Chapter 174: Heidi's Two Letters
The room where Heidi once lived was in a relatively remote part of the palace, and it was really out of place compared to the slightly more ornate buildings, and it was actually just a small room, which was the most common style of the orcs.
Surrounded by a quiet small garden, because no one disturbed it, it seemed very secluded, there was a flower furrow in the garden, the flowers in it were still in full bloom, it seems that the goblins are very attentive to this place, and have been taking care of it. The house looked clean, and there wasn't even a single cobweb.
Pushing open the door of the cabin, the goblin patriarch bowed and said, "Please come in, I won't disturb you yet." β
Heidi's house has been well cared for, the wooden boards are free of dust, and to the right of the door is a small bed, and the most conspicuous thing is a bookcase, which contains the books she brought from the mainland, and Xia Yi sits at the desk in front of the window, such an environment is calming.
Xia Yi looked through the things on the desk, there were all kinds of instruments, and there were many notes on the tree.
"Mondo." Xia Yi shouted softly.
Mondo was in a daze, turned his head to secretly wipe the corners of his eyes, and said, "Yi, I feel amazing right now, as if I'm with Heidi. β
Neither of them spoke again, and they remained in the hut until it was dark, quietly watching the moon and the stars rise, and the weather was fine today, and the sound of insects was heard from the garden.
Shay didn't comfort Mondo, what he needed was not comfort, but to enjoy the time.
"Alright, let's go see what's going on with the goblin crops, and solve this problem, we still need to get a boat to go to the Kraken Tribe, and the trip can't be delayed any longer."
Mondo originally wanted to take something that belonged to Heidi as a souvenir, but after thinking about it, he didn't want to destroy the traces of Heidi's life and later Goblin Island. He could still see the cabin, and his mother was the person he respected the most, she was a great adventurer, and she did incredible things without great force.
"Wait, Mondo. Let's see if there are any notes that would be useful to us. β
Xia Yi took out a stack of books from the bookcase, and looked at it with Mondo, the scope was too wide, each book was recorded by Heidi in dense small print, looking at her handwriting, it was absolutely impossible to imagine that she was an adventurous person. After searching for a long time and not finding anything helpful, Xia Yi had to put the book back in its place.
"If it weren't for the strength of the soul. I'm going to get dizzy when I read so many books. β
Xia Yi stretched his waist, and his right hand touched the painting hanging on the wall, which was a rough watercolor painting, which had turned yellow, and he could barely see a man and a woman, the man was burly and heroic, but the two cat ears removed the majestic atmosphere, and the woman was more petite. Wearing a blue dress.
"These are your parents." Xia Yi stared at it for a moment and said. "Heidi is also a Tiger Clan, why don't you have ears like you?"
Mondo shook his head and said, "I don't know, and she has black hair, so she looks so different." Maybe that's why she was ostracized by the Tiger people to marry my father. β
"Hmm......"
Because they are different, they are considered outliers. It's commonplace.
Shay walked over to the wall and slowly took the painting down.
"What's wrong? Do you want to take this painting back with you? To be honest, it sucks. Mondo stroked the canvas, it was rough.
"No, Mondo. Don't you see that it's different from the usual canvas? Xia Yi said seriously.
Mondo took a closer look and said, "It's rougher than the usual canvas...... No, it's no ordinary canvas, it's parchment. β
"Yes, it's made exactly the same as the scroll Heidi gave you."
Xia Yi spread the painting on the desk, and at this time, the moonlight poured in through the window, and the hazy moonlight made the painting appear faint blue handwriting.
"It was written by Heidi, how do you know that there are words on it?" Mondo exclaimed.
"Just guessing, because it's obviously split in two with your scroll, and there's a cut mark on the side, and since she's made a scroll out of half of it, the other half must have been used for the same purpose, and it was written in moon script shortly before and after."
Shay and Mondo put their heads together and began to read the text above, which was two paragraphs in total.
"Dear traveler, I don't know who you are, I don't know where you got this painting, and I don't know what race you are, whether you're an orc or an elf or a human dwarf, it doesn't matter. If you can discover the Moon Script, it proves that you are very knowledgeable and lucky.
I don't know if you've heard my name, my name is Heidi, an orc woman. Speaking of me, it's simple, I've spent all my young time traveling, and the Great Barrier Reef is probably my first adventure since I was in the dark, but unfortunately I can't go east to see if there's another continent like ours in the East.
