Chapter 86 Mythical Fairy! The Lady of the Lake
Berries!
Xiao En had just climbed over the hillside when he made an unexpected discovery. They were some light green fruits. They were different from those found near the poisonous swamp. They looked more normal. He tried to use the lizardman's rare object appraisal to see if it was poisonous. It was not poisonous. It turned out to be ordinary wild fruits, but unfortunately there were only a few of them. Xiao En only found 6 of them in total. They were about the size of a thumb. , it smells very astringent, as if it is not fully mature.
"Sure enough, good luck favors you!"
Xiao En took out the strange objects found in the beholder's lair and used mysterious knowledge to activate the power within them. Along with a faint green aura, The fruits in front of me suddenly changed. They turned red and seemed to be fully ripe. There was a trace of aura flowing on the surface, which contained the vitality of the natural path.
——Magicberry!
Only 4 of the six fruits were completely transformed, and the other two were collected by Xiao En. He took the opportunity to look around to see if there were any more nearby. This rare item can still be used tomorrow, once a day. The Magic Berry Technique is equivalent to adding a long-lasting recovery method.
"The therapeutic effect is very weak, but the taste is quite good. After transformation, it tastes a bit like snakeberry."
"Huh? Why is there such a strong feeling of fullness?"
Xiao En picked one up and ate it. The wound was slightly itchy. According to his understanding, it probably restored 1 point of vitality, which was a very weak therapeutic effect. But it provides a strong feeling of fullness and seems to temporarily replenish nutrients, just like eating a meal.
"No wonder druids can survive in the wild for so long."
Xiao En ate 4 berries in one go. He had not fully recovered from his injuries yesterday. After eating these four berries, he was almost healed. .
As long as you can find berries in the wild, this rare item is very useful.
Xiao En looked around and murmured: "The environment around here seems not as gloomy as other places."
Whether it is the poisonous swamp or the black forest, that area is... Xiao En felt a sense of spiritual coldness, but there was no such feeling nearby, and there were actually normal wild fruits here.
"Lake?"
After completely climbing over the hillside, Xiao En saw a large lake that was relatively clear. This was very surprising because there was a swamp not far away. There is no way such a clear water source exists down there.
“Why don’t those monsters live here in such clear water?” Xiao En very vigilantly asked the stone blind barbarians to explore the way ahead.
As the stone blind man moved towards the lake ahead, he clearly showed a trace of hesitation and fear.
Sure enough, it’s a bit weird.
But since it was a lucky choice, Xiao En decided to keep getting closer, always to see what the difference was.
There was a ripple on the lake in the distance.
“Get away!”
“Stupid stone blind man!”
Just as the stone blind man slowly approached the lake, suddenly a hoarse and gloomy female voice came out There was a sound, and then a piece of wet hair that looked like seaweed emerged, and a humanoid head whose face was completely covered emerged from the water. She looked a bit like Gemma, but she looked like a more ferocious old witch. She was wearing a long green dress woven with water plants. In sharp contrast to her ferocious and sinister appearance, her clothes were very exquisite and looked like they were made with ingenuity and top-notch craftsmanship.
——Horror Technique.
The stone blind barbarians were so frightened that they retreated tens of meters. They all fled before Xiao En could give the order.
They have no morale at all.
“Who?!”
At the edge of the lake, this hideous old witch walked to the shore, but did not go ashore. Her turbid eyes looked towards Xiao En to hide position, when Xiao En first discovered the abnormality, he had already blessed himself with the 'invisibility' spell.
"What kind of monster is this? An aquatic old hag?"
At this time, Xiao En had time to carefully look at the rickety figure not far away. The other party seemed to be aware of his existence and looked ready to fight at any time. appearance.
She is strong!
But what surprised Xiao En even more was that after seeing the other party's appearance clearly, he actually saw a graceful reflection as beautiful as a dreamy fairy behind the fierce figure that looked like an old witch.
“What is going on?”
The reflections that Xiao En saw under his spiritual vision were all kinds of hideous, terrifying, weird and gloomy scenes, so he needed confusion to block his inspiration and avoid losing too much rationality by looking directly at the indescribable. But behind this weird witch, Xiao En actually saw an extremely beautiful young girl. She had long pale golden hair, a soft face, and a look that revealed a trace of sadness and nervousness. The charming appearance she inadvertently revealed was fascinating. shake.
