The Warrior of Love

Therefore, even though Lancelot had disappeared, the spear did not waver at all.

Jiang Liu casually pulled out the spear and threw it into "Naraku". He put the magic spear away for the time being and then turned his attention to the last monster in the field.

"Let's talk, Guinevere."

The man smiled and said, "Let me help you find the Last King!"

"What?!" Guinevere was about to risk her life to escape, but she stopped when she heard this.

"But before that, hand over the Holy Grail first!"

Chapter 725: Warriors Guided by Destiny

The legend of the "Holy Grail" is widely circulated in the Western world. The most famous one is undoubtedly the cup used to collect the blood of God during the crucifixion of Christ.

However, the Christian mythology has only been around for two thousand years, and is a newcomer in the mythology world. The history passed down by some countries is longer than that of the Christian mythology.

Compared with the East, the Han Dynasty was halfway through, and a time traveler named Wang was busy fighting the Son of the Plane.

The legend of the Holy Grail of Christ cannot be said to be very long, so it must have a prototype, and more than one.

Among them, the Celtic "magic cauldron" is more famous, while the "magic cup" circulated in Caucasian mythology is closer to the image of the Holy Grail in later generations.

It is worth mentioning that Bartras, the great hero in the Nart epic, served as the guardian of the magic cup in his life.

This is also why he is obsessed with hunting down Guinevere and calls the "Holy Grail" the "Magic Grail".

Now that Jiang Liu has snatched the Holy Grail from Guinevere, it can be regarded as a correspondence to the allusion in the myth.

——Although the Holy Grail of the Witch King has nothing to do with the Holy Grail of Christ.

"It's amazing... Such a small cup actually contains cursed power equivalent to dozens of times that of a God Slayer."

Jiang Liu held a golden cup the size of a basketball in his hand. A hazy holy light was flowing on the surface, but the inside of the cup was in chaos, as if it was filled with thick fog and one could not see the situation clearly. One could even hear the sound of water when he shook it gently.

The blonde Guinevere stared at Jiang Liu and the Holy Grail in his hand, her eyes full of unwillingness and humiliation. But now she was at the mercy of others, and the absolute gap in strength left her with no hope of struggling. In the end, she could only lower her head and remain silent.

Jiang Liu glanced at her but didn't pay much attention. Most of his attention was focused on the Holy Grail.

This divine tool was originally taller than Guinevere and more like a "jar" than a "cup", but under the influence of secret magic, Athena transformed it into its current appearance, which is closer to the mythological records.

"How much of the goddess's life force has been absorbed..." Athena looked at the Holy Grail with mixed feelings.

For the Mother Goddess of Earth, this is undoubtedly the most valuable divine tool. With such a huge amount of spiritual support, Athena is confident that she can exert a power even more powerful than in ancient times.

But this is also the most disgusting divine tool... because it uses the life of the Mother Goddess as nourishment, and its growth to its current size proves that many goddesses have lost their lives because of it.

"Not too many goddesses were sacrificed."

As if she sensed Athena's disgust and murderous intent, Guinevere raised her head, bit her lip and spoke.

“This is a sacred vessel that Mother Earth created through her self-sacrifice. It possesses a huge amount of energy and normally passively attracts and refines the free energy in the earth veins.

Over the countless years, while we have been wandering the earth searching for our Lord, we have also been collecting various sacred tools and followers of the Earth Mother Goddess as nourishment for the Holy Grail.

The real goddess is too dangerous for us to handle... We were only able to capture her with luck a few times."

In other words, the enormous magical power in the Holy Grail mainly comes from the accumulation of time.

Guinevere was preparing to awaken the Last King. She must have carefully guarded the Holy Grail for thousands of years to have accumulated such an exaggerated scale.

But unfortunately, Jiang Liu has gained the advantage now!

If possible, Guinevere would rather die than hand over the Holy Grail.

After all, she has died more than once in these long years!

It’s just that she has a special secret method and a hidden holy grail as capital, so she can reincarnate successfully and make a comeback every time.

However, this time it is different. Not only is she targeted by the God-killing Demon King with the attribute of "Steel", but also the ancient Earth Mother Goddess who is above her in rank.

Facing the two people joining forces, she didn't even have a chance to be reborn!

If Guinevere dares to die, Athena will bury her!

"Wang, you really didn't lie to me?"

The blonde girl took a deep breath, prepared herself and asked boldly, "Do you really want to help me find my king?"

"Ok?"

Jiang Liu put away the Holy Grail and turned to Guinevere and said seriously: "Of course I didn't lie to you, and there is no need for me to do so."

