"Brother...no one, no one..."

"No one? What do you mean?"

"I went to look in the forest and searched for a whole day... But there was no manor or businessman at all... No, there was nothing in it..."

"This...are you sure you've looked carefully? It's just north of Baicheng, in the center of the dead wood forest. Didn't you see it?"

"I've been looking for it all day, but there's nothing there... Wuwuwu..."

The crying became more and more sad, and the weak tone showed that a lot of energy had been spent long before the phone call.

Faced with Bai Niao's statement, Bai Yiyi didn't know what to say.

He has imagined many situations, all kinds of situations.

It is even assumed that the bird dealer and the white bird are fighting.

But what he didn't expect was that the manor actually disappeared and Shiratiao couldn't find him at all.

Wait, could it be that the bird dealer deceived me?

He wasn't even in Deadwood Forest a hundred years ago?

But why? Why did he lie to himself? What did he want?

——

No, that’s not right, the bird dealer probably didn’t lie to himself.

First of all, he said that he stayed in the Deadwood Forest for thousands of years.

Secondly, I have seen the appearance of the manor myself, and its traces of time have been over a hundred years.

It stands to reason that it was already there 100 years ago.

But if that's the case, then why didn't the white bird find it? What on earth is going on?

——

Bai Yiyi couldn't figure it out and felt uneasy.

At this time, the cry of the white bird came again:

"What to do brother... what to do, think of a way..."

"It's okay, it's okay, sister, there will be a way, there will always be a way..."

Having said that, there is actually no idea.

Tonight's five minutes were relatively monotonous, with the brother comforting his sister throughout the whole process until the end.

Although the call time has come, the cry of the white bird still lingers in my ears.

This made Bai Yi, who was already suffering from insomnia, even more unable to sleep.

He glanced at the sleeping Luya next to him. After hesitation, he carefully got out of bed and decided to go out for a walk, hoping to relax.

However, when I passed by the office door, I accidentally discovered that the office lights were still on.

Pushing the door open, he saw old John sitting at the desk, looking at a lot of documents on the table.

"City, Lord of the City?" Seeing Bai Yi coming, Old John was a little surprised, and then he quickly stood up and said:

"Aren't you still going to bed so late?"

"That's what I should ask you."

He walked over with a smile, took a look at the documents, and found that they were some daily matters:

"No wonder I've had a lot less work at hand these past two days. It turns out you're the one doing the hard work."

"I……"

Seeing that he was discovered, Old John no longer concealed anything, but just smiled helplessly:

"You haven't been in good spirits these days, and you don't seem to want to work. I am the deputy city lord, and I should share your worries."

"Then you can't work so late. Can your body handle it?"

"You can eat well, City Lord, you can eat well. Life is much better now than when you didn't come. It's nothing."

"Stop being brave, if you damage your body, I will have to do all the work from now on.

Let’s do this today, go back and rest, and don’t do this again in the future.”

"This... okay, let me clean up first."

As he said that, he started sorting out the files.

Bai Yize took advantage of the situation and asked:

"By the way, how much do you know about the bird dealer?"

"Bird dealer?"

Old John looked puzzled:

"What bird dealer?"

"As for that demon merchant in the Deadwood Forest north of Baicheng, you took me to buy things from him, and now you've forgotten about it?"

Unexpectedly, as soon as these words came out, Old John became more and more confused:

"Um...I don't quite understand what you mean, City Lord, I...have I taken you to buy anything?

Besides, there is nothing in the dead wood forest, and I have never heard of any demon merchants."

"What……"

Bai Yi's brows gradually wrinkled, and he suddenly realized something was wrong.

"You really can't remember?"

"Um... I'm sorry, City Lord, I really have no impression. I don't quite understand what you are talking about. Are you dreaming about something?"

"Back then, when I first came to Baicheng, I bought a lot of grain. It was the businessman you took me to find, and the breeding farm was also built by that businessman. Don't you remember?"

"Um...I don't know if he is a businessman, but isn't that a personal relationship with you, the city lord?"

"Personal relationship?"

"Yes, whether it's buying food or the demons who come to build a breeding farm, these are your friends, City Lord, aren't they?

Just like Lord Demon Dragon Ghost, they are your personal network and your friends.

I'm just an old man, and I don't know them at all..."

These words made Bai Yi completely silent.

Because the old John in front of him didn't have the slightest hint of lying.

It seemed that in his memory, he didn't know any bird dealer at all.

And that bird dealer has been Bai Yi's personal friend from the beginning.

——

Seeing that Bai Yi didn't speak, Old John panicked a little.

"City Lord, City Lord?"

"ah?"

"Although I don't know what happened, your mental state is indeed not very good during this period. You should have a good rest."

Old John believed that the reason why Bai Yi said what he just said was because he didn't distinguish between dreams and reality, and he was not quite sober yet.

Although Bai Yi didn't know why he was like this.

But I was willing to borrow the donkey from Poxia, nodded, and then left after saying some polite words.

——

Bai Yi came to a deserted place.

Quickly dial phone number 1.

Soon, a familiar voice sounded from the other end:

"Staying up late for a long time is not a good habit, my respected Lord Brave."

"Bird dealer, you once said that you stayed in the woods for thousands of years, right?"

"Yes, what's the problem?"

"White Bird called me just now and said that he didn't find you 100 years ago. Also, there seems to be some problems on Old John's side.

He seems to have forgotten you, what is going on?"

"I forgot..."

The bird merchant muttered these three words in a rather helpless tone, but then he smiled and said:

"Hehe...it's just that fate ends here.
To be continued...
