The mountain was not steep, and it was not difficult for them to walk. Especially when Angel found a man-made path in the forest, it was even easier to walk.
There are roads, which means there are traces of people. Angel asked Toby to observe the terrain. Toby nodded his head like a chicken pecking at the melon seeds, and then hovered all the way to the sky. After a while, Toby flew down to Angel's shoulder and muttered.
A few sounds.
"Is it really inhabited? Is it on the other side of the mountain? Is it a big city?" Angel's eyes lit up. He was worried that he was encountering a small village and it would be difficult to find its location, but there was no such thing in a big city.
This is worrying.
Now that the road ahead was clear, Angel was in a much better mood. He turned to the man who was following him and said, "We will be in the city soon. I can't keep calling you 'hey hey'. You should also have a name."
Already?"
The man looked confused, his eyes simple but filled with joy.
After this period of communication, the man finally stopped repeating what he said, but that was all. He still did not make any other response. Angel did not know whether this situation was developing in a good direction or not.
Go in the wrong direction.
However, Angel found that whenever he talked to the man, he seemed to be particularly happy. His eyes were shining brightly, like the morning stars in the sky, pure and clear.
Angel guessed that this was the imprinting behavior of chicks. When they first wake up, they regard whoever they see as their mother.
Oh, no, it's dad.
Dad seems to be wrong. He doesn't have a son who has lived for a thousand years or is even older than Teacher Sanders.
"Tell me, what's your name?" Angel asked.
Although the man usually didn't reply, he would occasionally pop up some words, which were all words from Angel's words. Angel didn't even think about asking the man to answer his questions, just to see what words he could pop up.
, and he used that word as his name.
Angel thought evilly that it would be best to use words such as "poop", "puppy", and "mud". In the future, when the man's IQ returns to normal, it would be interesting to find out that his name has such a mean meaning.
And he chose it himself, so wanting to change his name would be a denial of himself!
However, Angel's evil intentions did not work, because for some reason, the man never said any words today, he just kept tilting his head, looking like a curious baby.
There is no other way. Since you don't say anything, then I will help you.
"What do you think of Pocrates?" Angel: "This is the place where you used to live. In case you forget, how about taking it as your name?"
Angel said to himself: "If you think about it carefully, Pocrates doesn't seem to be right. After all, such a tragedy happened there."
Angel kept talking, hoping to induce the man to say something, even just a random word, but the man remained silent.
At the end, Angel couldn't say any more: "I have no choice. Anyway, my name is useless. You can call it whatever you want in the future... Obviously when I helped you expel the parasites, your eyes were very clear at the time.
Ah, why did you suddenly become stupid?"
Speaking of this, Angel suddenly paused and his eyes suddenly lit up: "I remembered that when you woke up for the first time, it seemed that your memory was not lost. At that time, you seemed to have fainted after saying a word.
What were you talking about then?... Let me think about it."
Angel racked his brains and began to recall the situation at that time.
After he took the parasite out of the man's body, the man's eyes became clear for a moment. Then he murmured in a low voice and passed out... When the man woke up, he had lost all memory.
"Dodoro!" Angel said, "I remember, you fainted after saying 'Dodoro'."
"Then your name will be Tatolo from now on?" The name sounded a bit strange, and Angel didn't know if it was his name. But since it was the first thing he said after waking up, there must be some meaning behind it.
Maybe it's an obsession that he can't forget for thousands of years. Using this as a name can always remind him not to forget this sentence.
Even if he is overthinking it, it doesn't matter that the word has no meaning. Anyway, there are many people with weird names, and isn't "Todoro" easy to remember? It's easy to pronounce.
While Angel was deep in thought, the man behind him suddenly froze.
When the man heard "Dodoro", a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes, and some images seemed to emerge from the depths of his mind. There were sword lights, iron armor, blood, horse hooves... and each one was carrying a small child on his back.
The kind old man with the iron box...
"What do you think?" Angel turned back to look at the man.
As Angel suddenly asked, the fragments in the man's mind gradually dissipated. Then he raised his head and looked at Angel with a confused expression, tilted his head, as if he didn't understand anything.
"It's no use asking you. It's settled. Before you recall the memory, you will be called Dudolo." Angel paused and then said: "As for the surname, it doesn't matter whether you choose it or not. But Ah.
Kesuo has supported you with its essence and blood for thousands of years, and you must never forget its kindness to you. Therefore, you can take Aksuo as your surname for the time being."
"Dodoro Akso, this is your name from now on." Angel made the final decision.
The man nodded blankly.
