Where the Wind Rises (9)

Weit had a very detailed map on his hand. Without alarming the guards, they followed the path to the edge of the reserve. The high guardrails had no power on, but there was no trace of being bitten by wild beasts.

"There are sound waves driving specific animals on the ruins," Weitt said. "It's quite safe around it. It is said that when the Brittan Empire developed this place, it almost wiped out all the more dangerous mutant animals in Mount Singa. Now there are probably only some hidden in the deep mountains."

And what they are going to is the deep mountains.

"I also found someone to get a map, although it was from decades ago..." He pressed and pressed his wrist armor. Before he could make the map come out, the guardrail in front of him had already cut a square "door".

The poor bounty hunter glanced at the universal light knife that Ampet had just put away - let's not say anything else, this group of people are really rich!

Rich, and really, as rumored, "very obedient".

After they got out, Ampie changed his tool and easily welded the railing he had cut back.

"...We're going to come back, right?" Weiter really couldn't understand such a waste of time.

"Just cut it open then." Ampett seemed unable to understand his confusion, "It would be bad if there was really a beast that got in."

The speechless bounty hunter finally became quiet.

After walking in the deep mountains and forests for less than a day, Weit realized that these people actually didn’t have to cut the guardrail at all... They could climb over, or even jump directly - the guy with sharp ears was simply terrible jumping ability!

Yes, of course, they also brought a child, but that guy with light blue eyes has wings!!

The excessive shock made him quiet for a longer time, but in the end he couldn't help asking.

"...Because it's faster and more convenient to use a light knife?" An Feili looked puzzled, thinking that the bounty hunter's brain was sometimes effective and sometimes not. I don't know if he was pretending to be stupid.

Of course, Weitt would not think there was something wrong with his brain. He thought that he was good except for his bad luck. He began to doubt whether there was surveillance near the guardrail, and these people did not want to expose their true strength.

After all, they are so scary that they are simply illogical. If he were the ruler of the Manning Empire, he would definitely regard these people as the number one target of surveillance.

...Then he began to worry about whether he would be silenced.

He is simply seeking death by himself! These people don’t need his help at all!

"How could it be?" Arsey, who looked the gentlest and most friendly in the team, comforted him with a smile as he spoke up nervously, "We are not such people. Even if you see something you shouldn't see, at most it's just to erase your memories of the past few days."

That's it...

The bounty hunter's back felt cold and suddenly became more obedient than Willie. At the same time, he was secretly considering the possibility of escaping. It was not until the morning of the next day that he found that Tess's cheeks bulged when he looked at him, and he seemed to be trying hard to hold back his smile. He realized that he seemed, maybe... he was teased?

...It's too much! He is here to help!

Although they were walking slowly with their children... and pets. Moreover, the bounty hunter who had always thought he had to lead the way, sadly discovered that the only useful thing in him might be the tracker in his hand. And... he could probably make the two ladies less nervous and more happy along the way.

Also... quite good.

It was only two days after leaving the reserve, and these people no longer needed him to guide the direction. He watched Arsey press his hand on the ancient tree, closed his eyes as if listening to its sound, and then found a hidden path for them in the increasingly dense forest that seemed to be walking by. Ampett only needed to take a few glances to tell them that the already blurred footprints were left here a few days ago.

These footprints were not left by the people they followed, but at least they prove that there are indeed people living in the deep mountains. If their village can be found, they will always get some news even if it is not popular.

On the fourth day, the "only useful" tracker also broke.

"Maybe there is a problem with the magnetic field here." Weitt patted and beat the tracker, furious, "This thing! Didn't it mean! It's not affected by electromagnetics!"

"Don't worry." Arsey comforted him, "Don't this just prove that we were not going in the wrong direction?"

Weit suddenly realized - yes! That's it!...although it has nothing to do with him.

It is dangerous to get lost in such a forest. But when he looked up at the branches and leaves that almost completely covered the sky, he was not worried about how to go next.

.

Before all the signals disappeared, Arsey sent a message back to Bertram for the last time.

"We've reached the edge of the chaos zone," she told the captain.

