Chapter 69 Possession
"Mother!"
Taniguchi of Yingzui Island, Natalie threw herself into her mother’s arms like a baby swallow returning home, “Why did you take so long to come here!”
Nara stroked her daughter's long hair and said with a smile:
"I've only been away for a month, how long has it been?"
"Yes!" Natalie coquettishly for a while, and then realized that there were people around, and left her mother's arms a little embarrassed.
"How have you been doing while I'm gone?"
"It's okay." Natalie took her mother's hand and walked into the valley, "I also went to Starfall City with Lord Caesar!"
"Did you go to Starfall City?" Nora's face changed slightly.
"That's right." Natalie didn't notice her mother's abnormality, but complained a little wronged, "However, Lord Caesar didn't take me to the Dane family's castle, but let me stroll around the market. "
Nara breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, an inexplicable look of disappointment flashed in her eyes.
The two walked into the valley talking and laughing. Nora looked around and found that the place had changed a lot.
"Huh? Why does it seem that there are a lot of Hewan people?"
"Oh, those are the refugees gathered by Lord Caesar. They just arrived last week, and there are a total of 3,000 people!"
Nora nodded and continued to move forward. She first went to the orphanage to visit the old people and children of the Wandering Crow Tribe, and then went to meet Samwell, and traded the newly collected dozens of ghost grasses to the other side.
"Madam Nora." Samwell accepted the ghost grass, and then asked tentatively, "How did you members of the Raven Tribe find the ghost grass?"
"Master Caesar, we have a minority of people who are favored by the old gods, so they can have a sharper perception than ordinary people."
Samwell heard the other party's ambiguity, so he asked: "Is Natalie also considered a person favored by the old gods?"
Nara hesitated for a while, but finally nodded and said, "Yes."
Samwell probably understood in his heart what the so-called "favor of the old gods" was all about. Seeing that Nora refused to say more, he didn't continue to ask.
Thinking that what really works in silver leaf grass and golden tail shrimp is actually gold and silver, so what is really working in ghost grass?
The blessing of the old gods?
Samwell suddenly felt that he could try eating weirwood...
Of course, this idea is very dangerous. Once it is discovered, it may attract a crazy siege from the believers of the old gods, so even if it is done, it must be done very secretly.
Samwell temporarily suppressed this thought in his heart. After sending Nora away, he returned to the hut alone and ate all the ghost grass he got this time.
Spiritual attributes have also grown to 2.07 smoothly.
After breaking through 2, Samwell clearly felt that the world in front of him seemed to have undergone a slight change.
But I can't tell the specific difference.
He lay down on the bed, relaxed his mind, and tried to find the feeling of being possessed by a bird in his dream that night.
However, the more I tried to find it, the more I couldn't find it.
The chaos of thoughts in his head always makes him unable to concentrate.
Samwell simply tried to go to sleep, but it was only morning, so he couldn't sleep.
While anxious, Samwell suddenly remembered the weirwood tree he saw in his dream last time, especially the old face carved on the trunk.
Come to life, as if right in front of you.
He concentrated all his energy on this face, and gradually calmed down.
A small voice sounded in his ear, seeming to say something, but he couldn't hear anything.
Hoo—
Opening his eyes again, Samwell was surprised to find that he was already soaring above the blue sky!
White clouds and breeze surrounded him, and the vast blue sea passed quickly under him.
Different from the vagueness last time, this time, Samwell clearly felt that everything in front of him was reality!
Moreover, he finally knew that what he possessed was actually an eagle!
Sharp claws and sharp beak, the whole body is brown and black, only the tail has white feathers, and the wings are ten feet long. A pair of eagle eyes can even see the prey thousands of miles away.
This is an artifact of detection!
Samwell was ecstatic in his heart.
Moreover, he found that this time he could manipulate the Falcon to act according to his will.
Samwell seems to have discovered a fun game, manipulating the falcon to fly up and down, skim over the sea, dive between cliffs, and even catch an unlucky mountain mouse.
While playing around, he found that he had unknowingly come to the other side of the bay, and he could already see the outline of Starfall City.
Curious, he simply flew over, wanting to see the appearance of Starfall City from a high altitude.
As it flew closer and closer, the towering tower stood like a sharp sword rising from the ground, standing majestically among the cliffs.
Samwell looked at this spectacular scene, his heart was agitated, and he couldn't help thinking about the day when he would be able to build such a magnificent castle.
But in the next second, his face changed.
Because he noticed that the atmosphere in Starfall City was not right!
There are very few pedestrians on the street, and even if there are, they are in a hurry, and their faces are full of tension and chill.
What happened?
Samwell immediately flew to the Dane family's castle, and found that it had turned into a huge military camp!
Banners of different colors, neatly lined up soldiers, knights in bright armor... The Dane family is clearly preparing for a war!
As for who is the target of the war...
Samwell was startled.
Who else but yourself?
He manipulated the falcon to circle back and forth over Starfall City, continuing to observe the movements of the Dane family, while thinking about the reason why the other party suddenly came to attack him.
It doesn't make sense.
Before, he clearly reached a brandy supply agreement with the acting city lord, which is to send money to the other party.
Could it be that the other party just pretended to agree to his conditions, and then turned around and secretly prepared to attack Yingzui Island?
Is this guy a war freak?
Or do you want to be famous and crazy?
Samwell couldn't figure out why Urik was so determined to fight himself desperately, let alone why the vassals and soldiers in Starfall City were willing to follow an illegitimate child to go crazy.
Are they really so wary of the Hewan people establishing a territory in Yingzui Island?
Samwell sighed, and knew that the matter had come to an end, and it was useless to think too much. All he could do now was to return to Yingzui Island quickly and prepare for war.
You must know that Star Falling City is not far from Yingzui Island, and it can be reached in half a day by boat with a favorable wind.
He roughly estimated the war preparations of the Dane family's army. He felt that it would take three days at the fastest, and a week at the slowest. The warship from Starfall City would probably be forced to land on the coast of Yingzui Island.
Thinking of this, Samwell withdrew his consciousness and sat up suddenly from the bed.
