My Wife Is Great Fief Lord

Chapter 341 The Island’s Secret

Three days later, in the early morning, a storm led the island more than 20 nautical miles away, and seven ships were docked not far from the beach.

There are people on the beach and boats, and more than a dozen small boats are shuttled back and forth between the beach and the boats.

Small boats are constantly transporting people and goods from the sea to the shore. There are majestic soldiers, and there are crying women and girls. This is the fleet who has just returned from the looting of Larkin.

Master Gervais is on the beach with an unstoppable proud of one’s success. The looting at this time can be regarded as a bumper harvest. This island is planted with potion coconut palm trees.

These populations and coconut palm trees, Gervais is not going to let the people in the Storm Territory know.

“Sir! Water and food are ready!”

Ike quickly jumped off the boat, and the 8 guards were all carrying one made of animal skins. rucksack.

“Well, let’s go then!”

Gervais> nod!

Then I turned to Gandalf and said, “father, then I’ll trouble you to go to the island here. Check it out and be back before dark!”

“Haha, go! Little Gervais! There’s a father watching here!”

Gandalf sat on a wooden box , drank the wine that Gervais carried with Nathan, and waved to Gervais happily.

Since leaving Gibb Town, Gandalf has always been in this state, looking overjoyed. Obviously, this time he has truly seen his son’s ability, and he will never have to worry about it again.

After saying goodbye to Gandalf, Gervais took Ike and a few people into the dense woods. This island is not big, but it is covered with woods and there is no road to pass.

The main purpose of Gervais this time is to explore the water source, and the other is to determine whether there are dangerous creatures on the island, such as devil beast.

Gervais’ exploration plan is to first circle around the edge of the pirates, and finally to the center of the island.

The terrain of the island is relatively flat, and there are no mountains in sight, which is the main reason why Gervais decided to develop the island. The absence of mountains means that the island was not formed by a volcanic eruption.

Otherwise, after he spends a lot of energy to develop the island, Rongguang will be unhappy and the volcano will erupt, and the entire island will be turned into nothing, and he will definitely cry without tears.

It was difficult to walk through the dense woods. Even though Ike and the others took turns to clear the road ahead, it still took the entire group all morning to complete the exploration around the pirates.

I didn’t find any strange places along the way, and there was no danger, but I did find two flowing streams. Only to the knee of the person.

But this already makes Gervais very happy, there is enough water, not too much water, enough to drink irrigation crops.

After a short break at noon, Gervais and the others turned toward the center of the island, following the creek they had just discovered.

“Sir, there is a lake ahead!”

After walking for about an hour, the guards who opened the way in front of them excitedly turned back and moved towards Gervais and reported loudly.

“oh?”

Gervais immediately quickened his pace, and after that, Jungle suddenly became enlightened. In front of him was a lake the size of four basketball courts. The lake was crystal clear. The deepest part is jade green, and it is impossible to see how deep the lake is. In the water, you can still see some small fish swimming and playing. The small stream just flowed out of this clear lake.

Gervais walked directly to the lake, put his hands in the water, and immediately felt a cool breeze. He didn’t care if there were bacteria in the lake water. Nothing could help him at all.

With the clear water in the lake, Gervais suddenly felt refreshed. After walking in the woods for a long time, he was already bored.

“Sir, there is a stone house here!”

At this time, Ike, who was scattered all around, shouted again.

“stone house?”

Gervais has a strange look in his eyes. There is a stone house on this island. He really didn’t expect it. Get up and quickly moved towards Ike’s side and ran.

The place where Ike is located is not far, only more than 20 meters away from the lake, but because there is no human activity all the year round, with the growth of the woods, the stone house has been surrounded by the jungle.

Gervais originally thought it was just a simple small stone house, but when he really saw the stone house, he found that the scale of the stone house was much larger than he imagined. The land is over a hundred square meters, and it is not square, but arranged in a line.

“Could it be that this place was once the Fiefdom of a nobleman?”

