Quenched long order

Chapter 23 Quarrel
Sauer was standing behind a high-end clothing store. The words of the bald old man made him feel the status of a miner. In other words, because the people he had been in contact with were all miners, most of the people in senior positions he encountered were guards who did not speak much.

Whether it was Bill who sent and received the psychic lamp, or the mystic known as Luna, they all showed a certain degree of politeness to the identity of the miner.

Perhaps the attitude of the bald old man is more prevalent on the island.

"So, did I blame Regis yesterday? It's not that he didn't try his best, but he really couldn't do anything?" Sauer frowned slightly, but his opinion of Regis didn't change because of this discovery.

After standing for a while, he noticed that the occasional miners who passed by would look at him. He realized that in his current identity, standing in the shadows and waiting for an opportunity would make him look more suspicious, so he looked around and walked towards the boxing ring.

There are many miners onlookers outside the boxing ring, which can hide his identity even more.

Cheers and boos were mixed together, and it was very noisy. In the boxing ring, two boxers were fighting for this victory. Both of them were extremely cautious in their movements, and they would not punch easily.

Sauer thought of what Regis said. On this island, medical resources are very scarce and very expensive, especially for the miners. It is impossible for boxers who rely on boxing to make a living to give their best in every fight. Suddenly, he thought of the scene of himself and Andrew in the boxing ring yesterday.

A question appeared in his mind, Andrew, the red-haired miner, is it possible that he was polluted yesterday?
He began to recall the few times he had met with Andrew. From yesterday to today, Andrew seemed to be in an unbalanced state. At first, he thought it was just because of Andrew's violent temper. Even though Andrew searched for Sean in the mine today and fell into a decadent state, he just thought that Andrew's violent temper was a kind of protection, and his personality might not be as extreme as it appeared.

What if... what if the pollution had been affecting Andrew until he met Sean?
Thinking of this, Sauer held his breath and looked at the miner beside him who was attracted by the boxing match. For some reason, he felt a chill rising from the soles of his feet.

Is it possible that, in fact, these miners have also been polluted, but they don't know it?

He took a step back subconsciously, away from the crowd, and returned to his previous hiding position.

Not long after, the bald old man left the purple tent and walked straight to the outside of the trading market.

Saul waited for a minute before leaving the hiding place and heading to the purple tent. He opened the curtain, and the mystic was already waiting at the table. When the curtain fell, he asked, "Luna?"

Hearing what Shaoer said, the mystic shook his head slightly, and replied: "To me, Luna is not really a name. Call me Natalie, it will sound familiar to me."

Sauer nodded, put the topic down, and turned to ask a question he was more concerned about, "Who was that person just now?"

"You don't know?" Natalie looked at Saul curiously.

"Should I know him?" Saul asked back. Then, he searched carefully in his mind, but he didn't recall anyone with that strange appearance. He believed that if he had seen it before, he would never forget it.

"Psychic scholar." Natalie announced the answer, and then she picked up the crystal ball on the square table. "I have some academic contacts with him. Just now, he said that the recent wear and tear in the psychic lamp is much higher than before, so please use my spying eyes to find the root cause."

Hearing Natalie's words, Saul's pupils contracted. He waited for two seconds, and seeing that Natalie did not continue, he asked, "Have you found the root cause?"

Natalie shook her head and put her right hand above the crystal ball. Immediately, the green silk thread appeared again. At the same time, her eyes began to shine black. The green silk thread danced in the crystal ball and finally formed a mine cave. Afterwards, the green silk thread seemed to want to go deeper into the mine cave, but eventually broke.

A click.

A crack appeared in the crystal ball.

"I only know that the problem comes from the mine, so my answer is..." Natalie glanced at Saul, her black eyes had returned to normal, "I didn't find the specific root cause, you said... could it be Ni?"

Sauer was startled, but his face was very calm. He frowned slightly and asked in a puzzled tone, "Me? But I didn't do anything."

Natalie smiled, and put the crystal ball back on the square table, "You just said that you want to talk about business, so, what did you find in the mine?" Before Saul could answer, her expression suddenly became serious, and then she stretched out her right hand, "Show me the Nacharu amulet."

Saul took out the amulet and handed it to Natalie.

Natalie saw the pattern on the diamond-shaped talisman. The elk, which was originally agile, had been lying on the ground and turned into a dense bone. Seeing this scene, her face was slightly pale. Then, she raised her head and said in a very serious tone: "Sauer, no matter what you saw or heard when you went down the mine this time, don't miss a single word. Tell me exactly." After she finished speaking, she seemed to remember something, and added, "If you don't want to die here like a bug."

Seeing that the usual lazy and casual mystic was so serious, Shoerben almost fell to the bottom of his heart with a heavy heart. He licked his lips, swallowed his saliva, thought about the words in his mind, and then opened his mouth to tell what happened today, including the part of the gold mine that he planned to hide temporarily.

After listening, Natalie didn't speak for a long time.

"So..." Saul broke the silence, "...does it help you?"

"I don't know yet." Natalie shook her head and put on the robe on her body. "Sauer, don't go into the mine next. I have new news and I will inform you. If you want to survive, follow my instructions."

"Those gold..." Saul asked a question he was most concerned about at the moment.

"You don't seem to understand what I'm saying." There was even a little threat in Natalie's words.

This discovery surprised Shao, but he was not surprised. The danger of the gold mine seemed to be far beyond his expectations.

"You're right." Saul nodded. He glanced at the cracked crystal ball and continued, "The mine is dangerous. I understand what you mean, but have you ever thought that I'm just a poor miner?" He sighed, "You're indifferent because you didn't see the gold." He opened his hands and his eyes became fanatical, "The whole wall is full of pure gold!"

When Natalie heard this, her eyes were filled with disappointment. She turned around, turned her back to Saul, and said in a cold tone: "It seems that you, like those adventurers, will fall into an unconscious frenzy when you see treasures."
