Twig was brought by Ahr all the way to a forest on the edge of the High Elves' settlement.
There were all kinds of creatures living in this forest, and it was an indispensable 'circle' for Assequero. In addition, because the other side of the forest was the Forgotten Land, there were always patrols inside the forest.
If Twig was discovered by those patrols, not only would Ahr face a longer period of confinement, even she might be locked up in the Meditation Hall.
However, Twig felt that instead of worrying about when they would bump into the patrols, she might as well worry about when she would fall to the ground from exhaustion!
Twig had never been so hungry in her life, and the hunger in her stomach made her fall into a state of weakness. Ahr, who was full of energy at first, gradually slowed down her pace because of the hunger.
What happened to Assequero?
Twig felt the magic in her body, and there was no decrease at all, which meant that the holy tree was still in good condition. However, the frequent hunger made Twig very uncomfortable.
If this change started yesterday, then she had not eaten anything for almost a whole day.
"Twig … Have we reached the Forgotten Land?"
Ahr was so tired that she could not run anymore, so she could only let Twig hold her hand and walk forward.
"No …"
Twig forced herself to walk deeper into the forest, and at the same time, she was vigilant of all the movements around her.
She did not even have the ability to escape when she met the patrols in such a weak state.
"Are we there now?" Ahr asked again after walking a few steps.
"No, we seem to be lost."
Twig glanced at the surroundings of the forest. She remembered that the elders seemed to have set up a magic circle to confuse intruders at the edge of the forest. Any creature that approached the Forgotten Land would seem to have entered a maze.
"There seems to be a bird on the tree." Ahr suddenly said.
This surprised Twig slightly, and she immediately turned around and gently patted Ahr's cheek with both hands.
"Wake up, don't use magic here, it will attract the patrols!"
"But I'm starving."
Ahr's hunger was far beyond Leaf's expectation. Perhaps it was because she needed to maintain a large amount of mana in her body, but before Leaf could say anything, Ahr's body fell backwards.
Zhi Ye quickly grabbed Ahr. After a moment of silence, she could only carry Ahr, who had fainted from hunger, on her back.
Perhaps she should take the initiative to explain to the inspector? If they continued to get lost in this forest, they would very likely become the first pair of High Elves to starve to death at their own doorstep.
However, Zhiye did not do that. A strange belief supported her to carry Ahr deeper into the forest.
The hunger made her consciousness go blurry. In the end, Zhi Ye had no idea how long she had been walking. When she took the next step, she slid down a slope.
Finally, Zhiye fell into a pile of wet leaves. The feeling of exhaustion swept over her, and she felt that she could not even open her eyes.
But vaguely, Zhiye seemed to smell a fragrance, a fragrance that she seemed to have smelled somewhere before, but her head was too heavy, and she could not recall it.
Wait … is this the fragrance of food?
Zhiye struggled to support her body, and the moment she wanted to continue carrying Ahr in that direction, Ahr, who was originally unconscious, suddenly woke up.
Vaguely, Zhiye seemed to see her eyes emitting a star-like light.
"It's a cake!" Ahr's excited voice echoed in Zhiye's ears.
Zhiye could only lie on the ground and watch as Ahr, who should have lost his strength, suddenly stood up and quickly disappeared from her sight.
But not long after, Ahr seemed to remember that he had forgotten something. He turned back in an instant and carried Zhiye on his back.
Ahr ran out of the forest with Zhiye. The dazzling sunlight made it difficult for Zhiye's eyes to adapt. After a while, Zhiye gradually saw the scenery in the distance.
The Forgotten Land!
From the outside, it looked like a hill that had been covered with vines and moss, but how could there be a tavern in such an abandoned place?
Wait … Zhiye did not see a tavern, but she saw a small wooden cart at the entrance of the Forgotten Land. The fragrance of the cake came from that cart.
"Wait … Ahr!"
Zhiye wanted to remind Ahr that there was a defensive magic circle around the Forgotten Land.
"And baking cookies!"
But Ahr's mind was already controlled by her appetite, and she ran directly to the cart.
The defensive magic circle around the Forgotten Land did not work, and Ahr easily passed through the magic barrier with Zhiye and came in front of the cart.
At this time, Zhiye also saw the figure standing next to the cart. It was a … very beautiful 'human girl'.
"Why are you … here?"
Zhiye realized that it was not normal for humans to appear in Assequero. In the worst case, it would bring a devastating disaster to Assequero.
"I want a strawberry cake and a pack of blueberry cookies, thank you!"
But before the 'human girl' could respond to Zhiye's question, Ahr directly said what he wanted.
The 'human girl' also very cooperatively packed the things on the cart and handed them to Ahr.
"Well … Can I pay with my magic net savings here?"
Ahr had been to Noland and knew that humans needed money to exchange goods, but she did not have any human currency on her.
"You don't have to pay, these are all free."
When the 'human girl' said this, Zhiye felt that something was wrong. Just as she was about to remind Ahr to be careful of poison, Ahr had already stuffed the cake directly into his mouth.
"Zhiye, if you don't mind, you can eat the cookies." Ahr felt Zhiye's gaze, and seemed to think that she was looking at her with such a scary gaze because she ate the cake.
"…"
Zhiye fell into a long silence again. She looked at the bag of cookies that Ahr handed over, which had a mixture of blueberry and milk fragrance. For someone who was already hungry, this was definitely an irresistible temptation.
So Zhiye swallowed her saliva, looked at Ahr who was still safe after eating the cake, and was about to take a piece of cookie to taste …
"What are you doing there!"
A stern reprimand came from behind. Zhi Ye turned around … The worst scene she had expected still happened.
The High Elves' patrol team had found this place! She looked at the 'human girl' again. She seemed to be in a state of panic, and did not look like a Warrior at all.
"Ino, don't worry about the cart, just run back here!"
The magic net interface appeared in front of her, and Zhiye knew the name of the person in front of her. Zhiye decided to negotiate with the High Elves' patrol team, but unfortunately, Ahr carried her in the next second.
"This is the time to run," Ahr said with a mouth full of cake.
"Put me down!"
