292 7.20 Prospectors Are On Their Way (1/2)

”There's no more of those wild animals lurking around anymore, and I guess it would be safe for us both to take a rest now and forget about snacking and all those stuff.” I was kind of disappointed when I can't get my hands on those cashew nuts and had to settle for harder to chew beans that would definitely dirty the whole teeth with its bits and pieces stuck in between.

I lay down on the ground sideways and when I placed my head on my arm, I fell asleep within minutes as I had used up some of my Internal Chi to visualise a fusion chamber. This fusion chamber that I visualised cannot reproduce something just by placing a steel plate on it and choosing tools, weapons or armour on its slider. It had to be a reproduction of something.

As I've said earlier, this is not some fancy pants medieval English fantasy game. I won't be able to know the attributes of the weapons, tools or armour that I had reproduced. Haish...better sleep first since I have made a new sword and would definitely like to try it out when I have the chance.

The chirping of birds woke me up and I turned about on the ground and find that Matilda had slept near the sides of my tummy and was positioned somewhat near my crotch. She was snoring softly and since I had woken up earlier than her, I decided to tiptoe and went ahead to wash my face and mouth.

I left her sleeping on the ground as I look for a high place to climb and to check out the surroundings, hoping to see a wisp of smoke coming from the chimneys or from open fireplaces.

”Great...! I've got you at last...!” I saw a wisp of white smoke so far away and it came from some houses that looked either from a town, village or even a settlement. I raised my right-hand perpendicular to the ground and raised my thumb. After I had aligned my right hand, I position it just next to the house and because it's far away, it looked just like an inch or 2.5 cm to me.

I closed my left eye and then I switched to my right eye, creating a parallax between the edge of the house to the image that had just jumped to the left. A house of that size would normally be about 10 meters in length and the parallax jumped at least 50 times the length of that house in the distance.

I used an estimate and it would be about 500-800 meters away from where I am standing. Well...we were so close to civilisation that we didn't even realise it. I climbed down from the high ground and I quickly distinguished all the three fires and cleared the traces of it.

I kicked gently at Matilda's foot to wake her up and told her that there is a settlement nearby and we should gather our things and break camp. I picked my axe, pick, sword, bow and quiver and strapped everything on me. I took the blanket that Matilda had used and used it as a shawl to cover myself.

Matilda too had strapped all her equipment on her and we checked around and made sure we didn't miss anything especially the snickers wrapper and the party snack she had consumed earlier. We took a dumpling each and shared another half as we made our way to the settlement ahead.

”Hello, young lads. Welcome...would you like to place an order since it is close to lunchtime already?” a young tavern mistress passed a menu and we both peered at it. ”Could we have a pot of Twinings, please. We would be ordering our food later on. Thank you, Miss.”

The tavern mistress left the menu on the table and entered the tavern.

”Hey...don't you find it weird? The setup of this place is nearly exactly similar to the one we were last night. Did we make a full circle and return where we had come from?”

”I'm not sure how but right now I'm hungry and I want to eat fried rice with salted fish and roasted pork belly.”
