The "wedding banquet" refers to the wedding of Lesia's sister Mona Cavendish tomorrow, Tuesday. As for how the other party knew about this matter, Shade didn't think about it at all. "The Lady of the Lake" didn't even think about it.
If even the gods know it, then they can naturally know about such trivial things as weddings.
At this time, the setting sun has dyed half of the sky red, and the water surface of the lake in the center of the lake reflects the setting sun, making the small fish at the bottom of the lake turn red. The evening wind blows, and the lake water ripples. Being here, Xia De actually feels
There was an inexplicable calmness:
"Excuse me, do you know who I am?"
He actually wanted to ask this question from the beginning, but in order to prevent the lake from disappearing after asking the question, he held back until now.
"No, I don't know who you are."
The lady in white robe shook her head slightly, her silver hair turning red under the setting sun:
"But when you step onto the lake, I understand everything."
Shade nodded:
"Then you are..."
he asked probingly.
"You may call me Lady Cherubim."
The lady in white robe smiled and answered, but Shade wanted to know more than a simple name.
Since the other party didn't want to say anything, Shade didn't dare to continue asking. He probably had an idea. The other party was not a god, but it was related to gods. Moreover, after passing by the lake yesterday, Priest August said again this morning.
, he had a familiar smell...Xia De felt that he probably needed to read more documents to confirm his thoughts.
"I will complete the task, but when I complete the task, how will I come to see you next time?"
Although the eyewitness stories were interesting, he didn't want to find a new Lady of the Lake witness and ride around trying his luck.
"When you have completed the test, take a wise animal with you, and it will guide you and lead you to the Lake of the Cherubim again."
This also sounded like some kind of fairy tale. Shade nodded slightly and decided to bring his cat with him next time. Little Mia was the smartest animal he had ever seen.
"And one more thing."
Shade added that of course he had not forgotten the people who had helped him in his pursuit of this mysterious lake:
"Two of my friends have also arrived in front of you. One is an old professor of folklore, and he wants to know what happened to him back then; the other is the poet Mr. Roland, and he wants you to take back the share that he cannot afford.
Good luck."
After saying that, he quickly looked towards the sunset. Although it was already a little late, fortunately the lake had not disappeared yet.
The lady in white robe holding the staff smiled and shook her head:
"It's just a small thing to take back the good luck I once gave you, but I will slightly increase the difficulty of the next three tests."
Shade hesitated for a moment:
"no problem."
Since the poet Mr. Roland trusted him and paid his reward in advance, Shade must of course abide by his promise.
The lady in the white robe took out a collection of poems from the pocket of her robe and handed it to Shade:
"This is the reward he paid. As for the limbs, there is no redemption."
"It doesn't matter, just take back his extra luck."
Xia De shook his head indifferently and put away the poem manuscript as proof of completing the commission.
"What exactly did Professor Drake go through with you?"
Since the other party could withdraw the blessing so easily, Shade felt that this lady would not mind telling the things that the professor had forgotten.
But the lady in white robe holding the staff shook her head unexpectedly:
"I'll answer this question next time. Not because this visit is over, but because it is related to your next test."
"But......"
"You still have time next time, don't you?"
The lady in white robe asked, her golden eyes facing the sunset, shining with light. Different from the common dark golden eyes of witches, her eyes were pure gold.
Looking at those golden eyes, Shade felt that his heart became calmer, and he let out a long breath:
"Okay, so that's it for this visit... Oh, I almost forgot about this. Next time I come, can I bring my friends here?"
Shade asked again, and the white-robed lady responded in agreement this time:
"No problem, but you can only bring one extra person at a time. Moreover, if they ask me questions, they will consume the gifts I originally gave you after you completed the first three tests."
The surrounding scenery is gradually becoming transparent, and the Lake of Cherubim and the island in the middle of the lake seem to be melting into the strong sunset.
"Yes, I understand. Thank you for your help. See you next time."
Shade bowed respectfully on the lake again.
"Please remember that knowledge is sometimes power, and your wisdom is your greatest wealth."
The lady said softly.
"Can the three gifts after completing the first three tasks be replaced by things about the chosen ones who have knowledge and wisdom?"
The lake had almost disappeared in the light, and as the surrounding bare apple trees gradually emerged, Shade heard her last words with a smile:
"Of course, strangers who follow the epic, may wisdom be with you."
The scenery of the Cherubim Lake completely disappeared, and Shade found himself standing next to the maroon horse, who was looking around boredly, as if nothing around him had changed at all.
"The Lady of the Lake is definitely related to the ancient god [Secret Keeper]. Well... the style of the events I encountered in Huntington City in the South is really completely different from that in the North."
Not only the scenery here is pleasant, but the things you encounter here are more like fairy tales. Compared with the evil god of Tobesk, the ugly murlocs of Coldwater Port, and the various evil spirits of Midhill Fort, you can lead the world in a comfortable winter afternoon.
