Seven days passed.
William departed for the west. Nobody accompanied him.
A week ago, Odom had revealed his true identity to him. But William did not punish him. Instead, he promised Odom his help in reinstating the Lonely Mountain Empire when the opportunity arose.
However, the City of Dawn did not yet have the power to help Odom.
But hearing the Lord say such heartwarming words, Odom was filled with gratitude. He beat his own chest and howled. He wanted to repay the Lord with his undying loyalty.
The relationship between William and Odom became stronger. This sudden change shocked people as they came out of the forest.
It was late summer, and the temperature inside the Blackleaf forest was normal. Even during wintertime, it also remained within the expected range.
The Blackleaf forest had a rainforest feel.
But was it a rainforest?
No, it was not.
