Chapter 67 Love can make bones grow flesh and blood, even insects can.

"The situation inside the Dark Forest has changed. Let's go in and talk about it."

,

Mavis had her servant bring Gianna breakfast, indicating that they could talk while eating.

"Ginnell asked."

"What changes have occurred in the Dark Forest? Don't tell me that those skeletons and insects suddenly gained intelligence and retreated deep into the forest to gather their strength for a big attack."

""

Mavis looked at him strangely and casually picked up a piece of bread from the plate and started chewing.

"If only it were that simple."

"It's not unheard of for dungeon monsters to riot and rush out en masse, even attacking cities."

"Our Giant Beast Knights aren't incapable of killing monsters. The city also has ballistae and magic cannons forged by dwarves and goblins. We'll kill as many as they come."

""

Both of these are powerful weapons in positional warfare, not to mention the firepower provided by the mages from the Mage Guild and the National Magic Academy.

The reason why a dungeon is a dungeon is because the intelligent races on the surface are confident that they can keep the monsters inside.

Genele took a sip of hot milk and asked.

"What has changed? Has the river here changed course, or has the mountain over there stood up and moved to a different spot?"

Mavis shook her head.

"What you're talking about is something giants would do, not in the dungeons. At least according to Silver Star City's official records, there are no giant monsters in the Dark Forest."

"The swarm and the skeletons have cooperated."

""

For a moment, Gianna's mind went blank, and even her active spirit and magic became completely still, like a stagnant pool.

What is that?

"The bugs and the skeletons are teaming up, right?"

Gianna counted on her fingers for a moment, then looked up.

"Tell me, how many of these two together would it take to piece together a complete, highly intelligent brain?"

Mavis waved her hand weakly, indicating that it was useless for her to tell her this.

"Ginnell, although I can't tell you the source of this information, I can tell you that this intelligence came from the higher-ups in Silver Star City."

"Furthermore, we dispatched an exploration team early this morning to investigate. Apart from not seeing any concrete signs of cooperation, all other details matched the intelligence relayed from higher-ups."

A glint flashed in Ginnell's eyes as he realized that this so-called high-level channel must be that goblin, Dura.

If Gianna didn't know who wanted to take action against the tavern before, she now pretty much does.

Dura reminded him that someone wanted to take action against the tavern, and Mavis now said that the higher-ups in Silver Star City had sent information from an unknown source.

After comparing the two sides, the area behind the person has actually shrunk considerably.

Ginnell pretended nothing had happened and said.

"Mavis, do you want me to go with you to check the situation?"

'

Mavis shook her head.

"Just reminding you, after all, you live there and are your cousin's friend."

"To be honest, if no one had reminded me, I would have dared to lead the adventurers from the association in to investigate the situation."

"But when those people upstairs said something so nonsensical, I became hesitant to bring anyone in."

When the situation is unclear, do you lead your combat companions and the adventurer team from the Adventurers' Guild into the Dark Forest?

That's too dangerous.

Ginnell laughed and couldn't help but clap his hands at Mavis.

"Not bad, not bad. Although you are just an ordinary giant beast knight, the cultural and educational level of the Gran family is still excellent."

Mavis's idea, in summary, boils down to one point.

He served as a bridge between the Silver Star City leadership and the Adventurers' Guild; he was essentially a clerk.

Since the message has come from above, it means that the higher-ups have other channels and trust their own channels more.

Row.

Then I'll wait for the big shot's instructions.

Before that, I will not act on my own initiative, and apart from the most basic camp operations, I will not ask the Adventurers' Guild to do anything extra.

Unless you slam a formal action report and transfer order on my desk and make me ask the Adventurers' Guild to do something.

Mavis laughed and raised the milk towards Gianna.

"Of course, the family's teaching team is still very capable."

"Putting everything else aside, if we stay at this camp for a couple more days, we can eat bread made by those top bakers in the city for a couple more days, right?"

""

Mavis thought for a moment and handed a token of identity to Ginell.

"I can't run into you every day, this thing will ensure you can freely enter and leave the camp."

"Your orc friend should be in the camp, but that kid Morin is out of the question."

Mavis wore a genuine smile.

"Although I don't know how you did it, news has come from the Mage Guild that a group of mage apprentices will soon be taking certification tests, and Morin is one of them."

Genele raised an eyebrow.

Are the guilds moving that fast? The field card has already been used once?

Very well, many of the acquaintances who had been to the tavern participated in the certification test, including Maureen, the card shill.

There are examples to study regarding the speculations about card evolution.

Just as Genelec picked up a garlic bread, a sharp whistle suddenly rang out in the camp.

"There's a monster!"

'

The whistle and the sound of arrows piercing the air faded into the distance. Mavis immediately stood up and dashed out like a whirlwind.

Gianna slowly finished her bread and followed him out.

The watchtower was on alert and had already launched an attack, so it wasn't a big problem.

As one of the camp leaders, Mavis naturally had to go out. If an outsider like him rushed out with him, it would easily cause chaos in management.

Since things have come to this, I'll eat some bread before going out.

Gah!

The familiar strange noise instantly swept through the room. Ginnell stopped chewing immediately, frowned, grabbed the milk next to him, and gulped down a large mouthful.

Why are there bugs again?!

Could the information Dura gave to the high-ranking officials in Silver Star City be false?

He didn't care about skeletons, but the swarm of insects was different; they were monsters from the second level.

Ginnell immediately went outside and saw the camp's watchtowers firing continuously at the ground below, while the roars of adventurers could be heard from ahead.

The creaking and groaning noises continued, but the subsequent chopping sounds of sharp blades made Ginnell's expression change.

This sound is wrong.

Has the bug evolved to its second stage, or is it an elite monster? It can actually make that kind of sound when it collides with the adventurer's weapon.

A thunderous sound rang out, and the Arctic Rock Rhinoceros with a large gun strapped to its side charged out from behind Ginnell, letting out a muffled roar when it saw him.

Danger?

That's normal!

"If there were no danger and you made such a commotion, I wouldn't dare go out!"

'

Ginell also rushed out and saw a scene that shocked him greatly.

The creatures currently battling the adventurers are a bunch of humanoid monsters.

To be precise, the skeleton monster was covered in swarms of constantly moving insects.
