Chapter 73 The Invitation of the Lady of the Lake
After all the half-murlocs on the scene fled, Wayne could no longer maintain the tense state of his body, and half-knelt on the ground with some limpness. The body under the armor also sent out painful signals. .
The strategy of exchanging injuries for lives just now was extremely lethal and efficient, allowing him to avoid the siege of the half-murlocs, but it also left him with more than a dozen bruises and abrasions on his body. Minutes of high-intensity fighting almost consumed most of his physical strength.
Wayne half-knelt on the ground, breathing lightly. After about five minutes, his body recovered a little under the influence of the swallow medicine.
He stood up and walked towards the blood pool altar deep in the cave. When he passed by the body of the special half-murloc, he did not forget to put the strange staff forged from an unknown metal into his storage bag.
In the blood pool, those weird-looking eight-clawed octopuses were still rolling in the blood. The six hostages were sitting in the blood pool, leaning on the wooden stakes, still not conscious.
Wayne stepped forward and checked their pulse and breathing. Although it was weak, they were still alive.
However, when observing their faces, Wayne was somewhat horrified to find that many tiny octopus tentacles had sprouted from the chins of these hostages.
Although it has not grown to twenty or thirty centimeters like that special half-fish man, both the bones and flesh seem to have been permanently changed due to this weird ritual.
This kind of weird thing made Wayne very worried, and he couldn't help but think of horror movie plots such as the evil god coming and looking for his body.
Perhaps like an alien, there are already children of the evil god, gestating in the bodies of these hostages, waiting for the time to break out of their bodies.
He reached out and pulled Fitz, the smallest little earth spirit, out of the blood pool. He rolled his eyelids, his pupils were dilated and he was unconscious.
Then he put the little guy into the cold water in the puddle beside him, letting the cold liquid submerge his body. Unfortunately, there was still no sign of waking up.
Seeing this scene, Wayne was also a little troubled. Although the half-murlocs in the cave may have escaped, but if you want to leave the cave, you must pass through the hundreds of meters long underwater passage.
Wayne himself can still pass there with the help of the Hekena Talisman, but it is simply a fantasy to bring several people who are unconscious and completely unable to move.
And these hostages are not dead yet, so it doesn't seem appropriate to leave them here to fend for themselves.
With no other choice, Wayne could only look for other exits in the cave. Unfortunately, after searching for half an hour in the southeast, northwest, and northwest, he could not find the exit. Instead, he found a lot of pearls and corals as trophies, which made up for the loss of his few alchemical bombs. loss.
The hostages were still unable to wake up, which made Wayne quite confused.
Just when he didn't know how to act and was in a dilemma, along with three small footsteps, a familiar voice suddenly came into his ears: "Wayne, are you okay?" "
I
took my father and mother with me. Coming to find you."
Hearing the sound, Wayne turned around and saw three little earth spirits of different heights wearing simple fur clothes, purple skin, walking in his direction.
The little guy Lala followed the two obviously older little earth spirits a little anxiously, looking around with an uneasy expression.
After seeing Wayne, his eyes immediately lit up, and he wanted to run over excitedly, but was held back by another female little earth spirit.
After seeing Lala, Wayne smiled and nodded towards her, and then looked at the other two older little earth spirits a few times.
Although the little earth spirits looked similar in appearance, the two little earth spirits standing in front of Lala had an elder-like calmness.
The male little earth spirit was obviously quite old. Not only was he already about 1.2 meters tall, he even had a black and white beard growing on his chin.
He was holding a staff in his hand that was polished from the bones of an unknown animal. Seeing Wayne looking over, he nodded politely to Wayne and responded: "Mr. Wayne, thank you
. Thank you for taking care of my daughter Lala, and thank you for taking the risk to save my son Fitz." "
My name is Cruze, and I am the father of Lala and Fitz." "
I heard that the witcher executed You must collect corresponding remuneration for entrustment. After this happens, I will definitely pay you a satisfactory remuneration." After saying this, he looked
back at his anxious wife and daughter, then looked at Wayne again, and paused. After a second, he asked:
"It depends on the situation. You have defeated the half-murloc priest here. I wonder how my child Fitz is doing now?"
Wayne nodded to Cruz and pointed to the blood pool altar behind him. , said truthfully:
"Mr. Cruz, I don't know the specific situation."
"When I arrived here, a total of six hostages, including your son Fitz, were tied to the blood pool altar. "
"They are performing evil rituals."
