Mystic Holy See

Andrea didn't pursue comfort, she just bought an ordinary ticket. After getting on the steam train, Aldrich unexpectedly found that the atmosphere was noisy, and there were all kinds of people, including ordinary civilians, some unwilling small businessmen, and some people who also wore hunting suits.

Among them, there must be insiders who are also 'mysterious hunters', but more are some adventurers who enter the wilderness to find wild goods. Everyone knows the dangers of the wilderness. Some ingredients, medicinal materials and other items that only exist in the wilderness are Good stuff on the market, and every year someone ventures into the wilderness to find these alternative golds.

Of course, a large number of people will die in the wilderness every year.

The two of them were sitting next to each other. Mr. Aldridge gave up the window seat to Andrea and sat near the aisle, but the carriage was packed like a sardine can and the aisle was full of people. , so that he had to indent the distance with Andrea.

The taste of this environment is the most touching...

Andrea closed her eyes from the moment she sat down and paid little attention to everything around her, while Aldridge naturally shouldered the duty of vigilance. There might be a 'third hand' moving in places where things were mixed up.

A mother and daughter were sitting across from them. The mother carefully protected her daughter by the window, and nodded nervously and reluctantly when Aldrich looked over.

Aldridge responded with a smile.

Fortunately, it only takes about 40 minutes to get from Huodu to the small town of Gorland, so I don't have to endure it for too long. The moment he got out of the car, Aldridge never felt that the air was so beautiful.

"How do we arrange it?" Aldridge turned to ask Andrea who was beside him.

"Let's go get something to eat, then rent a car and head to the edge of the forest."

"Okay."

The town of Gorrant leans against the Gorrant Forest. It is a place where adventurers and businessmen like to stay. Therefore, although the place is not large, it is very prosperous.

Walking on the town street, there are pedestrians coming and going all around. Some merchants parked their carts on the side of the road and shouted loudly to use Gnar to collect the wild goods that the adventurers plucked from the mountains.

"Come, come! 2 silver nars 1 pound, a giant umbrella mushroom at a high price!"

"The horned deer just hunted from the forest! It's absolutely fresh, the fur and antler are all sold, come here with sincerity!"

"..."

Being used to the sight of Hodu, Aldrich was quite new to this lively scene, but Andrea was already used to this atmosphere and took Aldridge straight to the destination.

It seems that Andrea has come here a lot, Aldridge thought while looking at her back. However, it is understandable that since she knows the traces of the Baztan beast, she must come to investigate frequently.

At a food shop she passed by, Andrea bought some dried meat that she didn't know what kind of meat was used, and then rented a car from a donkey car dealership.

"Go to the northern border of Gorrant Forest." Andrea said to the old man driving the donkey cart.

The old man's expression changed and he shouted loudly: "North? Don't be kidding, it's very dangerous over there! Beasts often come out of the forest!"

"Two silver nars." Andrea said directly.

"...Okay!" The old man's donkey whip immediately waved, hitting the donkey to run fast.

Aldrich was silent on the side, but he felt that this scene seemed familiar.

After sitting on the donkey cart for about 20 minutes, Aldrich could already see the shadow of the forest. The arrival of autumn made the forest a layer of orange, no longer green in summer. He suddenly felt a burst of joy - it was from Urban steel jungle climbs to the joy of nature.

The Wagner Empire is in the south of the continent, and the climate is indeed more comfortable than the Fibo Empire in the north.

Autumn is the harvest season, and many specialties in the forest will also mature at this time, so there are many more adventurers. As long as Aldrich saw, there were a dozen groups of people heading for the forest in groups of three or five, or from Return of the forest.

Aldridge also knew that this was the most dangerous season. Many beasts were storing food for the winter, and they were very aggressive. Thinking of this, he couldn't help clenching the Strelin snake rod a little more.

The donkey cart turned on a path inaccessible to people, and walked forward for another 15 minutes, then stopped at the edge of the forest.

The old man driving the car lowered his voice and said, "You can only get here! I won't go into the forest."

Andrea didn't force it either, she handed him 2 silver nars and let him leave.

"Let's go in while the light is good at noon."

Aldrich looked at the forest area not far away. The trees were densely distributed, and the branches and leaves were connected like a big umbrella to block the sunlight. Only some small beams penetrated straight through.

"Um."

Andrea agreed, and the two walked quickly into the forest.

Andrea kept silent after entering the forest. She was obviously familiar with this section of the road, and she walked quickly in one direction without much hesitation. Aldridge followed her with a nervous expression, and her eyes kept looking around. , for fear that a beast would suddenly emerge from somewhere.

Under Andrea's invisible clothes, the black mist had quietly clinged to his body.

The road in the forest is difficult to walk, and you need to constantly adjust your posture, climb up and down, and jump with big strides, which consumes more physical strength than ordinary roads.

After walking for half an hour, nothing happened. Aldridge finally relaxed a little. He suddenly thought of something. He took out the white crystal chip that had been prepared earlier from the pocket of his clothes, and began to observe whether the creatures around him had extraordinary characteristics.

Flying insects, squirrels, some birds that do not migrate south, various plants, fungi... All kinds of creatures enter Aldrich's eyes through the white crystal, but there is absolutely no 'blue' that is exciting .

Although there are a lot of 'mysteries', they are definitely not everywhere... Aldridge sighed and put away the white crystal for the time being.

After walking for another full hour and a half, Andrea finally stopped.

"Arrived?" Aldrich gasped and asked in a low voice, he was too tired to walk for so long with a big bag on his back.

"It's getting close." Andrea also lowered her voice, motioning Aldridge to lower her body.

The two of them carefully bent over and walked forward, trying not to make any noise. After walking about 300 meters, Aldrich was surprised to find that the front was very bright!

Is there an open space over there?

Aldridge guessed that when they got closer, Aldridge could already see the scene over there.

It was a place about the size of half a football field in the previous life, but it was not an open space. There were overturned and overturned trees everywhere, some were broken in the middle, and some were directly thrown out of the ground with their roots. The tree trunks are stacked in a mess, surrounded by scattered soil. Of course, this is not a natural formation, but is destroyed by some kind of creature.

A little closer, Aldrich even saw a few footprints that were about the size of his head on the soil!

This was undoubtedly left by their target Baztanmon.

The two of them were completely prostrate on the ground at this time, and their luggage was also taken off and put aside so as not to interfere with the movement. Andrea had already held a tube of green medicine in a glass test tube in her hand. Aldrich knew this. It's Helmer's Pharmacy.

Why is it so quiet?

Aldridge felt strange in his heart, but his body was still moving forward a little bit. When he could finally see the scene over there from the gap in the bushes, his brows were furrowed.

"Nothing at all?"

There is no shadow of Baztanmon there.
