I'm tied to Athena.

"Notify the Council of Sages that I will be meeting their former president tomorrow."

"Yes!" Although she was very curious about why Li Yun wanted to go to the Council of Sages, since the other party said so, Liliana could only do as he said.

When Liliana went down to notify them, Li Yun and the others each chose a house and planned to rest for a night.

Although gods don't get tired, human habits have been maintained to this day.

Well...Although Li Yun was planning to rest, the goddesses didn't seem to let him rest, so he worked hard all night...

The following two thousand words are omitted

Chapter 289 The Holy Grail

The headquarters of the Council of Sages is located in the Greenwich area of ​​the Fog City, but Li Yun and his friends' current destination is not the headquarters of the Council of Sages.

He had already said that he was going to meet the former Speaker of the Council of Sages.

As for why he didn't let the other party come in person, it was mainly because Li Yun would not let someone who would die if he moved his body come to see him.

Sitting in a luxury car, Li Yun arrived at Hampstead, one of the most upscale residential streets in the foggy city.

At a corner of this street, there is a mansion that looks like an ancient city.

A vast courtyard, a four-story building, and four towers. If I had to describe it in words, it would be luxurious.

However, there are many such grandly designed residential buildings on this street, so it does not stand out very much. However, the people living here do stand out.

The daughter of Duke Godetin, Alice Louise Op Nafar, is the former speaker of the Greenwich Council of Sages and current special advisor. Because of her identity, she has many nicknames, such as the White Witch and Princess Alice.

When Li Yun stepped out of the sedan, the woman standing at the door came up with the maid behind her, "Greetings to you, King."

This is a woman with glasses and a serious face who looks to be about thirty years old. Her name is Patricia Ericson. She is Princess Alice's tutor and also the person she trusts most.

When Alice learned that Li Yun was coming to disturb her today, she called Yi Lixin over.

"The princess has been waiting inside for a long time."

Li Yun came alone this time, because Athena was the only one who came last night, so Li Yun used his supernatural power to make her completely obedient, well... although he himself felt a little weak when walking now.

As for the other goddesses, they were playing their favorite games in the castle.

After all, we are just going to ask some questions, there is no need for so many people to act together.

Following Yi Lixin, Li Yun came to the courtyard.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Princess Alice enjoying the scenery in the sun with a scarf draped over her shoulders.

She has beautiful platinum blonde hair and wears a gorgeous robe that perfectly sets off her beautiful figure. Her delicate face gives people the feeling as if they have seen an angel.

"It's our first meeting, King. Please forgive me for my physical disability and the fact that I can only sit here to greet you." Alice apologized gracefully. "I have asked someone to prepare tea and snacks. I hope they will suit your taste."

The White Witch Alice not only possesses extraordinary intelligence and beauty, but also has talents that everyone else envies.

That's right, she is the most powerful witch in the world. She can easily learn any magic. For others, spells that are very difficult are as easy as eating and drinking water. She can even use her ability to take the initiative to peek into the future.

The only pity is that her body cannot withstand the power brought by this overly powerful talent, so her body has been in a half-dead state.

But on the other hand, she used her powerful talent to condense her own spiritual body, which could act on behalf of her real body.

This spirit is no different from a human except that it cannot eat, which is very convenient for Alice.

But Alice knew very well that she was going to meet the king this time, and it would be too rude to use a substitute, so she reluctantly used her real body today.

"I've heard about your story to some extent, so don't worry about it. Besides, I don't have any requirements for food." Li Yun sat opposite Alice and crossed his hands on the table, "You know the purpose of my visit this time."

"I can only guess that the king was planning to look for His Royal Highness the Black Prince, but since he couldn't find His Royal Highness the Black Prince, he came to me."

"You are not wrong. My first choice is the Black Prince, and my second choice is you." Li Yun had done a thorough investigation before coming. The Black Prince Gascoigne and Alice had known each other for twelve years. It was no exaggeration to say that they were childhood sweethearts. Based on his previous experience of watching anime, he guessed that there must be something wrong with these two guys.

Therefore, it doesn't matter if he can't find the Black Prince, Alice must have the information he needs.

"I want to know all about the Holy Grail."

"Holy Grail?" Alice widened her eyes. Even though she had anticipated the questions Li Yun might ask, she had never considered the possibility of the Holy Grail.

Holy Grail, I believe no one is unfamiliar with this term. Whether people in the magic world or ordinary people, they have all heard of this term to some extent.

According to legend, at the Passover dinner before Jesus' crucifixion, after sending Judas Iscariot away, Jesus shared a wine cup with the eleven disciples. Before parting, he took the cup and told the disciples to drink the red wine in it, which symbolized his blood. Because of this, many people believe that the cup was not filled with wine, but the real blood of Jesus.

Since then, many myths and legends have described the possibility of rejuvenation and resurrection from the dead by obtaining the Holy Grail.

Although this may be an exaggeration, people in the magic world have always believed that the Holy Grail has powers they do not know about, and they are constantly searching for the whereabouts of the Holy Grail.

