Chapter 127 - 127: So Happy
Gravestone?
Matthew was slightly stunned. This thing did not conform to the burial customs of the Aindor civilization.
When he saw the additional remarks, he was relieved.
In the information provided by Samantha, there was a port city called ” Bright Sandalwood “. It was located on the east coast of the Endless Ocean and was once a very prosperous port city.
The city lord of that city was the Bright Sandalwood King. He was also the leader of the first batch of Su clansmen who had brought people across the sea to settle down in Aindor.
“There is an underwater tomb near the island, and it might have been opened by someone. Otherwise, this gravestone wouldn’t have been washed here by the
sea. ”
Matthew had a reasonable suspicion that Bright Sandalwood King’s tomb was not far from the island. It might even be on the island.
Because this gravestone was obviously very heavy, it was impossible for it to drift with the waves for a long time.
Would the inheritance of the Art of Equilibrium be left behind in the tomb of the leader of the Su?
Matthew thought that the possibility was very high.
It was a pity that his divination skills were terrible. Otherwise, he could have tried to obtain more clues.
He picked up the gravestone and continued to walk along the beach.
These days, he had been to many places on Equal Stream Island and had some small gains. Although they were not meaningful, they were all interesting.
The beach was littered with shells, and from time to time, a few stranded big fish could be found.
Matthew couldn’t tell what species they were, but he Imew that they were fat and thin. He put the fish in bags and handed them to Orgen when he returned to the village.
Orgen was a friendly person with good craftsmanship. The fish on the island were fat and delicious. After his treatment, they were steamed, boiled, smoked, or roasted. It was a feast for the taste buds.
This beach wasn’t big.
Before he knew it, Matthew had reached the end.
The coastline ahead suddenly became rugged, and the soft sand was replaced by huge reefs.
Orgen told Matthew that every day, when the tide was low, one could find seafood in the reef area. The taste was even more exquisite.
Unfortunately, the tide was high, and the seawater could surge at any time. The reef area was relatively dangerous.
Matthew stood on a large reef and looked out for a while.
In the end, he walked to a higher place.
Not long after.
Matthew found a large area of abandoned buildings.
The architectural style here was the same as that of the Village of Return, which was made up of large stone houses.
The only difference was that this place had been abandoned. In the middle of the circle of stone houses, there were a few low kiln houses.
This was an abandoned kiln.
Through the traces left on the mottled stone walls, it was not difficult for
Matthew to know that the Su had once burned kilns there on a large scale.
The warehouse next to it was filled with colourful pottery. These pottery were printed with various lifelike animals and everything else.
But Matthew looked around and saw no porcelain.
He didn’t know if it was because the porcelain was more expensive and had been taken away or if they couldn’t restore the craftsmanship of the porcelain there.
Even so, the craftsmanship of the Su was much better than that of the craftsmen in Rolling Stone Town.
Since it was an abandoned kiln, Matthew simply took two sets of pottery and asked Orgen if he needed to pay the fees later.
He left the abandoned kiln.
Matthew continued to walk up the mountain, but after a few steps, he suddenly stopped.
His perception was triggered.
Matthew turned around and saw a short plant on the hillside behind the abandoned kiln.
The plant seemed to have been struck by lightning. Its branches and leaves were charred black as if it could die at any moment.
However, Matthew could feel a vigorous vitality from it!
[Hint: You have discovered a tea tree (Alpine Green Tea)(Lightning Struck)]
Green tea?
Matthew was overjoyed.
He quickly walked over and found seven more tea trees behind the one that had been struck by lightning.
The last seven tea trees were full of tea leaves. From the shape and texture, they were already a little too old to be picked.
Regardless, Matthew picked some tea leaves and brought them back to the village.
He boiled a pot of hot water with his newly acquired pottery and made himself a cup of steaming green tea. After a while, he took a few sips. A refreshing feeling that he had not felt for a long time surged into his forehead.
[Hint: You have consumed a cup of blessed Alpine Green Tea. Your temporary focus +1, learning speed and casting speed have increased by 15%(lasts for 45 minutes)]
“Blessed green tea? Whose blessing?”
Matthew was curious.
This enhancement effect was much stronger than the coffee he often drank.
There were tea leaves in Aindor, but most of them were black tea. There were very few green tea leaves that suited Matthew’s taste.
After drinking a cup of hot tea, Matthew began to have ideas about the tea trees.
In the afternoon.
Matthew found Orgen and talked to him about pottery and tea trees.
As for the former, Orgen said that the Su in the village did some pottery many years ago. For some magical reason, those who use the pottery would have their rate of ageing greatly slowed. Matthew could take some for free for his own use, but he could not use it for personal gain. Otherwise, the pottery would soon be damaged.
This was also the reason why the young people on the island did not take the pottery with them when they left.
As for the tea tree.
Orgen’s reaction was blank. It was not until Matthew showed him the tea leaves and described the exact location of the tea tree that he finally reacted. “You mean that row of short trees? Are those considered tea plants?”
Matthew nodded.
Orgen sighed,
“I’m sorry, I’m afraid that even Zhen Zhu and the other elders in the village don’t know the effects of these trees. Perhaps the village chief knows, but he didn’t take care of them when he was alive..”
