Chapter 913 Entering the Black Forest

The airship flew very fast, and in just half a day, it completely flew out of the Fran royal family's direct territory and arrived at the nearby province of Joseph, the province closest to the Black Forest.

Although Leo and Sylvia wanted to drive the airship directly into the Black Forest, the fuel and condition on the airship were not enough to support them to continue their journey.

From the people on the airship, they were originally planning to fly the airship for a flight test around the city, which was a short-distance flight. The architecture and manufacturing materials of the airship themselves did not have the ability to fly long-distance high-speed. Flying out of the royal territory from Donglin City has reached the limit that the airship can bear. Leo's spiritual network has sensed that many connection points on the airship have been loose, and it seems that they will fall apart in a short time.

In addition, the fuel compartment of this short-range airship is very small. If you only fly around the city at normal speed, judging by the amount of charcoal in the fuel compartment is enough to allow the airship to undergo dozens of flight tests. However, Leo and Sylvia have allowed the airship to fly at the highest speed from the beginning, and the fuel consumed naturally increases exponentially. It is already very good to be able to fly out of the royal territory and enter the province of Joseph.

After confirming the situation, Leo and Sylvia decided to land the airship and then go from land to the Black Forest.

After making the decision, Sylvia found a mountain clearing land near an unknown town and landed on it.

However, when the airship landed, an unexpected thing suddenly happened. A large number of birds flew out of the woods in the mountains and rushed towards the airship like crazy, trying to attack the giant wrapped in iron with flesh and blood.

"Damn it, why did a bird disaster suddenly break out?" Seeing a large number of birds forming a black cloud and rushing towards the airship like crazy, Sylvia accelerated the landing speed.

Originally, Leo and Sylvia did not have any abnormal accidents after seeing the airship flying out of Donglin City, so they thought that the airship, like Louis X, added some means to stop bird attacks, and then successfully flew as if confirming their speculation, but now it seems that their speculations are all wrong.

"Continue to land, leave them to me." Although the airship had landed at the fastest speed, it was still unable to compare with the attack speed of birds. As the birds were about to touch the airship, Leo said to Sylvia, and then the fantasy of the stone throne formed in his mind.

A force emanated from him instantly. This force was somewhat similar to the power that enveloped the Flan Palace, but it was very different. The biggest difference was that the power in the palace was extremely powerful, strong enough to block all extraordinary powers, but the power emitted by Leo was obviously incomparable to it.

Furthermore, the power in the palace cannot be felt by ordinary people, and even ordinary people can feel Leo's power, even affected. For example, the prisoners in the cabin were all unconscious because they could not bear the influence of this power on their spirit.

Ordinary people cannot resist the spiritual impact of this power, so the birds that were leaning over naturally became even more irresistible. They fell to the ground one by one like rain. Soon all the birds nearby attracted by airships fell to death on the ground.

Seeing that the threat was gone, Sylvia also adjusted the speed of the descent, and soon the airship landed steadily on the ground.

Leo destroyed the rudder on the airship, in case the people they captured drove the airship to nearby towns and spread their news, causing unnecessary trouble.

"From our current location, this is either Bent or Bree, which is a remote town. Let's go to the town to see if there are any carriages? Maybe you can go directly to the Black Forest by taking the Timber Avenue." Sylvia looked at the town looming in the distance at the foot of the mountain from the flight deck and said.

Although Leo learned a lot about the geography of various provinces of Flan, he knew very little about the situation on the ground, so he did not add anything to Sylvia's proposal, and he just nodded in agreement.

After loosening the unconscious prisoners, the two left the airship and rushed towards the small village at the foot of the mountain.

Although the mountain road is difficult to walk, it is nothing to the two of them. It took less than a quarter of an hour to walk out of the mountains and into the town.

At this time, people in the town were talking about the commotion caused by the large number of birds just now. Because Leo and his team were blocked by a small hill, they did not see the airship. They just thought that something terrifying came from the forest, which caused the scene of birds flying everywhere.

From the conversations between people in the town, Leo and Sylvia knew that a mutant had lost control and cannibalism happened here not long ago. Although the mutant was solved in time by the Empire's special operations office, the impact on ordinary people in the town has not subsided until now. When everyone saw birds moving, they took out various weapons and were nervous and wary, as if an unexpected battle would occur at any time.

In this case, the arrival of the two foreigners, Leo and Sylvia, naturally attracted the attention of the people from the town, but they did not have any bad intentions for the two, because they were both wearing scholarly clothes, and both were high-level scholarly clothes, and had an extraordinary status within the empire.

"Two scholars, are you here in our Bent Town for the movement that happened on the mountain just now?" After hearing the news from his subordinates, the town mayor rushed over immediately. As a local official, he easily identified the two of them as royal scholars from their academic costumes, and immediately came up and asked with a humble attitude.

Seeing that the town mayor misunderstood their identities, Sylvia took the trick and said in a very pure imperial aristocratic accent: "Yes, we came for the things on the mountain."

Hearing Sylvia's words, the town mayor immediately showed a worried look on his face. It was obvious that the mutant cannibalism that had happened before had brought him a huge shadow.

Sylvia then said, "But don't worry, the matter has been resolved. After a few days, others will come to clean up the mess. You'd better tell the people in the town not to go up the mountain these days, so as not to have any accidents."

The town mayor couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this, and nodded quickly and said, "Okay, OK! I will definitely restrict the people in the town from going up the mountain."

Sylvia ordered again: "Otherwise, our mounts are no longer available. I need you to prepare the best carriage in the town."

