In the dark town street, Xu Mu and Luya laughed and chatted, and their voices seemed to illuminate the place.

The town also responded in time, and soon two town guards in armor appeared. They came towards Xu Mu and Luya with spears in their hands.

"Hey, you guys! Are you impatient?"

Xu Mu breathed a sigh of relief, you know that they had finally seen someone after entering the town for a long time.

Xu Mu and Luya had no intention of riding a horse. It is logical that civilians need to dismount immediately when they responded, but they did not have this awareness at all.

Luya rarely knows such things, but Xu Mu doesn't understand them at all. Even if she understands them, she probably doesn't bother to pay attention to them.

Xu Mu wore a hooded cloak and looked at the guard with her eyes exposed: "Is there anything wrong?"

When the two guards saw Xu Mu, Luya did not dismount and cursed: "Don't you get off the horse quickly!"

Seeing the guard like this, Luya was so scared that she quickly got off the horse. She dared to be naughty in front of Xu Mu, but she was used to accepting the habit in front of other humans.

Xu Mu stared at the guard's expression for a while, and then he got off immediately after thinking about it. After all, it was a secret matter for him to come to the Northern Forest from the Magic Academy. If you can cause less trouble, just cause some trouble.

The two guards were relieved and their expressions relaxed, which made Xu Mu feel strange.

"You are not locals?"

Xu Mu had thought about the words facing such situations before coming, and smiled and said, "It's true that's not. My sister and I are travelers from the south."

"Oh? What are you doing here?"

"Of course I want to see the beautiful scenery of the kingdom."

Before the guard came, he heard the laughter and joy of Xu Mu and the others. He did not look like a person holding a bad intention. He nodded and was too lazy to check his identity certificate.

"It's not that I scold you angrily, but pay attention next time. It doesn't matter if you ride a horse elsewhere, but here, don't ride a horse!"

Xu Mu was very surprised and asked quickly: "Is there something going on in this town? Why did I never see any pedestrians after entering the town... Also, what does it mean not to ride a horse?"

The two guards may have taken care of something, and then looked around and whispered: "Don't say I didn't remind you... The son of this fiefdom nobleman is only 1.4 meters tall, and he can't stand others taller than him... If you see him on the road, remember to bend down! Bend to a height shorter than him, otherwise he will be furious! Last time, a civilian ordered his leg to be cut off by him before he could bend down!"

Luya was also wearing a hooded cloak, she covered her mouth and exclaimed: "No way!"

"Ah...Who knows about the nobles? So I just asked you to dismount for your own good! After all, you look taller when riding a horse." The guard smiled bitterly, "As for why there are no people in the town? It's just because the civilians dare not go out... As for the reason, it's still related to the noble son... The fiefdom of the nobles was still in the town, but it's okay, and his son was worried about something. But the fiefdom of the nobles went to the capital to attend the noble tea party, so they were not at home. Now no one cares about him in the fiefdom... Then no one goes out, just for fear of something happening."

Xu Mu woke up and nodded and thanked the guards.

The guard smiled bitterly and waved his hand to say nothing happened: "It's nothing... This town hasn't been a long time since I was born. You and your sister will find a hotel early to stay in. Let's leave tomorrow morning... There is nothing fun near this town. By the way, it's very close to the northern forest, so remember not to get close to it."

Xu Mu was about to respond, and Luya immediately asked: "Sir Guardian, why can't you get close to the northern forest?"

When I heard Luya's voice sound good and called him an adult, I felt a little more beautiful. I explained: "Because the northern forests occupy a huge area, there are monsters in it... Of course, it is mainly the residence of the kingdom forests, and the fiefdom nobles also issued orders to prevent people from approaching the northern forests, saying that the forests are very dangerous. I also heard that the forests would go out late at night to eat people... Anyway, don't get close."

When it comes to foresters who can eat people, they still look confident and obviously believe in this matter.

Luya was obviously stunned and wanted to speak immediately, but was stopped by Xu Mu.

"Thank you."

The two guards nodded and turned around and left.

Xu Mu and Luya also walked slowly with their horses. After the guards were far away, Luya hurriedly said, "What are they saying? How can we forest people eat people!"

Xu Mu curled his lips: "I guess the nobles in the fiefdom want to block the northern forests, but they don't want the people to have social interactions with you foresters..."

Luya was so happy that she was able to go home. After all, she heard others say that people of her race would eat humans. How could such a ridiculous thing make her happy...

Seeing Luya's expression depressed, Xu Mu raised her hand and rubbed her hood head a few times: "Remember, next time you want to eat a human to satisfy your craving, you can consider me. We are not stingy people, so I will give you a little finger."

"Sir! This joke is not funny at all!"

Even though he said so, Luya still laughed out loud.

"It is a good thing to be able to laugh. Since you can see what other people's prejudice is, this is a good thing, because it also makes it convenient for you to change this problem in front of you... When people are biased against something, it is difficult to change prejudice, because most people will not express the prejudice in their hearts. Since you already know their prejudice, it is more convenient for you foresters to explain it, otherwise... If you don't know something, you are afraid that you don't know that people in this small town think that foresters are cannibalistic."

Luya nodded thoughtfully: "I understand, sir."

"Okay! Don't say so much, let's find a hotel to stay in. We'll go into the northern forest tomorrow morning! You have to listen to the guards, otherwise what if you really meet that 'dwarf' on the road? I'm afraid my legs are cut off and they're taller than him."

Listening to Xu Mu's joke, Luya laughed again and nodded quickly.

Luya has been walking with Xu Mu these days. The journey should have been boring and boring. After all, she has walked alone through the long road. She always feels boring when walking on the road, especially in winter, the wind is strong and cold, and the scenery nearby is not that beautiful.

But it’s different to being Xu Mu. Occasionally, he always tells some jokes and makes her laugh out loud. It’s very interesting. Xu Mu even tells her some small stories that she hasn’t heard of.

No wonder Ailu likes being with Xu Mu so much...

After they found a hotel, they got up and rushed to the northern forest after a break.

Regardless of this time, the two of them did not ride a horse, but placed the horse in the inn for storage and took their luggage to travel.

After leaving the town, Xu Mu and Luya didn't walk far towards the northern forest, they saw guards on the road, and it seemed that pedestrians were not allowed to enter the northern forest.

Of course, they would not pay attention to these guards anymore and sneaked in directly using magic.