"Well, it's rude to ask, but why do you want information about the Holy Grail?" Alice hesitated for a while, and finally took the risk of asking Li Yun about his purpose.

"Of course it's for the Last King." Li Yun said calmly, which shocked Alice. "The Holy Grail is related to the God of Steel, isn't it?"

The Holy Grail is connected to the God of Steel, which was something Gascoigne had told Alice a long time ago.

He is the person who has done the most in-depth research on the Holy Grail in this era, and is also the person closest to the knight Galahad who once obtained the Holy Grail. Because of this, he knows many secrets of the Holy Grail that others do not know, and he thinks the most important of them is the connection between the Holy Grail and the God of Steel.

He only told this news to his trusted subordinates and Alice, and no one else knew about it. But why... this king who seemed to appear out of nowhere knew this news! ?

"The last...king?"

He also mentioned the Last King. Gascoigne only discovered this news in the past two years... How much does he know, and what is the purpose of pursuing the Holy Grail and the Last King?

"I believe you are a smart person, so you know very well what you should do, right." Li Yun chuckled, and there was a threat hidden in that seemingly gentle smile.

She seems to have no choice...

Chapter 290: British Bloody Stories

"I believe you have also heard the story of the Holy Grail circulating outside, so I won't explain it in detail." Alice finally chose the smart approach, and she began to tell Li Yun the truth about the Holy Grail.

"The so-called Holy Grail, in the eyes of the people in the magic world, is a container that holds great magical power. Among the many predecessors who pursued the Holy Grail, there was also a saying that 'it is a sacred container that is connected to the earth'."

"While searching for the Holy Grail, His Highness the Black Prince discovered the news that 'the Holy Grail is connected to the God of Steel'."

"No...it's more of a symbiosis than a relationship."

"Symbiosis?" A hint of thought flashed across Li Yun's eyes at this new word. He knew that the Holy Grail and the God of Steel were connected, but he did not know that the God of Steel and the Holy Grail had a symbiotic relationship.

"Yes, His Highness the Black Prince once deliberately investigated many places in order to track down the Holy Grail. The final result was as I said above, 'The Holy Grail is closely related to the earth and the God of Steel'."

"However, His Highness the Black Prince once thought that the God of Steel, which is connected to the earth, would also be connected to the Holy Grail, but this turned out not to be the case. The relationship between the three is not a triangle, but a straight line."

"Yes, the Holy Grail is in the middle, and the God of Earth and the God of Steel are on both sides. The two are connected by the Holy Grail."

"At the same time, not every god of steel is associated with the Holy Grail."

"I know this. There is only one god related to the Holy Grail. And the god I'm looking for is him." Li Yun nodded to indicate that he knew the news. "Then, did Gascoigne tell you who this god is?"

"Yes, he once told me that the most likely candidate is Britain's most legendary king, King Arthur."

King Arthur, the red dragon of Britain, the most legendary king... Well, the first image that came to Li Yun's mind was a quilt that could bankrupt a country...

"Since you can mention the Last King, you should be aware of his characteristics. Among all the information pointing to the Last King, there is one that says, 'The Legendary King will not remain in the past, he will awaken in the future world and descend as King again.'"

"And in the legend of King Arthur, there is a very similar tip to this information, 'Here lies Arthur, the past and future king.'"

In fact, all gods know the identity of the Last King, but they cannot tell it to humans. This is the restriction that the God of Destiny places on gods.

Originally, Li Yun, as a god, was not among those to be silenced, but the bad thing was that the bastard God of Fate tampered with the memories of both Athena and Metis.

Among Li Yun and his group, only Athena and Metis are local gods, so they naturally know the news about the Last King. However, in order to prevent Li Yun and his group from finding him, the Goddess of Fate also blocked their memories, making it impossible for them to tell him who the Last King is.

Otherwise, what Li Yun should consider now is not who the last king is, but how to wake up the last king.

"So, the last king is Arthur?"

"No, I once discussed the story about Arthur with His Royal Highness the Black Prince, and it turned out to be a fictional story. So we speculate that King Arthur was created based on a certain god. And that god is much older and more powerful than King Arthur."

"It's been a long time, isn't it?" Li Yun was a little disappointed.

"King, you don't have to feel disappointed. Although I don't have any more news, I think someone can tell you everything you want to know." Alice's eyes revealed a hint of foxiness: "In fact, during the Black Prince's quest for the Holy Grail, he met a very strange witch. That witch called herself - Guinevere."

"Hmm?" A trace of surprise appeared on his face. Guinevere? Is she the woman who, if we look at it from the perspective of a female protagonist, has a plot that is even more Mary Sue than Mary Sue?

Guinevere, King Arthur's wife, in the story, had a spiritual affair with Lancelot because of loneliness. After the affair was exposed, she followed Lancelot to France. Then Lancelot felt that this was unfair to King Arthur, so he sent her back to Britain.

