章 68: In the Lake

This was a lake hidden in a dense forest. The surface of the lake was bright and calm like a mirror, surrounded by tall and vigorous trees. The scenery was pleasant.

Hoo hoo!

At this moment, a gentle breeze blew over.

The surface of the lake rippled, and as the sun shone, the waves sparkled, as if countless gold had been deposited in the lake.

Along with the wind, pious prayers were heard:

"O great goddess of the lake, you are the master of the forest and the mother of the earth. Everyone knows of your benevolence. Please open your eyes and look at your servant, Griffin. Please bless him and bring him a glimmer of light in his dark life, so that this family can regain its former glory."

It was a middle-aged man standing by the lake. He was wearing a pleated green jacket and gray-black stockings. Every wrinkle on his jacket could be seen to have been carefully tidied up, but the color of his clothes was a little faded.
