Hyperdimensional Warlock

Chapter 761 Wells and Lies
at dusk.

An elk sleigh rides across the thick snow.

Angel sat on the seat behind the sled, carefully looking at the map in his hand.Sitting next to him was Nite, who was waving the reins vigorously at this moment to make the elk run faster.

This is Taimo Street, with residential houses on both sides, with warm light shining from the windows, and the curling smoke from the chimneys being twisted and twisted in the heavy snow.

There are not too many adults on both sides of the street, and they are basically children dressed like meat dumplings. While waiting for dinner, they are having a snowball fight with their companions.

When the elk sleigh cart came, the boy was not afraid at all, and even picked up snowballs from the ground and threw them on the cart.

Nit was enjoying the joy of the elk pulling the cart, when he was hit by a ball of snowball directly on the face, the snowball slipped off, and a round red mark appeared on Nit's fair face.

The brat next to him who hit him was still giggling and laughing while pointing at the bridge of his nose.

If it were other nobles, it is estimated that they would have already started to burn with anger at this time.Dannet is a wonderful flower among the nobles, wandering in the sea all year round, and has experienced a lot so he is more tolerant.

Nit wasn't angry, but looked at the people around him tremblingly.Although Master Pat has always been kind, would this kind of offense by a child...

Nit was taken aback suddenly.

Lord Pat was not angry, because none of those snowballs hit him.Every snowball that flew over "naturally" bypassed him.

Moreover, not only was he not angry, he even evoked a devilish smile, caught the snowballs flying in the air with lightning speed, and hit them back one by one.

The brat couldn't hit him, but it didn't mean he couldn't hit these live targets stuck in the snow.

Even though the sled was moving, he still hit every shot accurately.

Almost every time the elk runs a certain distance, a thumping sound can be heard behind it. This is the sound of a bear child being shot and falling.

In the short distance of a few hundred meters on the tail mouse street, Mr. Pat is like a snowball god of war. When he got off the car, not only did he not have a little snow on his body, but he also smiled very politely at the brat who was hit by him behind him. .

Then he spit out a word that made Nit's wind messy: "Concession!"

Amidst the cries of the bear children, Angel came to a fir tree contentedly. There is a public well here, but because there is no shortage of water resources, the well here has been sealed by a big rock.

"This is No. 20 six wells. I hope you don't disappoint me." Angel stood by the well and murmured in a low voice.

Nit also came over at this time, looking at the serious-looking Lord Pat, and thinking about his smiling lore to the bear boy before, it is impossible to imagine that this is the same person.

However, he now understands what Vice Captain Helen said, Master Pat is indeed very different from other extraordinary people.

When Nite was in a daze, Angel held his forehead with a disappointed face: the tentacles of mental power went down and went deep, and there was nothing abnormal.

"I'll go down and have a look, you wait for me here." After Angor finished speaking to Nit, he used his magic hands to remove the sealing stone, and then wrapped in a thin film of water, he jumped into the well.

This is a diving well, Angel reached the bottom soon, and it was the same as what he detected with his mental power, and there was no abnormality.

Angor dived helplessly, and when he jumped out of the well, there was a faint mist.This is a natural phenomenon because the temperature of the well water is warmer than that of the outside world.

Niter looked at Mr. Pat with a slightly grave expression, knowing that he probably won't get anything this time.

He didn't know what Master Pat was looking for, and he wouldn't ask more.Lord Pat is willing to say, he will naturally know.If you don't want to talk about it and ask questions, it will definitely make the other party feel suspicious.

"My lord, are we going to the next place? I checked, and there are still four wells in Widow Street that have not been explored."

Angor was also thinking about it at this time. After screening and investigation, there were a total of 33 wells in the area he designated that were more than 3000 years old, plus three wells whose years could not be confirmed. If you are fast, you can finish it in a day.

But now he has checked all the surrounding wells, and the remaining ten wells are all locked in Lucas' residential area.

Logically speaking, these ten wells should be the most likely wells where Lucas committed suicide, but when we went out for a walk the night before, these areas were hidden from the extraordinary.

If he broke in now, maybe he would attract attention.

Angel was hesitant, whether to go over and have a look.

"Speaking of which, there is a well on Widow Street. It is in the house of a good friend of mine. He is the son of the head of the Western Expedition Knights and is currently a baron." Nite looked at the map and said.

Angel's eyes lit up when he heard this.

