Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Gift of the Goddess
The goddess of the lake was still so faint and holy, she opened her red lips and whispered:
"Speak your mind, my warrior."
Wayne was not polite when he heard this, as a traverser, he may be in awe of the existence of gods, devils, evil gods and the like, but it is more out of recognition of their strength.
But more often than not, they are regarded as more powerful beings of higher beings, and they are not really blindly worshipped or feared like believers.
Wayne organized the language and said:
"Your Excellency, I have a companion, his name is Geralt, and he once made a wish to a Dijing trapped in a magic lamp, and he was destined to be connected to a sorceress, whose name was Yennefer."
Anyway, the goddess is not in a hurry now, so Wayne slowly told the goddess of the lake what he knew, the story about Geralt and Yennefer, of course, he has not experienced many things personally, so he can only briefly supplement according to what he has seen.
It has been talked about the expression of the goddess that Wayne has been observing since the dragon hunting incident that has just happened, and seeing that she is just listening quietly, without the slightest impatience, the blue eyes that were originally not shocked, and even showed a look of interest.
"So this poor lady, who has been obsessed with regaining her fertility and becoming a mother for decades."
"She tried a lot of things and put in a lot of effort, but it still didn't work."
"Thou art a good and great deity, and many have praised thy name from ancient times to the present day, so I would like to turn to thee for help, and you may have a way to help this poor lady."
"Of course, Lord Goddess, I have always believed in the principle of equivalent exchange, for your help, I will always keep it in my heart, if you have any small things that are inconvenient to deal with, you can tell me, I am willing to serve you"
If there is a request for someone, Wayne will try to pick up nice words and say them, and by the way, see if there are any quests that can be obtained from this goddess.
Anyway, no matter how the goddess responds, he will not suffer.
After listening to Wayne's appeal, the goddess of the lake bowed her head slightly, closed her beautiful eyes, and then was silent for dozens of seconds, wondering if she was using her ability to spy on the fate of Geralt and Yennefer.
When the goddess of the lake opened her eyes again, the beautiful goddess frowned slightly, looked at Wayne deeply with her clear eyes, and whispered:
"My warrior, your companion and the lady named Yenaifa are destinies full of uncertainties and the future of this world is closely linked."
"What they do can even affect the direction of the world."
"Even I can't interfere with their fate at will."
"However, you can tell them that in the near future, there will be a child of destiny who will appear in their lives, closely linked to the fate of both of them, and this may be the wish they are pursuing."
After saying this, the face of the goddess of the lake seemed to show a trace of fatigue.
Although I don't know what kind of ability the goddess used to probe the fate of Geralt and Yennefa, this ability must have consumed a lot, and even the goddess of the lake would feel tired.
Wayne even guessed if his request had tricked the goddess.
Geralt and Yennefer, as important protagonists in the original book, do have a lot to do with their future, and even indirectly affect whether Ciri will save the world.
In any case, the goddess gave her answer, which was rather vague, but it should be able to soothe Yennefa's restless heart.
Still, Wayne asked softly:
"This Lady Yennefer is waiting not far away, I wonder if you want to meet her?"
I don't know if it's an illusion, but when Wayne said this, he even hallucinated, and the beautiful goddess of the lake crossed her waist and rolled her eyes at him, feeling quite disgusted.
But all this did not happen, the goddess is still that holy and beautiful appearance, after hearing Wayne's question, the goddess only thought about it for two seconds, and then gently stretched out her finger, and a snow-white pearl the size of a pigeon's egg appeared in front of Wayne's eyes, hanging in the air.
"Just give her this pearl, and I'll take care of the rest."
Wayne grabbed the pearl in his hand, only to feel that this pearl was extremely beautiful, not only the surface was smooth and round, but even exuded a slight fluorescence, when holding it, the whole palm and even the heart became warm and peaceful.
After getting a good thing, Wayne didn't continue to ask about it, but shifted the conversation to Ike.
He told the goddess what Ike had done, as well as some rumors about him.
Of course, it didn't say anything that might happen to Ike's wife and children in the future, this is a secret that belongs to the traverser, and it is impossible for others to know.
"Your Excellency the Goddess, this Ike Knight, although he is more reckless, old-fashioned, and a bit extreme."
"But what he did, compared with some of the so-called knights now, is undoubtedly more in line with the five virtues of knights, and he can be regarded as an excellent knight."
"I heard that a long time ago, you were the symbol of the five virtues of knights, this knight of Ike is extremely admired for knightly martial virtues, I wonder if you are willing to save this soul in confusion, so that the brilliance of the five virtues of knights will once again shroud his body."
When the goddess of the lake heard this, she glanced at Wayne with some surprise, although he said it quite implicitly, but the smart goddess instantly understood what Wayne meant.
However, for Wayne's request, Her Excellency the Goddess seemed a little uninterested.
Human beings are so fickle, once upon a time, all knights admired the five virtues of knighthood, honor, wisdom, generosity, bravery, and compassion, these five noble qualities, as the pursuit of life, a lifelong faith, during that time, the whole world was full of justice and peace.
She has put in a lot of effort to maintain such a beautiful and happy world.
But this beauty did not last long, these powerful knights were soon consumed by negative emotions such as power, greed, jealousy, hatred, arrogance, etc., and began to fight each other for their own selfish desires, plunging the world into endless wars and killings.
All her efforts were in vain, which made her very disappointed in the human race, and gradually she no longer showed miracles among humans, and the vast majority of civilians had even forgotten this legend
After abandoning humanity, the Goddess of the Lake shared her love with other intelligent races who were more in need of help, and although they were not as intelligent and powerful as humans, they were purer and kinder.
Now I want her to do what happened hundreds of years ago again, and the goddess says that I am tired and no longer trust.
However, out of respect for Wayne, the goddess nodded slightly, then closed her eyes, and opened them again after a few seconds, apparently it was much easier to find out about Ike's fate than it was to find out Geralt and Yennefer.
She thought about it for a second or two, and then said in that pleasant voice:
"I know your request, my warrior."
"When I'm gone, you'll sink Ike Knight into this lake, and the water will heal his wounds and cleanse his soul."
"He is indeed a good knight, I only hope that after I cure him, he will be able to pass on more kindness and beauty to everyone in the world."
After listening to the answer of the goddess of the lake, Wayne couldn't help but feel a little moved in his heart, he is really a kind and beautiful god, not to mention what to do with other people, but it is really good to himself.
Two requests in a row are responsive, or they don't look like they want anything in return. Although some people have said that the gift of fate has already been secretly marked with a price, but this feeling of taking the benefits first and paying the bill later is really cool.
The generosity and kindness of the goddess made his third request a little embarrassed.
However, men's skins are generally thicker, and Wayne scratched his face a little embarrassed, and tentatively asked the goddess of the lake:
"Your Excellency, I don't know if you can give me a blessing, the kind that can make me be favored by good fortune in a short period of time and become a lucky person."
"Of course, it doesn't take long, just a day, or even a little while."
After hearing Wayne's request, the beautiful goddess of the lake frowned slightly, looking into Wayne's eyes, not knowing why this little guy had such a request.
However, considering that Wayne already has a close relationship with Geralt and Yennefer, as well as his impact on the future of the world, as well as the investment he has already made.
The beautiful goddess of the lake sighed rather humanely, stepped on the clear water, and slowly walked in front of Wayne.
She held Wayne's face with her slender palm as white as jade, and gently kissed him on the forehead, and then the whole figure turned into a streamer and slowly disappeared, only the pleasant voice still lingered in Wayne's ears.
"You have been blessed by me, my warrior, and you will be blessed with good fortune for the rest of the week."
