Angelet didn't care about the actions of the girl in red. He stood at the window and looked at the heavy rain outside. Moisture vapor splashed in from the window, making the surface of his clothes even wet.
Chirp!!
Suddenly, at the door of the mill, the sound of flapping wings and the chirping of birds could be heard.
A big white bird half as tall as a man slowly landed at the door, swaying and shaking off the rainwater, and walked into the mill. This big white bird looked similar to an eagle. But its feathers were white and its beak was red.
The translucent red and black eyes like gemstones are very smart. If you just look at the eyes, you might think they are human eyes.
It walked slowly in and looked around at the humans in the mill.
"You humans, you don't mind if I come here to take shelter from the rain?" White Bird actually spoke in standard Angmar language as soon as he opened his mouth. His voice was smooth and powerful, like the voice of a middle-aged man.
"Of course. This is just a public place, the handsome Bayrutine Eagle." The girl in red smiled and took the initiative to say. The middle-aged man and old woman behind him also stood up and bowed to it from afar.
The two coachmen bowed their heads in awe and followed suit with a look of fear.
The Byrutine Eagle nodded, as if he was used to this kind of respect from humans. His eyes turned and fell on Angelet who was standing by the window on one side.
"My clan name is Kongbas, you can call me Mr. Kongbas. I came to Lennon City to track down a gray rat. If any of you see it, please tell me directly and I will report it to you.
The kingdom’s upper echelons report truthfully. There will be very generous rewards.”
Angelet frowned slightly.
"Are you talking about the kind of rat that is covered in flames? And it leaves black ashes wherever it crawls?" He suddenly asked. "Does this species still exist now?"
"You also know?" Kongbas's eyes showed a hint of surprise. He also used honorifics in his title. Although it is one of the empire's guardian groups, its status is equivalent to a knighthood, and it is born with the strength of a reserve knight. But when encountering
Strong people at certain levels must also show enough respect. This is the rule.
People who can know the detailed information of ancient species like the Cinder Rat are either knowledgeable masters or well-informed adventurers. People who master knowledge are always respected. Even if they are not strong, they are worthy of his respect.
"Of course I know, I saw the record in a book." Angelet nodded. "As far as I know, the gray rat was almost extinct a hundred years ago because of its extremely low reproductive capacity. Why now...
?”
Kongbas nodded and said: "You are indeed very knowledgeable. This gray rat will be of great help to the kingdom in curing the plague. I don't know the details. I am just following orders."
"That's it... I'm sorry to disappoint you. I haven't seen it either. But I can provide you with information. Gray rats generally like to hide in the hottest places in human settlements, such as large fireplaces...
." Angelet smiled.
"Is that so? This is a very good key." Kongbas's eyes lit up, "Erut, tell me your name. If you find the target through this, I will remember your favor this time."
"My name is Angele, Angelelio." Angele said with a smile.
The girl in red on one side and the others could only listen and could not speak at all. They did not even look at Angelet with respect for his erudition. They were completely different from the beginning.
Angelet and Kongbas talked for a few more words, then they both fell silent and waited quietly for the rain to stop.
The Byrutine Eagle is one of the recognized guardian groups of the Kingdom of Lamu. It is a powerful species with a high status in the Kingdom. Their intelligence is the same as that of humans. Although they are very few in number, each giant eagle has strong strength.
And sharp claws, enough to hunt a variety of ferocious beasts. This phenomenon of humans coexisting with other species can only be seen on the continent across the sea. In Angele's hometown, there are only humans and the rest.
Most of the highly intelligent species have migrated away. Only occasionally related legends can be seen in very ancient books.
However, in recent years, the number of Byrutine eagles has begun to rebound rapidly. It is not surprising to see their shadows occasionally around the kingdom.
As time went by, the rain gradually became lighter.
At 10:12, it just stopped completely.
Angelet patted his clothes and was the first to walk out of the mill. Behind him were Kongbas, who waddled out, as well as the girl in red and others.
Angelet got on the carriage, and Tom was about to drive away.
"Please wait a moment, Mr. Angelet." Kongbas's voice came from the side. It flapped its wings and flew to the roof of the carriage.
"Is there anything else?" Angelet asked doubtfully.
Kongbas turned his beak and pulled a white feather, then gently threw it forward.
The feather slowly floated towards Angelet's head and was gently caught by him.
"This is one of my feathers. Maybe I will come to ask you some questions in the future. Let this feather serve as a small reward."
"Thank you very much." Angele nodded, holding the white feather in his hand, Kongbas quickly flapped his wings and flew into the sky, quickly flying towards the distance. He soon disappeared in the distance.
