"I feel like there is nothing worth remembering in this world."
"I just want to wait here quietly for death. No matter what happens, I can't let me leave."
The attitude of the two of them was very clear, and they seemed to think that no matter what Aesop said, they would never follow Aesop again.
But at this moment, Medoly came over holding a piece of parchment: "Aesop, I have a commission from you~"
"Commission?" This was the first time Aesop received a commission.
"Yes, please let me know. The client is...Ms. Wisteria?" Medoly gave the order to Aesop, "Ms. Wisteria seems to have returned to her hometown, and she wants to ask your help for something."
Aesop glanced at the client, then nodded: "Okay, I'll pack up and go over."
Then I went back to my room to pack my luggage.
Medoly turned to look at the three people who were still lying on the table in despair, and asked: "Aren't you going to go with Aesop?"
"Don't go."
"Aesop is already a mature mercenary. He will solve everything by himself and doesn't need us anymore."
Medori pointed to her lower lip with her finger and said, "But Miss Ziteng gave me a reward, which seems to be called 'power of nature'."
Stank sneered and said, "It's something I've never heard of before."
Jer also echoed: "There is no interest at all."
"Okay." Medoly shrugged, then turned and left, "I thought you would be interested. After all, Miss Wisteria's description is that that thing can make people invulnerable and infinitely rechargeable."
When Aesop packed his luggage and went downstairs to set off, he saw that Stank, Jer and Ganqiu had packed everything and were waiting for him.
"IBOY!" Stank's eyes were no longer depressed, but full of vitality, "Let's embark on a new journey together!"
Who is not very good at [-]?
The change in the attitude of the three people made Medoli, who was watching from the side, couldn't help but raise her middle finger.
But to the three of them, what does this mean?As long as it is for the invincible force of nature... ahem, as long as it is so that the brothers will not feel lonely on the adventure, there is no need to take personal issues to heart.
And they believed that Aesop would never take it to heart.
But what the three of them didn't expect was that Aesop did not agree immediately and then set off happily with them. Instead, after considering it for a while, he shook his head.
"Uh, what's wrong?"
"Are you going to abandon us?"
The three of them immediately felt the crisis. Being abandoned by others was indeed more difficult to accept than abandoning others.
Aesop unfolded the task list that Medoly gave him and showed it to the three of them: "Because Miss Ziteng has specially marked it, at most three people can go together."
"What's the problem then?" Ganqiu's fingers flickered from Stank, Jer, and himself, "Aren't these exactly three?"
Aesop kindly reminded Ganqiu: "I am also a human being."
Ganqiu was stunned for a moment, then reacted belatedly: "Yes, you are considered a human being..."
Then, he immediately became sad.
"Then who among us is not considered a human being?"
Stank couldn't help but said: "If you raise this question, I already feel that I can't treat you as a human being."
"Damn it, Stank! Who are you saying is not a human being?! Let's duel!" Ganqiu was angry, "Through the duel, we will show who is qualified to be a human being!"
Jer ignored the dispute between Ganqiu and Stank and asked Aesop: "What kind of commission is it? Why is there a limit on the number of people?"
Generally speaking, commissions with a limited number of people are rare.
After all, the reward is only so much, so for the person who releases the task, the more people come, the better. Anyway, so much money has to be paid, and the more people, the more confident it is, so it is rarely seen There will be commissioned tasks for a limited number of people.
Aesop shook his head and said: "Miss Ziteng didn't say anything, she just asked me to come on the commission. It's best not to bring other people. If I have to bring others, the total number of people including me cannot exceed three."
"This is a bit strange." Stank touched his chin and thought, "We have limited the number of people, and we haven't said what we are going to do. The publisher is still Ziteng, so this will be..."
Halfway through, Stank looked up at Aesop as if he had guessed something.
"Wisteria won't want to force your overlord into a bow, right?"
Jier and Ganqiu immediately agreed: "It is true that (Miss) Ziteng can do such a thing."
At this time, an angry voice came from the back kitchen: "Stop talking nonsense, okay? This time Ziteng really has something serious to entrust to Aesop."
Several people turned around and saw that it was Ci Ta.
"What's going on, Tseta." Stank asked, "Why did Wisteria suddenly return to her hometown?"
Ci Ta frowned and seemed to be in a very bad mood. She heard Stank ask this again. She didn't want to answer at first, but she felt that if she didn't reveal something, these guys would really think that her little sister was acting as a monster. , he could only sigh softly and said: "Grandma is dying."
"Grandma?" Stank asked, "Is your grandmother still alive?"
"It's not her grandmother." Jer knew the tree demon quite well. He explained, "It's the grandmother of the forest."
