420. The fairy in the lake
Hevin wiped his lips.
The man's clothes were in a mess, and there was no trace of the sword blade. Only the green stains on the corners of his mouth and body hinted at what had just happened.
Coming to the underworld still affected him.
Although he has never had any duties related to death, this place is filled with too many elements related to the past.
He hadn't been as unscrupulous as he was today for a long time.
Let animality and madness dominate your soul.
Hevin came to the swamp.
The so-called test is used to entertain mortals.
And he is generally not used to taking the path prepared by others.
After all, he can fly.
But today Hevin still chose to take a boat.
After all, he was still a visiting guest, so he shouldn't get into a fight as soon as he arrived. Maybe the person waiting for him inside was not Vortigern, but Morgan Le Fay.
But she's not a good person either.
The wooden boat was parked more than fifty meters away from the swamp shore.
The first test for mortals is how to get to the boat. If they want to go directly, they will be dragged down and eaten by the lake banshee hiding in the swamp.
Hevin planned to fly to the ship.
The Banshee of the Lake hides in the swamp, staring at the man suspended on the shore of the swamp with greedy and hungry eyes.
He thought that he could avoid them by flying, which was really a naive idea.
The banshees stretched out their membrane wings on their backs, ready to rush out of the swamp at any time and tear Hevin into pieces of flesh while he was flying in the air.
Hevin disappeared.
The succubus looked around blankly.
Hewen propped up the oars and began to row the boat in the swamp.
The swamp is covered with sphagnum-like moss, and several ducks are floating on the water in the distance. Near the shallow water there are trees so deformed that they cannot be identified as specific types, and birds settle on them.
But the most numerous ones are the stark white bones.
Countless biological corpses filled the entire swamp. At least three corpses could be seen within a five-meter radius. And unlike other swamps, all the corpses in this place only had bones left.
All flesh and blood has been picked clean, even the scavengers and microbial communities are at their mercy against the banshee in the lake.
The boat moved forward slowly in the swamp, and none of the surrounding animals showed any surprise or fear at its movement.
When the boat slowly approached the center of the swamp.
A small whirlpool appeared in front of the boat.
Then a beautiful woman with a tall and straight body without any cover, perfectly showing her natural curves and six fairy-like membrane wings on her back slowly emerged.
The fairy in the lake spoke:
"Dead man, why did you come here?"
Hewen said:
"I'm here for one person."
The Banshee of the Lake said:
"Is it for pursuit? I'm curious, what is the value of the person you are pursuing to you?"
Hewen said:
"The one I'm looking for? He and I have a very complicated relationship. We agree with each other in some areas, but we are opposed to each other in camps. But I have to come to him because I have something very important to think about.
Ask him."
The fairy in the lake flapped her wings and flew up to him:
"You are not a righteous person."
Hewen nodded:
"I'm a bad person."
The fairy in the lake bent down, held up a full amount of dark green liquid with both palms, and blew into her palms.
The swamp liquid, filled with turbid matter and plankton, turned into clear water.
The fairy stretched out her hand in front of Hewen and asked him to look at the palm of her hand.
Hevin lowered his head.
The fight between himself and the Green Knight was reflected in the water.
The Lake Fairy said:
"It's too unsightly to look at. It's just a beast. I've never seen such an inelegant way of eating in my life. What on earth are you? Bloody, brutal, crazy, depraved, evil. Avalon is a welcome knight.
Utopia.
"In my opinion, not only are you not a knight, you are more like a monster, a dragon that stole the princess, a werewolf that howls at night. You are the enemy that the knight has to deal with.
"Why do you think I let you in, just because you can tear the Green Knight apart fast enough?"
The scene among the cacti in the lake changes again.
Back to that small town.
Anne's body was hung outside the town.
And now the town has a new ruler...
The maid in Sirens put on a robe dyed pure red with blood, and there were several bloody marks on her face.
Hevin recognized the symbol.
An ancient tribal wizard's incantation, and these symbols have some characteristics, that is, the drawing itself does not need to consume magic power, only the blood with magic power is enough, and once the painting is completed, the recipient only needs to drink the magic power contained in it.
The blood of magic power will slowly gain magic power.
The Earl of Sirens was not what he said, he was the only one who knew how to protect the town from the gray fog.
He had already anticipated the day he would die and passed on his witchcraft to a woman around him.
Maybe she wasn't Sirens' maid either.
The Banshee of the Lake redirects the scene to Annie.
There were shallow knife marks all over her body, and her flesh and blood protruded from her skin. It was obvious that she had suffered very painful torture before her death.
The Lake Fairy said:
"You failed to save her."
Hewen nodded:
"I am neither a hero nor a savior."
The Lady of the Lake:
"You are not a knight either."
Hevin agreed:
"I'm not a good person."
The fairy in the lake touched her chin:
"This is difficult, because if you are not a good person, I will probably kill you here, unless...
"Can you give a reasonable explanation why you left directly, why you didn't intend to take action, but then suddenly turned around and finally killed Sirens.
"Maybe after you leave, Sirens won't do anything to the girl, or you can just eliminate the root cause and protect the girl."
Hewen asked:
"Eradicate the roots? Do you mean to let the whole town bury the child with him?
"My explanation is very simple, that is, I should stay, kill the guilty ones, imprison those who are not guilty enough to die, let everyone do what they should do, and only do what they should do, and lead everyone to survive
, build a happy, warm and harmonious home in this place.
"But it's not what I would do, it's what the Green Knight would do."
The fairy in the lake asked curiously:
"Who is your Green Knight? A long-haired female knight?"
Hewen said:
"It's Arthur Pendragon."
The white body of the fairy in the lake trembled slightly:
"Who are you talking about? Why are you afraid of Arthur?"
Hewen lied:
"Why, the reason is very simple, because she and I are not in the same camp."
Hewen turned his head and looked at the other side of the swamp:
