Chapter 472, Sipping the Holy Grail

In Britannia, there is an extremely ancient legend that shortly after the first knight King Arthur passed away due to illness, a green knight appeared in the mountains and forests of Brittania.

He has always been silent, except for very few special cases, he almost never speaks anything, but his power is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people, he is the guardian of the Kingdom of Britannia Knights, and he is also a household name in the entire kingdom .

He appears in the mountains and forests, walks in the shade of the great old trees, moves in the clear waters of the lakes, appears in the waterfalls, and fights the evil that defiles the sacred places of the lakes.

There is no doubt that the main enemy of the Green Knight is the Beastmen. In the thousands of years of war, the Green Knight is very likely to have slaughtered tens of thousands of Beastmen by himself, which made him the king of the Beastmen. The title of "Soul Killer".

He is the champion personally awarded by the fairy in the lake, a demigod who walks in the world, and the only existence in Britannia that surpasses the sanctuary in strength.

The green light shone on the dim yellow woodland, and Karad swallowed his saliva. First, he felt joy from the bottom of his heart, and then he was serious as if he was facing a big enemy.

He held the Excalibur Durandal tightly in his hand, waiting for the Green Knight's reaction.

For the expedition knights, the appearance of the green knight represents an important symbol of the expedition.

That is, Calad's Holy Grail Crusade is about to face an important test.

The Green Knight will challenge the Expeditionary Knight to test his martial arts and piety. This duel is a true championship duel. The Expeditionary Knight must use all his skills, otherwise if he loses, he will be killed. Danger.

This is not nonsense, some ignorant people often raise their own doubts in the tavern to the narrations of bards and even holy grail knights, that is, why the green knight with demigod strength would attack the expeditionary knight with general strength of legendary rank ?

The only reasonable explanation is that the green knight never exerts all his strength, and it is difficult for weapons to cause damage to the green knight. The sword and arrow penetrate the green knight's body, just like passing through the morning mist lightly, and nothing can be cut. No matter how badly the Green Knight was injured, he would never die. There was once an expeditionary knight who directly beheaded the Green Knight by relying on his formidable bravery, but the Green Knight just picked up his head calmly and left.

The figure of the green knight was illusory, his emerald green eyes were hidden in the helmet, looking at Karard, the green knight said: "Knight who travels far, accept my test."

"Please." Karad nodded calmly, the time to fight has come.

The Green-Eyed King rode on a steed that was no longer alive,

This war horse spewed green smoke, and its figure loomed in the illusion, just like the green knight himself. The opponent was in an illusion. Except for the sword of pain in his hand, Karard even doubted whether the opponent really existed.

The coolness in his heart permeated the heart and lungs of the expeditionary knights, and Calad gradually realized that just looking at such a mysterious thing brought him terrible pressure.

The Green Knight obviously didn't intend to give Karard a chance to breathe. When he noticed that the opponent had mounted his horse and was ready to fight, the Green Knight immediately steered his mount and charged.

So fast! It's so fast! Just as Karard forced himself to turn his attention back, the charge of the Green-Eyed King was already close at hand. His forward steps were like phantoms, piercing through all obstacles, and the illusory figure let the branches scrape against his armor. In the blink of an eye, he was close to Callad.

"Come!" Calad was thinking the holy words of the fairy of the lake in his heart. He held the divine sword left to him by Jules with both hands. A golden flame was burning on the divine sword, urging the horse, and the sharp blade A circular arc was drawn in the air, and the challenge sounded from his mouth echoed a peculiar melody. The infinite anger surrounded Karard's will, and Durandal's fierce sword pointed straight at the green knight's head.

The Green Knight faced Karad's challenge without saying a word, and the green sword of pain in his hand slashed at Karad with a power that split the sky and the earth.

"铛~" The intense sparks from the clash of swords made Karad barely open his eyes. This blow from the Green Knight was enough to kill him several times. The Expeditionary Knight cleverly used his power to block the Green Knight's Attack, the figures of both sides crossed.

This is the first round.

"Come again!" Expeditionary Knight squinted his eyes, he felt the opponent's strength, and Karard roared almost as if trying to be brave: "Use all your abilities! Green-eyed King!"

"..." The green knight turned a deaf ear to Karard's words, and the green-eyed king just turned his horse's head, faced Karard again, and charged.

