15 days later …
"I see … Sorry to disappoint you, I haven't seen it either. However, I can tell you one thing. Ash Rodents like to hide in the hottest places in human settlements, such as large fireplaces … "Angele smiled.
* PA *
Amidst the sound of hooves, the carriage slowly left the mill and headed towards the main road.
As time went by, the rain became lighter.
The feather slowly flew to Angele's head. Angele caught it with his hand.
Between the snow-covered mountains were many greenish-black canyons. In one of the canyons, a white mist pervaded the air, and a white winding road was faintly discernible. On it was a black carriage pulled by two white horses, and it was a double-row carriage.
Angele raised his head and saw a brown squirrel staring at him from the branch of a pine tree. The squirrel had white fur on the tip of its tail.
The light yellow wings were connected to snow-white feathers, looking very beautiful.
The squirrel landed beside the Black Spot Mushroom.
"Outsider, can you please stay away from my Black Spot Mushroom?" A young voice came from above Angele's head.
"What's going on?" Angele woke up from his sleep and looked at the front of the carriage.
"What's going on?" Angele was confused.
"Of course, I read about it in a book." Angele nodded. "As far as I know, Ash Rats have a low reproductive rate and they went extinct about a hundred years ago. How come …? "
Angele scrunched his eyebrows and got off the carriage.
There were tall pine trees around the area. The leaves were dark green, and they were tall and straight. The ground was covered with uneven rocks, and Angele could see green grass growing out of the gaps between the rocks. The air was cold and dry.
Angele chatted with Conbass for a while and waited for the rain to stop.
Those who could know such detailed information about an ancient species like the Ash Rat were either knowledgeable masters or experienced adventurers. Those who possessed knowledge were always respected by others. Even if they were not strong, they still deserved his respect.
"Master, one of the wheels was hit. We need to change it. There's a spare one in the back. We need to wait for a while," Tom said.
"You know about it too?" Kongbas's eyes shone with surprise. He even used honorifics when addressing her. As one of the guardian races of the Empire, its status was equivalent to that of a Knight, and it had the strength of a Preparatory Knight. However, it was necessary to show enough respect when encountering experts of a certain level. These were the rules.
"Please wait, Mr. Angele." Conbass's voice came from the side. It flapped its wings and flew to the top of the carriage.
Bang!!
After leaving the mill, Angele and Tom traveled for more than ten days. They stopped at a small town to replenish their supplies before heading to the northwest of the kingdom.
"Yes, Master."
Conbass pulled out a white feather with his beak and tossed it forward.
In the beginning, they would occasionally meet some pedestrians, caravans, and carriages, but gradually, they would rarely meet other people.
"Did you plant them?" Angele asked. "But you're just a squirrel. This is the first time I've seen a talking squirrel. "
Angele did not care about what the girl was doing. He stood by the window and looked at the rain outside. The moist water vapor splashed in from the window, and even the surface of his clothes became wet.
"I see." Tom smiled, and went to the back of the wagon, where he began to take down the spare wheel that hung behind.
Angele felt a bit cold, so he grabbed a white coat from the carriage and put it on. The white coat covered his neck, and it felt warm. He put on his bow and dagger and slowly entered the forest on the right side.
However, the number of Eagles of Byrutin had been increasing rapidly in recent years. It was not surprising that they could be seen around the kingdom from time to time.
Angele's eyebrows furrowed.
The red-clothed girl and the others could only listen from the side, unable to interject at all. They all looked at Angele respectfully from time to time. Angele looked like a completely different person.
"Alright. Thanks for your help. I'll double your salary when we get back, "Angele said in a light tone." I'll take a walk around. Shout if you need anything. I can hear you. "
"This is one of my feathers. Maybe I'll ask you some questions in the future. Take this feather as a small reward."
The two coachmen bowed their heads in awe and followed suit. Their faces were filled with fear.
"How long do you need to repair it? This is the Moss Mountain, and the nearest town is at least five days away. It's not a good idea to stop here. "
The Eagle of Byrutin nodded. It seemed like he was used to the respect from the humans. He turned his head and looked at Angele, who was standing by the window.
