Chapter 14 Pocket Watch

"The wizard's apprentice... This shows that wizards are not legends, but real. [🆆🆆🆆🆂🆃♦♦♦♦🅲♦🅼]"

Herage had a desire in his heart. He wanted to become a wizard.

"Deep Blue, temporarily names the unknown radiation energy as magic."

"Naming completed."

Based on the message message in the pocket watch, Herage guessed that this unknown radiation energy was magic power.

He wondered why his body could absorb and store magic power even though he had never learned any knowledge about wizards.

"Deep Blue, how much magic power can I still store in my body now?"

"Storage is full."

"Suppose the current magic power is 100%, and add magic power to the personal body data."

"Herag Merlin: Strength 0, Agility, Magic 100%."

Herage wanted to try the holy healing spell enchanted on his pocket watch, but he didn't know how much magic power would be consumed and whether the magic power in his body was enough.

Another problem is that he has no other source of magic power for the time being.

Now he uses less magic power in his body. He doesn't think he can get magical items like pocket watches in a short time, so he should use less magic power in his body.

"Nicholas Carlos Camby..." Herage silently remembered the name. ▂ ▄ ▅ ▆ ▇ ██ ▇ ▆ ▅ ▄ ▂

He didn't know why the wizard's pocket watch appeared in this place and had existed for at least forty years, because the disappearance of the guard began forty years ago.

Judging from Nicholas' original intention, this pocket watch should not have the human face attached to it.

From Herage's perspective, it seemed that the human face was inhabiting the pocket watch, and relied on the pocket watch to gain a certain amount of extraordinary power, which led to subsequent events.

"I just heard that scream again, coming from the bottom of the lake. I thought something happened to you." Emil said.

Herage held up his pocket watch and shook it a few times: "That scream was of no use to me, so I dared to go down. The dirt on it seems to be gone."

"This must be a treasure. Its value alone is already incredible. You have to keep it." Emil admired.

"There should be many secrets hidden in this thing." Herage hung the pocket watch around his neck and stuffed it into his clothes.

The two of them collected the bones on the ground. Since they were scattered all over the ground, they couldn't tell which bones belonged to whom, so they simply buried the bones and the armor together.

The five guards who had been missing for many years finally had a burial place.

After finishing all this work, it was already sunrise. The sun peeked out from the edge of the snow-capped mountains. The sunlight instantly cut through the darkness of the pumpkin farm and dispelled all the haze.

When Herrag returned to the farm, he saw Massimo standing at the door, holding a broken lock in his hand, and cursed: "Damn you two brats! I gave you the key!"

Emil could only bow his head and apologize, while Massimo kept mumbling.

"I didn't expect you guys to come back. Those people used to disappear in the middle of the night and then disappeared." After getting tired of scolding, Massimo looked at the two of them with strange eyes.

"We have found the five missing guards." Herage said after getting closer.

"Found it?" Massimo was surprised.

"Just in the lake to the north, we have buried them in the woods by the lake." Emil said.

Massimo had a look of emotion on his face, as if he was recalling something: "It's good that I found it, it's good that I found it."

…

More than half a month has passed, the weather is getting colder and colder, and the entire pumpkin farm has been covered in snow.

Looking around, it is covered in silver.

Herage was walking in the mountain forest covered with thick snow, holding a hare in his hand.

There are very few animals out and about in winter, and hunting is not easy.

Emil has been in a bad mood these days and often locks himself in the house alone for the whole day.

Herage knew the reason. Melissa's wedding day was coming soon.

People who love each other can't be together. This kind of thing always makes people helpless.

Herague was glad that he didn't have these worries. He just wanted to wait until he returned to the castle and try his best to find a way to contact the wizard.

Since he can absorb and store magic power, it means that he has the qualifications of a wizard.

Emil didn't have any information about the wizard, so he had to go back and ask Baron Buck.

While thinking about this, Herage suddenly heard movement in the distance. He stopped and listened carefully.

"There is the sound of horse hooves and there are quite a lot of people."

He immediately became more vigilant. The direction of the sound was to the west, and to the west was Beihard's territory.

Herage climbed to a high place, looked into the distance, and found that at the foot of the mountain in the distance, a group of fully armed men were riding fast on the mountain road.

This group of people is coming fiercely, and it seems that they will soon pass through the pumpkin farm, and then climb over the Emerald Mountains to fight towards the castle.

And in a few days it will be time for Melissa to get married...

After confirming the situation, he immediately returned to the farm to inform Emil that now only he and Emil had combat capabilities on the pumpkin farm.

At the farm, Emil and Herague were fully armed.

"I originally thought Behard had given up. If they invade at this time, I'm afraid things are not that simple." Emil said solemnly.

Herage brought six bags of arrows and said, "Let's go. They probably didn't expect anyone to be stationed at the pumpkin farm. Kill these people first, and then leave one alive to ask about the situation."

"Let's go!" Emil got on his horse, with murderous intent in his eyes.

He had been in a bad mood recently, and now this group of people seemed to be targeting Melissa, which made him even more angry.

Herage and Emil quickly came to the western pass, which was the only way.

They occupied the commanding heights and fought from above.

Herage took out his fine steel bow and got ready to attack.

He has returned old Henry's longbow and it is hanging on the wall as before.

It's just that he is maintaining the longbow now, because old Henry is lying on the bed and it is inconvenient to move.

This fine steel bow requires a lot of strength to draw, and its lethality and range are not comparable to those of a wooden bow.

"There are fourteen people in total, fully equipped. The leader is a knight-level strongman, and the armor on his body is printed with the emblem of the Simon family." Herage counted the enemy's situation.

The armed forces of one territory enter another territory fully armed. In this case, there is no need to ask any questions, because this represents a declaration of war.

When the group came into range, Herage did not rush to release the arrow, but let the group come in a little further to prevent them from escaping.

Seeing that it was almost done, Herage shot the first arrow.

The arrow made a sharp sound as it shot through the air at an extremely fast speed. It shot directly through a person's throat. After passing through, the speed did not slow down. The arrow penetrated deeply into the tree with blood.

"There is an ambush!" This group of people did not panic, and immediately dismounted and found a bunker to hide.

Herage continued to draw the fine steel bow to full capacity. He had Deep Blue as support. Hiding was useless to him. As long as the opponent was not in a blind spot, he could launch an attack.
