Zhao Hai stood at the bare foot of the hill and turned to look at the lush mountains around him. He could not help but smile bitterly in his heart.

When he first heard Grimm’s explanation, he felt that it was strange. A mountain and a Manor would only cost a hundred gold coins. Wasn’t that a little too cheap? However, when he reached the foot of the mountain, he finally understood why the mountain was so cheap. It was indeed because there was nothing good in it.

This mountain really proved the saying,”one look at it.” Even if you really looked with one eye, you would know what was going on with the mountain.

There were no other specialties on this mountain. If there was really something special, it was stones. Green stones could be seen everywhere. From a distance, weeds could be seen passing through the cracks of the stones. On the top of the mountain, there was a small Manor. The outer wall was also made of green stones. The whole mountain gave people the feeling that it was like a favus wearing a small hat on its head, revealing half of its scalp and a few strands of hair left. It was very awkward.

Standing beside Zhao Hai, Ge Lin naturally saw Zhao Hai’s expression. He couldn’t help but blush. He also knew that this mountain was out of shape, but he had no choice. The housing and land prices near Casa City were higher than other places, and they didn’t have much money on hand. Only this mountain was suitable for them.

Green knew that Zhao Hai wasn’t satisfied, so he quickly said, ” &Quot; young master, although this mountain doesn’t look like much, the manor isn’t small either. There are roads from the foot of the mountain to the manor, making it easy to walk. There’s also a hot spring in the manor, so it’s quite nice to take a bath in it. &Quot;

Zhao Hai understood that green was afraid that he would look down on the mountain and the manor. Zhao Hai smiled and said,”It’s fine. This place is pretty good. It’s a place like this where no one will want it and it’s safer. If there’s any treasure on this mountain, I really don’t dare to buy it. It’s a crime to have a Jade.”

Gelin nodded his head. To be honest, when he first bought this courtyard, he did not think too much about it. He only felt that it was cheap here and it was not far from Kass city. However, it was good that Zhao Hai thought this way. He did not have to worry about Zhao Hai being dissatisfied with this place.

Merlin and meg also stood beside Zhao Hai. To be honest, even the two of them were not satisfied with the mountain, let alone Zhao Hai.

Zhao Hai didn’t mind. He turned around and went back into the room inside the alien’s body. He directed the alien up the mountain. He really wanted to see what was in the manor.

As Grimm had said, the only advantage of this Stone Mountain was that there was a Stone Road from the corner of the mountain to the manor at the top of the mountain. This Stone Road was obviously not paved with stones, but made with some natural stones. It was five meters wide. The person who built this road was very smart. He chose the least undulating place on the stone Mountain, so he did not have to cut too many stones. He just had to clear some particularly high stones. It was enough.

However, Zhao Hai found the road a little strange. Although he had lived in the plains of northern China and had never seen any mountains, he was very clear that the road on the mountain was not built directly to the top of the mountain. It was usually a winding mountain road.

The so-called winding mountain road was a road built from the corner of the mountain. Although it was much longer than a straight road up the mountain, the slope became gentler because the road had become a winding one, which was more conducive to the movement of vehicles.

However, the path that Zhao Hai and the others were on led straight to the top of the mountain. It was inevitable. The slope was very steep. According to Zhao Hai’s calculations, if it was on earth, it would not be easy to climb up the mountain with a carriage. It would be difficult for the horse to even pull an empty carriage up the mountain.

But Zhao Hai did not say anything. He had also noticed that there were traces of vehicles on the road, which meant that the road was usable. Zhao Hai also understood that the situation on the ark continent could not be judged by the situation on earth, so he did not say anything. He just carried the alien up the mountain.

Soon, they arrived in front of the manor. There was nothing written on the manor. The three-meter-high bluestone wall was very tall and strong. The paint on the tall wooden door had fallen off a lot. It looked a little old, but it still gave people a sense of sturdiness. There was some moss on the stones of the wall. It seemed that no one had taken care of this place for a long time.

Zhao Hai and the others got down from the Xenomorph and walked to the wooden door. The door was two meters tall and five meters wide. It was divided into two parts and was made of thick wooden boards. The top was tied with iron bars. Although the paint on the top had fallen off, the original color of the wooden boards inside could be seen. It looked very old.

Grimm stepped forward and pushed the wooden door open with all his might. With a squeaking sound of friction, the wooden door was slowly pushed open.

