Gate of Apocalypse

Chapter 221 [Holy Objects]

The Countess seemed really scared.

Almost holding Chen Xiaoliang and not letting go, the girl cried and broke her liver and intestines. At this moment, it was as if a person who fell into the water grabbed the life-saving straw.

Instead of struggling or pushing the girl away, Chen Xiaocai frowned and sighed, leaving the countess to rub tears and snot on her clothes sleeves.

After crying, the Countess gradually lost her strength and calmed down.

“We better get out of here.” Chen Xiaoxiao glanced at her.

The Countess did not speak. Though clever, after all, she was just a young girl over the age of twenty, a bloody scene that was enough to break her mind and her capital.

“Get in the car. ”

Chen Xiaoliang pulled her up and walked to the side of the road.

Tire took the initiative to act as driver, Chen Xiaocao pushed the spare tire and the Count into the rear of the car. He was about to close the door and sat on the front passenger seat himself, but suddenly felt his clothes tight.

Looking down, you can see a slender hand clamping its wrist tight.

The Countess looked at Chen Xiaolian with horror.

Chen Xiaocai sighed and walked into the back row of the car, sitting beside her.

“We have to find a safe place.” Tires sighed: “Where to? ”

Chen Xiaocai hesitated for a moment, but he remembered the suburban warehouse they had been in with Phoenix. Although the place collapsed, the place was hidden enough.

However...

“I know a place.” The Countess cried, trembling: “I... I have a private studio, not far from here, that place is remote, and... not an estate in my name, not many people know. ”

Chen Xiaoliang immediately made the decision: “Okay, go there! ”

……

Speaking of studios, it's actually a big house, and it even looks like a small castle building.

Located behind a hillside, built on mountains and not far from a river, the place turned a bend, just a swamp, forming a small lake.

From the view of the landscape, it is quite picturesque.

However, at a time like this, several people are not in the mood to appreciate the scenery.

This is an ancient building constructed of pure stone, and Chen Xiaolei noticed that this small castle has quite a Normandy style, which is the standard thick stone wall with small windows.

This place is obviously a little deserted.

Weeds flourish in the surrounding open space. The castle does not exist alone, with a row of stables on the back close to the lake… but it is already broken.

The gate of the ancient castle was locked, but Chen Xiaocai quickly found an iron chain lock under a pile of grass, pulled out hard and opened the gate of the ancient castle.

“There is a back door here that can be accessed with a key. Normally, no one comes here, but people come every other time to clean up and clean up.” The Countess explained.

“Not afraid of thieves?” Chen Xiaolian looked at the surrounding desolate and quiet environment.

“This is England.” The Countess shook her head: "The importance attached to the privacy of private territory. And... there's nothing to steal here, it's always empty. ”

The first floor of the castle was empty and a vaulted stone pillar door appeared to have some black rust marks on the walls.

The ground is fairly clean, the gray soil is not much, and it looks like it hasn't been cleaned up in a long time.

There is no glass on the small windows, but the oldest type of wooden board… if you want to open the window, you have to use the bracket to open the wooden board.

As can be seen, these wooden windows are new and obviously have no more than six months of paint on them.

“Behind there is a lounge with a simple kitchen where you can burn water. There are some simple utensils. There's also a well in the back. ”

Chen Xiaoliang was not interested in drinking well water. Fortunately, there was still a lot of mineral water in the storage watch, and he took out a few bottles to distribute to everyone.

The tire glanced at him and stood up: “I went to the back to see if there was anything useful. ”

The spare tire sat in a clean place, and Chen Xiaoli laid a blanket on the floor, resting against the wall.

“We... need to talk, okay? ”

The Countess is close to Chen Xiaoli's low voice.

In fact, she had consciously stayed close to Chen Xiaocai all along the way, she seemed scared and determined that Chen Xiaocai could protect herself.

“Well, talk about it.” Chen Xiaolian pointed to the steps on the ground: “Sit down and say. ”

The Countess sat down and opened the mineral water for a sip.

