In the evening.
An elk sled car rowed through the thick snow.
Angel sat in the seat behind the sledge and looked carefully at the map in his hand. Next to him sat nit, who was waving the reins hard to make the elk run faster.
This is tail rat street, which is full of residential houses on both sides. The warm light is reflected in the windows, and the smoke rising from the chimney is twisted in the heavy snow.
There are not too many adults on both sides of the street. They are basically children dressed like meat balls. While waiting for dinner, they are having a snow fight with their companions.
When the elk sledge came, the bear child was not afraid at all. He even picked up a snow ball from the ground and threw it on the car.
Nit was enjoying the joy of elk pulling a cart. Unexpectedly, a snowball hit his face directly, and the snowball slipped. Nit's white face showed a red round mark.
The bear boy who hit him next to him also pointed to the bridge of his nose and laughed.
If other nobles, it is estimated that they have begun to be angry at this time. But nit is a wonderful flower among the nobles. He wanders in the sea all year round and has more experience, so he is more tolerant.
Nit was not angry, but looked at the people around him tremblingly. Although Lord Pat has always been kind, will it be offended by children
Nit was stunned.
Lord Pat was not angry because none of the snowballs hit him. Every snowball that flew around him "naturally".
Moreover, he not only didn't get angry, but also aroused a demon like smile, grabbed the snowballs flying in the air with a lightning speed and hit them back one by one.
Just because the bear boy can't hit him doesn't mean he can't hit these live targets trapped in the snow.
Even though the sledge was moving, he was still accurate.
Almost every time the elk runs a section of the road, it can hear the sound of popping behind. This is the sound of the bear child falling down after being shot.
Just a few hundred meters away from tail mouse street, Lord Pat was like a snowball God of war. When he got off the bus, he not only didn't have any snow on his body, but also smiled politely at the bear child hit by him.
Then he spit out a messy word in NIT's wind: "promise!"
Amid the cries of the bear children, angel came to a fir tree with satisfaction. There was a public well here. However, because there was no shortage of water resources for the time being, the well here had been sealed by a big stone.
"This is the 26th well. I hope you won't let me down." Angel stood by the well and murmured.
Nit also came over at this time, looked at the serious Lord pat, and thought about his smile on the bear child. It was impossible to imagine that it was the same person.
However, he now understood what vice captain Helen said. Lord Pat was really different from other extraordinary people.
When nit shook his God, angel looked disappointed: his spiritual tentacles went down to the end, and there was no abnormality.
"I'll go down and have a look. You wait for me here." After angle finished speaking to nit, he removed the sealing stone with his magic hand, wrapped it in a thin water film and jumped into the well.
This is a diving well. Angel soon reached the bottom. As his mental power detected, there was no abnormality.
Angel reluctantly dived. When he jumped out of the well, it also brought a faint mist. This is because the temperature of well water is warmer than the outside world, which is a natural phenomenon.
Nit looked at Lord pat with a slightly heavy expression and knew that he had nothing to gain this time.
He didn't know what Lord Pat was looking for, and he wouldn't ask more. Lord pat is willing to say that he will naturally know. If you don't want to say it and come forward to ask questions, it will certainly create a rift with the other party.
"Sir, are we going to the next place? I looked. There are four wells in widow street that have not been explored."
Angel was also thinking at this time. After screening and investigation, there were 33 wells with more than 3000 years in the area designated by him, plus three wells with unconfirmed years, a total of 36 wells. It's not much to say. If the speed is fast, it can be completed in one day.
But now he has checked all the peripheral wells, and the rest are locked in Lucas's residential area.
This * * * should be the most likely well for Lucas to commit suicide, but when he went out the night before yesterday, these areas were hidden from extraordinary people.
If he broke in now, he might attract attention.
Angel hesitated to go over and have a look.
"Speaking of it, there is a well in widow street. At the home of a good friend of mine, he is the son of the head of the western expedition knights. At present, he is a baron." Nit looked at the map and said.
