The Whispering Verses Chapter 925: Barefoot nun

The cat led the way, and Shade and Sister Devlin led the horses side by side to the surface of Lake Kalek.

When he first started walking on the lake, the surrounding scenery was very clear. Shade could clearly see the three rings on little Mia's tail not far in front. He could only smell the wet water vapor on the lake; but After walking for more than ten steps, the mist rose from nowhere. The surrounding heavy fog suddenly obscured the scenery around the lake. Even the little Mia in front had only her flexible tail left to swim in the thick fog. Seen in the fog.

In the thick fog, the [Metamorphosis Ring], [Fish Training Ring] and [Vampire Ring] seemed to be glowing, dispersing a little of the fog, making the tail extremely clear.

"Where did this thick fog come from?"

Xia De thought in his mind, but like the nun, he remained silent. The two of them led the horses in silence and continued walking toward the depths of the lake. Unknowingly, the little Mia in front became clearer and clearer, and the surrounding thick fog gradually dispersed.

However, the lake is no longer surrounded by the countryside west of Huntington City, but a winter forest surrounding the lake. It seemed that when they were walking on the lake, they traveled to another time and space and came to the mysterious Lake of Cherubim.

"Look, the island in the middle of the lake."

Shade said softly to Sister Devlin, and then sighed:

"Every time I find this place it is so interesting. If I could come here dozens of times in a row, it would be enough to publish a fairy tale book."

At this time, little Mia had successfully landed on the island, and then looked around excitedly. Before Shade and Sister Devlin could catch up, a "dangerous" big guy appeared on the shore of the island in the middle of the lake.

It is the wild wolf that was "resurrected" by the power of the relic [Swamp Witch] when Shade first saw the Lake of Cherubim but failed to make contact.

I saw it the last time I landed on the island, but I didn't expect it to still be on the island.

The wild wolf was very powerful in the wolf pack before it was alive, otherwise it would not have survived Shade's pursuit, and its size could definitely be considered a "giant" for little Mia.

The wolf appeared in front of little Mia. The city cat had never seen this kind of creature before and looked at it curiously. The wild wolf was eager to pounce on the "weak" cat, so the orange cat "howled" and threatened the wolf:

"Meow~"

The "resurrected" wild wolf immediately ran away with its tail between its legs. When Shade let go of the reins and quickly came to Mia's side, the wolf had even disappeared into the low bushes on the island.

"Oh, my Mia, why are you so bold? If the wolf hadn't been frightened by me, you would have been in danger today!"

Shade quickly picked up the cat. The cat looked at him doubtfully, and then shrank into Shade's arms. Behind Shade, Sister Devlin, who was leading two horses ashore, clearly felt that it was the strange cat itself that scared off the strange wolf.

In short, compared to the previous two visits to the Lady of the Lake, this visit was surprisingly smooth.

After placing the two horses on the shore and letting them graze, Shade and Sister Devlin came to the lake in the middle of the island in the middle of the lake.

In the middle of the lake stands a slender boulder with sharp edges. The lady in white robe holding a staff is waiting for the arrival of the two people under the boulder.

"Sister, the lake here prohibits abilities such as water walking."

Xia De reminded in a low voice.

Sister Devlin nodded, then respectfully saluted the lady in white robe in the middle of the lake, and finally lowered her head to "gazing" at the lake with no waves in the middle of the lake.

After hesitating for a moment, she bent down slightly, reached for the hem of her robe, took off her brown ladies' lace-up short cloth boots and placed them on the shore.

Putting her hands together on her abdomen, Sister Devlin walked barefoot towards the water like a pilgrim. Under Shade's surprised gaze, she actually stood on the water like the "Lady of the Lake".

Sister Devlin walked towards the center of the lake. The trailing hem of her robe left arc-shaped ripples on the calm water, but the robe itself was not wet.

Shad did not look at Sister Devlin's feet. In this era, it is quite impolite to peek at a lady's feet directly:

"But can I stand on the water if I take off my shoes?"

He guessed doubtfully, but no matter how much he thought about it, he knew it wouldn't be that simple.

Then he looked up at Sister Devlin's back. The nun had already arrived in the middle of the lake. After she saluted the lady in white robe holding the staff again, she turned around and "looked" at Shade:

"Xia De, let go of your spirit, integrate yourself with this world, and imagine that you are the boundless water itself."

The nun seemed to give the answer directly, but in fact it was like Shade telling Agelina the conclusion of his thesis and asking Agelina to prove it. Sometimes what matters is not the answer, but the process, and Shade believes that he is not yet at the level of the fire-wielding nun.

So, he still could only rely on [Red Dragon Power] and [Frog's Leap] to jump from the shore to the middle of the lake.

"Lady Cherubim."

After standing firm, Shade nodded slightly in greeting. When the lady in white robe looked at him, he coughed and announced:

"I think I have completed your first test and proved my strength, wisdom and charm at the grand wedding dinner in Tobesk."

"Do you have any credentials?"

The soft voice asked.

"Yes."

Xia De had already thought of this and reached for it in his arms:

"Look, this pink silk scarf was thrown to me by the great witch with eleven rings when she acknowledged my power; this handkerchief was thrown by a real princess when she acknowledged my wisdom. and the silk scarf, yes, it was originally tied around the neck of a seventeen-year-old girl. When she recognized my charm, she gave it to me as a gift."

It was fine when I took them with me, but now that I took them out in front of Sister Devlin, I suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Fortunately, Sister Devlin's face was usually expressionless, so Shade didn't have to guess what she was thinking.

The white-robed "Ms. Cherubim" nodded slightly:

"Yes, Shade Hamilton, you successfully passed the first of the four trials."

Xia De had a smile on his face:

"So what is the second test? I can't wait."

"Show me your wisdom and explore the secrets of the past

Why did retired folklore professor Kansas Drake come to me, what price did he pay, and what wishes did he make, living in the old city west of Carsonrick Huntington in the Sixth Age? . ”

As she spoke, ripples appeared on the calm water beneath the three of them. As the scene at the bottom of the clear lake became blurred, a picture of Professor Drake sitting on the sofa, drinking tea and reading a newspaper at home appeared on the water.

He didn't notice at all that there were three "people" watching him, and he still had a happy expression.

"Do I need to answer these three questions?"

"Yes, but what you need to explore is actually just one thing."

The lady in white robe said, and the scene on the water disappeared.

Xia De nodded:

"Yes, I understand, and I will complete this task as soon as possible."

"When you come back to me after completing the second test, please prepare a long sword."

She reminded again, and Shade nodded again and touched the cat in his arms, knowing that the next time he looked for this lake, it would be a new trick.

Little Mia is looking here curiously at this time. Although she hates unfamiliar environments, since Shade is still here, she will not be afraid. The big eyes finally turned to the lady in white robes, and the "Cherubim Lady" saw it too.

"The Lady of the Lake" nodded slightly, and the cat's eyes looked elsewhere. After all, there are a lot of interesting things here.
