Chapter 146: Moonlight Lake

Simon and Ace looked at each other, and they both saw confusion in each other's eyes.

Apparently, they did not hear anything like that.

But after a little thought, Ace seemed to understand something. He immediately walked up to Jennifer and said softly, "Jennifer, don't be afraid. You tell me first. What other strange things did they say?"

Jennifer was pale and visibly scared. She sobbed twice and said, "They say they will turn into evil spirits and harm the whole ancient forest, they don't want to be evil spirits, they want to be reborn!"

Ace whispered, "Looks like they're looking for you."

Still at a loss, Simon hurriedly asked Ace, "What do you know?" Tell me!"

Simon is mainly responsible for her safety by following Jennifer all the way this time. If Simon had any problems, how could he go back and explain to the Elemental King?

Ace looked at Jennifer, "When Jennifer was in Terraria, this ghost cavalry patrolled around Terraria. Now Jennifer is here, and the Ghost Cavalry is coming."

"Besides, Jennifer could hear their requests, but no one else could hear them. So it's almost certain that these ghosts are following Jennifer."

After hearing Ace's words, Jennifer suddenly became even more panicked: "What should I do? I don't understand at all. What do they want me to do? Help them with their rebirth? What should I do?"

Ace didn't understand this either. When he first heard about the Ghost Cavalry, his first reaction was that these ghosts were related to the death of the Demon Dragon.

Because Gaia once said that it once controlled the death of all living things in the world. After being "killed" by the Allies, the ghosts in the world cannot be transformed, and can only wander back and forth between heaven and earth.

So Ace thinks that the Ghost Cavalry was formed because of the death of the Demon Dragon.

However, now that Gaia has completed his rebirth, why haven't these wandering ghosts been transformed? Ace really didn't understand.

Jennifer's tone was very anxious: "What should I do? Their shouts are getting louder and louder, and I can't stand them anymore!"

Ace hurriedly asked, "Can you talk to them and ask how we can help them with their rebirth?"

Jennifer was scared and said, "No, I don't dare!"

Ace grabbed Jennifer by the shoulder and said, "Jennifer, you have to face your fears and face them bravely. Only then will you be able to help them and give them a new life! You must know that you are an elemental princess. In the future, you will encounter even greater difficulties and obstacles. If you can't overcome your fears, how will the Elemental Clan prosper in the future under your leadership?"

Simon originally wanted to stop Ace's words and actions, but after some ideological struggle, he still decided to wait and see.

Over the years, under his protection, Jennifer has hardly encountered any difficulties and dangers. She does need a bit of grinding.

Now, it is definitely good to take this opportunity and let this element make the princess grow.

With Ace's encouragement and comfort, Jennifer gradually calmed down. She wiped the corners of her eyes and whispered, "Okay, I'll try."

With that, Jennifer took two steps forward and came to the outermost side of the watchtower.

However, when she saw the ghost general in silver scales and light armor again, she couldn't help but retreat, turning her face to the side, not daring to look any further.

But he quickly stopped his retreat and looked back again, looking at the ghost cavalry below.

At this time, she still heard a loud and terrifying cry for help.

Jennifer slowly closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and her heart quickly calmed down.

As she gradually let go of the fear in her heart, she heard a clearer appeal.

A little later, Jennifer opened her eyes again. At that time, her mood changed significantly. There was no fear or confusion before, very calm and composed.

"Can you hear me clearly?" Ace hurriedly asked.

Jennifer nodded, "I heard you clearly, they said that after their death, there was an extremely terrible force that controlled them, leaving them in a state of soul and unable to get rid of."

"They also say that they are not really dead, but that their souls have separated from their bodies, forming a ghost cavalry that has been roaming back and forth in the ancient forest."

Ace was surprised. "What does it mean that they didn't really die?"

Before Ace could figure it out, Jennifer continued, "They don't know what that powerful force is, only that it comes from the southern part of the Ancient Forest."

"The southern part of the Ancient Forest?" Ace turned to look south. "That's the Dwarven Kingdom! What's so special there?"

At this point, Ace's mind was a little confused and he didn't know what was going on.

Ace put aside his doubts for a moment and asked again, "Did they say how you helped them with their rebirth?"

Jennifer replied, "Yes, their bodies have decayed, so if we want to help them complete their rebirth, we need to help them find a new body."

"A new body?" Ace couldn't help but frown.

Where to find new bodies? You can't find more than 30 people, kill them all, and bring these ghost cavalry back to life, can you?

