By "wedding feast" I meant tomorrow, Tuesday, the wedding of Rezia's sister, Mona Cavendish. As for how the other party knew about this matter, Xia De didn't think about it at all. The "Goddess of the Lake" even knew that he wanted divinity, so he would naturally know about trivial things like weddings.
At this time, the setting sun had dyed half of the sky red, and the water surface of Xinhu Island in the center of the lake reflected the setting sun, making the small fish at the bottom of the lake also turn red. The evening wind blew, and the lake water rippled. Being here, Xia De actually felt an inexplicable calm:
"Excuse me, do you know who I am?"
In fact, he wanted to ask this question from the beginning, but in order to prevent the lake from disappearing after asking the question, he endured it until now.
"No, I don't know who you are."
The white-robed lady shook her head slightly, and her silver-white hair also turned red in the setting sun:
"But when you step on the lake, I understand everything."
Xia De nodded:
"Then you are..."
he asked inquiringly.
"You can call me Lady Cherubim."
The lady in white robe replied with a smile, but Shad wanted to know more than just a simple name.
Since the other party didn't want to say anything, Xia De didn't dare to continue asking. He probably had an idea, the other party is not a god, but it is related to gods, and after passing by this lake yesterday, Priest Augustus said this morning that he has a familiar smell... Xia De felt that he probably needed to read more literature to confirm his thoughts.
"I will complete the task, but when I have completed the task, how will I see you next time?"
While those eyewitness stories are very interesting, he doesn't want to go find a new "lady of the lake" eyewitness and try his luck around riding around
"When you have completed the test, take a smart animal with you, and it will guide you to the lake of cherubim again."
This also sounded like some kind of fairy tale, Xia De nodded slightly, and decided to bring his own cat next time, and Mia was the smartest animal he had ever seen.
"And one more thing."
Xia De also said that of course he has not forgotten the people who helped him in the process of pursuing this mysterious lake:
"Two friends of mine have also come to you. One is an old professor of folklore, he wants to know what happened to him; good luck."
After speaking, he quickly looked towards the sunset. Although it was a little late, but fortunately, the lake had not disappeared yet.
The lady in the white robe with the stick smiled and shook her head:
"It's just a trivial matter to take back the good luck I once gave, but I will slightly increase the difficulty of the next three tests."
Shad hesitated for a moment:
"no problem."
Since Mr. Roland, the poet, trusted him and paid the reward in advance, Xia De must of course keep his promise.
The lady in the white robe took out a collection of poems from the pocket of the robe and handed it to Xia De:
"That's what he paid. As for the limbs, there's no getting back."
"It's okay, just take back his excess luck."
Xia De shook his head indifferently, and put away the manuscript as a proof of completing the commission.
"What exactly did Professor Drake experience with you?"
Since the other party could withdraw the blessing so easily, Xia De felt that this lady would not mind telling the things the professor had forgotten.
But the white-robed lady holding the staff unexpectedly shook her head:
"I'll answer this question next time. It's not because this visit is over, but because it's related to your next test."
"But......"
"You still have time next time, don't you?"
The lady in white robe asked, her golden eyes were facing the setting sun, shining with light. Unlike the dark golden pupils common to witches, her eyes are pure gold.
Looking at those golden eyes, Xia De felt that his heart became more peaceful, and he let out a long breath:
"Okay, so this visit is here... Oh, I almost forgot about it, next time I come, can I bring my friends here?"
"No problem, but you can only bring one extra person at a time. Moreover, if they ask me questions, it will consume the gift I originally gave you after you completed the first three tests."
The surrounding scenery is gradually becoming transparent, and the lake of cherubim and the island in the center of the lake seem to be melting in the strong sunset.
"Yes, I understand. Thanks for your help and see you next time."
Xia De saluted respectfully on the lake again.
"Remember, knowledge is sometimes power, and your wisdom is your greatest wealth."
the lady said softly.
"Can the three gifts after the completion of the first three tasks be replaced by things about the chosen ones of knowledge and wisdom?"
The lake had almost disappeared into the light, and as the bare apple groves gradually emerged, Shad heard her last words with a smile:
"Of course, outlander who follows the epic, may wisdom be with you."
The scenery of the Lake of Cherubim completely disappeared, and Xia De found himself standing next to the maroon horse, and the latter looked around boredly, as if everything around him hadn't changed at all.
"The goddess of the lake is definitely related to the ancient gods. Hmm.
Dear, this chapter is not finished, there is another page ^0^... The style of the incident I encountered in Huntington in the southern country is really completely different from that in the northern country. "
Not only is the scenery here pleasant, but the things encountered are more like fairy tales. Compared with the evil gods of Tobesk, the ugly murlocs of Coldwater Harbor, and the various evil spirits of Fort Midhill, it is Shad who imagined himself to be able to visit the "Goddess of the Lake" with a horse in a comfortable winter afternoon. something that should be experienced.
