Chapter 252: Grand Patrolman
The quarrel in the Sage's office gradually became less intense and ended with a loud "humph" from Nafis.
Setale hurriedly trotted nearly a hundred meters, then combed her long hair with her hands, tucked the folder under her armpit, pretended to have just come back from outside, and walked towards the sage's office with heavy steps.
When she was about to reach the door of the sage's office, the door was suddenly pulled open with force, and Nafisma strode out with a gloomy face and bumped into Setale who was walking towards her.
Seeing someone coming out, Setale instantly showed a natural look of astonishment and fear, and took a step back with his left foot as if frightened.
When her eyes met Nafis's, she quickly held the folder under her arm with one hand, bowed, and greeted him in a calm and calm tone: "Lord Nafis."
After seeing who was coming, Nafis calmed down a little, nodded as a return gesture, and then strode away.
After Nafis left, Setale raised her hand and knocked on the door of the sage's office three times.
"Come in."
Hazard's voice came from behind the door. He was obviously still angry, and there was obvious displeasure in his tone.
"Yes, Great Sage."
Setale said something to let Azar know that it was her who was coming, then she opened the door and walked in.
"Is it done?" Azar asked with a frown, holding the document in one hand.
"Yes, your order has been delivered. The acting disciplinary officer, Mr. Tajie, will be responsible for handling this matter. If there is any progress, he will report to you immediately." Setale lowered his eyes and spoke in a bland tone.
"Yeah." Hazard nodded, his eyes never leaving the documents in his hand.
Without waiting for the next order, Setale naturally sorted out the messy documents.
It was obvious that a fierce battle had just taken place here. The Great Sage and Lord Nafis not only had a verbal confrontation, but their dispute also affected the ornaments and documents on the table.
Setale bent down and picked up a piece of paper that had fallen to the ground. After reading the contents on it, she was slightly stunned.
It was the retirement application of the current Chief Clerk, with a red stamp of "approved" on it.
...
In the Huacheng city, near Harold's greenhouse, Tinari was running in the woods with an emerald green hunting bow on his back. His extraordinary speed impressed the forest ranger following behind him.
"Captain Ranger, wait for me!" the young man behind Tinari shouted as he chased after him.
Hearing this name, Tinari's long ears moved. He grabbed a vine and used external force to stop himself. Then he turned around, held his forehead, and said in a helpless tone:
"I've told you many times not to call me 'Grand Ranger'."
Less than two weeks after he arrived, he had found a cheap, clean place to live thanks to Harold's connections, and was getting along well with the nearby forest rangers.
Tinari's rich botanical knowledge, agile skills and keen judgment quickly captured the hearts of the rangers. The enthusiastic and simple rangers regarded him as their leader, and Tinari naturally received the honorific title of "Great Ranger".
However, he himself did not like this title, because it reminded him of a joke about a certain Dafeng disciplinary officer and the "Dafeng Agency", so whenever someone mentioned this title, he would always correct them.
"Sorry, sorry, you're running too fast, Tinari," the young man smiled sheepishly, "I really can't keep up, so I can only use a little trick to make you stop!"
"I know. Don't do this next time. I will leave marks where I pass. Just walk slowly."
Tinari turned around and looked into the distance to confirm his current location.
"We are not far from the dead zone. Let's go and clean it up before it expands again!"
Tinari said as he quickly ran again.
"Tinari, hey, hey! Tinari!!"
The young forest ranger chased after the fish desperately, shouting with tears in his eyes.
Has the growth rate of the dead zone increased recently? Tinari thought while running, frowning.
The forest was severely damaged, and the mushroom beasts became extremely ferocious... It was like a precursor to a disaster.
How could this happen? Is this incident related to the sudden appearance of Little Auspicious Grass King?
Tinari felt a little uneasy, but when he saw the gray and withered grass that had lost its life,
He spread his legs, used the friction of the ground to gain a firm footing, took out the hunting bow on his back, and aimed quickly and accurately at a hideous branch.