"They also say that if they are not resurrected, they will soon become evil spirits and may kill more creatures." When Jennifer said this, her tone was already low.

She also knew very well that she could not kill other elemental envoys for no reason to help them come back to life.

Simon was helpless: "Found more than two dozen new corpses? It's not going to be easy!"

Faced with such a request, Ace was at a loss. The reason why he was able to help the dragon Gaia complete his rebirth was mainly because Gaia's dragon's soul and body were well preserved, so he succeeded in achieving Gaia's rebirth.

And the ghost cavalry in front of them, whose bodies have rotted, how can they complete their rebirth?

While everyone was overwhelmed, Jennifer seemed to hear something again and listened carefully.

"They say that at the bottom of the holy lake, there are dozens of intact corpses made by ancient elements. If they can come up with 25 corpses, they can be reborn." Jennifer said.

"Sacred Lake?" Ace touched his chin. This time, he travels to the ancient forest and heads to Moonlight Lake in search of clues about Hades.

Since this ghost cavalry mentioned the Holy Lake, it is even more important to go to the bottom of the lake.

Ace immediately said, "You tell them to wait for two days, and then I'll go check on the situation at the Holy Lake."

Jennifer immediately conveyed what Ace meant, but seeing Jennifer's expression, it seemed that the communication was not very good.

Jennifer smiled wryly and said, "They say you're just a human and can't trust you."

Ace said calmly, "Now, they have no choice but to trust me. I have every reason to refuse their request, don't I?"

Ace was really helpless. The elements make too deep a prejudice against humans.

After making his decision, Ace looked west. Now all he has to do is get to Moonlight Lake as soon as possible.

After Jennifer explained, the Ghost Cavalry slowly retreated.

The terrifying black flames around it also dissipated.

Watching the ghost cavalry leave, Ace and Simon couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Ace frowned, thinking: these ghosts seem to be angry. They have definitely suffered a lot in the last few years. Otherwise, as the princess of the Elemental Envoy family, how could Jennifer not be respected by these ghost cavalry?

In particular, the cavalry leader Leonardo da Vinci Kyle has a magic sword that makes the elements "green" around his waist. As a commander who values the Elemental Envoy very much about honor, how could he not respect the Elemental Envoy Princess Jennifer?

"It seems that they have a deep grievance in their hearts." Ace couldn't help but whisper to himself.

Such a strange thing happened that night that Ace and the others couldn't sleep peacefully.

As the sky brightened, the smoke in the ancient forest quickly dissipated.

Through the dense foliage, the sun dappled the courtyard.

Early in the morning, Ace prepares to leave for Moonlight Lake.

Now he has another task

That is to look for the well-preserved ancient elements made corpses in Moonlight Lake.

Early in the morning, many elemental envoys had not yet woken up from their sleep, but Ace and the others had already reached the door.

Looking at the tired expression on Jennifer's face, Ace couldn't help but say, "Jennifer, you can stay here and come back when we finish our work."

Although Jennifer's face was tired, her eyes were firm: "No! I have to go to the Holy Lake."

Not sure why. Ace always felt that this guy looked a little different than before, she wasn't so naïve anymore.

Ace looked at Simon and saw the other nod. Ace sighed helplessly, "Okay, if you're tired from the trip, please let me know. Don't force it too hard."

In this way, the team led by Yarrow came to a winding mountain.

This time, Simon specifically asked ten elemental guards to stay in the Nikko Courtyard. After all, such a strange thing happened last night. He feared that it would cause panic in the village. Keeping the Elemental Guards in the Solar Garden can also make the Elemental Guards there feel a little at ease.

After Yarrow pointed out the cliff path for Ace and the others, he returned to the Sun Garden.

Ace and the others moved on.

To Ace's surprise, even though Jennifer still looks tired, she doesn't complain along the way. Despite the sweat on his forehead, he did not cry because of fatigue.

Following the path near the cliffs, Ace and the others avoided the towering mountains. He hopes to reach Moonlight Lake this afternoon.

Ace is not afraid of the abyss under his feet. After all, he often flies very high, so there is no fear of heights.

Looking back at Simon, as a great elemental envoy, he can turn into a night owl and fly into the sky, so he will not be afraid of such heights.

Jennifer is a child of nature. Many of the animals in the forest will obey her call, so she has no problem.

On the contrary, the ten elements make it rare for the guards to come to such a high place, and the side of the body is a cliff, which makes them feel very uncomfortable, so the walking speed is the slowest.

