It feels so good to stick to Miss Witch

And the one on the side, of course, is where Jax the Bronze Horseman is imprisoned.

"Kata..."

The door lock was unlocked, the prison door was opened, and Roy walked into the prison where Lord Denham was being held. At first glance, he saw Lord Denham sitting cross-legged on the wet and cold ground.

At this moment, he has woken up from a coma, his complexion is extremely pale, his eyes are dim, and he looks very weak.

The "instant gold" secret skill of the "Golden Breathing Method" caused a lot of damage to Lord Denham's heart, coupled with the restraint of the shadow magic power on his heart, it made it impossible for the battle energy to flow back to the heart to repair the damage, so his state There is no sign of improvement, and even signs of deterioration.

In this state, let alone running away, he didn't even have the strength to stand up.

Seeing Roy, Shanika, and Lilia walking into the cage, Lord Denham shrank his pupils first, then quickly calmed down: "Everyone underestimates you, Roy Tulumbell."

"What I just can't figure out is why the temple knights would cooperate with you in such a scene."

"And you, Lilia, I asked myself that I didn't violate the agreement between us, why did you betray me?"

"Betrayal?" Lilia said in a cold voice, "Denham, the premise of betrayal is loyalty, but I have never had any loyalty to you. I have only hated you to the bone."

"If you didn't have the witch controller in your hand and bind it, do you think you can live until now?"

Roy raised his hand to signal the Shadow Witch Lilia not to speak for the time being. He looked at Lord Denham and said lightly, "Denham, you should understand your current situation."

"As a prisoner, you have no right to ask questions, only the obligation to answer."

"Now, I ask, you answer."

"You're a smart man, and I don't want to coerce you by means, but you should know what happens if you don't cooperate."

"Coerced me?" Lord Denham shook his head: "I have lost my territory and title, and now I am no different from death. How can you coerce me?"

"Kill me? Although the Witch of Light will lose control in a short time, are you sure the Witch of Shadow will allow you to do this? Kill me, and the Witch of Light will die too."

Hearing Lord Denham's words, Roy smiled: "Denham, do you know that death is not the scariest thing in this world, there are many ways to make your life worse than death."

"You should be very clear. Since you lost, I can't let you out. It's better to cooperate with you than to die, so that you can still maintain your dignity."

After listening to Roy's words, Lord Denham was silent. After a while, he said hoarsely, "Ask."

"I want to know, Your Highness the Second Prince, why did you instruct you to launch a 'territory merger battle' against the Blackstone Territory?" Roy said in a deep voice.

Lord Denham shook his head: "Although I don't know where you learned that it was His Royal Highness the Second Prince who let me take down the Black Stone collar, I am just a small Lord. I just complete the task according to the order, and the rest, Not at all."

"..." Roy didn't speak immediately.

He knew that Lord Denham was not lying.

With the "caution" shown by the second prince, it is true that such an obvious loophole will not be left.

"Then, did His Royal Highness the Second Prince order you to continue doing what after obtaining the Blackstone collar?" After thinking about it, Roy interrogated from a different angle.

"...Yes." Lord Denham's voice paused: "He asked me to take the leaders to celebrate this year's Fengyang Festival around Xinghu Lake."

"That's all I know."

"Whatever you want, it's up to you."

Lord Denham lowered his head, his voice was full of bleakness, he was very clear about the outcome of the loser.

But after waiting for a long time, he did not wait for Roy's "trial", he only heard the sound of footsteps fading away, and Roy's conversation with a woman:

"Shanika, be careful, don't let Denham die."

"I see, Master Roy."

Chapter 52 Under the Lake of Stars

After leaving Blackstone Prison, Roy returned to the lord's mansion with the three witches.

The information he learned from Lord Denham made him further confirm that the second prince's goal in attacking Black Stone was Xinghu.

