Chapter 74 Holy Grail
Seeing that Wayne agreed, the Fisher King didn't waste any time. He glanced at the little land spirit couple Cruz and Angela, then took a hatchet and walked in a direction towards the center of Black Tern Island.
Cruz apologetically pulled his son Fitz to Wayne with magic, bowed and said, "
Excuse me, Mr. Wayne, please take my child to see the goddess."
"Goddess. You will definitely be able to lift his curse."
Wayne turned around and glanced at Lala, who looked very excited and nervous because she could meet the goddess in person.
Her small body really couldn't carry her brother, so she nodded and carried Fitz, who had already changed into fur clothes, onto her shoulders. With Lala, she followed the pace of the Fisher King.
It was already around two or three in the morning. Walking on Black Tern Island, in addition to the chirping of insects in the grass, you could occasionally hear the calls of some wild beasts in the distance.
The Fisher King didn't say a word, just walked quickly in one direction with a hatchet. Wayne also guessed the old man's dull character and didn't talk to him. He just saw Lala, a little guy, walking on her short legs. She looked like she was struggling, so he simply hugged her in his arms to prevent her from falling behind.
The little guy's eyes were bright. After thanking Wayne, he looked nervously at the Fisher King who was walking in the front, as if he was afraid that the old man would suddenly disappear and she would lose the chance to meet the goddess.
Obviously, being able to meet the Lady of the Lake was a very meaningful thing to her.
In this way, a group of four people walked in the dark night for about half an hour. The Fisher King led them through a wilderness, then entered the forest, and came to the depths of the forest, next to a beautiful and clear small lake. Then he stopped.
This is a small lake with extremely beautiful scenery. The lake is crystal clear and surrounded by various vegetation and rocks. There are fish swimming from time to time, and some gentle animals such as deer and rabbits drink water by the lake.
The cold moonlight shines down and is reflected by the lake water into a hazy fluorescence. The lake water reflects the reflection of the surrounding scenery, which is like a fairyland on earth.
The Fisher King stood on the shore and said nothing. He just knelt down on one knee silently, lowered his head towards the lake, and prayed silently.
After more than ten seconds, the clear mirror-like lake water suddenly started to ripple. A beautiful girl with extremely beautiful appearance, naked and only covered with a layer of gauze like moonlight, slowly rose from the lake water and gradually floated into the air. middle.
She has sky-blue eyes, long golden hair like wheat waves, and a gentle and holy smile on her face. She seems like a fairy descended from mythology, exuding an otherworldly and beautiful temperament.
After seeing Wayne and his group, the goddess's bare feet slowly landed on the lake, moved her steps, and walked slowly towards them.
Looking at the beautiful and holy Lady of the Lake in front of him, looking at her flawless girl's body, Wayne didn't even have any desire in his heart. He only felt a clear spring pouring into his heart, giving him a feeling of extreme excitement from soul to body. Comfortable feeling.
The Lady of the Lake slowly walked up to Wayne, stretched out her hand, which was as white as jade, and placed it on the little earth spirit Fitz on his shoulder. In a moving voice like the breeze and drizzle, she softly read out A mantra.
A few seconds later, an invisible force lifted Fitz, causing the little guy cursed by the evil god to fly off his shoulders and slowly land into the clear lake water.
After entering the lake, Fitz, who was originally in a coma, seemed to be receiving some kind of purifying power. His whole body began to tremble slightly, and some black juice began to overflow from various parts of his body, as if something malicious was coming from his body. It was expelled from the body and then dissipated in the lake water.
"This is the pollution ritual of the evil god Dagan. It uses the power of its offspring to instill evil seeds into the bodies of other creatures, transforming their bodies and polluting their souls. In the end, these creatures will become his slaves and help He invaded more places.”
The voice of the goddess of the lake was like the melodious song in the forest in the early morning. Wayne raised his head when he heard the words, looked into the goddess' eyes that were as clear as lake water, ethereal and sacred, considered for a few seconds, and then asked:
"Your Excellency, I wonder why you invited me here?"
A gentle smile appeared on the beautiful face of the goddess. She looked into Wayne's eyes and said softly:
"Warrior, you helped my believers defeat the evil god. The priest of Dagan destroyed its ritual and cut off its claws. This is a noble deed worthy of reward." "
However, without your knowledge, you have been watched by the evil god. The mark of evil has been left on your body." "
Once you get close to the seaside and the area controlled by it, you will suffer endless revenge from the evil god." After saying this, the goddess of the lake stretched out her slender body as white as jade. The palm of the hand, a golden chalice inlaid with twelve huge gems, slowly rose from the lake, and was then held by the goddess in her chest.
A refreshing fragrance slowly spreads out from the liquid in the Holy Grail.
She handed the Holy Grail to Wayne and whispered:
"Your good deeds should not be retaliated by the evil god."
"Warrior, please drink the holy water in the cup. It will remove the mark of the evil god from your body and repair your body." The many injuries you have suffered have made your body stronger."
"This is the reward I give you."
Looking at the holy water in the legendary Holy Grail, Wayne felt that his body was sending out an extremely longing signal, as if the water in the cup was Liquids are extremely beneficial to his body.
However, Wayne had a little hesitation in his heart.
Although the Lady of the Lake is a kind and noble deity in legend, would it be too imprudent to just accept gifts from the gods so casually?
But soon, Wayne gave up this idea. Now he is just a newly minted demon hunter. Although he has a little strength, he is definitely not tyrannical. Compared with those powerful wizards who can call the wind and rain, and move mountains and seas. Compared to that, he can only be called a more advanced thug.
There is no need for a goddess who has lived for thousands of years to plot against him. Perhaps this goddess is also a smart person who knows how to invest. She saw his potential and invested in him in advance.
Thinking of this, Wayne took the Holy Grail with both hands respectfully, smelled the fragrant holy water in the Holy Grail, and slowly raised the Holy Grail and drank it down as if drinking a peerless wine.
When the liquid in the Holy Grail flowed into his body, Wayne only felt a warm current like the rising sun, entering his body along his throat, and then slowly spreading to all parts of his body.
He couldn't help but close his eyes, and an unprecedented feeling of relief suddenly arose, as if all his limbs had been given a chance to grow again, and all the cells in his body made a sound of satisfaction.
Maybe it was a few minutes, maybe it was dozens of minutes. When Wayne opened his eyes again, he instantly felt that his five senses had been strengthened. Whether it was hearing, smell, touch, or vision, the whole world seemed to have become more... Clear.
He couldn't help but look at the system interface in his mind, and then couldn't help but take a breath. Unexpectedly, just by drinking a glass of holy water, he actually got a huge improvement of all attributes plus five.
And just as the goddess said, Wayne could clearly detect that his body, which had suffered various hidden damages during the Green Grass Trial, seemed to have been repaired to some extent under the influence of the holy water. Genes become more perfect.
In terms of physical fitness, he was originally inferior to experienced demon hunters such as Geralt, Lambert and Eskel. He only relied on the system's bonus to be able to barely fight with them.
Now, Wayne can be sure that even without relying on the system's bonus, his physical fitness is almost the same as those of the old demon hunters of the Wolf School.
Wayne respectfully handed the Holy Grail back to the Lady of the Lake, feeling involuntarily grateful to this generous and kind god.
To be honest, this commission to destroy the fishman's nest can only be regarded as a common thing for him. Even the task level is only expert level, which is not too difficult at all.
But I didn't expect that I would receive such a generous gift. It felt like I had won a big prize.
Admiring the perfect and holy body of the Lady of the Lake, Wayne felt that he must not forget this kindness in the future and must find an opportunity to repay the goddess for her help to him.
