After a while, the two led the horses through the woods and came to a quiet lake.
This is the most secret corner of Lake of the Goddess. The natural barrier woven by thousand-year-old ancient trees isolates the lake from the world. Even the most experienced demon hunters may not be able to find this coordinate on the parchment.
In other words, Geralt discovered this place accidentally and saw Lady of the Lake, so the two of them found this place effortlessly.
There is a small raised green land in the center of the lake, on which sits a thin old man dressed as a monk.
When the old man saw the two of them, he smiled slightly and said, "You two, I have been waiting for you for a long time, come here."
Geralt walked towards the lake without hesitation.
When the soles of his boots stepped onto the lake, they felt like walking on flat ground.
Dick was surprised, but followed him onto the lake.
He found that the leather boots hovered on the lake for half a second, and a ripple-like blue light appeared on the soles of the boots, as if they were stepping on the solidified stars.
However, the water surface actually supported the weight of his whole body, and even his armor did not get wet at all.
After a while, the two came to the old man.
At this time, the old man's body was filled with mist.
When the fog completely dissipated, a beautiful figure appeared:
With turquoise hair, sapphire-like eyes, a small mouth, and a curved front and back, he is none other than Lady of the Lake.
She was not wearing any clothes, and her important parts were obscured by the hazy mist.
The ethereal voice makes a sweet sound:
"Geralt, why did you come here this time?"
Geralt lowered his head slightly to show respect. "I am here this time just to accompany the demon hunter beside me. His name is Dick, and he is now the grand leader of Witcher Order."
Lady of the Lake's eyes flickered a few times and asked, "Oh? Is it really just like this?"
Without waiting for Geralt to answer, her eyes fell on Dick.
Dick I just feel like warm water waves are flowing through my body, which makes me feel so comfortable.
"Young leader of the Demon Hunters, why are you here this time?"
"Dear Lady of the Lake, I want to see if I am qualified to pass the test of Five Chivalric Virtues and accept your gift of Lady of the Lake's Sword."
"You want my sword?
Then I want to see if you can pass my test."
Lady of the Lake approached Dick, her eyes glowed with blue light, her warm breath sprayed on Dick's face, she stood on tiptoe, and gently pressed her clean forehead against Dick's forehead.
"Dick, don't move."
Dick naturally did as he was told.
"Five Chivalric Virtues are honor, generosity, wisdom, compassion and bravery respectively.
When you were in Odinburg, you tried your best to avenge a hawker, and almost died together with Broom Witch. This passed one of Five Chivalric Virtues's tests of honor.
Although in the end you stripped off all the materials Broom Witch carried.
You are delivering food to a madman in a tavern in a small town Ravenstern.
After his death, you spent money to bury him lavishly, which passed one of the Five Chivalric Virtues tests of generosity.
Although this madman died because he was doing divination for you.
In Black Forest, you discovered the secret totem of Leshen, which indirectly saved the life of your senior brother Russell, thus passing one of Five Chivalric Virtues's tests of wisdom.
Well, if you could drink Blizzard Potion earlier, maybe the matter would be over long ago.
In the Firstfall Bay silver mine, you rescued several miners who had wanted to persecute you, and extended a helping hand to these people in need, passing one of the Five Chivalric Virtues tests of mercy.
Although these people will still have to mine in the silver mines forever.
You, No Man's Land in Witcher Order, heroically and fearlessly killed nearly a hundred Nekker, saved the life of the little demon hunter, and passed one of Five Chivalric Virtues - the test of heroism.
Well, since then, No Man's Land has become a demon-free land.
Finally, congratulations on passing all Five Chivalric Virtues tests.
But I'm sorry, Lady of the Lake's Sword can't give it to you."
When Dick was confused, the voice of Geralt holding back a smile came from the side.
"Lady of the Lake, why is this? Haven't I already passed the test?"
The goddess smiled gently, "You have to ask the person next to you."
Her white fingertips gently pointed at Geralt, "I have already given Lady of the Lake's Sword to Geralt. Didn't he tell you before setting off tonight?"
Geralt finally lost control of his expression, and the cold face of the past was replaced by a warm smile.
He drew out the silver sword from his back and showed it to Dick.
Dick Only then did he notice that the surface of the silver sword was engraved with complex textures, and there was a faint stream of light flowing continuously.
This was the first time he took a closer look at Geralt's weapon.
Geralt finally stopped laughing and said with a straight face, "This is Lady of the Lake's Sword, the grand leader."
Dick said angrily, "Then when I was going to find Lady of the Lake, why didn't you stop me?"
Geralt shrugged, looked at the night sky, and whistled. "You didn't let me stop you either."
"Then why didn't you tell me earlier that you got Lady of the Lake's Sword?"
"You didn't even ask."
Dick's fingers unconsciously rubbed the Witcher emblem on his neck. He suddenly raised his foot and kicked the water surface. The waves aroused condensed into ice crystals in mid-air, and crackled on Geralt's shiny shoulder armor.
Geralt laughed again.
To be honest, the powerful and extremely young leader of the Demon Hunters in front of him put a lot of pressure on him.
Dick has extraordinary strength and integrity. He has almost all the advantages in the world, but he lacks a partner.
This time I brought Dick out and saw him deflated, Geralt felt very happy.
"Dick, if you really want this long sword, I can give it to you as a gift." Geralt had a serious face - he was serious.
"That's not necessary. Weapons are like our companions." Dick gently stroked the two swords behind his back, "As long as I treat them well, one day, the black sword and the purple sword will also become magical weapons."
As soon as he finished speaking, the two swords behind him vibrated slightly, and there was a pleasant buzzing sound.
"Well, yes, yes, you are very aware, Dick. Your two long swords seem to be already Spirit Awakening."
"Spirit Awakening? What does that mean?" Dick held the hilt of the sword with his palm, feeling the tremor of the black sword, and couldn't help asking excitedly.
"Humans are an intelligent race, and so are monsters.
But like Rock Troll, thousands of years ago, they were as sluggish as roadside weeds, only relying on instinct to devour and hunt.
But now, you see those Rock Troll already know how to communicate.
Spirit Awakening is in a similar way. The two long swords behind you are made of extremely high-quality materials, and they have been nourished by you Sword Qi and have taken sincere care of them. I believe it won't be long before they can communicate with you."
"Then can they become artifacts like Lady of the Lake's Sword?" Dick's eyes widened.
"After the blade is Spirit Awakening, the strength it can exert is related to its owner. It depends on how hard you continue to work."
"Thank you for clarifying my doubts, Lady of the Lake." Dick said sincerely.
"Dick, you have already mastered Five Chivalric Virtues, so I should reward you.
It's just that Lady of the Lake's Sword has been given away, I can't take it by force.
Besides, you don't want to accept Geralt's gift.
Well, I can answer three of your questions as a reward."
"Can I ask any questions?"
"Of course.
But if there are some questions that I am not comfortable answering, I will remind you and you can ask other questions."
Dick rolled his Adam's apple three times before squeezing out a sound, his nails digging into his palms, "First question, where is my partner Xiya now?"
