Chapter 69: The Fisher King
triggered the mission, which was still an expert level. Wayne subconsciously wanted to take it.
But in an instant, he froze again. Lala was a believer of the Lady of the Lake. His brother was kidnapped by a half-murloc, and the half-murloc was relying on the evil god Dagon, who was also commonly known as the evil god of the ocean, Dagon.
Wayne was a little unsure as to whether this was just an ordinary kidnapping, or whether it involved a fight between two gods.
The demon hunter in front of him was hesitant. Lara blinked her big ugly eyes, reached out and grabbed Wayne's trouser legs, raised her head and looked at him with pleading eyes, and said, "Can you help me rescue my brother?
" Wayne?"
"I don't know who to ask for help anymore."
Looking at the pitiful Lara, Wayne thought about it. In the original book, Geralt helped the Lady of the Lake defeat the evil god Dagon before he was killed. The goddess canonized him as a Knight of the Lady of the Lake and gave him the sword of the Lady of the Lake.
Since even Geralt, the osteoporosis patient, can defeat this so-called evil god.
Come to think of it, the evil god Dagan is not a very powerful guy, and the mission is shown as expert level difficulty, so there should not be any very dangerous situations.
I can take this opportunity to get closer to the Lady of the Lake.
In the wizarding world, the Lady of the Lake is a mysterious creature called a nymph. She is a mysterious elf born from nature. She often appears in the form of a beautiful girl. Like the Dijing who can grant wishes, she has magical powers. strength.
Not only in lakes, but also in some mountains, forests, wilderness, and springs, such beautiful mythical creatures may be born. The goddess of the lake is the most powerful and well-known among them.
There were even a large number of noble knights who believed in the Lady of the Lake. In order to promote the five virtues of knights taught by the Lady of the Lake, they performed chivalrous acts throughout the continent and did many good deeds.
Whether it is for future benefits or justice in the world, helping the Lady of the Lake is a good choice.
Thinking of this, Wayne chose to accept the task in his mind, then looked down at Lala and asked:
"No problem, Lala, I will help you." "
But before that, you have to share the information you know Tell me everything, such as what your brother looks like, who captured him, and where they took your brother." "
It would be better if you knew why those half-fish people wanted to capture your brother."
After seeing that Wayne was willing to help her, Lala immediately breathed a sigh of relief. In the stories she had read, the demon hunters were all very powerful masters. No matter what kind of monster they were, the demon hunters would win in the end. .
Listening to Wayne's question, Lala frowned, crossed her arms and thought for a while, then she seemed to have thought of something, grinned and said, "By the way, a few days ago, my
brother said that he had The fishman stole a good thing and put it in our house." "
Today when he went fishing in the lake, he was suddenly surrounded by a group of half-fishmen who asked him to hand over something. My brother didn't Ken, was captured by them."
"I was small, so I hid in the water plants, so I was not discovered by the fishermen." "
Later, I heard those half-murlocs saying that they wanted to catch my brother to the Black Tern. Go to the island and dedicate it to their gods."
"There are too many of them. I don't know what to do, so I came to you."
After hearing this, Wayne roughly understood what happened, but soon became a little distressed. got up.
Black Tern Island is located in the central area of Lake Vizima. It is full of life and has no human involvement. It is home to many animals and monsters, which is quite mysterious.
But if you want to get there, you have to take a boat. Ordinary boatmen don't dare to drive there.
The witcher was not a half-murloc, and it was impossible for him to swim such a long distance and land on the small island in the center of the lake.
So, with the attitude of giving it a try, Wayne asked Lala:
"La La, Black Tern Island is located in the middle of the lake. I can't get there without a boat. Is there anything you can do?" La La frowned in distress when she
heard this. But after more than ten seconds, she suddenly opened her eyes. As soon as he lit up, he said excitedly:
"I thought of it, Wayne."
"In the swamp village lives the Fisher King. He is also a believer of the goddess, and sometimes he will sail to Black Tern Island to see the goddess. If you ask him for help, , should be able to send us to the island by boat." Wayne nodded after hearing this. He also remembered that there was a character like the Fisher King, but this person was quite mysterious. He seemed to be one of the lovers of the Lady of the Lake. He should be someone who could The character you trust will not be the half-murloc at least.
