Chapter 88: D31. A Pilgrimage Not Alone_2

"Hehe, I’ll be looking forward to your performance as well, child."

"Ah—"

Before the Hero could continue the conversation, the White-robed Mage cheerfully turned and walked towards the audience seats.

And at this time, under the guidance of the Cruising Bishop and the scolding of the Warrior Guild Leader, the bustling crowd began to form lines to register.

The challenge of the Lake Holy Sword has long been a traditional event at the town’s Fishing Festival,

Though the area of the Lake Holy Sword is managed by the Warrior Guild, as a traditional event, it is open to everyone to participate.

The Six Major Guilds, as part of the town, saw many Professionals engage in the preparation of the Fishing Festival.

Many capable town residents would try their hands at pulling the sword out; it didn’t matter whether they could actually pull it out or not, what was important was the festive spirit.

Mostly, it’s the fishermen and anglers praying for good fortune, believing that contact with the Holy Sword can help them win a greater catch in the fishing competition at noon.

To put it plainly, this was about rubbing off some luck.

Because of this, many people were not trying to pull the sword out for the first time.

Although there were some tourists who came for the fame, they were not the majority, so an orderly queue quickly formed, driven by an unspoken agreement.

"Come on, let’s go~"

At the end of the line, the Hero was helplessly looking at the Little Girl who was tugging at her arm.

"I want to see Sister pull out the sword," the Little Girl pleaded with an innocent look, grasping the Hero’s hands and swaying them left and right.

At this moment, the Little Girl bore no resemblance to the wisdom she displayed when analyzing the Five Major Professional Guilds and was unabashedly coquettish.

"Fine, I’m helpless against you," the Hero tapped the Little Girl’s head, making her giggle.

She originally had no interest in the challenge of the Holy Sword, as the sword those tall and burly warriors couldn’t pull out surely wasn’t something she, who could only use a Short Bow, could manage.

But the White-robed Grandpa, who had sat down in the audience seats, suggested she should give it a try, and the Little Girl really wanted to see it.

Moreover, the busy Warrior Guild didn’t seem to be in a position to entertain people,

Since they were already planning to stay in town to watch the fireworks in the evening, she thought she might as well participate.

After convincing herself, the Hero walked towards the registration booth.

When it was her turn in the queue, she was still contemplating whether she should register as a Beast Spirit Mage.

Although she hadn’t undergone Reincarnation yet, as a more rare Talent Professional, she should be able to register—

"Okay, next."

But before she could speak, Bishop You stamped the document without changing his expression and handed the registration certificate to her.

Thanks to Bishop You bending the rules, the encouragement of the White-robed Mage, and the Little Girl’s strong expectations,

The Hero will participate in the challenge of the Holy Sword.

Since it’s a Critical Success event, she will receive a gift from the Holy Sword whether or not she’s successful.

[Lake Holy Sword LV72]

Towns that prosper due to the resources of a large lake are rare within the Kingdom.

Because in this world where Magic Creatures can be found everywhere, deep beneath the water’s surface often lurks unspeakable horrors.

Only a large city of sufficient scale has the privilege and power to expel the Magic Creatures from the waters and claim the waters for Humankind.

But not only is this lake rich in fishery resources, Magic Creatures are also very rare,

Although not completely non-threatening, the risk is acceptable to fishermen.

Thus, humans began to converge here, settling and passing down through generations.

In order to protect the renewable fishery resources of the lake, under the guidance of knowledgeable individuals, people established periods of fishing and fishing bans.

Why is this lake so special?

Even though people have lived here for a long time and even established Guilds with powerful individuals, they still have not found the answer.

Until one day, on a morning of the Fishing Festival, a child playing by the Lake Shore discovered a sword stuck in the rocks in the receding waters.

The truth is unverifiable, but the legend has been handed down from generation to generation.

This sword in the lake must surely be the protector of this town.

[Lake Town Fishing Festival One-Day Schedule]

[Morning]: Under the influence of the Twin Moons’ gravity, a specific area will experience low tide, revealing the Lake Holy Sword.

During the final preparations for the celebration, the protective Warrior Guild established around the Lake Holy Sword’s location will conduct the activity of challenging the Holy Sword.

[Noon]: As the tide rises and the Holy Sword is submerged, the fishing ceremony begins, including the launch of fishing boats and a fishing competition.

The fishing boat with the largest catch, and the angler who catches the largest fish, will receive rewards from the mayor.

[Evening]: Using the fish caught in the afternoon, a gastronomic festival is held, with different performances every year, sometimes singing and dancing, sometimes magic rituals.

This year the mayor seems to have invited a famous fireworks Mage.

The Hero, feeling out of place, walked to the queue waiting for the sword-pulling, standing out among a group of tall and burly Professionals and attracting many strange glances.

The Dark-light Glimmering Scale Snake at the Hero’s feet immediately switched modes, reflecting a kaleidoscope of dark colors, its cold Snake Eyes staring back at the humans who dared to look down on the Queen.
