["I trust you... Abby's friend... wouldn't lie..."] [The Wildman smiled guilelessly. Without thinking much of it, he gladly agreed to your proposal. Until he returned to Jie Forest, he would accompany you.]
Mu You breathed a sigh of relief. This Wildman really was simplehearted. He had believed him outright without any guarantees or evidence.
Of course, Mu You really had no intention of deceiving him.
In short, he had gained a nine-star fighter for free. And once the Wildman actually remembered the way home, the Paper Crane he had obtained earlier would come in handy. Mu You could follow him to Jie Forest and take a look, killing two birds with one stone.
Next, he needed to head to Dawnbreak City and find materials to brew a Memory Potion. According to Abby, the materials were plentiful in the Fertile Plains terrain around Dawnbreak City, so they should not be difficult to find.
Before leaving, however, there was one more thing to deal with.
[You pointed toward the solitary peak hidden within the distant Crowman Tribe and told the Wildman that you had left something in the Ancients' divine palace at its summit. You hoped he could take you up there.] ["The ancestors' divine palace?" The Wildman looked at the distant mountain, hesitated, and scratched his head awkwardly. "But... the Tribal Chief said... agreement with the God Race... can't set foot in our old settlement again..."] ["But the God Race is already extinct. You no longer need to follow their rules..."]
Mu You discovered that, simplehearted as this Wildman was, his thinking was also rather rigid. Just to settle whether they could visit the divine palace in the sky, Mu You had to come up with dozens of different reasons before finally securing his agreement.
