Chapter 21: Melodious laughter echoes
"Hey, why are you wasting food like this?!" sat a woman with a high maroon ponytail on one side of the table, wearing a beige turtleneck shirt, a dark red velvet waistcoat and a neat leather jacket, the color of the trousers looked like a complete set of waistcoats, and black leather was worn over her knees for protection—a common attire for adventurers.

At this time, she took off her gloves, held a wooden spoon, and said meaningfully to the person opposite while eating the food cooked with plants in the wooden bowl in front of her.
"You're using strong words. The man sitting across from her was dressed in a similar attire, and his movements were less pleasing to the eye than those of the frizzy woman.
The male adventurer's eyes were covered with strips of white linen cloth, revealing the fact that he couldn't see clearly—a blind adventurer, sounding very funny.
"Hmph, look, you fell out of the bowl with these foods!" the woman refused, but she reached out for the spoon and landed the food on the edge of his bowl.
"You crazy woman!" said the male adventurer, with an ugly expression on his face.
Fitney, who sat on either side of them, looked at the two men, and since she didn't have to argue, she had finished her share, and watched their quarrel with interest.
These two self-proclaimed adventurers are the latest faces they have seen in the past half a month.
===========================
Fettnay was still standing in the courtyard and feeling that it was getting darker and faster, and then keenly caught the arrival of two guests, both of whom were riding horses with their bags, slowly walking towards the cabin.
"There's a hunter's hut in the woods. Fitnay heard the man first, and he pointed to the cabin toward his companion.
"That's wonderful," said the woman, who seemed a little out of character, "and I'd love to try different game and salads, and even better if there was ale!"
The man couldn't help but remind her: "It's still a bit far from town, and you're thinking too much, and it's good for the hunters to separate some fruits and vegetables." ”
"I don't care, I'm going to vomit if I eat dry food again!" the woman said.
Listening to their conversation, Fitnair just crouched down and picked edible plants—inadvertently picking quite a few.
"Hey, there's a little girl here. The two soon came to the hut, and the woman dismounted, and soon spotted Fitney, and went up to her, and said, "Is there a family living here—Hello, may you talk to your parents, we are adventurers, and wish to spend the night." ”
In any case, Fitney looked like a child of only eleven or twelve years old, and it was unimaginable for a child to live alone in the forest.
"They have gone out hunting," said Fitney, "but stay with you." ”
"That's great, my name is Helis and he's Hubert. "Don't worry, we're all quiet and won't disturb your rest at night." ”
Fitney nodded politely, and then realized how untrustworthy Helis's words were—whatever she encountered, she would have to discuss it with her companions, and in the course of the discussion they would argue, for a few minutes, and if it was long, Phytenay felt that they could discuss it for a night.
It's really not about quiet.
At the dinner table, when their quarrel over who was wasting food began, Fitney had become accustomed to their peculiarities - fortunately she didn't really like to be quiet, otherwise the two would have been noisy and rude by the standard of living at the time.
"Didn't your parents come back?" Finally, when their quarrel had a rough conclusion, Fitney had already packed up his things and was ready to go back to his room, and Helis noticed her, and asked.
Herris was a seemingly reckless but warm-hearted man, and Hubert was reticent by comparison, appearing to be quick-witted only when speaking to Herris - the rest of the time he didn't even say a word to Fitney.
"They'll stay in the forest for a long time, so there's no need to worry. "If you have anything to do with them, you can tell me—after all, they sometimes spend half a month in the forest, and it's not good that you have any urgent things to do." ”
"I see, what a poor, sweet boy - in fact, we wanted to ask them for help finding something. Helis gave a sympathetic look to Fitney.
Fitney smiled and listened carefully to her words.
"We wanted to find a stone platform, probably square, it should be in an open space, it just had to take us to that place. Hillis gestured something to Fitney, and Fatney listened, and his heart grew heavy.
The place she was talking about was the stone platform where Wicker had died.
