Quenched long order

Chapter 32 Different Ways

Saul followed Garland into the mine. After entering, he glanced back and found that the psychic scholar and two sword guards behind him followed, but kept a certain distance.

In order to prevent suspicion, he didn't dare to look further, so he immediately turned his head back and looked deep into the mine.

With only the light of the psychic lamp remaining in the mine, an indescribable feeling of oppression welled up in his heart. Shaoer knew that not only him, but all the people staying in the mine felt this way.

"Hurry up, why, do you want to stay until midnight?"

Suddenly, the spirit stone scholar urged, and the voice kept echoing in the mine.

Sauer didn't answer, but quickened his pace, and so did Garland in front. In this way, the footsteps of the three people behind became clearer.

He looked at Garland's broad back and thought about the current situation.

Usually it is said to take one step and look at three steps. Considering the subsequent impact, just killing the psychic scholar will not solve my problem, but will cause even bigger troubles.

Given the position of the miners on Stewart Island, the two miners brought the psychic scholar and two guards down to the mine. If only two miners came back, no matter whether they were related to the miners or not, they would be interrogated severely. Therefore, in order to protect themselves, the psychic scholar must die, but his death must be seen by a guard who attributed his death to the pollution of the mine, and left the mine with this testimony to testify for Garland and me.

Judging from the appearance of the psychic stone scholar, he doesn't go to the mine often, but he must have been in the mine before. Although he doesn't know much about the mine, he also knows some basic common sense. He probably won't easily leave the protection of the guards, so ordinary pollution probably has little effect on him.

It seems that he can only go to the gold mine to try.

Thinking of this, Sauer quickened his pace and caught up with Garland until he walked side by side with Garland. Then, he turned his head to look at Garland, and pointed at himself with his left index finger calmly.

After seeing it, Garland thought for a while, then nodded slightly to express his understanding.

After seeing Garland nodding, Saul stepped forward and led the way.

"Slow down." Seeing this, the guard behind shouted.

Sauer slowed down, turned his head, and saw the spirit stone scholar behind him panting. Obviously, he couldn't keep up with the miner's footsteps. However, his eyes fell on the spirit stone scholar's hand. Perhaps it might not be because the spirit stone scholar was physically weak, or it might be because he had too many things on his body.

"No...it's nothing..." The spirit stone scholar replied while panting, "We must hurry up, there are still many things to do."

"Why don't we take it." The guard looked at the psychic scholar's backpack and the object in his hand.

The spirit stone scholar shook his head without hesitation, and explained: "This is a very critical relic, and it cannot be handed over to others at will, otherwise the effect may be affected."

Seeing what the spirit stone scholar said, the guard stopped asking.

Although Sauer and Garland didn't answer, they still slowed down a little bit so that the spirit stone scholars could keep up. Even if they are humble, as long as they want to survive on this island, the most basic ability to perceive words and emotions is still necessary.

It didn't take long for Sauer to bring the psychic scholar to the depths of the mine to hide the entrance of the passage. Of course, he didn't go in directly.

"It's here." Garland added, "When my psychic light went out."

"I was with him at the time." In order to prevent suspicion, Sauer quickly followed up.

The spirit stone scholar looked around, frowned, and ignored their words. He put his backpack on the ground, squatted down, and took out a square spirit stone from the backpack. Then, he looked up at Saul and said, "Come here and take it." He stretched out his right hand and handed out the spirit stone.

Saul swallowed his saliva, glanced at Garland, then walked forward, and slowly reached out to take the spirit stone. After the spirit stone was in his hand, there was a warmth in his palm, which dispelled a lot of the coldness in the mine.

"Walk around here." The psychic stone scholar stood up and stared at Saul.

Sauer nodded slightly, and walked slowly along the rock wall. As he gradually approached the hidden passage, the spirit stone in his hand became brighter and brighter. The warm yellow light tended to turn into white light. He walked all the way to the hidden passage in the corner. At this time, the spirit stone in his hand was already close to white, but he did not stop, but continued to move forward. As he gradually moved away from the hidden passage in the corner, the spirit stone in his hand seemed to gradually turn back to warmer yellow.

"Wait." The psychic stone scholar stopped Saul, "Stand back a little."

Saul backed away slowly.

"Continue." The spirit stone scholar urged.

Sauer retreats to the corner to hide the passage position.

"Stop." The psychic stone scholar yelled, then stepped forward and came to Sauer's side. He looked carefully at the corner, but for more than ten seconds, he couldn't see anything. Then, he simply walked up and groped on the rock wall with his hands. Seeing this scene, two guards quickly followed up, separating Sauer from the psychic stone scholar.

"Haha!" The spirit stone scholar laughed twice, "There is indeed a way here."

After hearing this, a guard stepped forward and stood beside the spiritstone scholar. He looked at the size of the hidden passage and asked, "Scholar, do you still want to go in? The inside is too narrow. If we encounter danger, we may not have time to protect you. Why don't we let these two miners explore the way first."

After Saul heard it, he took a step back with a look of embarrassment on his face.

Garland waited silently without saying a word.

The Linghui stone scholar noticed the performance of the two of them. He reached out and touched half of his beard, looked at the entrance of the hidden passage and thought for a while, and then asked:
"Do you know there is still a way here?"

His tone carried the arrogance of a superior.

Saul and Garland shook their heads almost simultaneously.

"Do you know what the light of the spirit stone means?" The spirit stone scholar continued to ask, but there was no doubt in his tone, and no expectation in his eyes. It seemed that he didn't expect to get the correct answer from the two of them. His question was more like a self-presentation.

The two still shook their heads.

"Usually, the light of the psychic lamp is this color." The psychic scholar pointed to the psychic lamp far away from the hidden passage. "Once the psychic lamp is exposed to high concentrations of pollution, it will turn into this color." Then, he pointed with his right hand to the psychic stone that he handed to Sauer before. "It is close to white. However, the one in your hand has been adjusted many times by me, and it is more sensitive than the psychic lamp in your hands, so I can check the change of pollution concentration here."

That's how it is... According to Natalie, the psychic scholar should study alchemy...

Shaoer thought of what Garland said before, if he could fix the psychic lamp, he would not stay in the mine. At this moment, he finally understood the meaning.

The lamp is more like a product of a phantom scholar, rather than a purely natural creation. For a miner, it may be just lighting and protection, but in fact, there may be more other functions that just need to be adjusted.