While Xiao En was staring at her, she suddenly turned her head and looked at Xiao En's hiding place. Whether it was the old witch she saw with her naked eyes or the stunning girl she saw with her spiritual vision, they were all the same. He instantly turned his head to look at Xiao En's position.
“Can you see me?” the stunning girl said in shock.
This is so abnormal.
Xiao En hesitated for a moment and walked out slowly. There was no warning from the spirit, and the other party was not hostile at the moment.
He released his invisibility and said slowly: "Yes."
After seeing Xiao En's appearance clearly in front of her, the old witch's pupils shrank, and the beautiful girl reflected behind her also looked shocked. , murmured: "Humans?!"
"I thought there were no normal humans here anymore."
"Where are you from?"
Xiao En pondered. After a while, he replied: "The Kingdom of Dorne."
"Who are you?"
This is the first time he has encountered such a strange existence. Xiao En has never seen a normal person reflected in his spiritual vision before. What he sees in his spiritual vision is often strange. It's the out-of-control side of extraordinary beings.
Not far away, the ferocious old witch took a step back and half-footed into the lake. She stood on the water and murmured: "Dorne? The real world?"
"Have humans come back?"
As if remembering Xiao En's question, she explained in a panic: "I am the spirit of this lake, the spiritual incarnation of nature."
< br>
"You humans generally call beings like me 'The Fairy of the Lake'."
The Fairy of the Lake? !
Xiao En looked at the ferocious old witch in front of him, and then stared at the reflection of the stunning girl under the spiritual vision, and seemed to believe a little in his heart.
Twisted by the Kingdom of Weirdness?
The fact that such a normal reflection can be seen under spiritual vision means that this is her true side, and she does have natural spiritual light on her body. The environment here probably has something to do with her existence.
The legendary fey life?
It seems that it is still a mythical race in the fey life. Generally, such beings have a transcendent essence called 'divinity'.
The old witch in front of her stared at Xiao En and said in a hoarse voice: "You don't have to be afraid."
"I won't hurt you."
"I was just hurt by this A piece of land was polluted and twisted into this ugly appearance.”
The old witch put away her staff, indicating that she had no ill intentions, and then slowly said: "I haven't seen a normal human being for a long time."
After saying that, she looked towards the lake. There was some strange summons.
Soon the calm lake surface became rippled, followed by two humanoid heads with wet hair that looked like water plants. They were all female in outline, but their facial features were similar to those of an old hag. The figure also came to the shore, and his expression was very shocked when he saw Xiao En.
“Human?!” The slender old witch on the right said in surprise.
Under spiritual vision.
Xiao En saw their reflections clearly. One was a mature woman with long aqua hair. She had a graceful figure and a charming face. The silhouette in her reflection seemed to be that of a lady in the water. The reflection of the second person looked younger. Many, who should be the youngest among the three, is a pretty girl of seventeen or eighteen years old, with long light red hair, like a spirit in the water.
Of course, to the naked eye in reality, they are all three hideous and ugly old witches, and their hideous appearance is very similar to the old hag.
“These are my sisters.”
The lake fairy who spoke first looked at Xiao En and said sadly: “We are the embodiment of the last trace of natural spirituality in this land. "
"There were our kind in that forest once, the embodiment of the forest, the tree spirits born naturally."
"But now they have all withered."
Hearing the words of the fairy in the lake, the more mature figure on the side also said with a sad expression: "After they withered, the ancient trees they lived in were made by the twisted owl. A witch's cabin in the woods."
"Later, it came to life and killed the owl's high priest."
"You must avoid it when you enter the forest. It’s very, very dangerous!”
A kind reminder.
But in fact, Xiao En had already encountered that weird cabin in the woods, and he died mysteriously near the cabin in the woods.
After Xiao En triggered the death retrospective, he ran away without saying a word.
This is the only strange enemy he has encountered so far who died suddenly without any reaction.
——Three sisters in the lake [Lake Fairy] [Mythical Fairy]!
These three twisted old witches are all very powerful. They have the level of fey creatures, and the convergence of natural spirituality makes them natural spellcasters.
"Is this the good luck of guidance?" Xiao En asked secretly.
He stared at the three sisters in the lake in front of him, looked around, and said slowly: "How come this place is not polluted?"