"We'd better hurry up and get there first. In any case, they should know the location of Moonlight Lake. Let them catch up on their own." Ace said to Simon.

Simon glanced at the trembling elemental envoy guard behind him, and couldn't help but shake his head, "Well, if it continues like this, the speed is really too slow, and there is no point in taking shortcuts."

After saying that, Simon gave a few words of advice to the ten elemental envoy guards behind him, and sped up his movements with Ace and Jennifer.

In fact, Simon is still ashamed of them. After all, the elemental guards have always been known for being brave and good at fighting. Unexpectedly, they were afraid of heights. If it is spread, it will really let the elements disgrace the Guard.

After getting rid of the elemental drag on the guards, Ace's three people more than doubled their travel speed?

Simon transforms into a bird and flies freely in the air, not leaning against a cliff.

Jennifer summoned a snow-white eagle and led him over the mountains.

Ace didn't use dragon wings, but just used "extreme speed" to reach a very terrifying speed.

In this way, the three of them came to the vicinity of Moonlight Lake in nearly three hours.

Ace stood on a towering tree, looking at the beautiful black lake in the distance. He felt that the sacred lake was like a brilliant jewel set in the dense forest of ancient forests.

At this point, Jennifer chases the eagle away, and Simon transforms back into an elemental. Both of them fell to the ground.

As soon as Ace jumped, he floated from the tree next to Jennifer.

All three chose to walk on the last leg of the journey. After all, as the sacred lake of the elemental envoys, the Moonlight Lake has always been guarded by the elemental envoys.

If the trio had flown over Moonlight Lake without prior notice, it could have been seen as a provocation.

To know that the Elemental makes the best at bows and arrows. Ten thousand arrows are fired at once, and the power is amazing!

The three of them walked along a path in the forest, and soon reached the camp where the elemental envoys were stationed.

The elemental commander saw was the High Priest and Princess Jennifer. Naturally, he was very surprised.

Seeing Ace again, he was even more confused. It is unknown why a human would appear near the Elemental Sacred Lake.

"Commander Zialo, we have obtained permission from His Majesty the Elemental Envoy to bring Ace to the Sacred Lake and let him enter the Sacred Lake to check on the situation." Simon said.

The Commander of the Elemental Command named Zialo touched his beard and said, "There are very terrible creatures in the Sacred Lake, humans. I think you should know."

For Ace, the Elemental Commander did not call him by his name, but instead called him "human", which is enough to show that Zialo does not trust Ace and does not want to be near him.

Ace nodded, "Of course I'm well aware of this, but I still have to go down and have a look before I can leave with peace of mind."

Zialo turned and gave way: "Please."

Although Zialo's attitude towards Ace is not good, the elemental makes the most basic etiquette still exist.

Ace follows Zialo to the beautiful and mysterious lake.

When Ace came to the lake, he felt very uncomfortable, as if a pair of eyes were staring at him in the dark.

He couldn't help but look back at the others and see nothing unusual about them. He seems to be the only one who has this strange feeling.

"Is this my hallucination?" Ace couldn't help but think.

But after listening to Zialo's words behind him, he said: "Our regiment has been here for the third year, and the next round of rotation will take place in a few months, and in these three years, we have not found anything abnormal."

"However, when we first arrived, we heard a regiment guard say that something strange had happened here, such as the lake rising to the ground but not overflowing, or a dull sound at the bottom of the water, like someone beating a war drum."

"The legend of Moonlight Lake never stops. It's mostly about evil spirits. But in any case, we never saw it with our own eyes."

"However, we think there are some terrifying existences in the lake, after all, all the high-level demonic beasts dared to enter the lake and did not come back."

After listening to Zialo's story, Ace tilted his head slightly and looked at the big lake beside him.

Strangely, from a distance, this moonlit lake is black and almost crystal clear.

When you look closely, it's dark and you can't see what's underneath.

This phenomenon really baffled Ace.

It may be for this reason that those high-level magical beasts mistakenly thought that there was no danger under the water and jumped into the lake.

Ace looked at the vast surface of the lake, but did not see any ripples. Although it was not very windy today, there was still an occasional light breeze, but there was not a trace on the water.

His intuition told him that there must be something special under the water that affected the entire holy lake.

Seeing Ace frowning, Zialo looked at Ace with a smile and said, "What? Scared?"

Ace didn't care too much about this, but turned to Simon and Jennifer and said, "You can wait here first, and I'll go down and find out the truth first."

