"Who is in the forbidden forest? Do you need me to pick them up?" Bishop Sigbert asked, feeling relieved when he saw Crown Prince Conrad come to his senses.
It happened that Eleanor's ears drooped due to Russell's touch, and Bishop Sigebert could not see clearly in the dark, otherwise he would have gone to rescue Eleanor no matter what.
Now Siegbert only thought that those people might be the subordinates of Crown Prince Conrad, so out of courtesy, he asked casually.
In fact, the Forbidden Forest was very dangerous. Bishop Sigebert took a huge risk when he rushed in to rescue Crown Prince Conrad.
Bishop Sigebert simply owed Queen Adelaide a favor, and while he believed that secular affairs should be under the royal family's jurisdiction, he wasn't particularly loyal to the royal family. Even if Conrad agreed, Bishop Sigebert had no intention of returning to the Forbidden Forest.
But Crown Prince Conrad was about to nod.
Yes, Eleanor is still in there!
The thought of Eleanor made Conrad's heart ache inevitably. All he could think of was Eleanor calling her "Master" and then throwing herself into Russell's arms.
So he stopped nodding and said stiffly, "No, no need. I don't know those people well. Let them fend for themselves."
After saying that, Conrad turned around and left without looking back, but his back looked quite dejected, like the remnants of a defeated army.
What exactly is in the Forbidden Forest? How could the Crown Prince be so devastated? How many dangerous things did that bastard Grenn stuff into the Forbidden Forest?
Bishop Sigbert, the "Bull," grew increasingly wary of the Forbidden Forest. He silently took a step forward and caught up with Crown Prince Conrad.
On the other side, Russell originally wanted to catch up with Crown Prince Conrad and the bishop, but he had just taken two steps with Eleanor in his arms when he was stopped by a strange man.
The man was normal below the neck, but he had two heads above the neck. When Russell saw it for the first time - perhaps it was because of them that he remembered the two-headed ogre he had seen in World of Warcraft in his previous life.

This two-headed monster suddenly appeared and blocked Russell's way when he tried to chase it.
It held a thick and ferocious mace in its hand. It swung the mace in its hand and smashed it down fiercely at Russell. One of its heads had a fierce expression, but the other head was shouting, "Be careful of sneak attacks! Sir!"
Fortunately, Russell was alert. He stepped back suddenly and narrowly avoided the monster's fierce attack.
With a dull thud, the mace hit the ground hard, creating a deep hole.
At this moment, the head that had sounded the alarm roared, "Diane, I've told you countless times that sneak attacks are unchivalrous! Moreover, the weapon you used is not in line with the aesthetics of chivalry at all."
"Shut up! Roger! I'm not a knight! Look at how we are now, neither human nor ghost. You are no longer a knight!" The head with a ferocious face let out a sharp and shrill roar.
It seems that this head named Diane is a lady.
The head called Roger ignored the head called Diane. He said to Russell with an apologetic look on his face, "I'm sorry, sir. My wife is like this—I told you not to sneak attack!"
Roger was halfway through his words when the two-headed monster swung its mace at Russell again.
Russell swung his sword to block the mace that the two-headed monster smashed down on him. The blow was so powerful that it made Russell's arm numb.
"Roger, you damn bastard! You have to put in some effort too! His strength is too great! My arm is numb!" The head named Diane roared in dissatisfaction.
Roger looked a little timid. He muttered in dissatisfaction, "I told you not to attack by surprise."
"He's on guard now, so it's not a sneak attack! You damn loser, marrying you is really unlucky for me!" Diane roared, her voice deafening.
Russell was trying hard to block the mace. He felt his ears were buzzing from Diane's roar. It was hard to imagine what kind of torture Roger's ears were suffering all day long.
Considering that the master of this body is obviously the female head named Diane, Russell couldn't help but fall into deep thought. What exactly does marriage bring to men?
At this time, Crown Prince Conrad and the bishop had completely disappeared, and Russell could only patiently deal with the monsters in the forbidden forest.
Looking at the male head cowering timidly and the female head roaring arrogantly, coupled with the fact that the male head seemed to have no control over his body, it was the female head who was mainly directing this body to attack him.
Russell's guess was soon confirmed when the male leader called Roger muttered, "Sorry, sir, please be careful."
Next, the power of the two-headed monster became stronger and stronger, and its attacks became more and more fierce. Russell did not dare to take it head-on, and could only rely on flexible steps to dodge its attacks and wait for an opportunity to counterattack.