The Witch King's eyes lit up, and her depressed mood due to the loss of the Holy Grail brightened up again.

"Thank you so much!"

"Don't thank me yet. I'm looking for the Last King to fight him."

Jiang Liu chuckled: "I am your enemy...Take me to find him, aren't you worried at all?"

"It's okay, my king won't mind."

Guinevere said with great confidence: "He is the strongest warrior. In addition to his mission to annihilate the Demon King, he also looks forward to facing powerful enemies. If he can meet you, it will be a great fortune for our king!"

The Witch King didn't seem surprised at all and easily accepted Jiang Liu's reason of "wanting to fight the Last King".

Perhaps, in her eyes, all godslayers are beasts, and it is normal for them to pursue powerful enemies.

But in fact, Jiang Liu was not doing it just for this.

Ever since he came to "God Slayer", he has always had a subtle feeling in his heart, as if he had forgotten something, and he is always vaguely uneasy.

He couldn't tell exactly why, but he could guess that something like "fate" and "cause and effect" was influencing him.

You must know that when one reaches Jiang Liu's level, one can also sense the invisible things in the dark.

Therefore, he is very sure that in "God Slayer" there is an existence similar to "restraint" or "heavenly way". It may not be as mature as Alaya in Type-Moon. It may be just a simple manifestation of rules, but it can still affect the humans and gods in this world.

Among his six great blessings, there is one [God's Favor o Planetary Brave], which makes it very easy for him to gain the favor of beings like the will of the planet.

Normally, this protection is not very impressive and provides almost no help in combat, but in worlds like Type-Moon and God Slayer, it has immeasurable value.

Anyway, Jiang Liu felt that he was obviously noticed by that invisible existence, and it was trying to guide him in a certain direction.

However, Jiang Liu had seen too many negative examples in Xingyue and was instinctively resistant to such things, so he never thought of obeying, but the cause and effect still kept entangled in him.

It was not until he heard the name of the "King of the Last" for the first time that he suddenly realized it. He had a sense of sudden enlightenment in his heart and understood where the cause and effect that would affect his future came from.

——The mysterious "fate" is looking forward to his encounter with the Last King!

Now that he has figured out the truth, Jiang Liu begins to wonder what kind of existence the "Last King" is, and how his encounter with him will end.

The second time he came to "God Slayer", he obviously didn't look for her very hard, but Guinevere appeared in front of him inexplicably, letting Jiang Liu know that the destiny had not disappeared, but was even "closer".

This time, he did not intend to dodge, but instead he would follow the guidance of cause and effect to challenge the king.

He wanted to see what the so-called "fate" could do to him!

Be it the Last King or the restraining force of this world, Jiang Liu is fearless!

Chapter 726: The Black Prince's Deal

Jiang Liu said that he supported Guinevere in her search for the Last King, but he was not just talking, he took actual action.

Under his orders, magic societies in most of Europe became active. Even the organizations that were originally loyal to Tony accepted his orders. His huge intelligence network and rich data records, things that outsiders could never see, all opened the door to convenience for Guinevere.

Including the "Council of Sages" headquartered in Greenwich. After the former Speaker Princess Alice visited Jiang Liu and asked about the ins and outs of the matter, she also handed over the research results of the "Council of Sages".

Before this, the God Ancestor and the "Council of Sages" had always been in a state of hostility. Alice and Guinevere were also old rivals, but when it came to handing over their research results, they were unusually straightforward and had no objections at all.

Because Alice knew very well that if there was only one God Ancestor, the "Council of Sages" would not be able to defeat him, but they would be able to deal with him. After all, the Black Prince was also looking for the whereabouts of Guinevere and the Holy Grail. The God Ancestor could only act in secret and could not target the "Council of Sages" in a big way.

But this time, Yuanshan Jiangliu, the strongest godslayer, is in charge, so no force or individual can stop his plan. In this case, there is no need to worry or hesitate, just try to cooperate.

Alice knew that Jiang Liu's strength was beyond the reach of ordinary godslayers, so she could only obey and did not dare to object.

After all, no matter how approachable Jiang Liu is, he is still a godslayer (devil king)!

Guinevere suddenly received such strong support, and her efficiency in collecting and analyzing intelligence increased by more than ten times?

For a moment, she, who had always acted cautiously in secret, was even a little uncomfortable with such an open investigation.

Just like that, the news that the new king Jiang Liu was looking for a certain God of Steel spread in the magic world. Some people were curious, some were afraid, and some were excited. It can be said that there was an undercurrent.

