So please rest assured.
"I, Merlin, will do my utmost to resolve the issue of Miss Lani and Vivi's soul transfer."
After receiving Merlin's promise.
Arthur's face lit up with joy:
"Then I'll leave it to Mr. Merlin."
"As long as this matter can be resolved, I will definitely pay you a reward that will satisfy you."
Having said that, Arthur stood up and bowed solemnly to Merlin.
Lancelot, who was also thinking of his childhood sweetheart Vivi, stood up and expressed his gratitude through his actions.
"It's alright, Your Excellencies Knights, there's no need for such formality."
Merlin waved to the two of them, then looked at Lani and continued in a serious tone:
"Next, Miss Lani, please follow me to a secret alchemy chamber."
There, there are sophisticated alchemical artifacts capable of examining Vivi's soul state within Miss Lani's body to determine how to perform the soul transfer.
"no problem."
Lani, upon hearing this, gracefully stood up and agreed.
Then, Merlin looked back at Arthur and Lancelot:
"To ensure that the alchemical creation process is not disturbed, I will not invite the two knights to accompany me."
Please rest in the main hall and wait patiently.
Having said that, Merlin also stood up, leaning on his staff, and left the guest table.
Lani didn't say anything and followed Merlin.
As Lani's figure passed by Arthur.
He expressed his concern and gave the following instructions:
"Miss Lani, please be careful."
Lani felt a warmth in her heart, and she smiled gently at Arthur, replying:
"Yes, don't worry, little lion."
soon.
The two turned into a corridor and disappeared into the main hall of the alchemy workshop.
Just as Lani and Merlin disappeared from sight...
A clear, ethereal, unfamiliar female voice rang in their ears:
"The unconscious girl has lost half of her soul essence. Saving her will not be an easy task."
Arthur and Lancelot immediately became alert and turned around, looking towards the end of the guest table in the direction of the sound.
At the far end of the dining table is an open window.
The view outside the window is expansive, like a beautiful painting:
Half of it is a clear and tranquil lake surface.
The shimmering water, like tranquil jade, reflects the inky darkness of the night.
Half of it is a field of flowers in full bloom.
Flowers of all colors bloom brightly, creating a vibrant tapestry even in the darkness.
At the boundary between the two.
You can also see Arthur's mount, Nightshade, Merlin's magical white-haired giant dog Lulu, and two other ordinary horses, all resting quietly by the lake.
When Arthur and Lancelot's gaze returned to the lake...
A noticeable ripple appeared on the lake surface.
Immediately afterwards, that clear, ethereal, unfamiliar female voice rang out again:
“I am Vivian, the Lady of the Lake, and an old friend of the alchemist you were just negotiating with.”
A fairy in the lake?
Upon hearing the name the other party gave, Arthur couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
He also remembered that Merlin had told him and Gawain a legend about the Lady of the Lake.
Legend has it that they are fairies born with powerful magic, the darlings of magic.
To protect a legendary sword called "Sword in the Lake," the Lake Fairy has lived in this lake for generations.
However, Arthur seemed to remember Merlin stating that he did not know the legendary Lady of the Lake.
So, out of curiosity, he asked the other person:
"Miss Vivian, what can I do for you?"
"I'm more interested in you two little ones, especially the 'Son of the Lake God' beside you."
Chapter 121 Lancelot's Trial
Hear this.
Arthur couldn't help but look at Lancelot beside him.
Lancelot raised his right hand, and a blue water droplet mark appeared on the back of his hand.
The water droplet imprint kept flashing, and the things within seemed to be conveying some message to Lancelot.
Soon, Lancelot raised his head and spoke to Arthur:
“Lord Arthur, the third-tier water spirit I subdued told me that the Lady of the Lake has no ill intentions toward us.”
“You two little ones, I suggest you take the unconscious girl’s body to the lake.”
At this moment, the cool, clear voice of Vivian, the lake fairy, rang out again:
"Because her soul has been separated from this body for too long, even when observed using the life force perception of your knight's breathing technique, she still maintains stable life characteristics."
But over time, the physical body will undergo "alienation".
