Chapter 11 Crying in the middle of the night

"Don't think too much, the Baron is in good health and there is nothing serious. ☟♦" Emil knew by looking at Herage's expression that he was wrong.

"Why is that?" Herage asked.

"It is said that Simon of Behard contacted a certain mysterious wizard." Emil said solemnly.

"Wizards? Really exist?" Herage immediately became interested.

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

He took a sip of wine and continued: "The Baron and Simon's family have a feud that can never be resolved. Some time ago, Simon's youngest son fell into a horse race and died, and he went completely crazy. He firmly believed that it was the Baron who Damn it.”

"The Baron is a great knight, and ordinary people can't deal with him. Simon probably thought of this before contacting the wizard, but I don't know what price he paid."

"After the Baron learned the news through his spy, he came up with the matter of marrying Duke Tulip. With Duke Tulip's face, the wizard probably won't attack the Baron."

"With the Baron here, the people of the territory will be safe."

"So, how can I be with Melissa? The Baron also said that she and I are not suitable and cannot be together. This marriage must be successful, and I escaped here to avoid any impact on the marriage."

"By the way, do you know why I brought you here?" Emil seemed to be drunk and said to himself.

"Because if I don't bring you here, the Baron may get rid of you. On the training ground that day, you heard the conversation between Melissa and I. The Baron is a cruel person, and anyone who may affect the marriage, he It’s possible to get rid of them all. It’s safest if you come with me to the pumpkin farm.”

"I see." Herage didn't expect there to be such a reason.

"Does Melissa know all this?" Herrag asked.

Emil shook his head: "She doesn't know, maybe she will know in the future."

"When is the wedding?"

Emil raised his head and finished the wine in the glass: "In one month, the Baron will send Melissa to the Limulu Province for a wedding."

According to the custom here, since Baron Baron's status is lower, he needs to send the bride to the groom's house for the wedding when he gets married. On the wedding day, a wedding banquet will be held in the castle to thank your relatives and friends.

The two drank until late at night, when a strong wind blew outside the house, making the door clank.

"Woo...Woo..."

Emil suddenly put down his wine glass and said, "This wind sound...why does it sound like someone is crying?"

Herage smiled and said: "You must be drunk, that's what happens when the wind blows."

"No, listen carefully." Emil looked serious.

Seeing how serious he was, Herage also began to listen.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Herage took a deep breath and confirmed that he did hear someone crying.

"Massimo said that no matter what you hear, you are not allowed to go out at night. It seems that there is indeed something strange here. The guards who disappeared before may not have encountered wild beasts." Emil looked solemn.

"There is indeed something strange, so we'd better not act rashly. Massimo has been safe here for so many years, which means there shouldn't be any problems if he doesn't go out," Herage analyzed.

"Tomorrow we will go check out the surrounding area." Emil decided to investigate the matter, but he would not go out at night to take risks.

Herage returned to his room and lay on the bed, gradually becoming sleepy due to alcohol.

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

But everything is just like Massimo said, if you don’t go out, you’ll be fine.

Early the next morning, both Herrag and Helag were still safe and sound.

The weather is very good today. Massimo is lying on a chair and basking in the sun, looking very relaxed.

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

"What?" Massimo didn't hear clearly.

As Emil approached, he asked again.

"Crying?" Massimo recalled, "You're talking about the sound of wind, right? I heard it when I was young, but I never heard it again after my ears were injured. Now that I'm older, it's hard to hear you talking. I can still hear some rumors."

Herage smiled and motioned for Emil to go out and take a look.

The pumpkin farm is surrounded by mountains. They couldn't determine which direction the crying came from last night. They could only walk around to see if there was anything unusual.

Herage was galloping on the plains on horseback, looking at the snow-capped mountains in the distance with a sense of relief in his heart.

"Let's go to the north first." Emil checked the map and decided to go to the north first.

To the north is a snow-capped mountain, and there is a lake at the foot of the mountain. The lake is so deep that the bottom cannot be seen clearly.

"This lake is very strange. It only has water every winter, and it is dry at other times." Emil said at the lakeside.

"So strange?" Herage looked at the calm lake and saw nothing unusual.

He squatted by the lake, looking at the bottom of the lake and suddenly felt something strange.

"A little dizzy?" He found that his head felt slightly dizzy while staring at the bottom of the lake.

"There's something strange about this lake."

He lowered his body a little lower, and his intuition told him that there was something at the bottom of the lake.

A pale human face emerged from the water. No male or female could be identified, and the eyes were empty and without eyeballs.

"Warning! Warning!"

"Unknown radiation energy detected! Impact unknown!"

"Hrag! Wake up!"

Herage found that he had fallen asleep at some point, and Emil shook him awake with a serious look on his face.

"What's wrong with me?" Herage asked in confusion.

"You just fainted by the lake, and it took me a long time to wake up." Emil explained.

"Fainted?" There was no such thing in Herage's memory. "By the way, I just saw a person at the bottom of the lake. He looked like he had been in the water for a long time..."

Emil did not doubt his words, but carefully pulled Herage back: "I just looked at the bottom of the lake, but I didn't find anything unusual. But you fainted by the lake, which means there is something weird here. I Although I can’t see anything, my intuition tells me that this place is very dangerous. Let’s go and don’t come here again.”

Emil had no intention of finding out. He was very curious, but also very rational, and would never touch anything beyond his capabilities.

"Unknown radiation energy..." Herage flipped through the dark blue prompts, wondering what this unknown radiation energy was.

"The radiation energy detected is consistent with the body's constitution and has been stored in the body. The method of use is unknown and there is a lack of effective information."

"Spiritual power increased by 3."

Herage was moved when he saw these two pieces of information. This was the first time he saw a change in his mental power.

The food and cultivation methods I am currently exposed to can only increase my strength, agility, and physical fitness, but my mental strength has never changed.

He has never seen anyone with high mental power, and a great knight like Baron Buck only has 3.

"Query body data."

"Herag Merlin: Strength 0, Agility."
