Chapter 942: Chapter 814: Those Who Can See_2

Then he suddenly thought of something, lifted his head, and looked at the caravan ahead.

After watching for a while, he seemed to feel that something was wrong behind him and turned his head.

With that one look, he froze on the spot, staring wide‑eyed at the rear.

That expression lasted for less than a second before he forced himself to turn back around as if nothing had happened, continuing to trail lazily at the back of the caravan.

"He doesn’t seriously think we didn’t see that and wants to muddle through, does he?" Longbei pointed at the middle‑aged doctor in front and turned his head to ask the others.

The guy had just been making faces plain as day right in front of them.

Kane shrugged to show he had no idea.

But in their eyes, this seemingly ordinary middle‑aged doctor had stopped being ordinary from just now.

Earlier, in their sight, a thread of Magic Power had seeped out from inside him, drifting around the area of his eyes.

Unlike their own kind, this middle‑aged doctor could actually use the Magic Power in his body.

When he turned his head just now, he had obviously noticed Kane and the others.

Though he’d only frozen for less than a second, to Kane and the others it was like a Lamp in the dead of night, glaringly obvious—trying to fool them was pure wishful thinking.

Kane suddenly thought of something interesting and strode up to the middle‑aged doctor’s side, tilting his head as he stared at him.

The doctor, however, acted like he couldn’t see him, eyes fixed ahead as he continued to stroll along unhurriedly.

"Your sweat’s dripping."

Kane said suddenly.

Yet the doctor acted as if he hadn’t heard, clearly not intending to respond.

"Mm, this whole walk has been kind of tiring, huh." He sounded almost like he was talking to himself.

"Alright, drop the act. Let’s talk. You look like you know a lot about this world."

Kane said as he patted the man’s shoulder and drew him to a halt.

Then, only once they’d fallen behind the caravan did they start walking forward again.

"Not going to introduce yourself? What’s your name?" Kane asked.

Kreya and the others also came up, surrounding the middle‑aged physician.

They formed a half‑circle like that, dropping with the middle‑aged physician to the back of the line.

The caravan ahead could still clearly see the physician, so they didn’t mind.

The middle‑aged physician had already regained his composure; he took a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped away the sweat on his face that had just come out from nerves.

Looking at Kane and the others around him, he cleared his throat and said, "My name is Umberto, I’m a doctor who treats spirit illnesses."

Before Kane and the others could ask anything, he turned his head to look at them and asked:

"Spirits as powerful as you—why would you appear here, and in a group of five, no less?"

"With the world like this already, there shouldn’t still be spirits as strong as you around, should there?"

You’re asking us?

Sorry, we know absolutely nothing.

Kane couldn’t be bothered to beat around the bush with him and said directly, "We don’t know a thing about what you’re talking about. We’re not from this world—we only arrived in your broken world this morning."

He didn’t wait for the physician in front of him to be shocked before continuing.

"From what you’re saying, you should already know your world has shattered. As time goes on, this World Fragment you’ve been separated into will eventually head for destruction."

"And the only reason you’re still living comfortably right now is because you’re being protected by some great existence."

After listening to Kane, the physician wasn’t surprised; instead he stared at Kane and the others and said, "So you’re that great existence’s subordinates, then?"

He accepted what Kane said as if it were perfectly normal, which in turn left Kane and the others a bit dumbfounded.

When he came back to his senses, Kane nodded. "If you want to understand it that way, that’s perfectly fine."

At this point Lilulu flew curiously to the physician’s side, stared at his face and asked, "You’re not surprised?"

She felt the guy in front of her ought to be very shocked; the way he was acting now was way too calm, like he’d just heard a lame joke.

Umberto shook his head. "A long time ago, the last remaining spirit in this world already told me, so I’m not completely ignorant about this world’s current situation."

"Though after hearing what you’ve said, even with some mental preparation, I’m still a bit surprised."

"You sound pretty impressive, you know." Kane said, a little surprised.

The physician in front of him—whether in terms of internal energy or physical quality—had probably only just stepped over the Silver threshold.

In a world where only the Silver rank could exist, the fact that he knew this much already made him very impressive.

After all, the calm he showed wasn’t an act, and what he said wasn’t a lie.

In front of Lilulu, lies didn’t exist.

At Kane’s praise, he only nodded and replied modestly, "I just have my own channels, that’s all."

They kept chatting with each other, but still stuck closely to the back of the caravan.

They didn’t end up falling behind.

In the distance, at the end of the narrow road at the foot of the far‑off mountains, a small town was already visible.

Umberto followed at the rear of the caravan; looking at the small town in the distance, he turned to Kane and the others and said,

"Even though there are still a lot of questions between us that haven’t been explained clearly, this is obviously not a good place to talk."

"Once we reach that town, how about we sit down and talk in detail?"

Kane nodded. "Of course, no problem. We’re not in any rush."

Given everything that had suddenly happened, the man in front of them was still acting extremely calm.

That made Kane and the others all the more interested in him.

He carried himself with the composure of a strong person, even though he wasn’t strong.

Then they followed behind the caravan, slowly walking toward the small city not far ahead.

The villagers up front also slightly slowed their pace, as if waiting for the physician behind to catch up at a quicker step.

As they drew closer to the city, glowing creatures began to appear around them.

They became lively again, drifting through the air, appearing amid the nearby undergrowth and on tree branches.

All shapes and forms, strange and bizarre.

And the small city itself looked like something out of the Middle Ages—calling it a city, it was more like a small town.

Low wooden houses, a squat stone wall encircling the town.

And a moat dug around the outside of the wall, not too deep and not too shallow.

But you could see many people coming and going at the city gate.
