Wizard: This witcher is not doing his job

Chapter 69 The Fisherman King

The task was triggered, and it was still an expert level, Wayne subconsciously wanted to take it.

But in an instant, he froze again. Lala was a follower of the goddess of the lake. His elder brother was captured by the half-murloc, and behind the half-murloc was the evil god Dagon, also known as the evil sea god Dagon.

Whether this was just an ordinary kidnapping, or whether it involved a fight between two gods, Wayne was a little uncertain.

Seeing the demon hunter in front of him hesitated, Lala blinked her ugly and cute eyes, stretched out her hand to grab Wayne's trouser legs, raised her head and looked at him with pleading eyes, and said:
"Can you help me get my brother out, Wayne?"

"I don't know who to turn to for help."

Looking at the pitiful Lala, Wayne thought for a moment. In the original book, Geralt helped the Goddess of the Lake defeat the evil god Dagon, so he was canonized by the goddess as the Knight of the Goddess of the Lake and bestowed with the Sword of the Lady of the Lake.

Since even Geralt, the osteoporotic patient, can defeat this so-called evil god.

Thinking about it, the evil god Dagon is not a very powerful guy, and the task shows expert difficulty, so there should be no very dangerous situation.

Instead, he could take this opportunity to get closer to the goddess of the lake.

In the world of wizards, the Goddess of the Lake is a mysterious creature named Nymph, a mysterious elf born from nature, who often appears in the image of a beautiful girl, and has magical powers just like Dijing, who can fulfill wishes.

Not only in the lake, but also in some mountains, forests, wilderness, and springs, such beautiful mythical creatures may be born. The goddess of the lake is the most powerful and famous one among them.

There used to be a large number of noble knights who believed in the Goddess of the Lake. In order to promote the five virtues of knights taught by the Goddess of the Lake, they acted chivalrously on the entire continent and did many good deeds.

Whether it's for future benefits or justice in the world, helping the Goddess of the Lake is a good choice.

Thinking of this, Wayne chose to accept the task in his mind, then looked down at Lala and asked:

"No problem, Lala, I will help you."

"But before that, you have to tell me all the information you know, such as your brother's appearance, who captured him, and where they took your brother."

"It would be even better if you knew why those murlocs wanted to capture your brother."

Seeing that Wayne was willing to help her, Lala immediately breathed a sigh of relief. In the stories she had read, the demon hunters were all very powerful masters. No matter what kind of monster it was, it was the demon hunter who won in the end.

Listening to Wayne's question, Lala frowned, crossed her arms and thought for a while, then she grinned and said, as if thinking of something:
"By the way, a few days ago, my brother said that he stole a good thing from a half-fishman and put it in our house."

"When he went fishing in the lake today, he was suddenly surrounded by a group of murlocs, who said they wanted him to hand over something. My brother refused, so he was captured by them."

"I'm small, so I didn't get noticed by those fishermen because I hid in the aquatic plants."

"Later, I heard those murlocs say that they wanted to capture my brother to Black Tern Island and dedicate it to their gods."

"There are too many of them, I don't know what to do, so I came to you."

After listening to it, Wayne probably understood what happened, but he soon became a little distressed.

Black Tern Island is located in the central area of ​​Lake Vizima. It is full of vitality, and there is no human being involved. There are many animals and monsters living there, which is quite mysterious.

But if you want to get there, you have to go by boat, and ordinary boatmen dare not drive there.

Demon hunters are not murlocs, and it is impossible for them to swim such a long distance and land on the small island in the center of the lake.

So Wayne, with the attitude of trying it out, asked Lala:

"Lala, Black Tern Island is located in the middle of the lake. I can't get there without a boat. Is there anything you can do?"

When Lala heard this, she frowned in distress, but after more than ten seconds, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she said excitedly:
"I figured it out, Wayne."

"In the swamp village lives the Fisherman King. He is also a believer of the goddess, and sometimes he will sail to Black Tern Island to meet the goddess. If we ask him for help, we should be able to send us to the island by boat."