He looked at the sky and found that it was already dusk and the sun was slowly setting. In the dark environment, he wondered if those half-fish people could see in the dark like him.
However, it is urgent to save people. The strength of the half-murloc is not much stronger than that of the water ghost. As long as you are careful, there should be no big problem.
As a demon hunter, Wayne has a lot of energy, and even if he doesn't rest for a night or two, he won't feel too tired.
He touched Lala's head and said,
"Okay, Lala, I understand almost everything."
"Go home now, take out the thing your brother brought back, and then wait by the lake outside the city. Me."
"Let's go to the Fisher King all night and try to rescue your brother before dawn."
Lala nodded immediately, took a few steps towards the door with her short legs, and then seemed to think of After saying something, he looked back at Wayne and said gratefully:
"Thank you, Wayne, you are such a good person."
Looking at Lala's leaving figure, Wayne let out a breath and had no time to take a shower anymore. , put on the demon hunter's equipment again, hung both swords on his belt, then took out a bottle of Red Bull from the secret compartment where snacks were hidden, drank it down, and stuffed a few pieces of chocolate into his mouth.
Then he walked out of the house, got on his horse Lucifer, and walked towards the outside of the city.
With his magic pattern storage bag, he has basically all kinds of supplies on him, so he doesn't have to spend time preparing for battle like other demon hunters.
After riding all the way, Wayne left Vizima City before the city gate closed. After a simple search, he quickly found Lara at the agreed place in the grass by the lake.
Without any pleasantries, he held the little guy in his arms, then rode his horse and galloped towards the swamp village.
Lala had lived in this area for many years. Under the guidance of this local, the two of them rode horses, took several shortcuts, and ran a small circle around Lake Vizima, finally catching up before night fell. , came to Swamp Village.
This is a village built in a swamp, also known as the Dark Water Village. There are about a hundred people living in the village. For generations, they have made a living from the special soil in the swamp, making earthen pots and roof tiles.
When Wayne arrived here, everyone in the village had already gone to sleep, and only a few houses could still see the faint light of lights.
However, this matter was none of the villagers' business, and he didn't want to disturb the peace of these ordinary people. Soon, under the guidance of Lala, he came to a dilapidated wooden house by the lake.
The wooden house looks very ordinary, with nothing special about it. If it were not built by the lake and quite far away from the village, no one would notice it at all.
After turning over and dismounting, Wayne stretched out his hands to lift Lala, who had small arms and legs, off the horse.
This little guy also has a very lively personality and is very curious about the outside world. When riding a horse, she seemed to have forgotten about her brother's kidnapping. Her little hands could not help but stroke Lucifer's hair, and she looked like she wanted to wipe her face. It looks like it's attached.
But after arriving outside the Fisherman King's house, the little guy finally remembered the business, and his face became a little anxious again.
After dismounting, he immediately ran to the main door of the wooden house with his short legs and knocked on the door.
After about ten seconds, a faint light came on in the cabin, and then another ten seconds or so, the door of the cabin was opened, and a man holding an oil lamp, wearing shabby linen clothes, and holding a hatchet in his hand , an old man who looked quite old came out.
After walking out of the wooden house, the old man's turbid eyes first glanced at Wayne, who was seven or eight meters away. His eyes stayed on the two swords hanging on his waist for a few seconds, and then looked at the man standing at his feet who was only about 10 meters tall. The expression on the face of the half-meter-long little earth spirit Lala did not change at all. She opened her mouth and uttered a few words in a hoarse voice: "
What's the matter?"
Lala held the colorful conch given to her by the goddess of the lake in both hands. He said to the Fisher King in an anxious voice:
"My brother was captured by a half-murloc, and I want to take the witcher to rescue him." "
Please take us to Seatern Island by boat, Fisher King. "
After listening to Lala's words, the Fisher King's expression remained unchanged. He squatted down and put his ear close to the colorful conch that Lala held up.
After more than ten seconds, without knowing what he heard, the old man stood up, turned to look at a wooden boat parked not far from the wooden house, and said, "Well, let's go." (Thank you,
