The door to the hut was pushed open, and before Wright could see who it was, an enticing aroma was already blowing in his face.

He has been hungry for almost two days since he was shipwrecked, and although Wright is not usually a glutton, his physical hunger still has the upper hand at this moment.

Wright: "It smells so good..."

Ioros: "That's right! Father-in-law's craftsmanship is definitely first-class, even better than those cooks. ”

"Stinky boy, what nonsense, I'm an inventor, not a cook! Not a cook!! ”

The old man's angry scolding was full of anger, and it seemed that it was not difficult to make up the image of a tough guy who was energetic, old and strong just by listening to the voice.

But in fact, when the old man with the lunch box actually appeared in front of Wright's eyes, the young oceanographer realized that he was far less tall than he had imagined.

With a stiff back and cheeks with a slight age spot, at a glance this is an ordinary elder who can't be more ordinary. If anything, the only thing that is special is probably the slightly dry palms - the calluses on the knuckles are obviously not the traces of long-term farming, but they are not like the medals of fishermen and boatmen.

If anything, it's more like the traces of some artisan who has been busy in the workshop all day.

Yes... The old man also said that he was an inventor.

"Oh! Young man, it's not easy for you to wake up, I thought it would take half a day. ”

Wright: "Thanks... Did you bring me ashore? ”

"Not really, it's the imp you should be thankful for, he dragged you back from the beach to the cabin."

… But the troublemaker has also stripped me of all my stuff.

Wright silently pressed the complaint in his heart, looked at the food box in the old man's hand twice, and asked cheekily: "No matter what, I still want to thank you for your help... Well, can we talk while eating? ”

"Hahaha! Yes, you must be hungry after being unconscious for so long, just in time to taste my craft. ”

Changye's father-in-law was happy, and he didn't shirk, and directly put the food box in Wright's arms.

The professional navigator of the Cadet Army smiled awkwardly, and then immediately feasted.

After all, Ioros, on the other side, was still a child's mind, and he couldn't help but be greedy, so he took the opportunity to start enjoying this big meal with Wright.

Wright: "Well, it tastes special, what kind of dish is this?" ”

Ioros: "That?" Crushed leaf seaweed. ”

Wright: "Broken Leaves... Nori? ”

Changye Gong: "Young man, you are from the sea, this is a specialty of our Dragon's Nest Island, you probably haven't seen it." ”

Wright: "It's a rare dish... That's right, sir. ”

"Call me Grandpa Changye, the children on the island call me that!"

"Okay, Father-in-law Changye, may I ask if the small island we are on now is really inside the Dragon's Den?"

"That's right! Dragon's Nest Island is cut off from the open sea by a strong storm, and young people are really lucky that you can drift to the island alive. ”

"This... I guess I'm not lucky enough. Wright smiled bitterly, if he really had a choice, he hoped that he would not encounter that sudden storm at all. Father-in-law Changye, I have a very important need to contact people outside, do you have any solutions? ”

"You're really asking me... Over the years I have been experimenting with telephone bugs to communicate with the outside world, but unfortunately all failed, the storm circle outside the island not only cut off the shipping routes, but also seemed to interfere with other means of communication, and for decades the people on the island were almost completely cut off from the open sea, except for some debris that was swept to the shore by the current. ”

"Didn't anyone ever think about leaving the island?"

"This..."Wright's words seemed to trigger a certain memory of Changye Gong, and he sighed and continued, "There was one thirty years ago, but I don't know if he succeeded. ”

"What do you say?"

"Because after he went to sea, he never came back."

“…”

Wright was silent, as someone who had experienced a storm of baptism, he knew very well that this basically meant that the person had been buried in the sea.

And just when he didn't know what to say, Ioros, who was immersed in his head and eating, suddenly interjected.

"The Pioneer must have succeeded! After all, he had successfully passed through the storm from the open sea and entered Dragon's Nest Island, so he must have managed to get out! ”

The young man wiped his mouth and looked at Wright again, "That's right, that's right!" You also came from the open sea, haven't you heard of the pioneers? ”

Wright: "Which pioneer?" What's his name? ”

Ioros: "A pioneer is a pioneer?" ”

Wright lifted his forehead, and he felt that there seemed to be some subtle deviation between himself and the worldview of the young man in front of him.

So, he simply pointed to himself, "Let's put it this way, I'm a navigator, but there are countless navigators in the world, it's just a profession, and my name is Wright - so, what's your name as a 'pioneer'?" ”

After a full meal, Wright recovered a lot of energy, and finally had the strength to explain the error of the two sides to Ioros, and after this explanation, Ioros seemed to have finally caught up with the train of thought of the seafarers, so he turned his head again and looked at Changye Gong.

"Father-in-law Changye, what is the name of a pioneer?"

"Well..."

Changye Gong's face showed a little embarrassment, but soon, the conversation of several people was interrupted by the noise outside the house that was getting closer and closer.

Wright couldn't hear what they were saying, but he sensed some kind of danger signal.
