Oh, this one has lots of dried seeds, it seems." Tam and Levin was saying out loud when opening the barrels and crates.

They were what you would expect from a simple village something to secure the next harvest if it would be spoiled and something you could eat when no food available.

"We cannot even sell the tools as they are rusty and probably one swing, and they would be broken," Levin said while looking at the tools.

"So nothing useful in these; it seems oh well we cannot always be lucky," Jaana said while grooming Elvire's dirty hair.

"Yeah, it seems so, but we have one crate left let's see what does it have then," Levin said while opening the crate, but in this time, there was something that has probably been clothes at some point.

"Yeah, no luck with this one either; it seems just some old clothes that have seen their best days already a long time ago," Levin said while going through the items in the crate.

"Oh well, Tam, you can also come back here; let's eat and rest for a moment before we will get back to traveling," Jaana said while setting up a simple meal with Elvire.

Tam, who was bringing the spoiled food outside that the rodents wouldn't come to the church, agreed to this one.

"Yeah, I guess this church is a safe place now, and we could use it to rest at least till morning as we don't know how close the next village is." Suddenly Tam felt something, and he turned around and looked the person behind him.

"Na ja iem to re som?" The person was supposedly asking something from Tam while making gestures with its hands.

The person had a hooded cape that was covering its whole body, making it hard to see the gender or how the person looked like.

"Na om iel to re som?" The person asked again while pointing towards the barrels where the spoiled food was.

Tam shook his head and said.

"Bad not good for you, not eatable." While pointing to his mouth and making a puking gesture.

The person seemed to be sad and turned around before Tam said.

"Wait here for a moment." While pointing the person then to the floor, after that, he pointed towards the doors and tried to show that he will be back.

He didn't know if the person did understand it, but at least it was staying at the doors seemingly curious about Tam.

Tam went inside the church, and when Jaana saw him, she asked.

"Who you were speaking with as we heard some noise?" While looking at Tam.

"I don't know who it is as it's a language I have never heard before and the whole body is covered with a hood and a cape, but it seemingly is hungry as I think it was asking can I give the spoiled food for it," Tam said while taking the serving that was waiting for him to his hands.

There was a simple soup with vegetables and meat and some bread and a gla.s.s of water.

"I will give my serving to it as I can lent for a day as it's not always that you see people like that outside who try and are honest," Tam said, and Jaana said.

"Wait a moment, Tam, if you are willing to do that as our food isn't ending yet, I will make something extra." And she started to sort the spatial bag, and after a minute she gave it to Tam.

"There is some dry food, fruits, water, and bread inside, but remember they are off from your dinner." While smiling at Tam and giggling after seeing his face.

"Just go now and don't let your new friend to wait." She said after that.

Tam went outside, and the person was still there seemingly; it did understand what Tam had said and when it saw the food that Tam was carrying, it said.

"Ka ma le en lo ko te?" While pointing at itself and the food before shaking its head.

"Here, just take them I will leave these here, and you can choose either to take or leave them," Tam said while placing the food on the stairs of the church while pointing the food and the person before walking away.

But he was sure that he had heard some sniffing from behind him and after a moment he walked outside again and saw that there was no food left to the stairs and there was a single s.h.i.+ning green gem.

"I guess I solved our money problems for now." He said while walking towards Jaana before tossing the gem to her, who surprised by this action still managed to catch the gem.

"Is this an emerald and not a small one?" She asked out puzzled by the sudden action.

"Yes, it seems, so my new friend left it as a payment of the food," Tam said while sitting down near the small fire they had made inside the church.