This seemingly bloated two-headed monster was quite flexible, but Russell still found its flaw and made a shallow cut on its arm with his sword.
The female leader named Diane let out a shrill scream like a pig being slaughtered, but Roger just frowned. Russell couldn't even tell whether Roger frowned because of the wound on his arm or because of the unbearable noise.
"Kill him quickly and avenge me, kill this bastard!" Diane shouted.
Amidst the curses, the two-headed monster's attack did become more fierce, but it still couldn't do anything to Russell.
Suddenly, the two-headed monster jumped back, as if showing its intention to stop fighting.
Russell originally wanted to take advantage of the situation to pursue, but he heard Margaret's rebuke.
Russell turned around and saw Rosalyn and Margaret being surrounded by several trees that suddenly appeared. They seemed to be struggling to hold on under the siege, especially since they were also protecting Eleanor.
Russell rushed to rescue them. He held his breath, gathered his strength, and with one blow of his sword, he completely cut a tree that was participating in the siege in half, thus freeing the ladies.
"I've already told you, this is Wolhausen's swordsmanship! We are no match for him, Diane! Let's run away now!" said the male leader named Roger seriously.
"Ahhhhhhh! Marrying you is the most unfortunate thing that has ever happened to me! I hate you! Roger! I hate you! You coward, I don't care, I have to get rid of this anger!" Diane cursed, and then she took a step forward and tried to charge towards Russell.
Then she was stopped by her other foot, and then her left foot stepped on her right foot. She lost her balance and fell to the ground with a thud.
"What are you doing, Roger!" Diane roared.
"shut up!"
"You are mean to me! How dare you be mean to me! You have changed! Roger! Do you have another woman outside?"
"Shut up, bitch! We share a body now, how could I have other women outside?" Roger was so angry that he laughed.
"Why can't you go out and fool around while I'm asleep?"
This quarrel aroused Russell's curiosity, and Russell now really wanted to know whether the body of this two-headed monster was a man or a woman.
Fortunately, the male leader Roger's next words solved Russell's doubts: "How can we go out and fool around in this androgynous body of ours?"
As soon as Roger finished speaking, he was slapped hard in the face.
"Shut up, you useless piece of shit, you wimp!" shouted the female leader Diane.
"You damn bitch deserves a beating!" The male leader finally began to try to resist.
So the two-headed monster started fighting with itself, punching me and slapping me, and soon both heads swelled up like pigs.
Its two legs were half-raised and twitching violently, looking like two heads fighting for control of the body.
The scene looked very funny, and even the originally eerie and strange-looking tree man began to exude the aura of a comedian.
"How dare you hit me? It turns out you only hit me when you're drunk!"
"Hmph, do you think I don't know what you're thinking? If I come home drunk, you're the one giving me orders, loudly telling me to do this and that! But when I come home drunk, you're afraid I'll punch you, so you just keep quiet."
"Is this why you come home drunk every day?"
"This is why I have to get drunk if I want to live peacefully when I get home!"
Russell couldn't figure out why he encountered such a weird monster in the forbidden forest. Could it be that it wanted to kill its enemies by making people laugh to death?
The author says:
Author's Note: I had a fight with my wife to write this chapter, so there's only one update today...
Ahem, the above is pure nonsense. The actual situation is that I have a dinner party in the evening, so there is only one update. Please forgive me.

The fight between the two-headed monster couple soon became intense, and they punched each other.
They screamed miserably, roared fiercely, cursed each other with resentment, and fought for the dominance of the body. They punched and hit each other hard, and each blow looked like it was going to kill the other.
They look like a couple whose relationship has broken down but they cannot divorce and can only continue to stay together reluctantly.
They hated each other and tortured each other, and meeting Russell seemed to be just an opportunity for them to vent.
The two-headed monster rolled on the muddy ground, beating its own heads mercilessly, and had completely forgotten about Russell.
"It seems that their relationship has really broken down. Why don't I do a good deed and let them officially divorce." Russell raised his eyebrows and raised his sword, wanting to kill him while he was sick.
However, a tree suddenly appeared in front of Russell.
Russell then noticed that the tree was not moving in the form of a tree man, but was moving with the ground. However, it moved very quickly and quietly, without making any friction or collision sounds.
It seems that this forbidden forest is like some kind of magic circle controlled by someone.
However, the attacks that had been launched with branches, thick treetops, and even vines wrapped around the treetops have now been restrained.
At the same time, the same unpleasant, old voice from before rang out again: "I suggest you ignore them, sir. It's normal for young couples to quarrel."