"Are you going to be in the water so soon? Don't you need a break?" Jennifer said with some concern.

The three of them had just gone through a long journey, and Ace had not relied on external forces, but completely relied on his own magic and physical strength to get here.

In Jennifer's opinion, Ace should be very tired by now.

But the reality is that as a dark magician, Ace's magical and spiritual powers have quickly recovered. So he didn't feel tired at all.

Ace smiled and shook his head. "No need."

Zialo sneered, "I declare in advance, if you die in the Holy Lake today, we will not be responsible!"

Ace smiled calmly, "You can rest assured, since I dare to come here today, I have made certain preparations!" So you don't have to bear any consequences."

There was a hint of contempt in Zialo's eyes: "Since you have already said it, then go ahead, we will not stop you from looking for death!"

Jennifer, who was on the other side, couldn't take it anymore and said in a deep voice, "Zialo, you want to see Ace die here, do you?"

Zialo smiled coldly, "Your Highness the Princess

I didn't say that. But that's what I have to say. Since he has said that we are not responsible, I can only answer when His Majesty the Elemental Envoy asks me, right?"

Jennifer snorted coldly, but she was worried, worried that something would really happen to Ace.

Ace looked at the calm water of the lake, took a deep breath, and then jumped onto the surface of the lake in a perfect arc, "plopping" into the lake.

Shockingly, even so, the lake did not splash much water, and soon returned to calm, reflecting the blue sky.

After falling into the lake, Ace immediately touched the white dragon ball in his hand.

The lake that had completely surrounded Ace was quickly pushed away by an invisible force. A water shield appeared on Ace's body, which was used to protect him.

In this way, Ace can breathe freely in the water without problems, at least for a long time.

Ace took out a scroll of fire magic and gently crushed it. A warm yellow flame flickered around him. His wet clothes quickly dried completely.

After all this, Ace couldn't help but look around, only to find that it was pitch black and he couldn't see anything.

At this point, he could only use the faint light of the white dragon balls, barely seeing the slow-flowing water around the water shield.

Ace scratched his eyes with his fingers and recited the dragon mantra. When he opened his eyes, the white light was already shining on him.

He looked around again and saw that there was no life at all. According to Zialo and others, this moonlight lake should have some mysterious and unknown powerful life.

Ace is already a magister. In addition, he has a dragon heritage. His search skills can cover an area of up to two or three miles.

But even then, he still didn't find any life.

This made Ace feel a little uneasy.

Because his original plan was to do a test first. If he felt a very powerful lifeform after entering the water, he simply could not compete with it, so he could only retreat back to the shore without hesitation.

If the perceived life is not too strong, he will continue to explore in the lake. After all, he now has two very important tasks.

But what he never imagined was that he didn't notice any life at all. This put him in a dilemma.

Ace couldn't help but look up and find that he couldn't see any light on the surface of the lake.

An inexplicable fear gradually formed, which made Ace more and more nervous.

He couldn't help but put a finger out of the water shield to test it.

This stretch of hand directly changed Ace's expression.

When the light was very dim and Ace's night vision was very limited, he didn't notice anything unusual at first.

But when he stretched out his finger to test, he felt the water flowing upward.

What does that mean? This shows that Ace is constantly descending towards the bottom of the water at this time, and the speed is very fast!

Ace was a little flustered. He's been in the water for a few minutes now.

If Ace had been falling at this speed during this time, it would mean that Ace had now fallen at least a dozen miles.

When looking down from the water, it is almost a shallow clear lake and not deep.

But when Ace does fall into the water, he discovers that the depth of this moonlight lake has really reached an incomprehensible level.

Obviously, everything seen on the surface of the lake should be some kind of hallucination, or there is a special array around the surface of the lake that confuses everyone on the lake.

Ace's heart was beating fast. His first instinct is to take control of the White Dragon Ball and bring him back to the lake.

But he gave up after a few attempts because the white dragon balls seemed to be out of control and no longer following their own ideas.

After a few deep breaths, Ace slowly calmed down. Now that the situation is such that he cannot continue to panic. Only a clear head can come up with a solution.

As his mood gradually stabilized, Ace's heartbeat gradually slowed down, and his mood suddenly calmed down a lot.

"Since I can't control the Dragon Ball, I can only follow it for a while, but the further down I go, the more the lake will be

The more pressure there is, if it goes on like this, when the pressure reaches a certain level, the water shield may fail, and then I will not be able to resist the terrible water pressure."
