Viglid, a mysterious town located on the border of Western Europe. Among the many legends spread in Europe, there are countless legends about meeting angels and witches.
Although most of these legends are passed down in the form of strange stories, both locals and people in surrounding areas always believe in one thing, that is, the legends of light and darkness, angels and witches that have been spread in this area since ancient times are not myth.
According to legend, the land of Vigrid has been divided into two special human races since ancient times. They were the real rulers of this land in distant ancient times. At that time, all lords and mayors were just puppets, and only these two racial forces had the right to speak.
One of them is the Shadow Witch clan. According to legend, they communicated with the demon world and were given a special race to control the power of the demon world and the power of the moon. Since the birth of their race, just like the name of their race, there have only been women. To be more precise, only women will inherit the power of the Shadow Witch.
The name of the other clan is called the Lumen Sage. This clan does not have the almost harsh inheritance conditions of the Shadow Witch. The members of the clan are both male and female. According to legend, they have communicated with the heavens, controlled the power of the heavens and the sun, and obtained A holy family recognized by angels in heaven.
These two races, one light and one dark, have been born since ancient times. However, for a long time, these two races have been in harmony with each other. As observers of the world, they have silently watched the development of mankind.
But it was not until five hundred years ago that the two races suddenly broke out in an unprecedented fierce war. It took a full hundred years from the beginning to the end of this war.
Judging from the battle process between the two clans, the witch clan's combat effectiveness far exceeded that of the Lumen Sage clan. At the beginning of the battle, the witch clan won the victory with their super fighting ability.
However, compared to the witch clan who fight alone, the Lumen Sages rely on their ability to communicate with angels in the human world, which allows them to gain a very high reputation. Although this reputation cannot be directly converted into combat power, it is among the Lumen Sages. On the verge of destruction, all the shadow witches who had already won were dragged down.
Witch hunting, a movement initiated by humans under the announcement of the arrival of angels, became the hook that ended the history of the Shadow Witch.
The two races that were supposed to protect the development of human beings were thus exhausted in their infighting, and have since disappeared from human sight.
However, not everyone believes that these two races just disappeared, and there must be survivors. There are many scholars among human beings who have done extensive research on this matter. Faced with such an existence that subverts human history, they are like outliers among historical researchers. They endure ridicule and confusion and continue to study. Among them, the one with the deepest research is named Lucian.
Through three years of research at the ancient ruins of Vigrid, Lucian finally found proof of the existence of witches. According to the records in the ruins, five hundred years ago the witches guarded the "Left Eye of Darkness" in their era. The secret sank into the lake, and this secret will be guarded forever.
In order to detect this secret, Lucian even ignored the taboos and came to a place called the "Lake of Death" by the locals. According to legend, everyone who comes here will be killed by an inexplicable force as long as they come within a hundred meters.
Of course, this kind of legend exists in many places, and the legend belonging to Vigrid can only be said to have a more warning effect.
One morning after a heavy fog, Lucian finally found a local man with a large sum of money to lead him to the legendary "Lake of Death".
Also here with Lucian is his son Luca. Although he is only a child over five years old, he already looks like a points explorer.
After crossing the dense forest valley, the group arrived at a place only three kilometers away from the lake before noon. They were looking at the lake in the distance halfway up the mountain. They felt that although the lake was a little quieter and clearer, it was far from the rumored "Lake of Death".
"Aren't we going to move on?"
Lucian asked immediately when he saw that the local tour guide on the side had just set up camp and stopped moving forward.
Upon hearing Lucian's words, the local tour guide shook his head as diligently as an electric fan. Even Luca, a child who was not very understanding of the world, could see deep fear in the other person's eyes.
"No, no, no, we must not go in so casually during the day... According to legend, there is a god of death around the Lake of Death who leads people to hell. You can only enter it on a moonless night or a rainy night shrouded in clouds. At other times That’s one word—death!”
The face of the local tour guide was full of fear. Of course, the entry points he mentioned were also old experiences he heard from his ancestors. If he didn't have such an experience, I'm afraid even he wouldn't dare to lead people so casually. Enter here.
As a researcher, Lucian has learned a lot about gods and strange things from the ruins of witches, but overall he is still a person who believes in science and does not think that there are unknowable things in this world. Gods and demons.
When he heard what the local tour guide said, his hand involuntarily touched the back of his waist. There was a bulging thing there. If you had clairvoyance, you could see that it was a gun.
