Chapter 2007: Battle Trials in the Dawn (42)

Albert was reluctant to trust King Arthur at first.

But he knew that Bediwell was watching. With the werewolf youth here, King Arthur at least won't hurt him Albert, right?

King Arthur had already gone ahead of him, walking along the path of the golden apple grove and motioning for the others to follow. Albert then followed, with Bediwell's help, towards an uncharted part of the Avalonian Pure Lands.

"Before I say that, I want to know how well you know about the Holy Spirit and the Avalonian Pure Land. If too little is known, the conversation cannot continue, and the level of intelligence is not equal. The knight king said, "Tell me first, what do you know?"

"All I know is that this Avalonian Pure Land is a place where the Holy Spirit is made and imprisoned. Bediwell said, "The Knights of the Round Table are qualified to summon the Holy Spirit, but the summoned Holy Spirit will stay in this Avalonian Pure Land, waiting to be summoned. When it is necessary to use the Holy Spirit, they will be summoned from this place by the Knights of the Round Table to fight. Right?"

King Arthur nodded: "Your understanding is basically right. ＂

"So the Holy Spirit only exists in the Avalonian Pure Land, but I seem to have seen the Holy Spirit in other places------" Albert asked curiously.

"About that...... King Arthur slowed down and looked thoughtfully at the sky beyond the apple grove: "Indeed, there are spirits elsewhere. If all kinds of [evil spirits] in nature are also spirits, there are still many spirits hidden in all corners of this world. Even if they are not [evil spirits], but holy things like [the Holy Spirit], they will strictly be officially classified as [evil spirits] and will not be recognized as [the Holy Spirit].

The Holy Spirit here refers specifically to those spirits that arise from the will of the Knights of the Round Table for the purpose of [fighting].

＂

"...... fighting?"

"You should know that. The Knight King turned his head to look at the werewolf youth and the tiger youth: "[The Holy Spirit] was created to fight against [Boundless Darkness]. Without the threat of darkness, there is no need for the Holy Spirit to be created at all. Great Britain hired the [Knights of the Round Table] to fight the [Darkness] and win the battle. This has not changed since ancient times.

No matter how weak the attack power of the Holy Spirit is, since it is created for battle, they must have special attack methods, have combat effectiveness, and will attack the target after meeting certain conditions. There is such a definite difference between the artificially created Spirit and the naturally occurring spirits. ＂

"It's as if spirits in nature don't attack people...... Albert whispered.

King Arthur then laughed: "Huhu, you have always encountered the kind of spirits that attack people, not because they are all so brutal, but because you have always been too unlucky. ＂

Bediville was silent. Actually, it's not because Beddyville they are [too unlucky], King Arthur just avoided the important and didn't elaborate.

Spirits all have the property of attracting each other, and they often encountered spirits on their adventures before, especially various aggressive evil spirits, because Bedeville was hiding the White Diamond of the Holy Spirit from the [Forest Cabin]. In short, the ferocious spirits are attracted to the [Holy Spirit ---- the cabin in the woods].

After Bediwell surrendered the White Diamond of the Holy Spirit from the [Forest Hut] after participating in the Trial of the Round Table, the frequency of attacks by evil spirits has decreased greatly recently.

"And because [the Holy Spirit] was born to fight [darkness], they are nevertheless aggressive spirits, even if they come from good intentions.

And the Holy Spirits, as spirit beings, have existed for far longer than their makers. Even if the Knights of the Round Table, who created the Holy Spirit, grow old and die and no longer exist, their Holy Spirit will always exist in this Avalonian Pure Land.

It is precisely because they are aggressive spirits with extremely long life cycles that they need to be managed centrally. This Avalonian Pure Land is the place where the Holy Spirit dwells, not only so that the Holy Spirit has a place to dwell, but also to restrict their freedom of movement, so that these potentially offensive dangers will not be released into nature and affect the balance of this world.

＂

"I can understand that. Bediwell nodded. The occasional encounter with an evil spirit on the way of adventure is already extremely terrifying. Imagine that thousands of Holy Spirits who inhabit the Pure Land of Avalon have been released into the natural world and run rampant throughout the world...... What will it look like?

"Let's talk about [the Avalonian Pure Land] first. King Arthur shifted: "Let's talk about [Knights of the Round Table].

As we all know, the current [Knights of the Round Table] are special personnel selected by the [Trial of the Round Table] held in Great Britain. Whoever holds the status of a [Knight of the Round Table] will be loved by the whole world, and will gain both fame and fortune. But at the end of the day, the [Knights of the Round Table] are just summoners and users of the Holy Spirit.

