I'm working as a warehouse manager in SCP

Zhang Jue retched, and wiped the blood from his feet on the dirt beside him.

Then he raised his head and looked around.

I don't know if it was his delusion.

After killing the little murloc, the atmosphere in the entire forest seemed to have changed, becoming more depressing, gloomy and terrifying.

"Crack-"

There was the sound of branches being stepped on.

"Who is there?"

Zhang Jue turned around.

In the depths of the forest, a tall figure staggered and fled.

Zhang Jue narrowed his eyes and licked his lips.

Because he found that the man who ran away seemed to have a dog's head.

……

Thank you Dongmen Xiaoling for your reward.

Chapter 329 The Lord of the Forest

The forest is full of thorns, and the kobold seems to have some problems with his body. He is uncoordinated and staggers after a few steps.Zhang Jue was not in a hurry to chase after it, so he kept it in sight and followed it neither far nor near.

When things came to an end, he was less fanatical.

MRW.

Knowing that such an organization was targeting him, instead of being afraid, Zhang Jue felt faintly excited.

It was as if a hidden gene in the body had been activated.

He once said to Yang Wenbo that fighting with others is a lot of fun.

Yes, some projects in the Authority are indeed interesting, but they are still not as exciting as fighting wits with humans.

Not only that, this organization found Dr. Li on the first day he came here, and it is very likely that it has something to do with the secret of his time travel.

This is something he has to figure out.

In the dark, he always felt that this matter revealed something strange.

While pinching his fingers, he looked at the creature that looked like a kobold but was actually Yu Hongbo, and walked into a building.

Prior to this, the researchers of the Authority had seen various houses in this forest.

However, most of them are wooden huts, which are more in line with the style of painting here.

But this time, what appeared in front of Zhang Jue was a castle.

And it was so big that Zhang Jue didn't know when it appeared.

Vaguely, it seemed that bats flew out of it.

He seems to have come to the Middle Ages all of a sudden.

If that's the case, there's probably a wizard like Duruk living in it.

Two minutes later, Zhang Jue came to the castle.

Bigger than expected.

The thick wooden door is as high as a three-story building, and it seems to be carved from a single piece of wood. I don't know how thick the original tree is.

The edge of the wooden door is covered with brass, and some places have been patinaed, giving it a sense of history.

There was only this entrance, there was no doorbell, and Zhang Jue didn't see how Yu Hongbo got in just now.

He was thinking about whether it would be a sin to chop the door with a knife, when the door creaked open.

A man with the head of a parrot stepped out of it.

"Consultant Zhang, the master welcomes you."

It has a calm tone and doesn't seem hostile.

In this forest, Zhang Jue would not find it strange what happened.

Anyway, the taboos that should be committed have already been committed, and I am not afraid of any traps.

He shrugged and followed the parrot into the castle.

The castle is huge, bigger than it looks from the outside.

Zhang Jue followed the parrot man and walked up dozens of steps. He even began to wonder if the other party wanted to exhaust him to death by climbing the stairs.

Just when he was about to ask, the parrot finally stopped and stopped at the door of a huge room.

"Mr. Zhang, please come in."

He opened the door a crack, and made a gesture of invitation with his right hand, very gentlemanly.

Now that you have come here, even if it is a dragon's lake and a tiger's den, you have to go through it.

Zhang Jue swaggered into the room.

The furnishing of the house is very simple.

On the left is a huge bookshelf filled with all kinds of huge books.

In front is a rectangular table, which seems to be the kind of dining table in the West.

On the opposite side of the dining table, there is a huge high-backed chair with its back facing Zhang Jue.

A "person" was sitting on it, and because his back was facing, Zhang Jue couldn't see his appearance clearly.

Probably hearing Zhang Jue's footsteps, the high-back chair turned slowly, and finally faced Zhang Jue.

"Hello, Consultant Zhang."

An owl sits on it, wearing a pair of round glasses.

The other party's movement of turning the chair reminded Zhang Jue of a certain music program, and he almost shouted "I want you!".

But the other party probably didn't know about this stalk, and Zhang Jue didn't bother to cast the pearl secretly.

"Uncle Owl, may I ask, who are you?"

Zhang Jue's tone was lazy, which seemed to be the same for everyone.

Some need to be beaten.

But the other party was not angry.

"I forgot to introduce myself, I am the owner of this forest, you can call me Rahan."

Lord of the Forest?interesting.

"That is to say, Mr. Lahan, you made all the rules in this forest?"