King Arthur forgave her and made her queen again, but she could not forgive her own betrayal, so she gave up her position as queen and became a nun...well, a nun at that time.

Then, under the instigation of the knights, King Arthur chose to go to France and sent Mordred to guard Camelot. But King Arthur did not expect that as soon as he left, Mordred started a rebellion and occupied the holy city of Camelot in one fell swoop.

After Mordred occupied Camelot, he ran to Guinevere and said to her: "When I become king, you will be my queen!"

Upon hearing the news, King Arthur rode back from France as fast as he could to fight Mordred. But before the battle, he ran to Guinevere and said to her, "When I come back, you will be my queen again."

Well, a very iconic flag.

Guinevere was moved by his sincerity and agreed to his request with tears.

The final ending...well, Mordred and King Arthur died together.

After both of them died, Lancelot ran back and said he wanted to see Guinevere again. But at this time, Guinevere was already heartbroken and decided to use the rest of her life to save the world and never meet Lancelot again.

Judging from the plot alone, it can only be described as bloody. Even in modern times, it is bloody to the extreme.

"Yes, that's Guinevere. Although I don't know if she is the real Guinevere, she is a witch who suddenly appeared after His Highness the Black Prince had finished investigating the Holy Grail. The Black Prince speculated that she was also part of the search for the Holy Grail in this era."

As if seeing through Li Yun's thoughts, Alice gave an affirmative answer.

"Really..." Li Yun narrowed his eyes, "Although you told me the news, I don't know how to find Guinevere, right?"

"Others may not be able to find her, but you can definitely do it." Alice said in a positive tone, "Witches are all descendants of the Earth Mother Goddess. They all have the blood of the Mother Goddess in their bodies to a greater or lesser extent. And you have so many Earth Mother Goddesses around you. Isn't it a simple matter to find her?"

"Is there such a saying?" Li Yun was stunned when he heard this for the first time. Witches are... descendants of the Earth Mother Goddess? In other words, my descendants

Chapter 291 Guinevere

After coming out of Alice's mansion, Li Yun returned to the castle. He told the goddesses the news he had received, and then the goddesses looked at Athena and Metis one after another.

As the native gods of this world, if there is anyone who can detect the traces of the witch, it is only them.

But speaking of it, the witches and miko in this world all refer to the same type of people.

They possess superior talents to ordinary people and can use magic that ordinary people cannot use, such as the ability to see into the future.

The reason why they have such power is because they possess the power of the God Ancestor in their bodies.

The so-called God Ancestors are the Earth Mothers who were defeated by dragon slayers or war gods. The defeated Earth Mothers became weak and corrupted due to their defeat, or were driven off the throne like Athena, and thus became non-human beings with human bodies.

In other words, they are powerful beings that are not as powerful as gods but surpass humans - immortal girls.

After losing their status as gods, some of these girls became disheartened and hid themselves from the world, while others chose to indulge themselves and marry humans.

And among these self-indulgent girls...well, it's just as you think, although the probability is very small, it is not impossible.

The child of man and god was born.

"Let me try. I'll borrow some of your power, too." Athena and Metis looked at each other, then they worked together to sense the witches in the world.

Of course, Athena would not waste her energy on those useless witches. The only ones who could attract her attention were those with superhuman talents like Yuri Manrigai and Alice.

With Britain as its center, Athena's divine power expanded to the whole of Europe, Asia, and America, and then covered the entire world!

The search lasted about ten minutes. When Athena opened her eyes again, the goddesses looked at her expectantly, "How is it, did you find it?"

However, Athena responded by gently shaking her head, "No, I have searched for witches all over the world, but I have not found any suspicious witches."

"Did you use some special means to shield yourself?"

"It's possible."

The goddesses all thought that Guinevere should use special means to block her own breath, but in this way, there would be no way to find her.

"Not necessarily... Athena's detection is not something that everyone can block." However, Li Yun had a different idea from them, "Although the other party claims to be Guinevere, we still subconsciously believe that she is the descendant of the God Ancestor. What if, I mean, what if... she is the God Ancestor?"

"!?" The goddesses were stunned, and Athena was the first to react, "You mean, she is Guinevere herself?"

"The God Ancestor is an immortal being. It is not impossible for him to have lived from the time of King Arthur to the present. Moreover, the other party's goal should be the same as ours, to revive the hero. In this case, it would be a bit too presumptuous to say that your strength is just that of a witch."

Li Yun changed his mindset and continued, "So the goal has changed slightly. Find the God Ancestor! There must be very few God Ancestors left in this world!"

"I knew you would say that, so I looked for the God Ancestor while I was looking for the Witch."

Metis and Athena divided the work together, Athena was in charge of the witches and Metis was in charge of the gods.

"There are only two God Ancestors in this world, one in America and one in Europe. The aura of the American God Ancestor is too evil, and he looks like a fallen God Ancestor, so I think the possibility of the European God Ancestor is greater."

"Where exactly is it?" Upon hearing the news, the goddesses came and lit up their eyes.