"Yes, yes, I'll ask someone to prepare immediately." When the town mayor heard the instructions, he dared to ask something, so he quickly took the steps and prepared the carriage for Sylvia and Leo.

After waiting for a while, the two saw a gorgeous carriage led by four strong pack beasts coming and docking in front of them. Then the town mayor jumped out of the carriage.

Sylvia wrote an IOU casually, then took out the scholar's badge and stamped it on the note, handed it to the town mayor, and said, "In a few days, someone will come to deal with the matter on the mountain. If you hand over this IOU to him, he will return the car to you."

Before, the town mayor was somewhat suspicious of the identities of Sylvia and Leo. After all, the royal scholar appeared in the mountains to deal with those mysterious things, and there was no one to protect him. It was strange no matter how you look at it, but now Sylvia's behavior dispelled his doubts. He borrowed the IOU and glanced at it, then put it in his pocket, and said: "The old heel is the best carriage driver in our town..."

"No need!" Sylvia shook her head, jumped onto the carriage, signaling the driver to leave, and then after Leo got onto the carriage, he shook the reins and skillfully controlled the carriage to the road leading to the Timber Avenue.

Seeing Sylvia drive away by himself, the town mayor's already weakened suspicion reappeared, but he soon realized that even if he doubted it now, it would be useless. He could only hope that in a few days, someone would come here to deal with the matter on the mountain as Sylvia said.

As the mayor of the town said, the carriage he took out was indeed the best carriage. Not only was the carriage equipped with the latest shock-proof springs, but the materials used to make the carriage were also the best red iron wood. This wood is not only tough, but also extremely wear-resistant, and is even easier to use than steel in some special places.

In addition, the four pack animals in the carriage are also old pack animals. They know how to choose roads to run, how to reduce the vibration when pulling the carriage, and how to cooperate with each other to make the carriage drive very quickly.

After the carriage drove to the Timber Avenue, the speed also began to accelerate as Sylvia could drive. According to this speed, it would only take one day at most to reach the border of the Black Forest.

The Timber Avenue is the main road in various provinces in the northern part of the empire. This road runs through the seven provinces in the northern part of the empire. It reaches the east coast to the east and the west to the Black Forest. This road is also one of the most important business roads in the empire.

The reason why this avenue is called a timber avenue is that when this avenue was built, it was a temporary road dedicated to transporting the wood needed for the construction of the imperial capital. However, the builders at that time did not expect that this road would eventually be preserved and become the main road of the empire.

At that time, there was a large area of ​​primeval forest outside the Black Forest. There were a large amount of precious wood inside the forest. These woods were very suitable for making some wooden structures, and also suitable for making high-end furniture, etc. From the construction of the imperial capital to the next few hundred years, all the wood used by the royal capital, whether in the royal family or the people, came from the primeval forest outside the Black Forest.

However, no matter how lush the forest is, it is impossible to withstand hundreds of years of deforestation. Now, there are few woods transported by this timber avenue. Most of them are plantation products, and some rare specialties in the Black Forest.

There is never a shortage of people who take risks for money in this world. Although everyone knows that the Black Forest is dangerous, there are still many people who are willing to venture into the Black Forest, because as long as they bring out a precious Black Forest item alive, whether it is a plant, an animal, or even a piece of stone that has never been seen outside, they can obtain an amazing amount of wealth.

Dashu Town is such a Black Forest town dominated by adventurers. Just like the Rabbit Pi Town that Leo once visited, it is a town built for resources in the Black Forest. However, unlike Rabbit Pi Town, this town mainly targets the rare animals and plants deep in the Black Forest.

No one knows why adventurers in Dashu Town can make achievements in the Black Forest repeatedly. They only know what precious items related to the Black Forest are just to find adventurers in Dashu Town. The only flaw is that the price is a bit expensive.

The people in Dashu Town have always made a living by this. Each generation of them will take over the position of their fathers and become adventurers in the Black Forest.

They travel through the Black Forest by their ancestors. As long as they do not violate the rules of the Black Forest, most of them can walk out of the Black Forest alive. Only those outsiders who do not respect the Black Forest will be captured by the Black Forest and become part of the Black Forest.

However, in the past one or two years, adventurers in Dashu Town have become less and less difficult, because they found that the methods passed down by their ancestors have begun to become a little unstable. Sometimes they can have good results, but sometimes they are useless. This change has also caused a lot of casualties in Dashu Town, which has begun to have adverse effects on the population of Dashu Town.

It is precisely for this reason that the town council in Dashu Town has also begun to discuss whether it should change careers and no longer venture into the Black Forest to find various precious creatures for a living.

For Dashu Town, although it is difficult to change careers, it is not impossible to do too much. After all, every household in Dashu Town has been in this business for many years, and being able to survive will inevitably accumulate some money. It is not difficult to buy nearby land and convert it into a plantation.

However, most people in the town are still coveting the huge bounties for the unique creatures of the Black Forest. Especially the changes in the Black Forest over the years have not only affected Dashu Town, but all the towns around the Black Forest have been affected. This has also made the unique animals and plants of the Black Forest on the market rare in the daytime, and the acquisition price has also risen. The latest price has been more than ten times higher than before, which can be said to be huge profits.

Therefore, the discussion on career change has been held for the fourth time, and there is still no result. Even before this parliamentary discussion, an adventure team composed of seven veterans had an accident in the Black Forest, which did not wake up those who were fascinated by interests.

Although there was no result in the issue of career change discussed, the other participants in the parliament had a result of the discussion, which was the handling of outside adventurers.