Soon, before Guinevere could figure out anything, Jiang Liu's new manor welcomed an uninvited guest.

At that time, Jiang Liu was playing chess with Athena in a small pavilion in the garden. Although it was the first time for the goddess of wisdom to play, she quickly mastered the rules and gradually became proficient, making it increasingly difficult for Jiang Liu to cope with them.

Just in time to sense the fluctuations of cursed power coming from the atmosphere, Jiang Liu let out a long sigh of relief, simply messed up the layout of the chess pieces on the board, and stood up leisurely.

Under Athena's contemptuous gaze, Jiang Liu looked up at the sky as if nothing had happened.

Zheng!

I saw a black lightning falling from the sky, it was powerful but unexpectedly quiet when it landed. A strong wind blew, the lightning converged, and a young man who looked quite gentleman walked out in the air wave.

The man looked to be in his late twenties, wearing a well-fitting suit made of fine material. His appearance and walking posture were meticulous, giving off the aura of a nobleman, completely different from an ordinary magician.

He has a handsome appearance and gives people an intellectual impression, but he always feels a little difficult to get close to.

If you just look at his appearance, everyone would think that he is a social elite like a lawyer or a doctor of science. However, in fact, his identity has exceeded the limitations of the secular world. He is one of the only seven "kings" in the world.

Alexander Gascoigne, commonly known as "Black Prince Alec", is the leader of the magic society "Royal Factory" and is considered the world's most proficient god killer in the field of "super speed"!

"Greetings, Your Excellency Yuanshan."

The Black Prince first greeted politely, then glanced around casually, and finally set his sights on Jiang Liu.

"Nice to meet you. I'm Alexander Gascoigne."

"I recognized him. After all, there are not many people who can appear like this."

Jiang Liu smiled, stretched out his hand and pointed, asking Alexander to sit on the empty seat in the pavilion.

"Although we are of the same clan, you and I have never met before, and we have no vested interests in each other. I wonder why you are visiting me this time?"

The Black Prince followed suit, sat down calmly, and spoke bluntly, "There is a rumor among magicians that Lord Yuanshan is looking for a God of Steel, and has successfully subdued the Witch Queen Guinevere and brought her under his command.

Excuse me, is this rumor true?"

"Half of it."

Jiang Liu had nothing to hide, so he said directly: "I am indeed looking for a disobedient god called the Last King, and Guinevere is also in my hands... But she has not been subdued, she is just powerless to resist, and can only do things for me unwillingly."

"I see. It seems that you have killed Lancelot the Disobedient."

The Black Prince was slightly moved, but soon calmed down.

Jiang Liu was not surprised that the Black Prince knew about Lancelot. These days, he would occasionally look through the information sent to him, which was not only about the research on mythology, but also about the secrets of the godslayer (mostly from the Council of Sages).

Therefore, he knew that the Black Prince, Guinevere, and the "Council of Sages" had been in a love-hate and entangled relationship for a long time.

The Black Prince must have seen Lancelot with his own eyes, and even fought with him, but what he saw was the "Shadow of God", while what Jiang Liu destroyed was the God of Disobedience.

"In that case, I'll just say it straight out: I want to borrow the Holy Grail."

"Holy Grail?"

"Yes, it is the sacred artifact of Mother Earth in Guinevere's hand."

The Black Prince paused and said, "I have also done some research on the 'Last King'. If you are willing to hand over the Holy Grail to me, I can transfer all of this research to you."

To be frank, there is probably no one in this world who is closer to the truth about the "Last King" than me. Even Guinevere may not know as much as I do.

With her "legacy" and my research results, I believe you will soon find the God of Steel."

The Holy Grail is an immortal divine tool that contains a huge amount of pure magical power. It is a very precious treasure even for the godslayer. However, Alexander's desire for the Holy Grail is not because of its value.

When Alexander was not yet the "Black Prince", he and his father had already begun the pursuit of the Holy Grail.

Alexander's father was a scholar and adventurer who was obsessed with various mysterious events and died while pursuing the Holy Grail.

After that, Alexander inherited his father's adventurous journey, and luckily killed a god in an accident, becoming the "Black Prince".

But even after becoming the king, he did not forget to look for the Holy Grail, and as a result he had a series of contacts with Guinevere, Alice and others.

In other words, the Holy Grail is not just a sacred object for the Black Prince, but also a "symbol" in a sense, an obsession of two generations of father and son.

He is determined to obtain the Holy Grail!

"That sounds tempting."

Jiang Liu nodded, but then shook his head again.
