Chapter 2724 The Witches' Rescue
Even with Danister Gustav's thirteen rings of experience, he still couldn't calm down completely at this moment:
"After we woke up, we retreated immediately. I knew the danger, so I went to ask Mr. Davis for help. The hermits knew this place."
Mr. Steve Davis, who was still in shock, covered his chest and said:
"How did you find this place? Although the lake is marked on the map, it is impossible to walk into it even if you look at the map.
This is the legendary 'Love Lake', one of the most dangerous areas in Vista Forest. In the Fifth Age, lovers believed that this heart-shaped lake could bring love, so many people came here to pray for love and marriage. But since when, some evil power has descended here, and lovers who have disappeared in the town will sink into the water of this lake holding hands the next day.
He recalled the terrible Fifth Epoch secrets he had seen in the cult's documents:
"No one knows what is here. It is even rumored that the Witch Emperor of the Fifth Era was afraid of the power here. But isn't this place sealed? I originally thought that the so-called Love Lake was just one of the many secrets that this forest has buried."
Although the hermits knew this place, they did not dare to enter the water. When Miss Danister found them and confirmed that this was the "Love Lake", the restless cat finally did not want to wait and jumped into the lake.
Just at that moment, Shad, who had sunk into the lake hand in hand with Flora Winslet, began to float slightly, so the cat bit his clothes and dragged him to the edge of the lake.
No one knows how the cat did it, but no one would think that just because a cat can do it, they can do it too.
Miss Danister was talking to Mr. Davis, the elder of the hermits, about what had just happened, while she hugged Shad tightly, as if she was afraid that he would step into the lake again.
The evening breeze blew, and the woodland illuminated by the setting sun made a rustling sound. Xia De, with his mind half empty, recalled everything that had just happened. He had inexplicably sunk into the lake for a whole day. Now that he had woken up, he suddenly asked in his heart:
"It's finally realistic now, right?"
【certainly. 】
"She" replied gently, which proved that it was no longer a dream, because the ancient language she used had not been imitated by anyone so far.
"Just now, why didn't you wake me up in my dream? Can even you block that power?"
"She" laughed softly, and Shade realized that he shouldn't ask this question, but "she" still gave an answer:
[How do you think the fog you saw last appeared? ]
Mia continued to "roar" at the lake, and flames had already ignited on the cat's tail. She noticed that Shade turned around to face the lake, and thought that Shade was going to go in again, so she immediately bit his trouser leg.
But Shad just bent down and picked it up, gently stroking the cat that saved his life. The cat then called gently, while Shad's eyes were always fixed on Flora Winslet who was sleeping at the bottom of the lake.
"I have a companion down there. You can leave the others alone for now, but I want to rescue her."
He said to Mr. Davis, and the middle-aged hermit shook his head like a leaf in the wind:
"Don't even think about stepping into the water again. I don't know how your cat did it, but you are definitely the only person in history who can wake up and survive from the Lake of Love. Don't go in, absolutely don't go in!"
"What will happen if we don't save them?"
The red-haired girl pointed toward the lake, but she still held onto Shade's arm and wouldn't let go.
"They will sink into a happy dream until their life ends, and their bodies and souls will melt into part of the lake. Maybe you can ask the cat to save her again, just like the cat saved you just now."
The hermit gave the most feasible suggestion at the moment, but when Shad touched Mia, he found that it just bared its teeth at the lake and had no intention of going there again.
Although he wanted to rescue Flora, he would never let the cat that had just saved his life take risks again.
The history of the Hermits of the Forest can also be traced back to the ancient times, and although they know a lot about the secrets of the Vestal Forest, they do not know everything.
They only knew about the danger and horror of this heart-shaped "Love Lake", but they had no means to deal with it. When Shade, who had recovered a little, asked who sealed this place in the first place, Mr. Davis still shook his head:
"I just remember that the book said not to come here alone or with only two people. In theory, the more people there are, the safer it is."
The sunset gradually faded in the sky, and the moon and stars gradually became clear in the dim sky. The starlight seemed to be attracted by the lake, because when the color of the sunset disappeared, the starlight appeared in the almost transparent lake.
The wind blew the lake gently, and the starlight in the lake also swayed layer by layer. The starlight emitted a stronger force that attracted people to walk into the water, forcing the people by the lake to continue to evacuate the camp as night fell.
