Chapter Five Hundred and Ninety Third: Feeding

The branches and leaves were taken by Al all the way to a forest on the edge of the high elf gathering place.

This forest is inhabited by a variety of creatures, and it is an indispensable "circulation circle" for Arthur Crowe. In addition, the other side of the forest is the forgotten land, and there are patrol teams patrolling the forest all the time. .

If the branches and leaves are discovered by those patrol teams, not only Al will face a longer confinement time, but even she may be directly locked in the hall of contemplation.

However, Zhiye feels that instead of caring about when he will bump into the patrol team, he should care about when he will fall to the ground from exhaustion!

Zhiye had never been so hungry in her life, and the hunger in her stomach made her fall into a weak state. Al, who was still energetic at the beginning, also gradually slowed down his pace because of the hunger.

What the hell happened to Arthur Crowe?

Branches and leaves sensed the magic power in their body, and there was no decrease at all, indicating that the condition of the holy tree was still very good, but this frequent hunger made branches and leaves very uncomfortable.

If this change started yesterday, she would not have eaten anything for almost a whole day.

"Branches and leaves... Have you reached the Forgotten Land?"

In the end, Al was too tired to run, so he could only walk forward with Zhiye holding her hand.

"No…"

The branches and leaves supported their own consciousness and walked towards the depths of the forest, while being alert to all the subtle movements around them.

Meeting the patrol team in such a weak state, she didn't even have the ability to escape.

"Are you here yet?" Al asked again before he had walked a few steps.

"No, we seem to have lost our way."

Zhiye glanced around the forest, Zhiye remembered that the elders seemed to have set up a magic circle on the edge of the forest to confuse intruders, and any creatures that approached the Forgotten Land would be like entering a maze.

"There seems to be a bird in the tree." Al said suddenly.

This sentence surprised Zhiye slightly, she immediately turned around and patted Al's cheek gently with both hands.

"Wake up, don't use magic here, it will attract the inspection team!"

"But I'm starving."

Al's hunger far exceeded Zhiye's expectations, which may be the reason why she needs to maintain a large amount of magic power in her body. Before Zhiye could say a word to her, Al's body fell backwards.

Zhiye quickly grabbed Al, and after a moment of silence, he could only carry Al, who had fainted from hunger, on his back.

Maybe she should take the initiative to go to the inspector to explain why now? If they continue to get lost in this forest, they will most likely become the first pair of high elves to starve to death at their doorstep.

But Zhiye didn't do this, a strange belief supported her and walked deep into the forest with Al on her back.

The hunger made her consciousness gradually blur, and finally Zhiye didn't know how long she had walked. When she took the next step, she slid down a slope.

The branches and leaves finally fell into the wet pile of leaves, and the feeling of fatigue swept over the branches and leaves, and she felt that she couldn't even open her eyes.

But vaguely, the branches and leaves seemed to smell a fragrance, a fragrance that she seemed to have smelled there, but she couldn't remember it because her head was too heavy.

Wait...is this the smell of food?

The branches and leaves barely supported their body, and the moment they wanted to continue to carry Al on their backs and walk in that direction, Al, who had passed out from a coma, suddenly woke up.

In the vagueness, the branches and leaves seemed to see the light like stars emerging from her eyes.

"It's cake!" Al's excited voice echoed in Zhiye's ears.

Zhiye could only lie on the ground and watch Al, who should have lost his strength, stand up suddenly, and then quickly disappeared from her field of vision.

But it didn't take long for Al to remember that he had forgotten something, and he turned back in an instant and carried some weak branches and leaves on his back.

Al ran out of the forest with the branches and leaves. The dazzling sunlight made the branches and leaves' eyes unable to adapt. After a while, the branches and leaves gradually saw the distant scenery clearly.

Forgotten land!

From the outside, it looks like a hill that has been covered with vines and moss, but how could there be a tavern in such an abandoned place?

Wait... The branch and leaves of the tavern didn't see it, but the branches and leaves saw a wooden cart at the entrance of the Forgotten Land, and the smell of the cake came from that cart.

"Wait... Al!"

Zhiye wanted to remind Al that there was a defensive magic circle around the Forgotten Land.

"And baked cookies!"

But Al's mind was controlled by appetite, and she ran directly to the car.

The defensive magic circle around the Forgotten Land didn't work. Al easily took the branches and leaves through the barrier made of magic power and came to the small car.

At this time, Zhiye also saw clearly the figure standing beside the car, it was a... very beautiful 'human girl'.

"You...why are you here?"

At this time, Zhiye came back to realize that it was abnormal for human beings to appear in Arthur Crowe, and the worst would bring a devastating disaster to Arthur Crowe.

"I'd like a strawberry cake and a package of blueberry cookies, thank you!"

But before the 'human girl' responded to Zhiye's questioning, Al directly said out loud what he wanted.

The "human girl" also cooperated very well and packed the things on the shelf of the trolley and handed them to Al.

"Hmm... can I use magic net savings to pay here?"

Al has been to Nolan before and knows that human beings need money to exchange items, but unfortunately, she doesn't have any currency of human countries at all.

"You don't have to pay for it, it's all given away for free."

When the "human girl" said this sentence, Zhiye felt the strangeness of the matter even more. When she was about to remind Al to be careful of the poison, Al had already stuffed the cake directly into her mouth.

"If you don't mind Zhiye, you can eat biscuits." Al felt Zhiye's gaze, and seemed to think that the other party looked at her with such terrifying eyes because she ate the cake.

"..."

Zhiye fell into a long silence again. She looked at the bag of biscuits that Al handed over, which exuded a mixed flavor of blueberry and milk, which was an irresistible temptation for people who were already hungry. Confusion.

So Zhiye swallowed her saliva, glanced at Al who was still safe after eating the cake, and was about to take a biscuit to taste...

"What are you doing there!"

There was a stern scolding sound from behind, and when Zhiye turned her head... the worst scene she expected still happened.

The patrol team of the high elves found this place! She looked at the 'human girl' again, and she seemed to be in a state of panic, not at all like a warrior should behave.

‘Ino, forget about the car, just run back! '

The magic web interface that appeared in front of her allowed Zhiye to know the name of the person in front of her. Zhiye decided to negotiate with the elf patrol team. Unfortunately, Al immediately hugged her up in the next second.

"It's time to run away." Al said vaguely with a cake in his mouth.

"Put me down!"

Zhiye's persuasion had no effect, and she could only watch Al carry her into the Forgotten Land.
