Chapter 57: The Man in the Lake

In the golden oak forest, Cizer silently picked up a golden leaf and stared at it for a moment, as if thinking of something and making a strange move.

He crushed the leaves, smeared the sap on the dagger he had carried, and the unexpected happened.

I saw that the golden juice quickly solidified, and when Cizer wiped the residue of the leaf away, the striking gold was left on the dagger, and when Cizer touched it again with his hand, a different touch came from his fingertips.

Gold!

The outer layer of this dagger has been transformed into pure gold!

Cizer couldn't help but be dumbfounded. The elves are indeed a magical race, and this method of petrifying gold is a means for alchemists to pursue a lifetime, and the only thing that can be compared to it is the magic stone of immortality.

However, Cizer also knew that this thing could not be called real stone to gold, and the golden juice was only attached to the surface of the dagger, and it was still a long way from turning the entire dagger into gold.

Cizer silently collected some golden leaves and prepared to take them back and study them.

In addition to this strange oak tree, there are many flowers and plants that grow in this golden oak forest, and the more Cizer goes inside, the greener it becomes.

Eventually, Cizer's world was completely covered in gold and green, two colors that intertwined to create a beautiful picture of nature.

As Cizer reached the deepest part of the woods, he was once again struck by what he saw.

What appeared in front of him was not a magnificent palace, nor a rare plant, but an ordinary-looking lake.

However, the water is crystal clear, and there are two fish swimming slowly in the lake. One is a golden carp and the other is a white carp.

Cizer stood silently on the edge of the lake, watching the two fish sometimes approach, sometimes separated, swimming freely in the clear water.

Somehow, the gray-haired rabbit chased a butterfly among the fluttering flowers and landed in a bush. When it reappeared, its head was covered in dirt and had a few tender green leaves.

Coco was still following Cizer by this time, but one of its eyes was already dead against the two swimming carp, and a clear liquid trickled down its jaw.

Finally, Coco couldn't hold back any longer. It quickly turned into a black shadow, and before Cizer could stop it, it leaped into the lake, and approached the two carps like a ray of light.

"Coco, come back!" Cizer tried to stop, but it was as if a force was restraining him, leaving him standing on the edge of the lake, unable to enter the lake for a single step.

Cizer anxiously looked at Coco, who was getting closer and closer to the carp, and kept struggling to pull Coco back, but he was never able to break free, and could only watch Coco come close to the carp.

At this time, Coco, who was swimming in the lake, did not seem to hear Cezel's shout, and swam in front of the carp with all his might, opened his mouth and took a bite!

"Don't!"

Cezel's inner fear is beyond words.

If this secret realm has been as the dean said, then it has been abandoned for at least a few hundred years, if not thousands of years! So how did these two carps survive in the lake?

What is their food? The water is so clear that there is not even a single aquatic plant in sight, which is so weird!

Sure enough, at the moment when Coco's mouth was about to bite the golden carp, the lake suddenly bloomed with dazzling light, at first it was a blue color, and finally it turned into an emerald green symbolizing life!

However, although this light is dazzling, it is not hot, and even falls on the body to give people a warm feeling. A condensed light lifted Coco, who had been in the lake, and dragged it away from the lake, despite its struggles.

"Don't hurt it!"

Cizer could only shout this sentence, if this force had its own consciousness, he wished to pray that he would spare Coco, he was willing to exchange everything he had!

I don't know if it was Cizer's sincerity that moved the unknown being, and the force sent Coco to Cezel with care, without any further investigation.

"Thank you, thank you. ”

Cizer held the "lost and found" Coco, and kept thanking Coco, patting Coco on the back for fear that it would be frightened.

But Coco was much bolder than he had imagined, and at this time it was still angry that someone was disturbing its feeding, staring at the transparent arm of power in the air, and roaring.

"Whoa!"

It's just that because the voice is too immature, there is no threat in Coco's voice, and Cizer can't help but hold his forehead.

You...... Is this coquettish?

At this time, Cizer has also calmed down, and after what happened just now, Cizer has reason to believe that in addition to himself, Coco, and the gray-haired rabbit, there is a fourth unknown existence here.

"Are you the master of this place? We are lost here, and I hope you will guide us to find our way back. ”

At this point, Cizer no longer had any expectations for the treasure. Now he just wants that he can return to the academy safely with Coco, and judging from the power just now, that person can easily pinch himself to death if he wants to. At this time, he had to be cautious and hide his original purpose.

But Cizer's question was not answered, the invisible hand was gone, and the lake was once again quiet, and the two carp in the lake swam freely, as if what had happened before was nothing but an illusion.

But is that really an illusion?

Cizer knew it wasn't, so he grabbed the gray-haired rabbit lying on the grass basking in the sun, and then walked away with Coco in his arms.

