Chapter 221 [Holy Relic]

The countess seemed genuinely frightened.

The girl almost hugged Chen Xiaolian and didn't let go, crying hoarsely and breaking her liver and intestines, at this moment, it was like a person who fell into the water grabbed a life-saving straw.

Chen Xiaolian did not struggle, nor did he push the girl away, but frowned, sighed, and let the countess wipe tears and snot on his sleeve.

After crying for a while, the countess gradually lost her strength and gradually calmed down.

"We'd better get out of here quickly. Chen Xiaolian glanced at her.

The countess did not speak. Even though she was very shrewd, after all, she was only a young girl who had just passed twenty years old, and this bloody and shocking scene was enough to shatter the reason and the city in her heart.

"Get in the car. ”

Chen Xiaolian pulled her to stand up and walked to the side of the road with her arms.

The tire took the initiative to act as the driver, Chen Xiaolian helped the spare tire and the countess into the back of the car, he was about to close the door, and sat in the front passenger seat, but suddenly felt his sleeves tightened.

When he looked down, he saw a slender hand clasping his wrist.

The countess looked at Chen Xiaolian with frightened eyes.

Chen Xiaolian sighed, got into the back of the car, and sat beside her.

"We had to find a safe place. The tire exhaled: "Where to go?"

Chen Xiaolian hesitated, but he remembered the suburban warehouse where he was with Phoenix and them before, although that place collapsed, but the place was hidden enough.

But......

"I know there's a place. The countess sobbed and said in a trembling voice, "I...... I have a private studio not too far from here, which is very remote. And...... It's not an industry in my name, and not many people know about it. ”

Chen Xiaolian immediately made a decision: "Okay, just go there!"

......

The studio is actually a very large house, and it even looks like a small castle.

The place is located behind a hillside and is built against the mountain. There is also a river not far away, and here it turns a bend, and it happens to be a depression, forming a lake that is not very large.

Judging from the scenery, it is quite picturesque.

It's just that at a time like this, several people are not in the mood to enjoy this kind of scenery.

This is an ancient building built of pure stone, and Chen Xiaolian can see that this small castle is quite Normandy-style, that is, the standard thick stone walls and small windows.

It's obviously a bit deserted.

The outer clearing is overgrown with weeds. The castle is not alone. There is a row of stables on the back side near the lake...... It's already very broken, though.

The gate of the castle was locked, but Chen Xiaolian, under the guidance of the countess, quickly found an iron chain from under a pile of grass, and after pulling it out, he opened the gate of the castle.

"There's a back door that can be accessed with a key. Usually no one comes here, but every once in a while someone comes to clean and clean up. The countess explained.

"Aren't you afraid of thieves?" Chen Xiaolian looked at the desolate and secluded environment around him.

"This is England. The countess shook her head: "The private rights of private lands are very important. And...... There's nothing to steal here, it's always empty. ”

The first floor of the castle is empty. After entering the door, there is an arched stone pillar door, and there seem to be some traces of black rust on the wall.

The ground is fairly clean. There is not a lot of dust, and it can be seen that it has not been cleaned up for a long time.

The small windows are not glassed, but are made of the oldest wooden planks...... If you want to open the window, you have to use a bracket to open the plank.

It can be seen that these wooden windows are new, and the paint on them is obviously no more than half a year.

"There is a lounge at the back. Inside there is a simple kitchen to boil water. There are some simple utensils. There is also a well in the back. ”

Chen Xiaolian was not interested in drinking well water, but fortunately, there were still a lot of mineral water in the storage watch, so he took out a few bottles and distributed them to everyone.

Tire glanced at him and stood up: "I'll go to the back and see if there's anything that works." ”

The spare tire sits in a clean place. Chen Xiaolian laid a blanket on the ground, and he rested against the wall.

"We ...... Need to talk, can you?"

The countess approached Chen Xiaolian and whispered.

In fact, she has been consciously staying by Chen Xiaolian's side all the way and has not gone far, she seems to be very scared, and believes that Chen Xiaolian can protect herself.

"Well, let's talk about it. Chen Xiaolian pointed to the steps on the ground: "Sit down and say." ”

After the countess sat down, she unscrewed the mineral water and took a sip.

