The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

Chapter 552 Mobile Home
During the fruit ripening season, the sap of the Sentinel Coconut Tree is its most valuable asset. However, the Sentinel Coconut Tree is too vigilant; to collect its sap at this time, you have to trick it into revealing all its fruit.

On one tree, there are at least a dozen large black fruits, and you have to chase after them and hit them more than ten times.

That's fine, but there are also many Sailor Vine under the tree.

Sailor vine is extremely resilient. When fresh, it will secretly wrap around the ankles of passersby. After being dried, it is a good material for making ropes. Ropes made from it will never rot.

Moran silently raised the broom handle slightly, making it fly a little higher.

She didn't want to be mistaken for an intruder and smashed by the sentry coconut trees.

The scenery here is nice, but if you want to place a {mobile home card} here, you have to clear away these sentinel coconut trees and sailor vines, which is no small task.

The beach beyond Sentinel Coconut Tree has a nice environment and is quite spacious, but there is a risk of it being flooded at high tide.

Moran continued flying forward.

She wanted to find a place with a wide view, overlooking the sea and the beach, where she wouldn't have to move frequently due to high tide.

Ideally, it should not be too far from Moon Harbor.

After flying for a minute, the sentinel coconut trees thinned out, and the land near the sea was covered by a pink shrub.

Looking at its naturally curved, comb-like branches, Moran recognized its identity—a mermaid comb.

Combing your hair with it will temporarily turn your hair seaweed-colored; it is said that mermaids love to use it to comb their hair.

Although it is born by the sea, it only grows in places where the seawater cannot reach.

If the mermaid wants to pluck its branches, she can only ask for help from creatures on the shore, such as humans.

Among the pink mermaid combs, there grow small blue, shell-shaped flowers, which are Tide-sounding flowers.

Moran suspected that the Tide-Sound Conch Soup in the Mermaid Tavern contained Tide-Sound Flowers, which was why the sound of waves could be heard when one got close.

Pink, leafless shrubs interspersed with small blue, shell-shaped flowers resemble pink coral reefs on the seabed.

This is a view that can only be seen in the Forest of Whispering Tide.

Moran immediately took a liking to this place.

Where the Mermaid Combs are located, the seawater will definitely not flood the area. Place mobile homes among the Mermaid Combs and you won't have to worry about the tide.

It's only a two- or three-minute flight from here to Moon Harbor; the distance isn't far.

The only problem is that outside the Mermaid Bush, there isn't a decent beach.

The ground was covered with dark green moss, which stretched all the way into the sea, and it looked quite beautiful.

"What kind of moss can grow all the way into the sea and be so lush?" Moran felt a little strange and lowered the altitude of the flight.

After getting a closer look at the moss, Moran suddenly realized, "So it's moonshine moss!"

That's normal.

Other mosses prefer damp, dark freshwater environments, but Moonmoss prefers seawater and sunlight.

It is often found in shallow ocean areas and on beaches that are frequently submerged by seawater.

However, it is rare to see one that grows so lush that it becomes a whole meadow of moss.

If it's moonshine moss, Moran thinks it doesn't matter if there's no beach.

On moonlit nights, moonshoe moss emits tiny, shimmering fluorescent lights. Collecting, drying, and grinding this moss into powder allows it to be made into fluorescent pigment. This pigment is particularly striking at night, but like the moonshoe moss itself, it carries the risk of attracting marine monsters.

These flaws were not a problem in Moran's eyes.

She made up her mind; she would stay here.

Not wanting to damage the large clump of Mermaid Comb bushes, she cleared a space inside the bushes.

Inside the bushes was a grove of treasure bamboo.

The bamboo nodes of this species have naturally formed mysterious symbols that, once deciphered, can locate pirate treasure.

Unfortunately, every treasure bamboo has bamboo-eating insects living on it, and 99% of the symbols are made by these insects.

There are some sneezing grass and sea buckthorn in the bamboo forest.

The sea buckthorn berries are alright; as long as you don't eat their orange-yellow berries, you won't have the illusion of flying on the beach.

But the sneezing grass has very fine hairs on its leaves that drift in the wind. If you inhale them, you will sneeze until you jump into the sea, and it is impossible to avoid.

Moran used wind magic to shield herself before daring to land in the bamboo forest. She cleared away the sneezing grass in the bamboo forest near the bushes before starting to clear away the treasure bamboo and drunken sea buckthorn.

After clearing out a suitable open space, she materialized the {mobile home card} that she had prepared beforehand.

Amidst the bamboo grove and pink bushes, a two-story wooden cabin with a yard appeared.

The exterior of the wooden house was made based on the wooden house she lived in when she was a child in Cuixi Plain.

However, the interior layout is different. The cabin in Cuixi Plain was where she lived with her mother, Shana. Now, she lives alone in the cabin, which is designed according to her needs and habits. There is only one bedroom.

The yard outside the log cabin, the balcony of the log cabin, and the flower pots inside the log cabin—everywhere in this mobile home with soil is a planting pot.

The plants inside will grow normally when the {Mobile Residence Card} is manifested, and will stop growing when the {Mobile Residence Card} returns to its card state.

The courtyard wall is a one-meter-high vine wall, which serves only a decorative purpose. The real protection for the courtyard comes from a magic circle that covers the entire house.

Protective magic circle, invisibility magic circle, temperature control magic circle, humidity control magic circle, dust removal magic circle... This {Mobile Home Card} has all the functions of magic circles that can be used to protect a residence, and it's even high-end.

With their protection, this mobile home can hold out for a while unless a super-powerful expert suddenly attacks.

For her first meal in the mobile home, Moran used local ingredients, including oil extracted from the seeds of sea buckthorn berries picked from the treasure bamboo forest and bamboo-eating insects caught while cutting down the treasure bamboo, to make a dish of deep-fried sea buckthorn and bamboo-eating insects.

This is a dish that looks unappetizing, even a bit disgusting, but it is a classic specialty of the Warren coastal region.

It lives up to its reputation; it's a delicacy if you eat it with your eyes closed, but hard to stomach if you eat it with your eyes open.

Even Moran was not immune; she ate it all with her eyes closed.

After lunch, Moran put on the water-repelling gemstone brooch, mounted her flying broom, and went to find the "treasure" in the treasure map from the previous night.

After hearing about the past treasures associated with the shipwreck treasure map, Moran had already given up hope of finding it.

Having just arrived in Moon Harbor, everything seemed new and exciting, and I wanted to try it all.

Since she hadn't been to the seabed of Valencia yet, she took the opportunity of searching for treasure to go and explore it.

All the treasure maps are located in the coastal area.

Moran flew for a short while before arriving at the location shown on the treasure map.

He put away his flying broom and landed in the sea, diving towards the bottom as he searched for the legendary treasure.
