Chapter 13 - Lake

"Deep Blue, start combat assistance.

Hellagur was not aware of the strength of these skeleton warriors and was extremely cautious. He was also prepared to run away at any time.

The skeleton warrior opened and closed his mouth, holding a rusty long sword in his hand, and ran towards Hellagur at an accelerated speed.

"Fortunately, the speed is not fast." Herag was assessing the strength of these dead things at any time.

The skeleton warrior rushed in front of him, raised his long sword high and slashed at Hellagur's head.

Its movements were as slow as a snail in Herag's eyes, and the knife chopped through the air.

After the skeleton warrior chopped down the sword, his movements became very stiff.

Hellagur naturally would not miss this opportunity. With a swing of his long sword, he easily smashed the skull's head.

The entire skeleton warrior suddenly froze in place, and then fell apart into broken bones on the ground, making a sound of bones and armor colliding.

Herag turned around and saw that Emil had also dealt with the skeleton warriors, and bones were scattered on the ground.

"That's it?" Herag didn't expect the skeleton to be so weak that it shattered at the slightest touch.

The three skeleton warriors who came out of the lake behind them rushed over, but were still easily dealt with by the two men.

Emil looked at the bones on the ground and said, "These are the guards of the castle, and our predecessors. Let's collect them and bury them."

Hellagur nodded and bent down to pick up the bones on the ground.

Just then, the bones on the ground began to move by themselves.

The broken bones automatically floated up and reassembled in the air to form a complete skeleton. Then he picked up the long knife and killed Hellagur.

"Be careful, he's not dead yet." Herag reminded Emil while blocking the knife with his sword.

The skeletons on Emil's side were also resurrected, but their combat power was too weak and they were no match for the knights.

These skeletons are impossible to kill. After Hellagur killed them five or six times, the skeletons were still able to resurrect on the spot.

"Deep Blue, detect skulls!"

"An unknown radiation energy line is attached to the target."

"Lines?" Herag saw any lines. "Mark them in blue."

"The signage is complete."

In Hellagur's vision, there was a long blue line behind each of these skeletons, and the end of the line was at the bottom of the lake.

"Deep Blue, test this lake."

"The test is complete, and we found an unknown radiation energy source at the bottom of the lake." Deep Blue gave the result.

Hellagur casually chopped the newly risen skeleton into pieces with a sword, and stared at the bottom of the lake, wondering, "Unknown radiation energy source?"

He looked at the bottom of the lake and suddenly had a bold idea in his mind.

"Emile, I'm going to go to the bottom of the lake to take a look." said Herag.

"Go to the bottom of the lake? Are you crazy? There are obviously strange things down there."

Hellagur said seriously, "This thing may not be as scary as we thought."

"Are you sure?" asked Emil.

Herag was unsure: "We can only try."

He had reached the end of his knighthood, no further progress was possible. The thing at the bottom of the lake was so strange and mysterious, it might be the breakthrough to his search for a way out. It was worth the risk.

"Deep Blue, block my hearing." After making up his mind, Hellagur took off his heavy armor, walked to the lake, and jumped in.

The lake water was freezing cold, but Hellagur gritted his teeth and persevered thanks to his strong physique.

In the field of vision, five blue lines extended from the depths of the lake.

After determining the target location, Hellagur swam deeper.

The five lines finally converged into one line, and there was a blue light spot at the bottom of the lake.

"Deep Blue, monitor your body's condition at all times and notify me immediately if there are any abnormalities."

"Comprehensive monitoring has begun, and no abnormalities have been found so far."

After Herag felt relieved, he continued to swim to the bottom of the lake. The blue light extended to the lake surface beside him, and the blue light spot gradually became larger.

"Pocket watch?" After he swam to the bottom of the lake, he found a pocket watch lying quietly at the bottom of the lake. The entire pocket watch was wrapped in blue. This was the source of the unknown radiation energy.

Hellagur picked up the pocket watch, and the pale face appeared before his eyes again.

There was obvious anger on the man's face, and his mouth was wide open as if he was howling.

The howling had no effect on Hellagur, as he had long since blocked his hearing.

"Unknown radiation energy has been detected and is being absorbed and stored within the body."

Herag saw the blue unknown radiation energy migrating from the pocket watch into his body.

The pale man's face showed a human-like expression of panic, which gradually turned into extreme fear.

Hellagur even saw a hint of pleading in its eyes, but he remained unmoved and continued to absorb the unknown radiation energy.

All five guards died at the bottom of the lake, and even Emil almost got caught. This must not be a good thing, and Hellagur will not show any mercy.

He swam towards the surface of the lake while absorbing the unknown radiation energy.

"Absorption is complete, mental strength increased by 0." When Herag swam to the surface of the lake, the energy absorption was also completed.

The blue lines behind the five skeleton warriors also disappeared, turning into piles of dry bones scattered on the ground, and this time they did not get up again.

Emil breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Hellagur swimming out of the lake.

"I found this at the bottom of the lake." Herag swam to the lake's edge and climbed ashore, showing Emile the exquisite pocket watch in his hand.

The main body of the pocket watch is gold and blue, and it comes with a solid gold chain.

"Pocket watch? Is this the thing causing trouble down there?" Emil didn't expect that the source of such a strange incident was actually a pocket watch that looked expensive.

As he approached, he exclaimed, "This is pure gold. I can't tell what the blue material is. But I don't know how this pocket watch was made. It's so seamless that there's not a single seam."

Herag searched the pocket watch for a while and found a tiny golden button on the bottom. After pressing it, the pocket watch opened.

The internal structure of the pocket watch is no different from other pocket watches, and the golden hands are still turning.

Herag checked the time and found that the time on the pocket watch was very accurate.

The background of the pocket watch chassis is a painting with a hexagonal tower in it. I don't know what it means.

At the same time, a message came into Hellagur's mind.

"This pocket watch is the first magical item I made when I was a wizard apprentice. It is very memorable to me. I enchanted it with a Lay on Healing spell, which can heal most injuries and dispel most curses and nightmares. You only need to input a little magic power to use it. I wish you good luck, my friend."

It was signed: "Nicholas Carlos Camby."

This message is not transmitted in any language form, but is a message that allows people to understand its meaning directly.

Herag's heart beat faster after reading the message. He got too much information from this message.

"Wizard Apprentice, Enchanted Items, Magic Power, Holy Healing..."
