Chapter 168: The Lady of the Lake

In the world of Viren, there are countless stories about the gods, and almost every church has a large number of various stories about the main god of its own church, but most of the stories of the gods of these churches are known only to the members of their own church, and the people of other churches and the general public are not very clear. Even if they do, they will confuse the gods in the story, and they will not be able to figure out which god has done what and which god has done what great deeds.

However, among all the true gods recorded by the Orthodox Church, there is only one deity, which is not only recorded in the canons of other churches, but also widely circulated in various folk tales, and is definitely the most famous deity in the world of Vilon, and this deity is Vivien, the lady of the lake.

This goddess is always associated with warriors, warriors, and heroes, for example, some great warriors will have a tryst with this goddess one night, some warriors will be blessed by this goddess before going to battle, and some heroes will be valued by this goddess when they are still unknown, and some magical powers and weapons will be given by this goddess, etc.

Like the other gods of the world of Veron, this goddess has now disappeared from the world of Velon, and the last legend related to her is in the history of the rise of the knight king of the French Empire. It is said that the founder of the Eastern Empire of France once met the reclusive Lady of the Lake in the Black Forest and received her heroic blessing.

Coincidentally, in the dream world, there are also a lot of legends of the Lady of the Lake, this goddess is also related to the most powerful and brave warriors, and there is also a church of the Lady of the Lake, and even a large number of believers, including warriors, prostitutes, housewives, etc.

There are also a lot of references to the Lady of the Lake in the archives of the True Eye Church, and most of these contents are related to the Warriors of the Fog Zone, as the Lady of the Lake Church is the only church that has established a warrior shelter in the Castle of the Fog Guard.

The reason why the Lady of the Lake Church is able to have this special treatment is that the Lady of the Lake will give blessings to all fighters, whether they are members of their own church or not, and these blessings can help the soldiers reduce fatigue, increase strength, and so on.

The only drawback to this blessing is that after the battle, the warrior becomes very lethargic, and usually sleeps for a day or two before he wakes up. Legend has it that the souls of these warriors were invited to Valhalla by the Lady of the Lake to attend a feast dedicated to the brave warriors.

It's just that what came to Leo's mind when he saw this information was not a blessing, but a riot rune in chaotic witchcraft, no matter how you look at it, it feels like a riot rune with a weakened effect and greatly reduced side effects.

It's just that Leo never thought that not long ago, he had doubts about the blessing of this lady of the lake, and as soon as he turned his head, he came face to face with this legendary goddess in his temporary address.

"It's such an old etiquette, I haven't seen it in a long time. Seeing Leo salute with a ritual that she had learned from the books of the Orthodox Church, the Lady of the Lake showed a little surprise, then smiled and said, "It's just that you have used this ritual in the wrong place, this is the ritual used by the saints of the church to the Lord God of faith, and you are neither a saint, nor am I your Lord God." ”

Leo said casually: "I'm sorry, it's the first time I use this kind of etiquette, I don't know these rules, I'll pay attention to it next time." ”

"Haha! You're such an interesting fighter. The Lady of the Lake looked at Leo with the same eyes as if she were looking at some beloved plaything, and said, "I have seen many brave warriors, and no matter how they want to show their charms, they are always in awe and even fear in their hearts, but I don't feel any emotion in you, and since there is no fear of awe, nor love and joy, you are really special! ”

Once again, Ms. Lake uses two words to describe Leo, which shows that she has a strong interest in Leo.

The other warriors in the dream world would be flattered and even ecstatic to know that the Lady of the Lake was so interested in him, but all Leo could think of was trouble.

Yes, this goddess who is beautiful enough to charm any warrior is a big problem in Leo's eyes.

After experiencing the initial shock, Leo, who calmed down, also compared the strength gap between himself and the legendary goddess under the analysis of the subbrain system.

If the goddess in front of him was really the lady of the ancient god lake recorded by the Velen World Orthodox Court, Leo would not have any sense of resistance to her at all, because he was like an ant in front of an omega-level high-level creature, even if he was now close to a fourth-level psionic being, at best he was just a slightly stronger and suspicious ant.

