Elemental Light Mage

Chapter 448: Sharing Confidence

The children looked at each other and no one stepped forward to answer Xi Yeming's question.

"Are you too young to notice?"

This question might not get an answer, so Xi Yeming had no choice but to give up.

But things often turn around.

"Is there no water in that well?"

One of the children said so.

"What did you say?"

"There is a dry well in the courtyard outside the ancestral hall. It has been there for a long time. We never draw water from it to drink."

This sentence made Xi Yeming recall what was so strange about the roots of the banyan tree. No wonder those roots did not grow densely towards the well. It turned out to be a dry well.

In this case, why should we clean a dry well so thoroughly?

Xi Yeming originally wanted to go back and check the dry well again, but the children asked him clamorously if he had any candy.

Having answered Xi Yeming's question, I naturally cannot go back on my word.

"Of course, these are my gifts to you. Just take your rewards."

A lot of candies were thrown out, and the children swarmed to grab those delicacies, so Xi Yeming had the opportunity to escape.

When he stood next to the dry well again, his eyes involuntarily looked towards the bottom of the well again.

I still can't see anything, I can't see clearly.

Xi Yeming recalled the two statues, and he felt something unusual again.

Stepping into the ancestral hall, he once again fixed his eyes on the statue, and this time he finally discovered something wrong.

The index finger and middle finger of one of the statues were pointing in the direction of the dry well!

Various clues indicated that the dry well was not simple. Xi Yeming returned to the dry well again. He casually picked up a banyan leaf, froze it into a block and threw it into the dry well.

After a few seconds, an echo like the sound of crystal shattering came from the dry well.

It was not the sound of something breaking, but the sound of a magical reaction causing a change in properties.

It seems there is something fishy going on.

"Light Magic: Glitter."

A ball of light formed from his hand and was then thrown into the dry well, illuminating the scene inside.

Xi Yeming decided to be cautious because the range of the well was very small. If he was attacked in such a narrow place, it would be difficult to fight back. If he forcibly counterattacked with his own strength, an earthquake might occur in the area.

The path of the light ball's fall could be seen clearly, until the bottom suddenly went out and the same shattering sound as before was heard.

Xi Yeming almost figured out that the shattering sound came from space magic, because he had created a similar sound when he was developing the "Super Speed ​​Seal" before.

"Buzzing—"

A tiny black shadow darted back and forth beside Xi Yeming's face, making flapping sounds.

Looking closely, I found that it was a snow-white bee.

"There are bees in this place?"

The terrain in the wilderness, not to mention the climate, is not suitable for the survival of bees, and snow-white bees are too rare.

In the real world, there are animals that are completely white, unlike ordinary animals of the same species, but that is caused by albinism or atavism. Does this also happen to bees?

It’s not that Xi Yeming discriminates against bees, but it is still quite incredible that animals like bees have color differences.

What’s even more incredible is that the white bee actually flew into the dry well right under Xi Yeming’s nose.

"what's the situation?"

At first, Xi Yeming was worried about the condition of this type of bees. After all, white bees are so rare that if something went wrong it would probably be a loss?

But when the shattering sound occurred again, Xi Yeming suddenly realized.

"Isn't it returning to its nest?"

If it is really a homing behavior, it means that this is a path that allows "life" to pass.

Xi Yeming stood at the edge of the dry well. He stared into the well and found that there was no danger inside. He simply jumped down...

-

"Hey, you can do it."

At a round table in a large room, two girls were talking about something.

"Tell me what twenty-eight times thirteen equals?"

The older girl was teaching her younger sister how to multiply two-digit numbers in mathematics, but the younger sister was clearly not cut out for it.

"Hmm, ah, this..."

The girl with brown and white twin ponytails called "楸" hesitated for a long time, rubbing her hands between her legs.

"Sister Enoki, are you forty-one?"

As soon as 楸 announced her answer, 榮 flew into a rage and pinched her face.

"How many times have I taught you this, you idiot! I told you it's multiplication, not addition! Do you still want to learn addition and subtraction at your age?"

The elder sister mercilessly dragged her younger sister and shook her up, her nails digging deeply into her relative's flesh and blood, leaving a bright red blood.

Then, she pushed her sister's hand away with the pencil in her hand, poked the tip of the pencil into her throat, and cried, "Sister Enoki, can you be gentler? I really can't learn math!"

"Can you two just be quiet and stop making noise!"

On the other side of the room, a white-haired girl glared at the quarreling sisters.

She is the oldest girl among four sisters and is known as "Chun", the eldest sister.

Faced with the elder sister's reproach, Enoki and Kaede miraculously shook hands and made peace.

"I'm sorry, I was too harsh and didn't consider your feelings at all."

"No, no, I should be the one saying sorry, Sister Enoki."

Seeing that her two younger sisters had reconciled, the elder sister Chun continued to focus on her work.

There were many screens in front of her, and all of them were showing pictures of Xi Yeming.

"What a trouble. I didn't expect this woman to not touch the mirror and find the real entrance."

Yes, because of Xi Yeming’s long silver hair and his stunning face, Chun recognized him as a “female”.

But it's no big deal. No matter whether a man or a woman is killed by the four sisters, there is only one fate. That is to find a way to expel them through magic trials.

"Sister Tsubaki, I'm back."

Hiiragi appeared at the door of the room late, she should have arrived earlier.

"Where have you been?" Tsubaki was very unhappy with her sister's lateness. "Why are you so lax? Enoki and Kaede both arrived earlier than you."

"Sorry, there was an accident on the way..."

Chun didn't intend to embarrass her sister, so she let her go and said, "Well, come and see this person too."

Shu walked up to his sister and watched the footage of Xi Yeming entering the entrance so far.

"Is this the new challenger?"

"Yes."

"It doesn't look like a big deal. Didn't we just find the entrance?"

Hiiragi thinks her sister Tsubaki is making a big deal out of nothing. There have been people who have found the entrance and even passed some levels so far, so there is no need to pay so much attention to a new challenger.

"But her magic power is too great. All previous challengers did not have such magic power. It is better to be careful."

For some reason, Tsubaki has been feeling a little panicky lately, as if something bad is about to happen.
