The Divine Hunter Chapter 17: Lake Girl and Yada

A round of warm yellow light is reflected on the vast blue lake. The water vapor hovers and changes on the lake surface, sometimes like a galloping horse, sometimes like a crawling dragon, sometimes like milky white incense lingering, creating a It's like a paradise on earth.

Roy stood in front of Lake Vizima, with the bustling trade district on the other side looming. The morning breeze blows head-on with the smell of abundant water vapor, algae and mud.

He stepped into the slightly cool lake water and walked towards the center of the lake. The water covered the silver flying lion boots and gray tight leather pants under his feet, reaching his waist.

The dark red Alondette moved lightly in the water, the sword blade broke through the water flow, trembling lightly, and invisible magic power was injected into the lake water.

The snake pie pendant buzzed.

In the blink of an eye, a moving silhouette appeared under the lake.

She patrolled around the witcher at a speed beyond ordinary people's imagination. She was graceful and graceful, like a lively dolphin, a weak and boneless snake, and more like a mermaid.

"Wow..." The figure broke through the water, revealing half of her graceful body, which was as white as a lotus root, and her waist was as round as a hand.

Large swaths of water droplets slid over her skin, which was as smooth as silk, as soft and delicate as a newborn baby, exuding a thrilling beauty.

She shook her head, and her loose light green hair jumped on her shoulders, like water plants swaying in the wind, covering most of her face.

Her face was originally no more than the size of a palm and looked like an exquisite doll, with a small nose, pure gem-like eyes, and soft petal-like lips. It can be called a work of art.

At this time, she smiled innocently and charmingly. The two small dimples on her face were like whirlpools in the lake, making people intoxicated.

Vivian

Age: 355

Identity:

Lady of the Lake/Nymph (Water Fairy), God of the Church of Virtue

? ? (Perception is too low to obtain)

…

"Good morning, dear Ms. Vivian, Roy of Lake Vizima pays you my respects!" The demon hunter returned Arondette's sword to its sheath, put one hand on her chest and saluted her. .

"Roy of Lake Vizima, I have been waiting for you for a long time." Vivian's gorgeous fish tail swayed playfully in the lake water, slowly approaching, her jewel-like bright eyes seemed to penetrate his body and soul, she said with amazement, "It has only been more than a year, but your power has made such long-term progress... bloodline, genes, and some powerful and weird characteristics."

Unconsciously, Vivian’s small brows wrinkled and her nose shrank, as if she was feeling something, but soon, she showed a relieved expression again,

"If a year ago you were a young bird that had just learned to fly, and now you have full wings and are able to stand alone... you gave me a big surprise."

"This is probably because of the Green Grass Trial... I passed the second Green Grass Trial..." Roy held the little hand extended by the Lake Girl and gave her a kiss, and the soft and long-lasting fragrance of narcissus flowed out. Enter the nasal cavity.

He directly ignored the last sentence, "Compared to you, my changes are insignificant. You are now as dazzling as a star, and your power is beyond my reach."

Now Vivian has restrained all magic fluctuations.

If you ignore the fish tail, she is a stunningly beautiful girl next door.

However, there is a unique temperament in her movements. When Roy stares at her, he can always see the reflection of Lake Vizima, as if countless flexible water waves are making whirlpools around her... She is natural , she is Lake Vizima.

When Roy was studying the roar of the water element field in Nuo City, he vaguely saw the water fairy among the four world spirits.

It was very similar to the feeling Vivian gave her.

"Okay, leave the sweet words to your lover. There is no need for politeness or flattery between us." Vivian smiled and waved her hand casually, "Let's talk in another place, otherwise we will have to let the people in the palace Two cunning little guys are in a dilemma."

"You should also meet Yada."

A cold mist immediately enveloped the two of them.

Roy's eyes were dazzled, and at the same time his feet were empty. The light wind and moisture brushed his skin, but he did not resist.

In just one breath, he was down to earth again.

He teleported from the lakeside to the mist-shrouded palace in the middle of the lake, which he had visited once before.

The surrounding stone pillars are still dilapidated and covered with water plants and dewdrops.

Directly in front of the palace, Vivian sat in front of a throne made of shells and decorated with pearls and algae. She pressed her left elbow on the armrest and supported her chin with her palm. Her long tail covered with colorful scales lay lazily on the right.

