Chapter 784 The Holy Grail, Fairy, and Queen

The Holy Grail has always been placed in the most conspicuous position.

It's just that few people notice it.

It exists in Buckingham Palace, and it can even be said to be everywhere.

You can see traces of its existence in any mirror or any water surface.

It does not exist in the real world, but in the gap between illusion and reality. If you want to see the reflection of the Holy Grail, you must be sincere.

"Generally speaking, if you want to become a Knight of the Round Table, it means you need to get the blessing of the Holy Grail."

"If you want to get the blessing of the Holy Grail, seeing the Holy Grail is the first and most important test."

"After the Knights of the Round Table are canonized, they will be qualified to see the Holy Grail, and then they will be promoted to Holy Grail Knights and qualified to enter the fairy kingdom."

"This is unique to midwinter."

The princess clapped her hands, signaled the servants to turn off the lights, and then lit the candlesticks in the banquet venue.

She smiled and said, "You can try to see the Holy Grail. With Mr. Bai's strength in defeating the red dragon of Pendragon, he must be able to see the Holy Grail."

Bai Yu touched his chin and asked, "Can I really worship it? I'm not from Midwinter. Is it so casual? Don't I need to abide by the Eight Honors and Eight Shames or the virtues of chivalry?"

"That's not really important."

The princess smiled and said, "Most of the rules for testing whether a person is qualified to become a Knight of the Round Table are set by humans. They are to screen out suitable candidates and test their character and mind... The rules for selecting people for the Holy Grail are very simple."

"As long as they are strong enough."

Hearing this, Bai Yu complained, "This sounds like a bus..."

The banquet venue fell silent.

Bai Yu looked at the mirror with the curtain removed.

Standing in front of the mirror, he couldn't help but think of a classic line, 'Mirror, mirror, tell me, who is the most beautiful woman in the world'...

...Oh, I don't know why, but suddenly I have a poisoned apple in my hand.

Thinking to himself, Bai Yu looked at the reflection in the mirror again, thinking if you really have any use, you can give me a whole life.

Then the scene in the mirror suddenly began to rotate and twist.

It was as if the fusion card was activated, the light and shadow turned towards the middle, turning into a weird vortex.

And when it returned to normal, Bai Yu saw a tree.

The body of the vibrant emerald green tree was entangled with countless red thorns, and the thorns pierced the trunk, and the tree seemed to be flowing with red blood.

The blood oozing from the branches flowed and gathered into drops, and fell into a cup drop by drop.

The cup looked ordinary, just the most common wooden cup, with a bright red liquid like wine inside.

Is this the Holy Grail?

It looks too ugly.

Sure enough, the golden shape of the Holy Grail in the second game in Type-Moon is unbelievable, just like the titanium mobile phone of 8848.

If you think about it carefully, the Holy Grail was used to hold wine representing the blood of Jesus. It appeared at the Last Supper. Whether it was a gold cup or a silver cup, it was probably not priced at that time.

Of course, the origin of the Holy Grail is also obviously different in different worlds. The plain appearance of this Holy Grail contrasts with the big tree in the picture, which seems to imply that it is not a dead object.

The princess exclaimed: "It is the Holy Grail."

The nobles in the banquet hall exclaimed.

Bai Yu looked sideways and expressed his confusion. There were many Knights of the Round Table. Haven't these people seen the Holy Grail?

"It's not that simple." The princess acted as a commentator: "Generally, the manifestation of the Holy Grail is invisible to third parties, only the parties involved can see it, and now it is so clear, it seems that the Holy Grail really likes you..."

At this time, Bai Yu heard the sound of water flowing in the mirror.

Looking back, the Holy Grail in the mirror tilted at an angle, and the red liquid was poured out of the cup.

The liquid spilled directly from the mirror, and several drops splashed on Bai Yu's shoes. He hurriedly stepped back.

Princess Helen, who was thinking about the plot of the new work, saw this scene and immediately threw away the extra thoughts. She rushed over quickly, picked up the vessel at hand, bent down and knelt in front of the mirror, and caught the bright red liquid poured from the Holy Grail.

"It's a blessing!"

"The blessing of the Holy Grail!"

"Oh my God, am I dreaming? The Holy Grail actually gave the blessing to... uh, a foreigner?"

The Holy Grail in the mirror poured a lot of liquid, almost filling up the entire goblet.

Helen, who was holding the cup next to her, had some cold sweat on her forehead. She tried her best to maintain her balance and felt that the cup in her hand was getting heavier and heavier. She turned around and looked at Bai Yu for help.

The princess hurriedly said: "This is the blessing of the Holy Grail, Mr. Bai, you..."

"Wait a minute!" Cordelia raised her hand to stop the princess: "If I remember correctly, once you accept the blessing of the Holy Grail, you can't leave Midwinter, right?"

This is indeed the fact.

