The bottom of the lake was also pitch-dark, and the line of sight was completely blocked. Angel quickly built a hexagonal model in the thinking space. With the slight push of magic power, a white light ball appeared out of thin air in the mask of the purification field, like a bright lamp, illuminating the surroundings.
This is an O-level magic light spell.
In the past two months, he made up most of the common tricks, including the light art that he disdained to learn in the past and felt that it was a waste of time.
Brightness only has the effect of light, and the light it emits is not bright, similar to torches, at most it can illuminate two or three meters around. However, torches cannot be used underwater, and light spells do not have this restriction.
In fact, there is also an advanced trick in the Brightness Technique, which is called the Shining Technique. It can illuminate a range of tens of meters, but the flashing technique is a level 1 trick. If you want to learn, you need to accumulate the corresponding knowledge. It takes a long time to study to learn, and Angel has no plans to study for the time being.
With the light technique, the dark and cold lake water finally had a little brightness.
Looking around in the dim light, unknown black scum floated in the water, and he also found some strange black silk threads, like human hair, floating quietly in the water.
Looking at the mass of black hair wrapped together, even if there is a separation of the purification force field, Angel can still imagine how disgusting the smell is.
The lake is not deep, about four or five meters, and Angel quickly reached the bottom of the lake. The bottom of the lake was full of unknown black paint-like things. At first he thought it was a native resource of petroleum, but he wrapped a part of the black paint with a magic ball into the purification field, and the nauseating rancid smell filled the tip of his nose in an instant.
Not oil. Angel pondered for a long time, and judging from his experience, he didn't know what this thing was, so he could only give up.
The bottom of the lake is not deep, which also proves one thing. In the past, it was impossible for villagers to live on this water alone. This lake may have been living water in the past, but it is now blocked for some unknown reason.
With this idea in mind, Angel began to search for possible blocked pipes in the dark bottom of the water.
Every few steps, a "wind tornado" agitated from Angel's palm and rolled up the dregs at the bottom of the water. The bottom of the lake began to shake violently, and many things hidden in the dregs were lifted out.
Angel has been maintaining the purification force field, temporarily blocking the sewage and dregs, and adding the light technique, so he can clearly see many strange things.
For example, a dilapidated small iron box flashed by in front of Angel.
He quickly captured the iron box and dragged it into the mask of the purification field. Angel guessed that the iron box had not been opened for a long time. He was afraid that opening the package would lead to qualitative changes in the contents, so he also learned how to behave. Instead of trying to open the iron box, he put his mental tentacles in and observed the internal situation.
The images returned by the mental power tentacles surprised Angel. Judging by the delicacy and airtightness of the box, he thought it was a kind of decorative treasure, but the box contained almost undamaged medical equipment, such as Syringes, vials, syringes and the like.
Angel thought for a while, used the cleansing technique to clean up the dregs outside the small iron box, then used the cleansing technique to remove the smell, and finally put it into the bracelet.
The reason why the box was not discarded is that the medical equipment in Angel now has a strange sign—
A snake hovers over a long circular cone.
This sign may reveal some information about the village here.
As the "wind tornado" went down one after another, the dark objects that had been buried for nearly a thousand years by time surfaced one by one. Among them, there are even a few bones with their heads still undamaged.
No one's corpse was seen in the village. Angel thought that everyone here had escaped, but it didn't seem to be the case now. He only cleaned a corner of the bottom of the lake, and there were 8 corpses. If you look at the area of the entire lake, how many corpses have sunk at the bottom of the lake
Shouldn't the entire village be dead at the bottom of the lake
Thinking of this possibility, Angel was a little horrified. No wonder this lake smelled so bad. Thousands of years of dead lakes and countless corpses, it is strange to smell good.
Angel jumped out of the lake with the bones, placed the bones by the lake, and began to examine them one by one.
When all the 8 corpses were examined, Angel's face showed a smile. After his careful inspection, these skeletons were determined to be human, not humanoid. And according to the distribution of height and bone size, Angel judged that these may be known people and belong to the mainstream human genus in the southern region.
This answer made Angel more convinced that he might not have left the wizarding world.
Other planes are not without humans, but most of them are mortal beings, not ordinary humans. Angel was certain that these skeletons were once ordinary people. In addition, although the deserted village in the center of the earth is very wonderful, after Angel's search during this period of time, it can be roughly judged that there should be no ordinary things in the village.
A village full of ordinary humans can never appear outside the wizarding world!
Since he is still in the wizarding world, what is Angel worried about? As long as you never leave, there is always a way to go back.
Angel used his magic hand to dig a huge pit and put 8 corpses into the pit. He maintained basic respect for the dead.