Even if you successfully transfer her soul from another girl's body, you'll likely encounter immense resistance and rejection when trying to transfer it back to her original body.
Arthur frowned upon hearing this.
He did not doubt the other party's statement.
Because after Mr. Lawson and his butler Leon were at a loss with Lani and Vivi's situation, they also said something similar:
"Extraordinary events at the soul level, especially those involving the physical body, must be resolved as soon as possible."
The longer it drags on, the lower the chance of a successful solution will be.
That's why they rushed to the alchemist Merlin's residence, hoping that this alchemist of extraordinary origin could solve their problems.
And now.
The appearance of the legendary lake fairy directly illustrates their predicament.
Therefore, Arthur is seriously considering whether to accept her suggestion to bring Vivi's physical body to the lake.
"Lord Arthur, please trust this Lady Vivian!"
Just as his thoughts were churning, Lancelot spoke to him with certainty:
"It's not just because of the information provided by the third-tier water spirit."
I also have a gut feeling that Miss Vivian means us no harm.
Lancelot's words prompted him to make a decision:
"Okay, let's carry Weiwei's body on our backs."
We'll head to the lake to meet the legendary lake fairy.
After saying that, the two began to act.
Arthur helped Lancelot pick up Vivi and then left Merlin's alchemy workshop hall with him.
They left the alchemy workshop.
Arthur saw that it was dark all around and the night was deep.
He looked up at the sky and saw the crescent moon, like a silver hook, hidden among the drifting clouds, emitting only a faint, holy light.
But this sliver of holy light drew out an extraordinary power within the moon-gazer that shared the same origin as it.
Lv.2 "Blessing of the Moon" activated!
A crescent moon mark appeared on the back of Arthur's left hand, followed by a soft, holy light.
This holy light enveloped Arthur and Lancelot, dispelling the surrounding darkness for them.
"As expected! You little rascal have won the favor of that stupid woman Elune."
At that moment, ripples appeared again on the lake not far from them, followed by the clear, cold voice of the lake fairy Vivian.
Then Arthur made a decision—to meet the legendary Lady of the Lake.
"Elune, the Moon Goddess?"
Arthur had previously dealt with the followers of the Church of the Moon, so he naturally knew the meaning of the name Vivian spoke of.
However, he was curious because, judging from Vivian's tone, she seemed to have a close relationship with the goddess worshipped by the Church of the Moon.
Arthur suppressed his curiosity for the time being and kept it to himself.
Soon, he and Lancelot arrived at the tranquil lakeside with the body of Vivi, a girl who had fallen into a coma due to losing her soul.
His mount, the black-haired horse Nightshade, immediately approached him after sensing his presence.
"Goo~"
Then she lowered her head affectionately and rubbed against him, making a pleasant purring sound.
He could only stroke the mane of this warhorse, which was only so docile in his presence, a few times to give it some emotional support before temporarily driving it away.
Then, he gazed intently into the depths of the tranquil, deep blue lake before him:
“Ms. Vivian, we have brought Vivi’s physical body with us.”
Could you please tell us what would happen if we put her body into the lake?
Upon hearing this, Lancelot, standing beside him, immediately perked up and focused his attention, awaiting the Lake Nymph Vivian's reply.
"Oh, you little rascal."
The Lake Fairy Vivian first let out a soft sigh, then continued in a detached tone:
"I suppose you're so wary because you haven't revealed your true form, which is understandable."
"Please forgive me, Ms. Vivian."
Arthur responded neither humbly nor arrogantly:
"This concerns someone of vital importance to Lancelot, and I cannot afford to be negligent."
"Lord Arthur!"
Lancelot felt a warmth in his heart upon hearing these words.
[With an unwavering chivalrous heart, Lancelot's loyalty has increased to 77 (deep identification).]
"You little fellow, you do seem to have a bit more chivalry than the higher-ranking human knights I've ever met."
Vivian, the Lady of the Lake, also praised Arthur's performance:
"No wonder he has earned the loyalty of the 'Son of the Lake God.'"
After the praise.
In response to the question Arthur had just raised, she gently and persuasively asked him in return:
"Do you remember the last time you visited that lyrical child of a nightmare?"
