It is said that blind people will have more sensitive hearing, but this article obviously does not apply to these acquired night blindness.

Although the group did not completely avoid making noises as they passed through the valley below the hill of the landing site, the people who lit torches and guarded the vicinity of the landing site did not seem to be aware of their actions.

The team safely passed through the first checkpoint and reached the area leading to the settlement where the creatures lived.

"I didn't think it was bright enough when I looked at the landing site before, but now it looks really bright enough."

Militus stood behind a half-man-tall stone, observing the settlement not far away.

Although the streets of the settlements were lit only by the torches in the hands of some patrolmen, the houses of those settlements were unreservedly overflowing with their due light.

"This group of people really can't live without the light." Hanabi nodded as well.

"I wonder if their eyes will be blinded." Lorica made a nourishing statement.

But when Elise saw the light flowing from those houses, she had something else in mind.

"It seems that they have a greater need for light than I thought...... By the way, you say, if they have to be in this intensity of light to see things, what will happen to this strong contrast of brightness after I instantly extinguish their light? ”

Elise looked at a house not far away and said slowly.

"This ......," Militus was momentarily speechless, "and probably going to fall into complete blindness, and maybe lose balance or something?" ”

"In short, it must be like a catastrophe for them." The dark fireworks also echoed their words.

"Hmm." Elise nodded, "So what we're going to do now is to investigate how the light source in their hands and in the room is generated." ”

"And at this time, we need the Lubrom sent out before." Millitus suddenly realized.

……

The communicator's murmur was slightly subtle in such a quiet environment, a level between noisy and normal.

But if there is no response on the other end of the communicator, the noise will continue.

"Why hasn't Lublum answered?" Militus became a little anxious.

"Don't be nervous, and don't be in a hurry." Elise shook her head and motioned to Millitus to be relieved, "This kind of situation is the norm, don't expect others to get back to you in seconds, after all, it is someone else you take the initiative to find, so waiting is also a virtue, and urging is a kind of rudeness and recklessness." ”

"How do I feel like you're insinuating to express your views on other things?" Militus frowned.

"Then you take me as if you were like this." Elise was noncommittal, and continued to wait for an answer from the communicator.

……

"I'm Lubrum, and I'm hiding on the roof of a house, so please keep your voice as quiet as possible."

After settling his breathing from climbing over multiple houses, Lublum turned on the communicator's button and adjusted the sending mode.

'Click-'

As soon as he finished speaking and modulating the mode back to receiver mode, Elise immediately heard from the other end of the communicator.

"Great, you've finally got back, are you in any trouble?"

"It's not troublesome." Lublum suppressed his rapid breathing and adjusted the volume of his speech, "Just...... This place is a bit weird, which causes me to be disturbed a little psychologically, and it is a little inconvenient to act. ”

"Weird ......?" Elise couldn't help but ask, "Is it convenient to talk about it specifically?" ”

"It's convenient, otherwise I wouldn't have answered." Lublum nodded, "Before I talk about it, Elise, I'm going to ask you a question. ”

"What's the problem?" Elise frowned slightly.

"Did you hear the voices of those people as you passed by the manned hill?" Lubrom asked.

"...... voice?"

Elise couldn't help but fall silent, she fell into the memory.

No, as if she really didn't notice any sound.

"I haven't heard of it." So she answered truthfully.

"Okay, okay, then I'll ask you again." Lublum took a deep breath to regulate his breathing, "Didn't we draw out a lot of lights when we landed before?" Did we hear the voices of those people at that time? ”

This question sent Eliston from her previous state of thought into an epiphany.

"Wait, I see!" When Elise blurted out this sentence, she couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart, "What do you mean, these creatures have never made a sound from beginning to end?" ”

"It's not just that there is no sound." Lublum smiled wryly, "Did you see their entities under the lamp when they came out with the lamp in the first place?" ”

This question suddenly made Elise's heart fall into an ice cellar.

She remembered the conversation she had had with the Raven Valley Lord in the treehouse.

"Valley Lord, have you ever led your army to fight against them, or have you ever met those people?"

"No, to be honest, after our people moved out of that area, we barely went back, and we all lived in peace with each other."

"And how did you find out about them? For example, their ban on night blindness and their specific numbers. ”

"Well, I just said almost, but it doesn't mean that I haven't been back, just saying 'going back' doesn't mean that 'there was a fight'."

"I see, then I want to ask, who are the people who live there besides the Abyss Demons?"

"Well...... this"

The valley master's eyes flickered for a moment as he answered this question.

"I think, this kind of thing still has to be seen by yourself to understand, don't worry, I will send my crow troops to assist you when the time comes, don't worry."

Now that I think about it, the words of the valley lord are completely hiding something.

But why should the valley owner hide it? What was the point of cover-up to him? Or was it purely intentional?

Elise didn't understand, and neither did Lublom.

But they understand it now.

That is, this settlement is definitely not as simple as the Raven Valley Lord said at the beginning.

"Lubloom, I'll give you two tasks now." Elise said in a deep voice.

"First, find out what they are; Second, find out what their light source is. ”
