Meg looked at everyone and fell silent for a while before nodding. "Actually, I received a letter today, and I've obtained Shirley's latest exact location. If we want to take action, we have to go deep into the elven territory. It's extremely dangerous."
"Then, Big Sister Shirley must be in great danger now, right?" Anna asked Meg with concern.
The others were also looking at Meg nervously. This was the first time they had heard of Shirley's exact location.
"She's slightly injured, but her condition is stable now. She's not in danger for now." Meg shook his head slightly. "However, The Wind Forest is under full lockdown now. She won't be able to escape on her own."
"If that's the case, it's easier to make mistakes if there are too many people. I'll go back and bring her back." Irina looked at Meg. "No one is more familiar with The Wind Forest than I am."
"Since that's the case, I'll have to trouble Your Highness to make the trip." Meg nodded slightly.
"She's my most capable vanguard. I naturally won't leave her there alone," Irina said matter-of-factly.
Meg turned to everyone, and said, "I know everyone is concerned about Shirley, but The Wind Forest is more than ten times more dangerous than the Falk Tribe. Our goal is to bring Shirley back safely, so we'll leave this to Princess Irina."
Everyone nodded slightly upon hearing that. Irina was far more powerful than everyone present. If only a small number of people were allowed to take action, she was undoubtedly the most suitable person.
"But … Your Highness, if you go back to the forest, Helena will definitely make you stay at all costs," Firis said worriedly. The scene of being surrounded in the goblins' underground cave was still vivid in her mind. It was too dangerous to return to The Wind Forest.
"The person who can make me stay is not born yet. As long as I want to leave, no one can make me stay." Irina patted Firis' head with a smile. "Bean Sprout, stay at home and wait for me to come back."
"I'll take my leave first," Irina glanced at Meg, then a faint golden light flashed beneath her feet, and she disappeared from the restaurant.
"Everyone, let's go back first. You might be able to see Shirley when you come tomorrow," Meg said with a smile.
Only then did everyone bid their farewells and leave.
After everyone left, Amy looked at Meg, who was closing the door, and asked doubtfully, "But Father, I don't think you told Big Sister Irina the address just now, right?"
"Aiya, I would have forgotten if you didn't mention it." Meg smacked his head, looked at Amy and Anna, and said, "Looks like only Amy and Anna can sleep first tonight. I'm going to tell Irina the address and get her to bring Shirley back."
"Uncle Meg, you can really bring Sister Shirley back, right?" Anna looked at Meg with tears in her eyes.
"Yes, we will definitely bring her back because she's a member of our restaurant. She'll always be a member." Meg went forward, and placed his hand on Anna's head gently with a smile. "Take Anna to sleep first, okay? You'll be able to see her when you wake up tomorrow morning."
"Mm-hmm." Anna nodded vigorously.
"Let's go, Big Sister Anna. Let's go to sleep first. Father and Big Sister Irina will definitely be able to bring Sister Shirley back." Amy reached out to grab Anna's hand, and led her upstairs.
"Meow ~"
Ugly Duckling wagged its tail and followed behind the two of them.
"I'm leaving now." Meg turned to leave, and closed the door slowly.
"Father, you must come back safely!" Amy's voice sounded from behind the door.
"We will." Meg's lips curled up, and he disappeared from the restaurant's door.
Five minutes later, on the peak of a stone mountain outside the city, Irina was already sitting on the griffin's back. She turned her head to look at Meg, who was sitting behind her. "Is it news from the Gray Temple?"
"No, the Gray Temple hasn't received any concrete news about Shirley yet." Meg shook his head.
"You lied to them?" Irina frowned.
"No." Meg shook his head with a smile. "An old friend wrote me a letter and told me Shirley's exact location."
"An old friend? A woman? "Irina's eyes narrowed slightly.
"See for yourself." Meg felt an unusual murderous aura. He obediently took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Irina. At the same time, he said, "Let's go, Ah Zi. Let's explore The Wind Forest at night!"
"Howl ~"
Ah Zi let out a joyful cry. With a flap of its wings, it disappeared into the sky like a sharp arrow.
…
"Cough, cough …"
In a dimly lit room, a muffled cough sounded.
The dim candlelight fell on the pale face on the bed. It still couldn't hide his handsomeness, but the pair of almond-shaped eyes that were usually lively couldn't hide the tiredness.
He covered his mouth with a handkerchief and coughed twice to restrain himself. His good-looking eyebrows were twisted in pain. After a while, he removed his hand from his mouth. The white handkerchief was stained with blood. He put his hand on the edge of the bed to prevent the handkerchief from staining the white blanket.
"Creak." The sound of the door opening sounded. His body tensed up immediately. His right hand was already holding the sword hidden under the pillow.
However, the door was quickly closed, followed by the sound of light footsteps.
He relaxed his expression and let go of the sword.
"I came back a little late today. I didn't find anything suitable for you to eat. There are only two fruits." Sally, who was wearing a rather luxurious long dress, came forward. She took out two red wild fruits and placed them on the wooden table beside the bed. Then, she took out a small flask. "This is a small flask of Holy Water of Life. It will be of some help to your injuries."
Blour supported himself on the bed and sat up slowly. He looked at Sally seriously, and said, "Thank you."
"It's alright. This is what I should do." A smile appeared on Sally's tired face. She passed the fruits to Blour and helped him open the flask before sitting down on the wooden chair at the side.
The two of them were silent. Only the soft sound of Blour chewing the wild fruits could be heard in the room.
The two fruits were finished in a short while. After drinking the Holy Water of Life, Blour's pale face regained some color.
Sally helped him keep the flask, and softly said, "I wrote a letter to Mr. Meg."
Blour's expression froze. He shook his head slightly, and said, "I shouldn't have told them."
"The search for you has intensified in the past few days. Helena gave a death order to find you at all costs. She also offered a very high reward. With our strength, we won't be able to let you leave The Wind Forest safely." Sally was a little dejected. "Helena wants me to go to the Tree of Life. I'm afraid I can't help you too much."
