100. Trip

"All right," he said. He gave me a brown envelope. "If you see him, give him this! A guest handed it to me. I know you'll find out soon enough, Azalea told me when you realized all her plans I should give you permission to catch up with her," she glanced at Zie.

"I'll go with him, " said Zie who was behind me.  Azam took the sword he always carried and gave it to Zie.

"Consider this a gift of introduction from me, I'm sorry we didn't welcome you because I don't think you came when we had the conditions to do so," he said.

After saying goodbye, we went out. Azam forbade us to take the carriage. In exchange, he gave a messenger owl. Actually, he was also going to bring us a bloodhound, but seeing Mickey's not-so-happy expression, he untied it. We walked through the forest following the map Azam gave us. Mickey was carried in a basket, and he was always babbling along the way like a broken radio.
