Chapter 30: The Clue to the Ruins
Wu Yun was rarely idle, and in Kanu's words, he had to seize the opportunity when it came. There are quite a few outsiders in the village these days. So the sales of melon sauce are not bad. Wu Yun and the others worked overtime to start a new round of melon sauce making.
Wu Yun was mainly responsible for the main preparation, Kashan was in charge, and the other two were responsible for the collection of melons and sour fruits. It's wise to take advantage of this time to sell more. Everyone worked together and saved nearly 600G in less than a week, but recently there was a serious problem, the number of melons collected by the two is getting smaller and smaller. The melon fields near the village have long been looted by them. Finally, on this day, Wu Yun had nothing to do. But he was not happy at all. Because his mind kept thinking about the name of the company on the wall of the stone house, he took the time to ask Soru, but even the well-informed village chief knew nothing about it.
Wu Yun wanted to go to the bar and ask Kanu what he thought, but when he thought that there was such a troublesome existence as Claire there, he had to give up the idea. It's also important to note that the bar is so crowded that it's not a good place to discuss this confidential topic.
I don't know why when the fox mentioned searching for ruins before, Wu Yun thought of it for the first time. He couldn't figure it out. After tossing and turning for a night, he decided that it would be better to go back to the scene to have a look. After he and Kasan told him about their plans, they couldn't help but look at him suspiciously.
"You're still going out? Do you want the fat man to carry you back? "Xiao Lei still remembers the last time." Besides, the monster is still hanging outside. ”
"I'm fine, I'll go if I want to." The fat man had an indifferent look on his face. "What the hell are you going to do there?" Kashan and Xiao Lei obviously wanted to ask this question as well, and the three of them looked at Wu Yun with curious expressions.
"I think there's something wrong there. Maybe there will be a clue to some ruins. Wu Yun still had no reservations about the three of them.
"Ruins!?" All three of them shouted out at once.
"Really?" Xiao Lei suddenly changed as if he was a person. "You're not kidding, this isn't a joke~"
"It's like, we've only heard about the ruins." Kasan looked surprised, "None of us have ever found the ruins. Even Claire hadn't heard her mention it~"
"I heard that if you find the ruins, you don't need to mention the treasures inside, and there will be a lot of rewards for reporting to the Hunters Guild." The fat man apparently didn't notice the saliva on the corner of his mouth: "If you find another chariot, let alone say it." ”
"You're dreaming." Xiao Lei said with an experienced look. "There are many kinds of ruins. And those with tanks are simply surprisingly rare. ”
"Just think about it," the fat man scratched his head, "don't you want to have a chariot?" ”
"Nonsense." This sentence made Xiao Lei roll his eyes.
"Can you really find the ruins?" Kasan lost her usual composure and asked rather hurriedly, "Is it right here with us?" ”
"Now it's just a thought. You can only know if you go there. Wu Yun shook his head, "I guess I don't have much certainty." ”
The three of them completely ignored the second half of his sentence and disappeared in front of Wu Yun in one fell swoop. Before he could react, the three of them were already standing at the gate in full gear.
"Hurry up, don't grind." Kashan waved her hand, and Wu Yun hurriedly followed.
The previous time it was a detour to reach the Grey Room. In fact, if you go directly from the village, the distance is still very close. Wu Yun was not as tired as last time. About half an hour or so. Everyone arrived at their destination.
Last time it was night, so there was no chance to see it clearly, and now Wu Yun saw its appearance clearly,
The walls outside the house were the same as those seen in the house that day, they were all made of gray stone, and it is estimated that its name is derived from this. Backed by a dense forest. There's a stone mountain inside. The boulder-made peaks stand out in the forest.
Everyone walked in, and Wu Yun walked straight to the wall with letters. The three followed.
What is it that makes me feel that there is always a sense of disharmony here? Wu Yun checked back and forth several times, but didn't find anything strange, the fat man and Xiao Lei were a little bored, so they walked out of the house, and Kashan carefully stood beside Wu Yun and observed Wu Yun's every move.
After trying many methods, Wu Yun had to consider giving up the idea of continuing to investigate. He slowly walked out of the stone house. Kasan followed with a look of concern.
