Chapter 45 The Goddess of the Lake
Following the path in the forest, Duanmuhuai and Aojis came to a lake, which was full of greenery and surrounded by broken stone pillars and ruins. From the outside, it seemed that this place used to be some kind of temple. And in the center of the lake there is a small island on which is carved a statue of a woman holding a golden chalice.
That's the goddess of the lake.
Looking at the sculpture in front of him, Duanmuhuai frowned, but at this moment, a system prompt suddenly appeared in front of him again.
[The signal of the holy object has been detected, and the coordinates of the holy object have been locked]
"puff-----!"
Seeing this, Duanmuhuai almost spat out a mouthful of old blood——where did the sacred object come from? Wait, is it the Holy Grail?
Want to take this thing away?
Looking at the holy grail in the hands of the goddess of the lake, Duanmuhuai thought for a moment.
Why, you say the Bretonnians won't come and beat me if I take the grail from them.
Anyway, they can't beat it.
Thinking of this, Duanmuhuai suddenly felt stable, the green knight was beaten down by himself, and he was afraid of a hammer!
So Duanmuhuai was also relieved, and then he aimed at the statue of the goddess in the lake, planning to start the jetpack and fly over to get this thing back—with this sacred object, then you can build the [Judgement Court Library] right 【Antimatter Energy Core】Analyze and build a reactor!
However, just as Duanmuhuai was gearing up to make a move, the statue of the goddess suddenly exuded a dazzling golden radiance. Then, the statue suddenly changed form, from the original stone sculpture to A living woman!
? ? ?
Why don't you just let me play the game of becoming a living person?
Looking at the woman in front of him, Duanmu Huai was stunned for a moment, and then he saw the woman bent down, scooped a glass of water from the lake with a cup, and then she floated across the lake, came to Duanmu Huai, and handed the cup to him. past.
"Well……………"
Looking at the cup handed by the woman, Duanmuhuai looked disgusted, don't think I didn't see you flying over barefoot. Moreover, the water in this lake is raw water, which is not hygienic. If you have a little athlete's foot or something, it won't hurt if you drink it?
But it would be impolite for someone to hand it over and not pick it up, so Duanmuhuai took the cup bravely, glanced at the liquid inside, and soon the system information appeared.
[Holy water in the lake: After drinking, you can get special expertise (Goddess Favor) (Goddess Blessing) (Psychological Immunity)]
[Title available: Holy Grail Knight (Charm +2)]
Me? Add charm?
Seeing this, Duanmu Huai's eyes suddenly brightened.
If you want to be more attractive, then I won't be sleepy!
I'm going to add something attractive!
Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai immediately felt that he did not dislike this cup of holy water. Although there were indeed some problems, at least it was quite clear when he looked carefully, at least it was much better than the aloe vera juice on Ah San Street.
It's clean and hygienic, isn't it?
But Duanmuhuai still didn't drink it immediately.
He knew that after drinking the holy water, he would become the Holy Grail Knight of the Goddess of the Lake, but... Duanmu Huai did not intend to sell himself to the Goddess of the Lake.
Just kidding, I am a majestic judge, thanks to the fact that I am not from the Inquisition Chamber, otherwise the goddess of the lake is also my loyal object. How could he do things for the goddess of the lake in turn?
But this Holy Grail is really reluctant... After all, it is a sacred object that is close at hand...
".........?"
Seeing Duanmuhuai holding the Holy Grail without moving for a long time, the blond woman in front of her also showed a puzzled expression.
"This is a blessing from the goddess of the lake. As long as you drink it, you will have enough power to protect this world..."
I know this, but if the price is to sell yourself, I will be grateful.
It's hard to say whether the Green Knight was hooked just like that.
Thinking of this, Duanmuhuai hesitated for a moment, and finally looked at the woman.
"Can you give it to me?"
"certainly."
The blond woman nodded and smiled.
"This cup of holy water is for you."
"No, I mean the cup... can I have it?"
“………………………”
Hearing Duanmuhuai's words, the blond woman fell silent for a while. She looked at Duanmuhuai in surprise, as if she had no idea what was going on in front of her... The Holy Grail Knight asked for the Holy Grail in person. one.
"Thank you then."
Since the woman didn't refuse, Duanmu Huai took her as her acquiescence, so she nodded, and then quickly opened the teleportation coordinates. The next moment, a teleportation beam emerged from the feet of Duanmu Huai and Aojisi, and in the blink of an eye, the two disappeared completely.
“……………………”
Only the blond woman was still floating on the lake, staring dumbfounded at the uninhabited wilderness in front of her.
Not sure how to react.
Duanmuhuai didn't care what the goddess of the lake thought. After teleporting back to the core cabin, he immediately put the Holy Grail on the terminal, and then obtained points to unlock the [Judgement Court Library]——At this point, Duanmuhuai just He was relieved, but he was really worried that the other party would take the Holy Grail back. But now that the holy objects have been transformed, even if you want to take it... you can't take it back.
Then, Duanmu Huai took out the [Antimatter Energy Core] he had obtained before, walked out of the core cabin, walked through the corridor, and came to the library of the Tribunal on the other side.
The style here is exactly the same as that of the [Strategic Command Room]. The entire room is decorated similarly to a church. The bookshelves on the walls in all directions are empty and there is nothing there. An arc-shaped platform is located high in the center of the room, on which a platform resembling a church altar is placed. Duanmu Huai stepped forward and placed the [Antimatter Energy Core] in the center of the platform. Soon, the metal servo skulls at the four corners of the platform slowly rose, emitting beams of light from the eye sockets, scanning the area in front of him. core.
At the same time, a system prompt appeared in front of Duanmu Huai's eyes.
【Antimatter energy core (under analysis)】
【Progress: 1%】
【Time required: 186 days】
"It's been a long time......"
Looking at the progress bar in front of him, Duanmu Huai frowned slightly, but it wasn't surprising, after all, it was an ancient sage technology, and it was indeed difficult to analyze it, and it was only natural that it would take time.
As for the holy water in the Holy Grail, Duanmuhuai did not waste it, so he found a bottle and put it in it. He planned to analyze it after analyzing [Energy Core] and see the situation. After all, it is something that can add charm. If it can be analyzed If you come out to make it, then you can make this kind of holy water by yourself in the future. Let alone drink it, it will be enough for bathing and washing your face...
After doing all this, Duanmu Huai took Augis back to the lake again. At this moment, the poor blond woman was still floating in the air, looking at him pitifully, as if she had been robbed of a stick little girl with sugar.
"Sorry, but that cup is so useful to me, I have to take it."
Looking at the blond woman in front of him, Duanmu Huai could only tell the truth—anyway, your cup has been broken down, and now you can't get it back even if you want to!
"But I won't take it for nothing. If you need me to do something, as long as I can do it, then I will definitely not shirk it."
Although forced buying and selling are a bit against the rules, but for Duanmuhuai, the most important thing is the sacred object......
"........."
Hearing this, the blond woman sighed, and then she looked at Duanmuhuai again.
"Then, knight, soon, this continent will encounter an unprecedented catastrophe. I hope you can protect this world and eliminate the coming threat."
Along with the blond woman's words, Duanmuhuai also had a mission reminder pop up in front of him.
[Activate the mission "Doomsday Catastrophe\
