The two of them walked in silence until they reached a small house. The hooded man walked up the stairs at the door, opened the door, and walked straight into the house. Seeing that he did not close the door, Brutus quickly followed him into the house.
Close the door smoothly.
There was a faint smell of rotten wood in the cabin, and the furniture in the living room looked old. The man who came in before Brutus was standing at a square table, and behind the square table sat a man wearing glasses who looked like
A very old woman, the wooden stick that the man was holding was standing next to the woman, leaning against the square table.
The woman was busy writing something, and there was a stack of thick-looking books on the table.
She raised her head and looked at Brutus, and said in a very calm tone: "It's been a long time since a new face came here. Anjeste, please prepare a pot of refreshing tea for this new guest. Remember to put more.
Xingshencao, he doesn’t look ordinary tired.”
"Sit down, young man." After calling Angelste to do some work, she waved Brutus to find a chair and sit down.
Brutus turned his eyes, moved a chair from the side of the living room and placed it on the side opposite the old lady. After sitting down, he began to introduce himself: "My name is Brutus. Thank you very much Mr. Angest."
Come to the rescue, otherwise I may die in the hands of the orcs."
"That's just his daily job, no need to thank him." The old woman stopped what she was doing, closed the book in front of her, raised her hand and placed it on the top of the stack, "I am Angelette, this is
Ranger of the forest, Angest is my son."
"Forester?" Brutus felt that the forest in this environment seemed to have no need to take care of, and he was a little confused about this.
"You may be very confused by this. This forest used to be full of green. The stream ran through the forest from north to south and merged into the large lake next to the town of Tateto. You can hear various birds here.
The chirping of insects.”
"In spring and summer, you can feel the fresh air from nature when you open the window. After autumn, the fruit trees in the forest mature, and it is a different lively atmosphere. Although winter is lonely, it also makes people feel alive.
Spend some time alone in a warm room."
As she spoke, there were some tears in the old woman's eyes: "But after my wife passed away, there was no possibility for this forest to regain its former vitality."
Brutus didn't know what to say for a moment, so he just sat on the chair honestly.
Fortunately, it didn't take long for Anjeste to return to the living room with a tray. He placed the pot and three cups on the tray on the table, then lifted the pot and filled the three cups with tea.
Brutus thanked him and took the cup. He was very thirsty now. He couldn't wait to blow a few breaths and sip the tea. The tea had a slightly sour taste, but it was still tolerable to him.
In the range.
"Ah, by the way. I came here because the town of Tatto was attacked, so I came here to seek some help." I don't know if it's a psychological effect or if this tea can really relieve fatigue, Brutus feels that he feels now
Now that I feel better, I can start to get down to business.
The old woman refilled her empty cup with tea: "Then I think you may have to return empty-handed. My son and I can't give you any help, and I think the nobles and soldiers in Tatto Town
There are ways to deal with these dangers."
Brutus nodded. He had already been mentally prepared for this answer, and he didn't have any big plans. Even if he couldn't get any help here, there was no need to force it. Besides, everything had already happened anyway, so there was no need to force it.
Maybe we can go back to the previous timeline to solve this matter.
"Then can you tell me the way or the direction to leave this forest? It is really easy to get lost in such a dense forest if you don't know the direction."
"It's getting late, and it might be harder to find the way in such a forest. So I think you can stay here for one night, and I'll ask Anjeste to take you out tomorrow." The woman turned to look at her.
Son, "Anjeste, I will tidy up the room that has been empty for a long time. I remember that there are spare beddings at home."
Anjeste just nodded to show that he understood and did not make a sound to answer.
"I'm really grateful." Brutus could only agree to this, otherwise he would have to rely on himself to find his way in a place like this, and he doesn't know how long it would take.
the direction of the wind.
After the three of them finished a rather simple dinner, Angelste led Brutus to an old wooden door. He pointed at the door and then turned to his room without saying a word.
Go.
Brutus was quite accustomed to the behavior of this very silent man. He opened the door and walked into the room.
He didn't know when Angest had cleaned it. In Brutus' memory, Angest had never left his sight a few times, and each time it didn't last long.
There was only one bed in the room, a small square table against the corner and matching chairs. There was an oil lamp with a faint flame on the square table.
"This environment is really simple." Brutus walked to the window and tried to push it open. When he opened the window and looked out, he saw an endless dense forest and dense bushes below the window.
After closing the window, Brutus sat down on the bed. The old wooden bed creaked, as if it would fall apart at any time because it could not bear the weight of Brutus.
He felt a little sleepy for no reason. He leaned on the bed and unconsciously closed his eyes and fell asleep...
After an unknown amount of time, the oil lamp in Brutus's room had long since burned out, and the whole room was dark. His door was gently pushed open, and then there was a dull sound of a sharp instrument piercing the bedding into the wooden board.
sound.
A dazzling white light emitted from the top of the wooden stick in Angelite's hand, illuminating the entire room.
"Look, you must find him for me!" Angelette roared at her son with scarlet eyes.
Angelste withdrew the dagger stuck on the bed board, opened the window and looked outside, but found no traces caused by the stampede. He turned around and walked around his mother and began to search around the house for Brutus.
.
The light from the wooden stick in Angelette's hand had long been extinguished. She turned around and left the door of the room with an unkind look on her face. After a while, she and Angelete's footsteps nearby were no longer heard at all.
Brutus, who was invisible in the room and stood in the corner on the right side of the room, breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he was awakened by the coldness from the pendant, which also gave him an invisibility effect. Otherwise, he would have been killed long ago.
Get a hole in your body.
He calmed down and listened to the movement around him. After confirming that there was no sound, he hesitated again - he was not sure whether he should take the opportunity to escape through the window or stay where he was to prevent the mother and son who had not actually left.
