103. Half-fish man sacrifice

Sending away Selena, who was curious about life in the big city, Lane retouched the tapered crystal in his back pocket.

"Rita, are you still there?"

"I'm always waiting for you."

The sorceress on the other side, even if she didn't mean to flirt at this time, it had become her instinct to be amorous.

The words that come out can make every man even crisp off his bones.

Fortunately, Lan En's current aesthetic standards are very high, and he will not be confused because of two sentences.

"Tell me about necromancy. I heard this is a forbidden spell? ”

"Necromancy?! Why are you asking this? ”

Margarita exclaimed, as if even mentioning the name of the spell made people feel ominous and taboo.

"The only clue is that I caught an insider, he. I guess he died in an accident. We can't give up on this clue, Triss and Kayla have done everything they can, but the other party is as good at intelligence control as Foltest himself. I said, "The king wouldn't be involved in the slave trade, would he?" ”

"No way." Margarita said categorically.

"The prohibition of slavery was carried out in the countries of the North because it was in the interests of the countries of the North. The interests of the state are the interests of the king. Foltest is not restrained, but he is definitely smart. Why do you have nothing to do with this taboo? ”

"Let's talk about [necromancy]. Lan, even if that clue is broken, I won't support you using this spell! ”

The witcher's brow furrowed slightly.

"Rita, those children are about to be transported south and trained to be bed slaves!"

"That's better than letting the magic of a piece of land be unbalanced, the demons raging, and the earth power draining! Necromancy is to rebel against the flow of souls! Even if it's temporary, it's bound to lead to backlash! ”

When Lan heard this, he immediately grinded his back molars in a tangled manner.

He originally thought that [Necromancy] was only banned because of the high mana requirements for warlocks and the serious consequences of failure.

Then he only needs to find a warlock with strong enough mana to help, and it won't matter.

But I didn't expect that if this spell itself was cast, it would cause harm to the world environment!

If Lan En is a person who will stop at nothing to achieve his goals.

But the reason GΓΌnt Odim threw the body here was because he knew that Lane was not that kind of person.

I want to free the slaves, I want to slaughter the people behind the scenes.

These ideas all came from Lann's own morality.

For this reason, even if he is alone, he dares to fight to the end with the other party's huge power group.

But because of this, it is impossible for him to pursue [Necromancy] regardless of the consequences.

Morality is a limitation on the self, and since this limit comes from the will of life itself, then Lane will not overcome.

Because I encountered difficulties, I felt tired and difficult, so I crossed the bottom line I set for myself?

What kind of man is that?!

"Understood, I won't fight the idea of [Necromancy] again. This time, I'm going to have to meet someone. ”

"Take care, Lanne. I'm sorry I can't help much with this. ”

"Say no more, Rita. Fifteen hundred Oren, two royal advisors, ordinary people can't make so much money in a few lifetimes, and they can't know a high-powered warlock. ”

Margarita was silent for a moment, then hesitated to speak.

"If, I mean if, Lane. If you really don't have a clue, you can go back to Eretu first."

"There are no ifs."

The witcher categorically refused.

"I'm not going to fail. At least this time, I won't fail. ”

Before the sorceress could react, Lan En's hand pulled out the alchemy leather bag.

He placed Arya with the limp corpse not far away, while he himself followed Selena's guidance to the half-fishman altar.

When he hung up Margarita's "phone", the witcher saw a half-fish man waiting for him at the base of the altar near the lake.

It was precisely because of this attitude that Lan En was sure that the portal he passed through was inseparable from the hands and feet of the half-fish man.

But it's not a big deal.

Compared to the chilling glass boy, even an unwise water ghost can be called "friendly and friendly".

The half-fishman was holding a scepter-like artifact that looked like a sacrifice. It has fish scale skin, hunched waist, the height of a human chest, and thin arms and legs.

Wearing a brass and strainer assembled breathing mask on his head, it looks a bit steampunk style.

A few long, catfish-like whiskers leaked out of the sides of the respirator's mask.

This was the first time Lan En had communicated with an intelligent creature with such a different human image.

After going up to the altar, the demon hunter didn't drag the mud and water at all, and went straight to the half-fish man to sacrifice.

"Human language, is that okay?"

"I can, speak yours, language. Very good. ”

The half-fish man priest was not surprised, and naturally began a conversation.

"You dragged me here? You look like a spellcaster. ”

The half-fish-man sacrifice's breathing mask emitted a phlegm-like, "gurgling" laugh.

"Spellcaster, I won't. It is the great lady who calls you. ”

The half-fishman said, holding the scepter diagonally upward, pointing at the main body of the altar.

It was a statue of a beautiful woman with pointed ears and open arms in the midst of the spray.

Lady of the Lake.

"Great Lady" Lan En clasped his hands to his chest and smiled at the corners of his mouth.

"What's the point of finding a lowly witcher?"

"We need a good, witcher to do things. The lake appeared in the water, very! Very! Unclean stuff. Right now. ”

"And how does this lady know that I'm a 'good witcher'?"

"The lady will listen." When he said this, the half-fish man's not-so-solemn posture when facing Lan En suddenly changed.

It holds the scepter in both hands reverently and turns to face the statue.

It's told in a ballad-like tone.

"The bubbles of the rising waters, the silent breath of the trees, the rippling waves of the fish listen to everything and spill out her kindness. You will feel the love, Witcher. ”

Lan was noncommittal about the half-fish man's determination.

But he doesn't question the beliefs of others at the outset, so he follows the half-fish man and bows to the statue as a sign of respect.

The half-fishman nodded in satisfaction.

"I'm happy to help good creatures, whether human or half-fish."

After Lan straightened up again, he first showed his inclination.

The half-fish-people here are living in harmony with humans, and there are even human children playing on the base of the half-fish-man altar.

In this world of increasingly racist discrimination, it is rare for Lan En to like it a little.

And then, it's time to talk about something practical.

"But I think that whether it's above or below the water, mutual help and mutual assistance should be interdependent. To put it mildly, I know a thing or two about slaughtering monsters. But I'm in trouble right now, and I'm sure my lady should know something about my troubles. ”

Lanne's thumb pointed back, and in that direction lay Ubank's corpse.
