Chapter 269: The Stir Caused by the Holy Grail
"Knights, it's rare for you to gather here, I have something to ......" The palace was once again holding a banquet, and Artoria had something to say here.
"Whoa, whoa......" Artoria was halfway through her sentence when the sound of chewing interrupted her.
Who else but Mordred? Generally speaking, the main purpose of a banquet is not to fill the stomach but to discuss something. Most people consciously restrain themselves and go home to eat even if they are hungry. Mordred obviously doesn't have this kind of common sense, and has been constantly destroying the food in front of her since the beginning of the banquet. And her eating appearance is so indecent, her mouth is full of oil, which makes some knights around who think they are "civilized" frown frequently.
Gawain has been harassed by the "poor-chested and extremely evil" for a few days, and he has not experienced to take care of the food at the banquet. In other words, this time the banquet in the palace was finally not ruled by Gawain's carrots for the first time, and the cooking skills of the palace chef were fully developed. Mordred is very satisfied with this.
Mordred came to the royal capital in line with the principle of eating big households, and naturally it was impossible to let go of the palace banquet, a good opportunity to eat and drink in the open.
"........." Artoria's speech was interrupted by the sound of Mordred eating, and she glanced at Mordred who was gobbling up unhappily [How can there be such a shameful and conspicuous smashing? It's certainly not biological, right......... Can you not eat so delicious? Holy, I'm hungry to see it!! 】
Do you say it's not biological? This is a biological smash! If it weren't for her self-respecting identity, Artoria would probably not be much better than Mordred. The weight of the king's stomach is immeasurable......
Automatically ignoring Mordred, Artoria continued the topic that had just been raised, "That's it, I'm going to say ......"
"Whoa, whoa......" Artoria's words were interrupted again, and she looked at Mordred, who still had no eyes.
"Mordred! What are you doing?!! Unable to bear the fact that her speech was interrupted again and again, Artoria said angrily. Ever since Mordred joined the Knights of the Round Table, Artoria has felt her temper grow worse. So much so that now I can't stand it and get angry in public.
"Hmm......" Mordred was screamed by Artoria, swallowing everything in her mouth. His throat was bulging, and he choked on food.
"Water~" Rolling her eyes, Mordred spat out a word with difficulty and weakness. Artoria angrily motioned to the servants of the palace to bring water to Mordred.
"Goo Dong Goo Dong...... Mordred gulped all the water, collapsed on the seat and let out a sigh "Woo~~ I feel like I'm going to die~~~"
Knights such as Tristan, who had been "ransacked" by Mordred before, looked at Mordred strangely, and they couldn't say anything bitter in their hearts.
Ignoring Mordred again, Artoria had something important to say at the banquet, and she opened her mouth again: "That's ......"
"Hiccup~~~" Mordred gave a loud burp.
"Mordred, you're still ?!!! done" Artoria finally couldn't help it. Originally, I wanted to vaguely mention Mordred's background, but Mordred was so embarrassed at the banquet that Artoria had the heart to drive her out. [It's really embarrassing and conspicuous!! 】
Despite Mordred's humiliation, Artoria still had to say it, so she opened her mouth again: "What I want to tell you is ......"
"Buzz~~~" People are unlucky, and they stuff their teeth when they drink cold water. Poor, Artoria's words were once again interrupted by an irrelevant jumble of voices.
"What the !!" Artoria directly pulled out the big gun (Holy Spear King), "Mordred, what do you want to do?!!! ”
Mordred looked innocent: "Meow meow??? ”
"My king, this time it's really not Mordred, you look up at the sky." Bedwell, beside Artoria, said.
??? This time it seemed that Mordred was really to blame, and Bedwell's words caused all the knights of the round table, including Artoria, to look up at the sky.
The main hall of the palace has a wide view, and you can see the scene outside very clearly.
[The sky suddenly became gloomy. After a flash of lightning and thunder, suddenly a ray of sunlight shone through the clouds, and a pure gold chalice appeared above the round table. The Holy Grail circled through mid-air and then vanished. The appearance of the Holy Grail gave all the knights an unprecedented pleasant experience. So all the knights swore an oath to travel immediately to find the Holy Grail. King Arthur and Queen Gnevel were very sad about this, because the knights who went abroad must have been compromised, and there were no more noble knights at the king's and queen's side. 】
The above is the description of the Holy Grail in the book "The Death of King Arthur", although it is a bit exaggerated, but it is almost the same. It's just that...... Compared to the original story, the attitude of the knights present towards the sudden arrival of the Holy Grail seems to be a little different.
"Damn, is this the god coming to rule the world??? The knights began to talk.
[Return to the gods? Why don't you say that it is aliens who have invaded the earth?! Mordred was accidentally summoned to participate in the two Holy Grail Wars in the afterlife, and even won one of them, and is familiar with this broken cup that does not know whether it is gold or copper.
"My king, this is the legendary Holy Grail, which is said to be the cup that Jesus used for the Last Supper with the Twelve Disciples." Merlin explained for Artoria.
"Of course I know it's the Holy Grail." Artoria forcibly explained, not knowing who had nervously pulled out the holy spear just now when the Holy Grail appeared.
"Oh, oh, oh, it turns out that saints also drink~" Artoria sighed heartily.
【??? What reaction? So your attention is here? Merlin touched his sweat speechlessly.
Who says saints can't drink? According to the Bible, Christians are not allowed to drink fermented wine. If it is unfermented and brewed by yourself, you can drink it; If it has been fermented and has an alcohol content, whether it is red wine, rice wine, or wine, you can't drink it.
And in Christianity, red wine is seen as the blood of Jesus.
