Zula did not describe in detail how his father went crazy and was eventually buried by him in the cemetery where the Rat Man tribe buried his relatives for generations, but Xu Nan could feel the huge emotional fluctuations hidden in his seemingly plain tone.

This is something he hasn't felt before, and it's quite novel.

"This has something to do with the ability of the bard."

"According to the description of the Book of Pink, I am now in the advanced stage of the Apostle of Desire, so it is normal to have this reaction. This profession itself is very sensitive to the human mind, and emotional capture naturally also has related bonuses."

Xu Nan listened quietly, although he was full of thoughts in his heart, he did not rashly interrupt Zula's narrative.

According to him, his father, when he was dying, still insisted that he heard the call of the gods, who promised him to take him and the Itka tribe out of this dark abyss and give them eternal liberation...

But the rats who were tortured by the devil day and night were not willing to believe Zula’s father’s statement, and Zula himself was the same; they thought he was crazy—the main evidence came from the underground hole he dug with his own hands, and there was nothing at all!

After his father's death, Zura took people to the dry well for reconnaissance many times. Not to mention the so-called power of the gods, even any sign of mysterious power did not appear.

In the end, he sadly classified this place as a forbidden area.

In the days that followed, the rat people entered a darker era, and the newly grown Zura obviously could not protect the tribe like his father - they were attacked by three dark creatures within a month and were once on the verge of extinction.

However, at this time, the Itka people showed shocking resilience.

Although the emerald radiation from generation to generation has made their nerves sensitive and fragile to a certain extent, and is easily bewitched and tempted, it has greatly expanded their intelligence; and the rats who survived the temptation and torture of the devil all have super willpower that their compatriots do not have.

With this willpower, a leap-like evolution occurred within the rat people: a large number of rat people have understood spell-like abilities, and a small number of rat people's bloodlines have changed, becoming a powerful combat power as a professional.

In this process, Zula's own progress was the most obvious. He successfully broke through himself with the help of various books left by rat priests of all generations. According to the laws of the prologue, he was actually a fourth-level spellcaster, at the same level as Jiang Yuanchi, even stronger than Xu Nan!

This evolution dragged the Ratman tribe back from the brink of extinction, and the angry devil finally disappeared, but everyone knew that he did not leave, and he was still wandering in this seemingly cursed land. When the Ratman tribe was weak, he would give a fatal blow.

"It sounds like a rat with a head and tail exposed..."

Hearing this, Xu Nan couldn't help but ponder: "Since your tribe has evolved like this, shouldn't that devil dare to come to you again... I guess, the Well of Void changed later?"

This is obvious.

In Zula's narrative, the Well of Void was dug by his father himself, and there was nothing unusual at the beginning, and what Xu Nan saw in the Rat Man Farm before was not a normal ancient well.

Sure enough, Zula nodded:

"That well...has changed very terriblely."

"About three years ago, someone was fetching water and heard a strange sound in the ancient well. He leaned over and saw the face of a very terrifying woman! The woman greeted him, with a very strange language, claiming to be a messenger of God, and was about to come to guide the lost. Everyone who saw her was trembling all over and lost the ability to move!"

"When I rushed over, the woman was gone."

"Although I don't know her specific origin, I guess it must have something to do with my father's madness. I read a lot of classics and found nothing; later I simply stayed near the Well of Void. Every night, I could hear the crying and singing of the girl. The two were mixed together, which actually made me think of surrender and fear..."

Zula's expression became very serious: "I have fought with the devil and know their background; but the existence of the well of vanity is something darker than the devil. I tried to trace her origin with divination, but I was seriously injured!"

Is it so powerful?

Xu Nan was a little confused.

Since Zula, a spell-like profession who is supernaturally evolved, said that he can use divination skills, the relevant fields must be very specialized.

The divination backlash that can seriously injure the fourth-level profession, the other party has an amazing origin, at least it has a divine character or a similar existence!

If this is true, it is indeed the same as Zula said, and it is not comparable to the devil.

"After this incident, I read a lot of books - although our ancestors were slaves, they learned a lot from magical civilizations, which happened to be mastered and came in handy."

"The magic array sealing technique you saw before is my masterpiece."

Speaking of this, Zula couldn't help but feel proud: "Since the seal was completed, I just needed to strengthen it regularly, and that terrible existence has never disturbed us easily. But occasionally I would hear the chanting of a girl, but this is nothing compared to the previous pain."