"Grandmother of the forest?" Stank was a little surprised, "Does such a thing exist?"
Ci Ta nodded slightly and said with sadness in his words: "Yes, my hometown is the forest that developed from my grandmother. My grandmother has lived for nearly ten thousand years. When I was born, she had already passed away. And now it is finally the last moment of his life.”
"Is that why Ms. Ziteng rushed back?" Stank probably understood, "Then why didn't you go back?"
"Grandma won't let me," Ci Ta said. "For so many years, grandma has been letting the people come out of the forest and go out into the world. She said that no matter whether it is a tree demon, a flower demon or other species born in the forest, they should not spend their entire lives in this world." Confined to the forest, no matter how big the forest is, it is still small compared to the entire world. It is precisely because of her ideas that people like us will leave the forest and develop in the outside world, and now, there are many, many descendants of the forest. , if they all rush back, the forest will be overcrowded, and grandma doesn’t want to see this, so she stipulates that only one person in the family can go back.”
"I see." Stank nodded, and then looked at Aesop, "Then why did Miss Wisteria let Aesop go with her? Could it be that she wanted Aesop to give her grandmother another life?"
Aesop shook his head and said, "I don't have the ability to extend people's lives."
"Really?" Ganqiu said, "I thought you were omnipotent."
"Of course not." Aesop said seriously, "If I were omnipotent, I would have fixed your balls long ago. You can have as many as you want."
Ganqiu: "..."
Although I feel that I should be angry, looking at Aesop's extremely sincere eyes, it seems that he is really worried about his hidden illness, and it seems that no matter how angry he is, he can only hold it back.
"You really can't bring grandma back to life?"
"Hey, hey, hey." Ci Ta said angrily, "What is resurrection! Grandma is not dead yet!"
"Oh, sorry, sorry, that's what I meant anyway." Stank said, "As long as you understand."
Aesop shook his head and said: "If my life span is over, there is nothing I can do, or no one can do anything."
"Yes." Ci Ta sighed softly and said, "Grandma herself is also a mythical creature. Otherwise, she would not have such a long lifespan. But even so, it is not inexhaustible, so Wisteria is not It’s another thing to ask Aesop to extend his grandmother’s life.”
"What's going on?" Several people asked in unison.
Ci Ta's face turned rosy immediately, and she seemed embarrassed to say it, but when she thought that this was her grandmother's last wish, she still said it.
"Grandma has lived for so many years, but she has never experienced...well, that aspect of happiness." Cita blushed and said in a low voice, "So, when her life is about to come to an end, she hopes to be able to... Experience it before you die.”
After listening to Ci Ta's words, the expressions of several people suddenly became dull.
"The pleasure you are talking about..." Jer asked in a low voice, "Isn't it really the pleasure I understand?"
Tseta sighed, but nodded.
Jere: "..."
This was too...even he didn't know what to say.
"So that's it." Stank touched his chin and said, "But since it is my grandmother's last wish, there is nothing to say. But in this way, the candidate should be determined. After all, it is about this aspect, so who can't Going?"
"Yes." Jer nodded in agreement, "Who is not very good at this?"
"I'm really curious." Aesop also joined the conversation.
Then, everyone's eyes were focused on Ganqiu.
[-] Kneel down before eternity!mortal!
As a result, the final team became the standard trio of Aesop, Stank and Jar.
A certain Ganqiu who did not want to be named was eliminated in this competition with a slight disadvantage. He left angrily after leaving a sentence: "30 years in Hedong, 30 years in Hexi, don't bully young people who are short and fast." He said that he must show them a big one the next time they meet.
The threatened trio of villains set out on the road in a nervous and happy mood.
The forest generally refers to the Youle Forest in the central part of the continent. This is the largest forest in the world and has the largest variety of wood races living here.
Naturally, Aesop had heard about the Youle Forest for a long time. The grandmother of the forest was also recorded in history books early. She was also a mythical creature, but there was not much written about it.
Because the forest remained neutral during the war years, and the reason why it remained neutral was the existence of this forest grandmother.But no one knows what kind of strength the forest grandmother is.
It took the trio about a week to arrive at Youle Forest, and Ziteng, who had already received the news, was already waiting at the agreed entrance.
When she saw Aesop, Ziteng came up to him with a smile like a flower. But when she saw Stank and Zell following Aesop, that smile disappeared in an instant.
"Hey, hey, hey, Ziteng." Jer said with some dissatisfaction, "The difference in your treatment is too obvious."
Ziteng rolled his eyes and said, "It's not that we treat each other differently, but it's really useless for you two guys to come here."
