Chapter 11 Crying in the Middle of the Night

"Don't think too much, the Baron is in good health and there is nothing wrong. Emil knew from Herag's expression that he was wrong.

"Why is that?" Herag asked.

"It is said that Simon of Berhard has contacted a mysterious wizard." Emil said in a deep voice.

"Wizard? Really exists?" Herag immediately became interested.

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

He took a sip of wine and continued: "The Baron and Simon's families are feuds, and the hatred can never be resolved. Some time ago, after Simon's youngest son fell to death in a horse race, he went completely crazy and firmly believed that it was the Baron's doing. "

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

"After the Baron learned the news through an insider, he had the matter of marrying the Duke of Tulip. With the Duke of Tulip's face, the wizard will not 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 succeed. I fled here to avoid affecting the marriage. "

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

"Because if I don't bring you here, the Baron may get rid of you. You heard the conversation between me and Melissa on the training ground that day. The Baron is a cruel person. He may get rid of anyone who may affect the marriage. It is safest for you to come to the pumpkin farm with me."

"I see." Herag didn't expect there was such a reason.

"Does Melissa know all this?" Herag asked.

Emile shook his head: "She doesn't know, maybe she will know later. "

"When is the wedding?"

Emile raised his head and finished the wine in the glass: "In a month, the Baron will send Melissa to the Rimuru Province to attend the wedding."

According to the local customs, since Baron Buck has a lower status, the bride needs to send the bride to the groom's house for the wedding. A wedding banquet will be held in the castle on the day of the wedding to thank the relatives and friends on their side.

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

"Woo... woo..."

Emile suddenly put down the wine glass and said: "This wind sound... Why does it sound like someone is crying?"

Herag smiled and said: "You are drunk, the wind blows like this."

"No, listen carefully." Emil looked serious.

Seeing that he was so serious, Herag also began to listen.

"Woo... woo... woo... ah..."

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

"Massimo said that no matter what you hear at night, you can't go out. It seems that there is something strange here. The guards who disappeared before may not have really encountered wild beasts. "Emile's face was solemn.

"There is indeed something strange. We'd better not act rashly. Massimo has been safe here for so many years, which means there should be no problem if he doesn't go out. "Helag analyzed.

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

Helag returned to his room and lay on the bed, gradually falling asleep with the help of alcohol.

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

But everything was just as Massimo said, nothing would happen if he didn't go out.

The next morning, Helag and the others were still safe.

The weather was very good today. Massimo was lying on a chair in the sun, looking very leisurely.

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

"What? "Massimo didn't hear clearly.

After Emil approached, he asked again.

"Crying?" Massimo recalled, "You mean the sound of the wind, I heard it when I was young, but I never heard it again after my ears were injured. Now I'm old, it's hard for me to hear you talk, how can I hear the wind?"

Herag smiled and motioned Emil to go out and take a look.

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

Herag rode on the plain, looking at the snow-capped mountains in the distance, and felt happy.

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

There is a snow-capped mountain in the north, and there is a lake at the foot of the mountain. The lake is very deep and the bottom cannot be seen clearly.

"This lake is very strange. There is only water in the lake every winter, and it is dry at other times." Emil introduced by the lake.

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

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

"A little dizzy?" He found that staring at the bottom of the lake made him feel a little dizzy.

"There's something strange about this lake."

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

A pale face emerged from the water, and it was hard to tell whether it was a man or a woman, with empty eyes without eyeballs.

"Warning! Warning!"

"Unknown radiation energy detected! Unknown impact!"

"Herag! Wake up!"

Herag found that he had fallen asleep at some point, and Emil woke him up with a serious face.

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

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

"Fainted?" Herag had no memory of this happening at all. "By the way, I just saw a person at the bottom of the lake, who looked like he had been soaking in the water for a long time..."

Emile did not doubt his words, but cautiously pulled Herag 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 strange here. Although I can't see anything, my intuition tells me that this place is very dangerous. Let's go, don't come here again."

Emile had no intention of finding out the truth. He was very curious, but also very rational, and would never touch anything beyond his ability.

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

"It is detected that the radiation energy is compatible with the physique and has been stored in the body. The use method is unknown and there is a lack of effective information."

"Spiritual power increased by 3."

Herrag's heart moved when he saw these two pieces of information. It was the first time he saw a change in mental power.

The food and practice methods he has been exposed to can only increase strength, agility, and physique, but mental power has never changed.

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

"Check physical data."

"Herrag Merlin: Strength 0, Agility 6, Physical 2, Spirit 5."
