The Lady of the Lake was still so calm and holy. She opened her red lips and whispered:
"Please tell me your questions, my warrior."
Wayne was not polite when he heard this. As a time traveler, he might have some awe for gods, demons, evil gods and the like, but he was more of a recognition of their strength.
But they are more likely to regard them as a more powerful and advanced life form, and they will not really blindly worship or fear them like believers.
Wayne organized his words and said:
"My Lady Goddess, I have a companion named Geralt. He once made a wish to a spirit trapped in a magic lamp, and his fate was connected with that of a sorceress named Yennefer."
Since the goddess was not in a hurry anyway, Wayne slowly told the Lady of the Lake what he knew about the story of Geralt and Yennefer. Of course, he had not experienced many things personally, so he could only add some simple information based on what he had read in the novel.
Wayne had been observing the goddess' expression after talking about the dragon hunting incident that had just happened. He saw that she was just listening quietly without any impatience. Her originally calm blue eyes even revealed a look of interest.
"So this poor lady has spent decades trying to regain her fertility and become a mother."
"She tried many methods and put in a lot of effort, but it still didn't work."
"You are a kind and great god. From ancient times to the present, many people have praised your good name. That's why I want to ask you for help. Maybe you have a way to help this poor lady."
"Of course, goddess, I have always believed in the principle of equal exchange. I will always remember your help. If you have any small matters that are inconvenient to handle, you can tell me. I am willing to serve you."
Wayne had to ask for help, so he tried to say something nice and see if there were any tasks he could get from this goddess.
Anyway, no matter how the goddess responds, he will not suffer any loss.
After listening to Wayne's request, the Lady of the Lake nodded slightly, closed her beautiful eyes, and then remained silent for dozens of seconds. I wonder if she was using her ability to peek into the fate of Geralt and Yennefer.
When the Lady of the Lake opened her eyes again, she frowned slightly, looked deeply at Wayne with her clear eyes, and said softly, "My warrior, the fate of your companions and the lady named Yennefer is full of uncertainties and is closely related to the future of this world."
"What they do may even affect the direction of the world."
"Even I cannot interfere with their fate at will."
"However, you can tell them that in the near future, a child of destiny will appear in their lives and be closely linked to their fates. This may be the wish they are pursuing."
After saying this, the Lady of the Lake seemed to show a hint of fatigue on her face.
Although it is not known what kind of ability the goddess used to explore the fate of Geralt and Yennefer, this ability must be very energy-consuming, and even the goddess of the lake would feel tired.
Wayne even wondered if his request was a trap for the goddess.
As important protagonists in the original novel, Geralt and Yennefer's future is indeed very important, and may even indirectly affect whether Ciri can save the world.
In any case, the goddess gave her answer. Although it was quite vague, it should be able to soothe Yennefer's restless heart.
However, Wayne still asked softly, "This Lady Yennefer is waiting not far away. Do you want to meet her?"
I don’t know if it was an illusion, but when Wayne said this, he even had a hallucination. The beautiful goddess of the lake put her hands on her hips, rolled her eyes at him, and looked quite disgusted.
But all this did not happen. The goddess was still as holy and beautiful as before. After hearing Wayne's question, the goddess only thought for two seconds, then gently stretched out her finger, and a snow-white pearl the size of a pigeon egg appeared in front of Wayne's eyes, hanging in the air.
"Just give her this pearl, and I will take care of the rest."
Wayne held the pearl in his hand and felt that it was extremely beautiful. Not only was the surface smooth and round, it even emitted a faint fluorescence. When he held it, his entire palm and even his heart became warm and peaceful.
Wayne got a good thing for free, so he didn't continue asking about it. Instead, he shifted the topic to Ike.
Of course, it does not mention what may happen to Ike’s wife and children in the future. This is a secret of the time traveler and it is impossible for others to know it.
"My Lady Goddess, this Knight Ike is rather reckless, old-fashioned, and a bit extreme."
"But compared to some of the so-called knights today, his actions are undoubtedly more in line with the five virtues of chivalry, and he can be considered an excellent knight."
"I heard that a long time ago, you were the symbol of the five virtues of chivalry. This Knight Ike has great respect for the martial virtues of chivalry. I wonder if you are willing to save this lost soul and let the glory of the five virtues of chivalry once again cover him."
When the goddess of the lake heard this, she looked at Wayne with some surprise. Although he said it quite implicitly, the clever goddess instantly understood what Wayne meant.
However, Her Majesty the Goddess seemed a little uninterested in Wayne's request.
Human beings are so fickle. Once upon a time, all knights advocated the Five Virtues of Chivalry and regarded honor, wisdom, generosity, bravery and compassion as the pursuit of life and lifelong beliefs. During that time, the whole world was full of justice and peace.
She has put in a lot of effort to maintain such a beautiful and happy world.
But this beauty did not last long. These powerful knights were soon consumed by negative emotions such as power, greed, jealousy, hatred, arrogance, etc. They began to fight each other for their own selfish desires, plunging the world into endless war and killing.
All her previous efforts were in vain, which made her very disappointed with mankind. Gradually, she no longer performed miracles among humans, and most civilians had even forgotten this legend.
After giving up on humans, the Lady of the Lake shared her love with other intelligent races that were in greater need of help. Although they were not as smart or powerful as humans, they were purer and kinder.
Now, when she wants to do what happened hundreds of years ago again, the goddess says, I am tired and no longer trust her.
However, out of respect for Wayne, the goddess nodded slightly, then closed her eyes, and opened them again after a few seconds. Obviously, it was much easier to investigate Ike's fate than Geralt and Yennefer.
After thinking for a second or two, she said in her sweet voice: "I have heard your request, my warrior."
"After I leave, you will sink Knight Ike into this lake. The lake water will heal his wounds and cleanse his soul."
"He is indeed a good knight. I only hope that after I heal him, he can pass on more kindness and beauty to everyone in the world."
After hearing the answer from the Lady of the Lake, Wayne couldn't help but feel a little touched. What a kind and beautiful god! Regardless of how she treats other people, she is so good to him.
Two requests in a row were granted without asking for anything in return. Although some people say that the gift of fate has already been secretly marked with a price, the feeling of getting the benefits first and paying the bill later is really great.
The generosity and kindness of the goddess made him feel a little embarrassed to make his third request.
However, men are generally thick-skinned. Wayne scratched his face awkwardly and tentatively asked the Lady of the Lake:
"My Lady Goddess, I wonder if you can give me a blessing that will allow me to be favored by good luck in a short period of time and become a lucky person."
"Of course, it doesn't need to be too long, just one day, or even a short while will do."
After hearing Wayne's request, the beautiful goddess of the lake frowned slightly and looked into Wayne's eyes, wondering why this little guy would make such a request.
However, considering that Wayne already has a close relationship with Geralt and Yennefer, as well as his influence on the future of the world, and the investment he has already made.
The beautiful goddess of the lake sighed in a very human way, stepped on the clear lake water, and slowly walked to Wayne.
She held Wayne's face with her slender, white jade hands and gently kissed him on the forehead. Then her entire figure turned into a stream of light and slowly disappeared. Only the pleasant voice still lingered in Wayne's ears.
"You have been blessed by me, my warrior. Good luck will be with you for the next week."