Like a fish that has just left the water and landed on land, it slaps the ground,

She let out another breath.

The air in front of him was filled with a burst of colorful rainbow light... The rainbow light surrounded an irregular sphere and suddenly exploded like fireworks.

A woman with a fit figure and a loose white dress suddenly appeared in the palace.

The beautiful auburn hair is spread over the body, like a small brown waterfall. The waves are undulating and golden.

The skin is also dazzlingly white and smooth without any blemishes.

"Good day, Ms. Vivian, why did you suddenly call me here?"

The lady in the lake smiled, raised her chin behind her, and her attitude was intimate. She didn't look like a superior **** at all, but more like Yada's good sister.

"Roy? Haha! When did you come to Vizima? Why didn't you inform me in advance?" Yada's eyes narrowed to slits, she came over with a bright smile, and stretched out her right hand towards the witcher.

Roy saluted and glanced at the woman's face with neither humility nor arrogance.

She wore no makeup, and her straight nose and sharp red lips showed her stubborn character. Her eyebrows were slightly slender, giving her a different kind of charm.

But her red lips were pursed tightly, with a smile, and she had a perseverance and sassiness that was not inferior to that of a man.

"Your Majesty Yada, I haven't seen you for a year, and you look much healthier than before."

Roy's eyes glanced over her hair, which was no longer as pale as before.

"Don't call me Your Majesty, you saved my life, you are my friend, you can call me by my name."

Yada noticed his eyes, turned her index finger a few times, and entangled the hair beside her ear.

"As for my hair, not long after you helped me lift the curse last time, it completely changed color. The lady said this was a sign that the curse was gone, and my hair returned to its original color."

"Speaking of which, you are...well...different..." The woman raised her gaze, her charming eyes sweeping over the short hair on his head and paused for a while, "I remember you were about the same height as me at the beginning, but now you are half taller. The color of his pupils has also changed, and his muscles are much stronger..."

Yada squeezed Roy's arm unceremoniously.

The latter's cheeks twitched slightly.

"It's rare that you come to see me, madam. Have you figured it out and are ready to join the Church of Virtue and do something great together?" Yada looked at him expectantly,

"I have joined another organization."

"That's a shame."

Roy glanced at the two charming faces and changed the topic,

"Yada, Ms. Vivian, you have been away for such a long time. I am very curious about the current situation of the Virtue Church. Is it still developing smoothly?"

The princess of Vizima glanced at the Lake Girl, who nodded to her.

"Facts have proved that my original development policy was extremely correct!" Yada raised her chin slightly and walked around the demon hunter quite proudly, "There are a total of 128 villages in the outskirts of Vizima. , more than two-thirds have opened their doors to virtue churches..."

"In the Vizima Lake area and the nearby Temeria River Basin, the belief of the Lady in the Lake has even overwhelmed the Eternal Fire and Meriteri..." She made a fist with her right hand and waved it powerfully from top to bottom,

"The total number of believers in the Church of Virtue has exceeded one thousand, well, plus ten priests and thirty half-fishmen."

She waved her hand casually, and a light curtain appeared in mid-air, in which pious faces flashed, including men, women, old and young. They were praying towards the exquisite statue of the Lady in the Lake.

"Tsk tsk...amazing." Roy's eyes were filled with wonder. In just one year, a little-known church actually developed to this extent. This was just a city in Vizima.

"Roy, this is the general trend, this is the inevitable result!" Yada looked at the lady with respect, "Ms. Vivian is not as fraudulent as other faiths. The lady does not ask for offerings or donations."

"All it takes is simple and pure faith and a sincere prayer once a day."

The lake girl who was sitting on the shell changed her posture after hearing this, with her hands clasped in front of her lower abdomen, her posture was upright, and her expression was quite sacred.

However, Roy looked over and she winked at him again.

"And the goddess will bestow tangible benefits to believers."

"For fishermen who make a living from the water."

"The Church of Virtue has formulated a more reasonable fishing plan, and the lives of all fishermen have been improved. They will no longer worry about not having enough to eat, and they no longer have to worry about floods or water ghost attacks."

"As for other poor families..." Yada nodded and said, "There are many kind-hearted people in the rich class in the church who are willing to selflessly pay real money for the suffering compatriots... to save them from the trough. ”

Roy nodded, Yada was right.

