Chapter 43: The Final - Holy Grail War 001
The Holy Grail is a sacred relic in Christian legend. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ The info is said to have Jesus drink the glass of his wine called "The Blood of Jesus" at the Last Supper. There are various rumors about the magic of the Holy Grail. The most popular is that drinking alcohol can rejuvenate and immortalize. However, this is just one of the most common ways to say it.
There is a legend that goes like this. The Holy Grail, which is hailed as a relic of miracles, is not actually a real thing, but a "concept" that actually exists, and when this concept is embodied by some means, it has the power to be able to fulfill all wishes.
However, it does not fulfill people's desires casually. Each time it descends into the world, it only fulfills the wishes of one person, and, for some reason, it summons seven "Heroic Spirits" who are not part of the present world to become the Servants of seven magicians known as the Master, and then, asking these people to kill each other and finally fulfill the wish of the last victor.
Well,It's not a legend.,It's just a strange background setting that won't be delved into in the book animation of the egg pain.γ But that kind of thing doesn't matter at all, the important thing is that the "Holy Grail" that the contestants are competing for now really has the power of all desires in theory.
"The Holy Grail War does not impose any restrictions on any actions of the participants."
"To make the Holy Grail manifest, it is necessary to sacrifice the lives, souls, and everything else of the seven Servants of different ranks, and turn them into magical powers, so that the Holy Grail can be given a physical substance, so that the Holy Grail can truly come to the world."
"The so-called 'sacrifice' method is that after killing Servant, the person who killed him says 'sacrifice' to the corpse, and the sacrifice is completed when the corpse disappears completely after a minute."
"The final place of the Grail is the geographical midpoint of the place where the seven Servants were sacrificed, and the height is two meters above what can be called the highest point on the ground. Whoever holds the handle of the Grail after the visualization is deemed to have acquired the right to use the Grail. β
"After a participant obtains the right to use the Holy Grail, the 'World's No. 1 Martial Arts Association' competition ends, and the participant who has the right to use it is considered the champion and will have the right to make any wish to the Holy Grail, and the Holy Grail will definitely respond to his wish and fulfill it."
"In order to provide more fun and increase the enthusiasm of the contestants - I noticed that many of the contestants seem to have little interest in the tournament anymore, which is not good - in the Holy Grail War, whether you are a player, an NPC, or even a quest boss or an alien creature, as long as you are a contestant, death is death in the true sense of the word."
"Well, that's the basics. The Sixty-Year Holy Grail War has started again, so let's fight for victory! β
β¦β¦β¦β¦
The knight rubbed his temples, which he had expected but did not want to see, and felt something strange in his hands in the slightest movement. Gently lowering his hand, he confirmed that the anomaly came from a piece of cardboard in his hand, and took a careful look at it, on which were the letters "Saber".
"......" The knight frowned, pursed his lips slightly and pondered for a moment, then shook his head as if trying to sober himself up, and looked back at the man who had been behind him since the beginning, but did not say a word, "It's been a long time." β
"Uh-huh...... Well, if you can't stand it, you will spit out the hot gambling. β
The corners of the knight's mouth turned upward: "Don't speak when you have something in your mouth." What are you eating? β
ββ¦β¦ Uh-huh. Dead House No. 1 made an obvious, seemingly difficult swallowing motion, "Boss Qi, you are very good at taking care of people, just like other people's mothers." I'm eating something similar to grilled squid, would you like to try it? β
As he spoke, Dead House No. 1 raised his hand, and a dark green tentacle stretched out from his palm, and then, the tentacle broke by itself, twitching and falling on the fire that was burning at the foot of Dead House No. 1 just now, and oil splashes appeared, and after a while, when the tentacles stopped twitching, Dead House No. 1 raised his hand again, and a flesh-red tentacle with a blade at the front of his palm grew, and put the thing up and stretched it out in front of the knight: "The taste is still good, and it is very distinctive." β
With his hands behind his back, the knight crumpled the piece of cardboard, then put it in his pocket, squinting his eyes and taking two steps back: "No, no, thank you for your kindness." β
Dead House No. 1 smiled very brightly, nodded to the knight, swallowed the tentacle in one gulp, his expression distorted slightly for a moment, but quickly returned to normal, and chewed carefully for a while, and then said slowly: "What I said before is that I thought I would never see you again, and I was quite happy." β
"Well, so am I." Although the statement of Dead House No. 1 seems to be quite malicious to the knight, the knight himself does not seem to care, but as if he heard a very friendly word, he made a strange response, "It's a pity that in this world, everything can't be done to make people wish." So, what are your plans? β
Dead Mansion No. 1 showed his usual happy smile: "My plan, of course, is the same as Boss Qi. β
The knight pursed his lips, snorted coldly, pushed open the door, and saw the bright daylight outside: "Then let's go." β
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Tom Cruise sits on a bench on the roof of a hotel's garden-like building, next to his girlfriend and collaborator NPC. He noticed that the blonde girl who had always been gentle and brave sitting beside him was now a little confused and a little panicked. So he opened his mouth as a matter of course, and said in a naturally condescending manner: "What's wrong? β
Angel - the blonde girl's name - pulled out the cardboard in her hand, on which the lilac word "Caster" stood out in the sunlight: "I don't quite understand what that means. β
"Thrower? I don't quite understand what that means. Although Tom said this, there was no confusion in his expression, and the confidence he exuded could always easily infect others and make others trust him, perhaps because of this, he could become a well-known psychiatrist in the United States as a stowaway, and because of this, Angel would be his girlfriend.