The letter from the Duke of the Frontier states, "Don't go deep into the bottom of Xinghu Lake, there is a danger that even the Golden Knight may perish", and the second prince's request to Lord Denham is that "This year's Fengyang Festival will bring the leaders around Xinghu Lake. celebration".

The two people's "importance" to Xinghu shows that in the eyes of the old Lord Blackstone in the past, it was only a resource point for producing low-purity magic crystals-Xinghu, which is by no means as simple as it seems on the surface, which made Roy feel aroused in his heart. Explore some ideas.

Of course, he knew the truth of "listen to people's advice to eat enough", so he didn't even think about going deep into Xinghu now, he just wanted to go to the periphery of Xinghu to check first.

Until now, Roy has never seen Xinghu with his own eyes.

Today is three days before Fengyang Festival.

Although it is unclear what the second prince’s purpose is for Lord Denham to lead the people to celebrate around the Xinghu Lake during Fengyang Festival, but now that Lord Denham has failed to seize the Black Stone Territory, if the second prince still wants to On the day of Fengyang Festival, if Yu Xinghu took some kind of action, then he would definitely not let go of the last three days.

The so-called know yourself and know the enemy, and you will win every battle.The second prince is far away in the empire, so there is no way to investigate, and the intelligence is extremely lacking, but since Xinghu is so close, at least it can be arranged in advance.

After arranging the residences of Healing Witch Shanika, Shadow Witch Lilia, and Light Witch Vivienne - next to the small courtyard where he lived, Roy called Shadow Witch Lilia to set off together to Star Lake.

As for the healing witch Shanika, she needs to stay in the Blackstone Territory to guard the Iron Mountain Knights. Of course, the more important thing is that Roy always feels that Shanika after completely decontaminating and coming out from the bottom of the Blackstone Prison , inexplicably a little "little danger".

Vivienne, the Witch of Light, just recovered from a semi-out of control yesterday, so it's not advisable to keep walking around now, she still needs to rest more.

……

Star Lake is located 6000 meters to the east of the lord's mansion. The water of the lake is clear and blue. Every night, the starry sky is reflected.

The surrounding area of ​​Xinghu Lake is a large dense forest, where ferocious beasts appear occasionally, and hunters often come here to try their luck. If they can catch a white bear by luck before the winter, then this year's winter will be much easier.

Of course, the white bear's fighting power is extremely strong, and because it is approaching winter, it needs to store a lot of fat, and its desire to attack is stronger than usual. Even a formal knight, under normal circumstances, would not be willing to face such a beast alone. In the meantime, who is the hunter and who is the prey depends on each other's methods.

The unlucky ones who die in the mouth of the white bear every year will always hear a few.

When Roy and Shadow Witch Lilia walked through the dense forest and arrived at the shore of Star Lake, it was almost noon.

Under a big tree by the lake, the shadows were like fluid, condensing into the bodies of Roy and Lilia.

Roy lowered his head and looked at his body, with surprise flashing in his eyes.

The feeling of being moved by the power of shadow for the first time is very strange, just like entering a "special tunnel" and walking through it quickly.

In the shadows, there seems to be another world?

Roy thought wildly, and then he restrained himself, raised his head and cast his gaze in front of him.

The sight in his pupils made his eyes widen slightly.

Star Lake under the sun, the blue water of the lake is shining with brilliance, and the ripples rippling in the breeze stir people's heartstrings.A few fawns were drinking water by the lake, completely unaware that two uninvited guests came not far behind them.

"Is this Star Lake?"

The sudden sound made the fawn drinking water panic and flee.

Roy walked to the lake and looked at his reflection in the lake, his face full of amazement.

This is just the Star Lake at noon, if it is rumored to be the Star Lake at night, how beautiful should it be?

Beside Roy, the shadow witch Lilia's eyes also showed light.

She has heard about the name of Star Lake, but she has been coerced by Lord Denham to help him after she came to Iron Mountain Territory, so she never had the chance to come to Star Lake to watch.

Although she is a witch, she is only a young girl in her twenties, so how could she not like beautiful things?