Although all Midwinter people dream of the blessing of the Holy Grail, drinking it means losing the chance to leave Britain forever.

Freedom or mystery.

Bai Yu will definitely choose the former, and the people present can't persuade him.

"No, drinking it won't bind you to Midwinter."

Suddenly, a light voice echoed in the banquet hall.

The voice came from the mirror.

In the corner of the mirror, a little person the size of a palm flew out. She had transparent wings like a butterfly. After passing through the mirror, her figure was illusory, emitting a glimmer of light, with golden hair and a charming face.

Everyone in the banquet hall was stunned, including the royal family.

They all recognized at a glance that this was a goblin from the goblin country.

The lifelong wish of the people in Midwinter is to enter the fairy country...but most of them will never have the chance to see the fairies in their lives.

And now she appeared in sight, still in a way that everyone could see.

Some nobles couldn't help but wanted to come forward and talk.

But the goblin didn't give them this chance at all. He snapped his fingers and forcibly silenced all the sounds in the banquet.

"Who are you?"

"Me? I am a fairy from the fairy kingdom, Millicen Heil." She raised her chin and said proudly: "I am a descendant of the fairy in the lake."

Bai Yu looked at the palm-sized villain and asked, "What do you mean? The blessing of the Holy Grail will not restrict my freedom?"

The goblin put his hands on his hips and waved in the air: "You have not sworn or made any promises to the Holy Grail, so how can it bind you? The prerequisite for the oath to take effect is that you must swear to protect it."

"In that case, why does it invite me to drink wine?" Bai Yu glanced at the full wine glass: "Is the Holy Grail so hospitable? Everyone you meet has a glass of wine? Is it Northeast Silver?"

Milicenthail spread her hands and said, "You are so suspicious...but I don't know what the Holy Grail is thinking."

"In that case," Bai Yu refused, "then I'd better not drink it. After all, the risk at the cost of freedom is too high."

The goblin pouted: "As I said, it's not harmful to you, you must drink it."

"Why?"

"Only after you finish drinking can I treat you to the Fairy Country." She said matter-of-factly: "Don't you want to go to the Fairy Country?"

After saying this, the nobles at the scene were even more excited.

The princess was a little unable to control herself. She wanted to say whether she could be together, but she couldn't say anything, and she couldn't even get close to the edge of the goblin and the mirror.

Some mystery was excluding her and them.

But Princess Helen, who was holding a wine glass in her hand, was not affected.

The princess thought to herself, could it be because her daughter was very pure?

Hearing what the goblin said, Bai Yu was a little moved. One of his purposes in coming to Midwinter was to find Bai Potian. He wrote a letter saying that he was in the goblin country. If he could go to the goblin country by drinking wine, then...

He glanced at the full glass of wine and asked: "There is so much, can I drink it all by myself? Can I share it with others?"

The goblin shook his head: "It's best not to share. The more wine the Holy Grail gives, the more blessings it gives. What is given to you is yours... and if others drink it, it will turn into ordinary water, which can only heal injuries at most. It hurts, but it doesn’t have any blessing effect.”

OK.

Bai Yu picked up the red wine glass, thinking that if there was any trap, he would know after drinking it. Anyway, he was caught.

Raise your glass...done, guys!

Just when he was about to perform a dull performance, the third change came.

"——I suggest you don't make a hasty decision to drink it..."

Well, where did this sound come from?

Bai Yu paused.

Immediately, there was only a clicking sound.

The originally complete mirror suddenly broke into two halves, and the crack spread out from the middle like a bolt of lightning.

The goblin made a frightened sound, immediately flapped its wings and ran away, hiding behind Bai Yu, sticking out its head and looking at the other half of the mirror in fear.

In the other mirror, a cold world covered with ice and snow was reflected.

A colorful aurora floated in the sky, and in the snowy world, a bright red spear was stuck on the ground, and a pair of beautiful legs first appeared in the mirror.

Then he kicked the mirror hard.

boom--!

The mirror shattered, and in the floor-to-ceiling mirror, a figure that was neither human nor ghost, entwined with the aura of ice and snow, appeared in the banquet hall.

The cold air bringing low pressure quickly filled the hall, and the candlelight in the banquet was dimmed a bit.

The woman wore a black gauze-like outfit and purple clothes, like a warrior, her whole body was wrapped in the clothes, nothing was exposed, she blended into the darkness perfectly, but highlighted the outline of her body It seems particularly sensational.

Then, his cold little hand was placed on Bai Yu's wrist. When he touched it, he felt as if half of his arm was soaked in an Arctic ice pool and was about to freeze.

"Although this little goblin didn't lie, she also didn't tell the truth..."

The queen with bright red eyes came uninvited.

"This is somewhat unfair."

She looked back at her reflection in the broken mirror.

"What do you think?"

"Holy Grail."
