Chapter 123: The Holy Grail Journey, a knight from the wilderness
Facts have proved that Gu Shanhai still underestimated the speed of preparation, thinking that it would be completed in about ten days and half a month, but it was forced to drag him for a month to be completed, Gu Shanhai's extraordinary cover has reached 8 rings, which can cover the breath and extraordinary aura on his body, and they have completed it.
It's not that there are few people who sign up, but there are a lot of them, and after Kaye has screened many times, a few knights have been selected.
In fact, if there is a choice, Gu Shanhai will definitely choose the Knight of the Round Table who will get the Holy Grail for Atollis in the future, but unfortunately, he has not been born yet.
Under normal circumstances, this Holy Grail plot will be at least ten or twenty years later, Gu Shanhai triggered it in advance, naturally the corresponding candidate is gone, and because of the change in the plot, whether the other party can be born or not is one thing, even if he can be born, Gu Shanhai does not plan to wait for the other party for ten or twenty years.
In the previous life, there was naturally no player in this life, after all, relying on the special profession of the dragon vein druid, it was made into a large commercial area like the previous world, and many players bought and sold all kinds of dragon bloodlines here, which belonged to a profitable business, and there was not even a bit of slag in this life, how could players be willing to settle in.
Later, Gu Shanhai glanced at the candidates for the Holy Grail Regiment that was prepared, there were nearly three thousand people, and Gu Shanhai was numb, whether this was to find the Holy Grail or to destroy the country, there were not so many people when Atollis went out to fight.
So he didn't hesitate to cut down two zeros, thirty people were enough, he only needed to be elite, such as slaves, cooks, etc., it would be useless at all, and it would drag down his schedule.
Kaye was a little embarrassed by this, he didn't expect that Gu Shanhai only had thirty people, but fortunately, it was easy to deal with, and he picked fifteen knights, ten druids and five wizards, which belonged to internal self-recommendation.
It's not that Gu Shanhai suspects a lot of people, it's mainly that it's useless, the Holy Grail can't be obtained by a lot of people, and it's also quite dangerous along the way.
The danger is not the process, but the bad luck.
The young knight who found the Holy Grail in his previous life, the knight who sat at the seat of calamity, was praised as the boy who carried the round table of the next generation.
Belonging to the second generation of the Knights of the Round Table, his life is actually very unfortunate, whether it is from birth to death.
Gu Shanhai suspected that it might be the cause of the Holy Grail, so what if people caused a chain avalanche, it was good for one person to be unlucky, but if a group of people were unlucky, it would be miserable.
After making proper preparations, Gu Shanhai set off with a group of people to leave the royal capital, and when he left, Atolis also came out to see him off, which greatly encouraged the personnel of the Holy Grail Order.
"Mr. Shanhai, is the legend of the Holy Grail true?" The knight in armor on the side, Lance, asked curiously, he was the commander this time, as one of the powerful knights in the process of Atolis's conquest of the world, he followed Gu Shanhai and left, he was actually not familiar with Gu Shanhai.
What's more, the unborn Knight of the Holy Grail is his illegitimate son, the reason why Gu Shanhai brought him was just to see if he could do it for him, but after observing it, it was not good, so he had to come by himself.
"I just predicted it, not really touched it, if I could be sure of the truth, I would not have brought you thirty, but the three thousand arranged by Minister Kaye." Gu Shanhai said that he didn't know, so he needed us to investigate.
Lan Si nodded, he was very satisfied with Gu Shanhai's explanation and arrangement, three thousand people was definitely a lot of money.
"Where do we need to go? Is it dangerous along the way? Lancet asked again, he naturally didn't know the location and location.
"The center of the continent, the danger is not dangerous, Your Majesty has led you to conquer the whole world, the countries are dissipated, everything is prostrate under Your Majesty's throne, at most it is some bandits, with your bravery, you can still protect me." Gu Shanhai brazenly put himself in the position of the weak.
Anyway, he covered up his breath, transcendent aura, etc., in the eyes of these knights and druids, Gu Shanhai was very ordinary.