But now, although this lady in the lake still makes him feel extremely powerful, this kind of strength is not the kind of power that makes people desperate, maybe because the lady in front of him is just a clone of the divine power of the real lady in the lake, or maybe because of some other unknown reasons, all in all, according to the analysis of the auxiliary brain system, she is only the strength of an eighth-level psionic person, that is to say, it is similar to the true eye on the outskirts of Miria.

Although there is still no room for resistance for Leo with such a force, after analyzing all his methods by the auxiliary brain system, he gave an analysis result with a fighting force, and with this fighting power, as long as he can successfully stab the sacrificial knife into the opponent's body, he can launch the sacrifice. When the time comes, it will not be him and the goddess, but the outer god of the Lord of Turbidity and Lightness, and the ancient god of the Lady of the Lake.

It is precisely because of the confidence in his heart that Leo did not show too much awe of this legendary goddess, and his tone and words were very casual, just like talking to an ordinary person, but he didn't know that it was precisely because of his casual attitude that he attracted the attention of the lady in the lake even more.

Leo didn't beat around the bush and asked directly, "Madam, why would you approach a mortal like me in this way?"

"You're a brave, mighty warrior, and I'm the Lady of the Lake, isn't that enough?" The Lady of the Lake walked up to Leo, and as she spoke, she looked at Leo condescendingly, then leaned down, leaned her head on the side of Leo's head, stretched out her tongue and licked Leo's ears and neck, and said, "And your smell is good, I like this smell." ”

At this moment, the smell of the lady in the lake, the softness of her tongue, and the dampness of her breath penetrated Leo's body and soul like some kind of primordial hormone, making him irresistibly give birth to the most primitive desires.

And when Leo sensed that something was wrong, he immediately activated the mechanical will, and the whole spirit entered a state of absolute sanity, and all the desires in body and mind disappeared in an instant, leaving only an abyssal coldness.

"I hope you don't do this again, ma'am, because ......" Leo turned his head and met the eyes of the lady of the lake calmly, looking at this beautiful goddess with the same gaze as if he were looking at a stone, and said indifferently, "...... I don't like it!"

Lady Lake, who had always maintained a confident expression from the beginning, saw the cold look in Leo's eyes like an abyss, and her expression instantly froze, and she couldn't help but have a fear in her heart that she had never felt before, and even made her shiver like a mortal.

The lady in the lake straightened up, took a deep breath to stabilize her emotions, and instinctively took a few steps back as far as possible away from Leo, and after her emotions eased a little, she looked at Leo thoughtfully, her face was full of doubts and surprises, and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?"

"Leo Dodd, a traveler. Leo said in a flat tone.

"We should have a good talk!" said the Lady of the Lake, sensing that she had become passive, hardened her tone a little.

"Today is not a good time to talk, and I think Madam you should leave. As Leo said this, the fists of his hands turned into the shape of a sacrificial knife, and at the same time, a spiritual energy was injected into the sacrificial knife by him, causing a faint layer of blood on the surface of the sacrificial knife.

The blood glow of the sacrificial knife made the fear in the Lake Lady's heart even stronger, and she felt that if she was hurt by the knife, it would be fatal, and this feeling of near-death was something she had never experienced before.

This fear caused the Lady of the Lake to take two steps back, and Leo's momentum suddenly changed, turning into another state that could not be explained, giving the Lady of the Lake the feeling of some indescribable being staring at her through Leo's eyes.

This inexplicable momentum also caused the lady in the lake to retreat again and again, until she leaned against the kitchen window, and the moonlight reflected on the surface of the Silver Moon Lake behind her shone on her body, merging with the light on her body, which made her relieve her nervousness a little, and she also regained her composure.

"I think I've remembered you, Leo Dodd the Traveler. The Lady of the Lake no longer spoke to Leo in a condescending tone towards the inferior beings, she now regarded Leo as an equal being.

