Chapter 105 104. Lady's Messenger
"You want the corpse to speak." The half-fishman priest said in a rather disapproving tone.
Its thinking tendency is probably that of following nature.
I believe that no matter what, the boundary between life and death cannot be blurred.
"I hate this, but if the lady comes to you, she will help you. For details, you have to talk to the lady's messenger. She is swimming over there."
The half-murloc priest shook his brass breathing mask, pointed the scepter to Lan En in a general direction, and said no more.
It doesn’t agree with Lan En’s intention, but it doesn’t want to go against the Lady of the Lake’s intention either.
Lan En understood this mentality, so he nodded to it and looked for it along the river in the direction it gave.
In a bay less than fifty meters away from the altar, he discovered the so-called "lady's messenger".
Before seeing it, Lan En thought it would be another half-murloc.
But when he actually met, he realized that he was completely wrong.
This is a naked creature with lake green skin.
She looks like a slim female elf.
Pointed ears, delicate face, thick green hair hanging freely on the naked body.
Lan En did not conceal the sound of his footsteps, so this creature that was playing freely on the lake under the moon easily sensed the arrival of the witcher.
"Hey, you look good, human. Do you want to have sex with me?"
A natural and friendly smile was on her face, but Lan En was choked by her first words.
Lan En's mouth, which originally wanted to speak, was now open, but unable to make a sound.
She got up from the water and walked to the shore. He showed his body to Lan En generously and naturally.
"Are you a nymph? If it's just about sleeping with me, I want to find a succubus."
Lan En's eyes naturally looked up and down, and he spoke dryly.
"Well, although I really want to tell you that nymph is not bad in bed, but since you don't want to, forget it."
The other party seems to be because Lan En is tall. It has to look good before you want to taste it. Not much obsession.
"It seems that you are the witcher that the lady needs."
The nymph circled Lan En curiously.
Although she had just emerged from the lake, she only had a spring-like fragrance on her body.
Lan En already has a wealth of knowledge about human bones and texture. He could tell from the few steps the other party took that the other party's bone structure and muscle distribution were slightly different from humans.
But I shouldn’t say it. It’s really beautiful.
"I just talked with the priest at the altar. I don't object to helping the lady, but I hope we can help each other."
"Let the dead speak." Here, Nymph also started to frown.
They are typical natural creatures who naturally reject unnatural magic.
"In the past, the lady would never have complied with this request. But now the situation has changed, so this request can be fulfilled."
The solemnity of the half-murloc sacrifice, and the Ning Ning in front of him Fu's confusion made Lan En a little curious about what the Lady in the Lake was going to deal with.
"The lady's power is already so powerful, why do you still need a little witcher? What did you mean by 'the situation has changed'?"
"This is actually the case. It's a question, witcher."
Nymph frowned and shook her head. Her long, dark green hair floated to her chest, and she gently brushed it aside.
“The monster you have to deal with is named Dagon. And it is also the key to making the dead speak.”
“How do you say it?”
Lan En tilted his head and asked in confusion.
For physical monsters, he can kill them fairly smoothly now. But when it comes to curses, magical energy, etc., the embarrassment of lack of knowledge cannot be hidden.
"Dagon is not a creature of this world. It comes from the intersection of the celestial spheres. Its external evil power can be used as the raw material to drive corpses without breaking the magic balance of the area. It will cause demon spirits to wreak havoc and life will be lost. But it needs to be noted. It’s not like there’s no problem.”
“What is it?”
Nymph looked at Lan En with very serious eyes.
“Are you sure that the sins of this corpse are worthy of this kind of suffering for his soul?”
There was no wave or hesitation in the demon hunter’s cat eyes. Lan En's answer was calm and straightforward.
“This is what he deserves.”
The nymph and the demon hunter looked at each other for a long time before their eyes changed.
"I want to believe you, Witcher. You have to go to Black Tern Island with me and meet the lady. At that time, the lady will tell you more details."
< br>Lan En turned sideways, avoiding the hand that Nymph stretched out to his arm intentionally or unintentionally, and looked at the moon hanging high in the sky.
"Tomorrow, Nymph. It's getting late today, and I have a child with me."
After being massacred at the hotel in Vizima City, he was teleported to this village, where he met the half-murloc Negotiate with the Lady Courier.
It was already midnight when a series of things happened.
Lan En and Nymph agreed to find a boat to board Black Tern Island here tomorrow morning.
After that, he went back and found Aaliya, who was yawning until she shed tears, and Urbank's body.
Because the blood flow has stopped, the blood accumulated on the side of the body close to the ground has formed preliminary corpse spots.
Lan En is very aware of this guy's sins during his lifetime, at least part of them.
I also know very well what kind of punishment he will receive tomorrow, so his attitude towards the corpse is not very cautious now.
Tonight, few people in the village rested because of the wonderful sight of the full moon on the lake.
So Lan En took the money to the farmer's house and easily bought a large tarpaulin, packed the body and left.
This village seems to be called Dark Water.
Although it is separated from Vizima by the entire Lake Vizima, the living environment is much better than that of Willen's rural village.
At least there is a sizable tavern in the village.
It was easy for Lan En to take Alia to survive for one night.
Of course, a small hotel in the countryside cannot compare to the central hotel in the Vizima Trading District.
But the smell of pine resin, even if mixed with the smell of cockroaches and rats, is still much better than the smell of human blood and bile.
Lan placed the body casually on the ground.
"Sir, I seem to have a cold."
On the other side, Aaliya said in a daze.
Lan En walked over and looked at her, and she did have some symptoms.
That night, she first experienced the shock of the massacre in the hotel, then the portal dizziness, and then the wind blowing by the lake, which even an adult would have been unable to bear.
"It's not a big problem. I'll give you a few doses tomorrow. It's not a witcher's magic potion. It has no toxic ingredients! Do you think I'm stupid? You'll be fine after a few days of drinking it."
Lan En said it was not a big deal, and Aaliya felt relieved.
In her heart, Lan En is probably the most capable person.
"Also, Alia. You stay in this village until this matter is over, and I will leave the money on the tavern counter."
"Sir.?"
Facing the little girl's puzzled and sad gaze, Lan En crossed his arms and shrugged.
"Hey! Don't look at me like that. I look like a puppy that was kicked out of the house. Aren't you the blood of a running wolf?"
After teasing, the witcher took it seriously. stand up.
"It's too dangerous to take you with me now, Arya. I took you out of Arethusa Academy to help me complete the 'alchemy' that night. I can't do it for no reason after I finish it. I sent you back again, so I brought you to Vizima, but I didn’t expect that the other party’s power in Vizima city would be so great.”
"Whether I let Triss take care of you now, or let you take care of yourself, judging from the power shown by the other party, it is impossible not to have trouble, even in the palace."
"But here is It's very good, a calm and peaceful small village, very suitable for temporarily settling you."
After thinking about it for a while, Aaliya stopped resisting, and Lan En also breathed a sigh of relief.
He knelt down next to the corpse and entered meditation.
Adjusting for tomorrow’s trip to Black Tern Island.
