MTL - I Am a Normal Player!-Chapter 124 Journey to the Holy Grail, Knights from the Wild
Chapter 124 Journey to the Holy Grail, Knight from the Wilderness
Facts have proved that Gu Shanhai still underestimated the speed of preparation. He thought it could be completed in about ten days and a half months, but it took him a month to finish it. After covering his aura and extraordinary aura, they were done.
It's not that there are few people who signed up, but there are many. After Kay screened many times, he selected a few knights.
In fact, if there is a choice, Gu Shanhai will definitely choose the Knight of the Round Table who will get the Holy Grail for Artorius in the future. Unfortunately, he has not yet been born.
Under normal circumstances, the plot of the Holy Grail will be at least ten or twenty years later. Gu Shanhai triggered it in advance, so naturally the corresponding candidate is gone, and because of the change in the plot, whether the other party can be born or not is one thing, even if To be born, Gu Shanhai did not intend to wait for the other party for more than ten or twenty years.
Naturally, the players in the previous life are not as deserted as the players in this life. After all, relying on the special profession of dragon druid, it has been built into a large commercial area like the previous world. Many players buy and sell all kinds of dragon blood here, which is beneficial. There is not even a scum in this life, so how could players be willing to settle in.
Later, Gu Shanhai took a look at the candidates for the holy grail regiment that was being prepared. There were nearly 3,000 people.
So he cut off two zeros without hesitation. Thirty people are enough. As long as he is elite, such as servants, cooks, etc. are useless at all, and will slow down his itinerary.
Kay was a little embarrassed about this. He didn't expect that Gu Shanhai only had 30 people. Fortunately, it was easy to deal with. He picked 15 knights, 10 druids, and 5 wizards, which were internal self-recommendations.
It’s not that Gu Shanhai thinks there are too many people, the main reason is that it’s useless. The Holy Grail cannot be obtained by a large number of people, and it’s quite dangerous along the way.
What is dangerous is not the process, but bad luck.
The young knight who found the Holy Grail in the previous life, the knight who sat on the seat of disaster, was praised as the boy who carried the round table of the next generation.
Belonging to the second generation of Knights of the Round Table, his life is actually very unfortunate, whether it is from birth or death.
Gu Shanhai suspects that it may be the cause of the Holy Grail, so what if there are too many people causing a chain avalanche? It’s okay for one person to be unlucky, but if a group of people follow suit, it will be miserable.
After getting ready, Gu Shanhai left the capital with a group of people. When he left, Artorius also came out to see him off. This move greatly encouraged the members of the Holy Grail Squad.
"Mr. Shan Hai, is the legend of the Holy Grail true?" The armored knight Lanster asked curiously. He is the commander this time. After leaving with Gu Shanhai, he was actually not familiar with Gu Shanhai.
More importantly, the Holy Grail Knight who was not born was his illegitimate son. The reason why Gu Shanhai brought him was just to see if he could do it for him.
"I just predicted it, not actually touched it. If I could be sure of the truth, I would not bring 30 of you, but 3,000 people arranged by Minister Kai." Gu Shanhai said that he didn't know, so he needed Let's go investigate.
Lan Sit nodded, he was very satisfied with Gu Shanhai's explanation and arrangement, 3,000 people is definitely not a small sum of money.
"Where do we need to go? Is it dangerous along the way?" Lan Site asked again, he naturally didn't know the location and location.
"The center of the continent is not dangerous. Your Majesty has led you to conquer the whole world. The kingdoms have dissipated. Everything is crawling under your majesty's throne. At most, they are just some bandits. You can still protect them with your bravery. Mine." Gu Shanhai brazenly put himself in the position of the weak.
Anyway, he covered up his aura, extraordinary aura, etc. In the eyes of these knights and druids, Gu Shanhai is very ordinary.
No one dared to jump out to challenge his authority. Everyone has brains, and they all regard Gu Shanhai as a Druid who is good at divination and prophecy. In the future, you can ask the other party for help.