"Looks like I was wrong." Wu Yun looked frustrated, "I always felt that something was wrong here, but I couldn't find anything." ”
"I think if there are ruins here, it must be in that stone mountain." Xiao Lei said a little unwillingly.
Several people looked at Shi Feng. Wu Yun looked at the steep stone wall. It doesn't look like a good place to build a company. And if it was in the mountains, the search would be fantastic for them now. Wu Yun shook his head, it seems that this shortcut still doesn't work.
Wu Yun turned around and wanted to call Kasan to prepare to go back, but he saw the stone house behind the girl again.
Wait a minute. Odd? Why is this happening? Wu Yun discovered something at once. He rushed to the front of the stone house, touched the wall of the stone house with his hand, and rushed into the house in a few steps. I looked around.
"Uh-huh, hehe-hehe" Wu Yun couldn't help but laugh out loud from Xiao Lei. "You're so smart~"
"Me?" Xiao Lei looked confused. looked at Wu Yun blankly, "Is it really in the stone mountain?" ”
"No, no, no" Wu Yun finally realized why it was very incongruous here. The rough walls and the smooth floor are completely two materials!
Obviously, the stone of the stone house came from the stone mountain. But why not just keep doing the ground? If you're afraid of trouble, it's not impossible not to do the ground. And now the material of this floor obviously does not belong to the above scheme.
The reason why he didn't find out about this problem in the first place. It's because he's so familiar with the material of flooring. It is exactly the same as the ground on the first floor of the village chief's house and the road to the entrance of the village!
Wu Yun didn't doubt his judgment in the slightest, but he still had a key problem to solve.
"Let's speed back." The three of them followed Wu Yun back to the village in confusion. Wu Yun's strong psychology to solve the mystery obviously prevailed. This time he didn't have the same tired feeling as last time.
"Village Chief Solu~" Wu Yun shouted as soon as he entered the door. The old man looked surprised. He had rarely seen Wu Yun so excited.
"Village Chief, did this road exist when you came here?" Wu Yun pointed to the straight road at the door.
"yes, back then the road was a little longer than it is now, and it looked like it was a little bit outside the iron gate." Soru recalled.
"Then why is it gone now?" Xiao Lei took the lead. Wu Yun glared at him naturally. But that's exactly what he was asking.
"I think it's because of the snow." Soru said slowly, "So after that, I will occasionally send someone to clean up in the village. Overall, the road is still very durable. ”
"Sure enough." Wu Yun had already confirmed his thoughts. "Are there any other gray houses nearby?"
"There seems to be another one..." Solu said as he took out the map he had shown Wu Yun earlier and spread it out on the table. Several people gathered around.
"Probably here." Soru pointed to a corner of the map. Wu Yun's specific location was not clear. What can only be determined is. It's a long way from the village.
"Based on where the materials are used." Wu Yun pointed to the corner between the village and the vicinity. Word for word. "I'm sure there should be a road in these places."
"It's just that most of the roads are weathered because of the open air. Only the floor of the Grey House and some of them remain in the village. ”
Looking at the expressions of the three of them listening to the heavenly book, Wu Yun had to look at Suo Lu as if asking for help. The old man didn't speak for a long time, just looked at the map hard.
"What does that mean?" Xiao Lei asked. "What the hell do you mean by talking for a long time?"
"That is, there is an unknown road near the village of Mado, and there is a high probability that there will be ruins in the vicinity of it." Soru finally spoke, "That's where the company mentioned in the Grey Room is located. ”
"How likely do you think this is?" Wu Yun asked a little anxiously. "There are already three points, and we only need to look for the remaining clues on the road surface and we should be able to judge the direction of the road. You'll save a lot of time. ”
"It's worth a try," Soru nodded, and he asked with a slight confusion, "It's strange to me that Mado Village is remote and inaccessible. The neighborhood is basically woods and grasslands, and there are no special resources" So what the hell is this company doing here? ”
"I don't know." Wu Yun shook his head, but it was clear that his eyes were shining with excitement. "Don't you know when you find it~"
