Chapter 50 Lake Monster
"Hey... there should be no time this afternoon, I have to go out... Some things need to be dealt with... That's it, goodbye."
After hanging up the phone, Donald picked up a pastry and threw it into his mouth. The call was Marina. This week was their agreed experimental study. However, Donald was busy solving the deep-sea vengeance yesterday, and today he was going to Lake Sel, the largest lake in Tallinn District.
On the second day of the rainy week, the rain disappeared without the storm when it first came, but there was a little more cloudy tide. The whole world seemed to be soaked in water. Even if Donald lives on the second floor, the wallpaper inside the house was still damp.
After shaking the metal pot filled with moonlight ink, there have been more than a dozen finished scrolls next to it, half of which are low-level inscription scrolls, and the other half are wolfhound inscriptions and a few other types of inscription scrolls.
This period of study has led Donald to the second stage of research on inscriptions. He is trying to quickly treat the second level inscriptions and engrave the frozen trap. The previous wolfhound was a summoning inscription, and these two were auxiliary.
"Finger, look at the house, don't run around."
Wearing a rainproof cloak and putting the broken lost stone slab into the backpack, Donald also stuffed a large tablecloth into the backpack, and if there is any harvest, it will be wrapped in something.
When I arrived at the downstairs of the apartment, I looked around and confirmed that no one was nearby. I took out the horse whistle and blew it. The dirt puppet stepped out of the magic circle and stopped in front of Donald.
There are no taxis outside in this weather. Lake Sel is a distance from Royal De Lore, so it is better to just rush over by foot.
After passing through several blocks, following the river in the Tallinn area, stopping on the edge of a block sign in the middle to confirm the location.
Come up from the horse's back, wipe the rain from the signboard, change the lenses of the mechanical mask, confirm the handwriting on it, and you are not wrong.
Just as I was about to retract my gaze, I accidentally caught an object on the outer wall of the house behind the sign.
Donald had seen a mechanical little monkey outside the scroll shop before. After tightening the clockwork, he would walk forward and play cymbals at a certain time...
"Strange, who is so idle? He ran out on the wall on a rainy day and put a mechanical monkey on the wall."
The sound was hard to hear now. Donald stared at the mechanical monkey for a while and turned back to his horse. He was very busy and had no time to study a toy here.
But shortly after he left, someone paced out of the room inside the wall.
He is in the rain.
Rotate, jump, don't close your eyes.
His body was covered with blood, and it flowed to the ground under the erosion of the heavy rain, without a trace of blood stains remaining on his clothes.
The mechanical monkey was hitting the cymbals and walking back and forth on the wall. The time for the clockwork was limited. After about a minute, the monkey stopped and he stopped too.
"Hahahaha~"
The man smiled and kicked his feet to the ground, and he was walking forward as if he was sitting on a water slide.
But this is obviously a rough road...
**
Except for the two stops when I checked the location, I did not stop throughout the journey. I rushed to the vicinity of Lake Sel, which is the central area of Tallinn District, in the wind and rain.
As the largest lake in the Tallinn area, the entire Lake Sel is actually a pristine lake that existed before the city was built. The government of the Tallinn area built a large entertainment park around it, including botanical gardens, zoos, playgrounds, etc.
Passing through the empty playground gate, rain spilled on various facilities inside, and the sound was noisy.
Looking at the route signs in the park, follow the above marks and walk in. Through a tree-lined avenue, you can vaguely see a part of Lake Sel among the trees.
Cancel the horse's call, walked through the bushes with his bag on his back, and went straight to the edge of Lake Sel.
"It's the biggest..."
Looking around, I have to say that the area of Lake Sel is far beyond Donald's imagination.
Although the distance can be roughly calculated by using the scale on the map, this on-site observation is undoubtedly a different scene.
In the heavy rain, the nearby lake was filled with overlapping ripples, and a layer of white mist covered most of the lake. Donald stood on the shore. Even though it was one o'clock in the afternoon, he still saw a hazy scene.
With the soft soil on my feet, the lake is just one meter away, and the waterline is about one meter away from where Donald stands.
Although it is surrounded by various entertainment facilities built by humans, it still retains a part of the nature here, without the imagined lake corridors or railings along the river. What Donald saw is like a wild lake except for a few wooden docks with small boats parked on the shore.
Walking towards the dock by the river, Donald's eyes never left Lake Sel. I don't know whether it was his personal factor or the natural nature of Lake Sel itself that made him feel uneasy. He also felt this feeling when he went out to sea, because he didn't know what was hidden under the sea or under the lake.
