But why eggs and apples?
As Shade sat down in the living room and curiously examined the furnishings and decorations, "she" asked softly again. Shade answered:
"Because I don't have any packaged milk or crates of grain porridge on me."
Outlanders' ideas could sometimes be truly difficult for others to understand.
Although Professor Reinhart was not home, when Mrs. Reinhart heard that Shade wanted to see her husband's research findings on the island, she took some of his books and manuscripts from the study for Shade to look through.
Based on Fatu People legends and stories, the professor had organized Fatu People history into a chronological table. This work had already begun when Miss Reinhart left the island years ago, and it still had not been completed.
Of course, although the work was ongoing, the general framework of the chronology had already been established. All that remained was to continuously fill it with content according to the passage of time.
The chronology began with the "Unknown Ancient Era," which likely referred to the time when the Fatu People migrated here. The latest major event recorded was the Fatumonst Island Earthquake around sixty years ago, also known as the "Starfall Bay" Earthquake.
Shade deliberately searched for records of the Fatu People's worship of "snakes," and sure enough, found some relevant material. Professor Reinhart's research on this matter had been inferred from details in surviving ancient murals and the decorative patterns on remnants of ancient buildings.
Although the professor had been unable to find specific written records, while compiling stories and myths passed down through generations by the locals, he had discovered that many of them involved creatures such as "great serpents" and "two-headed snakes."
As for whether something was buried beneath the Snow Mountain, Professor Reinhart's investigation was also rather vague.
