72- Conversation in the lighthouse
Wei Er opened his eyes, and felt unusually excited, and the sleep just now was really dark, and the sun and moon were dark.
All right.
It's just that when my eyes are closed, it's dark, and when I look at the sun in the sky, I find that the night has passed.
Sit up, your stomach screaming with hunger, and pick up the fish ...... charcoal sticks, tossed it aside.
Taking out some old dragon fruit pie from his backpack, Vere ate it.
"Whew~Ollie is hungry~" Ollie rubbed his eyes, saliva hung on the corners of his mouth, and sat up, the sound in his stomach seemed to be louder than that of Will.
In fact, it's not surprising to think about it, Ollie went to the sea to fish by himself after mining with Wiel, can he not be tired?
As a result, before he had eaten a few bites, he was forcibly hypnotized again.
Although it was very comfortable to sleep, the sea breeze was not much, and there was a campfire around me, lying on a thatched mat.
But!
Ollie is hungry~
Looking at what Weir handed over, Ollie didn't open his eyes to look, but his nose moved, and he bit down.
"What are you doing! Oh my hands! There was a scream from Wiel.
Ollie's ears pricked up, and he found himself biting dragon fruit pie and Veil's fingers.
"Whew! Degree step up~" The mouth was stuffed, and Ollie let go of Weir's teeth and chewed on his own.
Ver shook his hand and sat down to eat.
"Prepare, we're about to go."
"Hmm! Be! Swollen male! Ollie took another bite of pie, and it was hungry.
…………
The oars paddled across the water, and in the distance, several stone bridges and piers came into view.
Weel and Ollie rowed around the island and returned to the town of Docks, as Wiel called it.
"Wow~ It's finally back! Ollie can eat something fresh again! ”
In fact, the two of them have only been out for a total of 7 or 8 days, but what they have experienced makes Ollie feel unusually "fulfilling".
The boat was parked, and the two went ashore.
Found that although the town is still run, everything around it is very clean.
A cobblestone road leads from the pier in the direction of the tower.
Weel and Ollie marveled at the narrow path on the sea between the town and the tower.
The pebble road under your feet, the stone railing next to the narrow road, is white and smooth.
The weeds on the ground were gone, except for a few beautiful wildflowers growing on the edge of the cliff next to it.
Holding on to the stone fence and walking towards the tower, the two of them looked left and right. It's like I've never been here.
In a short time, the two of them came to the bottom of the tower.
The tower, which was originally somewhat dilapidated, now glows white in the sunlight.
Now it's time to call it a lighthouse.
Although there is no pillar of light projected, the originally closed top floor has now become an open covered platform.
The stone wall is attached to the white railing, and the wooden door is open under the tower. The dark pattern is darker than the carving, and the stars are shining.
Bluebirds in the clear sky, and colorful fish fly on the tide. Two people returned to look at it, and one stood on the waves.
"Vere! Ollie! …… You're back! Boris looked over the cliff beside the tower, heard footsteps, and turned back to see the two of them returning.
Boris walked over slowly, although his steps were steady, but the speed was quietly accelerating.
Wille greeted Boreth with a smile, "Ah~ We're back!" ”
……
"Wow~!! It's amazing! Ollie stood beside the stone railing of the lighthouse, looking at the view from above, his two ears pricked up by the wind, and he was very excited to exclaim on the platform.
"I didn't expect you to be able to take care of this place like this in the past few days." Will and Boreth stood together, clasping their hands, and looking at the blue sea in front of them with great magnificence.
"After all, I don't have anything else to do, and besides, I use the power of the sacred tree." Boreth glanced back at where they had come from.
"Oh, you're talking about that little twig down there?"
Boris nodded, "I broke it from the sacred tree." ”
"Tsk...... The sacred tree is really omnipotent......"
Bo Ruisi smiled and shook his head, "Are your things going well?" ”
"Well, we've done everything we want, and now we can go to sea as long as we build a ship."
"That's nice......" Boreth straightened the ends of his hair, which had been tossed by the sea breeze.
"Let's go down, it's too windy here. I have some more things to ask you. Wiel turned to Boreth and said.
"Okay, do you want to call Ollie?"
"No need, let him have some fun here for a while." After that, he said to Ollie, "Let's go down first." ”
"Whew! ~”
"He didn't hear it." Bo Ruisi covered his mouth and smiled.
Ver shook his head and headed down.
A neat stone fence appeared next to the stone staircase, and the two slowly walked downstairs.
In the center of the wooden door that enters, there is a small flower pot directly from the ground, which is more appropriate to say that it is a flower pot, although it is only the size of a flower pot.
The point is not somewhere, but in the center, there is a branch, a stone branch.
"Boreth, Ollie and I met the Shadow Monster while digging for gold......"
Bo Race stopped in surprise, "How did you escape?" There were no injuries. ”
Vere glanced at Boreth, "No, I wiped it out. ”
"Oh? How did you do that? Are there any injuries? Relieved, Boreth asked Vere.
"I can't remember......," Wille frowned, "I didn't know anything when that thing was going to attack Ollie, and by the time I came to my senses, it was gone...... Ollie said I defeated the monster. ”
"Is there anything noteworthy about that?" Boris asked.