"So it turns out that Mr. Shanhai needs our help to protect you." Lan Site directly imagined Gu Shanhai's thoughts, not everyone has a magical blood like Merlin, so in the eyes of everyone, Gu Shanhai Naturally, it has become a type that specializes in divination and prophecy but has no strength against the enemy.
"Yes, that's what I think!" Gu Shanhai couldn't say that he was going to let you all be coolies, oh, it doesn't seem to be much difference, in short, they just work.
Fortunately, everyone has just come down from the battlefield not long ago, and they still maintain a hard and simple idea. They have been on the battlefield, especially after this kind of battlefield that is like a meat grinder against the whole world, many habits of the original nobles It is almost worn out, and even if it can be recovered, it will take a while to recover.
"I still have to trouble you on the road, but don't worry that we will have a bad life on the road. With our current status, as long as we go to the town, we don't have to worry about not having housing and food. Now our status is the highest pass, Lansite I remember that your title should be Duke, one level higher than mine?" Gu Shanhai teased.
"Mr. Shanhai, you are being polite. Your Majesty has already said that you are the supreme commander this time. You will also be a duke after you go back." Lansite also complimented him. He never underestimated the Marquis who gave up his territory. Status, the other party's status in the eyes of Artoris is much higher than his own, the duke who was born and died.
Actually, Lansite also knew a lot of things and achievements of Gu Shanhai, so he didn't have the idea of why he had a higher title than him but a lower status than him.
"It's Lan Site who is in command. You are the most powerful knight of His Majesty. You are better than me in this respect. Otherwise, why would His Majesty arrange for you to come here? As long as you don't interfere with my research when you get to the Holy Grail." It's gone." Gu Shanhai spoke very bluntly.
Falling into Lan Site's ears, he also nodded secretly. Not only did he not need to fight for the right to speak and rights, but the other party also cooperated very well. He naturally liked this kind of colleagues very much.
"Mr. Shanhai, what is the use of this Holy Grail? I heard that it can make the Kalomei Kingdom stronger. Is this true?" Lan Site is also an emotional intelligence person, and quickly jumped back to the Holy Grail. For him, the right to command is a bit sensitive and embarrassing, and it's not suitable to talk about it. It's enough for everyone to know it in their hearts.
"Yes, what I got from the prophecy is indeed the case, but I don't know the specific situation, and I need to see the Holy Grail before I can talk about it." Gu Shanhai also said vaguely, and skipped it tacitly like Lansite topic.
The two chatted for a while, and the sky gradually darkened. Fortunately, everyone also brought tents, dry food, etc., and the cooking went on quickly.
After eating and drinking, they sat around and chatted. After experiencing the war, the social status of wizards is actually much higher. At least everyone used to be comrades-in-arms, and a lot of discrimination disappeared.
Druids also lost some of the original hatred, and the arrogance of knights has also been reduced a lot.
Gu Shanhai was flipping through the books in the corner. Before leaving, he received a lot of resources, most of which were Artoris' compensation for him giving up his real power and territory. This can be regarded as a process for Gu Shanhai to realize his cash. Of course, there are a lot of treasures, blessings and so on.
The treasures were left in his portable laboratory, and all the blessings were retained, and they were kept for later research and were not used immediately.
He searched for the origin of the sword in the stone and gold in the book. This sword is now a cursed sword, and its appearance has undergone a huge change. The sword body presents a spiral shape, just like a magic sword.
Regarding this, there is no corresponding existence found in the information of the previous life. After all, the sword in the stone and gold in the previous life was broken, not mutated.
But when it comes to the Spiral Demon Sword, Gu Shanhai knows one. The Kala de Poga in Celtic mythology means solid thunder and lightning, and it is also the prototype of the sword in the stone in the legendary King Arthur's hand.
Gu Shanhai didn't know if there was any relationship between the two. Now that this kind of change has occurred, he couldn't help but think about it. After all, even the Dagda Pot can become the Holy Grail, and the Sword in the Stone has become a solid thunderbolt because of the curse. It is not impossible for Caladepoga to say that the two are inextricably linked.
