"Hey, hey, can you hear me?" An unfamiliar female voice came from afar. The voice was ethereal and sweet, but it didn't carry any emotion. It was like the quiet waters of a lake.
This was the first time the people in the Mystic Lock had heard another person's voice. They couldn't help but be on guard.
"Haha, don't be nervous. To show my sincerity, let me introduce myself. My name is Ellista, the legendary Lake Witch. Welcome to my home." The voice paused for a moment before continuing, "Honorable guests, I have good news and bad news to tell you. Which one do you want to hear first?"
Everyone was silent. Most of the people present had never heard of the Lake Witch, and the name Ellista was even stranger to them. No one dared to speak before they figured out the other party's background. After all, they were in her territory. It was better to let someone else do the talking. Everyone had the same thought, and in the end, everyone was silent.
However, this wasn't a problem for the wise Lake Witch. Since they couldn't see or hear each other in the Mystic Lock, she naturally didn't know their reactions. Therefore, the voice continued, "Very well. Since most of you chose to listen to the good news first, I'll tell you the good news. You're very lucky. Although I've been living in this lake, I've been sleeping most of the time. I happened to wake up tonight, and I'm in a good mood. So, I've decided to give a small gift to the first person who sees me. But before that, we'll play a few games."
At this time, someone finally couldn't help but ask, "What's the bad news?"
"Haha, you'll know the bad news after you finish the game," Lake Witch Ellista said with a chuckle.
Louisa looked at the cosplay guy as if he was an idiot. The fox masked man had somehow turned his voice into a mysterious female voice, and he could even transmit his voice into the magic formation. Now, as long as he spoke, everyone in the Mystic Lock would be able to hear him. After that, he excitedly began to cosplay.
"Who is Lake Witch Ellista? Why have I never heard of this name? " After the fox masked man put down the strange lip-shaped magic device in his hand, the female Archer could not help but ask.
"Ha, you mean the banshee in the lake? This is actually a folklore from more than 900 years ago. At that time, Roland had just become a Magician, and the power of magic was shown to the world for the first time. Many people were shocked."
The man in the fox mask picked his nose as he told the story. "Well, you know humans. They tend to mystify things they don't understand, so there was a saying among the people that Roland's magical ability to summon wind and rain was actually bestowed by a banshee named Ellista. This banshee lived in a large lake called Tigris in the depths of the Endless Forest Sea. Hahaha, you'll know how ridiculous this saying is. Roland has never been to the Endless Forest Sea, but because the Endless Forest Sea is very mysterious, and so is magic, everyone thinks that the Endless Forest Sea must have something to do with Roland being able to learn magic. Oh, oh, oh, oh, I can't. Every time I think about this kind of thing, I laugh until my stomach hurts." The man in the fox mask was laughing so hard that his legs were in the air.
"… …"
The Archmage on the other side was also speechless. When Luo Bu heard Ellista's name, he almost spat out a mouthful of water. Come on, even if he wanted to fabricate an identity, he should at least put some effort into it. Using this kind of rural legend from 900 years ago to fool people, what kind of bad taste did this guy have?
Although most of the people in the magic circle were confused, Your Honor, the future supreme magus, was sure that after tonight, those who had never heard of this name would try their best to find out the truth. He just didn't know what kind of expression they would have when they got the answer.
However, as the only person in the magic circle who was not affected by the fog, Archmage quickly found the source of the voice. Unfortunately, the person who lured them here tonight was a wretched guy who obviously did not have the awareness to put himself in danger. The one who spoke was a black golem, and it was not much better than its owner. It was nesting in the middle of the man-made lake with only its head above the water surface. Its wooden mouth opened and closed mechanically, but it was producing an ethereal and sweet female voice. The scene was as strange as it could be. Rob shuddered. He realized that sometimes, it was not a good thing to see things too clearly. "Alright, the first game is about to begin.
The person who gets the last bean will be the winner, and the loser will be punished accordingly. Take note, in the first game, you are not allowed to attack each other. The person who attacks first will be kicked out. Finally, I wish you good luck in advance. Oh, wait, I almost forgot, only half of you will be lucky. Hehe, enjoy the game. To prevent some of you from slacking, I have specially added a punishment mechanism in the game. If you lose, the consequences will be very serious. "
After Lake Witch Ellista finished speaking, the fog in front of them gradually thinned. At the same time, after a brief hesitation, almost everyone chose to break into a run.
No one wanted to play some baffling game of beans with a suspicious fellow in the middle of the night. However, reality forced them to lower their heads.
Ever since they were trapped by this strange magical array, they did not sit still and wait for death. They thought of various methods during this period of time, but unfortunately, none of them worked in the end. Perhaps the only good news was that they should still be in the Siamos Academy's territory. In that case, as long as they held on until dawn, the teachers would naturally discover the abnormal situation here. Therefore, the smartest thing to do now was to first comply with the other party's intentions and do their best to satisfy the other party's demands in order to ensure their own safety during this period of time. In any case, the longer they dragged on, the more advantageous the situation would be for them.
