Chapter 874: Meeting A Celestial
“What… What is that?”
“Could it be… the Lord of Mirror Lake?”
“It is the Lord of Mirror Lake!”
……
The five men were beside themselves when they recognized the strange beast. Legend had it that a god lived in Mirror Lake, and its name was the Lord of Mirror Lake. The Lord of Mirror Lake was said to possess a tiger’s head and a horse’s body. A silver horn was growing out of its head, and its body was covered in scales. Capable of riding the wind and waves and soaring in the sky, it was said to possess infinite power.
There was no doubt about it. The strange beast in the sky had to be the legendary Lord of Mirror Lake.
But of course, they weren’t children. They knew full well that gods did not exist in this world, only Strangers. Naturally, the so-called Lord of Mirror Lake was just a powerful Stranger.
That said, the Lord of Mirror Lake never took a human life despite being a Stranger. It did not stop the humans from harvesting Snow Ginseng from Mirror Lake Peak or procuring water from the Mirror Lake either.
Not only that, the existence of the Lord of Mirror Lake prevented other Strangers from taking root in the mountain. In fact, countless ginseng harvesters had witnessed the Lord of Mirror Lake repelling or exterminating those Strangers who dared to invade its territory. This was why they never had to worry about Stranger threats while climbing Mirror Lake Peak. For a ginseng harvester, the Lord of Mirror Lake was their guardian; their protector god.