Her body trembled slightly.

"Those people...... It's coming at me, right? I mean this attack. ”

The countess's face was as pale as paper.

“...... It should be. Chen Xiaolian nodded.

He already had some judgment in his mind.

This London copy is not a competitive copy.

So...... There seems to be no reason for other teams to ambush here specifically to deal with their own team.

Doesn't make sense in terms of motivation.

As for personal vendettas...... The man in black who was fighting him didn't seem to know who he was at first.

It is also possible to rule out personal grudges.

So...... The other party's target is naturally this countess!

"They...... Why are you coming at me?" asked the countess, biting her lip.

"I'm afraid I can't answer that question. Chen Xiaolian shook his head, and his tone was very calm: "I don't know the answer, and besides, I don't know the other party." ”

"They...... What do you want from me? Will it ...... And the same purpose as you? for that sword?"

Chen Xiaolian's heart moved.

This seems likely......

No, it's very possible!

Attacking the Countess in order to get quest items seems to make sense.

Don't...... Are there other teams that have received random tasks that are also looking for the sword in the stone?

No, to be precise, to find the blade of the sword in the stone?

Thinking of this, Chen Xiaolian's heart sank, and he turned around and faced the countess head-on.

"I think. After what has just happened, our attitudes towards each other must have changed - I must say that the present situation no longer allows us to continue to test or go around in circles. Do you understand?" Chen Xiaolian said slowly in a deep voice: "I must now clearly know whether the blade of the sword in the stone is in your hand or not?" Where are you hiding this thing?"

"You want me to give you this thing?" the countess bravely met Chen Xiaolian's gaze: "And then? You will leave when you get something? Then what should I do? These people are going to kill me!! They have already killed Stewart!!"

"You can ......"

Chen Xiaolian seemed to want to say: You can call the police.

But this kind of talk is too shameless, Chen Xiaolian can't even say it himself.

Alarm?

Call the police against those powerful awakened people or players?

Isn't that a joke?

Obviously, this smart girl understands this too!

So along the way, she didn't even mention the words to call the police.

She seemed to know very well that this kind of terrorist attack could not be solved by calling the police.

Alone in London...... Even if it's in the suburbs, attack with RPGs, and have that terrifying magical ability.

This kind of enemy is by no means something that ordinary police officers can deal with.

Alarm?

Are you kidding!

Only this young man in front of him. Seems to have the ability to deal with those people!!

"My family does own the thing you asked. ”

The countess seems to have made a decision in her heart!

With soft words, she said the answer that Chen Xiaolian hoped for.

"From my ancestor, William the Conqueror, that sword was in my family.

Of course, I didn't know where this sword came from. I don't know if it was my ancestor who got the sword in the stone...... Or is he himself the prototype of King Arthur at all. In short, this thing is indeed in the hands of our family.

But save zài in our hands. It's not a complete sword in the stone, but a ...... A broken sword. ”

The countess spoke softly. Chen Xiaolian listened quietly and did not interrupt her. The spare tire not far away also sat up straight, listening with his ears pricked up.

"It is indeed the legendary sword in the stone, the sword of the king.

It seems that it represents a symbol of royal power. But the sword was broken in our family's hands, and we never found the other half. In fact, the ancestors of the family. It is said that they once spent a great deal of energy searching for the hilts of their swords, trying to merge them into one. But it's a pity ......"

Hearing this, Chen Xiaolian nodded: "You didn't find it." ”

"Yes, if found...... Maybe the Norman dynasty wouldn't have ended so quickly. ”

"Ha!" Chen Xiaolian smiled: "If the Norman Dynasty hadn't ended, then your current status should be the queen." Should I call you Her Majesty?"

After a pause, Chen Xiaolian frowned: "Have you ever thought about it...... Maybe the hilt of the sword was acquired by other families, so ...... Your Norman dynasty will come to an end and be replaced by other families. ”

"Because the king's sword in everyone's hands is incomplete, so each dynasty will end in only one or two hundred years?"

After a pause, she said softly, "I'm getting more and more sure of one thing now...... How desperately you are looking for the blade of the sword, then it means that the hilt of the sword is in your hand!"