As soon as the gate was pushed open, Zhao Hai and the others were dazzled. It was not that the scenery in the courtyard was good, but it was very large, no less than the small square in the inner castle of Iron Mountain castle.

Such a large square was enough to build a small castle, but it was a little too big for this Manor.

After passing the square, there was a row of houses. There were about four houses in total, but none of them seemed to be for living. Each room was made of wood and stone. There was a two-meter wide double door and a two-meter long window that was more than a meter wide. The roof was flat and seemed to be paved with stone slabs. It seemed that these four houses were used as living rooms or places for receiving outsiders.

Although these houses were a little shabby, with traces of rain on the walls, the paint on the windows and doors had fallen off, and many places had cracked, it was still acceptable for people who wanted to live in them.

Zhao Hai looked at the houses and was quite satisfied. The manor did not look good, but it didn’t matter. Almost all the buildings here were built with bluestone as the main material. They were very strong. Although there were few people who took care of them, it was already amazing that they hadn’t suffered much damage after so many years of wind and rain.

They entered the house and found that the rooms were empty. There was not a single piece of furniture inside. However, the room was still considered spacious. It would not be a problem to live in it as long as it was tidied up.

After passing through the row of houses, they found a large well-shaped courtyard. In the middle of the courtyard was a big tree. The leaves of the tree looked like ginkgo trees and it was very tall. Zhao Hai had no idea what kind of tree it was.

On both sides of the row of houses where Zhao Hai and the others were, there were two doors that led to the outside. Other than the house that Zhao Hai and the others were in, the other three sides of the well were also filled with houses. This house looked similar to the house that Zhao Hai and the others were in. They were all made of bluestone and had a stone roof. As the place was large, the light in the well was not too dark.

There was a small ditch in front of the house. Water was flowing in the ditch. What surprised Zhao Hai the most was that he could see a few small fish in the water from time to time.

The well, the tree, the water, and the goldfish were all well arranged. If the architecture here was an ancient China style building, it would have the style of an old Beijing siheyuan.

It was just spring, and the big tree had just sprouted. The Green Village, the flowing water, and the small fish added a touch of vitality to this old courtyard, which made people feel relaxed.

Zhao Hai nodded his head in satisfaction and turned to Grimm, ” “Grandpa Grimm, the environment here is really good. Where did this water come from? I think it’s quite cold in winter here, right? It’s not that deep, but the fish didn’t freeze to death?”

Without waiting for Grimm to speak, Merlin smiled and said, ” “Young master, I think this water must be from a hot spring. The temperature of the water is not low. You may not know this fish, but I do. This fish is called huoding, a tropical fire-attribute fish. It’s strange to say that ordinary fish are water-attribute, but this fish is fire-attribute, and it can only survive in warm water. If the water temperature is too low, it will freeze to death. The average fish is less than 10 centimeters, but this fish is a rare delicacy. It’s delicious, the meat is delicate, smooth, and delicious. I heard that even the king will use this fish to entertain foreign guests. It’s a first-class dish.”

Zhao Hai was stunned. He had not expected such fish to exist. He squatted down and put his hand into the ditch. As expected, the water was warm, and it was a little hot. It looked like the temperature was definitely not lower than 30 degrees. It was amazing that these fish could survive in such a temperature and still live freely.

Zhao Hai wanted to catch one when he saw the little fish swimming so leisurely. However, the little fish was surprisingly agile in the water. With a flick of its tail, it escaped from Zhao Hai’s claws.

Zhao Hai stopped catching fish and stood up. He looked around the house and said, ” &Quot; good, it seems that we can rear more of these small fish here in the future. I’ll release a few undead creatures to keep watch on the hill later. Also, let the slaves out to get some fresh air. They must be suffocated after staying in the boundless space for so many days. &Quot;

&Quot; yes, ” Grimm said with a smile, ” let them come out and fix this place. Oh, I’ve seen the stones on this mountain. They’re very hard and are good materials for making various stone tools. Young master, didn’t you want to make millstones and millstones in the past? ” Wasn’t this a good opportunity? There’s nothing else on this mountain, but there’s plenty of stones.”

Zhao Hai nodded and laughed, ” &Quot; Grandpa Green, it seems like we really found a treasure this time. There’s a hot spring here, so we can raise more cuttlefish and make some things we need with stones. Hahaha, we’ll have a lot of money left. &Quot;