Angele picked up the feathers and looked at them carefully. They were similar to the feathers of ordinary pigeons, except that they were larger and harder. They felt a bit like white iron tree leaves. The tips of the feathers were very sharp and could easily prick your hand if you were not careful.
The light yellow wing tubes are connected with snow-white feathers, which look very beautiful.
"It is said that the Byrutine Eagle can find the corresponding place and location with its own feathers. However, this effect can only last for three days." The corresponding knowledge flowed through Angelet's heart. This is what he read in the college library.
knowledge in miscellaneous books.
"And the main purpose of this feather is to repel insects. Most bugs will naturally avoid the five to six meters range of the feather, so you don't have to worry about mosquito bites." Angele put it under his nose and smelled it.
Smell, there is a faint mint aroma.
"Let's go, Tom." He put the feathers into his waist bag and said calmly.
Tom, who was looking in the direction where Kongbas was leaving, was amazed and immediately pulled the reins.
"Okay sir."
Amidst the sound of horse hooves, the carriage slowly left the mill and headed towards the main road... After leaving the mill, Angelet and Tom continued on the road for more than ten days, stopping in a small town for a day for supplies, and then continued towards the road.
Head northwest of the kingdom.
It rained continuously along the way, and the temperature became lower and lower. The surrounding woods and grasslands gradually became withered, yellow and bare. More and more large and small white stones appeared in the surrounding environment, and the original plain areas also began to change.
into rugged mountainous terrain.
At the beginning, I could occasionally encounter some pedestrians, caravans, and carriages, but gradually I rarely encountered other people.
Fifteen days later...
Between the snow-covered mountains are large blue-black canyons. In one of the canyons, a hazy white mist filled the air. A vague white lane was winding, and a black carriage was driving on it, pulled by two white horses.
Double carriage.
Bang!!
The wheels of the carriage hit hard on a sharp stone, causing violent shaking and noise. The two white horses neighed loudly in pain. A large number of birds flew up in the woods on both sides. For a while, the sound of taking off and the chirping of birds were endless.
.
"What's going on?" Angelet woke up from his sleep, opened the curtain and looked forward.
"Master, the wheel has been hit. It may need to be replaced. The spare one is hanging on the back. It may be necessary to stop and wait for a while." Tom said loudly.
Angelet frowned, stood up and got out of the carriage.
Surrounded by sparse tall pine trees, the leaves are dark green, and each one is very tall and straight. The ground is full of uneven stones, and occasionally green grass can be seen arching out from under the cracks in the stones.
The air is also much colder and drier.
When Angelet got out of the car, she felt a cool breeze blowing against her face, and the skin on her face felt a little tight.
"How long will it take to repair it? This is already the Meuse Mountains, and the nearest town is at least five days away. Stopping here is not a good thing."
Tom shrugged: "Master, one hour at most."
"Okay. Thanks to you this time, my monthly salary will be doubled when I go back." Angelet said calmly, "I will walk around. If you need something, just shout, I can hear you."
"Got it." Tom smiled, walked behind the carriage, and began to take off the spare wheel hanging on the back.
Angele felt a little cold, so he took a white coat from the car and put it on. The furry white collar completely wrapped his entire neck, and he felt very warm. With his bow and arrow and dagger, he slowly entered the room on the right.
forest.
Along the way, he never missed any opportunity to add to the chip database. He left this time to see if there were any new plant species that had not been recorded before.
After walking forward for a while, Angele squatted down and leaned under a black pine tree, observing a black umbrella-shaped mushroom at the foot of the tree. There were white spots on a black background on the outside of the mushroom, and several yellow flying ants were crawling around on it.
go.
Angele squatted down and caused the ants to leave quickly. The feathers of the Byrutine Eagle seemed to have a good effect.
"Outsiders, please stay away from my black-spotted mushrooms, okay?" A childish voice came from above Angele's head.
Angelet raised his head and saw a fluffy brown squirrel huddled in a ball on the branch of a pine tree, staring at him. There was a small tuft of white fur at the tip of the squirrel's tail.
"You planted this?" Angelet asked. "But you are just a squirrel. This is the first time I have seen a talking squirrel."
"Of course. This is Ram's kingdom. Many intelligent races migrated in a long time ago, but many races don't like to be close to the city." The squirrel shook its butt, flicked its big tail, and jumped off the squirrel in a graceful manner.
And down.
Snapped!
It landed steadily on the edge of the black-spotted mushroom. (To be continued... rq