Wayne also nodded when he heard the words. He also remembered that there was such a character as the Fisherman King, but this person was quite mysterious. He seemed to be one of the lovers of the Goddess of the Lake. He should be a character that could be trusted, at least not from the half-murloc side.

He looked at the sky and found that it was already dusk and the sun was slowly setting. In the dark environment, he wondered if those half murlocs could see things in the dark like him.

But it's urgent to save people, and the strength of the half-murloc is not much stronger than that of the water ghost. As long as you are careful, there shouldn't be any major problems.

As a witcher, Wayne was quite energetic, even if he didn't rest for a night or two, he wouldn't feel too tired.

He touched Lala's head and said:
"Okay, Lala, I understand almost everything."

"You go home now, take out the thing your brother brought back, and wait for me by the lake outside the city."

"We went to the Fisherman King overnight and tried to rescue your brother before dawn."

Lala nodded immediately, took a few steps towards the door with short legs, then looked back at Wayne as if thinking of something, and said gratefully:
"Thank you, Wayne, you're such a nice guy."

Looking at the back of Lala leaving, Wayne let out a sigh of relief. He didn't have time to take a bath anymore. He changed into the witcher's equipment again, hung both swords on his belt, and then took out a bottle of Red Bull from the hidden compartment where snacks were hidden and drank it down. He stuffed a few pieces of chocolate into his mouth.

Only then did he walk out of the house, mounted Lucifer on his mount, and walked towards the outside of the city.

With the magic pattern storage bag, all kinds of supplies on his body are basically quite complete, and he doesn't need to spend time preparing for the battle like other demon hunters.

Riding all the way, Wayne left Vizima City before the city gate closed. After a simple search, he soon found Lala at the agreed place in the grass by the lake.

Without any pleasantries, he hugged the little guy in his arms, and then rode his horse and galloped towards the swamp village.

Lala has lived in this area for many years. Under the guidance of this local person, the two rode horses, took a few shortcuts, ran a small half circle around Lake Vizima, and finally came to the swamp village before night fell.

This is a village built in the swamp, also known as the Dark Water Village. There are more than 100 people living in the village. For generations, they have lived on the special soil in the swamp, firing earthen pots, and roof tiles.

When Wayne arrived here, everyone in the village had already fallen asleep, and only a few houses could still see faint lights.

However, this matter was not related to the villagers, and he didn't want to disturb the peace of these ordinary people. Soon, under the guidance of Lala, he came to a dilapidated wooden house by the lake.

The wooden house looked very ordinary, without any special features, if it was not built by the lake, and it was built quite far from the village, no one would notice it at all.

After getting off the horse, Wayne reached out and hugged Lala, who had small arms and legs, off the horse.

This little guy has a lively personality and is very curious about the outside world. When riding a horse, she seems to have forgotten about her brother's kidnapping. Her little hands can't help stroking Lucifer's hair, and she looks like she wants to put her face on it.

But after arriving outside the Fisherman King's house, the little guy finally remembered the business, and his face became a little anxious again.

Immediately after dismounting, he ran to the main door of the wooden house with short legs and knocked on the door.

About ten seconds later, there was a faint light in the hut, and then another ten seconds later, the door of the wooden house was opened, and an old man who looked quite old came out with an oil lamp, shabby linen clothes, and a hatchet in his hand.

After walking out of the wooden house, the old man's cloudy gaze first glanced at Wayne who was seven or eight meters away. His eyes stayed on the two swords hanging on his waist for a few seconds, and then he looked at the little land spirit Lala standing at his feet, who was only half a meter tall. The expression on his face remained unchanged. He opened his mouth and uttered a few words in a hoarse voice:
"what's up?"

Lala held the colorful conch bestowed on her by the goddess of the lake with both hands, and said to the Fisherman King in an anxious voice:
"My brother was captured by the murloc. I will take the demon hunter to rescue him."

"Please take us to Seatern Island by boat, Fisherman King."

After listening to Lala's words, the Fisherman King's expression remained unchanged. He squatted down and put his ear close to the colorful conch that Lala raised.

After more than ten seconds, I don't know what I heard. The old man stood up, turned his head to look at a wooden boat parked not far from the wooden house, and said:
"Well, let's go."
