The meat, bones, scales, horns, teeth, and some internal organs of the Tyrannosaurus rex were quickly absorbed by the shield in Jason's hand.
"So, I got a few new shields, and the harvest is not bad. However, although the icon appears, it cannot be used. The reason is very simple: the level is not enough, and the new shield cannot be used smoothly."
For Jason, Tyrannosaurus rex is an existence far beyond his level. If there was no Garp template, it would be impossible to defeat such a foe. Its material level is naturally high, and it's normal that it cannot be equipped. Of course, in the future, as long as his level increases, it can be used directly.
"It's over; it's time to go!"
At this time, Fitoria had recovered her composure, but her attitude was still not very good, and she said coldly.
"Then let's go!"
Jason put some Tyrannosaurus rex materials into the storage shield, glanced at the thick fog around him, and looked at Raphtalia and the others. He then got up and brought everyone into the luxurious carriage.
Not as imagined, Fitoria did not pull the carriage and run.
"teleport!"
When Fitoria grasped the carriage with both hands, she only let out a soft cry. In the next instant, the surrounding scenery began to flash rapidly, making everyone feel dizzy.
"What happened?"
"This...is amazing!"
"Is it the legendary space transfer?"
Jack and the others sitting in the carriage exclaimed. After all, the magic of space transfer is rare, and not everyone can use or see it. Obviously, apart from that huge body, Fitoria is also extremely powerful.
"Don't act like country bumpkins who have never seen the world, okay? We are followers of the Shield Hero, and if we make a fuss, even Lord Shield Hero will be laughed at."
On the other hand, Irene remained calm, as if nothing in the world could surprise her.
"Irene, don't be so tense when you have nothing to do, and relax occasionally. The magic of this kind of space is indeed a bit powerful."
Until Jason's right hand rested on her shoulder, Irene's entire body stiffened like a startled rabbit.
"Yes, ofcourse
Irene lowered her head, trying her best to conceal the blush on her cheeks, and replied softly.
"It seems that we have reached our destination; let's go down."
Jason noticed that the scenery outside the carriage had stopped. He opened the door immediately and jumped out.
The surrounding light was dim, but it was clear they were in a forest, and there were traces of some kind of tribes around, or buildings that looked like ruins.
To be precise, they had collapsed into ruins. Houses made of stone were everywhere, but the walls were dilapidated and covered in vines, showing signs of a long history. It was evident the place had been abandoned for years.
In addition to the ruins, the surrounding area was forested, shrouded in dense fog, forming a natural barrier that both prevented people from entering and from leaving.
Jason frowned, feeling a bit uneasy, as it meant he could only rely on Fitoria to leave.
"Let's take a rest here first," Fitoria said, then raised a hand.
A Filo bird appeared out of nowhere, pulling a cart full of timber and slowly emerging from the darkness. It deftly piled the wood on the ground and then opened its mouth, spitting out flames that turned the woodpile into a bonfire, dispelling much of the surrounding cold.
To be honest, the scene made it hard to imagine that a Filo bird, which usually pulls a cart, could breathe fire. Isn't that like a real turkey?
"In that case, everyone, let's take a rest here and prepare some food by the way."
Accepting the situation, Jason didn't bother overthinking it.
"Good!"
"Fighting Tyrannosaurus rex, but I am exhausted. I can finally have a good rest."
"Thank you, Fitoria. Thank you, Lord Shield Hero."
Everyone gathered around the bonfire and sighed in relief, taking a break. Jason handed them kitchen utensils and food, and they began cooking.
"Come with me, I have something I want to talk to you about alone."
Fitoria glanced at Filo, who was drooling over the pot, then turned her attention to Jason.
"Okay, everyone stay here well. Don't go anywhere until I give the order. Fitoria and I will be back soon."
Jason instructed the group, stood up, patted the dirt off his pants, and followed Fitoria into the distance. Gradually, the figures of Raphtalia and the others completely disappeared from view.
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
Jason didn't wait any longer and asked directly.
"The first question: I want to know, how did the sealed Tyrannosaurus rex regain freedom?"
Fitoria walked along the path of the ruins and asked softly without looking back.
"It sounds like you have a lot of questions. It's really troublesome, but anyway, I'm free, so I can chat with you casually. The Tyrannosaurus rex was released by a nobleman."
Jason shrugged. He wasn't about to tell Fitoria that part of the reason for the Tyrannosaurus rex's release was connected to him.
Anyway, this is also how it happened in the original story; otherwise, it might cause unnecessary trouble. Who knows what this Filo bird queen, who has lived for an unknown number of years, is capable of?
"Really? Originally, I came here because my subordinates reported finding a new queen candidate. I didn't expect to encounter a Tyrannosaurus rex. Then the second question: based on your level and your subordinates' strength, it should be impossible to defeat a Tyrannosaurus rex. How did you do it?"
Fitoria asked again.
"No comment."
"Well, since you don't want to say it, I won't force you."
Unexpectedly, Fitoria didn't press the matter. However, at that moment, she stopped, turned her head, and stared at Jason with eyes full of authority.
"Then the last question: I heard that your relationship with the other three heroes is not good. After all, my subordinates are spread all over the world, and I know some information. I hope you can answer me truthfully."
"What does it matter if the relationship is good or bad?" Jason squinted his eyes and looked directly at Fitoria.
"Fitoria's mission is to fulfill the wishes of my adoptive parents and protect the world. Everything else has nothing to do with me. But my strength alone is not enough, so I can only rely on the legendary Four Saints."
"In other words, only the four heroes can work together to save the world. But now, you and the other three heroes are still fighting and squabbling over trivial things—it's really foolish!"
Although Fitoria's tone was cold, her eyes were filled with anger and a hint of killing intent.