The green figure turned into a shooting star, just as imagined, the green knight ignored any terrain restrictions, his movement was not affected by the branches of the forest and the muddy ground at all, his movements were like a phantom of destruction, only The sword of pain in his hand exuded an astonishing killing intent, and there was no emotion in the eyes of the green-eyed king.

Callard wasn't sure what the reason for that was, lost all human emotion in the Millennium War? Or is it that the other party is not human?

The Expeditionary Knight didn't know. What he knew was that if he didn't cheer up, he might be killed. The Green Knight never showed mercy to the Expeditionary Knight.

I will not lose! Accompanied by fear came a strong fighting spirit, and Karad clenched the Excalibur in his hand.

Durandal has witnessed the glory and end of Ulles, and now this sword will also witness his.

fighting! ! !

Callard yelled angrily, he only felt the flame of anger ignited in his chest, the lady's knight will never admit defeat! no way!

"Clang!" Durandal and the Blade of Pain clashed again, and the blade in the Green Knight's hand spun back and forth. In one round, Calad faced the Green Knight's six onslaughts, and the edge of the Blade of Pain radiated a cold light that devoured everything.

"Uh! Uh!" Callard frantically resisted the Green Knight's attack. He flipped the blade, and the flames burning on Durandal's blade forced the Green Knight to take back the Blade of Pain. The horses staggered, and the second The round ends here.

Turning the horse's head, Karad held his sword tightly in both hands: "Come again!"

"..." The green knight didn't say a word.

The battle starts again.

Just in the forest of Arden, in the mist belonging to the Green Knight, a great championship showdown kicked off.

Calad's posture is like an angry lion, he proudly and proudly showed his strength, challenging the Green Knight who occupies the lion king's seat.

The green knight's fighting style is a lion king who dominates the herd. He enjoys the champion duel from the challenger with ease. The green-eyed king has never said a word, and his power flows endlessly like an eternal waterfall. Swinging, the strength of the green-eyed king is stronger than before.

The collision between the Blade of Pain and Durandal is endless, and the strength of the expedition knight Karard is even three points stronger than that of the ordinary Holy Grail knight. As a legendary peak powerhouse, Karard has gained countless in two years of experience. Having already integrated his riding, swordsmanship and spirit, he kept pace with the Green Knight's growing strength through endless martial arts and the blessing of the goddess.

The crazy tug of war has begun.

In the mist, the brave expeditionary knight and the legendary green knight began a never-ending battle.

The confrontation of the gods resounded in the forest, and it seemed that only the Expeditionary Knight and the Green Knight were left in the sky and the earth. The fierce battle seemed to return to the time when Britannia was founded. Defend the country as it battles endless enemies.

This is a championship match that is destined not to belong to ordinary people.

Time lost its meaning, the sky lost its color, everything lost its existence, and all that was left was the fighting figure of Karard and the Green Knight.

The sun rises and sets, from the crisp morning, from the morning when the sun rises, to the afterglow of the sunset and the evening when the night falls, and then to the cool morning, the championship battle continues.

Callard's horses could no longer hold on. The Expeditionary Knight chose to fight on foot, while the Green Knight was obviously seeking a fair duel. The horse fight became a foot fight. three rounds...

fifty rounds...

One hundred rounds...

Two hundred rounds...

When the champion duel reached the 500th round, two days and one night had passed.

Callard was full of scars. Even the dwarf's plate armor engraved with runes couldn't resist the green knight's attack. Although he was covered in blood, Callard was full of energy and never tired. The expedition knight silently recited the names of Jules and Anara, His scarred body and tortured heart never compromised with the enemy.

It was an oath he made to Julles' body, and he would keep it until he became a Grail Knight...or until he died.

Contrary to his imagination, the green knight stood in front of him but did not raise the blade of pain again. The eyes of the green-eyed king seemed to flash a sense of recognition and regret for a moment. Karad didn't understand why, but He immediately adjusted his breathing and continued to fight.

Durandal was still as sharp as ever after two days and one night of hard fighting. The expedition knight instinctively chopped Durandal to the green-eyed king, but the green knight avoided it. Holding his neck with one hand, the expedition knight was lifted up on the spot, and the green phantom ruthlessly used his other hand, and slammed it hard on Calad's chest.

The expedition knight felt his ribs broken on the spot. Enduring the pain in his internal organs, he pierced the Green Knight's shoulder with the Excalibur.