No one dared to jump out to challenge his authority, everyone had brains, and they all regarded Gu Shanhai as a druid who was good at divination and prophecy, and Merlin was the same kind of person, making friends was the right way to open it, and he could ask the other party for help in the future.
"I see, Mr. Shanhai needs our help to protect you." Lancet directly made up Gu Shanhai's thoughts, not everyone has a magical bloodline like Merlin, so in the eyes of everyone, Gu Shanhai has naturally become a type that specializes in divination and prediction but has no strength against the enemy.
"yes, that's what I thought!" Gu Shanhai can't say that he is ready to let you be coolies, oh, it doesn't seem to be much worse, in short, they just do the work.
Fortunately, everyone has just come down from the battlefield not long ago, and they still maintain the idea of hardship and simplicity, and have been on the battlefield, especially after this kind of battlefield that is like a meat grinder against the enemy of the whole world, many of the habits of the original nobles have been worn out, and even if they can recover, they will have to enjoy themselves for a while to recover.
"I still have to trouble you on the road, but don't worry about our bad life on the road, with our current identity, as long as we go to the town, we don't have to worry about not having shelter and food, now our identity is the highest pass, Lancet I remember that your title should be duke, one level higher than me?" Gu Shanhai teased.
"Mr. Shanhai is polite, Your Majesty has already said that you are the supreme commander this time, and you will also be a duke when you go back." Lancet also complimented, he never despised this marquis who gave up his territory, and in terms of status, the other party's status in the eyes of Atolis was much higher than that of his own duke who was born and died.
In fact, Lancet also knew a lot of things and merits of Gu Shanhai, so he didn't have the idea of why his title was higher than him but his status was lower than him.
"It's still Lancet who commands something, you are Your Majesty's most powerful knight, you are better than me in this aspect, otherwise Your Majesty would have arranged for you to come over, as long as you get to the place of the Holy Grail, you don't interfere with my research." Gu Shanhai spoke very bluntly.
fell into Lance's ears, he also nodded secretly, not only did he not need to fight for the right to speak and the right, but the other party was also very cooperative, and he naturally liked this kind of colleague very much.
"What is the use of this Holy Grail, Mr. Shanhai? I've heard before that it can make the kingdom of Kalomei stronger, is this true? Lancet is also an emotionally intelligent person, and quickly jumped back to the topic of the Holy Grail, for him, the right to command is quite sensitive and embarrassing, and it is not suitable to talk more, everyone just knows it in their hearts.
"Yes, this is true of what I predicted, but I don't know the specifics, and I need to see the Holy Grail until I see it." Gu Shanhai also said vaguely, and skipped the topic tacitly like Lancet.
The two chatted for a while, and the sky gradually darkened, but fortunately, everyone also brought camp tents, dry food, etc., and the cooking went quickly.
After eating and drinking, they sat around and chatted, after the war, the social status of wizards was actually much higher, at least everyone was once comrades-in-arms, and a lot of discrimination disappeared in it.
The druids also lost some of their original hatred, and the arrogance of the knights was much lowered.
Gu Shanhai was looking through books in the corner, and before leaving, he received a large number of resources, most of which were Atollis's compensation for his relinquishment of real power and territory, which could be regarded as a process of Gu Shanhai's realization, of course, there were also a large number of treasures, blessings, and so on.
The treasures were left in his portable laboratory, and the blessings were all intercepted, and they were kept for later study and did not use them for the first time.
In the book, he searched for the origin of the Sword of Stone, Gold, which is now a cursed sword, and its appearance has changed dramatically, and the sword body has taken on a spiral shape, like a magic sword.
In this regard, there is no corresponding existence in the information of the previous life, after all, the sword in the stone in the previous life is broken, not mutated.
However, if you want to talk about the spiral magic sword, Gu Shanhai knows one, the Kaladeboga in Celtic mythology, which means solid thunder and lightning, and is also the prototype of the sword in the stone in the legendary King Arthur's hand.
Gu Shanhai didn't know if there was a relationship between the two, and now that this kind of change had appeared, he couldn't help but think about it in this direction, after all, even the Dagda Cauldron could be turned into a holy grail, and it was not impossible for the sword in the stone to become a solid thunderbolt Caladeboga because of the curse, and the two were inextricably linked.
