Chapter 75: First Master-level Mission

"Thank you for your grace, Goddess."

Facing Wayne's thanks, the Lady of the Lake showed a holy smile with a goddess demeanor, and said in a moving voice:

"No need to be polite, warrior, this is a reward for your brave confrontation with the evil god."

"It is precisely because there are warriors like you in the world that the evil god's conspiracy did not succeed."

Wayne's tone was sincere, and he was indeed sincerely thanking the goddess. The holy water healed the hidden injuries in his body. Not to mention other hidden benefits, just the overall attribute increase of five points in physical fitness was almost equivalent to the effect he could achieve by leveling up five times.

And according to his current leveling speed, it would take at least about two years to complete.

The physical fitness of a witcher is basically set after they complete various trials during their apprenticeship, and there will be no more growth.

What can help them grow again, besides the system that Wayne relies on, is only the secondary mutation experiment hidden in the ruins of Toussaint, which can help them go further.

It can be said that being able to obtain such a significant improvement in strength by drinking the holy water of the Lady of the Lake is something that only heard of in legendary stories. It must be a very rare blessing, not as light as the goddess said.

Perhaps the biggest enemy the Lady of the Lake wants to deal with at present is the evil god Dagon who is occupying her water area, so she values him who is willing to help her deal with the evil god so much.

Wayne considered for a few seconds, thinking that he should be able to use the identity of a witcher to get greater benefits from the goddess.

So, he bowed slightly to the goddess and said loudly: "Goddess, you may already know that I am a witcher."

"Our main job is to accept commissions and eradicate those monsters that harm living things."

"It is clear that the so-called evil god Dagon is such an evil thing that needs to be eradicated."

"If you are willing to entrust me to eradicate this evil thing, then this evil god Dagon will become my enemy."

"Although I may not be able to deal with it for the time being, I believe that in the near future, I will definitely be able to eradicate it completely."

The Lady of the Lake didn't seem to expect Wayne to say such things. She was stunned for a moment, then a more holy and beautiful smile appeared on her beautiful face. She looked at Wayne's eyes with hazy eyes and opened her red lips lightly, saying:

"I have heard of the code of conduct of your Wolf School witchers, but I didn't expect you to be willing to take the risk to deal with an evil god."

"This is a very dangerous commission, and you may sacrifice your life at any time. Warrior, I hope you can consider it carefully."

Seeing that the Lady of the Lake did not refuse his proposal, but only asked him to consider it carefully, Wayne immediately knew that this matter was possible.

He immediately responded in a more determined tone: "I have considered it very clearly, Goddess. As a witcher, I am not afraid of danger. As long as the reward is appropriate, I am willing to do some more meaningful commissions."

The Lady of the Lake's eyes flickered, and her voice seemed to have a few more joys. She stretched out her white and delicate palm, stroked Wayne's handsome face, and said:

"Your noble courage makes me happy, warrior."

"If you can help me defeat the evil god Dagon, I will definitely not let my warrior down and will give you a generous reward."

As the Lady of the Lake's words fell, the expected system prompt sounded in Wayne's ears.

Ding! Mission triggered.

【Defeat the Evil God Dagon】 Master-level.

Accept?

Sure enough, it was a Master-level mission, and Wayne was overjoyed and chose to accept it immediately.

Anyway, the mission he received had no time limit. Even if he completed this mission ten years later, his reward would not be reduced.

However, Wayne soon noticed another problem. The mission name displayed on the system was "Defeat the Evil God Dagon," not "Eliminate the Evil God Dagon."

And even if it was to defeat the evil god Dagon, it was also a Master-level mission. Clearly, this evil god who could be regarded as an enemy by the Lady of the Lake was not an inconspicuous little boss like in the game.

However, this was not something he had to consider now. Before his strength reached a sufficiently powerful level, he would not rashly challenge the evil god Dagon. "Since that's the case, Goddess, I have accepted this commission."

But no matter when this promise would be fulfilled, Wayne was now in a firm and decisive manner, quite like the heroic and generous appearance of an ancient warrior when crusade against the devil.

It made Lara, the little guy on the side, look at her with stars in her eyes, and that worshipful little expression looked quite ugly and cute.

The Lady of the Lake seemed to be infected by the momentum shown by Wayne. A smile that could soothe the heart appeared on her face. She wrapped her golden long hair around her white fingers a few times, and then pulled down that strand of golden hair.

When she handed that strand of golden hair to Wayne, the soft hair had turned into a golden ring.

The Lady of the Lake smiled and said: "I look forward to your performance, warrior."

"This is a token I give to you, and it is also a blessing I give to you."

"As long as you wear it, curses and diseases will stay away from your body, and good luck will accompany you."

"If you have anything that needs my help, put this ring into the lake and call me in your heart."

"At that time, I will appear and meet you."

Having obtained another treasure from the Lady of the Lake, and it was still a token that could call the goddess, Wayne was happy in his heart, and under the gaze of the goddess, solemnly put the ring on the little finger of his right hand.

"You have a decent talent for magic; during this time, I will teach you some magical knowledge."

"You have good magic talent. During this period, I will teach you some magic knowledge."

Seeing that the goddess's attention was on herself, Lara nodded excitedly and said happily:

"No problem, Goddess, I am willing to follow by your side and listen to your teachings."

The Lady of the Lake seemed to like Lara, this little guy, very much, otherwise she wouldn't have bestowed her with the seven-colored conch with various magical powers. She stroked Lara's hair lightly and said warmly:

"I feel that your spirit is very tired, Lara. Just fall asleep in this lake water. After you wake up, we will start the teaching of magic."

It seemed that she was really tired. Hearing the Lady of the Lake say so, the little guy immediately felt a sense of sleepiness, couldn't help but yawn, then blushed a little embarrassedly, nodded obediently, found a place by the warm lake water, and lay down to sleep.

Seeing this, Wayne also knew that it was time to say goodbye. He bowed slightly to the beautiful goddess, saluted, and under the gaze of the lady, said softly:

"Goddess, the night is already deep, please allow me to say goodbye for the time being."

"I will keep in mind the matter of crusade against the evil god Dagon. Once I have the opportunity, I will take action against this evil force until I complete your commission."

The Lady of the Lake nodded gently, then leaned over and kissed Wayne on the forehead, smiling and saying: "I am waiting for your good news, young warrior."

"However, please also pay attention to safety. Our lives are very long and we have enough time to deal with this matter. Don't be too adventurous or impulsive."

Wayne nodded respectfully, and then looked at the beautiful goddess with appreciative eyes for a few seconds before turning and leaving the forest.

Until his figure completely disappeared, the Fisherman King, who had been silent, suddenly opened his mouth and said:

"Goddess, I don't quite understand why you would bestow the water of the Holy Grail, which is so precious, upon this young witcher."

"The achievements he has made are not yet worthy of such glory."

The Lady of the Lake was silent for a second or two before saying in her ethereal and moving voice:

"This young witcher is also a child of destiny. His every move affects the future of the world. Unlike the destiny that ordinary people have already destined, his destiny is full of uncertainty."

"Although I cannot see his destiny clearly, I believe that if he feels more kindness and beauty in his life, in the future, he will also give this happiness to others in the world."