Although the tone of the voice was polite, the unpleasant, rough, tearing sound still made Russell frown.
Russell responded in a similar tone: "I suggest you don't stand in front of me, sir. I don't mind cutting you in two first."
"I've said it before, I have no hostility towards you, Your Excellency."
Although Russell tried hard to figure out where this elusive guy was hiding, the rough and harsh voice seemed to come from all directions, as if the forest was speaking.
Unable to find the real location of the guy who was pretending to be mysterious, Russell patiently started chatting with him.
"But you don't seem to be acting that way." Russell sneered, "You were just besieging these ladies. I don't see any good intentions from you."
"I was just trying to stop the fight. These impatient ladies wanted to help you, and I just didn't want to see a tragedy happen. Oh! It's really dangerous!"
The unpleasant voice was still chattering on, trying to say something, but Russell had already tentatively swung his sword and cut down the tree in front of him.
However, at this time, the two-headed monster that was fighting with itself had no idea where it had run to.
Russell didn't know whether they ran away after the fight, or were hidden by the forest in front of him.
Just then, Russell heard two almost simultaneous "Hmm?"
One was a hoarse and tearing male voice, coming from this strange forest, and the other was a clear female voice, very subtle, coming from the soul box held in Eleanor's hand, hiding behind Russell.
Eleanor was clever for once and she stuck the soul box on Russell's back.
At this time, noisy and unpleasant questions came from all directions.
"Huh? Young man, your swordsmanship is quite interesting!"
Meanwhile, Russell heard Francine whispering to him through her spirit.
"If I talk to him a little more, I'm almost finding the source of that voice! Why are there so many souls in this forbidden forest... Ah! It must be traced back to here, no, that's not right." Francine muttered, trying to locate this mysterious existence.
As Francine is an expert in the field of souls (after all, she is a soul herself now), Russell naturally believes in her professional level, so Russell decides to continue chatting with the guy hiding in the forest.
But before Russell could speak, the voice moved a tree in front of Russell with interest: "Come on, cut it with a sword!"
This was a tall, ancient tree, its crown pale and sinister in the moonlight, as if it were a shadow frozen by darkness.
The texture of the ancient tree's trunk is twisted and ancient, like ancient runes carved into the bark.
The branches of the ancient tree were strangely shaped, some resembling strange claws reaching towards the sky, others like twisted shadows, making the entire tree look like a hungry monster ready to devour its prey.
Its leaves were grotesquely shaped, like hideous faces, and between the leaves wafted a faint woody fragrance, a strange and intoxicating scent that made Russell subconsciously feel nauseous.
The ground beneath the tree was covered with thick moss, on which grew shimmering blue flowers, emitting a faint fluorescence.
This tree seems to be neither afraid of the severe winter cold nor affected by the drought, and its vitality seems to be thriving.
What's going on here?
Russell frowned unhappily.
However, Francine's angry and terrified voice came from the soul box attached to his back: "Cut! Chop it down! There are many souls imprisoned and tortured in this tree!"
Fine, I'll cut it down. At worst, I can use the most clumsy method of Yugong moving mountains and chop down this so-called forbidden forest with my sword.
Luo Su made up his mind and slashed out with a sword. The yellow sword energy whistled and cut through the ancient tree.
The moment the sword energy touched the ancient tree, it seemed to wake up from a deep sleep and let out a shrill and painful cry, as if all the sopranos in the entire theater were screaming for their lives, making Russell's scalp numb.
Francine also uttered a brisk question.
If Francine's slight exclamation had not been transmitted through her soul, Russell would probably not have known what she thought of this sword amidst the deafening noise like crying.
The branches of this ancient tree stretched out towards Russell desperately. They looked angry and wanted to kill Russell, the person who attacked it.
Then, the branches were hit by the spell cast by Rosaline, and there was a series of crackling and crisp explosions. They shrank back as if they were scalded by hot water.
At the same time, an unpleasant and hearty laugh echoed from the forest, this voice also contained undisguised pain: "Hahahahaha! Good, good! Incredible, absolutely incredible! Another strike with the sword, another strike with the sword!"
As it laughed, it manipulated the land and turned the tree around.
Still want to chop? Russell suspected that this voice wanted to use his hand to achieve some purpose, so he subconsciously hesitated.
"Come on, strike again!" Seeing that Russell didn't swing his sword again, the unpleasant voice sounded even more frantic. It urged, "I said, I have no ill will towards you! Please believe me!"