It's a pity that the spiral magic sword in his hand doesn't have the power of thunder. On the contrary, after years of changes, the curse and doom have become more powerful.
Thanks to Gu Shanhai's skill in prophecy and divination these years has become more and more sophisticated, he was still able to easily suppress this magic sword.
However, if the era of high magic comes, it may be impossible to suppress it. Fortunately, Gu Shanhai does not intend to let the Spiral Demon Sword come into contact with the high magic era.
Besides, he was still looking for the Stone of Destiny. The Stone of Destiny was indeed shattered into the Sand of Destiny, but they were all collected by Gu Shanhai. Even if they lost their power, they might be able to become What a good material.
Just as he was thinking, Gu Shanhai heard movement in the distance, as if something was approaching, but he didn't remind him, because the reserved alarm had already sounded, and both druids and wizards had corresponding divine spells and spells Well, they dared to camp and chat in the wilderness, so they naturally had their own confidence.
The knights stood up resolutely, took out their spears and swords, and looked at the night with vigilance, while the druids were transformations and summons, and wizards also summoned their magic pets and were ready to cast spells at any time.
"Oh, dear knights, you are too nervous." A somewhat scruffy middle-aged man dressed as an armored knight came over: "I am Barin the Wilderness Knight, maybe you have heard of my name."
The other party introduced himself, with a hint of teasing in his tone.
Gu Shanhai actually knew this wilderness knight Bahrain, who was also a giant of Artorius in his previous life, but unfortunately he didn't have many characteristics when he appeared on the stage, and he even killed his younger brother, also because of the curse of a sword.
A beautiful maiden came to Artorius' palace with a sword and said that no one could pull out the sword that had troubled her for so long, and it turned out, neither Artorius nor other knights.
Only the ragged wilderness knight Balin pulled up.
If you want to pull this sword, you need a knight who has never committed obscene, treacherous, and treasonous crimes. This is something that every knight has more or less. At that time, Carlome had already settled down, and the war at that time It's not like the war in this world is so huge and tragic, so the knights are still very aristocratic, and all of them are good at messing around.
Only Bahrain, he pulled out the sword but did not return it to the girl, and said that if he wants to get back the other party, he must defeat himself, and the girl also predicted that if he holds the sword, Bahrain will go to destruction and use This sword kills those near him.
Needless to say later, the prophecy came true.
And Bahrain, who got the sword, also left Artorius' side, presumably because of poor treatment.
In this life, Bahrain did not keep up with Artorius, and the truth is that the change is too great, so now the other party is still wandering in the wilderness.
"I'm sorry, I've never heard of your name." Lansite's tone was dignified and ready for battle, and he could tell that the opponent was quite strong.
"Tell me about your background. If it's for the fire, we can give you extra wood. For food and water, we can also give you some water. If it's for other things, we will do our best to help." Gu Shanhai closed his hands He picked up the book, got up and said.
Bahrain, the wilderness knight, is not stable. Although the opponent has not committed these three crimes, judging from his later performance, he also has greed.
"Okay, okay, I want to borrow some wood to make a fire. Of course, it would be better to have wine." Balin saw the vigilance of the crowd, but he was muttering in his heart: This group of people could not be from the capital. Bar?
Gu Shanhai glanced at Lan Site, meaning that killing people is not good, so give him something to send him away.
Seeing this, Lan Site also respected Gu Shanhai's opinion, and then motioned to the knight at the side, who quickly took out some supplies and threw them far away.
"Stay away from our camp, knight, if we find out that you have any bad intentions, we will cut off your head and hang it on a tree!" Lan Site warned, the reason is very simple, the other party is not a serious knight , It is estimated that he did a lot of killing and stealing things on the way. The knight's expenses are not small. The opponent's weapons and armor seem to be sloppy but they are well maintained. The opponent does not look like he is rich.
In the wilderness, the most important thing is to be a predator of the jungle.
Bahrain picked up the supplies, muttered something in a low voice, then turned around and entered the darkness, and left here as the footsteps gradually drifted away.