"To this day, the biggest problem of our tribe is still the devil who initially helped us sign a contract with the dwarfs. His name is Cruz. Although his original body no longer appears, he has been using loopholes in the contract to attack our dreams, making it difficult for us to feel at ease."

"For me, his tricks are nothing, but for others, the invasion of water dripping through stone is too unbearable. In addition, I have to devote a lot of energy to the Well of Void..."

Speaking of this, Zura sighed heavily.

Xu Nan's eyebrows relaxed.

He could probably understand the difficulties of the Itkas: they wanted to leave, and a ghostly devil stared at them and tried to fetch the wool; they wanted to fight against the devil, but as a result, there was no idea what kind of great god was hidden in the pit dug by the former priest, which seriously involved Zula's energy.

If this continues, if there is no second evolution, the rat-man tribe will probably collapse.

“I think I can help.”

Xu Nan thought for a while and said slowly.

Zula was not surprised, but looked at Xu Nan's eyes:

"I know you have a great origin. Although you have not used divination, I can sense it."

"The only thing I care about is, what do I, or us, need to pay?"

Xu Nan smiled:

"Where do you think is the most valuable thing about you?"

Zula remained silent.

"Itkaras can't become slaves to anyone anymore." After a while, he spoke.

Xu Nan shrugged: "I don't need slaves."

"I'm just interested in you."

"If I don't mind, I'd be happy to invite you to be residents of Anonymous City."

Zula's face was filled with a look of surprise:

"You...invite...residents?"

"I think your magical talent is very suitable for some of my industries." Xu Nan did not hide it: "I am going to develop emerald mines, but I don't have enough staff. I think if you have been trained, your people will be very excellent employees."

"Employee?" Zula seemed unable to understand the word.

“Anyway, it means cooperation and mutual benefit.”

Xu Nan did not explain in depth that it was impossible to become a fat man in one go. He took a fancy to some of the characteristics of the Itka rat people and hoped that they could work for themselves, but before that, he had to solve the worries of the rat people.

"So, what's your way about that devil?"

Zula was not excited, but calmly raised her own questions.

Xu Nan smiled and shook her head: "I know very little about that devil."

"Let's start with the Well of Void."

...

Rat man farm, near the well of falsehood.

Xu Nan appeared here alone, while Zula was controlling the wooden crow and carefully untied a corner of his seal according to Xu Nan's instructions.

“How sure are you?”

The wooden crow looks very reserved.

Perhaps because he was cheated by Cruz for many years, Zula and the Rat people were overreacting to any extraordinary power.

Xu Nan vaguely remembered the reply she received when she consulted Orphee about the Well that day.

Perhaps, if you think about it differently, you will be brighter?

Such thoughts passed through his mind and he approached the well.

Xu Nan looked inside and saw only the bottomless darkness.

In the depths of the darkness, it seemed that a strong fear was condensed. Here, emotions condensed into blocks and seemed to turn into tides, as if they were about to swallow all living beings!

"This feeling is very bad. No wonder Zula is so afraid."

Xu Nan muttered, unable to help but open the field of courage to support himself.

According to his judgment, the female faces that appeared that day should be soul-like beings.

"Maybe, she is asking for help?"

Xu Nan's mind is very open.

At this moment, I seemed to feel the lifting of the seal, and changes suddenly arose in the ancient well!

A little light broke out from the darkness, as if someone tried to clear away these blocks of negative emotions and climbed up!

"Here you! She's here!" The wooden crow's voice was very unpleasant.

Xu Nan nodded and signaled: "You can turn off your hearing."

Immediately, he looked into the ancient well, took a deep breath, and began to chant loudly!

Requiem, one of the three major songs of the Bard!

Since it is a soul, then use the Requiem to comfort her first!

That's what Xu Nan thinks.

His singing followed the ancient well and passed it little by little.

Suddenly, the rising white light stagnated for a while, and not long after, he turned around and rushed down without hesitation!

Under Xu Nan's gaze, the solidified block objects actually followed the white light, diving quickly and gradually disappeared from his vision!

The false well instantly turned into an ordinary dry well.

"Sure enough, nothing can't be solved by a song!"

He couldn't help but laugh at himself.

At this moment, in his aftermath, he found an ancient symbol at the bottom of the well.

This symbol seems to be somewhat familiar.
