Chapter 223 The Hut
"Jiayi, your craftsmanship is really good. I used to think that the academy has a lot of delicious food, but I didn't expect that your craftsmanship is not bad either."
Paserbai said while eating.
"Of course, I didn't bring any seasonings, otherwise it would be better." Jia was very proud of his side and was very helpful for the praises from others.
"Yes, yes, I thought we could only eat dry bread. Fortunately, you are Jiayi." Someone said in agreement.
However, when Jia heard this, he looked at the black bread in his hand and his face instantly collapsed.
He said weakly: "You eat it, can you stop talking? Am I really gnawing dried bread or black bread?"
After all, he cooked rice for Seusli and the others, but he didn't cook too much. He just made a fish soup with fish. There were 30 people here. If he had enough food for everyone, he would not be exhausted. Especially, he could only watch but not eat, which was simply cruel.
Machi sat beside Jiayi and said with some complaints: "Why did you promise to make fish soup for them? It smells so good that you can't even eat the black bread."
"Yeah, they eat, we can only watch." Trudy knocked on the trunk with the bread in her hand, making a banging sound, "Listen, this is what we eat."
Jiayi smiled helplessly. He didn't know why he agreed to make dinner for them when he got his brain twitched. Fortunately, his brain didn't completely break down and he only agreed to make a big pot of fish soup.
He couldn't stay here anymore, and felt that he had cheated himself. He stood up and said, "I scanned the port and found that there were many reefs everywhere at the entrance, which was a gap that was blown out by someone with magic. This means that there must have been a mage on the island. Should we look for it in the mountains?"
Macchi looked at the sky and said, "It's dark now. Why don't you go again tomorrow? It's too late."
"I don't think it's a good idea to run into the woods now, and it's always more dangerous at night." Trudy also agreed with Maggie's opinion, not thinking that Kazuic's is a good idea.
"Or we'll just go around and wait until they finish eating before we come back," Jade suggested.
He and Jiayi were not on the same boat, but they were on the No. 15 boat, and Jiayi and the others were in the same group, so after they got ashore, they got together again, and there were five of them, the only people on the two ships from the Re-Traditional Period.
"It's okay to go and take a look." Jia nodded, "As long as it's not standing here, I'm afraid I can't help but hit someone if I continue like this."
"Who can you blame this..." Machi's voice came faintly.
After talking to Xiusli and the others, they set off immediately, because they were nearby, Xiusli and the others did not stop them. They walked along the shore. Although some trees were just sprouting and there was not much green, there were few people here and the trees were lush. It was just a turn that everyone who was cooking on the shore could not see it, but there was still the rest coming.
"Hey, you guys, why do some people open up the reefs outside this bay so that the boat can come in?" Macchi asked suddenly.
"Is this a question?" Trudy looked at Maggie in surprise and said naturally, "Of course I've arrived to park the boat in."
Macchi gave Trudy a mentally retarded look and said, "Will you deliberately clear the port just to stop for a moment? It's not much better to park outside."
"That's not a temporary stop. It takes a long time to stop, so I cleared the reef at the entrance to stop the boat." Trudy said loudly, and Maggie's eyes stimulated him.
"Okay OK, don't be excited." Jia quickly appeased Trudy, "Machy means that since he spent his energy to clear the reef at the entrance, it was definitely not for a temporary stop, so would this mage leave something on the island."
"It may not be possible to leave anything behind. Maybe they are still alive." Mado said quietly. Cooperating with the gradually darkening sky, it was simply a terrifying atmosphere.
A gust of wind blew over, and Jiayi fought a cold war: "No, this gap seems to be a long time. Can we still encounter a legendary wizard?"
As the few people talked, they walked through the woods and suddenly became wide open in front of them. There was a river beach near the water, which was flat and wide, and it was so large. Behind the river beach was a cliff, and under the cliff was a lonely wooden house.
"It's really someone." Jiayi stopped and looked at the cabin with some vigilance. In Jia's eyes, this cabin in the wilderness was simply the best set of a horror movie.
The front of the wooden house was covered with weeds and vines were covered with onions, which didn't look like someone was living there.
"Is anyone?" Jia roared, although he didn't think anyone would live in it.
As a sequelae of watching too many movies and TV, if someone really came out, Kaichi's first reaction would definitely be to give him a spell.
There are really zombies and ghosts in this world.
No one answered, except for the wind.
"It seems that no one is there, let's go and take a look." Trudy said, then stepped forward.
"Be careful, if it is really the mage's residence, there may be some traps." Jiayi followed up and released a lighting technique.
At this time, the sky started to get dark, but it was not completely dark. They didn't feel that when they were walking, they felt that the light was not enough now.
As Jiayi walked, he focused the light on the house in front and the open space. The ground was covered with weeds, but they were not tall, but there was no collapse when walking, and it was very solid. Jiayi chopped and felt that it was different from the ground in the wild. It should have been artificially compacted.
From this point of view, the owner of this house is still very attentive and will not live for a short time, otherwise he would not have spent so much effort. There is a large stump in front of the door of the cottage, which is as thick as a pair of people hugging each other, but now the stump has sprouted again, and a small tree as thick as an arm has grown from the edge.
The wooden house was not directly on the ground, but was lifted up and hung up in the air and supported by pillars. Trudy walked in front of the steps in front of the door and made a "squeaking" sound, as if it was about to crack.
Chester jumped, quickly retracted his feet, slowed down for a while, and then gently put them on, making a squeaking sound.
"It seems that it has been abandoned for a long time." Mado said softly beside Jiayi, "The wood looks a little rotten."
"Yes, it's at least decades. Wait!" Jia saw Trudy and was about to push the door, and quickly called him, "Open the shield first, it's safe."
After he finished speaking, he opened the shield himself. He changed the lighting technique from a flashlight to a light bulb, walked to the door, and looked at the part of the door lock: "No lock."
Jia glanced at the rest of the people and said it was not locked, which means that it was either an abandoned wooden house or an accident from the owner, otherwise he would not have gone out without locking it.
Jiayi asked everyone's shop to retreat, and then pushed open the door with the touch of the mage. With a creaking sound, a large handful of very colored ashes fell on the door.
Nothing happened. When everyone walked inside, everything seemed normal inside. There was only one bed, a table, and there was no place to cook. There was also bedding on the bed, which was quite messy. After the owner got up, he must have not folded the quilt. Behind the table was a window, which had been blown away by the wind. There were only a few pieces of parchment paper on the table, but it was covered with mold, and it was crippled with many holes, which were broken and could not be seen.
Jiayi carefully picked up a piece of parchment from the ground with the touch of the mage, and nothing was visible on it. It seemed that the parchment paper that was supposed to be on the table was blown away by the wind.
Nothing was seen in the room, and there were no traces of spells left. It seemed that it was just a residence for ordinary people, but I didn't know where the master went and was abandoned for a long time.
"This may be the temporary place for some fisherman to live." Maggie said in a low voice.
Trudy shook her head: "No, the fisherman is reluctant to live in such a good house, and there are so many parchment papers."
Parchment is quite expensive, and ordinary people are reluctant to even use it, let alone throw it away. Moreover, if it is a fisherman, the most likely one should be to build the house in the port, but it won’t be built here, which is too inconvenient.
They found nothing valuable. At this time, Xiusley sent a message through the badge, asking where they were, and asking them to go back. Now the sky was completely dark without realizing it, and they could only wait until dawn tomorrow before coming to see it.