The Lady in the Lake almost never does evil. She stays in the Vizima Lake area honestly, restraining the monsters in the water, taking care of the lakeside residents, and maintaining the ecological balance of the lake area.

The only high-ranking member of the Church of Virtue is the high priest Yada. This princess is ambitious and strives for development, and there is no behavior to enrich herself.

The purpose of the church is to guide people to do good and follow the virtues of chivalry. Although it is too idealistic, there is no harm to others if there are more idealists in this world.

At least for now, it is only natural that this kind of church, which only cares about its believers, has "gods" showing "miracles" from time to time, and has a sunny and upward purpose, should develop and grow.

"So what is King Foltest's attitude now?" Roy asked, "Is he still doing his best to suppress the Church of Virtue?"

Hearing this, Yada took a deep breath, her chest rose and fell, and said helplessly and distressedly, "That old guy... specially invited several royal advisors to act as watchdogs."

"Two of them only wore a few rags and went around seducing men all day long. They often wandered around the lake area, which greatly affected the normal activities of the church."

"A few rags and sluts?" Roy suddenly interrupted, "Are you referring to the two sorceresses?"

"Apart from Keira Metz and Triss Merigold, who else is there?" Yada tensed up and shook her head with a look of disgust, "These two women are cunning enough...every time they run away Go to the Lake District to scare the believers away, but don’t do anything..."

"It completes the task assigned by the old guy without offending Ms. Vivian too much. But their behavior of being a wallflower is really depressing."

Yada continued,

"Oppression is more frequent in the city. Anyone who mentions the names of the Church of Virtue and the Lady in public, or performs an act of prayer, will immediately be imprisoned and tortured by the Knights of the White Rose."

"Believers in the city can still only hide in the sanctuary in the sewers for daily prayers... Yes, that's the area where you once cleared out the followers of the God of Omens."

"Foltest is stubborn..." Yada shook her head and said confidently, "The rise of the Church of Virtue will definitely not affect his rule, but will greatly improve the people's sense of identity with this city."

"But he couldn't understand and insisted on having his own way! He also wanted me to marry the little brat from Redania, but I refused!"

Does the little brat of Redania refer to the famous hard-hearted Radovid in the future?

"His suppression is doomed to fail!" Yada chuckled, with a determined look on her face, "In a few years, the entire coast of Lake Vizima and the Temeria River Basin will become Vivian A place of faith for ladies."

"When the time comes, Foltest will have to think carefully if he wants to do something unjust again."

……

Roy turned his gaze and glanced at the lady in the lake, who was gently stroking her seaweed-like hair and smiling gently at him,

"There is no doubt that the Church of Virtue will succeed sooner or later. But Yada, Ms. Vivian, let me venture to ask, what is the development goal of the church?"

Roy’s voice is soft,

"After all the Vizima Lake area is collected..."

He paused, "And then turn all the lake areas in the north, and even the lake areas in the south, into Ms. Vivian's place of faith?"

"My knight, there is no need to worry..." Vivian, who was sitting on the shell, spoke, with a clear and sweet voice that made people feel like spring breeze. "There are other sisters in other lake areas, and I have no intention of competing with them for territory."

"I don't have that much ambition."

"The development of the Church of Virtue will be terminated at the right time," Ms. Hu Zhong said seriously. "I only hope that the people in Lake Vizima and the nearby Temeria River Basin can believe in virtue and live and work in peace and contentment."

"My believers can enjoy another life in my kingdom after they die."

And the scene emerged in Roy's mind - accompanying Vivian to release the soul-changing water elves in the Vizima Lake area.

A trace of unwillingness flashed across Yada's face. Her ambitions were originally more than that, but as a priest, she naturally would not violate the goddess's words, "Ms. Vivian's will is my ideal."

"Well, maybe I can do you a little favor to achieve this ambitious goal faster."

Roy glanced at the two ladies,

"This is also the main purpose of my visit this time."

He originally wanted to tell Yada and the goddess two news.

The first news - Foltest has an illegitimate daughter in Baron La Valette.

But then I thought about it, I made a promise to Lady Louisa not to reveal to others that she and Foltest were dirty.

And it would be too disgraceful to involve their daughter, that innocent girl, as a bargaining chip.

He gave up the information.

I prepared the draft and directly revealed the second piece of news - some information about the future First Northern War.

