Here is the ruins of a large village. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。

infoAlthough the houses are all made of stone, after hundreds of years, they have become ruined and broken.

The ruins are overgrown with weeds and shrubs.

It turns out that the few large roads and small roads left by the inhabitants of the island are no longer available, and they can only walk between the ruins of stone houses.

All the stones in this ruin are covered with a layer of grayish-white stuff that looks a lot like gray-white clay.

Wild horse. When he first saw this clay-like thing, he was very strange, and he stretched out a finger and wiped it a little to put it in his mouth.

The five sailors next to him saw it and laughed out loud.

The lack of moon moves quickly and twists his face to see the mustang. Strong root's action, a slap to the mustang. Qianggen's wrist and knocked his hand down.

Then he scolded loudly: "Qianggen, what are you doing, you put all kinds of messy things in your mouth, and you are not afraid that this thing will poison you to death." ”

"What's poisonous, isn't it just some gray-white clay, when I was in my hometown, I learned from the elders of the tribe to understand the local situation by tasting the clay of a strange place, and I am sure of it."

Qianggen was still very unconvinced, and muttered quietly after the lack of moon.

"How do you know it's not poisonous, what if it is? Aren't you bringing yourself on for bad luck? ”

Missing Moon heard Qianggen's small muttering.

Qianggen was still a little afraid of the lack of a moon, and his muttering voice was even quieter: "Isn't that not put in your mouth yet, just train me." ”

Missing the moon ignored him and walked forward on his own.

Seeing them like this, Rick stopped Missing Moon and called the others as well.

Pretending to cast a 'natural identification technique' on the gray-white thing, and then said: "This is a good thing, but you can't eat it, fortunately, Lack Moon slapped Qianggen's hand aside, otherwise, hum ......"

Rick actually knew what it was as soon as he saw this thing, and it was just to take care of the face of the missing moon and strong roots, so he casually put a 'natural identification technique' to guide everyone's attention.

"What is this, Priestess Rick, we all know that you are a very learned person, tell us about it."

One of the five sailors who followed next to him also spoke, patting Rick's ass as he peeked at Qianggen's face.

Rick glanced at the other sleazed sailor next to him, who looked to be in his forties.

Ignoring the sailor who asked the question, he looked at Qianggen and said, "You really should thank Senpai Missuki senior." Did you know that the grayish, clay-like thing you almost put in your mouth is sun-dried seabird droppings, a powerful fertilizer for growing crops, and of course a necessary material for growing magical plants? ”

John's face turned green when he listened to Rick's words.

He dragged a few blades of grass from the grass next to him, and wiped and wiped his finger that had touched the droppings of seabirds.

The five sailors next to him wanted to laugh when they heard Rick say that the gray-white thing was seabird droppings, but they were afraid that Qianggen was a warrior from the barbarian clan who could go berserk, and not a figure that the five of them could match, so they had to hold back the smile.

The kind of person who wants to laugh but doesn't dare to laugh, and his face is distorted, making Qianggen look more and more hot, and he will go crazy at any time.

At this time, the taciturn first mate next to him suddenly scolded the five sailors: "What are you doing, why don't you hurry up and take out the big bag you brought, hurry up and pack a few bags of this sea bird droppings, didn't you listen to Ric Priest, this sea bird drop is an indispensable material in the fertilizer for planting magic plants, this is a few bags, and returning to the Free Federation is also a good thing that can be sold for money." ”

As soon as the five sailors heard that the seabird droppings could be sold for money, they immediately pulled out the large bags that were clumped in their pockets and filled them with seabird droppings.

Rick and Missing Moon looked at each other, and instead of stopping the five sailors from loading the sea bird droppings, or doing it themselves, they each said to Steelhorn and Qiangen, "You two go and rest for a while, just go around here, don't run far." ”

"Yes, young master (captain)."

After a while, the five sailors packed all the nearby seabird droppings into two large bags.

The first mate had two sailors in charge of carrying the two bags back to the ship.

It's not far from the dilapidated harbor of Gull's Island, and it's less than half an hour's walk.

It's just that the merchant ship Thonnennes cautiously did not dock at the port dock, but used a small boat to send Rick and the ten of them to the island.

And the boat rowed on the merchant ship in half an hour, which means that the two sailors who carried the seabird droppings would be back in a quarter of an hour at most.

Of course, Rick and Missing Moon will not be in a hurry, and they will arrange for Steelhorn and Qiangne to explore the surroundings early.

Three quarters of an hour later, Rick and the Missing Moon and the other ten people converged on a second occasion.

The first mate asked the two sailors who were carrying guano back to the merchant ship: "How is it on board?" Did the captain and Fury Steward say anything? ”

The two sailors looked at Rick with respectful eyes, and when they saw that he did not react, they answered the first mate's question: "Mr. first mate, there is nothing on the ship, and Captain Danrith didn't say anything." But Fury's steward first heard that it was seabird droppings and wanted to scold us. Later, we both said that it was identified by Priest Rick, who said that it was an essential material for growing magical plants, so Steward Fury didn't discipline us. Then we hurried over. ”

"Well, you're doing a good job, and I'll report back to Captain Danrith on your performance when we get back on board. I think he'll give you the right reward. ”

"Priest Rick and Captain Missing Moon, do you two think that's the case?"

"Captain Danrith? I think he'll reward you well. ”

Rick didn't say anything, and it was the moon that responded to what the first mate said.

Rick saw that the first mate had finished asking about the ship, so he asked about Steel Horn, and asked, "Have you found anything after you have circled around these few times?" ”

"Master Rick, the ruins of the villages around here are completely ruined. There was nothing of value in the ruins. I think the villagers who gave up on this village had plenty of time, and they took everything they could except for some large and bulky things. ”

"Well, Missing Moon Senior, what do you think?"

"Priest Rick, there is nothing of value left in the ruins of this village. Let's go to the top of the cliff to take a look, after all, it is the main location of the incident, and I don't know if there will be any clues left there. ”

"The old man is right, I also think we should go to the top of the cliff. It's just that the first mate and the five sailors don't have to go, just go around the island and collect more seabird droppings, I remember that the price of this material is not cheap. ”

The first mate hesitated for a moment, then turned his face to the five sailors and said, "You five should go and collect more seabird droppings, and don't go and provoke the seabirds on the island." It's best to find a place to set up a comfortable camp between the ruins and cliffs of this village. I'll go to the cliff with Priest Rick and Captain Missing Moon, and I'll be back before dark. ”

"Yes, First Mate, we'll set up camp as soon as possible. Rest assured, you will be pleased with Priestess Rick, Captain Moonless, and Mr. First Officer. ”

"Well, that's good."

Just after lunchtime, Rick and his group of five came to the top of the cliff.

The five of them scattered around the top of the cliff to see if anything out of the ordinary was found, but nothing unusual was found.

Only Rick himself felt a thick and cold aura when he touched the strange stone on the top of the cliff that resembled a woman kneeling on the ground.

Rick decided to wait until twelve o'clock in the middle of the night to investigate the stone by himself.
