Chapter 4
"Mr. Wellington..." Garland immediately changed his address. Although he looked like a giant in front of Bill, he was the one nodding and bowing at this time, "...I can explain that this afternoon, Saul and I..." Garland turned to glance at Saul, and then continued to say to Bill: "We were mining together. For some reason, the psychic light suddenly went out. I don't know what happened. Fortunately, Saul was by my side, otherwise I might not be able to come back."

His eyes were full of pleading.

Saul nodded again and again, but he didn't speak. Now, it is obviously more appropriate to listen to Garland's arrangements.

Bill raised his hands and helped his red top hat. He looked at Garland and Saul with vigilance in his eyes, as if he didn't believe what Garland said just now, "Ahem, Garland, maybe what you said is true, but it may not be. According to the regulations, I must report this matter." After finishing speaking, he looked at Saul, "Saul, please put the psychic lamp in, this matter has nothing to do with you."

Garland glanced back at Saul and nodded slightly.

Saul didn't say much, and put the spirit lamp that was still on in his hand into the iron box.

Seeing this, Bill scratched the parchment with his fat and short right hand, and muttered, "45... well, Saul, please leave first, I still have something to tell Garland, I hope he will be more honest."

Saul glanced back at Garland, his eyes fell on Garland's sad sapphire eyes, who shook his head slightly, as if to tell him not to cause trouble.

"You go first and find Regis." Garland handed the pickaxe to Saul.

Regis?
Shaoer remembered the name. After he took the pickaxe, he turned and walked towards the miners. He couldn't stay longer. As he walked, he felt a familiar feeling. It seemed that he had walked this road countless times.

He followed his feeling and walked forward until he came to a puddle, where he stopped and turned to look at the reflection in the water.

On the water, a dirty young man was also staring at him, his eyes full of scrutiny, as if seeing this face for the first time.

He squatted down and put the pickaxe aside. Then, he gently washed away the dirt on his face with water, first the full forehead, then the straight bridge of the nose. Finally, he picked up the water in the puddle with both hands, and quickly wiped his cheeks and sharp chin together. After simple cleaning, the youth on the water surface was much cleaner and full of vigor, but there was a calmness in his eyes that did not belong to this age.

"Saul."

Sauer read the name lightly, and matched the name with himself in his eyes. Then, he stood up, ran a few steps, and followed the miners in front of him.

Soon, sentry posts appeared on both sides of the road. On the sentry tower stood a sentry wearing half body armor. The sentry held a sharp spear in his hand. Beside the sentry post, there were several heavily armed guards. The guards looked at every miner who passed the sentry post with sharp eyes.

After passing the sentry post, he walked for a while. After that, the number of miners walking down the mine gradually decreased. Sauer also left the main force and walked towards the familiar path. Although he had never walked this path before, his body told him that from here, he could return to his residence and find the person named Regis.

Sure enough, after walking for less than 5 minutes, a row of wooden row houses appeared in front of them, a total of four. In front of the row houses, there were many undried clothes. Judging from the size and style of the clothes, it can be determined that the owners of the clothes are all men.

Sauer went straight into the second wooden house, he pushed the door open, and a simple room appeared in front of him, a wooden bed occupying nearly half of the space in the wooden house, and beside the wooden bed was a cabinet with an iron lock. With these two pieces of furniture alone, there was not much room for walking in the wooden house.Although the room was very cramped, the thought of living in a single room in such an environment made him feel lucky.

"Sauer?" A sharper voice came from the side.

Saul turned his head and saw a man with a hooked nose looking at him suspiciously.

"Where's Garland? He's not with you? He went to the street?" The hooked-nosed man looked at the pickaxe in Sauer's hand, with an even more puzzled expression on his face, "Isn't this Garland's pickaxe?"

"Reggis, what's the matter?" The boy's voice came from the other side.

Regis?
Saul looked at the man with the hooked nose, his eyes lit up, and then he turned his head to look in the direction of the boy, and what caught his eyes was a handsome boy with blond hair.

"Kerry, this is Garland's pickaxe, right? I remember losing it once before, and Garland doesn't like to let others help." Regis pointed to the pickaxe in Sauer's hand.

Saul knew that he couldn't stay silent any longer. He put the pickaxe on the ground, let out a long sigh, and then said in a worried tone: "Galan...he's in some trouble." As he spoke, his gaze stayed on Regis, "His radiance lamp went out."

"What?!" Regis and Kerry shouted almost simultaneously.

Shaoer didn't tell the truth. He is not familiar with it now, so there is no need to make the situation more complicated. Therefore, he chose to cheat together. At present, it is more important to get through the difficulties in front of him first.

He looked at Regis, and the hook-nosed man in front of him had shrewd eyes, "Garland asked me to come to you, and he said you might have a way."

"What can I do?" Regis retorted without any hesitation. Suddenly, he realized something, "Wait, Garland asked you to come to me? So, he is fine?"

Hearing this question, Kerry behind Regis was also very nervous, his thin lips were tightly pursed, and his face was sad.

"He's fine. He was by my side when the brilliance light went out. However, Bill insisted on reporting the matter no matter how we explained it. I was worried that something might go wrong." Saul kept observing Regis while speaking. In order to ensure the credibility of his words, he didn't blink. It seemed that at this moment, even he himself believed his own explanation. He realized that he was very talented in deception.

"Reggis, we have to help Garland. Even if Garland is fine, it will take at least a week for him to come back." Kerry's voice sounded like he was about to cry.

Saul noticed that there were indeed tears in Kerry's eyes.

Regis leaned back on the pillar, looked at the green road not far away, fell into deep thought, raised his right hand, touched the hooked nose, slowly put his index finger on the nostril, and stretched it into the nostril to dig. Then, he put down his right hand, turned his head and said to Sauer: "Let's go to the street quickly, yes, bring more money." After finishing speaking, he turned and walked towards his room, muttering, "Garangalan... to save you, we leave The time of this island has to be pushed back a few months..."
