Hyperdimensional Warlock

Chapter 333 The corpse at the bottom of the lake
It was also pitch black under the lake, and the line of sight was completely blocked.Angel quickly built a hexagonal model in the thinking space, and with a slight push of the magic power, a white ball of light appeared out of thin air in the mask of the purification force field, like a lamp, illuminating the surroundings.

This is a 0-level cantrip light spell.

In the past two months, he has completed most of the commonly used tricks, including the light technique that he didn't bother to learn in the past and thought it was a waste of time.

The light technique only has the effect of glowing, and the light it emits is not bright, similar to a torch, and can illuminate the surrounding two or three meters at most.But torches cannot be used underwater, and light does not have this restriction.

In fact, the light technique also has an advanced trick called: the flash technique.It can illuminate a range of tens of meters, but the flare technique is a level 1 trick, and if you want to learn it, you need to accumulate the corresponding knowledge to a certain extent.It takes a long time to study to learn, and Angel has no plans to study for the time being.

With the help of the light technique, the dark and cold water of the lake finally had a little brightness.

Looking around with the dim light, there were dark, unknown dregs floating in the water, and he also found some strange black silk threads, like human hair, floating quietly in the water.

Looking at the clump of black hair, even with the separation of the purification field, Angel could still imagine how disgusting the smell was.

The lake is not deep, about four or five meters, and Angel quickly reached the bottom of the lake.The bottom of the lake is full of unknown black paint-like things. At first, he thought it was the original resource of petroleum, but he wrapped a part of the black paint with a magic ball and entered the purification force field. In an instant, a disgusting rancid smell filled the tip of his nose.

Not oil.Angel thought for a long time, judging from his experience, he didn't know what this thing was, so he had to give up.

The bottom of the lake is not deep, which also proves one thing. In the past, villagers could not live on this water alone.Maybe this lake used to be running water, but now it is blocked for some unknown reason.

With this in mind, Angel began to look for possible blocked pipes in the dark water bottom.

Every few steps, a "wind tornado" was triggered from Angel's palm, rolling up the dregs at the bottom of the water.The bottom of the lake began to turbulent violently, and many things hidden in the dross were thrown out.

Angel has been maintaining the purification force field, which temporarily cuts off the sewage and scum, plus the light technique, so he can clearly see many strange things.

For example, a dilapidated small iron box flashed past Angel's eyes.

He quickly caught the iron box, and then dragged it into the mask of the purification force field.Angel reckoned that the iron box hadn't been opened for a long time. He was afraid that opening the box would cause a qualitative change in the contents, so he learned how to behave. He didn't try to open the iron box, but put his mental power tentacles in to observe the internal situation.

Angel was a little surprised by the feedback from the tentacles of mental power. Looking at the exquisiteness and sealing of the box, he thought it was for jewelry and treasures, but the box contained almost undamaged medical equipment, such as Needles, vials, syringes and the like.

Angel thought for a while, and used the cleaning technique to clean up the dross outside the small iron box, and then used the purification technique to remove the smell, and finally put it in the bracelet.

The reason why the box was not discarded was that Angel discovered that the medical equipment inside had a strange mark——

A snake hovers over a long circular cone.

This sign may reveal some information about the village here.

As one after another of "tornadoes" went down, the hidden objects buried by time for nearly a thousand years surfaced one by one.Among them, there are even several white bones with hair that hasn't faded.

No one's bones were seen in the village. Angel thought that everyone here had escaped, but it didn't look like that now.He only cleaned up a corner of the bottom of the lake, and there were a total of 8 corpses. If you look at the area of ​​the entire lake, how many corpses have sunk at the bottom of the lake?

Could it be that the entire village sank to the bottom of the lake?
Thinking of this possibility, Angel felt a little horrified. No wonder this lake smells so bad.Thousands of years dead lake, countless dead bodies, it's no wonder it smells good.

Angel jumped out of the lake with the bones, put the bones by the lake, and began to check them one by one.

After all the eight corpses were checked, a smile appeared on Angel's face.After his careful inspection, these bones were determined to be human beings, not humanoids.And according to the distribution of height and bone size, Angel judged that these people might be Zhiren, belonging to the mainstream Homo genus in the Southern Territory.

This answer made Angel more convinced that he might not have left the wizarding world.

Other planes are not devoid of humans, but most of them are extraordinary beings, not ordinary humans.Angel was sure that these skeletons were once ordinary people.In addition, although the deserted village in the center of the earth is very strange, after Angel's search during this period, it can be roughly judged that there should be no extraordinary things in the village.

A village full of ordinary humans can never appear outside the world of wizards!

Since he is still in the wizarding world, why is Angel worried?As long as you never go away, there is always a way to go back.