The reason why I say this is because when I was researching the history of goblins, I found that at the end of the civilization now called 'subhumans', the goblins were ostracized by the orc humans and retreated to the most desolate and barren part of the continent, which is now the Danube Wilderness.
Goblins had the best shipbuilding skills, but there were too many subhumans at the time for goblins to withstand such a migration, and the Tidelanders could not cross the sea, so they could not leave land for long periods of time. Some scholars say that the goblin abandoned his close relatives and went to sea alone, so he settled on what is now the Great Barrier Reef.
But I don't agree, put yourself in their shoes, if it's because of the lack of ships, then the goblins can go to the 'other continent' first, and then pick up their compatriots, the best solution is of course to send a part of the four races to find the continent by boat, after all, it's not sure if they can find another home.
They must have done what I said.
It is clear that they did not find another suitable place to live, and the people who went to sea did not pick up their compatriots, so that the goblins lived in the Danube, the tidal people lived on the continental shelf, and the spirits became wanderers. So, the omission of history has reappeared, why is there only goblins left on the Great Barrier Reef now, and where have the other people who went to sea with them gone?
The most reasonable guess is that someone else died at sea.
It's too coincidental that whether it's a shipwreck or an attack by the Sea Clan, they can't just leave the Goblin Clan behind. So I guess they didn't drown in the sea, but took a boat and continued their voyage.
If you were to tell me whether they had found 'another continent' or not, and that's where I regret it, my ship was hit by a strong storm a month after it went out to sea, and my ship was shattered by the waves, and I drifted to the Great Barrier Reef with a barrel in my arms, and luckily ended up on the Goblin Island.
I had expected the Goblin Islands to be like an arsenal, since goblins were notoriously warlike, but to my surprise, they lived in such a barren way that women and children were not even able to survive, because the land was even more barren than the Danube.
Yes, I helped them.
I taught them the techniques I had brought from the mainland, such as planting pottery and building buildings, so they always called me 'God-giver' and thought I was an apostle of the gods.
You might say that I helped a group of bandits, but I don't think so.
The coastal strip on the continent is often robbed by goblins, but they rarely rob human gold, and the most plundered is food and clothing, etc., I found their distress when I arrived at the Great Barrier Reef, I don't pity this race, but help the people on the mainland, if they have enough food to be self-sufficient, maybe they can put out the gallon fire.
That's my hope.
In fact, in the past two years, the goblins have been obsessed with planting, and rarely go to the mainland to burn and loot.
Civilizations are supposed to be blended, not independent.
I learned a lot of their skills on the goblin island, and I brought them back to the Orcs. A total of three round-trips, the Great Barrier Reef agate pearls and other agate pearls made the orcs richer and established a kingdom, and the food brought from the mainland made the goblins' life richer and richer.
This must be the last time I think it's been the last time.
I'm about to return to the Orc Kingdom because I'm wanted by the royal family and pressured by the human nobles who see me as a threat to the races on the continent.
By the end of this trip, it should be difficult for me to come back to the Great Barrier Reef. I love my husband very much, but because he has been away for many years, he has become cold to me, and I know that he is not dissatisfied with me in any way, on the contrary, he has provided a lot of help in my actions, and he is only persecuted by the royal family.
Maybe the destination of all women is to have husbands and children, and when I was young, I was sure that it would not be what I Heidi did, but now, maybe it would be good to have a stable life.
Friend, my quest stops here, and I hope you can keep going.
History is always full of mysteries, but that's also the charm. βHeidi in the year 959 of the Twelfth Gregorian Calendar on the mainland. β
After reading all the words, Xia Yi sighed softly, she admired Heidi's mind, there was not a single complaint in the notes she left, and there was no racial discrimination, she stood from the perspective of the entire world.
"She's a very attractive woman." Xia Yi sighed.
Mondo choked up a little, took a long breath of relief, and read the next text softly:
"To dear Mondo,
In the future, if there is a child, he must be called Mondo, and if it is a girl, then it will be called Mondo.
I don't know what you look like, but you will be a lovely child, preferably with golden hair, and ears and eyes like your father.
God, I'm not ready to be a mother.
Still, I love you, my dear child. β
Shay and Mondo both burst out laughing, but Mondo's eyes were shining, and Heidi, whom he was familiar with, would never lecture him, and complimented him in whatever he did. His mother must have told him in this way to remember to smile. (To be continued......)
PS: Xiaole has gone crazy, leave me alone...... Let me be alone for a moment......
