Chapter 320: Buried Bones

It was only at the end of October that they had finally arranged everything and began to make their way to their destination, an unnamed island very close to the Academy.

The rice sprouts he had soaked hadn't been eaten yet, but they couldn't wait, so they had to leave it to Queenie to take care of them, and when they returned, they would be able to celebrate.

They rented a boat and were led by an experienced boat boss.

Chester stood at the bow of the boat, feeling a little bored at this time: "Others go out on adventures to find some dangerous places, hunt monsters, pick potions, just go around the academy, will we be looked down upon after the school starts?"

As he spoke, he looked a little embarrassed, as if he regretted that he had not been able to show his manhood.

"Are you stupid?" March gave him a caring look, "Jia Yi's grades are the best, and he has now published a paper on soilless cultivation, and when the next semester is successful, after the cultivation of elf rice is successful, no one will dare to underestimate him." Even if you will be despised, you will only be there. ”

She also forgot that the plant classification book compiled by Jiayi and them was about to be listed as a botany textbook for the next semester, and Gwen just mentioned to them that although it was not officially announced, it was not far off, but even if it was just a paper on soilless cultivation, it was already very good.

It's not uncommon for someone to be at the level of an arcanist in six years at the academy.

Jia Yi said: "We went to the island in case we found anything, but it was going to be much more showy, we reported the suspicions on the island at the time, but there was no follow-up, this time we must find out something." If we don't find it, let's go to the Green Hole, although it is sealed by the Academy, it is not completely forbidden to enter and exit, there are Arowana inside, and it is not bad to hunt a few. ”

He came out this time, in fact, mainly to relax, he even brought swimming trunks, but it was Chester's unforgettable adventure, which was incidental in his eyes.

Jiayi paused and said to the rest of the people: "Regarding the matter of the elf rice, you don't need to discuss it too much, let alone tell others, the academy wants to keep it secret, and we are likely to cooperate with the academy, which is also a protection for us." ”

Jia Yi is now waiting for his teacher to come out, and there are two purple-robed mages to back him up, so he has the confidence to negotiate conditions with the academy.

However, Orlando and Queenie are both professors of the college, and they will definitely protect the interests of the college, and it is impossible to give all the benefits to Jiayi.

The island they were going to was not far from the Academy, and they hurried all the way there, without stopping on the way, faster than the last time they had swept the lake, and in the evening they reached the nameless island.

They kept the boat boss on the boat to watch the boat, and again came to the hut on the shore of the lake, and Kaichi said: "This place must have been inhabited for a long time, and a white skeleton was found in the forest, and we guess it is very likely that it is the owner of this place, and there is the same kind of parchment in both places, although it is rotten, but the texture is very similar, like the same batch." ”

March added, "In the package around the bones, we found a written record, which should be a log, recording that the other party came to find the mage and found the island. ”

Chester said, "Shouldn't you go to the academy if you're looking for a mage?

Jia nodded and said: "This is also strange to us, this place is not far from the academy, theoretically only needs to walk east for another day or two, he will be able to discover the existence of the academy, he should not die on this island, look at the log In the end, he was not able to find the existence of the mage." If he hadn't found something on this island, he shouldn't have stayed on this island and not gone out. ”

Jiayi felt that there were many strange places on this island, in the bay of the upper island, there were obvious traces of artificial excavation, but on the island, except for this wooden house, there were no other traces of human activities, which was obviously abnormal.

It is impossible for a mage to pass by here, in order to facilitate the docking of the boat, the entrance to the river bay is widened, and the reef is broken, how idle this mage must be or how strong his strength should be, otherwise it is good to find a place to go ashore again or use a small boat to go ashore.

However, there were really no useful clues in the previous search, and after reporting it to the academy teacher, the academy teacher might have someone come to see it, but still nothing was found.

As soon as Jia came over, he was unwilling, but he was not sure, and the so-called plan was probably a casual plan.

They set up camp outside the hut and rested for the night.

The next day, after breakfast, they searched the hut carefully, but still found nothing.

Coming out of the back of the house, Chester shook his head and said, "I haven't found anything in the back of the house, is this just an ordinary hut, maybe built by fishermen, to rest here for a while between fishing?" ”

Yancy retorted: "If a fisherman has a boat, how can he build a hut here to rest, and it is more credible to say that someone is alive and used for a vacation." ”

"That is, someone built it for vacation, yes, so it makes sense, in order to come over for vacation, because he has to come and go often, so he dredged the lake bay, leaving traces. ”

╮(╯_╰)╭

Since there were no clues in the house, Jia Yi and the others decided to go to the top of the mountain to have a look and see if they had found anything.

On the way, when they arrived at the place where they met the white bones, Jia Yi pointed to a big tree next to him and said, "We found the white bones under this tree, except for a package around us, there is basically no valuable discovery." ”

"What's in that package?" asked Janssy.

The last time they swept the lake, Jancy and Trudy were in another squad, so they didn't know much about what was going on here, because there was nothing to discover here, so there were no rumors going out, after all, there was no explosion, and no one wanted to know what had happened on a lonely island.

Jia Yi walked under the tree and said, "There is a journal inside, which records why he came here, it is said that he is to follow the footsteps of the mage, and there is the archmage here." I thought he was going to the academy, but I always felt that something was wrong here, so I came back to look for it again. ”

He pointed to a small mound of dirt on the side: "That's where the bones are buried, and we buried him there." ”

If it weren't for Jiayi, Yangxi and they wouldn't have found out that this was a small tomb, and after a spring and summer, it was already overgrown with weeds, and they thought it was an ordinary mound of earth if they didn't pay attention.

It can be seen that they did not put much thought into burying the bones.

Most mages are indifferent, modern mages or modern academic mages are even better, and it is still common for mages to experiment with other creatures, humanoids, and even intelligent creatures such as humans when it was a little more distant back. It's good to see a white skeleton willing to turn over a piece of soil and bury it, let alone a tombstone.

If Jiayi and they don't pay attention to self-protection, the end of this white bone is likely to be their end.

Kaichi took out his portable sonar and shot at the surroundings.

March walked over, looked at the sonar display, and asked, "Did you find anything?"

Jia Yi sent the sonar in front of her eyes and said, "You can also take a look, there is nothing, I just scan it at will." ”

March looked at the sonar display in front of him, the graphics were not very clear, because the reflection of the ground and plants was different, the graphics were like a TV without a signal, and the graphics of various waves were also a bit like a contour map.

However, March is already familiar with this, and his ability to read sonar maps may not be as good as that of Jiayi, but it is far beyond the average level.

She, like Jiayi, mainly pays attention to the underground, the underground waveform is complex, and there are more stones that can be distinguished, but there are no holes, she shook her head, and she wants to return the sonar to Jiayi with one hand.

However, the sonar did not turn off, and after leaning over, the sonar swept over the entire tree, and in the afterglow of March, the upper part of the tree seemed to be somewhat different.

She hurriedly straightened the sonar, scanned it neatly up and down the tree, and then shouted to the others, "Come and see, there is a hole in this tree." ”
