Chapter 35: The Holy Grail?
Fortunately, Victor only asked casually, and did not continue to ask, Zhao Huan followed Hoff out of the hall.
"What? You're going to stay here? Hearing Zhao Huan say let them leave first, Hove left and exclaimed.
Seeing Arnos's tragic death, how dare Hoff let Zhao Huan stay here, he whispered to Zhao Huan, "Zhao, Arnos is right, this is a cursed place, and all the devils here, so come with me." ”
"Needless to say, Hoff, I have to do something to stay, so you might as well leave with Lillian and Jessica."
"But"
"Listen, Hough," Zhao Huan stared straight at Hough with his eyes, and said word by word, "if this is a cursed place, then someone needs to lift the curse, this place has already suffered a lot, and someone must put an end to this." ”
"Brother, is it okay to walk with Jessica," Jessica pitifully grabbed Zhao Huan's trouser leg.
Zhao Huan sighed, picked her up, and scratched her little nose, "Brother promised you that he would definitely go back to see you, and go home with your father." ”
handed Jessica to Hove, watching their family get into the carriage, Zhao Huan took advantage of the guards' inattention, slipped behind another carriage, and then under the cover of the carriage, Zhao Huan ran into Lucian's blacksmithing room, according to Zhao Huan's thoughts, now that Lucian has been locked up, no one here should pay attention.
Sure enough, the blacksmith shop was empty, surrounded by shoes and weapons and the like, Zhao Huan picked up a long sword casually,
Rough Iron Sword, Type: Longsword Weapon; Attributes: White; Ability: Increases attack by 10; Enhancement level: LV1
Zhao Huan's heart was shocked, although this was just an ordinary white suit, but looking at all the weapons around him, Zhao Huan suddenly had a feeling of picking up banknotes on the street, and excitedly picked up another long sword, and sure enough, it was a white suit again, Zhao Huan saw the long sword next to him that was very similar to a vampire guard standard weapon,
Delicate longswords, types, longsword-like weapons; Attributes: Black Iron, Ability: Increases attack by 25, with 2 seconds of tear damage; Enhancement level LV1
There are actually black iron weapons, Zhao Huan immediately excitedly loaded them into the branding space, in line with the idea that mosquitoes are also meat in small sizes, Zhao Huan didn't even let go of white clothes, and received a total of 105 white suits, 7 black iron suits, and a bronze suit,
Tempered Shoes, Type: Mount Equipment, Attributes: Bronze, Ability: Increases the speed of the mount by 10%, and strengthens the level LV1; Skill: Walking on the ground, playing the highest speed on the flat land on the rough road,
After looting the weapon, Zhao Huan planned to leave, and the purpose of his entry into the iron room was to enter the underground passage, which was the sewer that Lucien took when he went to have an affair with Sanya.
The castle is built on the mountain, and below it is a huge cave, Zhao Huan walked in it carefully, and when he turned the bend in front of him, the cave became huge and empty, and suddenly Zhao Huan retreated, because he suddenly saw a black shadow.
Zhao Huan hid in the shadows of the cave, watching the figure from afar.
The figure groped in front of the mountain wall for a long time, and suddenly laughed, "Hahaha, finally let me find the Holy Grail, I don't know if what is said in the original book is true, it's something that even the protagonist hasn't gotten his hands on."
This voice was a little familiar, but Zhao Huan didn't pay attention to it, what he cared about was the word Holy Grail, of course he knew what it was, the Holy Grail is one of the most legendary holy relics in the history of Christ, it is said that if you drink the water it contains, you can live forever.
There is also a legend that Cain used the Holy Grail to hold Adam's blood, so he was cursed and became an immortal monster, that is, the ancestor of vampires, but the ancestor of vampires in this world is Marcus, I wonder what the connection between the two will be?
Countless people throughout history have sought to find the Holy Grail, but no trace of it is still known.
It is believed that the Holy Grail stayed in Italy for 300 years and was first kept by the monks of St. Lawrence, the deacons of the Holy See. Towards the end of the 3rd century AD, he is said to have sent two Spanish legionnaires to return it to his hometown of Uesca in the Pyrenees. He came to a tragic end - his friend Pope Sixtus II. One of the early martyred saints of the Roman Christian Church, he was killed by the Roman Emperor Valerius. (The date quoted by this author is anecdotal and the martyrdom date of Pope Sextus is 258 A.D.) A few days after his execution, he was also roasted to death on an iron grill. )
Wolfram von Eschenbach, who died in 1230 A.D. and is widely regarded as the preeminent Germanic narrative poet of the Middle Ages, insisted that the Holy Grail was a spiritual stone resembling a "horn of plenty" that provided endless food and eternal youth.
Of course, in addition to the cup in which Jesus' blood is called the Holy Grail, there is also a Holy Grail in the history of Christ, which was used by Jesus at the Last Supper, and this cup has been passed down to the world.
It is housed in an attached chapel of the Cathedral of Valencia, Spain. Although the Roman Catholic Church never revered it as a holy object, they recognized it as the cup blessed by Christ at the Last Supper, which was used by the popes before St. Lawrence sent it to Spain. The chalice is now kept inside bulletproof glass. March 18, 1437, Navarre, a kingdom formed in the southwestern region of the Pyrenees in the 9th century. It flourished in the 11th and 12th centuries, when the family occupied the thrones of Gastier, Aragon, and Lyon through marriage, and gained control of France in the 13th century. At the beginning of the 16th century, the south was occupied by the Kingdom of Spain, and the west was annexed by Henry III of Navarre becoming Henry IV of France. The king sent the Holy Grail to the Cathedral of Valencia, where he was only briefly relocated twice for security reasons during the War of Independence against France and the Spanish Civil War.
The solid gold base of the chalice is set with 28 pearls, 2 rubies and 2 emeralds. It has a body height of 55 cm, a diameter of 95 cm and a wall thickness of 3 mm. Including the bottom holder, the cup is 17 cm high and 145 cm wide. The eminent archaeologist Antonio Beltrán says that the chalice we see today was made in the monastery of San Juan in Peña, probably by a goldsmith from Byzantium. The upper part of the Holy Grail was originally made in the Near East, either Alexandria of Egypt or Antioch of Syria. Beltrin says there is no doubt that the Holy Grail was created between the last half of the last century B.C. and the first half of the first century A.D. This period happens to be the time in which Jesus Christ lived.
Antonio Beltrán explains that the stone base is the part of the true Holy Grail. At the foot of the vessel is an Arabic inscription that no one has been able to translate with complete certainty. The different translations are: "To those who bring glory"; "Praise Mary"; "Lord of Mercy" (this is the Arabic term for Allah); "Lord of Prosperity", and so on. ACCORDING TO SOME LEGENDS, THE INSCRIPTION "LAPISEXCILLIS" (TRANSCENDENT STONE) SOMETIMES APPEARS ON IT.
We will probably never know what the Holy Grail really looked like, but the delicate and beautiful object we can see today may be the real cup used by Jesus Christ 2,000 years ago, and it has largely laid the foundations of Western mythology and romanticism.
If the Holy Grail that the shadow spoke of was true, then it was certainly not the cup used at the Last Supper, but the one that had the magic of Jesus to make people immortal!
