"Thank you for your kindness, Your Excellency."

In the face of Wayne's thanks, the goddess of the lake showed a holy smile in a very goddessly manner, and said in a pleasant and touching voice:

"No need to be polite, warrior, this is your reward for bravery against the evil gods."

"It is precisely because there are warriors like you in the world that the conspiracy of the evil gods has not been allowed to succeed."

Wayne's tone was sincere, and he was indeed sincerely grateful to the goddess, the holy water healed the dark wounds in his body, not to mention other hidden benefits, just his physical fitness was strengthened by all attributes plus five, which was almost equivalent to the effect that he could only achieve by raising five levels.

And according to the current speed of his upgrade, it will take at least two years or so to complete.

The physical fitness of the witchers, after they have completed the various trials of their apprenticeship, is basically fixed, and there will be no more growth.

What can make them grow again, in addition to the open system like Wayne's, is only the secondary mutation experiment hidden in the Towson ruins, which can help them go further.

It can be said that being able to greatly increase one's strength by drinking the holy water of the goddess in the lake is something that has only been heard of in legends, and it must be a very rare blessing, not as trivial as the goddess.

Perhaps, the biggest enemy that the goddess of the lake wants to deal with at the moment is the evil god Dagang, who is encroaching on her waters, so she values herself who is willing to help her deal with the evil god.

Wayne thought about it for a few seconds and felt that he should be able to use his status as a witcher to get greater benefits from the goddess.

So, he bowed his head slightly to the goddess and said loudly:

"Your Excellency, you may already know that I am a witcher."

"Our main job is to accept the commission to eradicate those monsters that endanger living beings."

"Obviously, that so-called evil god Dagang is such an evil thing that needs to be eradicated."

"If you are willing to entrust me with the eradication of this evil creature, then this evil god Dagan will become my enemy."

"Although I may not be able to deal with it for the time being, I believe that one day in the future, I will be able to eradicate it completely."

The goddess of the lake didn't seem to expect Wayne to say such a thing, she was slightly stunned at first, and then a more sacred and beautiful smile appeared on her beautiful face, she looked into Wayne's eyes with a hazy gaze, lightly opened her red lips, and said:

"I've heard about the rules of conduct of your wolf school witchers, but I didn't expect you to be willing to take the risk of dealing with an evil god."

"This is a very dangerous commission, and it could cost your life at any time, warrior, and I hope you will think about it carefully."

Seeing that the goddess of the lake did not refuse his proposal, but only asked him to think carefully, Wayne immediately knew that there was a drama in this matter.

He immediately responded, in a more resolute tone:

"I've thought about it very clearly, Your Excellency the Goddess, as a witcher, I am not afraid of danger, as long as the remuneration is appropriate, I am willing to make more meaningful commissions."

When the goddess of the lake heard this, her eyes flashed, and her voice seemed to be a little more pleasant, she stretched out her fair and slender palm, stroked Wayne's handsome face, and said:

"I am glad by your noble courage, warrior."

"If you can help me defeat the evil god Dagang, I will not disappoint my warriors, and I will definitely give you a rich reward."

As the words of the goddess of the lake fell, Wayne's ears also heard the expected system prompt.

Bite! Task triggering.

[Defeat the evil god Dagang] master.

Acceptable?

Sure enough, it was a master-level task, and Wayne was overjoyed and immediately chose to take it.

Anyway, there is no time limit for the task he receives, and even if he completes this task ten years later, his reward will not be reduced.

However, Wayne soon noticed another problem, the mission name on the system showed that it was to defeat the evil god Dagan, not destroy the evil god Dagan.

And even defeating the evil god Dagang is a master's task, and it is obvious that this evil god who can be regarded as an enemy by the goddess of the lake is not an inconspicuous mini-boss like in the game.

However, this is not something he has to think about now, and he will not take the liberty of challenging the evil god Dagang until his strength reaches strong enough.

"In that case, Your Excellency Goddess, I will entrust this to me next."

However, no matter when this promise will be fulfilled, the current Wayne is a categorical appearance, quite like the heroic generosity of the ancient brave crusading against demons, and he is not afraid of death.

Let the little guy on the side, Lala's eyes shine, and the little expression of worship looks quite ugly and cute.

The goddess of the lake also seemed to be infected by Wayne's appearance, and with a heart-warming smile on her face, she wrapped her long golden hair around her fair fingers a few times, and then ripped off the blonde hair.

When she handed the blonde to Wayne, the supple strand had turned into a golden ring.

The goddess of the lake smiled and said:

"I'm looking forward to your performance, Warriors."

"This is a token I have given you, and it is also a blessing I have given you."

"Just take it with you, curses and diseases will stay away from your body, and good luck will be with you."

"If you need my help with anything, put this ring in the lake and call me in your heart."

"Then I will show up to meet you."

Having found a treasure from the goddess of the lake, a token that could call the goddess, Wayne was overjoyed, and under the gaze of the goddess, he solemnly put the ring on the little finger of his right hand.

And the goddess didn't seem to have anything more to say to him, so she set her eyes on Lala beside Wayne, stretched out her jade hand, stroked the top of Lala's head, and said:

"Lala, you just stay here for the time being, waiting for your brother to wake up."

"You have a good talent for magic, and in the meantime, I'll teach you some magical knowledge."

Seeing that the goddess's attention was on herself, Lala immediately nodded excitedly and said happily:

"No problem, Goddess, I am willing to follow you and listen to your teachings."

The goddess of the lake also seems to like the little guy Lala, otherwise she would not have given her a colorful conch with all kinds of magical powers, she gently stroked Lala's hair, and said softly:

"I sense that your spirit is very tired, Lala, just fall asleep in this lake, and when you wake up, we will start teaching magic."

It seemed that he was really tired, and when he heard the goddess of the lake say this, the little guy immediately felt tired, and unconsciously yawned, and then blushed a little embarrassedly, nodded meekly, found a place by the warm lake, and lay down to sleep.

Seeing this scene, Wayne also knew that when the time came to say goodbye, he bowed slightly to the beautiful goddess, bowed, and then whispered under the gaze of the lady:

"Your Excellency Goddess, it's late at night, please allow me to retire for the time being."

"I will keep in mind the crusade against the evil god Dagang, and as soon as I have the opportunity, I will take action against this evil force until I complete your commission."

The goddess of the lake nodded gently, then leaned over and kissed the person on the forehead, and said with a smile:

"I await your good news, young warrior."

"But also be safe, we all have a long lifespan, we have enough time to deal with this, don't be too risky and impulsive."

Wayne nodded respectfully, then looked at the beautiful goddess with admiration for a few seconds before turning and leaving the forest.

Until his figure disappeared completely, the fisherman king, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, and said:

"Goddess, I don't quite understand why you gave the water of the Holy Grail so precious to this young witcher."

"His feats are not matched by such glory."

The goddess of the lake was silent for a second or two before she said in her ethereal and moving voice:

"This young witcher is also a child of destiny, his every move affects the future of the world, and unlike the fate that ordinary people have already doomed, his fate is full of uncertainty."

"Although I can't see his fate clearly, I believe that if he feels more kindness and beauty in his life, in the future, he will also give this happiness to other people in the world."