He didn't want to stay in this weird place any longer!

Just as he had taken two steps away, a voice came from behind him, causing him to involuntarily stop.

"Human, are you just leaving?"

The first moment this voice sounded, Cizer did not have the slightest panic at all, this gentle voice was so immaculate, only a truly kind person can have this heavenly voice.

Cizer turned slowly, and saw a soft green glow looming in the center of the lake.

"Wait, it's been a long time since anyone has been here, not even a single one to speak. ”

The light gradually converged, revealing a slender figure. She was dressed in a white veil as thin as cicada wings, with an emerald green crown of thorns on her head, and a pair of white jade feet stepped on the surface of the lake, without even a ripple.

And her deep eyes, like Cizer, show an azure color, as if the reflection of the blue sky can reflect the most beautiful side of the world.

Cizer also noticed a pair of pointed ears next to her long brown hair, indicating her racial identity.

"You...... Is it an elf?"

Cizer's mouth was a little dry, this was the first time he had seen an elven people, and he had heard that this race, both male and female, was characterized by their handsome appearance. Now that I look at it, it's true.

"It was, but now it ......"

The breeze blew across the lake, then the leaves of the golden laurel tree, and in the sound of a rustling wave, the second half of the woman's words were quietly drowned.

Cizer slowly approached the white-gauze woman, and did not stop until the position by the lake, still wary of the sudden appearance of the elves.

"As far as I know, this secret realm was abandoned by the elves a long time ago. So why are you staying here?"

Cizer's words seemed to touch the sore spot of the white-gauze woman, and I saw a light full of sadness flash in her eyes, although it disappeared quickly, but it was still discovered by the sharp-eyed Cizer at a glance.

"I want to go too, how nice it is to follow everyone...... If only I could get out of here. ”

The woman in the white gauze said softly, the voice seemed to be like the wind, ethereal and thin, and if you were not careful, it would slip away from your ears.

"I can only stay in this lake, and I won't tell you the specific reason. If you can talk to me, I can consider giving you a little favor. You must know that the lake under my feet was the sacred place of our elven clan at the beginning, and they left in a hurry, and there were still a lot of treasures left. ”

"Is it really possible?" Cizer was a little incredulous, could the treasure be so easy to get his hands on?

"Of course, those things are mine!" the woman in the white veil raised a proud little face, and it was only then that Cizer realized that she was about the same size as herself, and looked less than eighteen.

"Okay then, what are you going to talk about?"

Cizer didn't care anymore, now he was very open-minded. It's just a conversation with a girl, what are you afraid of? It's best to have a treasure, and if you don't have it, you don't have anything to lose.

The white gauze girl, oh no, she should be called the white gauze girl.

The white-gauze girl slowly floated in front of Cizer, thought for a moment, and asked.

"By the way, do you know how to play chess?"

The expression on Cizer's face suddenly stiffened, and it took a long time to turn slowly. He had lived a poor life since he was a child, so where did he have the spare money to learn this? After he went to the academy, he was busy with cultivation all day long, and he didn't have the time and energy to fix all these things.

Diablo felt similar, not looking like a chess player. As for Auston...... He probably would, right? After all, those ladies like to go to chess-related parties.

"No, it's okay, I'll teach you, it's easy!" The white-gauze girl was interested, and her mouth hadn't been closed since she opened her grin.

"Look at it. This is a chariot, this is an elephant, this is a horse, this is a soldier......"

Cizer could only smile bitterly at this, while studying painfully, while complaining in his heart, what kind of game would anyone with an idle stomach ache like!

......

In an empty room at the Holy Sword Academy, there were dozens of people gathered around a table of chess, watching the two play against each other.

"It's a loss. ”

After putting down the chess pieces in his hand, a young man with an inch head said this sentence unwillingly, and then left the scene gloomily, leaving only everyone with a back.

The other chess player, who was originally sitting in front of him, smiled gracefully, carefully put away the endgame on the chessboard, and then raised his voice.

"Is there anyone else who wants to come and ask for advice?"

This man was none other than Auston. At this time, he looked personable on the surface, but the corner of his eye was aimed at several famous beauties in the academy, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly, revealing a mysterious smile.

At that moment, his smile suddenly stiffened, and then he sneezed loudly in front of everyone.

"Ah...... Ahh

The girls who had been looking at Auston with longing couldn't help laughing, and there was no more such flickering light in their eyes. When Auston found out about this, he couldn't help but curse in his heart.

What kind of guy with no eyes is chewing on the root of his tongue behind his back? Don't let me find out!

Auston swore secretly that he had already sentenced himself to death for the guy who had disturbed his further friendship with his female classmates.

Hmph, waiting!