The green knight didn't seem to be hurt. He calmly threw Karard far away. When Karard's body hit the water, he realized that the place where he fought had turned into a lake. In the lake, the fairy blessed him In the middle, he stands on the crystal clear lake water, the reflection of the lake water reflects the face of the expedition knight.

The strength of the whole body is gradually fading away, and Karard understands that he is a mortal after all, and he cannot win the victory against the mighty Green Knight, even if he has the blessing of the fairy of the lake, even if he has a strong will and the will of Ulles , it is impossible for him to fight like this forever.

So what is the point of this challenge? His strength has long been far superior to many ordinary Holy Grail knights! He shouldn't be the one to fail!

Something must have gone wrong, the crusade knight recalled Jules' teachings.

"Chivalry is not a spirit that guides us to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages."

"Some things are more precious than life."

"The Holy Grail makes me strong and long-lived, and I have to take my responsibility."

It was another round of confrontation, and Karard was forced to retreat again. The Green Knight seemed to have given up using the blade of pain. He still looked at Karard calmly, as if waiting for something.

"Humility, honesty, mercy, valor, justice, sacrifice, honor, soul." Karad silently recited the teachings of the fairy in the lake. on the knight.

The wind passes, the lake moves, the wind stops, the lake is quiet.

When the bright moonlight was reflected on the lake from the sky, the Crusade Knight knew everything.

"Plop." Callard put down Durandal, and the expeditionary knight had tears in his eyes. He knelt down on one knee and handed over his life to the green knight for execution: "The duty of a knight is to protect, not to destroy. My strength, I My soul, my will will protect the land that the lady gave us and fight, relying on my own strength, the abuse of force will only add more blood and hatred to the mortal world, and my sharp sword exists only for protection."

After speaking, Callard gave up the championship matchup.

The green knight nodded slowly, and the mist filled the sky.

A ray of beautiful singing gradually sounded from the lake, it was an ancient elf song, and the beautiful voice like the sound of nature rolled under the lake, and the white moonlight shrouded the entire lake.

In the radiance that belongs to the gods, the graceful figure of the fairy in the lake appeared from under the water surface. She wore a golden corolla on her head, and her golden hair, as soft as silk, hung straight down to her ankles. Her silk dress of emeralds and iris petals was engraved with countless ancient words, and her indescribable beauty was displayed before the expeditionary knights.

"My lady!" Callard knelt down on his knees, the bright golden light enveloped the expedition knight, the fairy in the lake smiled, she watched the knight kneeling in front of her, her voice was like a clear spring in the mountains, refreshing From the heart: "Calade de Gallamente, you have proved your martial prowess and your virtue."

The expedition knight only felt his heart beating faster, his face was burning hot, and he lowered his head, Karad did not dare to look directly at the beauty of the goddess: "My lady...I..."

"The Holy Grail was not obtained by the knights." The fairy in the lake was still smiling, and her voice made the expedition knights feel ashamed: "It was obtained by the knights themselves. You have proved that you are worthy of the Holy Grail The brave, there is no doubt."

"Now, this is your reward." The goddess held the golden holy grail in her hands like white jade, and the pure and glowing serum was rippling in the cup: "Don't forget, you are a knight dedicated to spreading the virtues of chivalry and the glory of justice." , so I give you the Holy Grail."

"Thank you very much." When the holy grail inlaid with precious stones approached Calad's dry lips, the expedition knight finally lowered his head and took a sip from the holy grail.

His body was changed forever.

After drinking the water of the Holy Grail, Calad's soul was flooded with infinite power. His eyes were red, and a faint spiritual light emanated from them. His body was completely healed, and golden light flowed in his body.

His height became taller, and his appearance became younger. The weathered face and wrinkles around his eyes disappeared under the power of the Holy Grail. At the same time, a terrifying aura erupted from his chest.

This expeditionary knight who suffered a lot, lost his mentor, and lost his relatives officially advanced to the sanctuary.

"Go back, go back to your territory...Kalad." The figure of the lake fairy descended slowly in the lake, and her long golden hair was gradually submerged by the lake: "Fulfill your duty, my holy grail knight."

"I will." The newly promoted Holy Grail Knight knelt down again full of piety.

The Green Knight also disappeared, leaving only the lonely figure of Karard on the calm lake.

The moon is full and mid-heaven.