Tom looked at Anqi, who nodded at him very seriously, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly: "But that's not a problem." The meaning of the GM was already very clear, if you want the competition to end, the contestants must die at least 7, and 1 per group. We couldn't have accepted this end condition from the start, right? β
Angel smiled and hugged Tom, "I knew you were the best person in the world!" β
Tom smiled and rubbed Angel's head, "So, let's just hide." The finals will never end. β
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"Gee, honestly, I thought you were going to give up on this final. But you seem to be motivated? In the dimly lit basement, the dusty little black scratched his head indifferently, causing dust to fly all around.
The silent turtle nodded, "I've thought about it. If the so-called 'wish' can really be fulfilled by anything, then it is far from the time to give up. I've been plagued by failure all my life -- well, it's time to succeed once. β
Xiao Hei opened his mouth to laugh, and was about to say something, but he was choked by the dust he raised and coughed one after another, and when he covered his mouth with his hand, he felt a strange hard object blocking him: "Alas? What is it? Written? The words are so black - I can't read ...... 'A-s-s'? β
"'Assassin,' don't be so erotic." The turtle smiled, "Didn't I say that before?" The so-called Servant, which was the Servant mentioned by the GM earlier, has a total of seven, and each of them corresponds to a 'job agent', remember? 'Assassin' is one of them, which means assassin. β
Xiao Hei was stunned for a moment, and swallowed: "Wait a minute, then I'll take this, that is, I'm a Servant?" You want to get the Holy Grail and become a champion - no, if anyone becomes a champion, I'm dead? β
Even though the basement was dimly lit and the dust was so obsessive that people's eyes couldn't open a little, the turtle still clearly saw the little black and green face, and smiled from the bottom of his heart: "Yes, your reaction is too slow." You should have thought about it when you listened to the rules, right? At least when I explain it to you, you should understand that one person will die in each group. β
Xiao Hei swallowed hard again: "What-me, can I think about it again." Don't be in such a hurry to be champions, eh- well, I guess, our plan is a little too reckless? β
The turtle showed a sly smile that only children can have when they play pranks: "Don't worry. What the Holy Grail can fulfill is 'any wish', and I will make a wish to restore everything to its original state, and this 'original state' will naturally include your state of life. To put it simply, as long as I win the championship, you will only die temporarily, and you will be resurrected soon. β
"Huh? Oh, yes......" Xiao Hei was obviously in a deeper tangle, "But, this, tsk, not ......"
"Haha." The turtle suddenly laughed cheerfully, "Don't worry. Just kidding. Of the two of us, I am the one who is going to die. You see, I also have the same cardboard. And, no matter how you think about it, in the end, your chances of surviving and getting the Holy Grail are much better than the chances of me surviving and getting the Holy Grail. β
"Huh? That's greatβit's not. Xiao Hei let out a sigh, quickly realized that something was wrong, and held back the second half of the sentence, "That's not what I meant." I mean, is there anyone who survives...... Law ......"
Speaking of which, the expression of the Dark Forest, who had returned to his own world, also darkened like his ID.
