Chapter 98

The Lady of the Lake was still as indifferent and holy as ever. She parted her red lips and said softly:

"Please state your questions, my warrior."

Wayne didn't stand on ceremony upon hearing this. As a transmigrator, for existences like gods, devils, and evil deities, he might have awe, but more of it was out of recognition of their strength.

But more often, he just regarded them as a more powerful high-level life form, and would not truly blindly worship or blindly fear them like a believer.

Wayne organized his language and said:

"Your Excellency the Lady, I have a companion named Geralt, who once made a wish to a djinn trapped in a lamp to have his fate connected with a sorceress. The name of this sorceress is Yennefer."

Anyway, the Lady was not in a hurry now, so Wayne slowly told the Lady of the Lake the story he knew about Geralt and Yennefer. Of course, he hadn't experienced many things personally, so he could only simply supplement it based on the content of the novel he had seen.

Until he told the story after the dragon-hunting incident that had just happened, Wayne had been observing the Lady's expression, seeing that she was just listening quietly without any impatience, and those blue eyes that were originally calm even revealed an interested look.

"So this poor lady has been obsessed with restoring her fertility and becoming a mother for decades."

"She has tried many methods and put in a lot of effort, but it still doesn't work."

"You are a kind and great deity, and from ancient times to the present, many people have praised your beautiful name, so I wanted to seek your help. You might have a way to help this poor lady."

"Of course, Lady Lady, I have always believed in the principle of equivalent exchange. I will always remember your help in my heart. If you have any small matters that are inconvenient for you to handle, you can tell me, and I am willing to serve you."

Having a request, Wayne tried his best to pick nice words to say, and by the way, see if there were any missions he could get from this Lady.

Anyway, no matter how the Lady answered, he wouldn't lose out.

After listening to Wayne's request, the Lady of the Lake nodded slightly, closed her beautiful eyes, and then was silent for dozens of seconds, not knowing if she was using her own ability to pry into the fate of Geralt and Yennefer.

When the Lady of the Lake opened her eyes again, the beautiful Lady frowned slightly, looked at Wayne deeply with those clear eyes, and said softly, "My warrior, the fate of your companion and the lady named Yennefer is full of variables and is closely related to the future of this world."

"Their actions will 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, closely connected with the fate of the two of them. This might be the wish they are pursuing."

After saying these things, a trace of fatigue seemed to appear on the Lady of the Lake's face.

Although he didn't know what kind of ability the Lady used to investigate the fate of Geralt and Yennefer, this kind of ability must consume a lot, and even the Lady of the Lake would feel tired.

Wayne even guessed whether his request had pitted the Lady.

As important protagonists in the original novel, the future of Geralt and Yennefer was indeed of great importance, and would even indirectly affect whether Ciri would save the world.

In any case, the Lady also 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. I wonder if you would like to see her?"

Not knowing if it was an illusion, when Wayne said this, he even had a hallucination that the beautiful Lady of the Lake was standing with her hands on her hips, rolling her eyes at him, feeling quite disgusted.

But all this didn't happen. The Lady was still that holy and beautiful appearance. After hearing Wayne's question, the Lady only considered for two seconds, and then gently extended her finger, and a snow-white pearl the size of a pigeon egg appeared before Wayne's eyes, suspended in the air.

"You just give this pearl to her, and I will handle the rest."

Wayne grabbed the pearl in his hand, only feeling that this pearl was incomparably beautiful. Not only was the surface smooth and round, but it was even emitting a faint fluorescence. When holding it, the entire palm and even the soul became warm and peaceful.

Having gotten a good thing for free, Wayne didn't continue to ask about this matter, but shifted the topic to Eike. He told the Lady about Eike's actions and some rumors about him.

Of course, he didn't say what might happen to Eike's wife and children in the future; this was a secret belonging to a transmigrator and could not be known by others.

"Your Excellency the Lady, this knight Eike, although he is relatively reckless, rigid, and a bit extreme."

"But his actions, compared to some so-called knights now, are undoubtedly more in line with the Five Chivalric Virtues, and he can be considered an excellent knight."

"I heard that a long time ago, you were the symbol of the Five Chivalric Virtues. This knight Eike highly admires the chivalric virtues. I wonder if you are willing to save this soul lost in confusion and let the glory of the Five Chivalric Virtues shine upon him again."

The Lady of the Lake looked at Wayne with some surprise upon hearing this. Although he spoke quite implicitly, the smart Lady understood Wayne's meaning instantly.

However, for this request of Wayne, Her Excellency the Lady seemed a bit uninterested.

Humans were too fickle. Once, all knights admired the Five Chivalric Virtues, regarding the five noble qualities of honor, wisdom, generosity, bravery, and compassion as their life's pursuit and lifelong faith. During that time, the whole world was full of justice and peace.

She had put in a lot of effort to maintain such a beautiful and happy world.

But this beauty didn't last long. These knights with powerful combat values were soon swallowed by negative emotions such as power, greed, jealousy, hatred, and arrogance, and began to kill each other for personal gain, plunging the world into endless war and slaughter.

All her previous efforts had gone down the drain, which made her very disappointed in humans, and gradually she no longer manifested miracles among humans. 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 needed help more. Although they were not as smart or powerful as humans, they were purer and kinder.

Now, wanting her to do what happened hundreds of years ago again, the Lady indicated, "I am tired and no longer trust them."

However, out of respect for Wayne, the Lady still nodded slightly, then closed her eyes, and opened them again a few seconds later. Obviously, investigating Eike's fate was much easier than investigating Geralt and Yennefer.

After considering for a second or two, she said in her pleasant and moving voice, "I have already known your request, my warrior."

"After I leave, you will sink the knight Eike into this lake. The lake water will heal his pain and wash 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 listening to the Lady of the Lake's answer, Wayne couldn't help but feel a trace of emotion in his heart. What a kind and beautiful deity; not to mention how she treated others, she was really good to him.

Two consecutive requests were answered, and she still looked like she didn't ask for a return. Although someone once said that the gifts of fate had already been marked with a price in the dark, this feeling of getting the benefits first and paying later was really too cool.

The Lady's generosity and kindness made his third request a bit embarrassing to bring up.

However, a man's skin was generally relatively thick. Wayne scratched his face a bit awkwardly and tentatively requested the Lady of the Lake:

"Your Excellency the Lady, I wonder if you can give me a blessing, the kind that can make me 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 little while is fine."

After hearing Wayne's request, the beautiful Lady of the Lake frowned slightly, looked into Wayne's eyes, and didn't know why this little guy had such a request.

However, considering that Wayne already had a deep relationship with Geralt and Yennefer, as well as his influence on the future of the world, and the investment she had already made.

The beautiful Lady of the Lake sighed quite humanly, stepped on the clear lake water, and slowly walked to Wayne's front.

She held Wayne's face with her jade-white, slender palms, kissed his forehead lightly, and then her entire figure turned into a stream of light and slowly disappeared, leaving only that pleasant voice still lingering in Wayne's ears.

"You have been blessed by me, my warrior. For the next week, you will be favored by good luck."