Shaking his head, "I don't know, really." ”
"Have you been in a coma for a long time?"
"Nope."
"That means you don't know anything?"
“…… I don't know, and I don't know if it's good or bad...... However, I feel like I'm getting better. Will raised his hands and looked at them carefully.
Syllable! A slap from Boreth slaped Wille on the back.
"It seems that you are thinking too much, but you don't." Bo Ruisi secretly put his mind at ease, "It doesn't seem to be what I thought. ”
"What are you doing, Boreth?" Weir clutched his back—but couldn't reach it, grinning in pain. "What do you want?"
Boris walked past the branches of the sacred tree and sat down on a stone chair beside him.
"It's nothing, I'm just wondering if you've been ghosted...... It seems that there is none. ”
"How is that possible? ……! Wer twisted and walked towards his chair, but suddenly froze. Focused his gaze on his own hands.
Sunlight shone in through the large window next to the lighthouse, shining on Wille's face and casting shadows on the back of his hand.
"What's wrong?" Bo Ruisi sat on the stone chair dignifiedly, leaning forward slightly.
Weir clenched his fist and waved his arm, "Ah~ nothing. ”
"And after that? Where did you find the gold mines? Boris picked up a book that had been set aside and flipped through it casually.
"Behind that shadow monster, there's a stone door underground. We went inside the building. ”
"The stone gate underground?"
"Yes, we were surprised, too, but the weirder things were yet to come. We walked inside, and there were two forks, and there was a knock on the door from one of them. ”
"Is there anyone?" Boreth spread the book out in his hand.
Wiel shrugged, "That's what the two of us think too. So the way that didn't go to the vein to guide me went straight in the direction of the knock on the door. ”
"And then? You see...... Star Spirit? Boreth had stopped reading, and she could see that she was looking forward to it.
"No, no, there was only a wooden door, and from behind it came a clear, hoarse voice." Vere came and sat down beside Boreth. Boreth gave up some space to the side.
"Do you hear a voice?"
"yes, all I heard was voices."
"And what did he say?"
"Did you bring anything to eat?"
"Huh? Ah, bring it. Boris carved out the air and pulled out some fruit. What did the voice say? ”
"The voice said, 'Did you bring anything to eat?' These five words. Veel looked at the fruit in his hand with a black line on his face.
Bo Ruisi's tone stiffened, "Eh~ And then?" ”
"So I took out a pie and handed it to the door." Vere took a bite of the fruit that Boris had handed him. "It's crispy."
"The door is open?"
"No, what I had in my hand just disappeared." Vere gave Boreth a look, "I was confused, and then the voice said that it was good to eat." After that, it was gone...... Oh, by the way, that voice also asked my name. ”
"Gone? Didn't you open that door? Boreth looked incredulous.
"Really, even the door was gone, I was more radical than you thought, I wanted to smash that door open. But like a puff of smoke, it just disappeared! Wille dragged the fruit, squirting a little juice out of his mouth.
"Behind the door?"
"It's a wall, at first I thought it was a secret passage, but after priing open the stone wall, I found that there was a beach behind it, and there was no trace of it at all!"
"There's really no trace?"
"Not really!"
"Did you hit a ghost?"
"Ahem, cough, even if you think so, it seems right, but don't say it so directly." Vere choked.
"And after that?"
"Nothing happened after that, Ollie and I have been mining. Digging for a few days. ”
"Hmm......" Boreth closed the book and fell into deep thought. Aren't you afraid? ”
"Maybe get used to it." Wiel spread his hands.
"But then again, it's changed a lot."
"How are you going to build a ship, Wiel?" Boreth also asked the ideal question.
"That's what it is, it's so cosy here...... "Will, leaning over the branches of the sacred tree, "do you think of anything?" ”
Vere tried to touch the branches of the sacred tree, but he passed through it.
"What you said reminds me of the Door Spirit." Boreth said with a sigh.
"Doorbell?" Will walked to the window and looked back at Boris, "Bu Bu ”
"Huh?"
"It's nothing, what are you talking about?"
"Very few people have seen it, but like you said, the door spirits are like special things that are produced in a special place, and no one knows how they came to be."
"What are they? Is there anything special about it? ”
"The door spirits are all in hard-to-access places, open a door, and it will give you a hint to find the passage outside the passage." Boreth paused for a moment, recalling that "if you can fulfill its wishes, it will also open a door for you, or make your way there unhindered." ”
"So, is it just a way for me to get out to the beach?"
"It is very likely that the story of the Door Spirit is often circulated among the miners who escaped from a mining accident. Someone gave me a stone because of a similar request, and found many places where treasures were hidden. ”
"I've also fulfilled its desire to eat. Why didn't you see ...... Gold mine! ”
"Chances are, you didn't go to the mine first, maybe there was a collapse or some other situation before you satisfied the door spirit."
"I see...... But it also asked for my name? Do Door Spirits Still Have Wisdom? ”
"He asked your name? …… I don't know, I haven't heard of it. ”
"Forget it, just know that I didn't miss the traces of the Star Spirit."
Wiel looked out the window, at the docks and out to sea.
"I'm going to get ready to build a ship."