But I don’t know why, this time it’s particularly serious.
Donald believes that it may be because many people around him helped him relieve that emotion when he went to sea last time, but now he is facing the entire Lake Sel alone, and under the storm, the already gloomy environment has aggravated his inner uneasiness.
As a wizard, he would naturally not be dominated by this emotion. Donald stepped onto the wooden dock and walked all the way to a position nearly one meter from the end of the port to stop.
He took out the deep-sea vengeful spirit and threw it into Lake Sel, and issued instructions through the link of mental power. In a short while, an iron helmet appeared on the sea.
Donald squatted forward and reached out to press his hand on the head of the deep-sea vengeful spirit. The dark green fire line spreads down from his head. What he needs is a self-conscious vengeful spirit to help him dive into the bottom of the water and find the lost stone slab.
"Stones of this color have words on them, find them!"
The deep-sea vengeful spirit raised his head and sank into the bottom of the lake after confirming the appearance of the stone fragments.
Immediately afterwards, Donald summoned the sonic toad, and the demon did not need to be ordered after he was revitalized. After seeing the fragments of the lost stone slab, the latter took the initiative to jump into the lake.
As for the last dragon-headed mole, Donald was not ready to let it go. Although the soul state would not drown, the dragon-headed mole itself did not have the ability to move in the water. After going into the water, it would be at most a few strokes and could not move freely in Lake Sel.
Sitting cross-legged, Donald looked at the lake in front of him and rubbed the fragments of the lost stone slab in his hand.
After a while, Donald frowned.
When you encounter problems in search work, it is not outside but inside.
It turns out that the connection between him and the deep-sea vengeful spirit and the sound wave toad is at a certain distance. The Bone Spirit Pan cannot achieve a spiritual connection within an infinite distance. Although Donald has given them self-awareness through demonic activation, they can act independently, but this does not mean that they can exist without the control of the Bone Spirit Pan.
Otherwise, wouldn’t it be Donald’s order that the deep-sea vengeful spirits or sound-wave toads can go to unmanned islands overseas to explore independently?
In short, Donald must let the deep-sea vengeful spirits and the sonic toad stay within the range of the bone spirit plate. If you want to find the fragments of the lost stone slab, you will definitely not limit their range of movement.
There was no way that way, they couldn't come back, so Donald had to go out.
"Tsk, it's really troublesome..."
In fact, Donald was somewhat resistant to leaving the dock and entering Lake Sel.
The small wooden boats jumped into the dock. These boats should be provided to some young couples who usually rafted on the lake and talked about love. Now Donald has made a transfer station.
A lot of water accumulated in the small wooden boat. Donald used his mental power to clear it up, but not long after, he was saved by the heavy rain.
Sitting at the bow of the boat, controlling the two oars with mental power... Well, Donald didn't know how to use the oars at all, so he simply unloaded them and turned to control the boat to move forward on the lake with mental power.
Smack~huh~
As the wind blew, waves of water hit the boat's side. Donald looked at the water lines on both sides, as if he could touch them with his hand. The gloomy lake water in the storm made him feel uncomfortable, and his brows were tightly furrowed under the mask.
The lake is surrounded by wind, rain, water and mist, and he is the only one who rafts.
This feeling is not poetic at all!
Only wetness!
"Have you not found it yet...why would you drag Anthony over and look for it next time?"
Donald had to admit that he could not stand this kind of environment. As a wizard, he did not master any spells that could allow him to be at ease in the water. It was not appropriate to put himself in a dangerous situation, but in order to lose the stone slab, he had to take this risk.
Qu ~
The low frog croaker came from nowhere, and Donald stopped moving. The sound was very similar to the sound wave toad, but it was even thicker.
It felt the soul of its child appearing in the lake, and it was calling.
No response...
Someone is on the lake!
Bang ~
A piece of oar placed horizontally on the side of the boat suddenly fell into the lake, and the entire wooden boat was obviously inclined, with big waves...
But Donald didn't feel the strange wind!
"Hey, hey, hey, you must not have any trouble in such a place."
Donald adjusted the mechanical mask and forced the ship to fix it with his mental power.
However, the waves that caused the ship to tilt were still rushing. After seeing the location of the waves, Donald stood up and turned around to look towards the source.
"Late.....trough..."
Donald couldn't believe his eyes in the tone of his previous life that he hadn't spoken for a long time!
Chapter completed!
