He wasn't sure if this was the Shelley Garden mentioned in Moya's handwritten notes. Angor suddenly recalled that Moya once had a relationship with Lucas, and she even gave birth to a child for him.
When Lucas was mocked by everyone as a liar and decided to end his life in despair, would he come to Mu Ya at the last moment to see his son?
If he really came to look for Mu Ya, would he jump into the well out of sadness?
Angor's curiosity got the better of him as he walked toward the well covered by dried grass.
Neet and Sonna followed them. Sonna was still confused, but when Neet saw Patt standing next to the well, he immediately remembered the two days when they were searching for the well.
"Is this well more than three thousand years old?" Angor looked at Neet.
Neet hesitated. "I think so, but I'm not sure."
Angor then looked at Sonna. "Why is this covered with dried grass?"
"It's been abandoned for a long time. There's no water in it, but there's a storage room down there. We used it as a cellar to store our vegetables. The grass is used to prevent anything dirty from getting in and spoiling the vegetables. "
Neet seemed to have remembered something as well. "I remember now. When I was a kid, I went down there for fun. It was full of vegetables. I was too young to get up there. I cried for a long time before Aunt Neville found me and carried me up."
"Oh, so my mother saved your life." Sonna glanced at Neet.
Neet scratched his head and chuckled.
Angor used his spirit feelers to check the well while they were talking. It was only about ten meters deep. As Sonna said, there was a small path down there, which probably led to the storage room she mentioned.
According to Neet, the storage room should have been here a long time ago. Could it have been here since three thousand years ago?
Angor stood at the mouth of the well and pondered.
He already decided not to get involved with Lucas' business, but the well was right in front of him, and no one from Song of the Deep or Summerdew Ridge was watching him. It wouldn't take him long to check it out.
"Just to satisfy my curiosity," Angor muttered to himself. There was no harm in going down there since there was no danger.
"I'll go check it out. You guys stay outside." Angor spoke to Neet.
With that, Angor pushed the dried grass away and jumped into the well.
Sonna curiously looked at the well and whispered to Neet, "Why did Mr. Wizard jump down?"
Neet looked at Sangna and made a shushing gesture. "Whatever Mr. Wizard does has nothing to do with you or me. Remember, don't tell anyone about this. Otherwise … you won't just end up dead. "
Neet knew that there were a lot of servants who liked to sell information about Mister Padt, so he told Sanna this just in case.
Angor was still paying attention to the bottom of the well. When he heard Neet and Sangna's conversation, he curled his lips into a smile and walked toward a small path nearby.
The path was about five or six meters long. The wall of the path was smooth and covered with glowing fluorites.
Angor wondered if the Ross Clan's territory had remained the same for three thousand years. But there might be some changes in the ground due to some external factors. The storage room under the well couldn't have been preserved for so long.
The path looked new as well, which meant it wasn't built long ago.
Again, he had to return empty-handed. Angor pondered.
Soon, he arrived at the storage room. As Sangna said, the room was filled with vegetables and stored food. The small room was only about ten square meters in size, so Angor could easily see everything inside.
He looked around the room and didn't find anything out of the ordinary. Even if there were traces left behind by Lucas, they must have been lost in the passage of time. Angor was about to leave, but he didn't want to give up so easily, so he stopped and checked the room again.
This time, Angor asked Toby to use the sequence of gravity to lift all the vegetables from the ground.
When all the baskets and boxes were emptied, Angor took a closer look and still didn't find anything out of the ordinary. However, when Angor used his spirit feelers to check carefully, he noticed a line of tiny graffiti at the bottom of the wall facing the path.
Angor moved closer and noticed that the wall was covered with something greasy. Using the Cleansing spell, it took him nearly five or six minutes to remove the stains that had accumulated for an unknown number of years.
It was also at this moment that the graffiti traces that he had detected with his psychic tentacles were revealed.
When he looked over, his eyes widened and his pupils shrank a little.
It was a line of words!
But Angor was too familiar with the handwriting. Even though the words were a little crooked because they were carved on the wall, the trajectory of some of the strokes was exactly the same as the handwriting in 'Lucas's Logbook'!
"So this place really has something to do with Lucas!" Angor's heart began to race again.
He already had a hunch that this was the place where so many people from Summerdew Ridge and Song of the Deep were looking for.
He calmed himself down and began to read the book word by word.