The leader of the lake fairy said softly: "This place is also not polluted. Contaminated.”
“It’s just that the pollution has been absorbed into our bodies, so our appearance becomes more ugly and ferocious.”
Here is the most tenacious side of nature.
The nearby plants have evolved a bit, adapted to the harsh environment of the weird country, and have become more tenacious.
The older sister on the side said: "If this lake is also polluted, we will wither like the tree spirits."
"We are doing this to save ourselves."
< br>The youngest sister explained: "As long as the lake still exists, we will have a steady stream of vitality to fight against our own pollution, because nature will heal our injuries. But once this place is twisted into a swamp, our Death is just a matter of time. "Both sisters use the word 'wither', while the younger sister uses the word 'death'."
Xiao En hesitated and said: "Can't you leave here?"
The deepest part of this swamp is the sleeping place of the old days. Even if they are mythical fairies, they have no ability to fight against the powerful old days. Staying here and dying is just a matter of time. Moreover, the Lake Fairy should be a legendary creature, but the three sisters obviously have not reached that level, and their power has been extremely weakened.
The talents of the mythical race are very high, and the naturally bred fairies are all legendary species.
If we use the description of the East in the previous life, the three sisters should be the charming fairies naturally bred in this land, the natural incarnations that control the nearby rivers and lakes. They are spirits who have been blessed by heaven and earth. They are born with A touch of divine power.
But unfortunately this is a weird country, and it is already very difficult for them to survive.
The leader of the lake fairy smiled bitterly when she heard this, and said softly: "Where can we go?"
Yes.
Where else could they go?
Xiao En has never seen a normal place in the weird country, and even Abyss City is not a safe place for them. In the eyes of many extraordinary beings, tree spirits, water spirits, lake spirits, etc., and all fairy species bred by spirits, are very rare resources.
After nature was distorted, fairy species became even rarer.
By peeling off their skin and hair, you can create a legendary item that greatly increases your charm.
If they are normal, they can easily be imprisoned by powerful spellcasters as concubines and maids. If the pollution is out of control, they will be full of treasures and can make many special items.
Xiao En was at a loss for words for a moment and said hesitantly: "Then you guys are just waiting to die if you stay here."
There is no way he can send these lake fairies into the real world. Clock Nirvana 12 The environment is closed, and there are too many things involved.
Xiao En himself is trying to think of ways to protect himself and break away from the destiny track arranged by the demigod.
As if sensing Xiao En's kindness, the youngest sister stared at him and whispered: "Are you willing to help us?"
Xiao En nodded slightly and said cautiously: "I can help."< br>
"But my ability is limited..."
Before he finished speaking, it was already very difficult for Xiao En to survive here. If he helped them clean up the pollution nearby, it would be impossible. arrive.
There is a lair of a deformed owl in the black forest, and the monsters inside are more ruthless than the last.
Not to mention the poisonous swamp.
The lizardmen on the outside have killed Xiao En several times. There are also the Old Ones inside, and there are still the sleeping Old Ones in the deepest part. They are not enemies that he can deal with at all.
“Not now.”
The eldest sister had a glimmer of hope in her eyes and said excitedly: “It’s in the future. You have a way to save us.”< br>
Xiao En hesitated and said: "What can I do?"
The leader of the Lake Fairy stared at Xiao En for a long time, seeming to be judging something and making a decision. She whispered: "Demiplane!"
"As long as you can open up a demiplane in the future."< br>
“You can put this lake and everything nearby into the demiplane. We can transfer to the demiplane and become the fairy maids who follow and serve you. In this way, we can get rid of The pollution of the past."
"We can also help you take care of everything in the demiplane! Our sisters are very capable and can help you transform the demiplane into a natural sanctuary."
< br>Demiplane?
A dimensional space that can only be opened up by nine-ring spells?
Xiao En showed a wry smile when he heard this. He is now a third-level wizard. He doesn’t know how long it will take to be promoted to the ninth level. Moreover, that is already half the level of destiny. In the eyes of ordinary people, it is basically He is almost like a god, even time can stand still temporarily.
Even if his strength improves very quickly, it is very difficult to touch the 9-ring realm in a short period of time.
The older sister on the side prayed: "I can see that you are a very talented wizard."
"Are you willing to help us?"
