After leaving Blackstone Prison, Roy returned to the Lord's Mansion with the three witches.

The information he learned from Lord Denham made him further confirm that the purpose of the second prince's attack on the Black Stone Leader was Star Lake.

The Frontier Duke's letter said, "Don't go deep into the bottom of Star Lake, where even the Golden Knight may die", and the second prince's request to Lord Denham is to "bring the people to celebrate around Star Lake this year's Pungyang Festival".

The "attention" of the two of them to Star Lake shows that in the past, in the eyes of the old lord of Blackstone, it was only a resource point for producing low-purity magic crystals, and Star Lake was by no means as simple as it seemed on the surface, which made Roy can't help but have the idea of taking a good look in his heart.

Of course, he knew the truth of "listening to people's advice to eat well", so he didn't think about going deep into the Star Lake now, he just wanted to go to the periphery of the Star Lake to investigate first.

Until now, Roy hadn't seen Star Lake in person.

Today is three days away from the Pungyang Festival.

Although it is not clear what the purpose of the second prince asked Lord Denham to lead the people to the celebration around Star Lake during the Fengyang Festival, now that Lord Denham has failed to try to seize the Black Stone Domain, if the second prince still wants to carry out some kind of action on the day of the Fengyang Festival, then he will definitely not let go of these last three days.

The so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is a hundred battles. The second prince is far away in the empire, and there is no way to investigate, and there is an extreme lack of intelligence, but the star lake is so close, at least it can be arranged in advance.

After arranging the residences of Shanica, Lilia, and Vivien, the Witch of Light, on the edge of the courtyard where he lives, Roy beckons Lilia, the Shadow Witch, to set off with him to Star Lake.

As for the healing witch Shanica, she needs to stay in the Blackstone Territory to guard the knights of the Iron Mountain Lord, of course, more importantly, Roy always feels that Shanika is inexplicably a little "little dangerous" after completely removing the pollution and coming out of the bottom of the Blackstone Prison.

And Vivien, the witch of light, had just recovered from her semi-runaway state yesterday, and she shouldn't be able to move around all the time, so she still needs to rest more.

……

Star Lake, located six kilometers east of the Lord's Mansion, has clear and turquoise water, reflecting the starry sky at night.

The surrounding area of the Star Lake is a large area of dense forest, in which there are occasional beasts, and there are often hunters who come here to try their luck, if you can catch a white bear before the winter, then this year's cold winter will be much better.

Of course, the combat effectiveness of the white bear is extremely strong, and because of the approaching winter, it needs to store a lot of fat, and the desire to attack is stronger than usual, even if it is a formal knight, under normal circumstances, it will not be willing to face such a beast alone, between the hunter and the white bear, who is the hunter, who is the prey, it depends on each other's means.

Every year, the unlucky ones who die in the mouth of the white bear will always hear about them.

When Roy and Lilia, the Shadow Witch, made their way through the jungle to the shores of the Star Lake, it was nearly noon.

Under a large tree on the edge of the lake, the shadows are like fluids, condensing into the bodies of Roy and Lilia.

Roy lowered his head and looked at his body, surprise flashing in his eyes.

The first time you are moved by the power of shadows, it feels like entering a "special tunnel" and passing through it quickly.

In the shadows, there seems to be another world?

Roy thought in a vague way, and then, gathering his thoughts, he looked up and looked in front of him.

The sight in his eyes made his eyes widen slightly.

The Star Lake under the sun, the blue water of the lake shines with sparkling brilliance, and the ripples rippling in the breeze tug at people's heartstrings. A few fawns were lying on their stomachs by the lake drinking water, completely unaware of the two uninvited guests not far behind them.

"Is this Star Lake?"

The sudden sound made the frightened deer flee in panic.

Roy walked to the lake and looked at his own reflection in the water, his face full of amazement.

This is only the noon Star Lake, if it is rumored to be a Star Lake at night, how beautiful should it be?

Beside Roy, a light also appeared in the eyes of Lilia, the witch of shadows.

She had heard of the name of the Star Lake, but she had been coerced by Lord Denham to help her do things since she came to the Iron Mountain Territory, and she had never had the opportunity to come to the Star Lake to watch.

Although she is a witch, she is only a girl who is only in her teens, how can she not like beautiful things?

Noticing Lilia's reaction beside him, Roy, who came back to his senses, smiled knowingly, but didn't say anything, but walked to the side of Star Lake, squatted down, and stretched out his hand to hold a handful of lake water.

The water of the Star Lake was very clean and clear, but after perceiving it carefully, Roy narrowed his eyes slightly.

From the lake, he felt an extremely faint magic.

Such a low concentration of lake water containing magical power will not cause any harm to the body of living beings, and even drinking it for a long time can improve the physical fitness of living beings.

Red had told Roy about the supernatural nature of Star Lake.

However, the water of the Lake only changes in the week before the "Harvest Festival" every year, because this water is only effective for the official knights to drink once or twice, and he is worried that taking the lake water will affect the production of low-purity magic crystals, so over the years, the old lord of the Black Stone Leader has ordered that no one is allowed to come to the Star Lake to draw water when the "Harvest Festival" is approaching.

What Roy cared about was not the faint magic in the water of the Star Lake, what he cared about was the reason for this change.

The water of the Star Lake will contain a faint amount of magic, which means that there must be a source that exudes magic power.

And this source is most likely the purpose of the second prince, and it is also what the border duke said, something that can bring death to the golden knight in the depths of the lake.

Roy let go of his hand, the cool water of the lake flowed between his fingers, rippling round and round on the surface of the lake, and he stood up and stared at the lake, trying to see through the water what was at the bottom of the lake.

Unfortunately, the lake is too deep, even if it is very clear, it is not completely transparent after all, and under the obstruction of layers of impurities, all Roy can see is the blue water.

"Lilia, do you have any special feelings about this lake?" Roy tilted his head and looked at Lilia, the shadow witch beside him.

The Shadow Witch's strength is much stronger than him, and she may be able to perceive something different, maybe she can't tell.

Hearing Roy's words, Lilia closed her eyes and felt with all her might, and after a few seconds, she opened her eyes: "Lord Roy, apart from the extremely small amount of magic in the lake, there is nothing special about the Star Lake. ”

Roy thought for a moment and said, "Then can you sense which place has the highest concentration of lake magic?" ”

"This one does." Lilia, the shadow witch, nodded: "It's the location in the middle of the lake, and relatively speaking, the concentration of magic there is the highest. ”

"In the middle of the lake...... Roy said thoughtfully, "Let's go, let's row to the middle of the lake to see the situation." ”
