"What???"
Laing looked up and saw the Fairy of the Lake appear in front of him with a faint smile. Emilia seemed to be frightened by the appearance of the Fairy of the Lake. She hid behind a piece of furniture with tears in her eyes and shivered.
"My lady, this is a misunderstanding. I thought it was Emilia who came to greet me." Laing immediately got down on one knee and explained, "I didn't know you were coming."
"Now you know." The Fairy of the Lake certainly knew that Laing had mistaken her for someone else. The Goddess didn't care about this. Instead, she gestured for Emilia to come out from behind the furniture. "Come out, maid. I won't hurt you."
"Greetings, Lady of the Lake!" Emilia carefully came out from behind the furniture. The little maid reached out to hold the hem of her dress and saluted respectfully.
God, I saw a real God in front of me today!
The Fairy of the Lake was wearing a classic white pear blossom dress with a flower crown on her head. There was always a faint smile on her beautiful face. Her bare feet dangled above the ground, and she held the Holy Grail that countless knights yearned for in her hand. She gestured for Laing to get up. "I said I would come often."
"Uh … Welcome, my lady." Laing stood up.
"I've seen your new home. It's not bad. In addition to the good scenery and environment, I can feel the warmth in this home. A warm home can make knights fight bravely on the battlefield." The Fairy of the Lake nodded. "Let's go upstairs and talk. I have something to tell you."
"Yes, my lady!" Laing led the Fairy of the Lake to the guest room next door.
The Fairy of the Lake sat on the single sofa. The Goddess gestured for Laing to sit down. The faint smile on her face disappeared, and her face became serious. "Laing Macado?"
"Yes!"
"That sword is the legendary 13th Holy Sword — Nemesis?" The Fairy of the Lake's face didn't show what she was thinking.
"Yes." Laing did not need to lie. His answer was simple and clear. "I don't know if I'm the thirteenth Carolinian knight, but this sword is undoubtedly Nemesis."
There was a subtle change in the expression on the face of the Lady of the Lake. She muttered to herself, "Only a grey horse can fight a red horse … The thirteenth Carolingian knight saves the world … The Goddess of Vengeance appears …"
After a long while, the beautiful face of the fairy in the lake turned pale. "Sure enough, my prophecy was right."
"My lady?" Laing was puzzled. He could tell that the fairy in the lake had a lot to say to him.
"Is the Holy Sword – Nemesis exclusive to you? Are you the only one who can use the pure subspace energy in your body to control this sword? "The Lady of the Lake asked.
"Exactly." Laing nodded. The Lake Fairy had seen his battle with the Khorasan Champion, so there was no need to hide it.
"Then there's no mistake. Laing, your appearance doesn't just mean that there's another foreigner in this world. It also means that this world is about to face another test of the final moment." The Lady of the Lake shook her head. "The birth of the third Eternal God of Chaos means that the end of the world is near."
The Lady of the Lake's ethereal voice spoke of a piece of history. "Chaos is incomparably powerful and unpredictable. It's full of destructive power and internal strife. Khorasan worships war and blood, hedonism despises sex and sin. The cunning and changeable Tzeentch is always at odds with the corrupt and conservative Nurgle. These four evil gods are eternally at war in the realm of chaos. They rarely pay attention to the outside world, which allows us in the prime material plane to struggle for survival."
"The demons and followers of the four gods have a clear stance. They will never tolerate fighting under the name of another god. The only way to unify everyone is to fight under an uncontroversial name, and that name is …"
Laing finished the Lady of the Lake's words. "The Eternal God of Chaos."
"Yes." The Lady of the Lake nodded. "Every few hundred years, there will be a mortal champion of chaos who is destined to gather the greatest blessings of the four gods. He is the Eternal God of Chaos, and the barbarian tribes in the north who are in constant internal strife will once again gather under his banner. Soon, the end will come. The Eternal God will rise from his dark throne and prepare to destroy the world. The mortals will have to face the army of the north or the scoundrels below. We can only fight with our lives on the line."
"My lady, you don't have to be so pessimistic. The world has been invaded by chaos several times, and they were stopped every time." Laing could feel the pessimism in the Lady of the Lake's voice, so he tried to persuade her. "Didn't we succeed every time?"