"With my soul, I hope —"
It was only a short line of words, but the meaning was vague. What was Lucas trying to say? He thought for a moment and tried to recall if he could find something similar in the books he read before.
But there was none.
"Could it be that this sentence actually means what it says?" He considered and chanted Spirit Mantra in his mind. Soon, his soul, which looked like a real body, crawled out of his body.
As soon as his soul left his body, Angor immediately felt something wrong.
The originally empty wall was suddenly filled with countless patterns. These patterns were shining brightly in his soul state.
"So it's the literal meaning," Angor muttered to himself. While muttering to himself, he looked at the runes on the wall, which were familiar to him. They were all runes.
However, these runes were different from the ones Angor used for enchantment. They were more similar to those used by Rune Warlocks.
Angor didn't know the meaning of these runes, but it wasn't a difficult task. He just needed to figure out the meaning of each rune.
A moment later, Angor had a general idea of the runes in his mind. He returned to his body and left the well.
But before he left, he erased the words that Lucas had engraved. Angor didn't care if this was the place where he could uncover Lucas' secret. He didn't want to share it with anyone.
He stayed in the well for a long time this time. When he came out, he saw Neet looking at him with a puzzled look.
So the well Mister Padt was looking for was the one in his house? But what exactly was the meaning of the well below?
Angor glanced at Neet. "Sometimes, the more you know, the more dangerous you'll be."
"Neet, Sonna, come with me. I have something to tell you."
Neet's face paled. He glanced at Sonna who was still confused and gulped. Is Mister Padt going to kill me for knowing too much?
Angor asked them to come with him because he needed to keep the well of Shelley Garden a secret. Before this, he took Neet to look for the well. Since they couldn't find any clues, Angor didn't care if Neet told others about it.
However, when he confirmed that the well in Shelley Garden was indeed related to Lucas, and that it was most likely the well that Lucas had recorded in his diary that he had jumped into, then the matter of confidentiality should be brought up.
As for killing Neet … well, Angor didn't think about it.
There were cruel ways to deal with things, and there were gentle ways to deal with them.
Neet already left a good impression on Angor, so he didn't need to kill Neet to keep his mouth shut.
Neet's heart almost jumped out of his chest when he arrived at Angor's temporary room with trepidation.
"You look scared?" Angor asked in a plain tone.
Neet quickly shook his head.
He looked down and saw Neet holding Sangna's hand because he was too nervous and scared. Sonna didn't look scared at all. Instead, she blushed because Neet was holding her hand so tightly.
"Taking advantage of a lady for personal reasons? That's not something a noble would do," Angor teased.
Sonna blushed even harder when she heard Angor's words. She pushed Neet's hand away and stepped away from him.
Neet, on the other hand, was taken aback.
"Alright, I asked you to come because I have something important to tell you. Don't worry, it won't be dangerous. "Neet and Sunna looked at Angor in surprise.
In the next second, their eyes began to blur. Streaks of nightmare aura emerged from Angor's fingertips and went into their foreheads.
Angor didn't stay idle while traveling on the sea. He learned a lot about the basic illusions of all major schools of Illusionist. Through basic illusions, Angor was able to alter their original memories and create a new chain of memories for what happened today.
Sonna's memories were easier to modify. Angor only needed to shorten the few minutes he spent in the well. Neet's memories, on the other hand, needed more time since he had to change all the memories of them searching for the well together.
Ten minutes later, Angor snapped his fingers and woke both of them up.
Neet's mind went blank for a second. Then, when he saw the blue water in his hand, he remembered that he was chatting with Sang Na by the well when Mister Padt suddenly showed up and told them to come here. Then, Mister Padt gave him the blue water.
"Thank you, sir." Neet looked at Angor with gratitude.
"I'll be leaving in a couple of days. I saw you and Sangna getting along quite well. Do you need me to put in a few good words for you to Count Ross?"
Sonna blushed in embarrassment.
Neet finally realized that Mister Padt had brought Sanna here just to help them out! Sonna's identity made it difficult for them to stay together. But if Mister Padt could help them, it would be a great help.
Neet nodded without hesitation. "Thank you so much, sir."
"I'll put in a few words for you before I leave. I'm a bit tired now, so you can leave now."
After Neet and Sonna left happily, Angor took out a pen and paper and began to analyze the runes he just recorded.
