Chapter 131: The Cauldron and the Holy Spear
The knight hiding in the corner shivered and trembled.
He had never seen such a huge, terrifying monster!
Just stepping on the ground, the vibration was enough to make the knight's whole body tingle!
After the knight fled from Mr. Thunder, he was looking for the Holy Lance.
The knight's idea was simple.
He was the weaker side compared to the antlers. The twilight path is good at prolonging one's life, while the adaptation path is good at hiding. If two dead were to be found among the three of them, the knight thought he should be one of them.
Then all he could do was to find the Holy Spear.
- Since the Holy Lance can defeat the giants, it should also be able to defeat Aleister!
Although once you get the Holy Lance, everyone else will know where it is...... But if you can stand up to Aleister, you won't be afraid of his attacks; If the Holy Spear is not enough to defeat him, he will be caught up and killed sooner or later.
And if Antlers and the Assassin who killed Mr. Cloud sensed the Holy Lance and rushed over, he could try to kill one of them, or have Alest, who was also lured in, kill him!
He was undoubtedly the weakest of them.
Because of this, there is no luck in the knight's heart - he is already weak, and he must use the most risky means to win!
Then the question arises.
- Where will the holy spear be placed?
The knight's way of thinking can even be called simple:
Since this ritual was constructed by the silver-crowned dragon and the serpent father, there were no pillar gods such as Weizhe and Hourglass, who loved wise people. In other words, the riddle of this ritual should not be complicated, and everyone has the opportunity to do it.
- If the puzzle is too complicated for me to imagine, then others probably can't! The Silver Crowned Dragon and the Snake Father are unlikely to give preferential treatment to those who are on the path of balance and wisdom, so the puzzle must be simple!
Thinking about it from this perspective, the knight began to torture himself: what should be the clue from the intuitive judgment?
He quickly settled on a plan: when it comes to the path of consecration, it is light and fire, that is, the candlestick, that is, the light.
Since the target he was looking for was the holy spear left behind by the Apostle of the Path, and all around him was darkness...... Then he just needs to run to the place where there is light, and he must be right!
This should be the hint left by the pillar god!
It turned out that the knight really got it right.
He walked straight along the light, and soon arrived at a brightly lit Hall of Giants.
In the center of the hall is a huge pot.
There is no fire underneath the pot, but the food inside is constantly boiling.
A large number of stews were boiling in the pot, and many of the stewed vegetables were pushed out of the pot by the boiling water and fell to the ground. The knight saw eggplant, carrots, onions, corn, cabbage, potatoes, and apples and grapes inside. Food keeps pouring out of the pot, more and more, and taller and higher.
The pot was constantly simmering, its heat clouding the air around it. And the steaming water vapor made the whole room damp and blurry.
This should be the cauldron!
The knight thought to himself.
And just as he was about to take a closer look, he suddenly heard a thudding sound.
"Hey......"
An extremely low, somewhat old voice sounded: "What the hell is going on......"
The voice sounded slightly annoyed.
But soon, the huge bed creaked, and a pair of giant red-haired feet stepped on the ground.
The moment he stood up, it was like covering the sky and the sunβ
A huge shadow casts down and covers him completely. It was as if the sky had collapsed and a huge thing had fallen, and the knight's legs were a little weak in an instant.
He couldn't even see the giant's face because the light was too low. When the giant stood up, his face went dark.
But even so, the knight could clearly smell a foul smell.
He couldn't tell why, but he could clearly catch the smell of fur-bearing beasts.
He was so frightened that he cowered in a corner and couldn't move.
Fortunately, the giant doesn't seem to have very good static vision. The knight didn't move, and he didn't see anyone touching him.
He just lit the lantern and left the hall barefoot.
It wasn't until the giant had left long ago that the knight could vaguely feel that the ground was still shaking. He didn't know if it was some kind of hallucination caused by the numbness of his body from the initial vibration, or if it was indeed able to shock him from a long distance...... Anyway, it took him a long time before he finally recovered.
- Is such a giant really something we can kill?
The knight suddenly came to his senses.
His ambition to get his hands on the Holy Spear and slay giants has now made him look like a clown.
And the "part of the real history" he heard from the dark clouds also complicated his mood at the moment - how did the Knights of the Round Table, who were still ordinary humans back then, defeat such a powerful army of giants?
