"Lady of the Lake."

Hearing the name, Wayne was stunned for a moment, then he remembered that the location of the house was only separated from the shore of Lake Vizima by a city wall. The underground river under the well was most likely connected to the lake outside the city.

The shores of Lake Vizima are where the goddess of the lake is said to have performed miracles.

In this lake, there is not only an altar to the Lady of the Lake, but also an underwater city where many mermen live. Deep in the city, there sleeps an evil mythical creature, the evil god Dagon.

In the game of The Witcher 1, Geralt the White Wolf was named the Knight of the Lady of the Lake by the Lady of the Lake because of his noble character and after he helped the goddess defeat the evil god Dagon.

He was also given an extremely powerful divine sword called the Sword of the Lady of the Lake, also known as Arondite.

Later, Geralt lost the artifact while fighting a dragon, but when he was in Toussaint, the Lady of the Lake appeared again and returned the artifact to Geralt, which showed that she valued him very much.

He believes that the White Wolf is the sword of destiny that can change the world, and is the only demon hunter in the world who can possibly resolve the "White Frost" crisis.

In short, this is a kind goddess who advocates the five virtues of chivalry, and there are many beautiful legends about her in the world.

Wayne's thoughts raced as these thoughts flashed through his mind.

He looked at where the little earth spirit was and said:

"I believe in you, little one."

"My name is Wayne, can you tell me your name?"

Hearing this question, the little earth spirit seemed a little shy. It was estimated that not many people in this world had ever asked her name.

Since a few hundred years ago, the number of earth spirits has been decreasing, and they can even be called an endangered species.

She was silent for a few seconds before she stammered, "My name is Lala."

Wayne smiled slightly, trying to make his voice as kind as possible, and said:

"Nice to meet you, Lala."

"I want to discuss something with you, is that okay?"

As if sensing Wayne's friendly attitude, the position where the little earth spirit was located shook, and Lala's figure reappeared.

She opened her big watery eyes, put a finger in her mouth, tilted her head, and asked in confusion: "Do you need any help, Wayne?"

The little earth spirit is indeed very kind, Wayne thought to himself. He considered his words and said, "It's like this, Lala, this house will become mine soon."

"I hope to live in peace with you."

"I may be away from home often because I have to carry out missions. When that happens, can you help me look after the house?"

Lala was stunned when she heard this. The simple-minded little earth spirit couldn't understand Wayne's thoughts, nor did she understand the evil of human nature.

She thought about it for a while, and couldn't help feeling happy when she thought that after getting the owner's permission, she would be able to stay here freely.

However, thinking of what her father always warned her, Lala replied with some frustration:

"As much as I want to agree to your request, Wayne, my father won't allow us to have too much contact with humans. I have to go back and ask for his opinion."

This answer did not surprise Wayne. Although he wanted to get in touch with this group of little earth spirits and build good relationships with them to see if he could get some unexpected gains.

But if after Lala returns, his father refuses to have any contact with the witcher and forbids Lala and his brother to come to this room again, he will not lose anything.

So Wayne nodded, smiled and said:

"It's okay, Lala, you can go back and ask your father for advice."

"However, you can tell your father that I am a demon hunter. I have no ill will towards you little earth spirits, and I also respect Her Excellency the Lady of the Lake."

"If you can help me look after the house, I will also provide you with compensation."

"remuneration?"

Lala tilted her head, opened her eyes wide, and asked in confusion:

"What's the reward, Wayne?"

Wayne chuckled and said in a tempting tone, "The reward is, if you help me look after the house, I will give you a reward. When you want something that only humans have, I can give it to you as a reward."

She licked her fingers, looked at Wayne with watery eyes, and said:

"Although I really want the kind of reward you mentioned, Wayne, I still have to go back and ask my father."

Wayne nodded and said nothing more, but warned: "No problem, Lala, you don't have to rush to give me an answer, I always welcome you."

"However, before I move in, you'd better not show up during the day. Otherwise, if you are seen by other humans, you might be in danger."

Lala nodded, then proudly showed the colorful conch on her chest to Wayne and said, "I know, Wayne."

"However, I have a treasure given to me by the goddess, which can protect me from being harmed by humans."

After saying this, Lala touched the wreath on her head and said with some regret:

"It's getting light, Wayne, I have to go home."

"Nice to meet you."

"goodbye!"

Wayne nodded. It was almost dawn and he was going to go back in the darkness of the early morning.

"See you next time, Lala."

………………

In the next few days, Wayne did not rush to City Hall to handle the procedures.

Although he had basically solved the problem in the house, if he acted too hastily, the people in the city hall were not fools and might take the opportunity to cause trouble, adding unnecessary trouble.

So he and Geralt went to the Kingfisher Inn and found the wealthy businessman Revarden.

Before they separated, this guy said that he had a commission that needed Wayne and the others to handle.

Now that I have nothing to do, I can go and see what trouble he is in.

"Welcome, my friend. Are you doing well in Vizima?"

In the Kingfisher Inn, Revarden was still as friendly and amiable as ever. He gave Wayne and Geralt a warm hug, and then ordered a sumptuous lunch for them in the inn.

Although he knew that this guy was not a good person, Wayne preferred to get along with smart people like Revarden compared to those rude, barbaric and ignorant poor people.

The three of them sat around the table and chatted casually about some gossip in Vizima.

Seeing that the food in the kitchen had not been served yet, Wayne had an idea and immediately took out the Gwent cards from his pocket and said to Revarden with a smile:

"My friend, we still have some time before we get down to business. How about we play a game of Gwent?"

Upon hearing this, the smile on Revarden's face froze slightly. He was a person who had personally experienced the big Gwent gamble in Floating Harbor and knew Wayne's strength. How could he dare to play Gwent with him?

So he turned his head awkwardly, and was about to find an excuse to prevaricate, when he suddenly noticed Geralt, whose expression was also a little stiff. He immediately rolled his eyes and said:

"You are right, my friend."

"We have time, why don't you let me play a few games with Geralt, and you can also teach us some of your superb Gwent skills."

"I believe that a noble person like you will definitely not refuse my request."

Wayne probably guessed that Revarden would not play Gwent with him again, so he smacked his lips with some regret and said casually, "I do know some Gwent tricks, but the reason I can keep winning is mainly because the goddess of luck favors me."

"By the way, when I'm done with this period of time, we can also organize a gambling game for the Gwent tournament in Vizima, what do you think?"

"This is a very profitable project. You know my ability. When the time comes, put all the chips on me and we can make a lot of money."

Upon hearing this, Rewarden's eyes lit up immediately, and he laughed and said:

"Actually, I've had this idea for a long time, but I never knew how to tell you."

"No problem. When you have time, let's plan it out and make a fortune."
