the God of Contracts to testify, he wouldn't have been afraid of Antoine the Shepherd running away at all, and the next time was still long anyway.
As usual, Bird looked at the system again before going to bed, and nothing changed. The arrival of Antoine the Shepherd did not make Bird's system mission show any changes. It seems that the system does not recognize professors who won by lottery.
Thinking of this, Bird remembered why the system did not recognize the professorship of Nishizawa and the others, and now that Antoine the Shepherd had arrived, he had to find a time to observe the differences between them. lest you recruit a large number of teachers by yourself when you get it, but your system tasks are not completed, and you will suffer a loss.

Antoine the Shepherd's residence, Antoine the Shepherd was saying something to the void, "Elder, there must be something unsavory about this Academy, and when I asked about the invitation I received, he always slurred. He said that this was the help given to him by Beatrice, the Mother of the Earth, but he didn't know that Beatrice, the Mother of the Earth, looked down on our people very much, and had already cut off any contact with our people, so how could he find someone from our clan to serve as a professor. "After a moment of silence" Elder, I know that the focus of this mission is on the forest opposite this academy, I will definitely complete the mission, please rest assured" A flash of green light returned to Antoine the Shepherd's antlers, and the whole room slowly fell silent, without even the slightest sound of breathing.
It seems that the systematic selection of people is not what Bird imagined, and he will always be loyal to the college.

Two days later, just as the next group of corpses floated down, Bird woke up early in the morning, and the whole academy was still asleep, and Bird took the red willow staff and walked to the forest on the other side of the river as a precaution. Bird didn't notice the shadow behind him, someone was following him.
Bird directly put a levitation spell on himself, plus the speed technique, and flew to the forest on the other side to start searching. The black shadow behind him paused, and seemed to be a little hesitant whether to cross the river and continue to follow, seeing that Bird was about to disappear into the depths of the jungle on the other side, the black shadow was a little timid, but finally gave up, found a dark corner, and planned to hide and wait for Bird to come back.
The difference between the forest on the other side and the forest near the academy is that it is more like a primeval forest, and this is Bird's first feeling about the forest, and the second feeling is that it takes a lot of effort, because there are bushes and dense branches everywhere, and Bird needs to be careful to avoid these things.
Slowly two hourglasses have passed, in order to preserve the magic power in the body, Bird chose to move forward on foot, fortunately, Bird has already prepared the tools used for clearing the wasteland, and the only thing that is tired is the tiredness on the **. The sun was rising, and in the dense jungle Bird could only tell the time by the occasional rays of sunlight that poured down.
However, to Bird's delight, along the way, he saw signs of the activities of countless animals and beasts, but he could hardly see the physical location of these animals and beasts, and Bird estimated that these beasts were the beasts that were killed and floated on the river, which means that the source of the corpse floating belt should be in this jungle.
