Chapter 87 Giant Crow
"Little guy, I have something to ask you before I leave." Lao Bai said unhurriedly, "If you have the opportunity to travel to the Midgard area in the future, remember to take time to visit 'Stone Pillar Town', Visit my brother for me, the other Ilminthul, which takes root in the woods near Stonepillar."
Joan nodded solemnly, held the branch and asked Lao Bai: "Is there anything else? I remember that you have two relatives in the world of Vales."
"Oh~ yes, besides the brothers in Stone Pillar Town, I also have a younger sister who is rooted in the Niflheim area. Unfortunately, I don't know the exact location. If you have the opportunity to go to Niflheim in the future, remember to help me Inquire about the whereabouts of my sister."
Joan nodded, but felt a little embarrassed. Located in the north of Alfheim, Midgard is a relatively well-developed colony. The colonial capital "Midgard City" is the leading metropolis in the New World and the largest commercial, trade and industrial center on the east coast. If Joan can successfully graduate from Leiden College and intends to continue his studies, then the Arcane Branch of Midgard University is the best choice for him to continue his studies. So it is very likely that he will go to Midgard in the future, and it is also a matter of helping Lao Bai visit his relatives who have settled there.
As for Niflheim, that's another matter! To the north of Midgard is Jotunheim, a colony of the Phi people, a northern country with a cold climate, and further north—located within the Arctic Circle—is Niflheim, a land shrouded in fog and snow all year round. It is also known as the "Land of Fog". It is said that Niflheim is the birthplace of "Styx", the kingdom of the undead and witches. Any outsider who breaks into Niflheim will be regarded as an enemy by the extremely xenophobic "Styx Witch". . Joan didn't want to go to that horrible place unless he had to.
Lao Bai pointed to the branch in Qiao An's hand, and said: "Keep this evergreen branch as a token. If I can see my relatives in the future, I can use this branch as a token to gain the other party's trust. You are very helpful."
"This branch has been imbued with magic power. Carrying this branch with you, you can perceive the intelligent creatures around you and communicate with them through telepathy. In addition, you can also extract the magic power from the branch when you need it. Transform into a tall and strong 'tree man'." Finally, Laobai warned Joan with an emphatic tone, "Remember, my child, the magic power in the branches is limited, and it can only keep you transformed for 2 minutes a day at most. After that, you will return to your original form, and the branches will need to be recharged for a day and a night to recover their magic power, allowing you to gain the ability to transform into a treant again."
"Thank you for your gift, Lao Bai, I have written down all your instructions."
Joan bowed to the ancient tree gratefully. For a mage with a weak physique like him, this magical branch can just make up for the shortcoming of melee combat. He had witnessed the powerful combat power of the Tree Man with his own eyes. The transformation time of two minutes was very short, but it was enough to save his life at a critical moment.
Joan put away the magic branch, bid farewell to Irminsur, went out of the woods to meet Kandy, and went to find her parents together.
When Victor and Matoka heard their daughter say that Joan was planning to go home today, although they were a little bit reluctant, they didn't hold back too much. Matoka forcibly gave Joan a big purse containing 100 gold coins, saying it was for his travel expenses. Considering the long distance from Powhatan Village to Delin Town and the presence of wild beasts and monsters on the way, Victor worried that Joann’s hiking alone would be too risky, so he cast a spell to summon a giant crow as big as a horse, and ordered it to ride Drive Joan to fly until it is safe and sound to send Joan to Dudlin Town.
Joan bid farewell to the Conti family and bravely climbed onto the back of the huge crow. The giant crow was very docile, and waited for Joan to sit firmly before spreading his wings and taking off into the air.
Joan was riding on the back of the giant crow, feeling the air blowing past his ears, his body rose rapidly, and his heart beat faster. The giant crow flew up to a thousand feet in the air, maintaining this height and soaring in the direction of Delin Town.
Joan gradually became familiar with the feeling of flying on a giant crow, and his nervousness calmed down a little. Looking down sideways, the buildings and streets of Powhatan Village have shrunk like a chessboard, and the silhouettes of people have become blurred black spots. Can vaguely see Kandy standing still and waving his hands in the air. Joan grabbed the feathers on the neck of the giant crow with his left hand, and waved his right hand downwards. He said goodbye to the Kandy family for the last time, but he didn't know if they could hear them.
Looking back on the two weeks spent in Powhatan Village, and the various adventures and adventures he experienced during that time, Joan felt lost, as if everything in the past was just a dream, and now that the dream has dissipated, he had to leave this place for himself. A village with many fond memories, life will also return to the previous track.
It wasn't until the village below disappeared completely at the end of the field of vision, replaced by a lush jungle and a meandering and shining river, that Joan came back to his senses. The giant crow flies very fast, and can reach Delin Town before the sun sets. There is nothing to do during the flight, so Joan silently casts "Inner Vision" to enter a meditative state, checks his occupation and attributes, and prepares himself for this journey. Make a summary of the harvest and growth in the book.

The distance from the Algonquin Valley, where Powhatan Village is located, to Joan's hometown, Delin Town, is about 200 miles. It takes at least half a month on foot, and four to five days on horseback. However, this time Joan rode the giant crow home, including the time it took to land and rest on the way, the whole journey took only four hours. Before the sun set, he could see the small town on the banks of the Delin River from a distance. The huge waterwheel rumbled under the impact of the river, and the splashed water reflected a gorgeous rainbow in the setting sun.
Joan patted the back of the crow's neck, signaling that this magical beast, whose wisdom was no less than that of a human being, would descend. The giant crow nodded knowingly, folded its wide wings and circled down, driving a gust of wind to blow away the smoke lingering over the town, and frightened the hounds lying on the town's entrance to bask in the sun, all of them tucked their tails and hid under the eaves, vigilant. And staring in fear at the huge black shadow descending from the sky.
