Dick took the scroll and carefully looked at the location marked on it.

Professor Seir's laboratory is very close to Corvo Bianco, but it is extremely hidden.

Unexpectedly, Professor Seir actually built the laboratory under the middle of the Lake of the Goddess lake.

"In short, those experts said that Lake of the Goddess used to be elven ruins. I don't understand the rest." The bald guard scratched his head and chuckled.

However, when he looked at the food on the table, he subconsciously licked his lips.

"You came alone?" Dick put away the scroll and asked with a smile.

"Yes, I came alone. Anna Duke was afraid that others would do things, and time was tight, so I came here on horseback."

"Then have you eaten?"

"I... I'm not hungry at all, hehe." As soon as Mien finished speaking, his stomach rumbled at the right time.

"Why are you so polite? Hurry up and sit next to me. There is enough food. Butler, please add more tableware." Russell swallowed another chicken drumstick and rubbed his greasy sleeve.

"As ordered, guest, please wait here for a moment. I'll be right back."

"Then I won't be polite."

Mien sat down next to Russell and started to devour it as soon as the tableware was served.

Judging from his appetite, he is on par with a demon hunter.

After everyone finished eating, there was only the sound of Mien chewing hungrily.

After discussion, they decided to go to Professor Seir's laboratory together.

Of course, Lake of the Goddess must be haunted by Drowner, so Little Yennefer is waiting on the shore.

Little Yennefer provides everyone with a magical sound transmission device - the surface of the conch is covered with spiral patterns.

When your fingertips touch it, you can feel the water element sealed in it trembling gently.

She can use this to locate the witcher when he sneaks into Professor Seir's laboratory.

After bidding farewell to Mien, everyone set off immediately.

The butler acted quickly and had already replaced the royal carriage with a light carriage made of oak;

Although there were only two stocky camels left, their thick hoofs made them more stable on the muddy road.

Although the speed was slower, it didn't take long for everyone to arrive near Lake of the Goddess again.

Lake of the Goddess The grass on the shore is rustling, and the waves dyed amber by the scorching sun are constantly washing over the rocks.

The cool breeze carried the smell of water and blew into my face, and the sound of frogs croaked one after another.

"According to the scroll, the entrance to the laboratory is in front." Geralt carefully checked the scroll again.

"Drowner in the water still needs us to clean it up."

Little Yennefer added, "Everything will be left to you three demon hunters. I will wait for your good news on the shore."

She took out a pair of quartz sunglasses from nowhere, and took out a bamboo deck chair similar to a sun lounger from her space bag, placed it on the beach and lay down on it.

Geralt and Russell unscrewed the seal of the sealed beeswax glass bottle and drank the unpleasant liquid inside in one sip. The ferocious veins suddenly bulged on their faces.

Dick just swayed left and right to warm up and was ready to go into the water.

"Dick, why don't you take the magic potion? Although your strength has greatly increased now, we are not aquatic creatures after all."

"I practice holding my breath now in my free time. Now I can hold my breath for 20 minutes, so I don't need magic medicine."

"Just blow it. If something goes wrong in the water, call us."

After the three people got into the water, the closer they got to the center of the lake, the more bone-chilling the water temperature became.

Clumps of flocculent algae wrap around the underwater stone pillars, and there are faintly visible bones embedded in them. This is actually a nest built by the Drowner out of the bones of their prey.

In the turbidity of the lair, a large blood-red lantern lit up, it was a large group of Drowner.

The three of them all pulled out the short crossbows from their waists. The four short crossbows, with ripples caused by the water flow, hit the heads of four Drowner.

Dick secretly regrets that Russell's short crossbow is made by School of the Lynx and can shoot two at a time;

Geralt's short crossbow is from School of the Coyote, which is more powerful, but can only shoot one at a time;

And my own is just a crossbow commonly used by mercenaries. Not to mention its weak power, it can only shoot one at a time.

This round, he only killed one Drowner and gained two Energy Points points.

Dick buckled the crossbow back into the buckle with his backhand, and kicked hard on the rocks at the bottom of the lake with his legs.

The undercurrent lifted up his fiery red hair, and his whole body pierced into the Drowner group like a harpoon, and the sword edge drew dozens of silver tracks under the water.

Geralt and Russell wanted to help, but after swimming a few steps, they looked at each other and stopped.

New sharp claws were constantly tearing out from the turbid blood mist. Dick kept rolling in the water to dodge, and each swing of the sword blade accurately cut off the vital points of the throat.

When the howl of the last Drowner turned into bubbles and dissipated, the bottom of the water was filled with mutilated corpses.

Dick led the way according to his position, followed closely by the two demon hunters.

It didn't take long for them to discover underwater ruins.

The exquisite workmanship on the relief surface looks like the work of an elf at first glance.

Everyone pushed open the slightly dilapidated bronze door and stood in the water at half a person's height.

Some Drowner inside were broken by the silence and rushed towards them howling.

Russell and Geralt had just drawn out their swords, and Dick shouted, "Let me do it."

The two of them knew that Dick was murderous. This was not only the consensus within Witcher Order, but also almost the entire top management of the Panda Continent knew about it.

"Hey, what do you think we are doing here? We drank a bottle of such a terrible potion in vain." Russell muttered.

Geralt shrugged and shook his head slightly.

In the blink of an eye, Dick has solved dozens of Drowner.

He flicked his wrist to shake off the blood on the sword, and then noticed the prompt on the panel:

Kill Drowner X47 and obtain Energy Points X98. The current total is Energy Points X448.

Dick smiled sincerely and looked at the two demon hunters, "It was another hearty battle today."

The two ignored him and went to push the slightly dilapidated marble door in front of them.

But after pushing it several times, the door didn't move at all. At this time, a man's slightly nervous voice came from inside. "Who is it?"

Dick With the witcher's keen hearing, he could tell that in addition to this man, there was a woman and a child inside.

"Professor Seir, it's me, Dick."

As soon as he finished speaking, a light flashed above the energy stone inlaid on the door, and lines followed the texture on the door.

In the blink of an eye, the sound of gears inside the door clicked, and the door slowly opened.

Looking inside, it is obvious that this is an extremely spacious laboratory filled with various equipment.

In the cages embedded in the wall on the side, there are still several bleating horses, their front paws grasping the rusty railings in vain.

And right in the center of them is Professor Seir, whom Dick has not seen for more than half a year.

His right hand was trembling as he righted the broken lens, and the cuffs of his lab coat were still stained with dried purple medicine stains.

The sunken eye sockets were filled with bloodshot eyes, but when they met Dick's gaze, they burst into childlike light.