Angel's eyes lit up when he heard this.
"Nit, the biggest purpose of my coming to the lost song market this time is actually to find talents. Since your friend is the son of a knight, maybe there are some talents that we can test."
Nit looked confused. Is the knight's offspring gifted? Is there such a saying?
Although nit had doubts, he naturally didn't 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, he whispered: "starting tomorrow, you can help me spread news outside and find the right talent. You should know the restrictions. The place to test my talent is... Your home."
Nit's happy expression, tested in his family, is tantamount to indirectly indicating that the new Ross family has a relationship with a wizard. This is a great opportunity for their family.
So nit nodded without hesitation: "Sir, please rest assured that I will do it well!"
After that, nit suddenly remembered something: "Sir, the total population of the city of sad songs exceeds one million, and there are a lot of school-age people. If it is spread at will, I'm afraid there should not be so much place at home, and the workload of adults will increase."
Angel also knows this. After all, it is a big city with a population of one million.
He was silent for a moment: "you can appropriately limit the spread of information. At the same time, if you want to test talent, you can hand in 5 gold coins first. No matter whether the test result has talent or not, 5 gold coins will not be returned."
For ordinary families, five gold coins are equal to all they have.
Gold coins are of no use to angel, but one thing can be tested: have you paid all the price that may be set on fire in the end?
The same applies to the wizard's road. Pay the price, there is a great possibility of failure; But you will never succeed without paying a price.
Gold coins are only a means for angel to limit the number of people. He is going to depict a magic pattern of spiritual shock at nit's door.
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 power and people with strong willpower.
This can be used as the second threshold. With these two thresholds, there should not be too many people who want to come in for the final test.
After hearing angel's story, nit was a little relieved. It would be too chaotic if all the school-age people came in a swarm, regardless of poverty.
While they were talking, the sledge had entered widow street.
Until then, angel was surprised to find that all the wizard apprentices who had been here had gone? Or they have got what they want and evacuated; Or there's no clue here.
Angel prefers the second kind. It happened 3000 years ago. Even if something has been preserved, it should not be discovered until now.
Now that they had withdrawn, angel did not need to go to nit's friend's house immediately, but explored the wells one by one according to the original plan.
As for whether to visit Lucas's house, angel thought and gave up.
If there is anything strange, it should have been taken away by the people of the song of the deep sea. Why wait until he picks up the leak?
The first three wells in widow street were investigated by angel one by one. They were all diving wells. It was easy to find out. There was nothing strange.
Angel could only place his hope on nit's friend, the well in the knight's son's house.
But he regretted that there was no harvest in the last well. As for nit's friends, they are also ordinary people and have no talent.
After angel left widow street, he continued to visit other industrial areas in Lucas.
These areas were also visited by extraordinary people, but now they have also been evacuated. He explored the last six wells very smoothly, and the final result was still nothing.
On the way back to the new Ross house, angel's expression was confused.
Is his judgment wrong? Lucas didn't jump his own well, but went to someone else's house to jump? Is his face too big?
Or... Is Lucas not even lying about jumping into a well?
In Lucas's logbook, other things happened hundreds or thousands of years later, such as "sea of flowers" and "Wishing Tree"... Did his well jump actually happen a long time later?
Shouldn't it be possible?
There are two kinds of records in the logbook. One is seemingly real, such as daily work and rest, and recording their eating and drinking... There is no need for fraud.
The other is fictional at first sight, such as the sea of tears, the island spirit and the luminous wishing tree... These are also clear at a glance and have some fictional elements.
For all these fictional things, angel regarded him as some kind of slightly unreliable "prophecy".
And he finally wrote his log of "jumping into a well", which was obviously the first kind, which made Angel keep running to find it.
But now, he didn't find any clue in all the wells, let alone the bones. Under the all-round exploration of spiritual power, he didn't even have any dross.
Did Lucas lie in the last log?
Angel can't even tell whether Lucas is an honest man or a liar.
