Fog City, outside the city, Sir Pukins Manor.
In the knight institution, in front of the huge round table, everyone sat around. They were all the heads of the knight institutions from various places. At this time, in front of them, there was an identical box.
This place is tightly guarded because, just outside the door of the round table meeting room, all the current twelve round tables are guarding here, except for Lancelot who has been hijacked, and there are nearly 30 great knights, And hundreds of elite knights.
"let's start."
Sir Pukins said softly, first opened the box in front of him, and took out a green gem the size of a pebble from it.
At the same time, the heads of knight agencies in various places also took out the same thing from the box in front of them at almost the same time.
After that, Sir Pukins unscrewed the carving on the cane, and then inserted it into a small indentation in the table in front of him... and turned.
The sound of gears turning was heard, and the floor of the round table center was opened at this time, and a statue of a king holding a sword was slowly getting up from under the floor.
On the blade of the stone sword held by the statue, there are circular grooves one by one, corresponding to the gemstones held by each person in charge.
When the gemstones seemed to be pulled by something, they flew out of their hands automatically, and then embedded in the groove of the stone sword, everyone held their breath and watched this scene carefully.
"Although I have always known of its existence, I have never really seen it since I took over... I never thought that I would actually be able to see its appearance in my lifetime."
It was an old man who was much older than Sir Pukins who spoke. His eyes were blurred, his eyes were unblinking, and he was staring at every moment of change on the statue.
Click!
Suddenly, a light sound startled everyone, and the statue of the king, starting from the head, split open automatically and scattered in all directions... like petals in full bloom, what was finally revealed was a small stone.
And among the stones was a simple stone cup.
"This... is this the legendary Holy Grail?"
Everyone who never thought that the Holy Grail would look like this suddenly felt an indescribable disappointment. Maybe in their imagination, the Holy Grail should be more precious, maybe it doesn't need to be too gorgeous, at least it should make people feel It is the place where you can feel its extraordinary at a glance.
But this silence only lasted for a few seconds. After a few seconds, the holy grail on the stone platform suddenly trembled, and a large number of cracks even appeared on its body.
Chi Chi, Chi Chi!
After a violent tremor, it completely shattered, and a dazzling golden light filled every part of the room in an instant, making them unable to open their eyes.
After the real line of sight had adapted, they looked again in amazement, and it was hard to hide the excitement in their hearts after that. The real Holy Grail was in front of them.
It seems to have infinite magic power, even if they take a look at it, their souls seem to be drawn, and the scene of heaven appears in front of their eyes.
Peace, happiness, satisfaction... The feeling that human beings should bring comes quickly, filling their hearts in an instant... A strange but obsessive satisfied smile appeared on their faces involuntarily.
cluck!
The sound of knocking suddenly sounded at this time, and everyone was shocked this time, and they all came to their senses, only to find that it was Sir Pukins hitting the table with his cane.
"Everyone, please keep quiet." Sir Pukins said slowly as if he didn't see the scene of everyone losing their composure.
Everyone let out a sigh of relief.
"The grape cup in the last supper, according to legend, even once contained the blood of the Holy Son... a magic cup that can grant any wish." The old man muttered to himself at the moment.
"Everyone, this is not the Holy Grail in the Bible, but something made in that sinful place a hundred years ago. It only has the name of the Holy Grail, but it is by no means a holy thing." An old woman frowned at this time, "It is written very clearly in the literature that a sacrifice is required to activate it!"
Talking about the sacrifice made the willpower a little weaker. At this time, the other head of the knight organization, who was still obsessed with the cup on the stone platform, broke out in a cold sweat as if he had just woken up from a dream.
"So. Pukins, the [Holy Grail] has been taken out, what are you going to do with the most critical part... the sacrificial offering?"
Facing the eyes of everyone, Sir Pukins took a deep breath, and said slowly: "It needs to devour the soul to activate it. Of course it is impossible to use the soul of a living person, so this time I plan to use something else. "
"Well... Actually, it is better to use death row prisoners as sacrifices, but unfortunately the death penalty has been abolished now." Someone suggested: "Maybe we can try to use those super criminals. Anyway, our relationship with the Magicians Association is a bit stiff now. Originally Those wanted criminals who are going to be handed over to them may be unnecessary."
Sir Pukins shook his head, "After the criminals were arrested, they have already notified the Association of Magicians at the same time. If they can't get it out at this time, it will inevitably arouse their suspicion... Even if it is because of the country's problems, we have a hundred years ago. They were also allies once, there is no need to really bring the relationship to a freezing point."
