A Stay-at-home Dad’s Restaurant In An Alternate World

Chapter 1645: No One Knows The Wind Forest Better Than I Do

Mag looked at everyone, and fell silent for a while. After that, he nodded, and said, “Actually, I received a letter today. I’ve obtained Shirley’s latest exact location. If we take action, we have to deeply infiltrate the elven territory, and it will be very dangerous.”

“Does that mean Big Sister Shirley is in danger right now?” Anna asked Mag with a face full of concern.

The others also looked at Mag nervously. This was the first time they heard any news about Shirley.

“She’s a little injured, but her condition is stable at the moment. She’s not in any danger temporarily.” Mag shook his head gently. “But the Wind Forest is completely guarded now, and she isn’t able to get out on her own.”

“In that case, if we have too many people with us, we might be easily discovered. Let me go and bring her back.” Irina looked at Mag, and said, “No one knows the Wind Forest better than I do.”

“Then we’ll have to trouble Your Highness to make that trip,” Mag said with a slight nod.

“She’s my best vanguard. Of course I won’t leave her there alone,” Irina said matter-of-factly.

Mag looked at the others, and said, “I know everyone is worried about Shirley, but the Wind Forest is 10 times more dangerous than the Falk Tribe. Our goal is to bring Shirley back safely. We’ll leave this to Princess Irina.”

Upon hearing that, everyone nodded. Irina was far more powerful than anyone here. If only a minimal number of people could take part in this operation, she would no doubt be the best choice.

“But… Your Highness, Helena would most definitely make you stay at any cost if you went back to the forest,” Firis said worriedly. The scene where they were surrounded in the goblin’s underground cavern was still vivid in her memory. It was really too dangerous to return to the Wind Forest.

“The people that can make me stay aren’t born yet. As long as I want to leave, no one can make me stay,” Irina said with a smile as she patted Firis’s head. “Bean Sprout, wait here obediently for me to come back.”

“I’ll make a move.” Irina glanced at Mag. A golden glow appeared beneath her feet, and she disappeared immediately.

“Everyone, go back first. Maybe you’ll see Shirley when you come tomorrow,” Mag said with a smile.

Everyone bade their farewells and left.

After everyone was gone, Amy looked at Mag, who was about to close the door, and asked, “But Father, I don’t think you told Big Sister Irina the address just now, right?”

“Aiya, I’ve forgotten all about it.” Mag smacked his forehead, and told Amy and Anna, “Looks like Little Amy and Anna have to sleep first tonight. I’ll tell Irina the address, and tell her to bring Shirley back.”

“Uncle Mag, you will really bring Big Sister Shirley back, right?” Anna looked at Mag. Tears were already welling up in her eyes.

“Yes. We will definitely bring her back because she is also a member of our restaurant. Forever.” Mag went up, put his hand on Anna’s head gently with a smile, and said, “Bring Little Amy to sleep, alright? When you wake up tomorrow morning, you will get to see her.”

“Mm-hmm.” Anna nodded her head firmly.

“Let’s go. Big Sister Anna, let’s go to sleep. Father and Big Sister Irina will definitely bring Big Sister Shirley back.” Amy reached her hand out to grab Anna’s hand, and turned to lead her upstairs.

“Meow~”

Ugly Duckling wagged its tail as it followed behind them.

“I’ll get going.” Mag turned to walk out the door, and closed it gently behind him.

“Father, you have to come back safely!” Amy’s voice came from behind the door.

“I will.” The corners of Mag’s lips rose, and he disappeared in front of the restaurant door.

Five minutes later, on the peak of a stone mountain outside the city, Irina was sitting on the back of a griffin. She turned her head to the side to look at Mag, who was sitting behind her. “Is it news from the Gray Temple?”Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on novelenglish.net . (f)ire.ɴet

“No. The Gray Temple still doesn’t have exact news of Shirley yet.” Mag shook his head.

“You lied to them?” Irina frowned.

“No.” Mag shook his head with a smile. “An old friend wrote me a letter to tell me Shirley’s exact location.”

“Old friend? Female?” Irina squinted her eyes.

“Take a look.” Mag could already feel the unusually strong murderous aura. He pulled out the letter obediently, and passed it to Irina while saying, “Let’s go, Ah Zi, we’re going on a night exploration of the Wind Forest!”

“Ow…”

Ah Zi let out a joyous cry, and flapped its wings as it disappeared on the horizon like a sharp arrow.

Cough…

A suppressed coughing sound came from a dimly lit room.

The dim candlelight cast a glow on a pale face. However, he was still as beautiful, just that his lively monolid eyes were cast with weariness.

He used his handkerchief to cover his mouth, and suppressed another two coughs. His beautiful brows were tightly knitted in immense pain. After a while, he removed the handkerchief from his mouth. The white handkerchief was stained with traces of blood. He placed the handkerchief by the bed so that the blood would not stain the white sheets.

Creak.

The door opened, and he tensed up. His right hand gripped the sword that he hid under his pillow tightly.

However, the door was quickly closed, which was followed by quick and gentle steps.

He relaxed and released his grip on the sword.

“I’m back a little late today. I couldn’t find anything suitable for you to eat except for two fruits.” Sally, who was dressed in an elaborate gown, walked over and put two wild red fruits on the bedside table. After that, she took out a little flask. “This is a small flask of the holy water from the Spring of Life. It would be of some help to your injuries.”

Blour propped himself up and slowly sat up. He looked at Sally, and said, “Thank you.”

“You’re welcome. It’s what I should do.” A smile appeared on Sally’s tired face. She passed the fruits to Blour, and helped him open the cap of the flask before sitting on a wooden chair next to the bed.

The two fell silent. There was only the soft sound of Blour chewing the wild fruit.

The two fruits were finished in no time. After drinking the water from the Spring of Life, Blour’s face had more color to it.

Sally kept the flask for him, and softly said, “I’ve written a letter to Mr. Mag.”

Blour froze. He shook his head gently, and said, “You shouldn’t have told them.”

“The search operation for you has been intensified these few days. Helena has issued a death order to find you at all cost. On top of that, she also offered a high reward for you. You won’t be able to leave the Wind Forest safely with just our efforts,” Sally said grievously. “Helena wants me to go to the Tree of Life. I’m afraid I can’t help you any further.”