Xiao En was silent for a moment and said slowly: "I am willing to help, but I don't know how long it will take for me to be able to open up a demiplane."
That is a demiplane!
It is like taking a huge dimensional space with you, which is even more exaggerated than the methods of land gods. You have a paradise with you. There are half-dimensional wizards who can't shake the mountains by stomping their feet.
Hearing his reply, the three sisters in the lake all showed a hint of surprise.
They seemed to have grasped the last life-saving straw. The leader of the lake fairy gritted her teeth and said: "As long as you are willing to help, that is enough."
"Leave everything to fate!"
"If nature is really unwilling to favor us sisters, then our fall is also a natural choice."
Survival of the fittest, survival of the fittest.
They are the embodiment of natural spirituality, and naturally they know this cruelest truth.
As if they had made some kind of decision, the three sisters in the lake looked at each other. The leader of the lake fairies said in a solemn voice: "Let me do it. I have the most power reserved. Once you hold the ceremony, It is possible to fall into a deep sleep.”
The young sister shook her head and said: "No. You still have to protect this lake. If you come to perform the ceremony, who can protect us in the future?"
"We will never survive the day when he comes back. "
"I am the weakest, even if I am sleeping, it doesn't matter."
Facing the argument between the two sisters, the eldest charming sister reached out to stop them and stopped them with her hand. He said with no doubt: "Let me come."
"Even if I lose my strength and fall asleep, I can wake up the fastest."
"Humans."
"Come closer here, we are very weak now and cannot go ashore at will."
What are they going to do?
Xiao En walked carefully to the lake.
The eldest sister stared at Xiao En in front of her and said slowly: "Human. Please remember the agreement between us, otherwise the spirit of nature will curse you forever!"
< br>
A shimmering pale golden light emerged, flowing out from her reflection and pouring into Xiao En's body through some unknown contract ceremony.
Knowledge screamed loudly at this moment! ! !
"Divinity!!!"
"Master!...It is the power of divinity!...The immortal power of the mythical race!..." Knowledge became manic.
They were excited as never before, greedily absorbing this trace of pale golden divine radiance.
This bit of divine power has essentially changed Xiao En's life form!
——Mythical creatures.
From soul to flesh and blood, because of this gift of divine power, Xiao En's life form has changed, and his life span has reached a point that is far beyond that of ordinary people.
“We are mythical creatures!” Knowledge cheers.
As this bit of divinity flowed into Xiao En's body, the eldest sister also began to become weak. Her figure slowly dissipated, eventually losing her flesh and blood entity and turning into a hazy blur. A hazy shadow, a sleeping lady with long aqua hair. She transformed from a flesh-and-blood entity into a spirit-like existence.
"This..."
Xiao En's expression was very shocked. The reward the other party gave him for his promise was really amazing.
Before falling asleep, the elderly lake fairy murmured: "Humans. Don't let us wait too long."
"Once the old days wake up, they will take away this piece of land. The last trace of natural vitality on the land..."
"We can't last long..."
These three legendary mythical fairies seem to have pinned their last hope on Xiao En, who they just met. They made a huge gamble and asked one of the lake fairies to give a trace of divinity to Xiao En. to the human beings in front of him.
They have done everything they can to survive.
Normally, proud elves are unwilling to follow and serve other people, let alone the legendary lake fairies, who themselves are the lords of many fairy species.
But in the current situation, only the demiplane can save them.
This is indeed a good luck opportunity guided by divination, but for many evil people, killing the three sisters in the lake is probably the best choice to maximize their profits.
Xiao En's kindness was rewarded in another way.
——Spirit.
A unique talent was also injected into Xiao En's body through the ritual, giving him stronger immunity resistance. This talent is generally only possessed by fey creatures.
Three forks in the road.
The strange thing that Ms. Hecate left for him seems to have very special powers.
Xiao En had never thought of this pie-in-the-sky good thing before.
"You should study prophecy spells when you have time."
Today's encounter was simply a matter of calculating, seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune, and knowing in advance which direction good things would happen. If he can achieve success in prophecy, Xiao En will be able to deduce where there are opportunities for good fortune in the future.
This is much better than fighting monsters hard and bleeding on the tip of the knife.
The relics of the Dark Age, the fallen legendary demiplane, and the legacy left by the demigods can theoretically be found using prophecy.
