Chapter 11: Crying in the middle of the night

"Don't think about it, Lord Baron is in good health, and it's fine." The emir knew from the look on Herag's face that he was wrong.

"Why is that?" Khrag asked.

"Simon of Bechard is said to have contacted a mysterious wizard." The emir said in a deep voice.

"Wizard? Does it really exist? Herag was immediately interested.

"I haven't seen it with my own eyes, but it should exist, otherwise Lord Baron wouldn't be so eager to ask for help." Emir said.

He took a sip of his wine and continued, "The Baron and Simon's family are feuds, and they can never be resolved. Some time ago, after Simon's youngest son fell to his death in a horse race, he went completely insane and firmly believed that the Baron was the ghost. ”

"Lord Baron is a great knight, and ordinary people can't deal with him at all. Simon probably thought of this and contacted the wizard, but he didn't know what price he paid. ”

"After the Baron learned the news through Neiying, there was a marriage with Duke Tulip. With Duke Tulip's face, presumably the wizard should not attack the baron. ”

"With the Baron, the people of the realm will be safe."

"So, how can I be with Melissa? The Baron also said that I am not suitable for her and cannot be together. This marriage must succeed, and I fled here to avoid any repercussions to the marriage. ”

"By the way, do you know why I brought you here?" As if drunk, the emir said to himself.

"Because if I don't bring you here, Lord Baron might get rid of you. On the training ground that day, you overheard me talking to Melissa. The Baron is a ruthless man, and he can get rid of anyone who might affect the marriage. It's safest for you to come with me to the pumpkin farm. ”

"I see." Herag didn't expect such a reason to do this.

"And does Melissa know all this?" Khrag asked.

The emir shook her head: "She doesn't know, maybe she will know later." ”

"When is the wedding?"

The emir tilted his head and finished the wine in his glass: "In a month's time, the Baron will send Melissa to the province of Limur for a wedding. ”

According to the custom here, due to the lower status of Baron Baron, the bride needs to be sent to the man's house for the wedding. On the day of the wedding, a wedding banquet will be held at the castle to thank your relatives and friends.

The two drank late into the night, when a strong wind blew outside the house, causing the door to clang.

"Uh......h Woohoo......"

The emir suddenly put down his glass and said, "This rumor ...... How does it look like someone is crying? ”

Herag laughed, "You are drunk, the wind blows like this." ”

"No, listen carefully." The emir looked serious.

Seeing that he was so earnest, Herag began to listen.

"Woo...... Woowoo...... Ah......h

Herag took a deep breath, and he confirmed that he had indeed heard someone crying.

"Massimo said that no matter what he hears at night, he can't go out. It seems that there is indeed something strange here, and those guards who disappeared before may not have encountered wild beasts. The emir's face was solemn.

"It's really weird, but it's better not to act rashly. Massimo has been here safe and sound for so many years, which means that there should be no problem if he does not go out. Herag analyzed.

"Tomorrow we'll go around and take a look." Anyway, the emir decided to investigate the matter, but he would not go out at night.

Herag went back to his room, and lay on the bed and became sleepy through the wine.

The howling of the cold wind by the window continued, and the crying mixed with the wind never stopped.

But everything is like Massimo said, it's okay if you don't go out.

The next morning, both of them were safe and sound.

The weather was fine today, and Massimo was lying on a chair basking in the sun, looking very laid-back.

"Massimo, did you hear any crying last night?" The emir decided to ask the old man who had been here for forty years first.

"What?" Massimo didn't hear clearly.

As the emir approached, he asked again.

"Crying?" "You're talking about the wind," Massimo recalled, "I heard it when I was younger, and I never heard it again when my back ear hurt." Now that I'm older, it's hard to listen to you, and I can't hear any rumors. ”

Hellag smiled and motioned for the emir to go out and have a look.

The pumpkin farm was surrounded by mountains, and they couldn't determine which direction the cry from last night was coming from, so they had to walk around to see if there was anything out of the ordinary.

Herag galloped on horseback on the plain, looking at the snow-capped mountains in the distance, and felt a sense of relief in his heart.

"Let's go north first." The emir looked at the map and decided to go north first.

To the north is a snow-capped mountain, and at the foot of the mountain there is a lake, the water of which is so deep that you can't see the bottom clearly.

"It's a strange lake, it's only in the winter every year, and the rest of the time it's dry." Emir introduced by the lake.

"So weird?" Herag looked at the calm surface of the lake and saw nothing out of the ordinary.

He squatted on the edge of the lake, looking at the bottom of the lake and suddenly felt a little strange.

"A little dizzy?" He noticed that he felt slightly dizzy when he stared at the bottom of the lake.

"There's something weird about this lake."

He leaned down a little, and his instincts told him there was something at the bottom of the lake.

A miserable white face appeared on the water, unable to see men and women, and the eyes were empty and without eyeballs.

"Warning! Warn! ”

"Unknown radiant energy detected! Impact unknown! ”

"Herag! Wake up! ”

Herag found himself asleep at some point, and the emir shook him with a solemn face.

"What's wrong with me?" Herag wondered.

"You fainted by the lake just now, and it took you half a day to wake up." Emir explained.

"Fainted?" "By the way, I just saw a man at the bottom of the lake, and it looks like the kind of ...... that has been in the water for a long time."

The emir did not doubt his words, but cautiously pulled Herag back: "I just looked at the bottom of the lake, but I didn't find anything out of the ordinary. But if you faint by the lake, it's a sign that there's something weird here. I couldn't see anything, but my gut told me it was dangerous. Let's go, don't come here again. ”

Emir had no intention of finding out, he was curious, but also sensible, and would never touch anything beyond his power.

"Unknown radiant energy...... "Herag flipped through the dark blue hints, wondering what this unknown radiant energy was.

"It has been detected that the radiation energy is in line with the constitution, and it has been stored in the body, and the method of use is unknown, and there is a lack of effective information."

"Mental power is increased by 0.3."

When Herag saw these two pieces of information, his heart moved, and it was the first time he had seen a change in his mental power.

At present, the food and cultivation methods that I am exposed to can only increase my strength, agility, and physique, and my mental power has never changed.

He had never seen anyone with high mental power, and a great knight like Baron Buck was only 1.3.

"Query body data."

"Herag Merlin: Strength 2.0, Dexterity 1.6, Constitution 2.2, Spirit 1.5."