Arrows filled with grass elemental power fell on the branches with a "pop", and then a rain of arrows emitting green light came from the sky, landing on the flower-shaped branches in trajectories that would never appear normally.
Before the first rain of arrows had stopped, Tinari shot the second and third arrows. As he drew his bow again and again, a fierce rain of arrows came one after another.
Those strange-looking branches turned into scarlet dots in the clusters of green light and dissipated into the air. As these lifeless plants disappeared, the surrounding gray-black grass seemed to have a little color.
A brilliant golden light flowed on Tinari's bow and arrow. He threw the bow into his left hand, stretched his right arm that was pulling the arrow, and then walked towards the core of the Death Zone - the Death Zone Tumor.
Stretch out one hand and place your palm five centimeters away from it.
The grass elemental power representing vitality gathered from his whole body to his arms, and then was input into the tumor as high as a person. Tinari frowned slightly and increased the output strength. His body trembled slightly as the elemental power was continuously withdrawn.
This action lasted for nearly a minute. Suddenly, the tumor in front of him cracked and shattered, and like the branches, it turned into scarlet dust and dispersed in the air.
"Tinari-! Tinari-!"
It was only then that the young forest ranger who was patrolling with Tinari finally arrived. He happened to see this scene:
Tinari turned his head and the scarlet dust surrounding him gradually dissipated and dimmed, like a firefly that had exhausted its lifespan and disappeared between heaven and earth.
"You solved it all by yourself!" the young man exclaimed.
He couldn't remember how many times this week this had happened. In the past, it took a dozen or twenty rangers to deal with the dead zone, but Tinari could clear it all by himself.
"If it had been any slower, it would have spread to my friend's greenhouse."
Tinari smiled and put the emerald green hunting bow on his back. This hunting bow appeared with his God's Eye. It was a weapon containing elemental power. He could easily put it into the God's Eye.
But the forest rangers here all carry hunting bows. He doesn't want to make himself look too special. Moreover, carrying the bow on his back means that he can draw the bow whenever he wants, which is just right for dealing with the increasingly frequent dead zones.
"...This place should be a long distance away from Mr. Harold's greenhouse." The young ranger said, turning involuntarily towards the direction of the greenhouse.
Tinari shook his head: "The expansion of the dead zone is much faster than I thought."
“That’s not so fast,” the young ranger retorted, then he scratched his head and whispered to himself, “Speaking of which, aren’t the dead zones appearing more and more frequently?
Recently, even Amir, who always trains woodland dogs in the camp, has started to go out on the field..."
"Do you think so too?" Tinari said seriously.
"Although no one has said it explicitly, this is how I feel about my work..." the ranger said thoughtfully, and then he added in a relaxed tone,
"Maybe it's due to climate reasons. I feel like there are more dead zones in the autumn and winter of previous years. This year, the temperature may be lower than in previous years, so this strange change has occurred.
I hope after this period of time, things can go back to the way they were in previous years.”
"That's true." Tinari nodded with a smile.
"Come on, let's go over there and take a look! I told you, I found a lot of beautiful flowers there last time. You haven't seen them yet, right?"
The young ranger quickly put aside the issue of the dead zone and spoke to Tinari cheerfully.
"Okay, let's go over there and see if we can collect some samples."
Tinari smiled, but he was still a little worried. Although the rangers said that the dead zone was caused by ecological deterioration,
As long as we protect the rainforest environment and plant more trees, we can effectively prevent the emergence of dead zones.
But is it really just like that?
Does the appearance of the Little Lucky Grass King indicate that the state of the rain forest has almost reached a point of no return? Tinari had many thoughts, but because there were too few clues, he could not come up with an answer.
I don't know what Harold thinks about this. He has been able to travel freely between Xumi City and Huachengguo, so he should know more than me.
Tinari sighed secretly. Will the Ministry of Education take any action? I will write a letter to the teacher after I finish my patrol today.