As a researcher, it is commonplace to go deep into dangerous places. How many times Lucian has been able to survive dangerous Jedi situations has something to do with his pistol skills.
Although he felt that this so-called curse was only caused by the ignorance of the locals, as a researcher, Lucian would not put himself in danger casually. The specific situation here had not yet been ascertained, so he followed the tour guide's instructions. It is recommended to set up camp here for the time being.
One day, two days, three days... It took the three of them a full five days after they arrived. During this period, they never met the conditions to enter the Lake of Death.
Lucian's search for the uniqueness of this location also found nothing. No matter from any aspect, this Lake of Death is no different from ordinary lakes. At least if you don't observe it closely, you won't find anything.
It is not that there are no animals around the Lake of Death. Nothing strange happened when they entered the lake. They don't know whether the murderous intention was not triggered or whether it was just targeting humans.
On the sixth day of being stationed here, Lucian, who had never gained much, finally couldn't sit still anymore. He packed up his equipment and even adjusted his favorite gun.
"Sir, you'd better think about it again. You can't enter the Lake of Death!"
Although he was a tour guide who took money from people to do things, he didn't want the generous gentleman in front of him to die like this.
Just when the tour guide wanted to continue to persuade Lucian, he suddenly opened his eyes wide and pointed behind Lucian, as if he had seen a ghost in the blue sky.
"What? Behind me..." Lucian's reaction was full of emotions. When he saw the appearance of the tour guide, he knew something was wrong. When he looked at his son who was still next to the tent, he found that his reaction was exactly the same. He turned back suddenly and looked, Even Lucian was stunned and forgetful at this moment.
The crack, a dark, deep black crack that leads to nowhere, happens to be a hundred meters in the air directly above the Lake of Death.
Lucian remembered very clearly that there was no Ha Ye in that direction more than ten minutes ago. In the blink of an eye, a black crack appeared so quietly. This situation cannot be explained by normal science.
"A crack in space? Or an abyss leading to hell? This, this is simply the most subversive discovery of the 20th century. I want to take pictures..."
Lucian immediately picked up the professional camera he had prepared, adjusted the focus and prepared to take a picture of this scene.
However, after he adjusted the camera in his hand, new changes appeared in the crack in the abyss. The space around the crack collapsed little by little, as if the crack was swallowing up everything around it.
"What, a person? A person fell out of the crack?!"
Through the camera in his hand, Lucian discovered the human-shaped object fished out within a few minutes. After repeated confirmations, Lucian finally decided that it was definitely a person.
Entering the water from a height of 100 meters, the splash is definitely not small, but this is not enough to scare Lucian's position. It would be difficult for an average person to fall into the water from that height without dying. There is no difference between falling on the water and on the ground at that height.
If the person who emerged from the crack was really a "person", he would be dead at that falling speed, but Lucian could see it very clearly. The person who fell was not smashed to pieces, but floated in the water after entering the water. On the lake.
"No, I must fish him out!"
Putting down the extra equipment, Lucian ran towards the lake without stopping. Even the tour guide who shouted at him to stay away seemed not to have heard him.
Lucian, who was running wildly, didn't know why he became so excited, or maybe he heard his intuition telling him that from this moment on, he would be exposed to some unknown secrets.
Lucian ran for three minutes on a complex terrain of three kilometers to ensure that his physical strength was intact. When he ran to the lake, he only took a few breaths before his breathing stabilized.
But when he looked into the lake from his position on the edge of the lake, he suddenly discovered that the person who was supposed to be floating on the lake had disappeared.
"How is that possible? Could it be that he didn't die and got up and left?" Worried that he had missed something, Lucian raised the camera and looked into the distance.
"call-"
A strong wind surged up in the area behind Lucian. The strength of the wind was definitely beyond everyone's imagination. Just as Lucian noticed a sudden chill coming from behind him.
"Hey, you're in a death zone, do you need insurance?"
Before Lucian could turn around, a strong right hand rested on his shoulder.
Bang—
Before Lucian could turn around, he heard a loud noise from behind him as something was smashed into the ground.
"Asian?" Lucian turned around and saw clearly the true face of the owner of the hand on his shoulder, but even Lucian himself couldn't believe that an Asian face actually appeared in the wilds of Western Europe.
Le Yuan, Le Yuan, who had just crawled out of the lake, was currently stepping on the ground with his right foot (from Lucian's perspective). He had just stepped on the head of a birdman who was trying to make a sneak attack.