"Who said it's useless? Why is it useless?" Stank was also dissatisfied. "You can question our incompetence in one aspect, but you can't question our inability in one aspect!"
"...What on earth are you talking about?"
"Don't act stupid, Wisteria." Stank said, "Tseta has told us everything. We already know what you came to Aesop for."
"Yes." Jer nodded and said, "In this regard, we are still the predecessors of Aesop, and we are not the predecessors who were shot to death on the beach like Ganqiu, but serious ones who are still on the expedition. Senior among them, so how can you not call us two?"
After listening to what the two said, Ziteng couldn't help but hold her forehead and complain: "What on earth is my sister doing? She talks about everything to others...and she doesn't explain clearly. It's not what you understand at all."
"Not what we understand?"
Stank and Zell looked at each other.
"Can this kind of thing still be understood crookedly?"
"I can't say I misunderstood, but...hey, it's useless to talk to you now. You're all here anyway, so I can't drive you back." Ziteng said, "Then stay, and wait until you see grandma. You see what I mean, you two are not good at all!"
Ziteng's "You two are not good at all" directly made Stank and Germao angry. What men hate most is women saying that they are not good, and they can't wait to prove it to Ziteng.
But in the forest, Wisteria's power was stronger than outside. She easily subdued the two unhappy men and said angrily: "You'd better stay calm, this is a forest!"
"What happened to the forest?" Stank was still unhappy.
"The forest is very exclusive." Jer understood better than Stank. "Although my grandmother has always advocated letting the children of the forest leave the forest and go to the outside world, not everyone will go. On the contrary, go outside There are still very few people there, most of them still stay in the forest, and they are very repulsive to outsiders... This is probably why you only asked Aesop to bring us two here."
"You're half right."
"Which half is wrong?"
Ziteng glanced sideways at Jer: "I only want Aesop to come alone, and I don't want you two to come at all. You are a bit pretentious."
Jere: "..."
"The specific situation is quite complicated." Ziteng sighed and said, "If I didn't want to fulfill my grandmother's last wish, I wouldn't allow outsiders to enter the forest for the first time. And even so, everyone doesn't want to see outsiders. That’s why the number of people is strictly limited, and only very core members can bring outsiders in. If I hadn’t been a child raised by my grandmother, I wouldn’t have been able to get three places.”
"It doesn't matter." Stank patted Wisteria on the shoulder and said, "As long as we come, it will be fine."
Ziteng rolled her eyes and said, "Whether you can see grandma or not is still one thing."
"Why is this again?"
"People in the clan believe that even if they want to fulfill my grandmother's last wish, they must not be too casual." Ziteng said, "Grandma is so noble, how can she be easily manipulated by lowly people, roosters, dogs, and mediocre people? "
"...Are you serious about this adjective?"
"I'm not talking about you, but most of the clan members miss outsiders like this." Ziteng waved his hand and said, "If my grandmother hadn't spoken out this time, she said that she would give generous rewards to the juniors who can fulfill her last wish. , those old antiques still won’t let outsiders in.”
"Is there any reward?"
"Yes, it is my grandmother's inheritance. What is given to outsiders is the power of nature, and what it is given to the tribe is unknown." Ziteng said, "And this means that I am not the only one who has found foreign aid. Almost everyone who has The qualified tribesmen are all looking for foreign aid. As a result, the number of foreign aids will increase. The tribe will definitely not allow so many people to contact the grandmother at the same time, so they must be screened in advance."
Stank and Jer looked at each other, wondering why this thing sounded so evil?
"Is it my imagination?" Stank pondered for a while and said, "Why do I feel like we are a bit like call cowherds?"
"No, this is not your illusion." Jer said, "He is just a call cowherd, or the kind of call cowherd who needs to compete for a job."
Two old escorts who have traveled all over the world suddenly become call cowherds who need to be involved. I have to sigh that this world is really wonderful.
While they were talking, Ziteng had already brought the three of them to the reception room, where another female dryad who looked like a snake spirit was already sitting here.
As soon as the snake spirit dryad saw Wisteria, her eyes immediately lit up, as if she had been waiting here for a long time. She stood up immediately, and then walked towards Wisteria with a charming smile.
"Hey, isn't this sister Ziteng~" the snake spirit dryad said, "I didn't expect you to actually bring someone in."
Seeing the female dryad, Ziteng's expression immediately became very unhappy. She looked at the other party coldly and said, "What does it have to do with you?"
"Oh, it's all to fulfill grandma's wish~" said the female dryad, "and we all have the power to attract outsiders, so we can be considered competitors, so naturally we have to see what level our competitors are. , but it looks like now..."
