From Witcher to Lord of the Empire.

Chapter 113 Fairy in the Lake: You must take this sword away today
The Lake Fairy of the Witcher world is the most special of all the nymphs.

In the poems and classics of this world, images of various fairies and goblins often appear.They haunt mountains, fields, springs, seas and other places carefree. They are considered to have all the beautiful qualities of girls, and some people even think that they are a kind of "god".

Warlocks treated these fairies and elves more pragmatically. They called them "Nymphs" and classified them into the biological category of "remnants".Many unclassifiable creatures that are longer than human history but still exist today are in this category, such as the ancient deer head spirit, such as the three sisters in the forest.

"Remnants" are often worshiped by some villagers or tribes as gods, and they do have some special abilities.The most notable feature of Nymphs is their beauty, and their invulnerability to aging and illness. It is a pity that they can also be killed, which makes people feel like a broken fairy tale.

In the future, Ciri will travel to other worlds. In one of these worlds, she was once mistaken for a fairy of the lake, and she was begged by a knight to give her a magic sword.The knight was also expecting Ciri to take him to the magic elflands and get some rewards for his bed of moss.

It seems that all long-lived creatures will take the path of "God", whether it is intentional or not, if this creature can also master magic, then everything will be more logical.

But now looking at the fairy in the lake, Lann only remembered what Master Mirror once said to him:

"There was a Hu Ningfu who liked to play knight games and was peeking at you, as if I scared you away."

"You're too easy to attract attention, Lane."

He looked at the water of Brokiron flowing down and dripping like a gurgling stream on the skin of the fairies in the lake.

So she took a peek at the mirror master and was seriously injured after the incident, so now she ran to the tree spirit to soak in the spring water to heal her injuries?

Lane remembers that in the original book, the fairy of the lake was keen to collect knights, and those knights often did things for the fairy of the lake for honor beyond their own capabilities.

It's a pity that one of the iron rules of the witcher world is not to do things beyond one's ability, so the fairy in the lake has no knights in the end.

Until the arrival of the witcher Geralt, he completed the commission for the fairy of the lake, and the fairy of the lake also gave the sword of the lake lady to Geralt after a well-know reward.And Geralt lost the legendary silver sword not long after. He thought that the fairy in the lake was a little fairy from a small mud pit, so he didn't take it to heart at all.

Of course, Geralt hasn't met the Fairy of the Lake yet.

Seeing the fairy from the lake, the dryad doctor Agnes stood up and saluted her; Mossak was not so particular, he closed his eyes slightly, and nodded to the fairy to express his respect; Esna didn't move at all. Body, just smile and say hello.

Although Lan En was thinking about the setting in his heart, he showed a smile specially for etiquette occasions when meeting for the first time, and bent slightly to show respect: "You must be the famous Lady of the Lake. I heard about it in Toussaint. According to legend, there is also one of your companions there, and it is rumored that she has been waiting for the appearance of the Knight of Five Virtues."

"that's me."

The voice is like a clear spring flowing from the mountains, and it is like a quiet lake that refreshes the heart. Most people can forget their troubles just by hearing this voice, and they wish they could spend their whole lives lingering in the forest with the owner of the voice.

Lan En was surprised when he heard it: "I'm really sorry, as a knight, I have admired you for a long time, I don't know why you appear here?"

The fairy in the lake paused, and said in a voice like a stream in the morning: "I am here because of you, son of the ancient blood."

As soon as these words came out, Lan suddenly felt Mossak's eyes sharpen behind the fairy in the lake, and he gestured to himself with his eyes, as if warning something.

"Fate has led you here, and I will clear away the fog of fate for you.

I am the goddess, and you are the sword of destiny.

You were chased by death, and you rejected death.

Accept my gift, it will help you fulfill your destiny.

I foresee death and blood, I see the chaos of frost.

Kneel down to me, and I will canonize you as a knight and give you tokens.

It was once the sword of a great warrior, and now it's just waiting for you. "

As the fairy in the lake spoke like a poem, a slender silver sword rose from the bottom of the lake and slowly stopped between the fairy in the lake and Lan En. shine.

This scene seems to be in a poem, but the harp accompanies the goblin to accompany the dance, and an epic atmosphere floods my heart for a while.

Only two people are dissatisfied.

Mossak's brows were all frowned: "Miss of the lake, you don't know that Lan is not only a knight, but also an earl, he doesn't need to kneel to you to be entrusted, and he doesn't have any so-called destiny. "

Hearing Mossack's words, the sunny expression on the lake fairy's face remained unchanged, but Lan could feel her aura pause.

Lan looked at Mossack, and nodded to the fairy in the lake under the signal of the other party: "Uncle Mossack is right."

This may be the first time in thousands of years that the fairy in the lake has not sent out the sword, and she may also lack experience in dealing with related emergencies.After maintaining that fairytale-like expression for a while, she slowly responded.

"Then." The fairy in the lake said again: "Since you are a knight, I also have heard that your reputation is widely spread.