Riding a horse to visit the "Lady of the Lake" is what Shade imagined he should experience.
"The next focus is tomorrow's wedding banquet."
Riding the maroon horse, Shade faced the setting sun and returned to the city from the west of Huntington to visit the poet Mr. Roland. In the latter's astonished look, he threw the volume of poems to him.
Because Professor Drake's matter has not been settled yet, Shade did not go to the old professor, but returned to the White River Valley Vineyard on horseback. After entering the hidden wall deep in the wine cellar, he first returned home to "grasp
"Leave" little Mia, and then went to Fort Midhill.
Walking out of the ruined tower in the mountain, we walked down the mountain road facing the last ray of sunset.
The first destination was the Home for the Blind in Ruf Lane. After contacting Sister Devlin, she first explained that the "evil things in the Pantanal" could be used as firewood by the Primordial Fire, and then informed the target.
The story of the blind nun "The Lady of the Lake" and what just happened:
"The evil things in the Pantanal are related to the Great Swamp. I don't have any more clues at the moment. You can arrange for the cult to investigate this.
But the Lady of the Lake is the key point. Since the fairy tale "Water of Wisdom" written on the stone slab in the [Spiritual Cult] sacrificial site is related to the legend of the Lady of the Lake, why don't you go with me next time?
That mysterious lake. I think Ms. Cherubim can most likely tell us the location of the split First Fire."
Shade held out three fingers:
"The three wishes after the completion of the first three tests must of course be of maximum effect. The news of the chosen ones, the first fire of division, demons, angels you are looking for... Ahem, just treat me as
The last two words were not spoken."
Although the weather has turned cold, Sister Devlin seems to always be dressed in this black and gray nun's robe. However, after becoming the chosen one for death, her skin seems to be fairer than before, but obviously
Luna didn't change at all at that time.
The silver crown-style eye mask is still so gorgeous and amazing. Sister Devlin sat on the sofa of the Home for the Blind and nodded gently:
"Whether it's for firewood or the location of the First Fire of the Split, I should go to Huntingdon in person. Moreover, it seems a bit impolite to use a clone to meet the 'Lady of the Lake'."
"Does the sacrificial site on the top of the mountains have an exit at Kasenlik? You can take a train to Huntington City. Although I will complete the test tomorrow, I can wait for you for a few days."
Shade suggested. Sister Devlin put her hands together on her lap and showed a quiet smile:
"Firebearers bathed in the first fire, we have other ways.
It seems that the relics that Granny Cassandra has been looking for recently that can safely travel through space have been found. Shade, let's go to Cassandra Auction House for dinner together. Granny will be very happy with our visit."
Just as Sister Devlin said, the old witch who runs a chain of auction houses was very happy about the arrival of Shade and Sister Devlin. She asked her apprentice, Miss Rita Swift, to rearrange tonight's dinner.
Then he asked the servant to inform Grace and Helen that Shade had arrived.
Shade actually comes here every week to visit the twin girls, and the space relics that Granny Cassandra is looking for are also to allow Grace and Helen to visit No. 6 Saint Teresa Square. After all, they are subject to their own curse.
Due to the characteristics of the relics, they can only be moved around Fort Midhill, No. 6 Saint Teresa Square and Shade, and the girls have always wanted to visit Shade's home.
Dinner was arranged in the restaurant on the top floor of Cassandra Auction House. As the headquarters of a famous chain auction house in the entire Old World, there was naturally no shortage of restaurants with such functions.
The street scene of Fort Midhill in early winter, when viewed from the window, is somewhat different from that of Tobesk. The sun sets, and above the hazy fog layer, there is a brilliant sea of stars.
The restaurant on the top floor of the auction house was lit by a maple leaf-shaped gas lamp. The old witch smiled happily, Sister Devlin, who seemed to always have the same expression, and Shade, who was very lucky to have brought the cat so that he could eat with her, sat in Xia De respectively.
Grace and Helen, who were left and right, took their seats respectively. After Miss Swift arranged for the servants to serve the food, Granny Cassandra made an exception and agreed to eat together. This made the somewhat unconfident young apprentice very happy.
.
Naturally, it was impossible to just eat at the table. Although Shade didn't know why the ladies at the table were waiting for him to speak, he still talked about his meeting with Miss Sylvia, the great witch of the thirteenth table, last week.
Grandma Cassandra spoke highly of the young witch, believing that her intelligence and talent were among the best in the council, and encouraged Shade to take advantage of Miss Sylvia's visit to Tobesk to learn about space from her.
Knowledge:
"Now that Sylvia has met you, she will definitely think that you and her are the same kind of people."
The old witch is very accurate in reading people:
"I wouldn't be surprised even if she invites you to become her apprentice, so since you have the opportunity, you can learn more from her. Sylvia is willing to share knowledge with people. Although she can be very paranoid sometimes, she is suitable for most people who are interested in learning.
