Chapter 1724 An Ancestor From The Flame Holy Land (1/2)

In the silence, three elders from the Flame Holy Land appeared on the eighth floor of the Slave Tower. They looked around and when they saw Austin, their faces lit up with surprise and worry.

”Holy Heritor, are you all right?” one of the elders asked.

Austin sighed in relief but that didn't stop the elders from hurrying to surround him. One of them even checked Austin for wounds.

”I'm fine. Thank you for your concern,” Austin said, smiling.

It was moving to think that the elders had rushed to help him once they had found out his was trapped there. However, he wasn't the one who needed help most. Austin led the elders to the old man on the ground.

”This elder is not doing well. He is a part of our Flame Holy Land and has been since ancient times.

He's been sealed in the Northern Mine District for a long time and has just come back to life but he's not responding,” Austin added as he looked at the old man who was sitting on the ground.

It seemed that none of the elders had noticed his presence.

They looked at the old man with open jaws. He looked like a corpse.

The three elders felt that something was going on with the old man.

The old man's eyes were empty and staring straight ahead. It looked like he was caught in an old memory and couldn't snap out of it.

”What happened to this elder?”

asked Elder Brendan, pointing at him.

”I don't know exactly. He came back to life and then sat down and hasn't moved since. It freaked me out. The only reason I can think of is that he hasn't adapted to the environment yet.

It might help if we left him alone for a while and see if he comes to on his own,”

Austin explained, gazing sympathetically at the old man.

”We get it, brat. You don't have to explain it to us. It's obvious that this old man has been sealed for too long.

Over time, his life energy has drained out of him—like water dripping slowly from a bucket with a hole in the bottom.

That means that even though he is alive again, he is not conscious. His remaining life energy is not strong or plentiful enough to jolt his body awake.

He needs a long time to recover and regain his energy.

However, I know a way that we can help him now. There is a way to give him a large amount of energy that he can absorb.

It will give him a chance to recover in a short span of time,” Earth Hermit said to Austin.

Austin could see the idea lighting up in his eyes like a spark and he felt hope surge in him too.
