Initially, the deal between Xiao Yan and Descartes was limited to a fragment of the Tree of the World, but soon the Knights of Punishment were mixed up. After that, the parade of the Holy Maiden and the battle with the Knights of Punishment obscured the otherwise clear transaction, each of which played a different role and gradually lost its self because of this play.

Xiao Yan's awakening was not too late, he didn't bother to ask these beings to accompany him to Jerusalem, although this might save him a lot of trouble, but who knows whether this omission is a good thing or a bad thing. In particular, this omission, which is based on deception, is inherently unstable.

As for telling these beings for free where the Ark is, this kind of thing is not a blessing. At least in Xiao Yan's opinion, this is just a compensation for his previous deception.

However, this behavior surprised Descartes, who asked directly, "You really don't need anything in return?" I mean, you can do everything without us? ”

Sylvia gently tugged at Xiao Yan's sleeve and said two words in Xiao Yan's ear in Chinese.

"Guaranteed."

Xiao Yan was silent for a moment before he understood what Sylvia meant. The female vampire is not talking about these Descartes, but other lives, such as those in the otherworldly realm. Without figuring out the rules of the Ark's access, this rash push of the lives to Corey is also irresponsible. If the Ark explicitly demanded that only the winner of the last place have the right to assign who can enter, then Xiao Yan's practice is actually equivalent to giving up the opportunity to continue life in Europe in disguise.

Come to think of it. Xiao Yan rubbed his eyebrows. How to deal with this situation. It's also a bit tricky for him.

Seeing Xiao Yan's expression, Descartes said succinctly: "Okay, sir, let me make a judgment." You know where the Ark is, but you don't know where it is, and you don't know how to get into the Ark. ”

Xiao Yan nodded.

Descartes went on to say, "According to you, you would have needed to find the Holy Grail through the ark, that is. When you come into contact with the Ark, you will know how the Ark enters it. But in any case, this world will inevitably be destroyed, and it has nothing to do with whether you can find the Ark or the Holy Grail. ”

The Young Awoken nodded again.

The werewolf steward further said, "The Holy Grail, the Ark, there must be a close connection between the two. There is no separate ark, and no separate chalice, in this case, even if we travel alone to Paris. It also makes no sense. So, under normal circumstances. We should follow you to find all the news of the Ark and gather the Holy Grail together, so that we can get the opportunity to enter the Ark. Other than that, even knowing where the Ark of the Dao is meaningless to us. Don't feel unusual, sir, your thoughts are constantly changing, and so are we. It is true that we did not have the will to participate in this kind of battle before this, but if we did not participate in this war, and we need to look at other people's colors in exchange for the future, we would rather not have such a future. ”

Xiao Yan turned his head and glanced at Sylvia, everything that the werewolf butler said was indeed true. The Holy Grail and the Ark are mutually exclusive, and in the same way, there is no contradiction between salvation and battle. Whether the winner will be able to save all lives fairly is one thing, but whether the loser will be saved is another.

Life is not only to be saved, but also to be dignified, and to grovel to a future that does not apply to all intelligent life. However, all this, whether it is the hope of life or the dignity of life, needs to be fought for and grasped with one's own hands. Begging for food and counting on others has neither dignity nor security. Only the victor can hold the throat of fate, that's everything.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yan looked up at Descartes and said, "My arrival, from the beginning, was only related to the Holy Grail, and I must win the Holy Grail. Now, most of the news of the Holy Grail is focused on Jerusalem, where I have to go and fight with the others. It takes a lot of strength, and of course, I can go alone, but the chances are not good. Theoretically, for the sake of intelligent life in Europe as a whole, it would be better to have a strong coalition of intelligent life in Europe act with me, so that our victory will be more certain. ”

Descartes nodded and said, "That's all, sir, we already know." Since the end is bound to come, and our life and death are already doomed, why not make such a death more meaningful? Rather than watching the end come and fall into boundless despair and pain. So, sir, we don't really have a dispute on this matter. Werewolves' lives should be dedicated to battle, not as naïve and ignorant as a flock of chicks. Say your wish, sir, how many werewolves do you need? ”

Xiao Yan frowned, thought for a while and said, "All, if possible, I need all the werewolves, except for those children." ”

After a pause, he continued: "Even the children of werewolves can't all board the ark, it's cruel, I think the number of rides that the ark can tolerate is limited after all, and the number of lives that each race can go up can't be uncontrolled. It's very, very bad, in fact, I need you to die, and die, and keep and on. If you don't want to despair when the end comes, give everything you have before the end comes. Only the last part of the life is left. ”

Descartes' expression was equally gloomy, and after a while, when the other beings began to leave, and even half of Toria's body had already entered the air ripples, the werewolf butler looked up at Xiao Yan and said, "All, as you need, all the werewolves will be assembled near Linz in 30 days, waiting for your orders." ”

"We will go to Linz after we have established the existence of the Ark in Paris, all the same."