Yes, they knew early in the morning that there was a magical chaos area here - when Arsey and Weit were walking around the town, Is had already flown around him with his body hidden.

He felt the chaotic atmosphere, but the forest was too dense, and he couldn't see what was hidden under the branches and leaves. He even flew a little lowered and was a little dizzy, so he had to fly back first and enter in another way.

He suspected Moira was taken into this area because the guys hiding in the gaps in the space also had a scent of chaos in their blood.

When Bertram learned of the existence of this chaotic area, he was not surprised, but instead felt relieved that "it was true".

They actually found several planets with magic power, but the power was either too weak or extremely chaotic. Magic may not have any development in this star field, and scientific and technological civilization became the dominant one.

But... researchers in the Astral Realm believe that "science" is just another form of magic. On the other hand, it can be said that magic is another form of science. They use various energy that exists in countless worlds in the sea of ​​nothingness, but they only use it in different ways. But in this star field, most people who advocate science believe that only science is the answer to all questions, and magic is just the worship and superstition of the powers that they cannot understand in ancient times.

Bertram was silent for a while before asking in a very low voice: "How does Is look?"

Even if it is better than the casters who need to borrow external power, the Chaos Zone will not have no effect on magical creatures like the dragon.

"It's pretty good," Alsey replied, "Willie is here. If there is really any problem, he shouldn't force himself to speak."

Even for the boy's safety, he will not let himself become a hidden danger.

Nana was just a little excited. For her, strength is strength, there is no difference between chaos, darkness, or light, only the difference between strength and weakness.

"…Where is Willy?" Bertram couldn't help asking more.

"Very good," Alsey smiled and looked back, "he tried hard to help, and did not cause any trouble for us."

If he can walk, he will walk by himself. If he can't walk, he will let Is hug him. He will not complain or show off. It will not affect their speed at all. He is still very obedient, but obviously, he is much more lively... and even talks a lot.

Bertram sighed slightly.

"Sometimes I wish he could get some trouble," he said.

At this age, being too obedient is not a good thing - he agrees with IS.

"Be careful," he said at the end, "If there is no news from you in ten days... I will ask the official Manning Empire for assistance."

Local managers do not want to get into trouble, and they also have various concerns, so they choose to act on their own, but this place is not their own world after all, and there are many situations they do not understand.

No matter how many concerns you have, they are not as safe as Moira.

.

Nana flew to the front from time to time to confirm that they were not in the wrong direction - although after entering the chaos area, they were not sure where was the right direction.

At this moment, they could only follow Nana's judgment and prepare to go directly to the center of this area to see what caused such chaos.

That might also explain the "magic" of those Britanns.

There were no human footprints in the forest, and even the footprints of wild beasts always appeared intermittently, and then disappeared suddenly. They could occasionally see broken branches, even the whole fallen tree, and even Weit could see that it was broken by some huge force.

There are dangers that they cannot see in the jungle.

"Not those people," Weitt said. "Although they can be invisible and move quickly, their combat power is very weak...it is the level of an ordinary person."

Otherwise he would have died long ago.

"Didn't it mean there are some mutated animals here?" Tess guessed, "Maybe they have that kind of invisibility, too?"

Weit swallowed it dryly, really didn't want to accept this possibility.

——That would be really dangerous!

He screamed in his heart, his face pretending to be calm, but his hand was already on the handle of the gun at his waist.

Perhaps it was the illusion caused by tension that even the air became thicker and thicker, so thick that it made him feel like he was about to drown in it... But he has the blood of aquatic race, so he could not drown in the water!

He was already a little dizzy when the incident happened. He knew that the situation was not good, but he couldn't react at all. It was the small red-haired woman who jumped up and kicked him away. He then realized it and burst into cold sweats.

A claw poked out from the void, and in the flashes that appeared at times and times, it showed a twisted but sharp claw. Transparent ripples appeared in the air, with claws as the center, waving backwards layer by layer, and a ferocious head of a wild beast that looked like a human being and non-human was also revealed.

“Get out of here!”