And Leo's momentum at this moment is like a tide receding, and the sacrificial knife has changed back into a fist glove, but his expression is still cold, and he responded without emotion: "It's my honor to be remembered by you, ma'am." ”

"I hope you'll be so confident when you see it. The lady of the lake, who had returned to normal, seemed to have forgotten what had just happened, chuckled, and said with deep meaning.

"It?" Leo looked at the Lady of the Lake in confusion.

"The first deity you'll ever see is it, not me. The Lady of the Lake stepped back, her body reduced to nothingness, passed through the wall, stepped barefoot on the surface of the lake outside, surrounded by a cloud of silver light, and as her body gradually dissipated, she said to Leo, "We will meet again, Leo Dodd the Traveler." ”

As these words were spoken, the body of the lady in the lake completely disappeared into the silver light, and the light on the surface of the lake returned to its original state.

At this moment, Leo sat limply on the ground like a puppet without support, a heavy breath came from his nose, and beads of sweat the size of beans came out of his pores like water that had opened a valve, and soon his clothes were soaked.

At this moment, Leo felt that he was no less than fighting a battle that lasted for dozens of hours, physically and mentally exhausted, and just wanted to lie on the ground properly and not get up.

Just now, he used the sacrificial knife to kill the remnants of the god-killing aura after killing the True Eye, and at the same time used his spirit to disguise himself as the Lord of Turbidity and Light Spirit that he had seen, coupled with his mechanical will, which completely invalidated any of the other party's spiritual exploration abilities, and finally frightened the Lady of the Lake through these bluffing methods.

And the lady of the lake herself is more curious about Leo, not hostile, and has no idea of becoming a mortal enemy, so she will choose to back down, otherwise if the two fight, Leo's chances of winning are very small, even if he uses all means to attack desperately, whether he can touch the body of the lady in the lake is a problem, let alone kill the other party.

Although Leo was a little puzzled as to why the Lady of the Lake noticed him and even came into contact with him directly, he didn't take it too seriously.

Thinking about the legends, it is not difficult to find that the Lady of the Lake has a soft spot for those powerful warriors, and will often come into contact with them in the form of mortals, and even in the legends of the world of Velon, there is no shortage of stories such as the Lady of the Lake giving birth to a powerful warrior.

In the information about the Church of the True Eye, it is also mentioned in a few words that of all the churches in the dream world, the Lady of the Lake is the church deity who has the most contact with mortals. While it may be surprising to come into direct contact with a legendary deity, if this deity is the Lady of the Lake, the surprise won't last long.

Judging from various legends, although the Lady of the Lake has a somewhat perverse personality, she will help if she likes it, and frame her if she doesn't like it, but overall, she is still a positive deity, so he doesn't have to worry too much about the Lady of the Lake being bad for him until Leo completely annoys the other party and makes the other person lose interest.

Leo cares more about the one mentioned by the Lady of the Lake than the Lady of the Lake.

Although the Lady of the Lake was referring to the beast to the mysterious being who had paid attention to Leo, Leo could tell that the pronoun was a frustrated one. It's as if the relationship between the lady in the lake and the one in her mouth is very bad, but she can't help the other party, so she can only ask for something verbally.

Therefore, instead of seeing it as a beast or a monster, Leo had to see it as an existence equal to the lady of the lake, and at this time, Leo couldn't help but have a figure in his mind.

On that day, after entering the town of Seventh Lake, he encountered the killing of two town guards, and saw a dark shadow in the lake take away the body thrown into the water. At that time, the black shadow in the water also had some effect on his spirit, giving him the urge to jump into the water, but he used his mechanical will to get rid of this effect, so he could not let the black shadow succeed.

When the shadow disappeared, he was still unwilling to catch Leo, and let out an angry roar, which Leo still remembers to this day.

When the Lady of the Lake mentioned that there was an equivalent being who had preceded her in paying attention to him, the first thing that came to his mind was the dark shadow, the deity known as the corpse collector.
