at dusk.
An elk sleigh rides across the thick snow.
Angel sat in the seat behind the sleigh car, carefully looking at the map in his hand. Next to him sat Nate, who was waving the reins vigorously at this time, making the elk run faster.
This is Tail Rat Street, with residents' houses on both sides. The windows are shining brightly, and the smoke from the chimneys is twisted and twisted by the heavy snow.
There weren't too many adults on both sides of the street, and they were basically children dressed like meat dumplings. While waiting for dinner, they were hilariously having a snowball fight with their companions.
When the elk sleigh car came over, the bear boy was not afraid at all, and even picked up snowballs from the ground and smashed it on the car.
Nate was enjoying the joy of the elk pulling the cart, and was inadvertently hit by a snowball directly on the face.
The bear boy who hit him next to him also giggled and laughed while pointing at the bridge of his nose.
If it was other nobles, it is estimated that they would have started to burn with anger at this time. But Nite is a wonderful flower among the nobles, wandering in the sea all the year round, and has more experience, so he is more tolerant.
Nate was not angry, but looked at the person beside him with trepidation. Although Lord Pat has always been kind and kind, will being offended by a child like this...
Nate suddenly froze.
Lord Pat wasn't angry because none of those snowballs hit him. Every snowball that flew over "naturally" bypassed him.
Moreover, not only was he not angry, but he also evoked a devilish smile, grabbed the snowballs flying in the air with lightning speed, and hit them back one by one.
The bear boy couldn't hit him, but that didn't mean he couldn't hit these live targets stuck in the snow.
Even though the sled was moving, he kept hitting the mark.
Almost every time the elk ran a distance, a popping sound could be heard behind it, which was the sound of a bear child being shot and falling.
On Tail Rat Street, which is just a few hundred meters away, Mr. Pat is like a snowball god of war. When he got off the bus, not only did he have no snow on his body, but he also smiled politely at the bear boy who was hit by him behind him. .
Then he spit out a word that made Nit's wind messy: "Accept!"
Amid the cries of the bear children, Angel came to a cedar tree with satisfaction. There is a public well here, but because there is no shortage of water resources for the time being, the well here has been blocked by a large stone.
"This is the twenty-sixth well, I hope you won't let me down." Angel stood by the well and murmured in a low voice.
Nate also came over at this time, looking at the serious-looking Lord Pat, and thinking about the smiling lore of the bear child before, it is impossible to imagine that this is the same person.
However, he now understands what Vice-Captain Helen said. Lord Pat is indeed very different from other extraordinary people.
When Nate shook his head, Angel was holding his forehead with a disappointed face: the mental strength tentacles probed down and went deep to the bottom, and there was nothing abnormal.
"I'll go down and see, you're waiting for me here." After Angel finished speaking to Nite, he lifted the sealing stone with his magical hand, then wrapped a thin water film and jumped into the well.
This is a diving well, and Angel quickly reached the bottom. It was the same as what he detected with his spiritual power, and there was no abnormality.
Angel reluctantly dived, and when he jumped out of the well, he brought a faint mist with him. This is because the temperature of the well water is warmer than the outside world, which is a natural phenomenon.
Nate looked at Lord Pat, who had a slightly dark expression, knowing that this time it was estimated that there was nothing to be gained.
He didn't know what Lord Pat was looking for, and he wouldn't ask more. Lord Pat is willing to say, he will naturally know. If you don't want to say it, but go forward to ask, it will definitely make the other party have a quarrel.
"Sir, are we going to the next place? I looked, and there are still four wells in Widow Street that have not been explored."
Angel is also thinking about it at this time. After screening and investigation, there are a total of 33 wells in the area he delimited that are more than 3,000 years old. Plus three wells whose year cannot be confirmed, there are a total of 36 wells. It's not too much, and if it's fast, it can be done in a day.
But now he has checked all the wells in the periphery, and the rest are locked in Lucas' residential area.
Logically speaking, it should most likely be the well where Lucas committed suicide, but when he went out for a walk the night before, these areas were hidden from the extraordinary.
If he broke in now, he might attract attention.
Angel was a little hesitant, should he go over and take a look.
"Speaking of which, there is a well in Widow Street. In the house of a good friend of mine, he is the son of the head of the Knights of the Western Expedition, and is currently a baron." Nate said while looking at the map.
When Angel heard this, his eyes lit up.