Are they too weak? Or maybe the ancestors were too strong?
In any case, can't wait here -
Although the giants did not see themselves when they went out, they may find out when they return.
With his numb legs, he searched the hall for the Holy Spear.
- At the very least, find a drawer to hide in!
Before he knew it, the knight had changed his first target. After seeing the giant, he immediately realized that even Alestal would not be able to defeat such a giant. On the other hand, if you can hide under the nose of a giant, then you may survive to the end.
As long as he survives to the end, he has the possibility of victory!
But ironically.
As the knight searches for a drawer that he can get into...... He accidentally found the location of the holy spear.
"That's ...... What. β
The knight looked up and muttered in a low voice of despair.
Despite the lack of contact, the knight was sure at a glance that it was the Holy Lance.
It was a golden spear more than ten meters long, and it looked like a stowed umbrella. The outer ring was densely engraved with black runes, ancient characters that the knight could not read.
It appears to be solid. Even if such a gun was shortened to a tenth, he would probably have a hard time picking it up.
It's no wonder that only the Holy Spear can shatter the Cauldron - the Cauldron that looks taller than a human house can only be broken by a human spear!
In front of the cauldron, the human gun is probably like a needle for sewing clothes and a cauldron for boiling soup.
There is no doubt that this is the gun used by the giants.
And I'm afraid that the giant holding this gun is even taller and bigger than the giant who just got off the bed!
- How can a mortal hold that gun?!
"Need help?"
At that moment, a low, hoarse voice rang out.
With a cold breath coming, it only made the chivalry that was scorched by the terrible heat emitted by this cauldron and the skin tightened and the spirit was in a trance.
He turned his head and looked in the direction where the voice had come from.
I saw Aleister standing quietly at the entrance of the hall. That's where he had just come and where the giant had just left.
In the distance, noises that attracted giants appeared, and now Aleister appeared in front of him......
The knight suddenly - he was probably the last.
"Are you going to kill me?"
But to Aivus's surprise, the knight breathed a sigh of relief instead, and raised his hand to signal that he was not going to resist: "Can you let me say a few words?" β
"I'm not going to kill you."
Aleister looked at him calmly, "You said it yourselfβat the end of the day, you will work with me and the Grey Hooded Mister."
"Now it's the last moment. To prevent others from interfering...... Except for the three of us, everyone else is dead.
"Or ...... Mr. Knight, you were just talking big things to deceive me? β
At this point, another man emerged from the shadows without a sound, looked at the knight quietly, and disappeared quietly.
"So you're not dead?!"
The knight blurted out.
He thought the assassin must be dead!
At this time, he felt a little in a trance - he was obviously a demon, but he was so honest.
Compared to the antlers, they are undoubtedly weak.
But Aleister prefers to work with him...... Is it just because he has shown him real kindness?
"The identity of the outside world has nothing to do with the ritual, we are competitors, adversaries and potential allies...... That's what you said yourself, right? β
Aleister chuckled, "I'm serious." Didn't you advise me not to talk to them? β
ββ¦β¦ So you believed me at that time. β
Mr. Knight felt a warmth in his heart and muttered in a low voice.
All the secrets of the authoritarian path, about the history of Avalon...... All of this is a lie, a history that has been modified.
Now, as a demon who transcends the path...... Aleister, however, showed him what integrity is.
The misconceptions of the past and the present are repeatedly intertwined, making the knight a little trance for a while. He didn't know who he should trust, who was right and who was righteous.
"Mr. Aleister," the knight couldn't help asking, "are you a good man?" β
"Maybe it is, maybe it isn't."
Aleister smiled and didn't give an answer.
He just asked rhetorically, "Do you care so much about this?" Good people will always be good people, and bad people can never be good people?
"Who defines the good guys and the bad guys? Is it the morality of your heart? Or the laws of Avalon? β
Hearing this answer from Aleister, the knight opened his mouth.
He was silent for a moment, then suddenly made up his mind.
"My name is Barton. People call me 'Moveful Barton'. β
"The Knight" named Patton said earnestly, "You never hid your real name, and I would feel guilty if I still used 'Knight' to communicate with you." I'm going to tell you at least my last name.
"If only you could call me Barton, Mr. Aless."
Barton finally couldn't help but ask, "There's something I want to ask you......
How did you get on the path of transcendence? Do you think I'm possible? β