The style of this building became more and more familiar to Gervais, and finally saw the clue. Isn’t the style of this house typical The Lord’s Manor stone house?

Gervais didn’t recognize it for a while because of the vines and stats blocking it.

The shape of this stone house is exactly the same as that of Nathan’s house. On the left is the big house where they live. Then the stone house moved towards the right and extends seven or eight meters. A high stone tower, such a building is both habitable and has a little defensive power. Once the door of the house is closed, it is a small fortress.

It is a necessity for small nobles who do not have enough land and money to build a castle.

 …

Gervais soon came to the interior of the stone house. The furniture and various objects in the interior were covered with dust and grass, apparently because no one lived there for a long time. s reason.

But what’s weird is that people seem to have been turned around in this house at the beginning, all the tables, chairs and furniture are randomly overturned everywhere, Gervais is not one or two times when he goes to Nathan’s house. Well, the layout of such a stone house is very clear.

After all, these stone houses are basically the same in order to be solid and defensive.

Gervais just casually glanced at the entrance of the hall, then stopped, and continued to move towards the entrance of the stone house stairs.

Gervais thinks that if you want to find any useful information in the stone house, it is only possible to go to the second floor. The second floor of this stone house is the private space of the little nobles, and the servants do not have permission to be Not allowed to go up.

When Gervais came to the second floor, it was still messy, dusty everywhere.

Gervais clutched his mouth and nose and opened the first room, which was supposed to be a small bedroom, but the bedroom was empty, with nothing but a broken bed frame.

Gervais came to the second room again, which is the master bedroom of the nobleman, and the space is very large.

“An attack? Or something?”

Gervais found some useful information in this bedroom, which was also rummaged in a mess, but Instead, he saw a silk blouse hanging on a crooked hanger.

Before the nobles go to sleep, the servants will hang the prepared clean clothes on the hangers, so that the nobles can get up in the middle of the night or wear them in the morning. Obviously, the dusty short shirt is This look.

Another point is the bedding on the ground. If you get up normally in the morning, the bedding will be taken away by the servants and stored. Obviously, when the owner of this stone house leaves, the bedding is still on the bed. It should have been night, and there must have been a sudden occurance of what happened.

Gervais carefully went into the bedroom and searched around, but found nothing but dust. He even opened the bedroom window and opened the bedding with a long sword and found nothing.

Even if Gervais guessed that something must have happened to the host here, there is no way of knowing what happened.

Next, Gervais exited the bedroom and went to the next room. The door of this room was left open. This was a study room. The bookshelves on the wall, but none of the bookshelves have a single book on them.

“Encountered a pirate?”

Gervais frowned thought for a while, so many bookshelves did not have a book, which revealed strangeness, and the owner of the stone house obviously encountered a sudden If something happens, it’s always impossible to move all the books away, right?

Gervais first guessed that this place was looted by pirates, after all books can be sold for money, but then Gervais dismissed the idea.

Although books are valuable, those silk quilts, silk clothes, and some copper furnishings are also valuable, but they are thrown on the ground in a mess, not like the style of pirates at all.

even more how If something like this happened, Gandalf would have known it and would have mentioned it to himself.

Gervais walked into the study and checked it carefully. The place most likely to learn information about a noble would be the study.

For example, Gervais’s study has many of his personal items. At first, Thomas was going to find a painter for Gervais to paint a majestic portrait of him to hang in the study, but Gervais refused.

My lord, I haven’t burped, so I hung up my own portrait on the wall.

Of course, this kind of idea is only what Gervais, who came through, thinks so. The big and small nobles in this world like this kind of tone. After all, there is no camera in this world, and portraits are the only way people can keep them. As something of her ‘youth’, there is a portrait of an old count hanging in Alice’s study.

Gervais looked all around the walls, there were no portraits, bookshelves, desks, drawers, still nothing.

“Will there be a secret room? It should be impossible, at most there is only a hidden space!”

Soon, Gervais began to move the bookshelves and furniture against the wall in the study, and it was soon A small hidden compartment was found behind a bookshelf.

