Hill, who was pondering the way home, suddenly became aware and looked to his side, watching a leaf drift down slowly, spinning and changing shape, emitting a faint glow.
Hill could sense the aura of this heavenly guest, one of earth and harvest, presumably a little fairy serving Nong Jiang, the agricultural deity of the Shoulong, named Gu Ling.
This was likely directed at Hill; if it were because of the change in Benevolence City, the visitor would have been an attendant of Guanyin or Zhan Zheng, such as Min Nu or Yin Soldiers.
"Hello, Great Mage Polanio, I am Gu Zhonglin, serving the great lord of agriculture." Knowing that Hill had noticed him, the green little figure greeted in a warm and neutral voice. Gu Ling's descent sped up, and by the time he landed on a branch, he had grown to an adult size, almost as tall as Hill.
"Hello." Hill said indifferently, "Is there something you need?"