"Nit, the biggest purpose of my visit to Lost Music City this time is actually to find talented people. Since that friend of yours is the son of the knight, maybe he has some talent, so we can just go and test it."
Nate's face is stunned, is the talent of the knight's descendant high? Is there such a thing
Although Nate had doubts in his heart, he naturally did not dare to refute, nodded and continued his work as a sleigh driver.
Angel also knew that his reason was far-fetched. When he closed his eyes and rested his mind, he said softly: "Starting tomorrow, you can help me spread the news and find suitable talents. You should know the restrictions. The place to test talents is just At... your house."
Nate's expression was happy, and the test at his house was an indirect indication that the New Ross family had a relationship with a wizard. This is a great opportunity for their family.
Therefore, Nate nodded without hesitation: "Sir, please rest assured, I will do it well!"
But after finishing speaking, Nit suddenly remembered something: "Sir, the total population of Song of Songs exceeds one million, and there are many people of the right age. If it is spread at will, I am afraid there should not be such a big place at home, and the workload of adults will also increase. ."
Angel is also aware of this. After all, this is a big city with a population of one million.
He was silent for a moment: "You can appropriately limit the spread of news. At the same time, if you want to test your talent, you can hand in 5 gold coins first. Regardless of whether the test results have talent or not, the 5 gold coins will not be refunded."
For the average family, 5 gold coins is equal to all they have.
Gold coins are of little use to Angel, but they can test one point: are you ready to pay for everything, and may you pay the price of burning in the end
The same principle applies to the Wizarding Path. Pay the price, there is a great possibility of failure; but without paying the price, you will never succeed.
Gold coins are just a means for Angel to limit the number of people. He is going to carve a spiritual shock magic pattern at the door of Nite's house.
Only those who have survived the mental shock are eligible to come in for the test.
There are only two situations that can survive the mental shock: people with strong mental strength, and people with strong willpower.
This can be used as a second threshold. With these two thresholds, there should not be too many people who want to come in for the final test.
After listening to Angel's remarks, Nate was also slightly relieved. If there was no distinction between the poor and the lowly, and all the people of the right age came in swarms, it would be too chaotic.
While they were talking, the sleigh had entered Widows Street.
Until then, Angel was surprised to find that all the wizard apprentices who had been here had left? Either they got what they wanted and left, or there were no clues.
Angel is more inclined to the second type. It happened three thousand years ago. Even if there is something preserved, it should not be discovered until now.
Now that they have withdrawn, Angel doesn't need to go to Nite's friend's house immediately, but to explore the wells one by one according to the original plan.
As for whether to visit Lucas' mansion, Angel gave up after thinking.
If there is really something strange, it should have been taken away by the people of Song of the Deep Sea, why wait for him to pick it up
The first three wells of Widow Street, which Angel checked one by one, were all diving wells, and it was easy to explore to the end, and there was nothing strange about them.
Angel could only pin his hopes on Nite's friend, the well in the house of the son of the knight.
But he regretted that the last well did not yield anything. As for Nite's friend, he was also an ordinary person and had no talent.
After Angel left Widow Street, he continued to look at other industrial areas in Lucas.
These areas were originally patrolled by transcendents, but they have now been evacuated. He explored the last six wells very smoothly, but in the end, he still found nothing.
On the way back to the new Ross mansion, Angel's expression was confused.
Could it be that his judgment was wrong, Lucas did not jump from his own well, but went to someone else's house to jump into the well? Is his face too big
Or... Lucas shouldn't even lie about jumping into a well
In Lucas' logbook, other things happened after a delay of hundreds or thousands of years, such as "Sea of Flowers", "Wish Tree"... Could it be that his jumping from the well actually happened a long time later
Shouldn't be possible
There are two types of records in the logbook. One is that it seems real, such as daily work and rest, and recording one's own food and drink... There is no need to fake it.
The other is fictitious at first glance, such as the sea of tears, island spirit, glowing wishing tree... These are also clear at a glance, with some kind of fictitious element.
All these things with fictional elements, Angel regarded him as some kind of slightly unreliable "prophecy".
And his last log of "jumping from a well" was obviously the first one, which made Angel keep running around to find it.
But now, he has not found any clues in all the wells, not to mention the bones, under the all-round exploration of spiritual power, there is not even a scum.
Could it be that Lucas lied in the last diary
Angel couldn't even tell now whether Lucas was the honest person he said, or the liar as he said.