But unfortunately, this secret compartment has been opened. This secret compartment is not big, only the size of a wooden box, but it has been completely destroyed at this moment, and the inside is empty.

“His grandmother is a ruthless, ruthless, and she left nothing behind.”

Gervais let go of the bookshelf and turned to the side angrily. ‘s desk kicked.

Click!

“Huh?”

Suddenly Gervais heard the sound of wood cracking, Heaven and Earth can learn from it, his kick just now was useless, after all, it destroyed other people’s relics He still couldn’t do it.

“It looks so sturdy, it turns out to be a Xibei product, no, it’s a secret!”

So Gervais took out his long sword and dug it out at the crack, and he found that there was a Small dark compartment.

This secret compartment is very small, only enough to fit a book, Gervais took out the contents of the compartment, and it turned out to be a book.

Gervais quickly picked up the book to check, because it was placed in the dark compartment of the desk, and the book was still brand new and undamaged.

So Gervais couldn’t wait to open the book and read it.

“Who is the owner of this stone house? It’s actually written in that kind of script?”

Gervais was shocked when he opened the book, the text on the book was not Continent’s general text, but the same text used in the “Brazer Race Detailed Explanation” in Alice’s study. More importantly, this book is still handwritten, it is a diary!

Gervais starts flipping through the books with a hint of excitement.

“In the year 197 of the Gregorian calendar, after my efforts, today I finally won the title of lord, and my territory was canonized on an island! This is also my own request, and only in this way can I avoid their pursuit. Kill! Only then can I find my way home.”

“After two months of busy work, my stone house has been built, but my heart still doesn’t belong here. I miss my wife and children. .”

“Today is the 35th day of sailing. I took two ships to the farthest distance ever, but I still haven’t seen land. The vastness of the ocean is beyond my imagination. , it’s hard to imagine how people escaped to this island in the first place”

“Today is the 39th day, I lost a sea ship, and without warning, its hull There was a huge hole at the bottom, and the sea water poured into the whole ship. In just over ten minutes, the whole ship sank. Fortunately, a rope of my ship’s sail suddenly broke, and it was four or five nautical miles away from them. This is how far I have escaped.”

“I’m back in my Fiefdom again, but my only two ships, the ships I bought with all my savings, are like this I lost one.”

“I kept thinking about it during the time I returned to the voyage, and I seemed to see the hope of returning home, because I felt that the sinking of that ship must have something to do with Sea Clan, The existence of Sea Clan means that I am in the right direction.”

“But it is because of the existence of Sea Clan that it has also become an obstacle for me to go home! Damn Sea Clan is domineering and not humane, Human ships are impossible through their Sea Territory!”

“No, I want other methods!”

“By the way, I thought of a better way today! They The Transmission Formation is built every year, and I can use this gateway to return to my home! I must publicize their crimes and submit them to the Alliance!”

“However, when the Transmission Formation opened, there were countless Orcs, and I’m alone, no one will believe me when I go back!”

“I feel like I need to find allies, I will do whatever I can to get home, I will use what I know I told the monarch who enshrined me, and the monarch is unbelievable, I can only tell him about my cultivation method!”

“He is already in cultivation and I told him the cultivation method! He believes that I did, and it took him half a year to make him from Silver Intermediate to Silver Peak, and he no longer has any pregnancy Doubtful! “

“My Fengjun finally decided to go back with me. He is full of longing for my hometown. He is really a poor person. In just over two hundred years, he has forgotten where he came from.” Where! “

“In the year 203 of the Gregorian calendar, I will be on my way home in one month. I don’t need to be excited, but at the same time, I feel a little uneasy. Sometimes when I go to Fengjun Castle, I will I feel someone staring at me! “

“Will someone find me?” It shouldn’t be, if they find me, they will arrest me immediately! ”

Then, the text of this book came to an abrupt end, and the back was blank.

In fact, it is not so much a diary as a memo to record the mood at will. Ben, because there are very few clear dates and times above, most of them are just random thoughts, just write them down when they think of them.