You have the valor to stand alone,
You have a great honor,
You have the mercy to weed out the strong and help the weak,

You have the generosity of gold,
You have the wisdom to save the day,
You have proved that you have all five virtues of chivalry in your heart, and that you are unquestionably qualified to take up that sword. "

The runes on the silver sword gleamed, gradually drifting towards Lann.

Lan looked at Mossack this time, and his eyes indicated the way of the fairy in the lake. Do you know something after taking a bath with her for so long?
The old druid nodded slightly to him, indicating that he could take the sword this time.

Lan En looked back and asked the fairy in the lake: "Don't you want me to prove other things? Like fighting?"

The fairy in the lake shook her head and said no more.

Lan En stretched out his hand to hold the sword, only to feel that it was cold at the beginning of the first day, but then a warm current was transmitted from the sword to his body.

【Discover the source of magic power】

Ah, this... this is not fun, stop it quickly.

Lan En ignored the system prompt and looked at the prompt in the inventory: [Sword of the Lake Lady].

It is indeed right, system authentication.

Out of politeness, Lan still paid tribute to the custodian of the sword: "Thank you for your trust, ma'am, I will definitely not let this sword get dusty."

At this time, Mossak had been treated by the dryad doctor Agnes and dressed.He is still very weak, but there is no problem with basic actions.

"It's a pity that I haven't fully recovered yet, otherwise I can go back to find you by opening the portal myself."

Lan En said with a dry smile: "Haha... Riding a horse is also very good. The black wind has changed a lot recently, and I miss you very much. It's just a good time for you to get close to it."

Mossak was surprised by Lan's reaction, and suddenly saw the pair of lion eyes again, he couldn't help laughing, and then sighed again.

"By the way, Ms. Essina." Lann said suddenly, "Since you have finished looking for me, I also have a doubt that I would like to ask you to clarify."

"Appreciate further details."

Lan En raised his head, looked straight into Eisna's eyes with lion pupils, and smiled: "Why is Saoirsa the one who came to bring me a message this time? I'm not saying she's bad, but I don't know her well. You Aren't you afraid that there might be a misunderstanding? The most important thing is - where is Ellie?"

Eisna smiled and said, "Airlie is my younger sister anyway. Last time she volunteered, but this time she will be a messenger."

Lane was not satisfied with Eisina's explanation.He continued to laugh and said, "I thought the Daughter of the Forest wouldn't care about her identity. I miss her a lot. After all, I only know a few Daughters of the Forest. I met Dunka and Brian today. I don't have Ellie alone, that's why I asked this question."

Mossack looked at Lan strangely, wondering why he suddenly cared so much about the Dryad Queen's sister.

And Esna raised her chin slightly: "Airlie has a more important mission, she is going to find other companions to come to Brokiron."

"Other companions? Are there other places in the world where there are Daughters of the Forest?"

Esna nodded: "We used to be all over every corner of the continent, and Brokilon was just one of our previous shelters. Ellie has recently gained a powerful force, not even inferior to me, and we want to shelter more There are many companions, so let her go outside to look for it."

Lan En said with a smile: "She will gather the same clan, do you want to train her to be the next queen?"

Esna looked into Lan's eyes, and suddenly said: "I have no children, she is indeed the most likely person to become queen besides me."

Lane and Esna looked at each other for a few seconds.Eisner knew that Lane knew what she meant, and Lane knew that Eisner knew that he knew what she meant.

Lan En blessed: "Then, I hope she returns safely as soon as possible."

Esna accepted Lan's blessing with a smile in her eyes.

"Oh right." Lan turned back again, "Can I have another glass of Brokiron's water?"

Esna smiled and said, "Be careful on the road, Corianm."

Watching the backs of Mossak and Lann leaving, Esna and the Fairy of the Lake stayed where they were for a long time, and they were silent to each other.

With no more wounded, Dryad Doctor Agnes greeted the two of them, the Dryad and the Fairy, and stepped back slowly.

After a while, the Dryad Queen was the first to speak: "Since you must give him the sword, why do you say those unnecessary words?"

The fairy in the lake fearfully thought of a covetous figure, and replied flatly: "This is the arrangement of fate..."

"You nymphs are really stupid for playing games, you who like knight games are the most stupid." Esna chuckled lightly.

The dryad turned his head slightly and asked Esna: "What about you? Let Brokiron Forest accept so many humans, and plan to call more people of the same race in your own name to help him? Why?"

Eisna also replied lightly: "Because of fate."

The fairy in the lake glanced at the dryad queen with eyes like a clear spring in the mountain, then turned around and merged into the real clear spring in the mountain.

Seeing this, the Dryad Queen ignored her and walked slowly back to her own oak tree.

The huge tree trunk deftly stretched out its twigs and paved the Queen's feet, sending her back to her chamber.

There was already someone inside, Ellie, her sister.

The dryads of Brokilon did send people to contact their companions all over the mainland, but that person was not Ellie.

In front of Ellie, the wooden house is sunken downwards at a smooth angle to form a pool, which is filled with the water of Brokiron. Three blond-haired dryads sleep soundly in it, and the magical spring water follows Their breaths floated in mid-air, rising and falling.

The magic water did not soak their bodies, but lifted them like a substance, like a bed made of water.