"What are you going to do there? It's not a good place. Fitney listened and said.
It wasn't a good place, except for the shadow left on her by Wicker's death, and the stone platform that had apparently served as an altar had secrets she didn't know.
She wanted to know something from the mouths of these adventurers.
"It's beautiful there, so wanted to check it out. Helis said.
Fitnair looked at Helis's sincere expression, but felt amused in his heart, this reason seemed very clumsy even if it was used against a twelve-year-old girl.
"If you don't want to go, forget it. Without waiting for Fitney to speak, Hubert took the lead and said, "If it were so easy to find, there would be no point in what we have to do these months." ”
"You've got a bad temper!" said to Hubert, who protested to Hubert with her cheeks, but finally agreed with her companion, and the two quickly finished the food on the table, then said goodbye to Fitney, and went out—apparently they were busy in the forest at night.
For Hubert's estrangement, Fitney took it for granted, but thought that Helice's enthusiasm made her unbearable - she really didn't want to get close to the stone platform again, and Hairy's enthusiasm was not reciprocated, which would only make Fitney feel uncomfortable.
Fitney didn't want to say anything more to them, lest they change their minds and let her lead the way—when he turned back to his room, Darwin was still at his desk, and because of this afternoon's proposal, Darwin had already begun to put together the materials for taking care of the plants, and thinking about this, Fertenay couldn't help but turn his head—the cabinet made of rough wood was full of plants, and they were growing very well under the care.
"Looks like a guest is here today. Darwin said when he saw Fitney after a while.
Fitney nodded, watched him get back to work, and didn't bother him.
She also had to think about the two guests.
Two people who claim to be adventurers are looking for a stone platform in the Aesop Forest - but this is only the surface, in fact, the identities of these two men are not as simple as they think.
Fitney, who opened the Eye of Penetration, clearly saw that these two people were magicians.
Fitney felt that after coming to Aesop Forest, the number of magicians gradually increased—on the contrary, in the life circle of the nobility, the profession of magician was never specifically mentioned.
It was not an easy task for the two magicians to find the stone platform. You must know that the people who were looking for Wicker before were also a group of magicians - it can be seen that the secret on the stone platform will have a close relationship with the magicians, but what is the relationship?
Thinking about it, Fitney was already lying on the bed, and after thinking about it, he closed his eyes, probably thinking that these things could be thought about tomorrow.
At this time, someone was wandering in the forest outside the wooden house.
"Hey, I'm so sleepy, Hubert, can't we go back?" Halith yawned as she looked at Hubert, who was crouching on the ground with magic symbols drawn, bored.
"There's an enchantment here that can resist the perception of magicians and beasts," Hubert said solemnly, ignoring Helis's lethargy - as a magician, his perception could help him make up for the loss of vision, "It seems to be the work of the great magicians, this is not an ordinary forest hunter's cabin." ”
"Forest hunters live in the forest all year round, so it's not a big deal that they can use some magic to protect themselves, maybe they just have a great magician friend to help them make this enchantment?"
"That little girl is obviously living alone, and if you can't see these traces, you won't want to graduate this year. Hubert said unceremoniously.
Helis couldn't help but feel that she had been poked in the sore spot: "You are really too much, why are you talking to me about this!"
"It's true – this little girl is also full of questions. Hubert said.
"So what? She's not what we're going out for, if she's really some kind of hidden awesome, we'll have more trouble beating her! Haylith said.
Helis's words didn't make Hubert find anything to refute, and he took a branch and poked at the place where he had drawn the magic symbol, and then crossed it out.
"Hehe, that's right, don't always have such a big prejudice against people, just wake up tomorrow and continue to hurry. Helis said with a smile, and when she saw Hubert stand up, she couldn't help but take his hand and run towards the cabin, startling Hubert.
"What are you doing?" Hubert couldn't help but say, but Helis replied with a laugh like a silver bell, and did not reply precisely.