The hermits temporarily returned to their own base to help search for more documents to confirm the situation here. Seeing that there was really no other way, while the girls were preparing to set up camp, Xia De blew the butterfly flute.
Amid the melodious flute sounds, large flocks of butterflies appeared around Xia De, and then the girls in black and white dresses appeared in front of Xia De together.
"Good evening, sir. The coffin has not been repaired yet."
They were about to lift their skirts to elegantly salute Xia De, but suddenly they cried out "Ah~" and saw the lake:
"Sir, where is this? Why are you in such a dangerous place?"
Although the twins have lived from the middle of the Fifth Era to the present day, they have never been here. However, with their perception of top-level angel-level relics, they can clearly recognize how terrifying it is to be here:
"The desire for happiness, this lake. Sir, what happened?"
A brand new campsite has been built, and for safety reasons, Grace and Helen personally blessed the campsite to prevent anyone from accidentally walking into the lake.
Although Miss Danister had seen the two sisters before, she was not very familiar with them. She told the two sisters everything that happened today again by the campfire, and Shad also told her own experience.
"The power of this lake is greater than our current power."
Grace finally whispered the conclusion that they also did not dare to touch the lake water rashly because they also had a strong desire for happiness.
The only attempt made by the two sisters was to use the space force to try to bring Flora Winslet up from the bottom of the water. But obviously they failed, because the interference of space force was prohibited in the "Love Lake", and this restriction was imposed by a being more powerful than them.
Since Grace and Helen had no other options, Shad could only continue looking for someone.
He first ordered Miss Bell to enter the parliament to see if she could meet other great witches, then he ordered Grace and Helen to protect the camp, leaving Mia behind as well, and then returned to Tobesk alone.
So twenty minutes later, with the help of Grace and Helen, Miss Sylvia opened the space tunnel and came to Vista Woodland, and met up with Miss Danister and her group at the camp by the lake.
Ten minutes later, the portal was opened again by the Red Butterfly Twins. Count Bella Belindel, who happened to meet Miss Bell in the association, also came here with her personal maid Matilda and five high-level maids.
At 7:10 in the evening, Grace and Helen were called by Shad again to leave here temporarily, but they soon came back through the portal with Dorothy. Then the three of them merged and worked together to open a new portal, allowing Grandma Cassandra and Miss Swift to come to the woods together.
Fifteen minutes later, with the sound of dense footsteps coming from the woods, the "Chocobo Transport Team" carrying Shad, Luvia, Iluna, Miss Elf, Tifa, Vanessa and dozens of high-ring witch followers arrived at the outskirts of the camp.
Luvia, Tifa and Vanessa were sent directly to the elf lady's tree house through the portal opened by Dorothy and the others. After meeting up with Shade and Iluna, they rode their Chocobos here with the elves who had lent them their mounts.
It can be seen that the Chocobos are also very afraid of this big lake. Even when led by the elf lady, they only dare to gather together in the camp farthest from the lake.
Everyone got off the Chocobo. Iluna, who was holding the Night Watcher she brought from St. Teresa's Square No. 6, had her heterochromatic eyes flashing for a moment. Then she swung her sword forward fiercely, but the glowing long sword hit nothing.
"What on earth is this place? I actually feel like I want to enter the lake, too."
She was going to leave Tobesk the next morning, but when Shad went to find Luvia, the fortune teller still asked Shad to take her with him to prevent any accidents.
"Ms. Belindel, Miss Sylvia, Granny Cassandra, I am sorry to bother you so late at night."
With his clothes dry, Xia De went to greet the Countess with a birthmark on her forehead, the black-haired Space Witch, and the Old Witch in the camp. They all shook their heads:
"Something happened to Flora. Now that we know about it, we can't just ignore it."
Mother-in-law Cassandra wore a black dress and seemed to be in a hurry:
"Devlin is not in the [Spiritual Cult], but I left a letter for her. She will come over soon after she sees it."
Miss Sylvia saw Vanessa and Shade appear together, so she asked again:
"Why didn't Carina come with you?"
It was Tifa who answered her in a maid dress. Her black hair stood out among the other girls.
"The young lady is currently attending a diplomatic reception at Yodel Palace. She originally wanted to come along, but Shad said that if she was needed, Miss White and Miss Black should bring her over."