A gust of mountain mist blew past, blowing up his long legs that reached to his knees. The slightly yellow leaves rustled down, the sound of wind accompanied the fallen leaves, and the flowing clouds followed the sky, freezing this moment that Dodolo will never forget.
…
Halfway up the mountain, Angel discovered a rather exquisitely built double-story wooden house. The wooden house was located in an open space in the mountain forest. Not far from the front of the house, there was a sign.
Angel took a closer look and saw that there were several types of characters used on the sign. Among them, the top layer of characters was Universal Chinese.
"Section OO39 of the Byzantine Mountains, the Forester's Cabin of the Kanas Mountains"
The date of erection of the sign is also written on the lower left side of the sign, as well as a seal that reads "The rising sun rises from the end of the horizon."
It turned out to be the ranger's cabin.
Angel touched his chin. He didn't care about the Woodsman's Cabin, but this brand made him very concerned.
Although this is just a nameplate that records a location, a lot of information can actually be inferred from it.
This seal, as well as the "Byzantine Mountains Section OO39" written on the brand, all tell Angel a message: this is an official symbol.
Only the official can divide the territory of the country, and even a mountain range must be divided into many sections. This also shows that this "official" is very peaceful at least when the sign is established. If it is a turbulent territory,
They don't even care about the livelihood of ordinary people, let alone think of protecting the forest.
The Golden Bird Empire also had the position of forest guard in the past, but after the war with Hailan, when the people were in dire straits, the forest guard naturally disappeared in the tide of history.
"So I'm lucky and have arrived in a peaceful place?" Angel touched the sign and found that there wasn't much dust on it. He thought someone should wipe it away from time to time.
After bypassing the wooden sign, Angel came to the forest guard's cabin.
There was no one in the house. Angel had visited before. The door was locked, but this had no effect on Angel. Whether it was mental power or magic power, he could easily open the lock cylinder.
Angel opened the door and walked in.
Although the wooden house has two floors, there is actually only one room on each floor. The first floor is the hall and the second floor is the bedroom. The furnishings are also very simple. Except for a few locked cabinets, other things are clearly visible.
"Except for weapons, it's just food. There is no book. It seems that this forest guard doesn't have much entertainment." Angel opened the cabinet and unexpectedly found a map.
However, this map only shows the location of the ranger cabins in "Section oo21~oo4o of the Byzantine Mountains". Looking at the scale marked on the map, there are 20 ranger cabins in the mountain range of more than 800 miles.
This is considered an extremely dense distribution.
If he can treat the forest and nature well, this country will be more peaceful than he imagined.
Putting down the map, Angel was attracted by the smell of smoke. Looking up, he saw a row of dried pork legs and a row of unnamed jerky hanging on the beam above the cabinet.
.
Angel had been eating food without seasoning for several months. When he saw the salty food, his eyes lit up.
Taking out a smoked and dried pork breast, Angel shouted "sin", then put it in the boiler on the kitchen stove and boiled it in plain water.
The smell was simply so tempting! Not to mention Angel, even Toby couldn't help but start eating it.
On the other side, Dudolo had been eating fruit for more than half a month to nourish his stomach. At this time, he smelled the aroma of meat and kept swallowing his saliva. However, he did not come to ask for it, but just looked at the fragrant meat in the pot eagerly.
.
Angel thought for a moment, Dudolo had not gotten sick after eating fruits in the past half month, and there should be no major problems with his gastrointestinal function, so he threw the cooked, soft and glutinous meat to Dudolo.
This meal was very filling and satisfying.
When leaving the ranger's cabin, Angel placed a gold coin on the table. Although it was a bit of an afterthought, it was still an explanation.
As for this gold coin, I bought the pork jerky, and... a set of clothes, pants and shoes.
This outfit is not for him to wear, but for Tatolo.
Among Angel's bracelets, there was only a bright purple wizard's robe that he had obtained from Promi, and Dudolo had been wearing this wizard's robe these days.
But underneath the wizard's robe, he actually wore nothing.
This feeling of being in neutral didn't seem unusual to Dudolo, but Angel felt it was a bit awkward. When the wind blew, not only did the guy's front and back bend, his shape could be seen, it was simply too immoral.
In order not to obstruct the view after entering the city, Angel came up with this strategy.
After changing his clothes, Dodolo looked more handsome than before. In order to avoid trouble, Angel also cut his hair into a short hair.
After everything was taken care of, they left the ranger's cabin.
Angel originally planned to go over the mountains, but there is an obvious road here. If you follow the road, you should be able to reach the human gathering area directly.