Trishart looked at Xiao Yan and said, "As you said, leaving the youngest child can avoid the pain of choosing. There's no need to face despair together, and the elves love it too. ”

Xiao Yan nodded again, he couldn't imagine how huge such a coalition army would be, tens of thousands? Several hundred thousand? If you add dwarves, cyclops, and the unicorns seen in Scandinavia, the number of such an alliance may exceed 400,000. In the East, such a large army may not be uncommon, and the number of troops used in any national war, plus logistical support, will not be less than this number. However, this was in medieval Europe, and it is not an exaggeration to say that such a large number of soldiers were mobilized.

"Food, weapons, equipment, later stage, all of this we need to plan well. The road from Hungary to Bulgaria, which we have already visited, is not too much of a problem, but after Bulgaria, how to get to Byzantium, how to get guaranteed from Byzantium, this is the real big problem. ”

Xiao Yan watched all the alien beings leave, and said in a deep voice: "In history, Frederick I once suffered a great loss from the Byzantium, thus conniving at the army to plunder along the way, which eventually led to the failure of the Lionheart's crusade. That defeat was both accidental and inevitable, there was not enough logistics, there was nothing unhurried along the way, it was just the number of troops, it could not solve anything. ”

Sylvia nodded and asked, "So, what are you going to do?" ”

"Tomorrow I will go to see the Emperor, and whether or not we can reach an agreement, I will go to Paris."

Xiao Yan changed his mind, before that, he didn't want to think too much about this matter. However, once things get to this point, he will not shirk his responsibility.

"I first have to find the Ark, know all the conditions, and take the 'admission ticket' to participate in the duel. Munich has no special meaning here except for King Solomon. Now it is more important to determine the address of the Ark, and then to know what the conditions of access to the Ark of the Ark are, and to ensure that the news of the Holy Grail of Europe is known to us first. ”

After speaking, Xiao Yan turned his head to look at Silvia and said, "You need to go to Linz, I need you to control the whole situation there, and when I bring news from Paris, this coalition army can leave the journey." ”

Sylvia looked at Xiao Yan, and after a moment, she suddenly smiled and asked, "Are you running away?" ”

Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment and said, "Escape from what?" ”

"Don't be surprised to avoid seeing Du Ruoxi, women always have intuition. Between you and Du Ruoxi, there is a secret that I don't know, and I have always felt like this. Now, Du Ruoxi and her sisters are returning from Spain and will be able to reach Italy in ten days. And you are heading to Paris at this time. In terms of time, there is not much difference between the time when they finally arrived in Munich and the time you arrived in Paris. When you return from Paris, they have already traveled to Stuttgart, leading the knights and priestesses of the Stuttgart Women's Monastery to Jerusalem. In this way, you will never meet until you enter Bulgaria. ”

Sylvia stepped forward and hugged Xiao Yan and asked, "What are you running away from?" Fear of what? ”

Without waiting for Xiao Yan to answer, the female vampire asked again, "Is it because of my existence?" ”

Xiao Yan shook his head, he admitted that he did have a good impression of Du Ruoxi, but this good feeling had not yet entered the point of love. It is not unreasonable to say that he avoided Du Ruoxi, but it is far from being afraid to say that this kind of avoidance is far from it.

"You'll know everything, and until then, do as I say."

Xiao Yan hugged Sylvia and said, "Your presence is not an obstacle, Sylvia, we rely on each other and rely on each other. I need your help, not your gains and losses. ”

The female vampire nodded, hugged Xiao Yan hard, and said, "Okay, hand over your army to me, and I will tell you what kind of surprise the blood clan's experience in unifying the army will bring you." (To be continued......)