"Although I have killed the half-murlocs here, I don't understand their knowledge, and I can't awaken your son." "But no matter what, it's best to put these things away now. Take people out of the cave. This is the territory of the half-murlocs. If you stay here for too long, you may be attacked by those half-murlocs." Hearing this, Cruz looked in the direction that
Wayne was pointing, his expression changed. Regaining his anxiety, he nodded to Wayne and without saying anything else, he immediately took his wife and Lala and trotted towards the blood pool.
What surprised Wayne was that this male little earth spirit Cruz was actually a quite powerful spell caster.
Although he was unable to revive his son Fitz and several others, he was able to solve the previous difficulty of Wayne being unable to take them away from the water through magic spells, levitation and underwater breathing.
However, after all, there were still too many people in need of rescue. Wayne protected their safety all the way. It took him more than an hour to escort the Xiao Diling family and the five unconscious hostages to where the Fisher King was. Location.
For this reason, he had to drag his exhausted body into a fight with a group of wild wolves.
On the way, Lala told him that while the little one was waiting outside the cave, her parents noticed something was wrong when they returned home, so they hurried over from home and found her, and the next scene happened.
When they arrived near the boat, the Fisher King was still sitting on the rock, with the bodies of several water ghosts lying beside him.
When he saw such a large group of people coming, he turned back and looked at his small boat before he could say anything.
Angela, Lala's mother, who had been taking care of her son in the team, suddenly walked to the shore, took out a shining green leaf from her clothes, put it in her mouth and blew a melody.
Tens of seconds later, a huge turtle, seven or eight meters long, suddenly crawled out of the bottom of the lake.
After seeing the giant turtle, Lala clapped her hands excitedly and said to Wayne:
"This is my mother's friend, Uncle Mandu. I didn't expect that he also came to Lake Vizima."
After the giant turtle climbed ashore , , spoke a few words with Angela in the language of an unknown race, and then knelt down and let Lala's father, Cruz, transfer all six people, including Fitz, onto his back. .
After doing all this, Cruz looked back at Wayne. After casting spells for such a long time, the little earth spirit mage had a tired look on his face. He nodded to the demon hunter and asked: "Mr. Wayne
, I must bring my child home as soon as possible and use the power of the goddess altar to help him relieve the curse." "
As for the other five people, I have no ability to save them, so I can only temporarily transport them back to the vicinity of the swamp village and return them to the In human hands."
"Is this okay?"
Regarding this method of handling, Wayne nodded helplessly. No one knew how to solve the evil god's ritual. It was kind enough to rescue them from the half-murloc's lair.
As for the future fate of these people, whether they can wake up and survive, it all depends on their own luck.
And when they discussed the countermeasures and prepared to leave Black Tern Island, the Fisher King, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke and said in a hoarse voice: "Mr. Wayne, Lala,
and the cursed Fitz."
"Goddess. Inviting you, I hope I will take you to see her."
Wayne was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that the legendary Lady of the Lake would invite him to meet tonight, and Cruz, who was originally looking sad, heard that the goddess wanted to see him. The daughter and son immediately showed expressions of excitement and joy on their faces, and said,
"Great, if the goddess is willing to grant you a favor, my son Fitz will definitely be safe and sound."
Seeing that Wayne did not agree immediately, Xiaodi Spirit mage Cruz thought that he was worried about something, or that he didn't know who the Lady of the Lake was, so he tried to persuade him: "
Mr. Wayne, the Lady of the Lake is a kind and great god. She has been protecting this place for thousands of years. A lake."
"It is precisely because of the protection of the goddess that this lake has not become the lair of the followers of the evil god Dagan." "
You destroyed the ritual of the evil god Dagan today and defeated his followers. The goddess will definitely be angry because of it. I will reward you for this."
Wayne was not afraid that the Lady of the Lake would have any conspiracy against him. He was just thinking about the goddess's intentions. When he saw that the Fisher King was still looking at him with questioning eyes, he nodded. Boss, I agreed to the invitation.
This is a kind and upright god who will not suffer any loss once he meets him.
Ding! [Saving the Little Earthling Fizz] has been completed.
Reward: 48 experience points and an expert-level treasure chest.
(Thank you, Silver Spear and Iron Sword, Beidangyun, very important, Xiangzuo..., 20180622175609275, waiting for the rewards from a few big guys, okay.)
