Lukka held up a skewer and took a tentative bite.

"How's that?" asked Ollie, staring at his face.

She wasn't worried that the skewers would be harmful to human health, and she wouldn't have any doubts about what Lukka had tested with magic. The food that had only been tried in the territory of the gnomes on the ground was so unacceptable that despite being hungry, Ollie still couldn't make up her mind to put this brightly colored food in her mouth.

"It's not sweet. Lukka said this, but his facial features were distorted together, but he now had a green face that only goblins had, and it was not very conspicuous when it was twisted to the extreme.

"Then why do you have that expression?" Ollie searched Luca's face for clues.

"It's just a little salty. Lukka rushed to the drink stall next to him, grabbed a glass bottle of colorless clear liquid, and was about to pour it into his mouth, but suddenly remembered something, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Is this fresh water?"

The stall owner was stunned for a moment, but Vic quickly followed, shoving two glass balls into his hand.

The stall owner immediately put on a smiling face and said, "This bottle is salt soda, of course it is salty." ”

"Fresh water is this!" Vic picked up a tin kettle and shoved it into Luka's hand.

After pouring a large bottle of fresh water, Lukka finally regained his voice.

Now, he thoroughly understood the meaning of the island's name. It's not idle fields, and it's not that the food of the dwarfs is too sweet. The real name of this island should be Salty and Sweet Island, at least that's what Luca thinks.

The goblin food is indeed heavy, but fortunately, there are semi-finished products that have not yet been seasoned at the stall. Lukka stared at the owner of the barbecue stall and asked him to re-bake a dozen or so skewers of lizard skewers with a normal amount of salt, pick a few toasted breads that had not yet been sprinkled with salt, and finally drank two large bottles of fresh water.

He and Ollie had a satisfying meal, except for Vic, who was tearfully clutching his emaciated purse and muttering quietly.

Lukka wiped his mouth, and Ollie dragged Vic behind him all the way to the Mining Association's headquarters.

As the book of the museum says, this is not only a government processing center, but also one of the oldest historical sites in the deep mining city, and the hall on the first floor is open to the public for free, and there are several teams of young goblins who look like students, lined up to walk inside, led by the teacher.

The three Lucas followed them, pretending to be the elementary school teacher who followed the team, trying not to attract attention. At the corner of the corridor, he quickly dodged up the stairs and came to the second floor while people were not paying attention.

"Why aren't there any guards here?" asked Ollie, looking alarmingly at the empty hallway.

This is very abnormal, as the residence and office of the actual ruler of Deep Mining City, not to mention the guards, there is not a single figure to be seen on the entire second floor.

"What's the matter? We're safe here, unlike the gnomes on the surface, and we need guards to watch over our residents! Besides, it's a day off, and no one is normal?" Vic didn't care.

"Bemeng, the books in the library say that the president usually lives here, even if it's a day off, what about the others?" Lukka didn't believe him, holding the staff in his hand.

"Can't you go out and play? How many things do you have to do on your days off? Can't you go on outings, dinners, drives, or even help robbers pay the bills?" said Vic, pouting.

As the captain of the ship, Luca seems to have no days off. Even when he had the rare time to spare, he seemed to be really staying in the house, either studying magic in the captain's room or cooking in the kitchen, and rarely wandering under the stars anyway. Of course, this is also because he has been on the ship all year round, and the total space is so large, even if it is a giant ship like the Silent Death, there is nothing new on the deck to see.

"Are you really staying in the house?" Vic understood Luka's expression this time, "What a waste of you guys, you can see the sky with stars, the moon and the sun, and you still can't go out!"

"Everyone has their own aspirations, and besides, I can see the sky and something fresh every day on it. Lukka said, pulling out the floor plan to confirm it, and walked quickly to the study on the second floor.

What Vic says is always true or false, and the so-called "rest day" contradicts what he just said about the minecart departure. But now that time is limited, there is no need to dwell on this with him, anyway, Lukka has found a place, the map of the well area and the obstacle between him, there is only a door to the study that is only locked.

Lukka was just about to cast a spell when Ollie behind him stabbed out with a sword, not only knocking the door lock down, but also poking a large hole in the door panel.

"I haven't had a chance to use this lockpicking technique since I learned it!" Luca grumbled, pushing the door open and entering.

The study was also empty, with a desk by the window and rows of bookshelves and cabinets on the other side.

Luca rummaged for a while and easily found a map of the well area. On the shelves, thirty-six volumes of identical maps are piled on top of each other, and it's hard to ignore them.

He opened several of them to make sure that the maps were indeed indistinguishable, then took out two scrolls from them, looked around the cabinet again, pulled out a half-worn leather backpack, and placed the maps inside.

"We had to have enough water and food, and the way back from the well was not close. Lukka said, handing the backpack to Ollie.

"At least half a month, preferably dry food, this backpack may not be enough. Ollie said.

"That's right," Lukka asked, turning to Vic, "how much money do you have?" ”

"You've gone too far. Vic gritted his teeth and said, but as a prisoner, he didn't have much room for resistance, so he could only answer honestly, "I still have one hundred and thirty-six in my wallet, as long as I don't buy too expensive ones, half a month's supply should be enough." ”

"Okay, take the money, let's go. Ollie carried the bag on her back.

The three of them returned the same way they came, standing at the top of the stairs, but Lukka suddenly stopped.

The goblin schoolchildren who were still noisy downstairs just now disappeared in less than half an hour, and in the empty hall, only the footsteps of leather boots on the marble floor echoed back and forth.

Now, in the entire headquarters of the Deep Rock Mining Association, except for the three of them, there is no longer a single figure to be seen.

Lukka walked to the window and lifted the curtain to look out, and the street was empty, not even the six-legged lizard-pulled cart was nowhere to be seen.

However, in the buildings farther away, there seemed to be faint signs of goblin activity, but at this distance, without a telescope, it was difficult to see.