Chen Xiaolian shrugged his shoulders.

"Could those guys also come for the sword in the stone?" asked the countess.

"I'm not sure. Chen Xiaolian thought for a while: "There is such a possibility." ”

Speaking of this, Chen Xiaolian's heart suddenly moved, and he suddenly remembered another possibility!

......

According to the legend of King Arthur, the holy relics mentioned in this legend are not only the sword in the stone!!

And a few other things!

Like what...... Sword of the Victory Pact!

This sword is the real sharp fighting weapon! After King Arthur's sword in the stone was broken, he got a new sword, the Sword of the Victory Contract! Legend has it that this sword was given to King Arthur by the fairy of the lake, symbolizing indestructible strength!

From the perspective of combat effectiveness, the Sword of the Victory Contract is much better than the Sword in the Stone!

In addition, there are some holy relics that are also mentioned in this legend.

Like what......

Grail!!

Like what......

Holy Spear!!

......

The Holy Grail and the Holy Grail, these two legendary relics are actually linked.

In Western legends, it can be said that it is full of magical colors.

Of course, the legend of the Holy Grail is fabricated in The Da Vinci Code as a woman, the wife of Jesus. This is, of course, a legend.

But, for now, the most orthodox legend in the West, the description of the Holy Grail and the Holy Lance, goes like this:

During Jesus' last night, before Judas betrayed Jesus, Jesus and his disciples had a wine cup to drink, bright red wine, symbolizing the blood of Jesus.

And when Jesus was crucified by the Romans, in order to determine whether Jesus was really dead, the Romans asked people to stab the corpse with a spear.

And no soldier dared to do that at that time.

So a centurion named Roncinus was put out - this guy was obviously the one who took the blame, for he was the unluckiest of all, he was a blind man who was nearly blind.

At the instigation of others, he plunged his spear into Jesus' corpse, causing blood to come out of Jesus' body.

And the spear in the hand of Roncinus, because it was stained with the blood of Jesus, became a holy spear. Also known as the Spear of Roncinus, or the Spear of Fate.

At the same time, a guy named Joseph brought the cup that Jesus had used and took the blood that Jesus had shed.

And this cup is considered by legend to be the Holy Grail.

Legend has it that the Holy Grail once contained the blood of Jesus, so the Holy Grail has magical powers, and drinking holy water with the Holy Grail can achieve immortality.

The Holy Spear, also known as the Spear of Roncinus, is even more miraculous, this spear has the magical power to heal wounds, and legend has it that Roncinus, who stabbed Jesus with a spear, was stained with Jesus' blood, and his blind eyes were restored.

Moreover, the spear of Longcinus, because it was stained with the blood of Jesus, also has a miraculous power: holding this holy spear in your hand can make anyone within 120 feet surrender and worship!

These two things are naturally among the ranks of the legendary relics.

And it's ......

These things are also mentioned in the legend of King Arthur.

It is said that Joseph, who was holding the Holy Grail, buried the body of Jesus, and then he took the Holy Grail and finally ran away to settle in ancient England, and finally the Holy Grail was lost to the people of England.

And King Arthur, after hearing about the legend of the Holy Grail, sent his Knights of the Round Table to find the Holy Grail.

Among them, the most powerful big slut, Lancelot, also went out to find the Holy Grail.

But because his heart is not pure (it seems that God still has eyes), he found the Holy Grail, but he could not take it and bring it back.

Eventually, Lancelot's nephew, who was also a Knight of the Round Table and a man of pure heart, found the Holy Grail and brought it back.

Unfortunately, after the death of this Knight of the Round Table, the Holy Grail is said to have been taken back to heaven by the angels......

According to legend, the claim of reclaiming heaven may be false.

So......

Since the sword in the stone is in the hands of the Norman family.

So...... Will the Holy Grail ...... Also in the hands of the Normans?

Chen Xiaolian thought of this, his eyes flashed, and he turned his head to look at the countess!

......

(Sorry, the idea is a bit knotted today, so that's all there is to it for these 4,000 words......

I'll think about the plot later)

......

............ (To be continued......)