Great Britain passed the special test of the [Round Table Trial] to promote the mentality of the candidates to win. In the midst of the arduous trials, the hearts of the candidates will be cleansed and their souls will be sublimated. The resulting [Holy Spirit] will be even more powerful. In other words, only a Knight of the Round Table, who has a [desperate desire] to fulfill, will create a powerful Holy Spirit for the use of Great Britain.

On the contrary, if the candidate only participates in the [Round Table Trial] for the sake of fame and fortune, that kind of person will be screened out on the way to the trial, and it will not be possible to have an absolutely strong will to go to that last step. ＂

"So what the hell do you want to say?" said King Arthur, and Albert's patience had reached its limit.

"What I want to say is------" The Knight King had already led the people to the edge of the apple grove, and there was an open field outside.

He walked over to a huge stone monument and stopped, and said in an unhurried tone, "[Trial of the Round Table] is, at best, a preparation to create a corresponding powerful [Holy Spirit]. A qualified [Knight of the Round Table] must be both a summoner and a user of the Holy Spirit. If you can't even summon the Holy Spirit, no matter how much you struggle, you won't be recognized by Great Britain as a Knight of the Round Table. ＂

He looked thoughtfully at Albert's furry white tiger face: "Mr. Albert, I have also heard of your physique. You had a spirit in your body before that, didn't you? After that, for some reason, the spirit disappeared, and the photons that were left of it merged with your own light soul.

------ strictly speaking, you are now also a spirit, something between an evil spirit and a holy spirit. ＂

Albert was silent for a moment, but did not retort.

"So things get a little bit more complicated. The Knight King continued, "During the summoning process, the forces of the spirits interfere with each other. Now you, who have a special spirit physique, are extremely incompatible with the Round Table system. Will you actually be able to summon your own Holy Spirit? We'll see. ＂

"Arthur, are you planning to have El summon his Holy Spirit in such a place?!" Bediwell on the side was full of surprise: "What the hell are you thinking? This tiger is not even a Knight of the Round Table!"

"The test to summon the Holy Spirit will be conducted at a later stage, and any qualified candidate will be eligible to take this test to see what form their [wishes] can summon. The Knight King said disapprovingly, "Now I'm just bringing this test forward and letting Mr. Albert test his strength." ＂

It's talking about [strength], but it's actually full of irony. It has nothing to do with strength at all, what the Knights of the Round Table need to summon the Holy Spirit is [an urgent desire].

[The Holy Spirit] is the embodiment of the [good wishes] of the summoner's heart. In the original ritual of summoning the Holy Spirit, the more urgent the summoner wants to fulfill, and the stronger the will, the stronger and more obvious the characteristics of the summoned Holy Spirit.

The question is whether Albert, who is now a spirit body, can still summon the Holy Spirit. According to King Arthur, Albert, who was already a spirit being, was poorly compatible with the [Round Table System]. In the worst-case scenario, the system will not be able to receive Albert's [wish] and give birth to a new spirit. If that's the case, things are awkward.

"Okay, you might as well try it. Albert swallowed, "What am I supposed to meow?"

"It's simple, go up to the altar and put your hand on the stele. The Knight King explained, "Then concentrate on your [wish] and ask that [the Holy Spirit] to appear in the world in its physical form to help you fulfill [your wish]." ＂

(What a meow.) Just praying, meow. ）

(Even in a world without God, people can't help but want to pray.) ）

(If [wishes] could be fulfilled just by that, there would not be so much suffering and strife in the world.) ）

Anyway------

Albert pushed Bediwell, who was holding him, and walked to the center of the altar himself.

The huge stone monument is engraved with ancient characters that are difficult to understand. The young tiger man suspected that even if an archaeologist understood the text, it might not be able to understand it. Because the stele is so dilapidated, it has been severely eroded by weathering. However, this did not affect the function of the stele itself, and its ability to summon the Holy Spirit did not depend on the stele in the first place, or perhaps the stele was only erected there for illustration.

The tiger man swallowed another mouthful of saliva and reached out to touch the stone tablet.

Aspiration?

In the past seven years, he has become a Warcraft hunter, hunting Warcraft with all his might in the entire Dawning Region, and maintaining peace in the Dawning Region.

Over the years, he has almost not sought fame and fortune, has not asked for anything in return, and has silently paid countless blood and sweat.

There is really only one wish.

------!Boom

As if in response to Albert's prayers, the entire altar shook.
