The letter has arrived; the orcs belonging to the land will rush towards the Xia clan…

Cangmu Yuya fed the two birds with the clan's bird food, then took the letter the birds brought to Mo Rong.

“These runes look like the script of a certain clan, but I can’t decipher them,” Mo Rong said, frowning as she held the unfolded letter.

He pondered for a moment, then handed back the letter written on animal hide, instructing Azurewood Crow to take good care of the two birds. He added, "Greysien and Dawn have just brought Little Chick back. Give these two letters and the two messenger birds to them and have them take them to Lan. During this time, the clan will provide the messenger birds with food."

Mo Rong quickly wrote out the mission briefing with a few swift strokes and handed it to Cang Mu Yu Ya. Cang Mu Yu Ya took the mission briefing and turned to find Long.

After the road between the mountain habitat and the grassland habitat is completed, Xia will regularly send out a team to transport supplies between the two habitats at the beginning of each season. Orcs who want to hitch a ride can choose to pay three one-copper coins to travel together.

At other times, if orcs want to travel between the two habitats, they can choose to hike together or rent a vehicle. There is also a more special case: receiving a quest that requires traveling to another habitat.

For example, in this "messenger bird incident," Greysien and his group received a mission and were about to head to the grassland habitat.

At this moment, in the Xia clan's grassland habitat, the cloud-flying magpies and other beastmen, who were waiting for the birds to arrive, had no idea that their clan's messenger bird had mistaken them for beastmen.

Two days have passed since their conversation with Lan at the second training ground. They have already written a letter to the clan chief on animal parchment.

“Yunxing, let’s stay in the Xia Clan a little longer after we receive the clan leader’s reply. I don’t want to leave here until the truth of this matter comes out,” said a beastman from the Wise Clan, his expression not at ease.

The other wise clan orcs echoed in agreement.

Upon hearing this, Yunxing Yuque nodded without hesitation: "I share the same thought. I will definitely find the orcs who use our clan's script to prove our clan's innocence."

The mundane daily routine continues, and time keeps moving forward, one day after another.

During these days of waiting for the messenger birds of the Wise Clan to arrive on the grasslands, Jiang Yunlan issued a task: to select the orcs in charge of the housing sales office through an examination, officially announcing that orcs could now purchase houses. Of course, only orcs from the summer could buy houses.

The orc, who had long wanted to change houses, was excited and rushed to the sales office based on the information given in the announcement.

Many more orcs were still standing below the bulletin board, their eyes lighting up as they stared at Lan's newly released "New Regulations for Street Vendors." Once they rented a stall, wouldn't they have their own shop, just like the shops in their tribe?

Although their shop is just a small cart, if they set up a stall in the trading area, there are police officers maintaining order all day long. Finally, they don't have to worry about unreasonable customers/stall owners suddenly starting a fight with them, causing them to be punished by doing manual labor, patrolling, or cleaning.

As for the accompanying "Copyright Protection Law" and "Patent Law," I didn't understand them, so they're not important. Anyway, the teachers from the academy will go to the clan square to explain them in a few days, so just go and listen then.

The orcs standing in front of the bulletin board chattered excitedly, curious about what items would appear in the trading area, and made plans to visit together when it opened.

Unlike their joy, Jiang Yunlan was troubled about what kind of ship her clan should build first. The liquid from the teardrop-shaped fruit could be used on wood to prevent water from corroding the ship. All the prerequisites for a wooden sailboat were met; the only thing troubling her was the type and size of the ship.

She really liked and wanted all the blueprints that 022 showed her.

Just as she was agonizing over which to choose, Maple Syrup suddenly appeared beside her and stopped. Hearing the sound, she looked up and asked in confusion, "What is it?"

“Two messenger birds have arrived at the mountain habitat, and this is a message tied to their legs. I guess it must be from the Sage Clan,” Maple Syrup said, handing over two unfolded pieces of parchment.

Taking the parchment, Jiang Yunlan first pinched the edge of the paper, guessing in her mind what the paper was made of, before slowly looking at the contents of the paper.

The script looked remarkably familiar, almost like runes. She glanced at it, nodded to Maple Syrup, and said with a hint of surprise, "Yes, these are letters from the Wise Clan. How did these letters end up in the Mountain Habitat?"

She clearly remembered that the orcs of the Wise Clan lived in their grassland habitat.

"The returning team said the messenger bird landed directly on the shoulder of the Azurewood Crow, probably mistaking it for an orc," Maple Syrup replied.

Jiang Yunlan was reminded by these words. She suddenly realized that the messenger bird that flew out from Xiafei might very well encounter the organization hiding in the shadows.

It seems she should have a serious discussion with Yunxing Yuque and the others. Given the premise that the messenger bird's messages will be seen by the organization, how should they be written to obtain the necessary information without alerting the organization?

She stood up and casually picked up the ship's blueprints, placing them in Maple Syrup's hands. "Please keep the blueprints safe. Who has those two messenger birds? I need to take them to the orcs of the Wise Clan."

"They were on the shoulders of the jays."

Two birds, each longer than half an arm of a raven, perched on his shoulders, their red feathers shimmering in the sunlight.

Jiang Yunlan walked over and immediately recognized the red bird as a messenger bird. It was so conspicuous; it was hard not to recognize it.

When Greysien and his group, who had just returned to the grasslands, saw her coming over, they greeted her cheerfully.

She responded to each of them without lingering, and immediately led Azurewood Crow to find the orcs of the Wise Clan. Greysien and Dawn learned of the messenger birds and the Wise Clan from her and followed without hesitation.

The large bird she didn't recognize, Little Chirp, scurried after her like a roaming chicken. A sense of familiarity made her realize in an instant that the slender, beautiful bluebird was Little Chirp.

Little Chirp, who had evolved into a new species, looked up at Lan with a puzzled expression, her every move still carrying her old habits.

"Welcome back, Little Chirp." Jiang Yunlan, having adapted to its new form, made up for the words she hadn't said to it earlier.

It responded to Lan with a "chirp chirp chirp" sound, spun around proudly, and spread its wings, which could almost cover Lan, to show Lan its current power. Now, it would never be afraid of Lan feeding it poisonous mushrooms again.

Its wings are huge, and it flies incredibly fast; Lan definitely couldn't catch it.

Little Chirp walked proudly beside the morning glow, but soon stopped. An unfamiliar orc appeared before it; it was an orc from the Wise Clan.

Yunxing Yuque took the letter from Jiang Yunlan, looked at the messenger bird perched on Cangmu Yuya's shoulder, and was completely bewildered.

"Huh? How come the messenger bird is on the shoulder of a Xia clan orc? I remember our clan's messenger bird isn't this unreliable." One of the Sage clan orcs wanted to cover his face.

How can we convince Lan that the messenger birds can deliver messages to the chieftain, based on their behavior?

After reading the letter, Yunxing Yuque looked up at Cangmu Yuya and comforted her people, "The feathered beastman that the letter bird approached is of the same kind as me, which is why the letter bird mistook the beastman for a human."

“Lan, one of the two letters we received was from the clan chief,” Yunxing Yuque said, waving the letter in her left hand. “Which messenger bird delivered this letter? Let it deliver the letter we wrote to the clan chief.”