"Only part of it." The owl raised its glasses with its wings, "Consultant Zhang, you should know that those goblins themselves have very powerful power, and it is already very difficult for me to suppress them here and prevent them from going out."

Zhang Jue looked at it: "So, you are not with them."

The owl smiled: "Yes, and no."

"Don't say these are useless, I have a headache, Riddler 4000+."

The owl didn't know what 4000+ meant, but judging by Zhang Jue's expression, it was definitely not a good word.

It explained: "Consultant Zhang, have you ever heard of a plant called Huanghu, which has many parasites on it, and it can secrete venom, but it rarely uses venom to kill these insects, because it needs these insects as a Only when the number of insects reaches a certain level and starts to threaten the growth of the yellow beard, it will release the venom to control the number of insects within a certain range."

The explanation of the owl is easy to understand, and a few sentences explain its relationship with the fairies.

Like an enemy but not an enemy, like a friend but not a friend.

"But what does this have to do with me?" Zhang Jue asked.

"Yes, of course there is."

said the owl.

"Because according to the rules I made, if you go back, they can kill you. You killed the murloc instead. Now their group is looking for you. I know that you are not afraid of them, Advisor Zhang, and you can even kill them all. But that's not what I want to see."

The tone of the owl is calm, not like lying.

According to the yellow beard plant he just said, Zhang Jue can also understand the reason why it brought him here.

If he went on a killing spree and killed all the goblins here, it would be an unbearable loss for this forest.

"Since you brought me here before those goblins found me, you must have a solution." Zhang Jue spread his hands, "Tell me, see if I can accept it, everyone is so familiar , anything can be discussed.”

"Consultant Zhang is really smart." Owl said, "I know that you came here to find someone, and this person is in my hands now, let's make a deal."

Zhang Jue has been in this world for more than a year, and has done countless transactions, but he has always proposed this proposal to others, and this is the first time that someone else initiates the transaction.

Zhang Jue is essentially a profiteer, and he will never lose money. It is best for him to trade such things.

He sat down on the chair here, facing the owl, as if two companies were negotiating business.

"Tell me, let me listen first."

The owl on the opposite side is sitting upright.

"Consultant Zhang, I will hand over the person you are looking for to you intact. At the same time, I will personally send you out of this forest on the condition that you will never set foot here again."

The purpose of Zhang Jue's coming here was to find Yu Hongbo. After finding Yu Hongbo, there was really no need to enter here again.

If it were someone else, I'm afraid they would have agreed.

But who is Zhang Jue, a person who has plucked the wild goose, how could he agree easily, he must strive for a little more benefits.

This is called sitting on the ground and starting the price.

Zhang Jue laughed: "Mr. Lahan, it sounds like you don't welcome me very much."

"Consultant Zhang, if it were you, would you let a man with a bomb wander around your home?"

"I'm not carrying any weapons. You let me go through the subway security check now. There is no problem at all."

The owl sighed: "Because you, Consultant Zhang, are the most terrifying humanoid weapon."

"Damn, be careful, I will sue you for slander!" Zhang Jue slapped the table, "You slander me so much, I don't agree to this condition."

"Um, Consultant Zhang, I didn't mean that, don't get me wrong."

No matter how it explained, Zhang Jue just hugged his shoulders and said nothing, as if his angry girlfriend couldn't be coaxed if he didn't buy a bag.

The owl felt that he had been tricked, and said helplessly: "Consultant Zhang, you can tell me what additional conditions you have. If you can meet them, I will definitely satisfy you."

"Really?" Zhang Jue squinted at it.

"Really!" Owl said helplessly.

"Okay, then I have to think about it..."

Zhang Jue squeezed his chin, looked around, and his eyes fell on the huge bookshelf: "Brother Cat, I think your books are good, give me a few."

The owl quickly shook its head: "No, these are all my treasures!"

"Okay, you just said that you can satisfy me, and now you regret it?"

Zhang Jue snorted coldly: "I tell you, if you don't promise me today, I won't leave!"

The owl obviously didn't want to annoy Zhang Jue, and said, "Consultant Zhang, it's because I don't want to give you these books, because these books are all about magic, and you're not a magician—"

"I could be the one!"

Zhang Jue interrupted it immediately.

He now has a staff from Merlin, and he can already cast some simple magic.

Wouldn't it be even more powerful if there were some more spells?

The ones that can be placed here by this owl must be good products, so don't reject them for nothing.

Seeing Zhang Jue's fiery eyes, the owl knew that he was bleeding heavily, otherwise he would not be able to drive away the hungry wolf.
