Chapter 650: This strong sense of déjà vu is something about
The most talked about part of King Arthur's legend is his journey and experience with the Knights of the Round Table in search of the Holy Grail.
It is worth mentioning that in Celtic mythology, the original Holy Grail does not refer to the "Communion Cup" that the Holy See currently keeps, and the specific form of the Holy Grail has never been known, some people say that it is a stone that fell from heaven with magical powers, and some people say that it is a Pandora's box that gathers all the evils in the world......
And among all the claims about the Holy Grail, the most unreliable one, and the one that Yi Cheng is most interested in, happens to be the so-called truth described by the current "historical insider", Archbishop Sally-
"As the core of the conspiracy of the Banshees of Avalon, the Holy Grail was described by Merlin and others as a sacred artifact that 'only the pure and righteous can see', and instigated King Arthur to send his Knights of the Round Table out to find them, so as to weaken the power of the Knights of the Round Table loyal to King Arthur, during this period, most of the Knights of the Round Table loyal to King Arthur died in the process, and Lancelot also held the core power of the Knights of the Round Table, taking advantage of King Arthur's foreign conquest to launch a rebellion, and even tried to get his hands on King Arthur's beloved queen. However, neither Lancelot himself, nor Merlin, nor the Banshees of Avalon ever thought of it...... The real 'Holy Grail' has always been by King Arthur's side. ”
"Real ...... Grail? ”
Acutely aware of the meaning of Archbishop Sally's statement, Isei realized almost immediately what she was referring to by the "Holy Grail".
"Looks like you've thought of it."
Although his eyes could not see, it did not prevent Archbishop Sally from casting an approving look at Yi Cheng with those watery eyes.
The true Holy Grail does not refer to the cup of the Eucharist that the Son used at the Last Supper, but ...... Spouse of the Son. ”
“……”
Life is full of surprises, and that's probably the case.
According to the urine nature of "the twin towers are not towers", the statement that "the Holy Grail is not a cup" is rightfully true, and it still exists by King Arthur's side from beginning to end in the most bizarre way, and it is not until the moment when King Arthur needs it most that it truly shows its due power.
"As the inheritor of the power of the 'Holy Grail', the reincarnation of the Son's consort, when Lancelot and other rebels tried to offend the queen, the power that lurked in his body, capable of purifying and sweeping away all evil, finally broke out, weakening the power of the enemy, so that these people had to flee in disarray and return to Avalon to survive.
“……”
I don't know why, Yi Cheng always feels ...... I look like I've heard this story somewhere.
If King Arthur's magic sword is not called EX Curry Stick but "Fire Delight", if the power inherited by the queen does not come from the "Holy Grail" but from the Sun Well, if the chest of a member of the Knights of the Round Table is not a royal emblem but a red maple leaf......
Well, even putting aside this seemingly coincidental similarity, the subsequent plot development fully proves that Yi Cheng's wild dog-like bohemian association is not just groundless.
"After meeting King Arthur for the last time, pouring the power of the Holy Grail into the magic sword in King Arthur's hand, and turning it into a holy sword that can drive away all evil, because the mortal body could not withstand the power of God, the queen died suddenly, and King Arthur himself made a vow to kill the newborn holy sword on the island of Avalon and destroy the Banshee King......"
So, let's sum it up.
The essence of the so-called legend of King Arthur is that of a paladin with 9 girls...... Ah no, the story of 9 Knights of the Round Table, overturning the copy of Throne of Avalon.
The end result is not difficult to imagine, since the British royal family and the state religion ...... That is, today's Protestantism has survived to this day, and Avalon is said by Archbishop Sally to be "no longer there", then, in the end, the protagonist of that era must have won the final victory.
"Yes, after passing the throne to the illegitimate son of himself and his sister, King Arthur armed with the Holy Sword, led the few remaining righteous and holy Knights of the Round Table into Avalon, fought a fierce battle against the rebellious Knights of the Round Table and the Banshees of Avalon, and finally, with the power of the Holy Sword, completely destroyed this evil and filthy land."
With this, Archbishop Sally let out a long sigh.
"At the end of the battle, the power of the Holy Sword collided with evil, causing an impact that tore through the surrounding time and space, and in order to cover the retreat of his loyal companions, King Arthur was left alone behind the palace, and finally disappeared with the evil land of Avalon, and disappeared without a trace."
Say what is missing...... This is clearly the rhythm of being taken to the space-time hub by Blizzard's father to start a new story!
In any case, the true story of King Arthur has come to an end here, although it is full of all kinds of déjà vu and complaints, but ...... If you really calculate according to time, it's really impossible to say who copied whom.
In fact, what Yi Cheng is most concerned about now is of course not King Arthur's life or death, or the start of the new Holy Grail War, but ...... Where Lake Avalon is located.
Although I don't know why Mentor Red made such a request, although that woman would show unreliable characteristics most of the time, since it was such a solemn request, that is, she must have reliable and detailed information in her hands.
But as Archbishop Sally swears, Avalon ...... It doesn't exist anymore, which is very contradictory.
"Wait, I'd like to make sure...... Is this the only place called 'Lake Avalon'? Is there anything else, where the name is repeated? ”
"As far as I know, no."
Archbishop Sally shook his head earnestly.
"Lake Avalon itself is currently located in the southwest of Britain, and there is only one place in Britain and all of Europe that has this name."
"Huh?"
Yi Cheng looked at the archbishop who had just sworn that "Avalon does not exist".
"You're not saying that Avalon has ...... Is it gone? ”
"yes, that's right."
The bishop's sister was puzzled for a moment, and then suddenly smiled.
"I'm talking about Avalon Island, in the heart of Lake Avalon, which is the evil place known as 'Avalon' in the true sense of the word, as for Lake Avalon...... In that final battle, its fringe part survived along with the surrounding woodland, and after years of collection, it has now become a completely new lake......"
"You just said ...... Is this Lake Avalon in the southwest of Britain? ”
"Yes, that's right, in a canyon in the southwestern mountains, where the royal family and Protestants have been patrolling and guarding for a long time."
Looks like...... That's it.
Yi Cheng, who almost missed the important information because of the difference in thinking, couldn't help but pat his thigh excitedly.
"You...... Interested in Lake Avalon? ”
"Ah, that's not wrong...... Oh yes, you say, if I wanted to go over there and see it, would the royal family agree? ”
"About that...... In fact, the royal family's consent is not required. ”
Archbishop Sally smiled and pointed at herself.
As a Protestant archbishop, I have the same powers, but you need to make sure that you don't go near the designated danger zone and don't use your supernatural abilities within the confines of Lake Avalon, which is a rather volatile space that could trigger a catastrophe that will engulf the entire island of Britain. ”
"Don't worry! I'll just take a look, and I'm sure I'm not going to mess around! ”
said that there was an empty guarantee with a similar meaning to "I'll rub it, and I will definitely not insert it", and Yi Cheng's heart was already happy.
Another village, it seems...... This time, I was finally able to accomplish the goal set by Mentor Hong.