"The next point is the wedding banquet tomorrow."
Riding the maroon horse, Xia De came back to the city from the west of Huntington to visit the poet Mr. Roland against the setting sun, and threw the scroll of poems to him in the latter's astonishment.
The matter of Professor Drake had not been dealt with, so Shade did not go to the old professor, but rode back to the White River Valley Vineyard. After entering the hidden wall deep in the wine cellar, he first went home and "captured" Little Mia, and then went to Fort Midhill.
Walking out of the abandoned tower in the mountain, I went down the mountain along the mountain road to meet the last ray of the setting sun.
The first destination was the House of the Blind in Luf Lane. After contacting Sister Divelin, she first explained that the "Evil of the Pantanal" could be used as firewood by the Primordial Flame, and then informed the target The story of the blind nun "Goddess of the Lake", and what just happened:
"The evil thing in the Pantanal is related to the Great Swamp. I don't have any more clues at the moment. You can arrange for the religious group to investigate.
But the goddess of the lake is the key point. Since the fairy tale "Water of Wisdom" recorded on the stone slab in the sacrificial ground is related to the rumor of the goddess of the lake, why not go to that mysterious lake with me next time. I think Ms. Cherub can tell us the location of the first fire of division with a high probability. "
Xia De stretched out three fingers:
"The three wishes after the first three tests are completed, of course, must be the most effective. The news of the chosen one, the split first fire you are looking for, demons, angels... ahem, you just be me Didn't say the last two words."
Although the weather has turned cold, Sister Devlin seems to always be dressed in this black and gray nun robe. It's just that after becoming the chosen one of death, her skin seemed to be fairer than before, but it was clear that Iluna hadn't changed at all.
The silver crown eyepatch is still so gorgeous and stunning, Sister Divelin nodded slightly while sitting on the sofa of the Blind House:
"Whether it's for firewood or the location of the split Chuhuo, I should go to Huntingdon in person. Moreover, it seems a little impolite to use the clone to meet the 'Goddess of the Lake'."
"The sacrificial field on the top of the mountains, is there an exit in Kasenlik? You can take the train to Huntington City. Although I can complete the test tomorrow, I can wait for you for a few days."
Xia De suggested, and Sister Devlin put her hands together on her lap, showing a peaceful smile:
"Fire bearers who are bathed in the first fire, we have other ways.
The relic that Grandma Cassandra has been looking for recently seems to have a clue for safe space travel. Shad, let's go to Cassandra's auction house for dinner, mother-in-law will be very happy for our visit. "
Just like what Sister Devlin said, the old witch who runs the chain auction house is very happy for the arrival of Xia De and Sister Devlin. She asked her apprentice, Miss Rita Swift, to reschedule tonight's dinner, and then sent a servant to inform Grace and Helen that Shad had arrived.
Xia De actually came here every week to visit the twin girls, and the space-type relics Granny Cassandra was looking for was also to allow Grace and Helen to visit No. 6, Plaza Saint Teresa. After all, they are subject to their own curses and the characteristics of the relics, so they can only move around Midhill Castle, No. 6 Saint Teresa Square and Shad at present, and the girls have always wanted to visit Shad's house.
Dinner was arranged in the restaurant on the top floor of the Cassandra Auction House. As the headquarters of the famous chain auction house in the entire Old World, there would naturally be no shortage of restaurants with such functions.
The street view of Fort Midhill in early winter, viewed from the window, is somewhat different from Tobesk. The sun is setting, and above the hazy fog layer is a brilliant sea of stars.
The restaurant on the top floor of the auction house ~www.mtlnovel.com~ is lit up by gas lamps in the shape of maple leaves, the old witch who is smiling happily, Sister Divelin who seems to have the same expression forever, and I am very fortunate to bring the cat to Xia where I can eat De, Grace and Helen, who were sitting on Shad's left and right, took their seats respectively. After Miss Swift had arranged for the servants to serve the dishes, Granny Cassandra made an exception and agreed to eat together, which made this person a little uncomfortable. Confident young apprentice very happy.
Naturally, it was impossible to just eat at the table. Although Xia De didn't know why the ladies at the table were all waiting for him to speak, he still talked about how he met Miss Sylvia, the big witch at the thirteenth table last week.
Granny Cassandra spoke highly of this young witch, thinking that her intelligence and talent were top-notch in the council, and encouraged Shad to take advantage of Miss Sylvia's visit to Tobesk to learn from her about space. Knowledge:
"Now that Silvia has met you, she will definitely think that you and her are the same kind of people."
The old witch is very accurate in seeing people:
"I'm not surprised even if she invites you to be her apprentice, so since you have the opportunity, you can learn more from her. Sylvia is willing to share knowledge with people. Although she is sometimes paranoid, most people who are suitable for learning Is such that."
Dear, this chapter is over, I wish you a happy reading! ^0^
