Chapter 122 Michelle Arrives
Bai Hao was puzzled by the village chief's words and immediately said, "Village Chief Kudou, what are you talking about? Today I plan to study the tree trunk under Anan that can continuously produce sap. Aren't you curious about how this wonderful sap is produced?"
As a herbalist, Kudou thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "Yes, the sap of Lord Anan is much more effective than many herbal decoctions made from ordinary herbs. It's a pity that Lord Anan rarely excretes sap now."
Bai Hao frowned when he heard this, because he remembered that during the few days when he and Kalia were unconscious in the Nanshu Mountains, Anan used tree sap to replace three meals a day.
"I remember that before you came, the last time I saw Lord Anan excreting tree sap was two years ago when Old Li from the next village ate something bad. At that time, Old Li was about to die in the kingdom of God. Fortunately, his boy went into the mountains to ask Lord Anan for a bowl of tree sap, otherwise..."
Ku Pocket approached Bai Hao, bent down and squatted in front of An Nan to chat, then looked at Bai Hao holding An Nan's dead tree root and laughed: "You can actually hold the treasure of Lord An Nan, I have lived for so many years and it is difficult to see it once."
At this time, the sound of the two people's conversation woke An Nan up. Seeing Bai Hao squatting in front of him holding his dead tree root and trouser pocket, An Nan asked in confusion: "Little Bai Hao, are you hungry again?"
Bai Hao felt the dry tree root in his hand twitching and quickly waved his hand to refuse, while Pocket beside him was amazed that this kid Bai Hao could actually use the precious tree sap of Lord Anan to fill his stomach.
In fact, even Anan himself couldn't figure out why he would obey the words of these two human children, and Bai Hao and Kalia gave Annan completely different feelings.
Anan always had an inexplicable sense of closeness when facing Kalia. This was exactly the same feeling he had when he slept leaning against those thousand-year-old Nan trees deep in the Nanshu Mountains. This made him feel extremely comfortable.
When Anan gets close to Bai Hao, he feels an inexplicable sense of submission, as if a soldier meets a general or a student meets a teacher. It is a sense of obedience that comes from the heart.
In fact, Anan's original plan was to live in Nannan Village for a few months before slowly exploring the outside world. However, after learning that Bai Hao wanted to go with her, Anan involuntarily changed her plan to three days.
Although Anan subjectively believed that Bai Hao was just an ordinary human child whom he loved, just like Kalia, his closeness to Kalia and his submission to Bai Hao made Anan obey them in most matters.
Anan would try his best to satisfy Bai Hao's strange magic experiments and needs for tree sap, but if Bai Hao asked Anan to do something that seriously violated his own will, such as immediately slaughtering all living things in the nearby villages or committing suicide immediately, Anan would definitely not agree to these things.
A breeze blew past Bai Hao's ears, and a simple whisper instantly echoed in Bai Hao's mind. Bai Hao immediately recognized that this was Michelle's wind speaking spell, an intermediate-level magic that used the breeze to transmit information.
Bai Hao looked calmly at the roof not far away. Three green leaves were slowly falling. Then Bai Hao curled his lips and knew that he was under Michelle's protection.
Bai Hao absolutely believed in Michelle's ability to protect him. Even though he couldn't see Michelle at all now, if he were in danger, the fastest man in the Omo Empire would appear beside him in an instant.
......
The sun was high in the sky. Goudan had just finished lunch at Erhuzi's house. At this moment, he was bare-chested and carrying an axe with Erhuzi, preparing to go out to get some firewood. The two of them were walking leisurely on a dirt road outside the village.
Gou Dan looked at Er Huzi, who was a head shorter than him, and laughed: "In a few days, I can follow my father to the Nanshu Mountains to hunt. By then, your brother Gou will definitely bring back a big wild boar for you to see!"
Erhuzi caught a cold last night and now he whined, "Don't brag, Brother Gou. It's good enough that you can find a pheasant by yourself. Do you think all the creatures in the mountains are stupid?"
"Humph, you didn't find it the first time because you're not in good health. I, your dog brother, can lift you up with one hand. What pheasant? I don't even like pheasants!"
"Hunting is not a competition of strength. Your traps are definitely not as good as mine. If you are so strong, why don't you go and hunt a bear?"
The two were arguing as they walked, and Erhuzi suddenly bumped into a tall figure. The thin Erhuzi was knocked to the ground immediately, and the snot on his face accidentally rubbed onto the man's clothes.
Erhuzi felt dazedly as if he had hit a wall. When he was about to struggle to stand up, he suddenly felt the sunlight scorching him disappear.
Kofsky looked down expressionlessly at Erhuzi, who was lying on the ground. Erhuzi felt as if he was enveloped by a tree and felt somewhat cool.
Erhuzi, who had never felt murderous aura, had no idea what the comfortable coolness and the hairs standing up on his body meant at this moment.
Kofsky bent down slightly and asked gently, "Child, Nannan Village is just ahead, right?"
Erhuzi was still a little confused at the moment, and subconsciously said: "Ah?"
"Pfft!"
A stream of blood splattered on Gou Dan's face. Gou Dan looked at the headless corpse beside him that was constantly spurting blood in disbelief. For a moment, he forgot to tremble and just stood there in a daze.
"Gudong-"
Erhuzi's head flew in a parabola into the pond beside the road, causing a splash of water, which also made the stunned Goudan react. The strong smell of blood and the fear that penetrated deep into his bones made Goudan feel nauseous.
Kofsky turned his head and looked at the trembling and retreating dog, showing his black and yellow teeth, and said in the same gentle tone as before: "Is it in front?"
"Yes, yes! It's right in front of us. Nannan Village is right in front of us. I swear!"
Seeing the incoherent dog courage, Kofsky chuckled and shook the giant sword in his hand, then asked thoughtfully: "Are the tree people from Nanshu Mountain Range and a silver-haired beautiful boy also in there?"
Although the giant sword chopped off Erhuzi's head, not a drop of blood was stained. At this moment, the smooth surface of the giant sword reflected the sunlight and it was a bit dazzling, but Goudan didn't care about it and just kept nodding vigorously.
"Okay, I'm lucky today!"
Then Kofsky glanced at Gou Dan and whispered, "Don't be afraid, I won't kill children without clothes, you can go."
After saying this, Kofsky led the knight squad and mercenaries behind him on their war horses and slowly walked towards Nannan Village, leaving behind only the still trembling dog gall and a headless corpse lying on the ground.
