Chapter 246:
The small room feels crowded even for two people, and entering four people at once makes people feel breathless. Because they never thought of entertaining guests here, and there was no furniture for guests in the room, Roman and Xiaoyu could only stand there, and after a moment of hesitation, they sat cross-legged on the floor.
This scene made Guinevere blush, and she knew in an instant that she was entertaining a king in the most shabby format ever.
Roman didn't have any thoughts of disgust, after all, he had spent dinner time with a certain young Wang in a cheap fast food restaurant the day before.
"Sorry, Guinevere is not good at housework and can't find a place to entertain. I'm better at fighting, galloping in the grasslands, and the trivial things at home have nothing to do with me."
"uncle!"
Being exposed to his own shortcomings in public, Guinevere blamed his guardian angrily.
"Qiangqiang! Now it's the wife of the husband, the most perfect wife in the world, Xiaoyu!"
It was found that these few people could not change the status quo, and the situation had reached the level of "Sure enough, I can't do it without me", Xiaoyu was resurrected at once.
I barely rolled up my sleeves.
"Xiaogong, wait a moment, Xiaoyu, I will prepare the materials and come back soon."
Without waiting for Roman's reply, Xiaoyu had already run out of the house and disappeared from the sight of the three of them in an instant.
It seems that in order to be able to perform in front of Roman, Xiaoyu decided to make a big fight.
Roman felt that Xiaoyu's off-line character was destined to be included in the loser's group in love. Just imagine, Xiaoyu has already regarded Lancelot and Guinevere as rivals in love, but in order to show her love in front of the person (Roman), she actually leaves her lover and her lover alone in a room. Isn't this an opportunity for her own enemy? ?
The fox lives and defeats the dog, this is the kind of fox we are talking about. I'm afraid I didn't lose all the face of the nine-tailed fox.
Chapter 416 Chapter 52 The Holy Grail
Roman didn't think too much about Xiaoyu's question. Although this fox doesn't know much about the atmosphere and is often silly and shamed, he's still reliable where needed. For example, housework or something, at least Roman feels that he is going further and further on the road of being a waste.
As for the story of foxes and dogs, it's even more impossible. After all, Roman is a comedy lover who likes happy endings. He has always expected to bring happiness to everyone. He just hates marrying the party or something...
Sorry, off topic.
After Xiaoyu is missing, it doesn't have much impact on Roman and the others, and the topic that should be continued will not stop.
"The King of Spells..."
"My name is Roman." Roman corrected Guinevere's address, "I don't want such a name to come out of your mouth again, although I understand that this is your respect for me, but I don't like this kind of alienation. I But the witch's friend is your friend, although it is true that it is a partner now, isn't it better to have a closer relationship?"
Roman's words made Guinevere pause for a moment, and then said.
"I understand, since it is the request of the king of spells... I understand, this is the basic etiquette as a lady, Roman should at least give me time to change, how can I tell the person I meet for the first time so close?"
This is indeed the case. Even if the two have promised to help each other in future plans, utilitarian partners should maintain a suitable distance. On the contrary, it is not normal to actively close the distance like Roman Reigns.
Even so, it was you who showed such enthusiasm when we met...
"Roman, do you know the resting place of the Last King?"
"Is it really good to set my words like this? Although I know that you are testing the help I can give you, you should also understand that you can't deceive me with this little thought."
"This is too stingy, aren't you the witch's friend?"
Facing Guinevere's coquettish anger, Roman was unmoved, and the smile on his face did not change.
This doesn't mean that Roman doesn't feel it. In fact, he is very happy that Guinevere, who looks like a child, is acting like a spoiled child. It's just that he doesn't intend to show the enjoyment in his heart. Because he knew that every reaction he made would become Guinevere's standard of measure for him. This goddess who had done all the calculations and surpassed human intelligence was not a twelve or three-year-old girl like her appearance.
"I know that I have found the possible location of the last king, but whether it is or not, I will not give you an answer, nor will I help you. Just as I promised you just now, I will help you wake up the last one. King, but only when you encounter difficulties that cannot be solved. If you plan to hit me with the abacus, you are doomed to gain nothing."
Guinevere showed a distressed expression and resented Roman Reigns' rejection, but she also understood that Roman Reigns would not relax her bottom line.
