Chapter 770 - A Dead Island
Angor frowned while reading the broken piece. It seemed this should be one of the pages in Lucas’ logbook. For some reason, it was torn off.
[Year 1353, Age of Gold, Month of Looming Frost, day 8

It was short. But the date on it was pretty important. It told Angor that Lucas wrote this entry on the second day after he “suicided”, and this page was the last page of the logbook.
“Lucas said he waited for death under the well… so who took his bones here?”
By saying “hidden treasures”, Lucas probably meant to let his child go through the strange portal by using their blood.
Were there treasures hidden on this ship?
Until now, Angor had not figured out whether Lucas was “loyal” or a downright liar. With nothing else to go by, he put away the journal page and was going to search whether there were treasures to be found.

Toby’s call interrupted his thoughts. He looked that way and saw Toby hovering above the lake water while holding another Luminous Stone lamp in his beak.
Angor immediately saw what Toby wanted to show him. At the center of the lake, there was a tiny stick submerged in the water. While only a very short part of it was above water level, the shadow under the surface proved that it must be a pretty long stick.
He took out a Luminous Stone and tossed it into the water, which slowly sank and revealed a gigantic shadow at the bottom of the lake.
