Chapter 581 Does It Hurt?

Chapter 581 Does it hurt...does it hurt?

Everyone arrived at the Red Leaf Lake before the sun set.

As Ivan said, the lake was dead silent. The water was dark green and there were dead fish.

The stench made people want to stay away.

Ivan said to Li Yu, "I asked the priests of Epictetus, the god of the forest, to come and see. They told me that this lake was cursed by a very strong natural curse and asked me if I had any enemies.

"I don't know if what they said is true or not. I am not a believer of Epictetus. Maybe it was Epictetus who did it.

"I just came here not long ago. I know how many lords in the Elk Valley see me. To them, I am just an outsider..." Ivan talked a lot, and then looked at Li Yu expectantly, "How about it, Prophet Merlin, can you remove this curse?" "Well, no problem, just do what I said before." Li Yu took a rough look and knew what was going on with the lake. It was obviously due to the rapid reproduction of blue-green algae, which caused the water body to be hypoxic. It caused the death of a large number of animals and plants, which further aggravated the loss of ecological functions and exceeded the lake's own repair ability. Eventually, the stinking lake was formed today. The pungent odor was the smell of organic matter in the lake decaying and decomposing. It is not easy to manage such a stinking lake even in modern times. Fortunately, Li Yu had the [Water Purification Gem] in his hand. This was the first time he used this new equipment, and he also wanted to see its effect. Li Yu reached out a hand to Imel, whose legs were shaking and looked like he was about to cry, and said gently, "Come with me."

However, Imel's feet seemed to have taken root, and she didn't move at all. It wasn't until Ivan coughed that she asked tremblingly, "Does it hurt... hurt?"

"No, you won't feel anything at all." Li Yu said.

Imel was slightly relieved. Although she grabbed Li Yu's hand, she looked like she was going to the execution ground.

Ivan was a little dissatisfied, but Li Yu had already taken Imel to the Red Leaf Lake, so he didn't say anything.

Jude and Duran followed them silently, and together they threw a lamb and seven fish of different colors into the lake.

In order to gather these fish, Garrison spent a lot of time.

And Li Yu found an old tree that was thousands of years old by the lake and engraved the divine pattern of Saturday on it.

Then he said to Imer, "Pray."

"How...how do you pray?" The girl's teeth were chattering, and she stammered.

"Learn to do the movements with me, then lower your head and recite anything you want." Li Yu said.

"Ah?" Imer was stunned. She had never seen such a perfunctory prayer in her life.

But seeing that Li Yu had already stretched out his left hand, she hurriedly followed suit, not daring to ask more questions.

"Very good." Li Yu said, "I will talk now, you listen, don't worry, we are now a distance away from your cousin and his people, he can't hear what we are saying.

"But you don't have to make extra movements or expressions, so as not to arouse his suspicion, remember."

Imer didn't know what Li Yu wanted to do, but he still hummed lightly.

As a result, the next sentence of the prophet of Shuangxiu religion made her stunned.

"Your father is not dead."

"Really? "Imer shuddered, remembering Li Yu's warning, and quickly lowered his head.

"But I heard that my father was killed by the Winged Clan assassin in Crow Square, and the long sword completely pierced his throat... It is impossible for him to survive with such a serious injury."

"For Saturday, nothing is impossible." Li Yu said lightly.

"When you were nine years old, you picked up a kitten named Cheese, but your mother didn't let you take it home. In the end, your father helped you find a flower shop to foster Cheese there.

"And you will go there every few days to see if it is doing well. This is a secret between you and your daughter, right?"

"Is my father really still alive?" The girl said excitedly, "Or do you have the ability to read minds like the priest of Cornelia?"

"Whether I said it is true or false, you will know it naturally as long as you leave with me. Of course, you can also choose to stay here."

"No, please take me and my mother away." Imer said without hesitation, "I don't want to stay here anymore. Uncle Ivan is a terrible person. He drove us out of the castle and used me as a sacrifice."

"Don't be afraid. What I said at the banquet before was all false. I won't use you as a sacrifice."

Perhaps because he had been heartbroken by his uncle, Imer would rather believe the foreigner in front of him.

"But...if you can't purify Red Leaf Lake for Uncle Ivan, he probably won't let us go."

"I can purify Red Leaf Lake, but I don't need your help. I can do it myself."

"Ah!" Imer was overjoyed when he heard that. "I know that the god that the dragon-slaying knight Ilea believes in must also be merciful and just."

"If you don't have anything to ask, let's get started." Li Yu said, and after he finished speaking, he threw a small cloth bag filled with quicklime into the lake.

Then he asked Imer to half-kneel by the lake and put one hand into the lake.

Ivan stood not far away and watched. After a while, he saw changes in the calm lake water, and bubbles came up from below.

Ivan widened his eyes and muttered, "Hey, is there really a water spirit in the Red Leaf Lake?"

Garrison on the side also said, "I heard from the news from the capital that this prophet Merlin is really powerful."

"Do you think he can do it and purify the Red Leaf Lake for us?"

"This... I can't say," Garrison said respectfully, "but if he can't do it, I guess no one can do it."

Ivan thought of the stench that had been permeating the castle in the summer, and his face changed slightly. He really didn't want to experience it again.

For now, he can only pin his hopes on the prophet of the Shuangxiu Church.

Li Yu quickly completed the purification ceremony, and then pulled Imel, who looked a little weak, back.

The latter seemed to be very afraid of Ivan, and said to Ivan, "Uncle, I... I really tried my best."

"What did the water spirit say? Did it agree to lift the curse?" Ivan said anxiously.

"I... I don't know, it didn't say anything."

Ivan couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when he heard it, and he looked at the Red Leaf Lake and didn't feel that the lake in front of him had changed.

But Li Yu said to him, "You can come back in a day, the ritual takes time to take effect."

"Okay then." Ivan reluctantly agreed.