"Of course. This is a public place, handsome Eagle of Byrutin. "The girl smiled and stepped forward. The middle-aged man and the old woman stood up and bowed to the eagle.
Angele picked up the feather and observed it carefully. It looked like a pigeon's feather, but it was bigger and harder. The tip of the feather was sharp, and he could easily cut his hand.
"My family name is Conbass. You can call me Mr. Conbass. I came to Lennon City to find an Ash Rat. If you see it, please tell me. I'll report it to the higher-ups of your kingdom. You'll be rewarded handsomely. "
The Eagle of Byrutin was one of the guardian species of the Ramsoda Kingdom. It was a powerful species that had a high status in the kingdom. Their intelligence was almost the same as humans. Although there were only a few of them, each of them had strong strength and sharp claws. They could easily kill a lot of wild beasts. This phenomenon of humans coexisting with other species could only be seen on the continent across the sea. In Angele's hometown, there were only humans living there. All the other intelligent species had already left. Only in very ancient books could one occasionally find related legends.
'Also, the main purpose of this feather is to repel insects. Normal insects will stay away from the feather, so I don't have to worry about being bitten by mosquitoes.' Angele sniffed the feather. It smelled like mint.
"Thank you very much." Angele nodded and held the feather in his hand. Conbass flapped his wings and flew into the sky. He quickly disappeared into the distance.
"Let's go, Tom." He put the feather into his pouch and said.
* CHI CHI *
Angele felt the chilling wind blowing on his face as he got off the car. He could feel the tension on his face.
"My name is Angele, Angele Rio." Angele smiled.
He did not miss any chance to increase the information in the chip's database. He wanted to see if there were any new plants that he had not recorded before.
The wheels of the carriage crashed into a sharp rock, causing it to shake violently and make a loud noise. The two white horses neighed in pain. The birds on both sides of the road were startled. The noise made by the birds and the birds kept chirping.
At 10: 12, the rain stopped.
* BAM *
"Are you talking about the kind of rats that are covered in flames? The ones that leave black ashes on the ground? "Angele suddenly asked. "Do they still exist?"
"Of course. This is the Ramsoda Kingdom. Many intelligent races have migrated here a long time ago, but most of them don't like to stay close to cities. "The squirrel swung its tail and jumped down from the squirrel.
A large white bird that was about half the size of a human landed by the gate. It shook the rainwater off its body and entered the mill. The big white bird looked like an eagle. However, its feathers were white and its beak was red. Its beak was translucent like a gem. The bird's black eyes were full of life. Angele could easily mistake it for a human's eyes.
Angele crouched and the ants quickly left the area. It seemed like the feathers of the Byrutine Eagle were quite effective.
"I'm here to hide from the rain. Do you mind, human?" The white bird spoke in the Anmag language. The bird's voice was strong and it sounded like a middle-aged man's voice.
Tom, who was looking at the direction Conbass left, immediately pulled the reins.
Conbass nodded. "You're a knowledgeable man. This Ash Rat will help the kingdom cure the plague. I don't know the details, I'm just following orders. "
Angele walked for a while and crouched down. He leaned against a black pine tree and observed a black mushroom that looked like an umbrella. The mushroom was covered with white spots and there were several yellow flying ants crawling on its surface.
Tom shrugged. "Master, one hour at most."
'I heard that the Byrutine Eagle can find its target by using its feathers. However, the effect will only last for three days. 'Angele checked the relevant information in his mind. He learned it from the books he read in the school's library.
Angele got on the carriage and Tom was about to leave.
Angele wiped the dust off his clothes and walked out of the mill first. Behind him was Conbass, the girl in red, and the others who walked out swaggeringly.
He slowly walked into the mill and glanced at the humans in the mill.
It was raining and the temperature was getting lower and lower. The trees and grasses around the mill turned yellow and barren. More and more large and small white stones appeared in the surrounding environment, and the original plain area also began to change into uneven mountains.
Suddenly, Angele heard the sound of wings flapping and birds chirping in front of the mill.
"Is that so? That's a good idea. " Conbass' eyes lit up. "Master, tell me your name. If I can find the target, I'll owe you a favor."
