586 584 What Causes Lake Anomalies?

The next morning.

Eat my handmade pancakes and be in a good mood. Fran was headed to the tent of Weena Lane.

I was called in to talk to you.

"Oh, dear."

"Morning, Fran. I need to talk to you a little bit."

Weena Lane greets me there, and she cuts out the story. There seemed to be a subtle rush on that face.

"What's going on?

"You know there's something wrong with this lake, right?

"Mm-hmm. There's gonna be a moddle"

"Yes. That's it. Honestly... I didn't know why that was happening. That didn't happen until last year..."

I guess the anomaly has really happened very recently.

"I want you to explore the cause of this anomaly."

"I?"

"Yeah, because you're the strongest one I can ask for. I'll temporarily solve the escort job."

"Master?"

"Fran, too, is concerned about the lake anomaly, right? I've run into Modoki many times."

"Mmm."

"Then I think you can take it."

"Okay."

Besides, Fran is now employed by Weena Lane, and if he's been assigned a new job, it'll be until he does.

It would be subtle if they told me it was the instructor's job.

However, we are not complaining because we are going to investigate the lake anomalies that we were concerned about.

But I had one question.

"Isn't it faster for Weena Lane to move herself?

An ocean magician manipulating water, a spiritual user who seems to be effective for reconnaissance. Besides, he has a local face, power and money. A lake survey would definitely be better suited to Weena Lane.

But they can't do that. In my words, Weena Lane shook her head to the side.

"I don't want to get as close to the lake as I can with all the circumstances."

"? Still close"

"This is the critical place. You can't go in the water."

"Why?"

"This... is useless, isn't it? Because if it leaks to another country, it won't be a lot of things."

"Okay. I'll never say it."

"That said, I don't have time to tell you everything. I'll explain it gently."

"Mmm."

"First, at the bottom of Lake Vivian, a certain warcraft is sealed"

"Warcraft?

"Yeah. That's more than a threat a certain, the Great Warcraft."

I've heard stories in Kiarazen before, but they say the Great Lake of Vivian was a smaller lake in the past. But by being connected to the sea by a natural mutation, and then separated from the sea again, it became what is now a large lake.

In fact, this natural mutation was caused by the warcraft.

He felt the presence of the Great Spirit who dwelt on Lake Vivian while in the sea, and tried to devour its power.

And they connected the sea to the lake in order to reach beneath the Spirit.

"In the end, the Lake Spirit was eaten by the Warcraft, and the Warcraft gained tremendous power. I was wondering if the whole continent would be hit by a major disaster."

Originally, the Great Warcraft took in the Great Spirit enough to sink parts of the continent into the sea. That's what it didn't seem strange to be certified as a Threat S.

If you storm out, the Zilbard continent will surely be doomed.

But a Wiener Lane acquaintance succeeded in sealing the beast. They cut off from the sea, which is also the source of the power of the Warcraft, and sealed the Warcraft at the bottom of the newly created lake.

Warcraft is the presence of sea habitats, and they say they weaken even if they are only in true water for long periods of time.

And after the acquaintance died, Weena Lane took over the seal and protected it.

They didn't tell me more about acquaintances and doing it, but maybe it's a high elf. Because that tone felt dear, and enough to deliberately take over the seal after death.

"At the same time as the takeover of the seal, I became in a contractual state with that warcraft. Precisely by contracting with the Guardian Spirit of the lake taken in by the Warcraft, we are also contracting with the Warcraft, right?

"Guardian Spirit, are you alive?

"You can't say you're alive because you're a spirit, but you haven't vanished yet. integrated with the Warcraft and continues to exist"

By using that contract with the Spirit, Weena Lane is turning the Great Warcraft under seal to adultery, he said.

"Some of the power of that warcraft and the Spirit is taken in by me. So when I go into the lake, its power engages with the Warcraft, and both are activated"

So it seems that Weena Lane is not close to the lake. Still, he talked to the spirits living in the lake in an attempt to find out what caused the anomaly, but he didn't get the guidelines.

"In the first place, what is Vivian Guardian, who is a major source of modoki? I hear it's not just a warcraft. What does that have to do with that sealed Great Warcraft?

"Vivian Guardian is the guardian to protect the seal. Well, it wasn't me, it was produced by the Spirit in the Warcraft."

So? It seems that Vivian Guardian does not attack people himself and tries to eliminate those who approach a certain place.

"If you're attacked, what's the rampage?

"I don't know everything either, but I think it's for warning. We keep those approaching the seal from appearing frequently."

"I see."

And then I asked what I cared about.

"Is that Spirit's name Lane?

"Oh? How do you know?

'Cause that's what they call it.

"I saw him yesterday."

Fran takes over my word. It was right after that. Weena Lane's attitude changes dramatically.

"What... what...?
