Unspeakable bubbles

"Look!"

"Holy crap, this...this is a ceramic jar?"

Patty stared wide-eyed at the object the little girl was holding in her arms: "It looks really old. Could it be that you dug up an antique, Bubble?"

"Hmm, let me see."

Emma stepped forward and stared at the earthenware jar for a while: "I'm sorry, my knowledge is insufficient, I can't tell what era it's from."

"However...it seems to have some kind of pattern engraved on its surface, but it's too worn."

Emma said with some regret, "If the pattern hadn't been worn away, we might have been able to see something."

"Oh!"

The little girl dropped the pottery jar she was holding and started groping around in the sand with both hands.

"Hey, hey, hey, maybe it's a valuable antique, let me see..."

Petty quickly picked it up: "Phew, thank goodness it didn't break."

"..."

"What's wrong? Everyone's silent and staring blankly?"

"Petti Pete, we've found the bubble!"

"what?"

Petty turned around and saw that just a short while ago, the little girl had touched another pottery jar.

However, compared to the pottery jar in her hand, the pottery jar that Bubble was holding had very clear patterns engraved on its surface.

...............................................................................

"I never expected to have such a great harvest on my first day in the Mahara Desert."

Inside the portable house, everyone was gathered around two earthenware jars, their eyes glued to them.

"They all look like the same type of earthenware jar."

What does the pattern on it mean?

"Is it... a pilgrimage?"

Emma said uncertainly, "Look, the one sitting in the chair, wearing such gorgeous clothes, must be the Queen."

“Those who kneel before her are her subjects.”

"They look so strange."

Xiaoyu couldn't help but say, "The upper body looks like a human, but the lower body looks like a snake."

"Demi-human?"

"Just kidding, demi-humans generally maintain a human form, they wouldn't be half-human and half-beast like this."

Petty stroked his chin: "Maybe it really is some lost prehistoric civilization."

"That's ridiculous."

Mizushima adjusted his glasses: "They're just two ceramic jars. We don't have any experts here who can tell the difference between real and fake."

"Perhaps these two pottery jars are modern artifacts. Some caravan accidentally dropped them into the sand while transporting goods, and it just so happened that Bubble touched them this time."

"Bubble, what do you think?" Takehara looked at the little girl who hadn't said a word but always had a smile on her face.

"We are one step closer to discovering a lost civilization!"

"..."

Okay, that's definitely a very Bubble-like answer.

"That's all for today, everyone."

Emma clapped her hands: "Rest first, get plenty of rest, and then go check the neighborhood for new clues tomorrow."

Goodnight, everyone.

Reiko immediately stood up, looking as if she was about to leave.

"It's so late, where are you going, Reiko?" Emma asked in surprise.

“Tonight I plan to sit outside and meditate, Emma. This is my exercise plan.”

"...Okay, don't force yourself. You can come back to sleep anytime you want."

Section 544, Chapter 543: Sister Beard

"call--"

In the early morning, Reiko Hatta slowly opened her eyes.

Reiko, who had spent the night sitting outside without a bed or blankets, exposed to the cold wind, felt surprisingly good.

Clenching her fist, Reiko clearly felt that her strength was three times greater than yesterday!

"It's very clear, I feel much stronger."

"Last night's meditation...it was so effective!"

Even now, Reiko still finds it hard to believe.

Although she did intend to take advantage of this trip to hone her skills, she, Reiko Hatta, never imagined that a mere night of meditation could achieve such results.

"Could it be that I am actually more gifted than I realize?"

"The harsh environment actually stimulated my potential; that's the only answer."

Shaking her head, Reiko subconsciously touched the black feather stuck in her hair.

"Ha, what are you thinking? It's a good thing that you've become stronger, why are you always so suspicious?"

.................................................................................

"I've dug all over here, have you found anything?"

"no!"

"Forget about antiques, I haven't even touched a single scorpion."

"It's all sand."

No, no.

"He was really too greedy."

Emma sighed inwardly. They had already searched the area where the bubble had come from the pottery jar yesterday.

Although they found nothing at the time, Emma was not giving up and had everyone search for another morning.

"Everyone, that's a wrap."

Emma glanced at the little girl holding two pottery jars: "Bubble, put these two pottery jars in my hat, you don't have to hold them all the time."

"Oh."

Having stood there for a long time and getting a little bored, the little girl immediately handed the two antiques to Emma.

"Emma, ​​should we look for Bubble again?"

"no need."

Emma smiled and handed over a bottle of mineral water: "Everyone searched very carefully, so we didn't waste any time."

"Speaking of which, why were you holding the clay pot the whole time, Bubble?"

There are bugs under the sand.

The little girl pointed to her feet: "They're looking for the pottery jar. If Bubble doesn't keep holding on, everyone will be in danger."

"Ok?"

Emma's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly asked, "Are we safe now? Those bugs...?"

"They've all run away already, it's alright now."

"Phew, that's good."

Emma wiped her forehead: "I wish we could run into a caravan soon. Everyone wants to ride camels."

"A caravan..."

The little girl squinted and gazed into the distance, where a strange woman with a beard was leading a herd of camels toward them.

"One, two, three, four, five..."

"Bubble, what are you counting?" Emma asked curiously.

"Bubble is counting the number of camels. There, someone is coming."

"what?"

Emma quickly looked in the direction the little girl was pointing, but saw nothing.

"Let me see."

Without doubting what the little girl said, Emma took out a telescope from her magician's hat.

"real!"

"There are many camels coming this way."

"what!"

Just as she was feeling happy, Emma noticed through her binoculars that the camel herd had suddenly changed direction.

Why did it suddenly change lanes?

"She spotted us and then turned around."

The little girl felt strange: "So, Sister Beard isn't a businesswoman after all."

"No, we have to catch up!"