Angor dug a huge pit with his magical hands, and put 8 corpses into the pit. He has basic respect for the dead.

Angel did not bury it immediately, but continued to go down to the bottom of the lake and set off waves.

As he expected, the whole bottom of the lake was like a mass grave. He picked up corpses one after another, including men and women, old and young. Among them was the skeleton of a baby held in his mother's arms.Looking at the bones of the mother and child who seemed to be full of maternal love but also indifferent, Angel had mixed feelings in his heart.

It is impossible for a baby to actively ask for death, so this corpse seems to prove one thing: the people here may have been killed or committed suicide.

Leaving aside the murder, if it was a suicide, Angel didn't understand what kind of emotion this mother was carrying. She would rather die than take the baby with her?

"Ah..." sighed softly, the past has long been buried in time, and no one can tell why.The feelings of mortals, because life is too short, erupt more passionately and passionately. This is a kind of ardor that wizards with long lifespans lack.

Perhaps thousands of years ago, a bloody disaster occurred here.or--

Angel turned his head and looked towards a certain part of the village, where there was a long-standing nest where colorful dragonflies made their homes.Angel didn't know if it was their visit that caused the problem here.

However, who can clarify what happened thousands of years ago?

One after another, the bones, like piles of hills, were dragged out from the bottom of the lake by Angel and thrown into the huge pit.What he didn't know was that while he was doing these things, a golden vertical pupil was quietly staring at him from a secret place at the bottom of the lake.

In the end, Angor cleaned up nearly a hundred corpses from the bottom of the lake. This number seems a lot, but according to the size of the village, there should be more than 100 people living there.

"Perhaps some of the remaining people escaped from the village?" Angel guessed.

Angel cleaned the bottom of the lake for a long time, and almost all the corpses were taken out, but what he wanted to find was the "underground passage" that proved that the lake was once a living lake, but he didn't find it.

"Could it be that my guess is wrong? In this deserted village in the center of the earth, there are actually other sources of water? This lake is simply built to look good?"

But who would deliberately build a stagnant lake for people to see?
Or is this lake actually the tomb of the villagers?They ended their lives with water burials?
Angel kept guessing, but couldn't get the answer, and couldn't find the exit, so he could only leave the bottom of the lake and bury the bones first.

There were too many bones, and the hole was a bit small at the beginning. Angel commanded Toby to smash a larger hole nearby violently, and then put the corpses into it one by one.

After the soil was covered, Angel also found a big stone, melted it into a stele through hot melting, and carved a neat row of common characters with his magical hands:
"In an unnamed deserted village, there are more than a hundred corpses sunk in the lake, and a monument is erected today as a sacrifice."

"The person who erected the monument: Angel Pat."

As the inscription was erected, Angel began to wonder if there was another way?In fact, there is another stupid way to dig a road by himself, but he doesn't know the location of the infrastructure in the center of the earth. If he accidentally digs a landslide, it will be bad.

At this moment, Angel suddenly heard the sound of gurgling from the lake behind him.

He turned his head and saw that there was a vortex on the surface of the lake? !

How could Angel not know what the vortex on the lake meant? With a happy expression on his face, he greeted Toby to come back, and then plunged into the lake.

Angel came directly to the whirlpool, and he was surprised to find that there was a dark hole at the bottom of the lake.

It was this abrupt hole that caused the vortex.

"Didn't you see a hole here before?" Angel was full of doubts, and then began to recall what was going on here before.

But after thinking for a long time, he didn't think of any useful information.Because the bottom of the lake is too dark, even with the light spell, it can only illuminate the surrounding two or three meters. In addition, the bottom of the lake is uneven, and it is full of black paint-like things. It is normal for him not to remember.

"Perhaps the tornado was used to lift up the opening of the hole, and when the villagers were buried, the last layer of membrane was crushed due to the water pressure?" Angel had no other guesses. , and there is no one else here, so we can only make such a guess.

As for whether it might be caused by the undead... Angel could still tell the difference, he didn't feel the fluctuation of the undead here.In addition, the probability of ordinary people becoming a soul body to survive is too low. Now that thousands of years have passed, it is impossible for undead to exist.

When the bottom of the lake calmed down again, Angel cautiously stepped into the dark cave entrance.

Unknown hole, unknown direction, no one knows what the road ahead is, what Angel can do now is to be fully on guard.

"Toby, pay attention to your guard!" Angel did not forget to remind Toby, but when he turned his head to look at Toby, he found that Toby's eyes were very serious.

"Toby?" Angel asked puzzled.

Toby gestured to Angel twice: "Ji-gu-ji-gu."

"You said, you want to go out?" Angel was a little surprised. Isn't Toby the most clean?It's not good to stay in the purification force field, do you have to go out to touch the dirty and rancid water?
