Crow

Back in his room, Han Dong completely ignored Mia, who was peering out the window.

After using the well water I had prepared beforehand and completing a series of washing and grooming steps, I lay down on the bed and went to sleep.

Seeing that Han Dong completely ignored her.

Mia pouted, looking quite Life Force, and quickly crawled away...

"That's strange... Given Mia's personality, she should try to climb into the room and argue with me. Oh well, let's go to sleep."

She slept until nearly noon the next day.

When Han Dong came out of the room, the entire team was gathered on the first floor, eating the convenient food they had brought with them.

in.

Mia stopped clinging to him and deliberately stayed close to Abel... The two chatted with great interest about their studies while eating lunch.

During this time, Mia also turned her gaze to Han Dong, seemingly conveying a message of 'stealing a man'.

With a helpless expression, Han Dong took out the mixed grains from his bag and sat alone in the stairwell to eat... his mind was filled with thoughts about the [Ghoul Factory].

Just then, a field of power came from behind.

"Is there something you need, Wenli?"

"Ah... Vice Captain, how did you know I was looking for you?"

"Your hand is practically on my shoulder, who else would you turn to if not me?"

"Hehe! Could you make room for me? I'd like to have lunch with the Vice Captain."

"Um."

Han Dong moved to the left.

Winry plopped down in her seat, clutching a huge steak covered in cheese.

With her fiery red ponytail, black muscle vest, and loose linen pants, coupled with her muscular physique and tanned skin, Winry's unpretentious and exaggerated eating habits, she looked stunning.

He doesn't look like a Knight-Errant at all; he looks more like a construction worker carrying bricks.

"Vice Captain, would you like some?" Wen Li pulled out a compressed sausage from somewhere.

"No."

Winnie had no choice but to put the sausage on top of the steak to increase the meat's weight.

"Um... Vice Captain! Actually, there's something I want to ask you... Well, it's because the team's operations are basically decided by you."

Today we're heading to the "Barn" area. May I go first?

I didn't get anything done yesterday, and I almost hurt you... I wanted to do something for the team, otherwise I felt so useless... Ah! Ouch! I bit my tongue!

Wenli bit her tongue excitedly, almost dropping the steak in her hand.

"Sure."

Upon hearing Han Dong's reply, Wen Li immediately forgot her pain. "Ah! That's great, thank you, Vice Captain."

Because I did nothing yesterday, I felt guilty all night.

When she heard that Han Dong was going to assign her the task of leading the charge, she excitedly opened her free arm and hugged Han Dong tightly.

The body, enhanced by the G-Virus, produced a sound of bone compression when subjected to such pressure.

"Let go..."

"I'm sorry..." Winry looked apologetic and asked, "Captain, do you have any weapons or armor that need to be made recently? Although I'm not as good as my master, I can still use advanced furnaces and forging tables, so I should be able to meet your needs."

"I will contact you when I need something."

Han Dong naturally had such plans as well. The "Plague Doctor's Short Blade" would eventually reach its usage limit... Han Dong could make plans for the next weapon in advance.

"By the way, can you craft staffs?"

"Sure... We can melt and manufacture magic crystals. The Vice Captain can contact me anytime after this training camp ends."

"Good."

"Then... Vice Captain, shall we exchange contact information?"

"OK."

After lunch.

The Newcomer team, now fully recovered, set out again for the "Wheat Field District".

The "barn" deduced from the clues is located at the boundary between the wheat field and the forest area.

Next to the barn stands a dilapidated windmill about ten meters high.

On the decaying windmill blades stood three 'neutral' [Crow People].

Crow Head and was covered in feathers, but below its head it was human-shaped... It was perched on the windmill blades, its black eyes watching the group of people passing by below.

If they sense any danger, these crow-men will quickly fly back to the forest.

"Go to the barn first and submit the clue to the gatekeeper... I'll be there in a bit."

"OK."

Han Dong deliberately lingered at the bottom of the windmill, raising his head to Eye Contact the [Crow Man].

Han Dong had seen a ' Two-Headed Crow Person ' when he entered the Gayn Forest.

There was a brief Eye Contact, which gave Han Dong a very strange feeling... as if he could communicate normally with such a crow-like, Wild Monster.

This feeling is especially strong Eye Contact these crow-men up close.

Why do we feel this way?

Han Dong suspects that there is a connection between the origin of the "Lesser Demon Eye," the "Faceless Head," and the mark given by the Crow Prophet.

Perhaps the formation of these crow people is fundamentally related to the head.

How to communicate?

Han Dong recalled how the Yellow Robe had communicated with him.

Han Dong bent down and placed his right palm on the ground.

Tentacles sprouted from his palm, recalling the strange characters that only the Lesser Demon Eye could understand... Cackling! As the tentacles moved, Han Dong wrote a string of twisted characters in the rice paddy.

It roughly means. "It's a pleasure to meet you all."

Upon receiving the text message, the crow-man immediately cawed, seemingly quite excited.

Han Dong tried to wave to them.

To everyone's surprise, the three crow-men immediately flapped their wings and swooped down.

The team that had just arrived at the barn turned around at the sound of crows and witnessed the crow-men swooping down.

Thinking the crows were planning to attack the lone Han Dong, they were preparing to provide support.

What happened next stunned the entire team. (The barn's main entrance faced the other side, and the knight on guard hadn't seen the windmill.)

The three crow-men that swooped down squatted in front of Han Dong, motionless and very obedient.

Although the crow people have black, sturdy beaks.

However, due to the effect of 'anthropomorphism', a mouth structure has evolved under the bird's beak and it is equipped with a vocal cord structure... possessing basic language ability.

They squatted in front of Han Dong, eager to communicate.

"Bring... bring... bring... bring people."

"Oh? It can actually talk."

Han Dong looked surprised.

However, with such a low level of language ability, communication is still somewhat difficult.

Han Dong tried to reach out and place his hand on the forehead of the crow-man in the middle to communicate with him.

To everyone's surprise... the crow-man who was touched actually rubbed against her, looking quite comfortable.

Han Dong also tried touching the other two crow people, and felt as if he had adopted three wild pets.

During his lifetime, Han Dong really liked pets like cats and dogs. Occasionally petting a cat could calm his restless mind.

Petting cats and dogs is perfectly normal.

Crow hunters.

Well... for the people of the Holy City, this is at least an unprecedented achievement.
