Chapter 12: The Pain ...... Does it hurt?
Everyone arrived at Momiji Lake before the sun set.
This lake is indeed as Yin Fan said, it is already dead, the water surface is black and green, and there are dead fish corpses.
The stench makes you want to retreat.
Yin Fan said to Li Yu, "I asked the priests of Abictetus, the god of the forest, to come and see it, and they told me that this lake had been cursed by nature, and asked me if I had any enemies.
"I don't know if what they're saying is true or not, and I'm not a believer in Epictetus, so maybe Epictetus did it.
"I've only been here for a short time, and I know what many of the lords of Elk Valley think of me, and I'm just an outsider to them......"
Yin Fan babbled for a while, and then looked at Li Yu expectantly, "How is it, Prophet Merlin, can you unlock this curse?" ”
】
"Well, no problem, just do what I said before."
Li Yu probably took a look at it and knew what was going on in this lake, obviously because of the rapid growth of blue-green algae, which caused a lack of oxygen in the water body.
This has led to the death of a large number of plants and animals, which further exacerbates the loss of ecological functions and exceeds the lake's own ability to restore.
The result is what is now known as the lake, and the pungent smell is the smell of the decomposition of the organic matter in the lake.
Such a stinky lake is not easy to manage even in modern times.
Fortunately, Li Yu had the [Water Purification Gem] in his hand, this was the first time he had used this newly acquired piece of equipment, and he also wanted to see its effect.
Li Yu stretched out a hand to Yin Meier, who looked like he was about to cry with his legs trembling on the side, and said softly, "Come with me." ”
However, Yin Meier's feet seemed to have taken root, and she didn't move until Yin Fan coughed, and she asked tremblingly, "It hurts...... Does it hurt? ”
"It doesn't hurt, you hardly feel anything." Li Yu said.
Yin Meier breathed a sigh of relief at this time, although she grabbed Li Yu's hand, it looked like she was about to go to the execution ground.
Yin Fan was a little dissatisfied, but at this time, Li Yu had already taken Yin Meier to Hongye Lake, so he didn't say anything.
Jude and Duren silently followed behind the two of them, and together they threw a lamb and seven fish of different colors into the lake.
Garrison wasted a lot of effort trying to get the fish together.
Li Yu found a thousand-year-old tree by the lake and carved the sacred pattern of Saturday on it.
Then he said to Yin Meier, "Pray." ”
"How...... How to pray? The girl's teeth were fighting and stammering.
"Follow me to learn how to do movements, then lower your head and say whatever you want." Li Yu said.
"Huh?" Yin Maier froze, she had never seen such a perfunctory prayer when she was so old.
But seeing that Li Yu had already stretched out her left hand, compared to Liulai, she hurriedly did so, and didn't dare to ask more.
"Good." Li Yu said, "Now I'll speak, listen, don't worry, we're already some distance away from your cousin and his people, and he can't hear what we're saying."
"But you don't have to make extra movements or expressions, so as not to arouse his suspicion, remember?"
Yin Meier didn't know what Li Yu wanted to do, but he still hummed softly.
As a result, the next sentence of this prophet of the Shuangxiu Sect directly stunned her.
"Your father is not dead."
"Really?" Yin Meier was excited, remembered Li Yu's warning, and hurriedly lowered his head.
"But I've heard that my father was killed by the Winged Assassin in Raven Square, and the sword went through his throat...... With such a serious injury, it is impossible to survive. ”
"Nothing is impossible for Saturday." Li Yu said.
"When you were nine years old, you picked up a kitten named Cheese, but your mother wouldn't let you take it home, and your father ended up helping you find a florist to keep Cheese there.
"And you go there every few days to see if it's doing well. It's a secret that belongs only to your father and daughter, isn't it? ”
"Is my father really alive?" The girl said excitedly, "Or do you, like the priest of Cornelia, have the ability to read minds?" ”
"Whether what I'm saying is true or not, you'll know if you leave with me. Of course, you can also choose to stay here. ”
"No, please take me and my mother away." "I don't want to stay here anymore, Uncle Yin Fan is a terrible person who kicked us out of the castle and sacrificed me. ”
"Don't be afraid, what I said at the banquet before was false, and I won't sacrifice you."
Perhaps because he had been heartbroken by his uncle, Yin Maier preferred to believe the stranger in front of him.
"But...... If you can't purify the Red Leaf Lake for Uncle Yin Fan, I'm afraid he won't let our mother and daughter leave. ”
"I can purify Momiji Lake, but I can do it myself without your help."
"Ahh Yin Maier couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this, "I knew that the gods that the dragon slayer knight Yin Leia believed in must also be benevolent and righteous. ”
"If you don't have anything to ask, let's get started." Li Yu said, and after he finished speaking, he threw a small cloth bag containing quicklime into the lake.
Then he asked Yin Meier to half-kneel by the lake and put a hand into the lake.
Yin Fan stood aside and watched from a short distance, and after a while, he saw a change in the calm lake water, and bubbles rushed up from below.
Yin Fan's eyes widened, and he muttered, "Heh, is there really a water spirit in the Red Leaf Lake?" ”
Garrison on the side also said, "I have heard the news from the royal capital, this Merlin prophet is indeed very powerful. ”
"Do you think he can do it and purify the Momiji Lake for us?"
"This ...... I can't say," Garrison complimented, "but if he can't do it, I guess no one will." ”
Yin Fan thought of the stench that had been permeating the castle in the summer, and his face couldn't help but change slightly, he really didn't want to understand it again.
And for now, we can only pin our hopes on this prophet of the Shuangxiu Sect.
Li Yu quickly finished the purification ceremony, and then pulled Yin Meier, who looked a little weak, and walked back.
The latter seemed to be very afraid of Yin Fan, and said to Yin Fan, "Uncle, I'm ...... I've really done my best. ”
"What did that water spirit say? Did it agree to lift the curse? Yin Fan said eagerly.
"I ...... I don't know, it doesn't say anything. ”
Yin Fan couldn't help but be a little disappointed when he heard this, and he looked at the Red Leaf Lake, and he didn't feel that anything had changed in the lake in front of him.
But Li Yu said to him, "You can come back in a day, it will take time for the ceremony to take effect." ”
"Okay then." Yin Fan reluctantly agreed.
