The Heavens: Cthulhu started from Hokage

"Oh, Auslet, what is your request of me?"

Baiyuan became interested. His contact with the lizard man Oslet was limited to the statue, and his request should be related to the statue.

Auslet's question was beyond Bai Yuan's expectation.

"Mr. Shirabuchi, when we enter the forest later, I hope to be separated from you temporarily because I want to protect Nfirea."

Bai Yuan's brows wrinkled as expected.

Auslet, what are you doing? Where is the spirit of your contract?

The tone behind Auslet's gray hood was regretful.

"Sorry, Mr. Shirabuchi, the Duwu Forest has become more and more dangerous recently. Nfirea has been weak and sick since he was a child. If you are suddenly attacked by monsters, the risk is too great. You are very strong and should protect yourself. s method."

Oslet may have been affected by the massive amount of monsters just now and judged that there was something abnormal in the forest. He didn't know that the monster wave was caused by Mikoto.

In Auslet's words, Bai Yuan noticed his subtext and asked:

"You and Nfirea seem to have a close relationship?"

"Yes, Nfirea is my savior." Auslett nodded.

Later, he told Baiyuan about his bond with Nfirea:

"When I left the village, I was attacked by a monster and jumped into the river seriously injured. My scarred body floated along the river into Kahn Village. Nfirea, who was staying in Kahn Village at that time, saved me. From then on, , I owe him my life."

"That's it." Bai Yuan stroked his palm gently.

"In this case, it is reasonable for you to want to protect Nfirea in the forest that has become dangerous. I have no reason to refuse, but can you tell me——"

Bai Yuan asked the key point.

"What is the reason why the forest has become dangerous? Does it have anything to do with the monster you mentioned?"

Although the previous monster was created by Mikoto, Oslet was not surprised at all. Instead, he made a clean judgment that "the forest is about to become abnormal." Perhaps it was a mistake that made Oslet mistakenly think that there was something big in the forest. is coming.

Auslet sighed softly.

"Mr. Baiyuan's intuition is indeed very keen. Yes, the changes in the mountains are caused by monsters, and the name of that monster is——"

"It's called 'Mountain God'!"

"Mountain God?" Bai Yuan's expression became confused.

He didn't remember any mountain gods appearing in the original plot.

He asked: "Who is the mountain god?"

"Mr. Baiyuan, that's all I'm saying. I don't want to talk about the next thing!"

The sound of teeth touching came from Oslet's gray robe. After saying this, he turned and left, walking quickly.

Bai Yuan's words seemed to ask about his taboos, causing Auslet to lose the idea of ​​talking.

"I really can't do anything about him."

Bai Yuan shook his head, spread his hands upward, and then turned to look at Kahn Village below.

At this time, the high-level goblins in the village were training the villagers in archery. Bursts of laughter came from below. The villagers were poor in archery and made a lot of jokes, but it was also quite interesting. They had seen some old rulers and alien gods. , after the monster, Bai Yuan felt that the daily scenes in front of him had a unique leisure flavor, and he did not feel tired after watching them for a long time.

After a while, a voice came to my ears.

"Mr. Baiyuan, so you are here!" The childish voice was Nfirea's.

Turning his head to look at the trail going down the mountain, Nfirea was running up towards him waving his hand.

"Nfirea, are you okay with communicating with your little girlfriend?" Nfirea came a little early, which surprised Bai Yuan.

"She's... not just a little girlfriend!" Nfirea blushed and was at a loss as to what to do. He hurriedly tried to hide his blushing face, but his unusual movements revealed his inner shyness.

Bai Yuan was right. He just couldn't help but express his feelings to Enri, and the ambiguous relationship between the two took a further step.

"Why don't you strike while the iron is hot?" Bai Yuan said with a smirk.

"Don't make fun of me, I came here specifically to find you!" Nfirea sighed and said aggrievedly.

Bai Yuan's raised corners of his mouth softened and he calmed down a bit.

"Okay, let me hear what you want from me."

Nfirea suddenly bowed deeply to Baiyuan.

"Mr. Baiyuan, please accept me as your disciple. I want to learn magic!"

Ok?

Meow meow meow?

Bai Yuan's expression became strange.

"Aren't you a pharmacist?"

"An excellent pharmacist must also be an excellent magic caster. Some medicines cannot be made by people without magic power."

"Is that so? But you suddenly said you wanted to be my apprentice, and I couldn't adapt to it." Bai Yuan said.

Nfirea bowed again, with a higher arc than before. After standing up, Nfirea pleaded:

"Mr. Baiyuan, if you are willing to accept me as your disciple, I would like to give you all the family's alchemy formulas, and an additional five thousand gold coins!"

Bai Yuan waved his hand slightly.

"You don't have to do this. It's just magic. If you want it, I'll teach it to you after you return. But how much you can learn depends on your ability."

"Ok!"

Nfirea smiled with surprise and nodded heavily.

"Then let's go down the mountain first. The team should have finished resting."

Baiyuan and Nfirea walked down the hillside together and arrived at the entrance of the village where the carriage was parked.

At this time, Ainz Ooal Gown, Narberal, the Black Sword, and Oslet had all gathered here.

After replenishing supplies, the carriage was so full of bulging sacks that everyone had to dismount and walk.

Nfirea, who was in a happy mood, jumped up to the waiting impatient horse, followed closely by Bai Yuan.

The genius magic caster of the Black Sword noticed the more "close" relationship between Nfirea and Shirabuchi, with a complicated expression.

"Nfirea has already revealed to me that he wants to learn magic. He was so close to Mr. Shirabuchi just now, so he must be a disciple of Mr. Shirabuchi. I'm also thinking..."

Nina murmured, but he was hesitant in his heart.

Not only because of the self-esteem of the self-proclaimed genius, but more importantly, although he has always presented himself as a man, in the conservative feudal society, he is a group that needs to pay more attention to "reservation".

Nina clenched her fists, then relaxed them, and sighed quietly.

"That's all, even if I go to become a disciple, Mr. Baiyuan won't like me. My powers are not as good as Nfirea's. Instead of humiliating myself, it's better to be calm." He thought in his mind like this. comfort.

At this moment, all the members of the forest herbal operation have gathered. The sun is setting in the sky and it is night. The reason why we travel at night is because dreamleaf grass only grows under the moonlight.

Nfirea waved his little hand upward and said proudly:

"Let's go!"

The packhorse raised its four hooves, and the group set off, marching toward the dark Duwu Forest in the distance under the bone-white moonlight.
