Chapter 251: Visit

Who was it?

Heath was puzzled. He had just arrived here today, so he should not know anyone.

With doubts in his mind, he blew out the Meditation Candle and left the meditation room.

He had set up a barrier in the meditation room. The elements produced when the Meditation Candle burned could be sealed in the room, so there was basically no loss of elements.

When he came to the outside, Heath opened the door.

He saw three figures standing outside the fence yard. A man and a woman with a little girl around seven or eight years old. Their clothes were very simple. They were obviously civilians in the vicinity.

Heath walked over and asked, “May I help you?”

The man said, “Hello… Uh… I don’t know how to address you yet.”

Heath said, “Heath Noen.”

The man put on a polite smile and briefly introduced himself before explaining his purpose for coming. “Hello, Mr. Noen. We are your neighbors. My name is Anlun. This is my wife, Nona, and this is my daughter, Lily.”

“You probably haven’t prepared anything since you just moved here. Here are some vegetables that we planted and bread that we made ourselves. This is for you.”

Anlun handed over a bamboo basket. Inside the basket were some fresh vegetables and bread.

Heath was a little surprised. It was rare to see such a hospitable couple.

He took the basket and said, “Oh, thank you.”

Seeing that Heath had accepted the gift, the smile on Anlun’s face became even wider. He continued to say warmly, “We are neighbors from now on. If you need any help, feel free to look for us. Don’t be a stranger.”

Heath nodded. “Okay.”

As he spoke, he opened the fence and made a path for him. He invited him, “Come in and have a cup of tea.”

Anlun shook his head and was about to refuse.

However, Heath spoke first. “If I don’t even prepare a cup of tea after accepting someone else’s gift, it’ll make my conscience uneasy.”

After hearing that, Anlun could only swallow the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

“This…”

He exchanged a look with his wife, Nona, and then nodded. “Then, sorry to disturb you.”

The three of them walked into the courtyard.

Once they entered, the three of them looked surprised. They kept looking around the small courtyard, looking very puzzled.

After all, the abandoned lighthouse had been idle for several years. The abandoned courtyard was overgrown with weeds, and many ghost stories had been born from it. It was a well-known place for ghosts in the vicinity.

Previously, Anlun had wanted to reject Heath’s invitation because he was worried that Heath’s house had not been cleaned yet. He was worried that if they went in now, Heath would feel embarrassed.

However, the small courtyard was now clean and tidy. It was like the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant.

After entering the small wooden house in front, their eyes looked as if they had seen a ghost. There were no signs of dilapidation in it. It was as if it had just been repaired.

Seeing that the three of them had strange expressions, Heath could not help but ask, “What’s wrong?”

Anlun said, “This… This seems to be different from the small house that we usually see…”

Heath explained simply, “Is that so? I cleaned it up this afternoon.”

Was that so?

Although they were a little puzzled, Anlun and the others did not take it to heart. They just treated it as if they did not pay much attention to it. The small house was not as shabby as they had imagined.

Sitting down in front of the wooden table, Heath took out a cup from the cabinet and poured a cup of tea for the three of them.

The tea was the Soul-Washing Water that Heath often drank. It was mixed with some Flower Elf Honey, and it tasted a little like ordinary honey water. It could cleanse the soul and recover part of spiritual power, and for ordinary people, it had the effect of strengthening the body and prolonging life.

Such a cup of Soul-Washing Water was absolutely priceless in the secular world. The nobles were willing to pay gold coins, manors, and even castles for it.

However, what caught the attention of Anlun and the other two was the teacup filled with water.

The little girl looked at the beautiful oil-colored patterns on the cup and was extremely surprised. “Oh my! Dad, Look, is this a ceramic cup? This must be a ceramic cup, right?”

She asked Heath, “Uncle, Uncle, are you a noble? You must be a noble, right?”

The Anlun’s expressions also became restrained and nervous.

In this world, ordinary people basically did not have decent tableware in their homes. The pots and pans were basically made of oak. Only an aristocrat could afford such exquisite porcelain.

Originally, they only treated Heath as an ordinary neighbor, which was why they came to visit enthusiastically. Now, it seemed that the gifts they sent were really embarrassing.

Both of them could not help but blush.

Heath touched the little girl’s pink cheeks and explained, “No, Uncle is just a scholar.”

Anlun and Nona were stunned.

Anlun asked, “A… scholar? Mr. Noen, did you say that you are a scholar? Are you a scholar from the City of Knowledge?”

Heath shook his head. “No, just an ordinary scholar.”

Hearing that, the Anlun and Nona heaved a sigh of relief.

Although a scholar was still a noble existence compared to an ordinary person, the difference between them and an aristocrat was much smaller. In particular, most scholars without the title of a scholar could be understood as ‘knowledgeable ordinary people’.

The little girl, Lily’s, eyes lit up and suddenly asked, “Scholar? Uncle Heath, then you must be literate, right?”

Nona stroked her daughter’s hair and laughed, “Since Mr. Noen is a scholar, of course he can read.”

Lily said happily, “Ah, that’s great. Uncle Heath, can you teach me how to read?”

The Anlun couple could not help but feel a little awkward.

Reading and reading were very expensive. How could they afford the expense?

Anlun quickly said, “Mr. Noen, please don’t mind. Lily is not sensible.”

Heath smiled and said, “It’s okay.”

He raised his hand to touch Lily’s face and asked, “Why do you want to read?”

Lily answered honestly, “I heard from others that as long as you can read, you can earn a lot of money. That way, my father won’t have to work hard at the dock and can buy my mother a beautiful dress.”

Heath laughed and said, “Oh, it seems that little Lily is really a sensible little girl.”

Lily’s eyes lit up and said, “Then… then can I? Can you teach me to read, Uncle Heath?”

Heath nodded and said, “Of course.”

Seeing that Anlun and Nona exchanged looks, they could only bite the bullet and ask, “Then… Mr. Noen, this fee…”

Heath raised his hand and pointed at the basket of vegetables. “It’s already been paid.”

Anlun was shocked. “How can that be?”

Heath shook his head. “It doesn’t matter. I don’t have anything to do here. I have nothing to do, so I can find something to do for myself.”

The purpose of staying here was to experience life in order to comprehend some rules from it.

After a pause, Heath continued, “We are all neighbors, and it is our duty to help each other. Don’t take it to heart.”
