A group of knights stared at the table and were stunned for a while, but no one said a word. What was going on? Why is it that while eating, a big cup suddenly falls from the sky? Just now, the Holy Grail fell from the sky like an alien flying saucer, and even flew around the palace hall twice.

None of the knights present had ever seen this kind of battle. Although Merlin explained the story of the Holy Grail on his behalf, it was still a little bizarre.

"I said, have you found out? It seems that every time a large banquet is held in the palace, there will always be some accidents, and finally it will be unhappy. "Emotionally, Artoria's focus is completely off the same line as the knights. But what she said does make a lot of sense, it is true that there are accidents at every banquet. Incidents such as Mordred and Gawain beating each other into pigs' heads at the banquet and the Roman envoy Gaullius making wild remarks at the banquet are all proven.

"Could it be that Feng Shui is not good?" At this time, "Clown" Dagonit was always the first to speak, and he thought thoughtfully: "I said that we should not inherit this former Roman ruling mansion and transform it into a royal palace." It must have been the brutal rule of the Romans here that caused the injustices that made the feng shui here bad! ”

For the first time, no knight sneered at Dagonit, a sycophant, and he made a lot of sense, and even the knights were considering whether it was really because of the palace feng shui problem.

"I had to kill a Merlin to sacrifice to the sky!" Artoria decided that Merlin would be resurrected anyway, which was a good material for worshipping the heavens...... Are you sure this is not a communiqué vendetta?

"Don't don't, my king, steady! Stable! Merlin panicked, "What's the matter with me?" I'm innocent!! ”

In the end, it was Lancelot who relieved Merlin, "My king is just joking with you." How could there be such a thing as sacrificing the national teacher? Don't worry about it. ”

How could it be...... If you sacrifice Merlin, you can really make trouble! Artoria's expression on the throne didn't seem to be fake, she was really considering the possibility of slaughtering Merlin to sacrifice to the sky. Don't joke with King Arthur, and don't think what King Arthur said is a joke. This is the truth!

"Was that the legendary Holy Grail just now? But Master Merlin, what is the purpose of this so-called holy relic? Artoria asked curiously. Well, for the sake of the need for Merlin, a well-informed man, to explain, Artoria temporarily dismissed the idea of sacrificing Merlin. [It's exciting to think about!] 】

"It is our king, and many legends say that if you can find this chalice and drink the water it contains, you will be rejuvenated, resurrected from the dead, and have eternal life." Merlin patiently explained.

？？？ Now it was Mordred's turn to be confused, and she asked puzzledly, "Isn't it true that the Holy Grail can be used to fulfill her wish after you get it?" Looks like you'll have to slaughter a few unlucky Heroes to recharge it before you can make your wish come true, right? For Mordred, who had fought in the Holy Grail War, Merlin's statement was very different from what Mordred knew.

"How is it possible to have an all-purpose wishing machine? Mordred, where did you hear that? How come I never knew that there was such a thing as a grail? Merlin asked. The other knights nodded their heads as well, and it seemed that Merlin's statement was correct, and everyone did not agree with Mordred's statement.

"No, it's okay, maybe I'm mistaken." Mordred denied her previous claims. Because Mordred participated in the Holy Grail War, it was originally a kind of "séance ceremony, heroic spirit summoning". It is a ritual to summon heroes from different historical periods throughout the ages to gather enough seven people to fight each other for the Holy Grail.

This in itself is a ritual initiated by humans, and nature is not the same as the Holy Grail in the true sense of the word. Merlin's statement is orthodox, and the role of the Holy Grail is definitely not used to grant wishes.

But it's no wonder that Mordred is confused, and everyone doesn't care too much.

"Master Merlin, do you mean that the water filled with the Holy Grail has the effect of rejuvenating and even immortality?" A curious Kai asked, interested in the usefulness of the broken cup.

"Ah, that's right. But no one has tried it, and I don't know if it has this effect. Merlin's answer was ambiguous.

"Hey, Knight Kai, when did you become so scared to death?" Mordred quipped, a rare opportunity to tease Kai, "As knights under King Arthur, are we pursuing such a cheesy goal as immortality?" As long as life is meaningful, is the length of life really that important? ”

"No, that's not what I meant. As a knight, I have already given everything I have to my king, so how can I be greedy for life and afraid of death? You're underestimating me, Mordred. If nothing else, I Kai must be the most loyal and lifeless of the Knights of the Round Table. "Kai is a chatter and a bit narcissistic, and he can't stop praising himself as soon as he opens his mouth.

"Hmph, Kai, do you mean that we are not as loyal as you?" The other knights were a little displeased when they heard Kai's words.

"Of course it's me...... How could this be? We are all the most loyal! Thankfully, Kai's father, King Arthuria's adoptive father, Eckert, gave the open-mouthed Kai a wink, and Kai changed his tune. In this way, the anger of many knights was appeased.

"Ahh Kai patted his head.

"I mean......" Kai said to himself, "what if the Holy Grail could make my king immortal?" ”

It was such a bold idea that the knights in the hall held their breath when they heard it.
