Chapter 18: Mountain Dwelling
"Well, I guess it's the right way."
Diess surveyed his surroundings and compared the map in hand.
The sloping hillside is lined with lush trees, which are obviously often tended and pruned to give this neat appearance.
There are quite a few rocks between the trees, but for Dies, finding a path is not a problem, as long as it is in the right direction.
In a few jumps, Dees was able to pass through the obstacles.
It may seem difficult to climb the trail to the top of the mountain, there are rumors of wild beasts, blocked rivers, and poisonous weeds, but in fact there are not many dangers that Dees encounters.
Of course, there are reasons for strength, but it is more likely that someone, no, it is just false information released by a certain person.
After walking for about twenty minutes, Dees climbed to the top of the mountain, holding his knees and breathing heavily.
He may have incredible strength, but he was also a little tired from running such a long distance without stopping.
Fortunately, when it finally arrived, Dees exhaled a cloudy breath and straightened up...... Then I was deeply attracted by the scene in front of me.
"Hey, this kind of thing can also be called a 'wooden house'?"
Not far away, a large building occupies a large part of the space.
It is more than ten meters high and is divided into three floors.
On the right side of the first floor, there is a red wooden door embedded in the wall, and there are six steps under the door frame, and there are glass windows on the left side that are not far from each other, and you can vaguely see the living room inside, with brown carpets, mahogany tables and chairs, and light gold edged chandeliers, which are very stylishly furnished.
The second floor should be a living room, half the size of the first, and the missing part is replaced by a spacious balcony.
In the warm sun, a few coats swayed with the slight mountain breeze, bringing out bursts of fragrance.
As for the third floor, which is a little smaller than the second floor, it may be a storage room, and there are no windows, so Diess can't see the structure inside clearly.
However, this did not affect Dies's judgment, he clearly remembered what someone had said at the time.
Build a wooden house and live an ordinary life.
"I really want a wooden house like this."
Dees sighed, twisted the door open, and walked in.
The tip of his nose faintly smelled the aroma of thick soup, which made Diess feel a little hungry.
"Why did you come back so early today, did you find everything?"
At the end of the living room, a girl in a white apron leaned out and looked over.
"Yo, excuse me."
Dees raised his hand and said hello, a smile that appeared on his lips that he thought he was kind, but was actually very flirtatious.
“.....”,
From Hiludana's gentle to cold transition, Diess is probably aware of the fact that he is not very popular.
"You sit down for a while, I'll get it done in no time."
Although the attitude was very direct, Heroda's next words still made Diess feel a lot better.
After a short time, Shiluda stepped out and changed the apron from his coat.
"What do you want to drink, coffee or juice?"
Hiluda walked over to the closet, picking out the kind.
"No, I've brought something, drink this."
Diess opened the gift box he was carrying and placed a white flask on the table.
"When Garon comes back, we'll have a good talk."
Hiluda walked over, uncorked the bottle, sniffed, and frowned.
"He doesn't drink anymore, so he can put this in the kitchen as a seasoning."
"Eh, this is a fine wine that I have been looking for for a long time to get my hands on......"
Hiluda walked to the closet and smiled, the cold air in his eyes that immediately made Diess shiver.
"Coffee, or juice?"
“.......”,
"Coffee, coffee, also, yes, fruit, juice!"
"Coffee, thank you."
"You're welcome."
The rich aroma stimulates the taste buds, and the coffee prepared by Hiluda is naturally impeccable, but it is a pity that Diess always feels uncomfortable.
"Would you like some sugar?"
"No, not anymore."
"He'll be back later today, I've prepared some food in the kitchen, and you can try it together when he's here."
Hiluda packed up her things and seemed to be ready to go out.
"You're leaving?" , Dees asked.
"I'm going to town today, and I'll be back before dinner." Hiluda walked to the door, bent down and put on his black leather boots, and as if remembering something, he turned around and said to Dis. "By the way, don't let him touch the dry bread, he ate a lot of that stuff yesterday and his stomach is still a little upset."
“...... Good. ”
"In addition, no, I can, drink, drink!"
"Understood."
It wasn't until the other party left the house satisfied that Dees breathed a sigh of relief.
This feeling of not knowing whether to envy or be sad is really tangled.
Diess stretched his waist widely, it seemed that he was doing well, and this time he might have really bothered him.
Taking a sip of coffee, Dice propped his chin in one hand and his eyes half-closed.
If things hadn't gotten troublesome, I probably wouldn't have come to you. Garon, I hope you don't blame me......
I don't know how long I waited, but when Diess was a little sleepy, there was a noise outside the door.
Well, he's back?
The man outside the door also seemed to be aware of the fact that there were people in the house, but maybe he had misunderstood something, so he put down what he was holding and said.
"Is the business in the city done, why did you come back so early?
Everything you want is here, I'm not sure if it's the right one, so you might as well come and have a look-"
He took off his shoes and looked up, just in time to meet someone's greeting.
"Yo, excuse me."
The corners of Dies's mouth once again outlined a flirtatious smile,
“.......”,
"Okay, I know you're not welcoming me, so can you change your expression?"
- Two hours later, inside the hot springs.
"I really didn't react for a while, you don't have to worry so much, right?"
Garon said embarrassedly with his hands in front of him.
On the other side of the hot spring, Dees leaned against the rocks, spread out his limbs and looked up at the sky, looking bored.
"Okay, okay, count me wrong, count me wrong, I apologize, can I apologize?"
For someone's sincere attitude, Diess snorted coldly, and there was no follow-up.
Soaking in the warm and boiling water, both of them felt the fatigue in their bodies slowly disappear.
Hot springs are different from hot water because they not only cleanse the body, but also purify the mind.
After a long silence, Dees felt that his anger was almost out, and he chatted with Garon.
"How did you find this place?"
"Oh, I was going to give her mountain spring water at that time, and in order to bring the water source over, I dug this place with tools, and I didn't know that I dug this out while digging."
"Tsk, you're really nice to her."
"Almost, just do what you can, it's not a big deal anyway."
Garon put a towel over his face,
"By the way, what is the matter with coming to me this time?"
Diese closed his eyes and took a deep breath, as if he was muttering, as if asking.
"Garon, do you have any feeling that the world is a little unreal?"
