Caroline explained very tactfully that the first time she saw Zhang Feng looking a little embarrassed, Caroline found it very interesting and she really wanted to hold Zhang Feng in her arms like an old hen.

"It's okay, I can't fall!"

Zhang Feng was uncompromising. What was it like for a grown man to sit in a woman's arms? As a man, he still had to have the dignity he deserved! "Well... okay."

Although her plan did not come true, Caroline did not deliberately lose face to Zhang Feng. She just grabbed the saddle, flipped it lightly, and came in front of Zhang Feng.

Zhang Feng was mentally prepared for Caroline's juggling tricks.

However, the horse was still a little frightened. It raised its front hooves slightly and neighed. Zhang Feng was startled and subconsciously hugged Caroline's slender waist in front of him.

"Ah~ Lord Zhang Feng, there are so many people..."

"Master Zhang Feng, I will help you!"

Caroline twisted her body a little uncomfortably.

Malo pointed to an area with fewer trees in the distance. Zhang Feng looked carefully and saw a bare rocky forest. He couldn't see anything.

"No, you may not be able to recognize it."

The reason why the previous city lord hired people to dig stones himself was for no other reason than one word: poverty.

Marlowe suddenly reached out.

Zhang Feng, who was observing the scenery around, felt a little nervous and subconsciously tightened his hand on Caroline's waist.

The pit is filled with stones of various sizes, most of which are black or gray, which is why it is named Blackrock Forest.

Zhang Feng hugged Caroline's waist tightly without letting go. This gave him a sense of security. He said to Knight Marlowe next to him:

Caroline bit her lip. Seeing that she couldn't persuade Zhang Feng, she secretly made up her mind that if she really encountered any danger, she would definitely protect Zhang Feng from getting hurt.

Caroline suddenly spoke first: "Let me do it!"

“Huh~”

Zhang Feng took a deep breath to relieve his nervous mood.

Caroline also looked serious and silently placed her hand on the hilt of the sword.

After hearing this, everyone became very alert. Although a single wolf is not scary, wolves often travel in packs, and they must ensure that the city lord will not get hurt.

To Zhang Feng, the Black Stone Forest was just an ordinary forest. Except for the unfamiliar trees, the rest was not much different from the forests he had seen on Blue Star.

The group walked around the pit and found a set of stone steps.

Because the horse was too tall and there were stones on the ground, Caroline was afraid that Zhang Feng might get hurt or sprain his ankle.

Marlowe dismounted, then squatted down and grabbed at a certain place. A tuft of gray-white hair appeared in Marlowe's hand.

Ta-da-da~ The horse's hooves stepped on the gravel, making light sounds.

Caroline pulled the reins, and the horse snorted and stood firmly on the ground.

——————————

"Lord Zhang Feng, how about Marlowe and I go in and find the black stone you mentioned, and you wait outside?" Caroline turned her head and asked in a low voice.

"Let's go."

"It seems that, except for the one time used by us in Red Leaf City, no one has used the stones here."

Generally speaking, if a city needs stones, they will buy them from stone merchants and rarely do it themselves.

"This is wolf hair, freshly shed."

Zhang Feng's face turned a little red. He was a grown man after all, but as soon as he came out, he was taken care of by Caroline everywhere, which made him feel embarrassed.

"Lord City Lord, this is it."

"good."

Not until this time did Zhang Feng breathe a sigh of relief. Apart from the pile of wolf hair, the journey was very peaceful. It was obvious that the outskirts of the Black Stone Forest were not that dangerous.

Although the number of soldiers was not large - at least in Zhang Feng's opinion, twenty people were too few - but looking at their fully armed and heroic appearance, Zhang Feng still felt a different feeling.

…

With a bang, the stone broke.

He made up his mind that after this incident, he must learn how to ride a horse!

Zhang Feng knew that Caroline wanted to help him, so he didn't refuse and agreed with a smile.

It’s hard to describe this feeling. If I have to, it’s just one word - awesome!

The last section of the journey was still safe and there were no unexpected situations.

Suddenly, Caroline in front of him spoke faintly.

Time passed quickly. Under the leadership of Marlowe, they crossed the Senluo River and arrived at the edge of the Blackrock Forest.

"Walk."

Zhang Feng refused directly. After all, he was already here and at the door, so how could he not go in?

Zhang Feng then realized that he had used too much force in his hands due to his excitement. Although Caroline was wearing a slim-fitting armor, it still affected her a little. And the main reason was that Zhang Feng's hands were not in the right position. He quickly moved his hands down and only held Caroline's waist.

"What's wrong?"

Swish! With Caroline's help, Zhang Feng landed steadily.

Zhang Feng was admiring the scenery of the Blackrock Forest, while Knight Marlowe led his soldiers forward cautiously. Although this was only the entrance to the Blackrock Forest and generally there was no danger, the city lord was here after all, so he had to be on high alert.

Arriving at the stone mine, Zhang Feng dismounted. He wanted to jump down directly, but before he could move, Caroline jumped down first and stretched out her hand.

Because the stones sold by stone merchants are carefully selected for both size and appearance, and they have special people to deliver them, so you don't need to use any effort, and they can even help you build city walls. Of course, the price depends on the service.

Hearing Caroline's shy words, Zhang Feng explained awkwardly: "Sorry, I thought I was going to fall!"

"stop!"

The team's progress slowed down, but after walking for an hour, when they were approaching the stone pit, they still did not encounter any wild animals.

Zhang Feng subconsciously held her hand.

Knight Marlow nodded to Zhang Feng first, then shouted to the twenty or so soldiers: "Form a formation, and march!"

"If I remember correctly, the stone mine in front is the one from before."

This big pit is about the size of a basketball court and not deep. Zhang Feng estimated that it was only about one meter deep.

"yes!"

"Uh, ahem, okay!"

"Master Zhang Feng, give it to me!"

"Smash it."

Caroline picked up the black stone the size of a steamed bun, held it in one hand, and before Zhang Feng could react, Caroline gently squeezed it.

The smile on Zhang Feng's face was a little stiff. A gust of cold wind blew by, and he felt a chill somewhere.

Looking at these vast expanses of desolate land and facing the cool breeze, Zhang Feng tightened his collar. He felt that he should do something next spring.

Marlowe jumped on his horse and walked in front to lead the way. Caroline followed behind with Zhang Feng, while the soldiers walked and protected Zhang Feng in the middle.

Knight Marlowe pointed at the huge pit beneath his feet.

Along the way, Zhang Feng and Caroline talked in private, mainly Caroline introduced some of the surrounding conditions to Zhang Feng. What Zhang Feng heard the most was: This is also your territory! After Zhang Feng really came out, he had an idea of ​​the size of his territory as a baron - it was very large, but very desolate.

Marlowe explained.

Although he liked small animals very much, he didn't want to see them in this Black Stone Forest. He preferred to meet the small animals unexpectedly at the dining table.

The Black Stone Forest was not as dark as Zhang Feng had imagined. The sunlight shone through the leaves onto the ground. Brightly colored flowers could be seen everywhere. Looking at the harmonious scene in front of him, the air he breathed seemed to be sweeter.

Zhang Feng went down into the pit and picked up a small black stone and prepared to hand it to Malo.

"Master Zhang Feng, could you please be a little gentler? I can't breathe..."
