Achilleacus gave Gatres ten silver coins for the spear, thanked Mina Gatris, and they departed from the place to return home. Achilles said:
"You have to understand that you have to do your best from tomorrow. Do you understand this, Mina?"
Mina said:
- "Yes sir".
After he had bought the spear for Mina, they returned home and found that Sanferus was waiting for them. Achilles said:
"I didn't think you'd come back so soon," said Sanfiros.
"Me too, but I found them quickly. It seems that fate is smiling on us this season," Mina said:
- "What are you two talking about?" Achilles replied: "The herd of deer with three horns is large at this time of the year." Mina said:
"So is this the merchandise you and Uncle Gateris were talking about?"
Achilles said:
- "Yes, exactly. The antlers of these deer are very expensive, and they are used in many fields. We agreed to deliver about 100 antlers to Gatris at the end of this week, and you, Mina, will help Sanviros hunt from tomorrow."
Mina replied:
"How is this possible when I don't know anything and haven't even learned how to use a spear?"
Achilles replied:
"Experience is the best teacher, and Sanferus will also teach you the basics of using it. Don't worry about this. Now what is important is that you relax well today because tomorrow will be a busy day for you."
Mina looked at Alexis with a look of surprise and fear, but he had no choice but to agree so as not to be expelled from their home.
Mina entered the house with them and looked at Sanferus, who seemed completely calm and fearless, as if he had been working at this for many years. Sanferus spoke to Mina and said:
- "do not worry you'll be fine".
Mina said:
"Who do you mean is worried? I'm not worried, I'm excited."
Sanferos said:
"Really? Then why are your hands shaking?"
Mina said:
"Yes, I'm worried. Can you blame me?"
Sanferos said:
"No, but as I said, do not be afraid, I will protect you. Also, we are going to hunt deer, and they are herbivorous animals, not carnivores. Just follow what I tell you and you will be safe. Come now, so you can eat and go to sleep."
"Yes, sir," Mina said. Then he left Mina, his anxiety greatly reduced by what he heard from Sanferus, but Mina did not know what his fate held in store for him.
After they had eaten, Mina went to a place that Achilles had prepared for him to sleep. Yes, it was not a five-star room, but it was good, and also he could not object to the room.
Mina tried to sleep, but he couldn't and there were many thoughts running through his mind about the book, the truth about the Grand Wizard, the worlds, and many more, but he was also thinking about tomorrow.
Two hours passed like this until he was able to sleep, and the night passed quickly, and the next morning Mina woke up to the voice of Achilles to get ready, and Mina went with Achilles and had breakfast and carried his weapon, and when he left the house he found that Sanvirus was waiting for him, and Mina left with Sanvirus, and they entered the forest. Sanfiros said to Mina:
"Come on, hurry up and don't be lazy, okay?"
Mina said:
"Yes, sir, but where are we going now?"
"North," said Sanferus, and then they both began to run with all their might, but this was not enough for Mina; Because of his weak build, he was unable to keep up with Sanvirus, and Mina was also amazed by Sanfirus's speed, but he did not think much about this matter, all that mattered now was to run as hard as he could so as not to lose track of him.
After a full hour of continuous running, Mina became very tired. He was covered in sweat and his speed began to slow down little by little. Sanferus noticed this and stopped as well, and said to Mina:
"We will rest here for a while and then we will continue on our way."
Mina was pleased that he had truly reached the end of his stamina, and Sanferus told Mina to rest and he would search the place; To see if there were any predatory animals near here, and after Sanferus was gone, Mina began preparing the place for them to rest.
After a few minutes had passed, Sanfiros returned and Mina found that he had prepared the place for rest. They sat down, and after a few minutes had passed without speaking, Mina spoke and said:
"When Mr. Achilleas and I went to Uncle Gateris, he said that he always took care of war orphans, and I wondered if you..."
Sanferus interrupted him and said:
- "Yes, I am an orphan. Is there something to this?"
Mina replied: "No, of course not, but I was just wondering how much you suffered because of this before you met Mr. Achilles?"
Sanferus smiled and said:
"Would it help you if I knew?"
Mina replied hesitantly:
"No, of course not. I'm sorry if I bothered you with my question."
Sanferos said:
- "It's okay. You didn't do anything wrong to apologize for. Rather, you just asked a question that was on your mind. Well, don't worry, let's stop talking. Well, we've had a rest, right? So come on, stand up. We must reach our destination today."
Mina said:
"But when will we arrive?"
Sanvirus replied:
"Don't worry, there's not much left. Come on now, stand up."
Mina immediately stood up and they started running again. Another hour passed and finally they reached their destination, which was a huge valley covered in green grass. The trees were different from the trees in the forest. They were shorter, and their leaves were different too. They were pointed like sharp thorns, vulnerable. It was several kilometers long and as long as the horizon could see. It was the largest valley Mina had ever seen in his life. There was a medium-sized lake located as far as Mina could see. Its waters were clear and a water stream ran from it extending forward. Many animals of different types and shapes were gathered around it, but there was a group of One of the animals that distinguished itself from the rest, the three-horned deer were somewhat similar to ordinary deer, but they were larger, their fur was dark brown, and the three huge horns on their heads gave anyone a shiver of fear. The view of the deer and the valley was beautiful, making anyone... Someone enchants.
Sanferus saw the looks of astonishment and admiration on Mina's eyes. He smiled slightly, then turned his gaze toward the valley and said:
"Let me introduce you to the paradise of the little valley."