Yada's pretty face showed a puzzled look at first, and then her charming eyes lit up.

"In July next year, Cintra's army will be completely wiped out by the Nilfgaardian army in the Battle of Manada, and finally the city will be massacred and the country will be destroyed? Roy, are you sure you are not kidding?"

"My ability to predict is due to a mutation. It has been verified many times and has never had any problems." Roy looked calmly at the lady in the lake and Yada, "This is the picture I saw in my eyes - a Cintra was filled with rivers of blood and thick smoke. Nilfgaard's black-armored soldiers were everywhere, burning, killing and looting, turning Cintra into a **** on earth."

“It’s up to you to believe it or not.”

"My knight, have you forgotten? I can see a glimpse of the future and the past through the movement of water." Vivian said with a smile, "I had a premonition that you would come to visit and reveal an important news. News."

"I believe in you, and I appreciate your trust."

Since the noble lady recognized this prophecy, Yada, as the high priest, immediately waved her hand with excitement, walked around in her mink boots, and said, "It is of great significance to know the outcome of a large-scale war in advance! There's so much I can do!"

“It’s easy to make a lot of money, gather more believers, and even completely reverse Voltest’s attitude towards the church!”

"Roy, that's interesting." Her Royal Highness the Princess was so excited that she stretched out her arms to hug the demon hunter affectionately and gave him a heavy hug.

The latter enjoyed the warm touch and the scent of fragrance without changing his expression.

He has been trained to be invulnerable by Rita Nieder who teases her anytime and anywhere.

"How can I thank you?"

"No need to be grateful."

Roy smiled and shook his head. As a demon hunter, he could not win the trust of others in Vizima.

This will only be a waste of valuable future information.

But if it is left to a princess of a country, it will work.

Maximize profits.

"To be honest, six months ago, several fellow witchers, including my teacher Leisuo, and I established the witcher brotherhood in Nuo City. But currently, there are only a dozen companions, and we are very weak."

"The road to development for a witcher is difficult and tortuous,"

Roy said sincerely,

"Ms. Vivian, Yada, if you can, I hope that at some point in the future, when the Brotherhood encounters a crisis that it cannot handle, you will lend a helping hand to the best of your ability."

"Even Ms. Vivian personally took action?"

"You are my appointed knight, even if you don't have this precious trust today," Vivian suddenly shook her head, and the colorful and huge fish tail under her body quickly slapped the wet ground, "If you When trouble comes, I cannot sit back and ignore it. I believe the same is true for you."

"You don't understand how important this news is to me, Roy, you should get an extra reward..." Yada showed her majesty as a princess and helped in a serious manner, "Materials, money, or something else. ?!"

She praised again,

"I have to say that your idea of ​​a demon hunter brotherhood is very much to my liking. You are different from the usual demon hunters who just wait to die!"

"If you are really sorry..." Roy rubbed his chin and thought, "Then, please give me some Temerian Oren. Next year, the Brotherhood will need more money..."

"How about ten thousand Temerian orens? If it's not enough, I'll think of a way to make it up."

……

Roy's shriveled wallet bulged, and he completed Vizima's first task as planned.

"Roy, have a good few days in the city," Yada patted her swollen chest and said generously, "Let me do my best as a landlord! Maybe I need you. Do this professional a favor."

"A few of our parishes have had a bit of an accident. We just need professionals."

The witcher made a gesture of listening.

The lady in the lake interrupted her

"Yada, Roy has other important matters."

She waved to the witcher, her bright eyes like rippling autumn water.

"Go to work, my knight... We can solve the parish's troubles ourselves. But don't forget your identity~IndoMTL.com~Your bond with Vizima Lake, we are your solid backing, there are Come back and have a look."

"I can't thank you enough."

The Lake Girl left a meaningful parting message.

"Finally, I have a piece of advice for you. There is an ominous and terrifying aura about you... which makes me extremely uneasy. The last time I saw you, it was not so serious. This time - if it is true... you have to control yourself. Power, use with caution."

"Don't be infected by it and lose yourself."

Blood tentacles?

This is a symbol of my will.

Roy nodded,

"Dear Madam, don't worry!"

He had a strong intuition, as if this was the truth - there was no way his power could be turned against him.

"Roy of Vizima Lake will always be Roy."
