Watching Sally and her companion's figures gradually disappear, Colin retracted his gaze but didn't rush towards the so-called Red Earth Forest they mentioned.
Instead, he walked around the area and asked a few local wizards for information about the ancient trees.
"An ancient tree... The forest where one can find ancient trees lately should be the Red Soil Forest to the west."
"It seems due to the unique soil composition, the trees that grow there aren't suitable for materials and don't serve much purpose. They are unclaimed trees that have been left to grow on their own for many years."
"So if you're looking for big trees, there should be plenty there," the last passerby wizard detailed in his reply.
'It aligns with what Sally and her companion said.'
Colin nodded inwardly and, after thanking the passerby wizard, set off along the street toward the Red Soil Forest.
Gubier Island had towns of various sizes.