"Then what are you going to do? Do you have any good sacrifices? Do you plan to use the heroic souls of the Hall of Valor?!"
Sir Pukins waved his hand to make people calm down, "Perhaps it was God's will, just before the crisis of the 'Doomsday Myth' was launched, the Knights in the Fog City happened to smash a criminal group that smuggled orcs... At present, this A bunch of orcs are here."
"Orcs... Orcs?" Someone murmured.
"Since they are orc slaves who have been captured and sold, it is also possible for those slave traders not to dare to capture a few ruthless patrons among the orcs..." Some people were moved.
"That's how it is, I didn't see it." This one was even more direct.
"Okay, Pukins, even if you choose the sacrifice, you can't do it blatantly..." The old man pondered: "Especially not in front of the twelve knights, it will shake their knight faith .”
"Don't worry, I've taken care of it." Sir Pukins was expressionless, but tapped the table again with his cane.
I saw the wall on one side of the round table conference room, slowly moved away at this time, and saw a knight with a cold face, blood on his body, and a blood-dripping sword in his hand, walking in slowly.
The strong smell of blood made everyone frown for an instant, and the moment they met the cold-eyed knight, they couldn't help but feel a chill.
"This is the great knight Simpton." Sir Pukins said indifferently: "I have already let him deal with it in advance... What he is holding in his hand is the magic sword [Hegney]. The souls of those orcs have already Stored in this magic sword."
"Simpton? Is that him, the kid..."
The people in charge began to re-examine the gloomy man in front of them, and some information about Simpton also began to emerge in their minds.
Many years ago, there appeared a violent orc... The ferocity of this orc once caused headaches for the knight organization and even the entire magicians association.
In the end the orc was rounded up and killed. However, when the troops at that time found the stronghold of the violent orcs, they also rescued many innocent humans... most of them were women.
What shocked the army even more was that these women gave birth to children because of the rape/violence of this violent orc... and these children were used for various experiments.
Even if they were rescued later, these children were basically broken... Among them, there seemed to be only one child who was conscious.
Later, the child was brought up by the knight organization, and eventually became a great knight...
…
As if he didn't see the eyes of these responsible persons, the Simpton knight lowered his head slightly at this time.
Pukins also acted as if everyone's surprised gazes were gone, and said slowly: "Okay, Knight Simpton, I will give you the honor of activating the [Holy Grail], are you ready?"
"yes, my-lord."
The Great Knight Simpton raised his sword in salute, and then walked step by step to the stage where the [Holy Grail] was placed, and put the tip of the magic sword in his hand on the mouth of the [Holy Grail]... I saw blood began to flow from the blade of the [Holy Grail]. It gushes up, and then drips into the [Holy Grail].
"The power activated by the [Holy Grail] will increase according to the number of sacrifices." Sir Pukins said seriously: "There are forty-three orc souls here, and it is impossible for the [Holy Grail] to directly solve this crisis. of."
"What are you going to do, Pukins?"
"The root of this riot is the organization 'Doomsday Myth'." Pukins said directly: "We need all the information of this organization, including the list of personnel, location... Only by fundamentally eradicating it can we avoid future occurrences of this kind sort of thing."
Drops of blood dripped from the magic sword, and when the cup was almost half full... [Holy Grail] once again burst into dazzling brilliance.
At the same time, an ancient sheepskin scroll gradually appeared in front of Sir Pukins...
…
Pay/pay the bustard to the account, 5 million yuan.
Of course, such a prompt sound is impossible to appear, what appears is just some kind of prompt similar to this format.
The approximate content is:
You have an ordinary soul in the account, the amount +: 43.
In Boss Luo's mind, he once again heard the luoli sound of the altar that he made up in his brain.
"Why did I suddenly have a feeling of finding a hundred yuan in the pocket of a piece of clothes that I haven't worn for a long time when I was cleaning up the room..."
"Master?" The maid, who didn't understand what the master said suddenly, tilted her head slightly, her hair hanging down.
"Ah... don't move, this posture is good."
Boss Luo, who wrote a motto for himself, decided to do a lot of things, and at the same time avoid himself being trapped in endless transactions, so he refrained from doing the time-killing activity of [observation] all the time. .
In the room, the maid is starting the famous photography activity with her master.
It's been a long night after all.