Noticing Lilia's reaction beside him, Roy came back to his senses and smiled knowingly, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he walked to the side of Star Lake, squatted down, and stretched out his hand to hold a handful of lake water.

The water in Star Lake that was held up was very clean and clear, but after perceiving it carefully, Roy narrowed his eyes slightly.

From the lake water, he felt an extremely weak magic power.

Such a low concentration of magical lake water will not cause any harm to the living beings' bodies, and even drinking for a long time can improve the living beings' physique.

Reid had told Roy about the mysteries of Xinghu Lake.

However, the lake water of Xinghu Lake will only change in the week before the "Plenty Soil Festival" every year, because this kind of lake water is only effective for official knights to drink once or twice before, and they are worried that taking the lake water will affect the lower The production of the pure magic crystal had an impact, and over the years, the old Lord of Blackstone has ordered that no one come to Xinghu to fetch water when the "Festival of Rich Soil" is approaching.

What Roy cares about is not the weak magic power contained in the water of Star Lake, what he cares about is the cause of this change.

The star lake water will contain weak magic power, which means that there must be a source of magic power.

And this source is most likely the second prince's goal, and it is also what the border duke said that the depths of the lake can bring death danger to the golden knight.

Roy let go of his hand, and the cool lake water flowed from between his fingers, creating ripples on the surface of the lake. He stood up and stared at the surface of the lake, trying to see things at the bottom of the lake through the water.

It's a pity that the lake is too deep, even if it is very clear, it is not completely transparent after all. Blocked by layers of impurities, all Roy can see is the blue lake.

"Lilia, do you have any special feelings about this lake?" Roy turned his head and looked at Lilia, the shadow witch beside him.

The Shadow Witch's strength is much stronger than him, maybe she can perceive something different, maybe.

Hearing Roy's words, Lilia closed her eyes and tried her best to perceive. A few seconds later, she opened her eyes: "Master Roy, except for the extremely small amount of magic power in the lake, there is nothing special about Star Lake."

Roy thought for a while and said, "Then can you perceive which place has the highest concentration of magic power in the lake?"

"That's fine." Shadow Witch Lilia nodded, "It's in the center of the lake, relatively speaking, where the concentration of magic power is the highest."

"In the middle of the lake..." Roy said thoughtfully, "Come on, let's row to the middle of the lake to see the situation."

Chapter 53 The Change of the Original Sin Rubik's Cube

It is said to row a boat to the center of the lake, but in fact there are no boats around Star Lake, so Roy can only build a simple wooden boat manually.

Of course, relying on his own words, it is not so easy to build a boat, even a simple wooden boat, but he has the shadow magic power Lilia!

The power of shadow has infinite uses, and the sharpness of the condensed shadow blade is even more impressive. Not to mention cutting iron like mud, but it is still easy to cut down trees and build ships.

After Lilia took the shot, she quickly cut down a few small trees by the lake and tied them tightly with rattan. In this way, a simple raft was completed.

Such a "shoddy" raft will be scrapped after a few uses, but as a "temporary water vehicle", it is undoubtedly qualified.

Holding the two chopped oars, Roy happily stepped onto the raft and called Lilia to come up.

Just when Lilia was about to take the oar in Roy's hand, Roy refused:

"Just leave things like rowing to me."

"I'm a good rower!"

Roy smiled confidently at Lilia's white teeth.

When he was still in Blue Star, he once participated in a dragon boat competition, and his team even got a good result of No.2!

Seeing Roy's confident look, Lilia was dubious.In her subconscious mind, as a guard, it is normal for her to help the lord row a boat. Moreover, can Roy, who is "well-clothed and well-fed", really know how to row a boat?

After hesitating for a while, Lilia finally nodded silently, just thinking about what she should say when the raft was not moving or spinning on the lake later, so as to better take care of Lord Roy's face.

What surprised Lilia was that as Roy paddled the oars professionally, the raft moved towards the center of the lake steadily and quickly.