Her body trembled slightly.

“Those people... they came for me, right? I mean the attack. ”

The Countess looked pale as paper.

“… should be.” Chen Xiaoliang nodded.

He already has some judgment in his mind.

This London copy is not a competitive one.

So... there seems to be no reason for other teams to ambush here specifically to deal with their own teams.

It doesn't make sense from the motive.

As for personal grudges... the black-clothed man who fought himself seemed to have no idea who he was at first.

Personal grievances can also be ruled out.

So... the other party's goal is naturally the Countess!

“Why are they coming at me?” The Countess gritted her lips and asked.

“I'm afraid I can't answer that question.” Chen Xiaocai shook his head and spoke plainly: “I don't know the answer, and I don't know each other. ”

“What do they want from me? Would it be… the same purpose as yours? For that sword? ”

Chen Xiaolian's heart moved.

This seems possible…

No, very likely!

This seems to make sense to attack the Countess in order to obtain mission props.

… are other teams receiving random tasks also looking for the Sword in Stone?

No, exactly. Looking for a sword blade in a stone?

Thinking of this, Chen Xiaoliang's heart sinks. He turns around and faces the Countess in the front.

“I think that after what has just happened, our attitudes should all change - I must say, we are no longer allowed to continue trying or circling in the present circumstances. Do you understand?” Chen Xiaocai's voice softened: “I must now know clearly whether you have the sword blade of the stone sword or not? Or where you hid it! ”

“You want me to give you this?” The Countess bravely greeted Chen Xiaolian's eyes: “And then what? Did you get something that would leave? What am I supposed to do? These people are going to kill me!! They've killed Stewart!! ”

“You can…”

Chen Xiaocao seems to want to say: You can call the police.

But such words are too shameless to be said by Chen Xiaoliang himself.

Call the police?

Call the police against powerful awakeners or players?

Are you kidding me?

Obviously, this smart girl understands that too!

So on the way, she didn't even mention calling the police.

She seemed well aware that such horrific attacks could not be solved by calling the police.

alone in London… even in the suburbs, attacking with RPGs, and possessing that horrible magical ability.

Such enemies are by no means something that ordinary police can deal with.

Call the police?

are you kidding me

Only this young man in front of me seems capable of dealing with those people!!

“My family does have that thing you asked. ”

The Countess seems to have made up her mind!

In gentle words, she gave the answer that Chen Xiaoliang wished.

“From my ancestors, conquerors. William started, and that sword was in my family.

Of course, I don't know where this sword came from. I don't know if my ancestors got the Sword in stone... or if he himself is simply a prototype of King Arthur. Anyway, this thing is in our family's hands.

But what is in our hands is not a complete stone sword, but a broken sword. ”

The Countess gently complained that Chen Xiaoliang listened quietly and did not interrupt her. The spare tire not far away also sat upright and listened with its ears raised.

“It is indeed the legendary Sword of the Middle Stone, the Sword of the King.

It seems to represent a symbol of kingship. But the sword was in our family's hands, but it was broken, and we never found the other half. In fact, the ancestors of the family were said to have spent a great deal of time searching for the handle of the sword and trying to combine them. But unfortunately... "

Hearing this, Chen Xiaoliang nodded: “You didn't find it. ”

“Yes, if you find it… maybe the Norman dynasty won't end so quickly. ”

“Ha!” Chen Xiaocai laughed: “If the Norman dynasty isn't over, then you should be the queen now, should I call you Her Majesty? ”

After a pause, Chen Xiaolei frowned: “Have you thought... maybe the handle of the sword was obtained by other families, so... you Norman dynasty will end and then be replaced by other families. ”

“Because the sword of kings is incomplete in everyone's hands, every dynasty ends in just one or two hundred years?” The Countess glanced at Chen Xiaocai.