But the turtle didn't care: "Didn't I just say that?" It would be nice to make a wish for resurrection, so it was decided. β
The corners of Xiao Hei's mouth twitched: "That's it?" Well, it's really not good. Wait, why are you going? β
The turtle gave Xiao Hei a white look: "Get out of here." It's so big and stuffy, do you want to stay here for a long time? β
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Pale Zhiyan carefully looked at the card in his hand, flipped through it and looked at it several times, and finally nodded, made up his mind to prevent corrosion, raised his head and said to Wu Ansu: "What kind of thing is this Master, Servant or something, I have heard Lin Qing mention it a few times. The 'Berserker' is supposed to be a type of Servant, so this final is none of your business. β
Xiao Cang hesitated: "Ansu, you shouldn't have any wishes that must be realized, right?" β
Wu Ansu pursed his lips and nodded, Xiao Cang suddenly relaxed, and laughed: "Then you quickly get out of here and find a place to hide." You're not a Servant of any value, and you should be safe as long as you hide. So, let's separate them here. I wish you happiness in the future! It's a pleasure to be with you. β
Wu Ansu was stunned for a moment, and shouted to Xiao Cang, who had already turned around and walked towards the door of the room: "That, wait a minute-"
Xiao Cang turned his head, tilted his head, and asked with a smile, "What's wrong?" β
"......" Wu Ansu didn't speak, he was silent for about a minute, and finally said with some difficulty, "No, it's nothing." You have to take care of yourself too......"
"Haha, what are you talking about. Anyway, I'm also a well-known excellent player in the world, and I'm still the second player in the player rankings, so it's not so easy to get into trouble. Xiao Cang smiled brightly and waved his hand violently, "Goodbye!" β
ββ¦β¦ Good bye...... ......"
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"Although I'm ready to stop being so low-key and want to do something really valuable to change myself, the 'Lancer' is really creepy, and I can't wait to find a hole to shrink into." Lei Huo looked at the cardboard in his hand with a bitter face, and looked at it, as if he wanted to see something else, "I can't get motivated at all." β
Crimson Sea took a piece of cardboard with the same words written on it and studied it carefully, but finally looked up at Lei Huo suspiciously, and asked, "Is there anything wrong with the spearman?" I don't know what you mean. β
"No, nothing. It's just a joke. I'm a little superstitious, but it doesn't hurt. Lei Huo took a deep breath and calmed himself down, "Sister Hai, I said it before, I'm going to win the championship no matter what." It's a troublesome matter, and it's understandable that you don't trust me now, are you still willing to help me under such conditions? β
The Crimson Sea glanced at Lei Huo deeply: "You are not a bad person. If it is not something that exceeds my principles and bottom line, I am willing to help under any conditions. However, I would be happier if you could explain to me what happened before, especially about the two-color balls. β
"......" Lei Huo bit his lip and nodded with a serious expression, "When everything is over, I will definitely explain it to you." β
Crimson Sea smiled, she didn't seem to think of Thunder Fire's words and "If you were still alive then".
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"I said, do you know what 'Rider' means?" The security guard, who had appeared twice before, was very puzzled at the moment.
"What do you mean by the rider, I can't see the difference with the player's translation function, but it may sound different to you?" Next to the security guard, Bi Yuan, who answered the security guard's question, was actually very puzzled, "Even so, I still don't understand what it means." Maybe it's a hint that we're going to ride something out of here? β
"On a playground with no hair but artificial turf and plastic tracks, are we going to ride on each other and get out of here?" Although the security guard doesn't have much of a role, he is also very good at complaining, "Don't mention this." Do you understand the previous rules? β
Bi Yuan blinked his eyes and laughed a little embarrassedly: "Basically, you explain?" β
"I didn't understand at all." The security guard gave an impeccable answer very straightforwardly.
After looking at each other for a while, they both sighed and lay down on the playground.
"It's a headache, the only thing I hear is that I might ......die" "Ahhhhh......h
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"Lin Qing! I miss you so much! "Just after being transferred back to his own world, Lin Qing was tightly hugged by the golden scale, which was now much more open than before, and maintained this state until now.
Regarding the behavior of the golden scale hanging around his neck, Lin Qing just let out a bad smile that took advantage of the advantage and a bitter smile that was a little embarrassing, just like what he usually should be.
Because of this, Golden Libra didn't notice the slightest abnormality, didn't pay special attention to his expression, and couldn't see that Lin Qing at this moment didn't have any smile on his face, or rather, didn't show any emotion on his face.
It wasn't until Lin Qing was almost emotionless like a machine, and his voice spoke without any ups and downs, that Golden Libra discovered Lin Qing's strangeness. "'Archer', archer...... Yes. Good luck, huh. β
The last sneer, which itself had no feelings, but it was precisely because it had nothing that it made the golden scale that heard this sentence like falling into an ice cave at this moment.
