"Yes, sir." Noah quickly took out a piece of parchment from a worn little bag at his waist.
"Here, sir, this is a map that shows the territorial divisions of all forces in Tai'an Forest." Noah handed the parchment to Ryan with both hands.
Ryan took it and looked at it, then took out a piece of parchment from his magic ring.
The parchment in Ryan's hand was given to him by Ford. It was a rough map of the foggy land.
Comparing the two parchments, Ryan had a rough idea of where he was in the foggy land.
The southern edge of the Misty Continent.
At this moment, Melia and Alvis ran into Noah's stone house, holding a ceramic bowl.
"Dad, it's time for lunch!"
Seeing Ryan was also in her father's stone house, Melia's eyes lit up.
"Sir, you are here too. Have you had lunch? Do you want me to prepare one for you as well?"
Ryan looked at the food in the ceramic bowl in Melia's hand.
It was a pitch-black steamed bun. I don’t know what kind of wild vegetables were added when kneading the dough, but you could vaguely see the vegetable leaves on the black bun.
"Meliya, how can you let adults eat these bran? I will kill the chickens in the tribe and make some soup for adults." Noah scolded his daughter.
"Oh~" Melia replied weakly.
Ryan pointed at the black bun and said with a smile, "No need. Can I try it first?"
Noah looked embarrassed when he heard this.
"Sir, this black bran steamed bun doesn't taste very good. I'm afraid it will spoil your appetite."
"It's okay, try it." Ryan said with a smile.
Melia glanced at her father and seeing that he had no objection, she broke off a small piece of black steamed bun from the bowl and handed it to Ryan.
"To the Lord."
Ryan picked up the steamed bun, put it in his mouth and started chewing, then frowned immediately.
It's astringent and hard to swallow...with a very slight bitter taste and just a hint of wheat fragrance.
If it weren't for the slight fragrance of wheat, Ryan wouldn't even think it was a steamed bun.
Ryan swallowed hard and asked.
"Is this what the Bluebird Tribe has always eaten?"
Noah nodded, "Yes, sir. Not only my Bluebird tribe, but also several other small tribes usually eat these black bran buns."
"Because most of the land in the Land of Mist is contaminated by fog, and sunlight only shines in during periods of light fog, grain is extremely scarce in the Land of Mist."
"Only black bran wheat can survive in the foggy land, so our staple food is basically these black bran buns."
Then Noah gave a bitter laugh.
"Actually, having black bran buns to eat is already considered good. If we don't prepare enough food during the light fog period, we will have no food source at all when the deep fog or foggy period arrives."
Ryan asked with a frown.
"But according to my intelligence, normal grains should be able to be grown in the Land of Mist?"
Noah thought for a moment and then answered.
"Oh, you're actually right. It is possible. In some large territories, there is some uninfected soil, and with the sunlight coming in during the light fog period, those large territories can actually grow normal crops."
"But it's also very rare, usually not enough for their lords to eat."