"Nite, the biggest purpose of my visit to Losing Song City this time is actually to find talented people. Since your friend is the son of a knight, he might have some talent, so we can just go there and test it."

Nit was stunned. Is the talent of a knight's heir high?Is there such a saying?
Although Niter was puzzled, he naturally didn't dare to refute, nodded and continued his work as a sleigh driver.

Angel also knew that his reasons were far-fetched. When he closed his eyes and rested his mind, he said softly: "Starting tomorrow, you can help me spread the news and find suitable talents. You should know the restrictions. The place to test talents is At... your house."

Nit's expression was happy, and the test at his house was tantamount to indirectly showing that the New Ross family had a relationship with a wizard.This is a great opportunity for their family.

So Nite nodded without hesitation: "Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely handle it!"

But after finishing speaking, Nite suddenly thought of something: "My lord, the total population of Lost Music City exceeds one million, and there are a lot of people of the right age. If you spread it casually, I'm afraid there shouldn't be such a big space at home, and the workload of adults will also increase. .”

Angel is also aware of this. After all, this is a big city with a population of one million.

He was silent for a moment: "You can appropriately limit the spread of news. At the same time, if you want to test your talent, you can first hand in 5 gold coins. No matter whether you have talent or not, the 5 gold coins will not be refunded."

For ordinary families, 5 gold coins are equivalent to giving everything.

Gold coins are of no use to Angor, but they can test one thing: are you ready to pay everything, and you may be burned in the end?

The same principle applies to the wizard's path.If you pay the price, there is a great possibility of failure; but if you don't pay the price, you will never succeed.

The gold coins are just a means for Angor to limit the number of people. He is going to draw a magic pattern of spiritual shock at the gate of Nit's house.

Only those who have survived the mental shock are eligible to come in for the test.

And there are only two situations that can survive the mental shock: people with strong mental power, and people with strong willpower.

This can be used as the second threshold. With these two thresholds, there should not be too many people who want to come in for the test at the end.

After listening to Angor's narration, Nit also breathed a sigh of relief. If it is true that people of the right age flock here regardless of the poor or the poor, it will be too chaotic.

While they were talking the sleigh had entered Widow Street.

It wasn't until this moment that Angel was surprised to find that all the wizard apprentices who were guarding here had all left?Either they've got what they want and are evacuating; or there's no clues to be found here.

Angel is more inclined to the second type. It happened 3000 years ago. Even if something has been preserved, it should not be discovered until now.

Now that they had already evacuated, Angel didn't need to go to Nit's friend's house immediately, but followed the original plan to investigate the wells one by one.

As for whether to visit Lucas' mansion, Angel gave up after thinking about it.

If there is really something strange, it should have been taken away by the Song of the Deep Sea, why wait until he picks it up?

Angel investigated the first three wells on Widow Street one by one. They were all diving wells, and it was easy to investigate to the end without any strangeness.

Angel could only pin his hopes on the well in the home of Niter's friend, the knight's son.

But to his regret, the last well didn't yield anything. As for Nit's friend, he was also an ordinary person and had no talent.

After Angel left Widow Street, he continued to look at Lucas' other industrial areas.

These areas were originally patrolled by extraordinary people, but they were also evacuated now.He explored the last six wells very smoothly, but the final result was still nothing.

On the way back to the New Ross mansion, Angor's expression was puzzled.

Could it be that his judgment was wrong, Lucas didn't actually jump into his own well, but went to someone else's house to jump into the well?Then his face is too big, right?
Or... Lukas couldn't even lie about jumping into a well, could he?
In Lucas's logbook, other things happened hundreds or thousands of years later, such as the "sea of ​​flowers" and "the wishing tree"... Could it be that his jumping into a well actually happened a long time later? ?
Shouldn't be possible?

There are two types of records in the logbook.One is the one that looks real, such as daily routines, and recording what you eat and drink... There is no need to fake it.

The other is fictional at first glance, such as the sea of ​​tears, the island spirit, and the luminous wishing tree... These are also obvious at a glance, and have some kind of fictional element.

Angel regarded all these fictional things as some kind of unreliable "prophecy".

And the last diary he wrote about "jumping into a well" was obviously the first one, which made Angel keep running around to find it.

But now, he couldn't find any clues in all the wells, not to mention the bones, under the all-round inspection of his spiritual power, there was not even a bit of dregs.

Could it be that Lucas lied in the last diary?
Angor can't even tell now whether Lucas is an honest person as he said, or a liar as he said.
