When he entered the thick fog, Laing had a hallucination that there seemed to be life in the fog, and they were distinguishing the visitors.
As usual, when Leon walked along the long corridor in the castle towards the inner part of the valley, he, who was favored by the goddess, immediately felt a cold divine power sweep over his body.
Laing knew what it was, so he relaxed his vigilance.
The fog dispersed, but Laing did not stop. After the baron entered the fog, it surged out from the forest again.
What entered his sight was a lush forest. It was already autumn in Brittany, but the forest in the valley was full of vitality. Under the reflection of the moonlight and the thick fog, the small valley was surrounded by a quiet atmosphere.
The valley behind the castle covered an area of one or two hectares. In Laing's original memory, the valley was a flat land with nothing in it.
But now, in addition to the dense forest surrounding the valley, there was a clear pool of water beside the tower of the Lady of the Lake. Some herbs were planted beside the pool, but the light was very weak. Laing could not see what those herbs were.
Because his attention was attracted by the figure beside the pool.
A beautiful figure stood by the side of the pool, waiting for him. She had a sweet smile on her beautiful face, and her long golden hair cascaded down to her ankles like a waterfall. Today, the Goddess of the Lake was wearing a charming white chiffon dress with two long ribbons hanging behind her sleeves. The goddess was wearing a variety of gold and silver jewelry, and her green eyes had a hint of blame in them. Her bare feet were wearing simple elven sandals, and her cute toes were painted with red cardamom nail polish.
"You're a little late, my champion." The Lady of the Lake slowly walked towards Laing. Her hands were bare and stained with some mud. The Lady of the Lake exuded a soft light, and her whisper sounded in Laing's ears.
"You're also later than I expected, my lady." The tower of the Lady of the Lake was in front of him. Laing walked in front of the Lady of the Lake and smiled. "I hope this tower will satisfy you."
"Oh! Of course! I'm very satisfied! " The Lake Fairy twirled in front of Laing. Her long skirt and long golden hair swayed in the wind like a blooming iris.
The lady was in a good mood.
After a full circle, the Lake Fairy stopped. "You have done well, my champion. You have defeated the Great Demon of Nurgle and once again protected this kingdom."
"This is my duty, my lady." Laing shook his head disapprovingly. "Fighting against Chaos is everyone's duty."
"Indeed, I appeared a little late." The Lake Fairy also shook her head and smiled bitterly, "Just as you know, my champion, I first borrowed your power to launch a flood attack on Mu Xilong, and then before I recovered, I was attacked by Nurgle. I used all my power to fight against Nurgle, so in the next few months, I could only stay in my divine kingdom to recuperate."
"It was a fierce battle. It's hard to imagine that the Great Demon of Nurgle, who had been weakened by the Knight of the Holy Grail and Kurfürst White Wolf, actually made us pay such a painful price." Laing was originally following behind the Lake Fairy, but the Lake Fairy held his arm. One person and one god walked beside the small pool.
Everything was quiet. The moonlight shone. The noisy holiday was far away. What was left was only peace and faint joy.
The semicircular moon was reflected in the small pool. The fish in the clear pool could be seen. The divine power of the Lake Fairy was circulating in the valley. Everything was full of vitality.
There was some silence between the two. The Lake Fairy smiled sweetly and held Laing's arm. Her full breasts pressed on Laing's arm. "What's wrong? My champion? Today is my birthday. Why do you look a little unhappy? "
"It's nothing. I'm also very happy about your birthday …" Laing shook his head and swept away some of the distracting thoughts from his mind. He suddenly smiled and said, "My lady, can you answer a question of mine?"
"Go ahead." Laing's words made the Lake Fairy frown slightly. The strong fragrance of flowers on her body was intoxicating.
"I heard that the Lord of the Wood Elves, Aralos, is the hero of the Wood Elves who defeated 'Shadow Sin' Morgul this time. When he was young, he once saved an Elven Goddess, the Goddess of Dreams and Luck. Lilith, I want to ask my lady, is that you?" Laing asked with a faint smile, "It is said that because Lilith was saved, she made Aralos do this and that and even made an agreement?"
The Lake Fairy frowned. She subconsciously wanted to refute this news, but her green eyes turned and the Lake Fairy said playfully, "Are you jealous?"
"It's normal to be jealous, my lady." Laing narrowed his eyes. The two stopped in front of the pool. The Lake Fairy sat on the swing, and Laing stood behind her. "As far as I know, I am your champion, and Aralos is the champion of the Wood Elven Queen, Aleil."
The Lake Fairy sat on the swing. She felt Laing's hand on her shoulder, and the goddess' dress gently swept across the ground. She seemed to be thinking about something. "Yes, I was saved by Aralos."
After that, the Lake Fairy seemed to recall something bad. She reached out and pulled Laing's hand. The goddess waved her finger, and a wooden chair appeared beside the swing. "My champion, sit down and talk."
Leon obeyed and sat down. The valley was shrouded in mist, and everything was so quiet. Under the moonlight, the fairy in the lake fully displayed her beauty in front of everyone. "That was a few hundred years ago … At that time, I came to the forest of Esolorne on a whim."
"That's a really dangerous move." Leon seemed to have understood something.
"That's right. My descent was quickly detected by Perverted Sin. It sent a Great Demon to ambush me. Just as you know, my champion, in terms of close combat, I'm no match for you. The attacks of the Great Demon of Perverted Sin quickly put me in danger." The Lake Fairy recalled what had happened in the past, and there was a look of reminiscence on her face. "At that time, the young Aralos passed by. He forgot about the danger, and with my help, he expelled the demon of perversion."
