Chapter 335 The Legend of Yinguang Lake
According to the information provided by Yu Mei, the treasure hidden by Red Beard is indeed near Yinguang Lake, but the specific location is not indicated. Xiao Lin and Lilith discussed it privately for a long time that night, but they also did not get too many answers.
They have many speculations, such as somewhere in the village or directly buried deep in Yinguang Lake, but this place is not the first time that people have been visited. Since others have not found it, it means that the burial place cannot be that simple.
"It's a pity that the information was left in Wildfire Town." Xiao Lin felt a little regretful. He didn't expect it to be useful when he left, but fortunately his memory was pretty good.
"I took a look at Yinguang Lake during the day, and the lake water there was fresh water." Lilith said.
"freshwater?"
Xiao Lin was stunned and immediately reacted: "I have seen similar news before. Inland lakes are usually lagoons when completely sealed, but if there are external waters connected, they are mostly freshwater lakes. Although I don't know if the rules of the Norma World are the same, if Yinguang Lake is a freshwater lake..."
Most natural laws in the Norma world are very similar to those of the earth, which is also the main reason why everyone is so keen on colonization. If that is the case, it also means that there are other channels at the bottom of Yinguang Lake that are likely to be connected to another place.
Both of them are pretty good. Based on the information they inquired from the elderly in the local village, it can be confirmed that there are basically no threatening beasts at the bottom of Yinguang Lake, and Yinguang Lake is not deep, so safety can be guaranteed.
The next morning, Xiao Lin was ready to take the lakeside. The clear lake water was sparkling. Not far away, several villagers were looking at it. Their identity of outsiders had spread throughout the village in just one night. Xiao Lin could clearly feel those awe-inspiring eyes. No one dared to approach, and a few children wanted to run over, looking at Xiao Lin like an alien watching, but they were soon scolded by the old people and walked away.
Lilith and Ibeya were responsible for observation and alert on the shore, while Xiao Lin was responsible for going into the water to explore. The lake was very cool, but probably the physical fitness was improved after entering the black iron level, and this water temperature was nothing.
The visibility in the clear lake water is also very high. However, Xiao Lin, who went into the water several times, did not find anything. Yinguang Lake is very large, but there are not many places that are suspected of hiding treasures or underground waters leading to other waters. After careful investigation throughout the day, if Xiao Lin shivered a little, there would be no other gains.
When he returned to the village after work in the evening, one of the three prisoners took the initiative to find Xiao Lin in a hesitation. Under Ibeya's translation, the man hesitated and said that he might know some information about the treasure, but was not sure whether it would be useful.
This person has a low status in the Red Beard Mercenary Group, but it is not low. Occasionally, he also has the opportunity to meet the leader Red Beard himself. When he met one after another, the drunk Red Beard once accidentally revealed this sentence: He cracked the myths and legends of Yinguang Lake and mastered the biggest secret of Yinguang Lake. This secret made Red Beard grow from a poor and mediocre villager to become one of the most powerful families in Baiyin Province in just a few years.
The legend of Yinguang Lake is a very intriguing topic. This prisoner only knows these things. After all, he is not the confidant of Red Beard. His words still make Xiao Lin and Lilith confused, but Ibeya showed a surprised or even shocked expression.
These prisoners have been actively pleased them in the past two days, trying to allow them to leave because of this. Xiao Lin also clearly told them that if there is information that is useful to him, it is not impossible to let them go.
Just as the earth has countless myths and stories in its history for millions of years, there are countless legends in the long river of history in the Norma world, and because this world is built on magical laws, these legends are richer.
Both Xiao Lin and Lilith's history classes obviously do not include these low-credibility legends and myths, but Ibeya, who has received Norma's local comparative systematic education, is very familiar with this.
There is indeed a very beautiful legend in Yinguang Lake. According to legend, in the ancient times of the Norma World, there was a king of the Norma World. He was extremely brave and had a powerful force compared to that of no one. He led mankind to fight south and north, trying to unify the world. When passing by Yinguang Lake, he met a beautiful girl, and the two quickly fell in love.
However, like all the bloody stories, because the lowly bloodline of a girl could not be recognized by the royal family, she felt that the combination of the king and the girl was an insult to the entire royal family. So when the king was out to fight, someone attacked the unarmed girl and killed her.
The king was furious when he came back to learn about it, but he was unable to resist the royal family with huge foundations. Finally, he was sad and blasted a huge hole here, buried the girl in it, and then lured the sea water to fill it, thus forming the current Yinguang Lake.
The story itself has no highlights, especially for Xiao Lin, who has watched various romance TV series and novels, this legend has no tear points.
But since Red Beard said that he had cracked the legend of Yinguang Lake, it was a bit concerning, Xiao Lin, Lilith and Ibeya discussed all night long.
If there is any secret or truth hidden in this legend, there is only one thing. If Yinguang Lake is a tomb for burying girls, it means that there should be a huge tomb at the bottom of the lake.
Xiao Lin's imagination was very clear, and even recalled the various tomb robbery novels he had read back then, telling the basic knowledge of tomb robbery in a spirit, although he was not sure whether these things would work in the Norma world.
But Ibeya poured a basin of cold water on him. The girl shook her head and even said a little strangely: "Where did the tombs come from? There were no tombs in ancient times. I know what kind of coffins and other things you outsiders like to use to put people dead. But a long time ago, our world was taboo about this kind of thing. Our life was given by the gods. After death, we returned to the embrace of the gods. Therefore, the best burial is to have direct contact with nature."
Lilith understood: "So even if this legend is real, the girl was just buried directly in the soil by the king, without a tomb or even a coffin."
Xiao Lin smiled bitterly: "Then so many years have passed, maybe even the bones may not be left."
