432 I Dont Think Theyre Human (1/2)

Light filled up the view before him, not the stark white glow of the Illumination, but that of natural sunlight.

When Roland subconsciously looked up, he saw blue sky and white clouds.

Wasn't he underground?

How come… Roland's attention was then drawn to the sounds in front of him, and he saw a group of people in front of him, gesturing around the well he had just been in.

What they said, Roland couldn't understand, so he instinctively set himself up with Unhindered Communication.

”This isn't good, the water in the Well of Light is decreasing. If this continues, it will definitely dry up.”

”Does anyone know what's going on?”

”I guess the Goddess of Light has given up on us.”

”What should we do?”

”Sacrificial offerings, offer up virgin boys and girls.”

”Idiot, the Goddess of Light is a goddess of virtuous deity, how could she possibly accept human sacrifices?”

Roland listened to their rambling from the rear.

At this moment, Betta and the others quietly came around, and Roland set each of them up with Unhindered Communication.

Although Betta knew Language Proficiency, Roland's Unhindered Communication was much more practical, not only allowing the understanding of spoken language but also words.

Roland had just applied his magic to his friends before a middle-aged bearded man spotted them.

Because their attire was clearly different from that the people here, the man who spotted them wore a strange expression.

Then he walked up to them.

”You guys… are foreigners?”

Roland once read about the ancient era. Because this world didn't thoroughly develop historical records, so much of the history could only be verbally relayed, and this relaying changed the context and details to the extent that it was eventually lost.

This was why all content about the ancient kingdom were all based on speculation from some excavated ruins.

For example, the ancient kingdom was the predecessor of Hollevin, a country that was once quite powerful and had a much larger territory than the current kingdom of Hollevin, and the structure of its political system was similar.

The kingdom's downfall and disappearance seemed to be because of man-made disasters.

However, this was only speculation.

Roland reacted quickly. He nodded his head and said, ”Yes, we heard that there is Water of Light here and wanted to come over and catch a glimpse.”

”How did you guys get in here?” The man was a little surprised. ”I remember there were guards down there….”

The eyes of Betta and the others immediately sharpened, already prepared for battle.

The man froze and was about to pull away, but he immediately felt that there were some familiar, round metal objects in his hand.

And then he understood immediately.

His expression became enthusiastic. ”Hahaha, I understand, and now we're friends too.”

After releasing Roland's hands, he flipped his palm and put two gold coins into his pocket at a very fast speed, then he wrapped his arm around Roland's shoulder. ”Not bad, you're a good friend. Come, let me introduce you to this Water of Light.”

As he spoke, he led Roland to the well.

This group of people watching the well were all dressed quite well, looking quite wealthy and respectable. Beside the well, there were a dozen or so armored soldiers who seemed to be the guards of the Well of Light.

These guards were all level ten and above, and one was even level 13.

These men reacted as soon as Roland's gaze fell upon them.

Roland had to withdraw his gaze.

Toward Roland's group of people who suddenly appeared, many of them leveled curious gazes, but seeing Roland shoulder-to-shoulder with this bearded man, quite familiar with each other, they were all just curious and didn't say anything more.

Roland looked into the Well of Light and found that it held a transparent liquid, and the most miraculous thing about it was that it glowed and was overflowing with large amounts of light element.

This was probably what was known as Tears of Light.

Even if he was not a follower of the Goddess of Light or a priest, Roland could sense that these Tears of Light contained an exaggerated amount of light element.

But Roland then realized that there weren't many Tears of Light left, and the water level was now almost about one-fifth of the height of the well.

It seemed that the Water of Light was drying up, and these people were currently discussing how they should save it.

Looking at Roland staring blankly at the Tears of Light, the bearded man smiled proudly. ”Awesome isn't it? This is the miracle of our Reguman City, the Tears of Light. Countless people want to come and taste a sip, but unfortunately, ordinary people can only strengthen their bodies and cure some diseases with it—only the Saint Samurai of the Goddess of Light will increase drastically in their talents after drinking the Tears of Light.”

”I'm here for the Water of Light, can I take some back with me?” asked Roland.