…
…
Without a mobile phone or even a clock, in the dark stone room, the only thing that could tell the time was the human body's perception ability... The queen felt a little tired.
It should have exceeded her usual time to fall asleep.
Lancelot didn't lie down anymore. When the queen's palm was released from her eyes, she had recovered a bit of energy, and used the fastest time to eat the food sent by Caesar to replenish her strength.
It seems to be a different person, but it seems to be the same again. Her Majesty smiled and looked at Lancelot's actions at this time.
"Is this useful?" Her Majesty the Queen couldn't help asking curiously.
Lancelot, who was holding the chains of the shackles in his hand, began to grind on the floor of the stone room, and a lot of stone powder had been ground out.
Lancelot said seriously at this time: "This kind of shackles was developed by the Association of Magicians, and it is specially used to confine extraordinary power. It is made of a special alchemy mineral called Hammite... But now it is basically In fact, there are still many such props left in the knight institution... Although it is very convenient for confining extraordinary power, it is actually not strong. There have been prisoners who broke the chain in this way .”
"So..." Her Majesty the Queen nodded with satisfaction, "In your opinion, how long will it take to break it?"
Lancelot shook his head, "It's hard to say. At that time, it seemed that the prisoner spent more than half a month to wear it out. However, it is better to have a method than nothing, and we can't wait for rescue. Your Majesty, Could you please pay attention to the outside? If anyone is going to come in, I want to stop such behavior."
"Alright kid, I'll help you look after it, believe me I can do it." The queen still smiled gratifiedly.
only.
For half a month... Her Majesty the Queen couldn't help but smile bitterly in her heart. She didn't tell Lancelot that Caesar would execute her plan before sunrise.
Her Majesty the Queen did not intend to deny Lancelot's efforts at this time, but walked slowly to the door, pretending to listen carefully to the voices outside.
"Oh... It seems that someone is really coming." Her Majesty the Queen hurriedly turned around at this moment.
Lancelot quickly lay down on the ground, covering the ground stone powder, and at the same time gathered the chains, turning his body sideways.
When the door opened, Her Majesty stepped back a few steps, also blocking Lancelot.
"What are you doing?"
The people who came in were Judas and Catherine... Catherine looked at Her Majesty suspiciously at this time.
Her Majesty the Queen was not salty at this time, with the anger and cynicism of the imprisoned, "Gentlemen, ladies. Don't you know that this kind of cold place can easily make me sick? If I don't If I stand up and move around for a while, I will probably get cold... I ask you to improve my treatment."
Judas frowned, obviously he hated this so-called aristocratic manner very much, "Then I hope you have enough exercise, otherwise, it will be colder at night."
"You disrespectful people!" Her Majesty the Queen immediately reprimanded.
Catherine just sneered, but ignored it. Instead, she glanced at Lancelot on the ground, "This guy, hasn't he woke up yet?"
"What did you do to her!" Her Majesty continued to scold her angrily.
"Let me see if he's dead." Catherine sneered, and was about to walk past the queen.
Unexpectedly, Her Majesty frowned at this moment to stop her, and continued to reprimand: "You have made her like this, are you still planning to hurt her? As the Queen of Great Britain, I request you to stop this rude behavior immediately!"
"Damn old lady." Catherine snorted softly.
"Forget it." Judas said indifferently: "Caesar just let us take a look, there is no need to argue with her... Well, Your Majesty, if you feel cold, I will send you a blanket later .”
"I also asked for a pot of hot tea, and it would be best to bring an extra serving of fresh milk. I need fresh milk so that An Min can fall asleep!"
"Do you think this is a hotel? Dead old woman!! Maybe you still don't know your situation?"
Are women really easy to embarrass women? Judas shook his head, stretched out his hand to hold Catherine, and pulled it outside, "Okay, I don't have milk, but I can bring you some hot water... It's nothing, so just stay here."
After the door was closed, Her Majesty the Queen let out a slow breath.
She leaned against the door and listened for a while, before she said: "Okay, they should have gone far... Son, am I right, I can do well."
Only then did Lancelot sit up, and glanced at Her Majesty the Queen gratefully... before blocking himself.
"Can you hear something?" Her Majesty suddenly frowned at this moment.
Lancelot was startled, and listened intently, only to hear what seemed to be a ringing sound coming from outside... The air also seemed to tremble slightly.
…
A huge fighter plane is slowly descending from the night sky at this time.