"… I can't foresee the future of the world, but the world is only one step away from destruction every time." The Eternal God of Chaos needed a long time to unite all the barbarian tribes. The Lady of the Lake did not seem to want to continue the topic. She changed the topic. "You have killed another champion of Khorne. Well done. Many a little makes a mickle. This is the only way we can weaken the God of Darkness. The evil gods have been watching your battle with the champion of Khorne more than once. The mist of the potion and holy water has successfully prevented the evil gods from spying on you, but you still have to be careful. You have attracted the attention of the evil gods of Chaos, and they will not let you go. The champions of Chaos you fought and killed were all followers of evil gods. The real demons of Chaos are far more powerful than that … It is strange that Tzeentch, who has always liked to spy on the material world, is the quietest. He seems to be very weak …"
"Thank you very much." Laing was very grateful for the Lady of the Lake's protection.
"I have already arranged your territory. It will be in the north of the Duchy of Kacason, the west of the Duchy of Vanford, and the east of the Duchy of Bordero. You are now stronger than the ordinary Knights of the Holy Grail. When spring comes, the Knight King's invitation letter will arrive at Marlinburg. Until then, you just need to wait. Laing, patience is a virtue. I have arranged a rich baron territory for you." The Lady of the Lake nodded. "As for bigger territories, you will have to fight for them yourself. Do you know the Duchy of Connaught?"
"Isn't that place occupied by a large group of vampires and undead?" Laing thought of something, and his face became strange. "It seems that the Knight King, 'Tiger' Dinoart Jean-Richard, first called for an army to fight five times, and three marquises died. Until now, he has not been able to reclaim that place."
Almost two hundred and seventy years ago, the Knight King Kingdom had a famous "Dole Tower Incident", also known as the "Fake Holy Grail Incident".
At that time, the Knight King was Jules de Lyonnesse. The Knight King died in the battle when he defeated the northern barbarians, and did not appoint a successor for the Lady of the Lake to review. This led to the Knight King Kingdom having to launch a Knight King election. The Lady of the Lake, the spokesperson of the Lady of the Lake, and the dukes went to the Palace of Westminster to hold a King election to decide the next Knight King.
However, the Duke of Connaught, Madred, made a bold decision. With the help of the Dark Sorcerer (later proved to be the Chaos Sorcerer), the Duke of the Knight King Kingdom used a trick to seal and imprison the Lady of the Lake, Morgiana, in Dole Tower, a black granite tower far away from the coastline that was constantly hit by the waves.
After that, the Dark Sorcerer Marfleur created a "fake Holy Grail" and publicly announced to the whole Knight King Kingdom that Madred had gained the approval of the Lady of the Lake and would be the next Knight King. The dukes and the Knights of the Grail had doubts, but they could not doubt the Holy Grail. As the Lady of the Lake was sealed, the connection between the Lady of the Lake and the real world was cut off. The Lady of the Lake could not directly announce that the Holy Grail was a fake. She could only ask the Knights of the Grail to stop Madred from ascending the throne. As a result, a large number of unhappy knights and knights of the kingdom were tempted to join Madred, and the whole kingdom fell into a civil war.
The civil war lasted until a wandering knight passed by Dole Tower. If the reader still remembers him, he was the greatest wandering knight mentioned in the previous article, the "Rose Knight" Tayloff.
When Tayloff passed by Dole Tower, the Lady of the Lake used all her power to guide him to the strange situation at the tower. Tayloff tried to approach the tower, but a giant draconic ape appeared and tried to kill Tayloff to prevent him from saving the Lady of the Lake. Tayloff urged his horse and engaged in a fierce battle with the giant draconic ape. After hundreds of rounds of fighting, he finally pierced his halberd into the giant draconic ape's chest and saved the Lady of the Lake. The Lady of the Lake immediately descended, and Tayloff became a Knight of the Grail with his own strength and bravery. Tayloff and the Lady of the Lake went to the camp of the Knights of the Grail. With the blessing of the Lady of the Lake, Tayloff married the orphan daughter of the former King Jules in the camp and inherited the title of Duke of Lyonnesse. He was then crowned as the Knight King on the spot. Madred was declared a rebel, and his title of Duke was revoked. The army of the rebel dukes collapsed and his castle was besieged. The brutal siege lasted for three years, and the entire Dukedom of Connaught was reduced to ruins.
The only winner of this war was probably Tayloff, because the incident at Dole Tower was believed to be the beginning of the decline of the Knight King Kingdom.
(Tayloff: How did I, the illegitimate son of a Duke of the Empire, become the Knight King?)
