Chapter 14 - Pocket

"The wizard's apprentice... This proves that wizards are not just legends, but real. 

Hellagur had a desire in his heart, he wanted to become a wizard.

"Deep Blue, temporarily name the unknown radiation energy magic."

"The naming is complete."

Based on the message on the pocket watch, Hellagur guessed that this unknown radiation energy was magic.

He was puzzled as to why his body could absorb and store magic power even though he had never learned any knowledge about wizards.

"Deep Blue, how much magic power can I still store in my body?"

"Storage full."

"Assuming the current magic power is 100%, add the magic power item to the personal physical data."

"Herag Merlin: Strength 0, Agility 6, Constitution 2, Spirit 5, Magic 100%."

Hellagur really wanted to try the holy healing spell enchanted on the pocket watch, but he didn't know how much magic power it would consume and whether he had enough magic power in his body.

Another problem is that he has no other source of magic power for the time being.

Now he has to use less of the magic power in his body. He doesn't think he will be able to get a magic item like a pocket watch in a short time, so he has to use the magic power in his body sparingly.

"Nicholas Carlos Camby..." Herag silently memorized the name.

He didn't know why the wizard's pocket watch appeared in this place, and it had been there for at least forty years, because the guards' disappearance incident began forty years ago.

Judging from Nicholas's original intention, this pocket watch should not have the human face attached to it.

From Hellagur's perspective, the human face seemed to be living in the pocket watch, and it had gained certain extraordinary powers by relying on the pocket watch, which led to the subsequent events.

"I just heard that scream again, coming from the bottom of the lake, and I thought something happened to you," said Emil.

Herag held up his pocket watch and shook it a few times. "That scream had no effect on me, so I dared to go down. It seems that the dirt on it is gone."

"This must be a treasure. Its value alone is incredible. You must keep it well." Emile exclaimed.

"This thing must be hiding a lot of secrets." Herag hung the pocket watch around his neck and stuffed it into his clothes.

The two of them picked up the bones on the ground. Since they were scattered all over the ground, they couldn't tell which bone belonged to whom, so they simply buried the bones and armor together.

The five guards who had been missing for many years finally found a burial place.

It was sunrise when we finished all this. The sun peeked out from the edge of the snow-capped mountains, instantly cutting through the darkness of the pumpkin farm and dispelling all the haze.

When Herag returned to the farm, he saw Massimo standing at the door with the broken lock in his hand. He cursed, "Damn you two brats! I gave you the key!"

Emile could only bow his head and apologize, while Massimo kept muttering to himself.

"I didn't expect you could come back. Those people disappeared in the middle of the night before and then vanished." Massimo looked at the two of them with a strange look after he got tired of scolding.

"We have found the five missing guards." Hellagur said as he approached.

"Found it?" Massimo was surprised.

"In the lake to the north. We have buried them in the woods by the lake," said Emile.

Massimo had a look of emotion on his face, as if recalling something: "It's good to have found it, it's good to have found it."

More than half a month passed, the weather became colder and colder, and the entire pumpkin farm was covered with snow.

Looking around, everything is covered in snow.

Hellagur was walking in the forest covered with thick snow, holding a hare in his hand.

There are few animals active in winter, so hunting is difficult.

Emile has been in a bad mood these days and often locks himself in the room for the entire day.

Helag knew the reason, Melissa's wedding date was approaching.

It is always helpless when people who love each other cannot be together.

Herag was glad that he didn't have these worries. Now he just wanted to do his best to find a way to contact the wizard after returning to the castle.

Since I can absorb and store magic power, it means that I have the qualifications of a wizard.

Emile didn't have any information about the wizard, so he had to go back and ask Baron Buck.

While Herag was thinking about this, he suddenly heard some noise in the distance. He stopped and listened carefully.

"The sound of horse hooves, there are quite a few people."

He immediately became alert because the sound came from the west, and the west was the territory of Behad.

Herag climbed to a high place and looked into the distance. He found that at the foot of the mountain in the distance, a group of fully armed people were riding horses quickly on the mountain road.

This group of people is coming with great momentum. It seems that they will soon pass through the pumpkin farm, and then cross the Emerald Mountains and head towards the castle.

And in a few days, Melissa will be getting married...

After confirming the situation, he immediately returned to the farm to inform Emil. Now he and Emil were the only ones capable of fighting on the pumpkin farm.

On the farm, Emil and Hellager were fully armed.

"I originally thought that Behad had given up. Their invasion at this time may not be that simple." Emile said in a deep voice.

Herag brought six bags of quivers and said, "Let's go. They probably didn't expect anyone to be stationed at the pumpkin farm. Let's kill them first and then keep someone alive to ask about the situation."

"Let's go!" Emil jumped on his horse with murderous eyes.

He had been in a bad mood recently, and now this group of people seemed to be targeting Melissa, which made him even angrier.

Herag and Emil quickly came to the western pass, which was the only way.

They occupied the commanding heights and fought from above.

Hellagur took out his fine steel bow and prepared to strike.

He had returned old Henry's longbow, and it hung on the wall as before.

But now he is the one who maintains the longbow because old Henry is lying in bed and can't move.

This fine steel bow requires a lot of strength to pull, and its lethality and range are not comparable to those of a wooden bow.

"There are fourteen people in total, fully equipped. The leader is a knight-level warrior, and the armor on his body is printed with the Simon family's emblem." Herag counted the enemy's situation.

When the armed forces of one territory enter another territory fully armed, no questions are needed because this represents a declaration of war.

When the group came into range, Herag did not rush to shoot arrows, but let the group come a little closer to prevent them from escaping.

Seeing that it was almost time, Hellagur shot the first arrow.

The arrow made a sharp sound of breaking through the air and was extremely fast. It directly pierced through a person's throat. After passing through, its speed did not decrease. The arrow was deeply embedded in the tree with blood.

"There's an ambush!" The group of people did not panic. They dismounted and hid in cover immediately.

Herag continued to pull the full length of the fine steel bow. He had deep blue support, so hiding was useless to him. As long as the opponent was not in a blind spot, he could launch an attack.
