Chapter 963 The Third Trial of the Lady of the Lake
Shade observed the expression of the lady in front of him:
"Beat you? Do you mean guessing riddles? Competing in wisdom?"
Shade blinked.
"No, it's just what you understand, fighting."
"Well, you're not joking, are you?"
"Of course this is no joke. Defeat me now. This is your third trial."
The lady in white robe said softly, the light around her was still so soft, and she made an inviting gesture.
"Is this really a trial that I can complete?"
Although the difficulty of the first two tasks, proving oneself at the banquet and exploring the professor's secrets, is increasing, they are both within an acceptable range. The difficulty difference between the third trial and the first two trials can be determined by inappropriate
To describe it metaphorically, it is almost the same as the difference between "defeat the vampire god" and "defeat the talking white mouse" and "defeat the orange cat Mia".
"Every trial has the possibility of completion for you."
The white-robed lady once again emphasized what Shade had said when she first came, and Shade pursed his lips:
"I thought the trials I was going to complete were all trials of wisdom. Why compete for strength?"
The lady in white robe said softly:
"In the first trial, you proved your worth in the material world; in the second trial, you proved your ability to act and judge; in the third trial, you have to prove your strength. This time, prove it to me
your strength.
I will suppress my power and use the occult system of this era to fight against you, so you don’t have to worry about this.”
Shade held the [Night Watcher] in his hand. Although he felt that such a trial was still a bit outrageous, he still nodded to accept it.
Two of the four trials have been completed, and at this point he has to give it a try. Although he no longer has the [Eternal Youth Leaf] in his hand, he feels that even if he loses, the lady in front of him will not beat him to death.
He was seriously injured and died.
Shade looked at Professor Drake who was sitting in a wheelchair, bowing his head in tears on the lake:
"Let's solve the professor's problem first.
Professor Drake, it’s like this, I brought you here, you can make an additional wish, or ask a question. Don’t worry, there is no need to pay any price. You can let this lady restore your eyes.
The legs allow you to walk again, or erase the memory about this journey. You can even ask her to erase all the memories about me in your mind, just as if you didn't do anything this winter, just like before
Live like that.”
The professor lowered his head and said nothing. Shade continued:
"I understand your feelings. I have heard the story of man and dragon. Some people yearn for the dragon and want to see the dragon all the time. But when the dragon fulfills his wish and appears, he is frightened again.
Gallbladder. This is normal, you don’t need to take it to heart.”
"I was actually shocked by my own wisdom."
The professor shook his head and said.
"Wisdom and knowledge are inherently heavy forces and heavy burdens."
The voice of the lady in white robe was very soft, and Xia De nodded aside. Foreigners in this world are deeply touched by this sentence:
"Wisdom and knowledge are also wealth, but we all know that more wealth is not necessarily better. Professor Drake, make a wish. Because of my own trials, I have rediscovered the past that you have deliberately forgotten, then I will have
It is your duty to bury it again. Please make a wish to end this, you deserve it.”
Although this meant wasting a gift opportunity from Shade, Shade thought he should do this.
The old professor wiped his face with the back of his hand and raised his head to look at the two people on the lake. The lady in white robe was surrounded by pure white holy light, and the young man holding the sword was illuminated by silver-white moonlight:
"Wise man in the lake, goddess on the water, I make my wish to you."
The old professor stretched out his trembling hand and pointed at Shade:
"Before you have a fair duel with this gentleman, please give him as much help as possible."
"What?"
Shade looked at the professor in surprise, but the professor just shook his head. He looked at Shade, the eyes on his old face were unusually tired:
"Mr. Watson, all decisions are my own choices.
The fear of wisdom is my own thoughts. I am used to these legs, and I am not willing to die with doubts. Now that I have learned the truth today, why should I forget it? I gained wisdom in pursuit of it back then.
I abandoned my wisdom because of fear, so why should I regret it again now? Fool, I only did it once."
The sunshine at noon shines on the professor, but it makes him look even more rickety:
"It's enough to know this now. At least when I lie in the grave, I think I am happy, because I have no other doubts in my life."
"I have given you other opportunities. Your wisdom is enough for me to give you more power, but you chose the worst outcome back then. The choice you made now is not the worst, but it is not the best either."
The lady in white robe said to the professor. Xia De did not understand this sentence, but the professor understood it. He lowered his eyes and his hoarse voice was almost singing:
"We live on a peaceful island called ignorance, surrounded by the endless black ocean, and we should not have set sail. The dark grave is right in front of us. I would like to sleep here forever and listen to the wind and waves."
"He is afraid of wisdom."
The lady in white robe said to Shade, and Shade shook his head at the lady:
"It's not fear, it's awe. Staying away out of awe can also be regarded as a kind of wisdom. At least teach yourself to be happy before death."
The lady in white robe showed a gentle smile:
"It seems you understand. In response to Professor Kansas Drake's wish, I allow you to control the water under your feet."
"Okay, I can manipulate the water here, and then, now, defeat you here."
Shade sighed softly. Obtaining the authority meant that he could move around the waters at will.
But this kind of help is not enough to give Shade any advantage. It is not that he is timid or cowardly, nor is he belittle oneself and be overly modest. Priest August said that the "Lady of the Lake" is a genuine ancient angel, and her status cannot be compared to
How low was the angel initially?
Even if the angel suppresses the power, Shade is quite self-aware and thinks that he may not be able to gain the upper hand.
As for using divinity here, that is even more impossible. Using a drop of divinity for the sake of a drop of divinity makes no sense at all.