After the war ended, a Dark Knight appeared in the ruins. He called himself the Blood Red Duke. The undead who died in the brutal siege heard the call of this Vampire Knight. From then on, Connaught became a cursed land for the undead. No one lived there. No matter how hard the Knight King tried, they were unable to reclaim the Dukedom of Connaught. This led to the existence of such a cursed land in Brittany.
Due to the heavy casualties, I ordered Richard to stop the attack. However, you have given me confidence. I believe that you can reclaim Connaught. You have to reclaim your own territory and prove to all the knights that you can do it, my champion. "The Lady of the Lake smiled." I believe that you can do it. "
"I will not let you down."
After they finished talking, the Lady of the Lake suddenly realized that there was no need for her to be so anxious. Laing still had plenty of Psionic Powers, so she asked a strange question. "So, that witch has left?"
"Yes, Veronica was urgently recalled by Jalan." Laing nodded. The Lady of the Lake could see that he was a little uncomfortable, so she said, "Actually, this is not a bad thing. The witches of Jalan do not agree with the Eight Virtues of a Knight. I will not interfere with your personal affairs, but a wizard is not suitable to be your partner. If you need help with magic, Morgiana and her Saintesses can help you."
As expected! Veronica was not lying when she said that the Lady of the Lake hated her, Laing thought to himself.
The ruler chooses his subjects, and the subjects also choose their ruler. Laing had already demonstrated his great strength and potential in front of the Lady of the Lake. He was still very young, and his potential was limitless. Under such circumstances, the Lady of the Lake would definitely hate Veronica, because the witch might try to influence Laing's worldview and shake his loyalty to the Lady of the Lake.
Therefore, the Lady of the Lake was actually interfering with Laing's personal affairs. It was just that the Lady of the Lake was very tactful.
There was an unwritten agreement between the gods and mortals: the gods belonged to the gods, and the mortals belonged to the mortals.
However, the Lady of the Lake was different. She was probably one of the few gods who had the deepest involvement in the affairs of the mortal world. Just as she easily arranged Laing's territory, she would also be direct with Veronica.
"I know what to do, my lady." Laing's answer was very subtle. He seemed to have listened to the Lady of the Lake's advice, but his answer did not satisfy the Lady of the Lake.
He was already at the mid-legendary level at the age of 25, and with the help of the Goddess of Vengeance, he could easily kill the champion of the advanced legendary level Khorne. In time, he would definitely be another Grand Knight of the Divine Region. Several thoughts flashed through the Lady of the Lake's mind, and she began to pay attention to this matter.
After a few more simple words, the Lady of the Lake finally said, "Also, I will be away for a while. I have some things to deal with in the Elven God System."
"Elven God System?" Laing was a little curious.
"Like humans, the elves also have their own God System, and … there are far more disputes than humans." The Lady of the Lake's tone was a little helpless. "As you know, the elves are divided into three types, and between these three types … it is far from peaceful."
"Then I wish you a happy Winter Veil Festival with this gift, my lady!" Laing suddenly took out a flower from behind his back.
It was an iris flower.
Seeing this flower, the Lady of the Lake's green eyes glowed.
Normally, as a God, the Lady of the Lake had seen all kinds of treasures, and it was difficult for her to be moved by the offerings of believers.
However, the iris flower in Laing's hand was different. The Lady of the Lake could feel that this iris flower was condensed and crystallized by Laing's spiritual energy! Only Laing's purest subspace energy could condense such a beautiful and pure flower!
The flower had a total of six petals, each of which presented six different colors in an extremely unscientific way. Each color represented a moving flower language. Under the crystallization of Ryan's spiritual energy, this flower would never wither. It would always blossom with the most dazzling colors and emit a moving fragrance.
"Oh! I like this gift. " The Lady of the Lake took the Winter Veil Festival gift from Laing's hand. She smiled sweetly and stretched out her hand to take the flower from Laing's hand.
The Lady of the Lake's smooth fingertips swept over Laing's hand. Laing smiled and said, "My lady, you are the one and only flower in the world."
"Ha, my champion, it seems that you are not only a powerful knight." The Lady of the Lake was also a woman, and Laing's flattery made her happy. She had not felt this way for hundreds of years, so she stretched out her hand, showed a beautiful smile, and motioned for Laing to come over. "In that case, I will not be stingy. Come, my champion, come to me."