After a pause, she said softly: “I am more and more certain of one thing now… how you are so eager to find the blade, then it is even more obvious that you have the handle! ”

Chen Xiaolian shrugged his shoulder.

“Are those guys here for the Sword in the Stone too?” The Countess raises a question.

“I'm not sure.” Chen Xiaocai thought about it: “There is such a possibility. ”

Speaking of which, Chen Xiaoliang suddenly moved in his heart and suddenly remembered another possibility!

……

According to King Arthur's legendary story, the sacred objects mentioned in this legendary story are not just stone swords!!

And a few other things!

For example... Contract of Victory Sword!

This sword is the real sharp weapon of battle! After King Arthur's stone sword was broken, he got a new sword, the Sword of the Victory Deed! The legendary sword, given to King Arthur by a fairy in the lake, symbolizes indestructible power!

From a combat point of view, the Victory Contract Sword is much more bullforked than the Stone Sword!

In addition, there are some sacred objects mentioned in this legendary story.

For example...

Holy Grail!!

For example...

Holy Spear!!

……

The Holy Grail and the Holy Grail, these two legendary sacred objects, are actually connected.

The Western legend is full of magical colors.

Of course, the Da Vinci Code fabricates the legend of the Holy Grail as a woman, the wife of Jesus. This is a legend, of course.

For the moment, however, the most orthodox legend in the West describes the Holy Grail and Holy Gun as follows:

During the last night of Jesus, before Judah sold Jesus out, Jesus and the disciples were at their last dinner together, Jesus used a glass of wine to drink, a bright red wine, symbolizing the blood of Jesus.

And when Jesus was crucified by the Romans, in order to determine if Jesus was really dead, the Romans suggested that a spear be used to stab the corpse.

And no soldier dared to do so.

So a hundred captains named Lunchinous were pushed out —— this guy is obviously a backpacker, because he's the worst of luck, and he's almost blind to his eyes.

At the instigation of others, he stabbed Jesus' body with his spear and stabbed Jesus' body with blood.

And this spear in Longinus's hand, because of Jesus' blood, became a holy gun. Also known as the gun of Longinus, or the gun of destiny.

And at the same time, a guy named Joseph, he took this cup that Jesus used, and he took the blood out of it.

And this cup, legend has it, is the Holy Grail.

Legend has it that because of the blood of Jesus, the Holy Grail possesses the magical power to drink holy water with the Holy Grail and gain immortality.

And the holy gun, the gun of Longinus, is even more amazing. It has the magical power to heal the wounded and sick. The legendary Longinus, who stabbed Jesus in the body with a spear, is blind because of Jesus' blood, and his eyes are bright again.

Moreover, the gun of Longinus, because it contaminates the blood of Jesus, also has a magical power: to hold this holy gun in your hand and allow anyone within 120 feet to worship!

These two things are naturally among the legendary sacred objects.

And bias...

These things are also mentioned in King Arthur's legend.

It is said that Joseph, the one with the chalice, buried Jesus' body, and then he took the chalice with him, and eventually went to settle in ancient England, and eventually the chalice fell into the English folk and disappeared.

And King Arthur, having heard the legend of the Holy Grail, sent the Knights of the Round Table under him to search for the Holy Grail.

Among them, Lancelot, the most powerful and mighty bitch, ran off to find the Holy Grail.

But because his heart was not pure (it seemed that God still had eyes), he found the Holy Grail and could not bring it back.

Finally, Lancelot's nephew, also a Knights of the Round Table, was a man of pure heart who found the Holy Grail and brought it back.

Unfortunately, after the death of the Knights of the Round Table, the Holy Grail was said to have been reclaimed to heaven by angels...

Legend has it that it may be false to take back paradise.

So…

Since the Stone Sword is in the hands of the Normans.

So... is the Holy Grail... in the hands of the Normans?

Chen Xiaocai thought of this place, his eyes flickered, and he turned to the Countess!

……

(Sorry, I'm a little tied up today, so that's only 4,000 words...

I've been thinking about the drama.