It's a pity that the spiral magic sword in his hand doesn't have the power of thunder, but after the changes over the years, the curse and bad luck have become stronger and stronger.
Thanks to Gu Shanhai's more and more refined skills in prophecy and divination over the years, he was still able to easily suppress this magic sword.
However, if it was to wait until the High Demon Era came, it was estimated that it would not be able to suppress it, but fortunately, Gu Shanhai did not plan to let the Spiral Demon Sword come into contact with the High Demon Era.
In addition, he is still looking for the Stone of Destiny, the Stone of Destiny is indeed broken into the sand of Destiny, but all of them have been collected by Gu Shanhai, even if he loses his power, he may be able to use it as a good material in the future.
Just thinking about it, Gu Shanhai heard a movement in the distance, it seemed that something was approaching, but he didn't remind him, because the reserved alarm had already sounded, whether it was a druid or a wizard, they all had corresponding magic and spells, and they dared to camp and chat in the wilderness, so they naturally had their own grasp.
The knights stood up decisively, took out their spears and swords, and looked at the night with a wary expression, while the druids were the transformations of transformations, the summoning of summons, and the wizards also summoned their own magic pets and were ready to cast spells at any time.
"Oh, dear knights, you are so nervous." A middle-aged man who was a little scruffy but dressed as an armored knight walked over: "I'm Bahrain, a knight of the wilderness, maybe you've heard my name." ”
The other party introduced himself, with a hint of banter in his tone.
Gu Shanhai knew this wilderness knight Balin, who was also a strong general of Atolis in his previous life, but unfortunately he didn't have many characteristics when he appeared, and he also killed his younger brother, also because of the curse of a sword.
A beautiful maiden arrives at the palace of Atollis with a sword and says that no one can pull up the sword that has troubled her for a long time, as it turns out, both Atolis and the other knights.
Only this ragged knight of the wilderness, Balin, pulled up.
If you want to draw this sword, you need a knight who has never committed obscenity, treachery and rebellious crimes, this point, every knight has more or less, at that time Callome has settled down, and the war at that time is not as large and tragic as the war in this life, so the knights are still very noble, and they are all good at messing around.
Bahrain was the only one who drew the sword but did not return it to the maiden, saying that if he wanted to get it back, he had to defeat him, and the maiden also prophesied that if he held the sword, Balin would go to ruin and use the sword to kill those close to him.
Needless to say, the prophecy came true.
And Bahrain, who got the sword, also left Atollis's side, presumably because the treatment was not good.
In this life, Bahrain has not kept up with Atolis, and it is true that it has changed too much, so now the other party is still wandering in the wilderness.
"I'm sorry, I've never heard of your name." Lancet's tone was solemn and stern, and he could see that the other party's strength was not bad.
"Tell me where you came from, if it's for the fire, we can give you extra wood, for food and water, we can give you a little water, if it's for anything else, we'll do our best to help." Gu Shanhai casually closed the book, and also got up and said.
This wilderness knight Balin is not stable, although the other party has not committed these three sins, judging from his later performance, he also has greed.
"Okay, okay, I'd like to borrow some wood to make a fire, and of course, it's better to have wine." Balin saw the vigilance of the people, and muttered in his heart: This group of people can't be people from the royal capital, right?
Gu Shanhai glanced at Lan Si, meaning that it was not good to kill people, so he sent something away.
Seeing this, Lancet also respected Gu Shanhai's opinion, and then signaled to the knight on the side, and the other party quickly took out some supplies and threw them away.
"Stay away from our camp, knight, and if we find out you have any bad intentions, we'll cut off your head and hang it in a tree!" Lancet warned, the reason is very simple, the other party is not a serious knight, it is estimated that he has done a lot of murder and goods on the road, the knight's expenses are not small, the other party's weapons and armor seem to be sloppy and can be maintained very properly, the other party does not look like he is rich.
In the wilderness, the emphasis is on the law of the jungle.
Balin picked up the supplies, muttered something in a whisper, then turned and walked into the darkness, and walked away with the sound of footsteps.
