Chapter 461 No mana land III
After hearing the old man's words, the couple exchanged a startled glance. Hazel swiftly closed the distance, her leather attire hugging her figure as she stood beside Kyle's bed, scrutinizing the man from head to toe with her aged face. THee source of this content n/o/v/(el)bi((n))
Right away, a look of surprise and bewilderment crossed her face as she observed with her own eyes how Kyle's injuries had significantly improved since the previous day. She had believed it would take him months just to regain consciousness, but now she could see that his progress had far exceeded her expectations.
Not just Hazel, even Joshua looked surprised. As the couple checked out Kyle, he also checked the people around him and noticed something in common. All of them had blue pupils that looked like sapphires, and they all had crests on their heads, just like a crown.
'That means they aren't humans...'
He also noticed that even though they looked old, the trio bodies were quite muscular. The silence in the room was shattered when the old man sitting beside his bed stood up abruptly and glanced at the room's door.
The couple was startled by his sudden movement, and when they followed his gaze, their expressions turned tense.
Kyle furrowed his brows and tried to follow their gaze, but the trio's backs blocked his view. He let out a silent sigh because he had many questions in his head, but first and foremost, he wanted to know where he was. His ears twitched when, for some reason, the old man's voice turned icy as he looked at the door.
"Why are you here? I told you to wait outside, didn't I?"
Kyle didn't hear any footsteps, nor did he sense anyone's presence, so he became a bit curious when a deep and nonchalant voice replied back to the old man with little to no emotion.
"He's awake, right?"
The couple looked at the old man, who rubbed his white beard with a serious expression that they rarely saw on his face. Hubert, the owner of their village, was always nonchalant, but for some reason, the old man lost his calm the moment he laid eyes on the man with purple eyes standing opposite them.
"I... am really grateful to the ones who saved my life... Thank you so much. That's all I can offer right now. I don't know where I am at the moment. But as soon as I am able to walk, I will leave..."
Kyle attempted to sit, but his body refused to obey. He winced in pain as he tried to grasp the bed with his hands. Observing his discomfort, Hazel promptly assisted him in sitting on the bed and let out a sigh.
"Aye, kid, try not to move too much. I don't know how you woke up so early, but your wounds might reopen if you exert yourself too much."
Kyle nodded and leaned back against the pillow placed behind him. He glanced at the man with purple eyes who stared back at him.
"I don't know him."
His voice was firm as he fixed his gaze on the old couple and the old man standing beside the bed.
"Please, can any of you tell me where I am? Why can't I feel any mana in the air. Not just mana, I also can't sense divine energy."
Kyle failed to notice, but Hubert's eyes caught a strange glint flashing within the pairs of empty purple eyes when the man heard the words, 'I don't know him'. Hubert almost thought he was imagining it because he saw the man's purple eyes crinkling with amusement. A troubled expression appeared on his aged face because in that very moment, he finally sensed the man's strength.
Perhaps the man intentionally emitted a faint aura to make his strength known. Hubert wasn't sure since he had never encountered someone whose presence put him on edge before. Nonetheless, just like the silver-haired man, the black-haired one also possessed pseudo divine rank strength.
'Did I make a mistake... maybe he's an ordinary human just like the silver-haired one?'
Hubert fixed his eyes on Kyle and sat down on the chair, wearing a stern expression. His previous annoyance faded into thin air. Now that the two humans had entered his village, he needed to ensure they left as soon as possible to avoid any further trouble.
"I don't know how you ended up here, but this place is called No Mana Land."
