Truyde carefully examined the reports that came up every day for a week. Although the contents were similar each time, there were slight differences. What kind of bird did they see, how many eggs did they steal from the nest, what fruits did they pick from the trees, how they search for footprints near the animal’s excrement, how they manage to catch a caterpillar and put it as a gift in the nest where they stole the eggs, and so on.64891406164d9bc8
After reading every last 7a707ca3ff word, Truyde raised his 7bd15020cc head after a while. Then, as 462569f7c0 if waiting, 210fb7e480 the attendant 8d7caf8cb2 opened his 6082bbb1a6 mouth.f2e5948d96961742

“Currently, the Regas, who is receiving His Majesty’s favor, has obtained permission. His Majesty guaranteed that he would personally enter the Dragon Forest. However, His Majesty dislikes the Dragon Forest, so it seems difficult for him to go twice. Moreover, His Majesty’s Regas is also afraid of entering the forest, so Lord Norhox has agreed to resolve this issue. That child also knows well what he needs to do, so there is no problem confirming whether Abel’s report is true or not.”4ffdb1ae3c8738a8

“Of course, isn’t it? Abel has no choice but to report because it is a condition of this job to orally describe what he has done every day, but he cannot tell the truth about everything.

“He would have done nothing. He just wanted to let everyone know that he went into the Dragon Forest with the prince. That way, they would think he was an amazing person. He wanted to claim that he went into a place where no one else would dare to go and that he always came back safely with the prince. So, it didn’t matter what he did inside, as long as he held onto the prince and didn’t get trapped in the fog.”5ba87498bcc54461

“Do you see that shady, damp ground? It’s a good place to find animal footprints. It’s hard to find them in the autumn when the leaves pile up, but on summer mornings before the sun rises, there are still footprints. The morning frost makes the ground damp. The footprints there are from a dormouse. I’ll teach you how to find animal footprints later. The faster the animal, the fewer toes it has. So, a deer with only two split hooves is the fastest.”4654b3b8499ae1a8
His hand, which 82fb7f5a66 had been digging 34102343c3 the ground, paused 8864f4f96d for a moment a526e6424b as if he fe0f35260f was tired.

Pus formed on his neck and shoulders, and his skin, which had turned black and dead like the bark of a dead tree, stretched. Even if he treated it every night, the wounds were still painful, and Abel’s complexion worsened. However, he still did not release his arms holding the prince. He was still on his knees, holding the prince and digging the ground with one hand.796868f0f0cab4f6
As a result, his breathing became rough, and his heart pounded. From his shoulder, a new wound caused by the prince’s teeth dripped fresh blood down his neck. The wound was quite painful, enough to leave an impression, but Abel moved his rested arm again and continued digging the ground.60cbd5fd99f77892

Abel safely coming out of the Dragon Forest on the first day was no longer a surprising event, but rather became a subject of ridicule.

“So, it’s not easy to catch fast animals. Fortunately, creatures like field mice can be caught by setting traps by digging the ground and disguising it with branches and fallen leaves. Oh, of course, just digging the ground is not enough. Field mice are creatures that dig the ground and make caves, so even if they fall into a trap, they dig through the soil and escape. So, what do you do? Are you curious? Hehe, I’ll teach you from now on.”4cf3c49c91a78ba0

“No matter how well a field mouse digs the ground, it has a habit of hiding in a safe place when it becomes dangerous. And the place it likes is right under this moss. Now, if you lay moss like this in a trap corner, the caught field mouse will hide underneath it. Then, when you come back later and lift the moss, if there’s a field mouse hiding underneath, it’s a sure thing. Then you just have to catch it! Field mice are delicious when fried!”826b51a5dfac5b50
Abel’s chest shook as he laughed at the thought of field mice, and as a result, the prince’s body also shook. Of course, the prince didn’t raise his head, but Abel continued to talk enthusiastically about field mice. It was his master who taught him these things. Of course, it was the same with other things.f9e43f1c047be35f

When the night tree’s fruit starts to ripen, he goes to the forest and gathers the fruit to extract the oil.