Angel did not bury it immediately, but continued to set off waves at the bottom of the lake.
As he expected, the whole bottom of the lake was like a mass grave, and he picked up the corpses one by one, men and women, old and young, among them, the skeleton of a baby was held in his mother's arms. Looking at this mother and son's skeleton, which seemed to be full of maternal love, but was indifferent, Angel had mixed feelings in his heart.
It is impossible for a baby to actively ask for death, so this corpse seems to prove one thing: the people here may all be murdered or killed by suicide.
Not to mention the murder, if it is suicide, Angel does not understand what kind of emotion this mother is carrying, would rather die than carry a baby
"Hey..." With a soft sigh, the past has long been buried in time, and no one can tell why. The feelings of mortals, because their lives are too short, are more passionate and agitated. This is a kind of fiery that wizards with long lifespans lack.
Perhaps a thousand years ago, there was a bloody disaster here. or-
Angel looked back to a certain part of the village, where there was a long-standing nest, where colorful dragonflies made their homes. Angel didn't know if it was their visit that caused the problem here.
However, who can clarify what happened a thousand years ago
One by one, the bones, like piles of hills, were dragged out by Angel from the bottom of the lake and thrown into the giant pit. What he didn't know was that while he was doing these things, a golden vertical pupil was quietly staring at him in a secret place at the bottom of the lake.
In the end, Angel swept out nearly 100 corpses from the bottom of the lake. This number seems to be a lot, but according to the scale of the village, there should be more than 100 people living there.
"Maybe some of the remaining people escaped from the village?" Angel guessed.
Angel spent a long time cleaning the bottom of the lake, and almost all the corpses were taken out, but what he was looking for was an "underground passage" that proved that the lake was once a living water lake, but it was not found.
"Could it be that my guess was wrong? In fact, there are other sources of water in this deserted village? Is this lake simply built to look good?"
But who would go out of their way to build a backwater lake for people to see
Or, this lake is actually the tomb of the villagers? Did they end their lives with water burials
Angel was guessing, but he couldn't get an answer, and he couldn't find an exit. He could only leave the bottom of the lake and bury the corpses first.
There were too many corpses, and the potholes were a little small at the beginning. Angel directed Toby, and violently smashed a larger pit nearby, and then put the corpses into it one by one.
When the soil was covered, Angel also found a large stone, melted it into a tablet by hot-melting, and engraved a neat row of generic texts with his magical hand:
"In an unnamed deserted village, more than a hundred corpses have been buried in the lake. Now a monument is erected for sacrifice."
"Monument erector: Angel Pat."
As the inscription was erected, Angel began to wonder if there was another way? In fact, there is a stupid way to dig a road by himself, but he doesn't know the location of the infrastructure in the center of the earth. If he accidentally digs a landslide, it will be bad.
At this moment, Angel suddenly heard a gurgling sound from the lake behind him.
He turned his head and saw that there was a whirlpool on the lake? !
How could Angel not know what the whirlpool on the lake meant, with a happy look on his face, he greeted Toby to come back, and then plunged into the lake.
Angel came directly to the whirlpool. He was surprised to find that a dark hole suddenly appeared at the bottom of the lake.
It was this abrupt hole that caused the vortex to emerge.
"I didn't see a hole here before?" Angel looked puzzled, and then began to recall the previous situation here.
But after thinking about it for a long time, he didn't think of any useful information. Because the bottom of the lake is too dark, even if there is a light technique, it can only illuminate two or three meters nearby. In addition, the bottom of the lake is uneven, and it is all black paint-like things. It is normal for him to not remember.
"Maybe it was because the wind tornado was used to lift up the hole, and when the villagers were buried, the last layer of membrane was pressed through because of the water pressure?" Angel had no other guesses. , and there is no one else here, and can only make such a guess.
As for whether the undead are at work... This Angel can still tell the difference, he did not feel the fluctuations of the undead here. In addition, the probability of ordinary people becoming a soul body and surviving is too low. Now that a thousand years have passed, it is impossible for the undead to exist.
When the bottom of the lake was calm again, Angel carefully stepped into the dark hole.
Unknown entrance, unknown way, no one knows what the road ahead is, all Angel can do now is to be on full guard.
"Toby, you also pay attention to your vigilance!" Angel also reminded Toby, but when he turned to look at Toby, he found that Toby's eyes were very solemn.
"Toby?" Angel asked suspiciously.
Toby gestured to Angel twice: "Gurgling."
"You said, you're going out?" Angel was a little surprised, wasn't Toby always the most clean? It's not good to stay in the purification field, and have to go out to touch the dirty and rancid water