"… At that time, I found that Aralos had the bloodline of the gods. He had the potential to become a god, which may be beneficial to my future plans. So I told him my plan, a new world, a new world full of hope and dawn. I hoped that he could build this new world with my support as the Creator." The Lake Fairy hesitated for a moment, and decided to tell Laing the truth. "This has always been my plan, a new world."
"Because of the invasion of Chaos?" Laing immediately thought of something. He whispered, "My lady, you understand."
"Yes, I understand. When the Chosen One sends his army south again, the mortals may not be able to resist the attack of Chaos. So I try to create a new world to ensure that after this world is destroyed, we still have a place to go." The Lake Fairy told Laing her plan. "You will support me, right? My champion? "
"If that's your plan, then I can only tell you, my lady, that I am very disappointed in you." To the Lake Fairy's surprise, Laing let go of her hand and stepped back with a sneer.
"No! My champion! Listen to me! " The Lake Fairy anxiously grabbed Laing's arm, and her voice was a little impatient. "Listen to me first about Aralos."
"… Okay." Laing's arm was held tightly by the Lake Fairy. He was also interested in Aralos.
"I gave Aralos three gifts. First, I told him my prophecy, that he would become the hero of the wood elves in the future, and he did it. Second, I would adopt his daughter as my own to help me realize my plan. Third, my plan was that when the new world was built, Aralos would become the new Lord of the Phoenix — Asuyan." The Lake Fairy continued, and there was a look of regret on her face. "But he refused. Although I didn't tell him the third gift directly, he refused to build the new world with me."
"Because my lady, your new world can't exist without this world." Laing sneered, and he had lost his patience. "It's like a castle, my lady. You built a room in the castle. Yes, you built this room, so it belongs to you. But when the castle collapses, can your room be safe?"
"It can! I have a way … "" No, you don't have a way. "
Laing's resolute answer stunned the Lake Fairy. She suddenly said in a trembling voice, "You … You know?"
"Yes, I know." Laing spread his hands and shook his head. "My existence proves everything. What I want to tell you is that your plan won't succeed."
The Lake Fairy's beautiful face twitched, and she sighed. "I understand, I understand. My champion, your appearance proves everything. Perhaps, even if we can leave this place, so what? Outside this world, it might not be a peaceful place at all. "
"Correct." Laing stepped back. The Chosen One's eyes flickered, and he said softly, "My lady, the people outside want to come in, and the people inside want to go out. It's much more dangerous outside than inside."
"… When we're alone, call me Lilith, my champion." The Lake Fairy stood up again and reached out her hands to hold Laing's arm. "Even so, I still believe that it's possible to build a brilliant new world. Because of your appearance, you are the best gift the subspace has given me. If Laing has the potential to become a god, then you are essentially the same as a god. You just haven't grown up yet."
Laing did not say anything. The two walked around the pool. The cold autumn air and the humidity brought by the mist were refreshing. The Lake Fairy leaned her head on Laing's shoulder. "Today is my birthday, but I seem to have told you too many things that have nothing to do with birthdays. Believe me, Laing, I don't mean to test you. But when the plan I've been planning for hundreds of years proves to be useless, I can't help but feel sad."
Laing thought to himself. So you know. And how many birthdays is this?
"Laing! You must be thinking something very rude! "The Lake Fairy immediately felt it. She pinched Laing's arm fiercely.
The Goddess's attack was not a joke. Laing could feel a bruise on his arm. He grimaced and shouted, "My lady, please don't do that, or I'll fight back."
"Oh, it's just a mark. What's that compared to what you did to Morgiana?" The Lake Fairy, Lilith, the Goddess of Fortune, teased. "You think I don't know?"
Laing was a little embarrassed. He knew that he could not hide it from the Lake Fairy, but it was not good to be exposed. He tried to explain. "I'm fighting against the curse of the dead."
"Yes, you're protecting Morgiana, but you've also done something to Morgiana … Forget it, I'll allow it. Come with me, Laing."
The two of them walked into the Lake Fairy's Tower. The floor was completely covered by a white carpet with golden patterns. All kinds of furnishings and furniture from the Lake Fairy's Divine Kingdom decorated the interior of the tower. The Lake Fairy didn't like magnificent decorations. Her arrangement was simpler and more elegant, revealing a fresh atmosphere.
When they came to the dining hall, the white, blue, and golden lines of the High Elves' dome and circular decoration style were an eye-opener for Laing. It was a perfect sense of harmony and lubrication. The magic light lit up the interior of the dining hall. The table was filled with pastries. The Lake Fairy gestured for Laing to sit opposite her. "Try the pastries I made. Today is my birthday, don't be so shy."
After tasting a few pieces of pastries, Laing was not in the mood to joke anymore. He had received a lot of information from the meeting with the Lake Fairy. He took a few bites and went on to the next topic. "My lady, the vampires of Muxilon are acting strangely. We've noticed many of their schemes. The Archbishop of the Goddess of Mercy is also missing."
The Lake Fairy tidied her dress. She took off her sandals and floated barefoot in the air. "I know about this. The Lord of the Dead, Nagash, has been planning his rebirth. This matter is related to him, but I don't know the details. Morgiana has told me about it. I'm still thinking about the cause and effect. Since the new world is no longer possible, my attitude towards Nagash will have to change."
"My lady, what was your original plan for Nagash?" Laing asked, puzzled.
"My original plan was … to resurrect Nagash!" The Lake Fairy said faintly. "Also, didn't I say that in private, call me Lilith?"
"Why?!"
"Because …"