"I heard that Japanese magicians bound a **** of 'steel', and everyone called him the 'monkey god'. I heard that the Chinese leader Luo Hao was very obsessed with the ape god. Roman's sudden arrival in Japan will inevitably cause Luo Hao Attention, Master Hao. If Master Luo Hao wants to unlock the seal of the Monkey King, I hope Roman will not hinder her, because I need to determine the relationship between the Monkey King and the Last King."
"What a cunning witch, don't get me wrong, this is my compliment to you. You are as rumoured to be described, with wisdom beyond human intelligence."
"Compared to Roman, I dare not be proud of my intelligence."
Instead of saying "don't get in the way", let's say "help Luo Hao". Although Roman has already said that he will not personally intervene in the action of awakening the King of the End, since he is already on Guinevere's side, he will inevitably go from the "neutral" side to the "biased" side. Since Luo Hao intends to destroy the seal of the monkey god, not only can Roman not hinder Luo Hao, but when it comes to him, he needs to help Luo Hao at a critical moment.
"I promise you. If Luo Hao asks me to help her, I will not stand by."
Roman replied to Guinevere with a smile, with a confident and calm demeanor as always.
Although the order is reversed, the promise to Guinevere and the request of Luo Hao have all appeared, right?
"Speaking of which, I also need to ask Guinevere for one thing. If Guinevere can agree to me, Roman's favorability for you will be +3."
What the **** is this strange favorability? Am I playing a weird strategy game? Or, after the good feeling is full, you can...
Guinevere's smile was a little stiff, but in order to keep the lady's restraint, she didn't say these strange words.
"Although Roman has agreed, now we are partners. If I can do it, I will not reject you."
"That's good. I heard that you once made the Holy Grail with your divinity. Can you show it to me?"
"The Holy Grail? I didn't expect you to be interested in it, Roman. But it doesn't matter, I can lend you the Holy Grail."
After finishing speaking, behind Guinevere, a large golden cup appeared.
The golden cup illuminated the dim room the moment it appeared, and it was like the sun in the small room. This golden cup was huge, bigger than Guinevere, and the thin figure could not hide the golden cup behind him. However, what is even more eye-catching is the liquid like liquid gold in the golden cup, which is the magic power collected by Guinevere. The huge magic power has turned the invisible into reality.
This is the Holy Grail, the magic holy grail made by Guinevere to collect magic power.
Roman beckoned gently, and without Guinevere's control, the Holy Grail bypassed Guinevere and finally fell into Roman's hands.
Guinevere seemed to hear the strange prompt "Ding, the system prompts: Roman's favorability +3".
An illusion, it must be an illusion.
Guinevere glared at Roman, feeling that she was about to be sullied by Roman.
Of course Roman didn't know what Guinevere was thinking, and his attention was now on the Holy Grail in his hand.
The Holy Grail, the Holy Grail of Magic, was made by Guinevere, of course not the Holy Grail of the legendary Catholic Church.
This Holy Grail was made by Guinevere using the goddess of the White Mother Goddess, and because she lost her godhead, Guinevere turned into ashes and became the ancestor of the gods. This Holy Grail is not the Holy Grail of Catholicism, but it is the Holy Grail that King Arthur asked the knights to find in "The Death of King Arthur". Unfortunately, Galahad, who finally got the Holy Grail, did not need the Holy Grail to fulfill his wish, and finally gave up the almighty Holy Grail. A very famous tombstone inscribed in Thomas Mallory's book The Death of King Arthur.
"HICJATECARTHURS, REXQUONDAMREXQUEFUTURUS - Arthur, the king of the past and the future, rests here"
It means that the king of legends is the ruler who will not stay in the past. Wake up in the future world and become king again.
That's right, when King Arthur was seriously injured in the Battle of Kamran, he was taken to Avalon, the island of goblins, to sleep for treatment. Waiting for the time to wake up. So he is "the king of the past and the future".
Generally speaking, myths and history are related, and the content of many myths is passed down and deified based on the deeds at that time. Many mythology lovers and history lovers can find the connection between the two. However, "King Arthur fans" found that they had difficulty finding the prototype of King Arthur. Even if the time was traced back to the fifth century AD, among many characters, they could only find backup candidates among Roman generals. One of them was named "Attory" The most popular of the people from St. But there are no historical documents documenting England at the time, so no candidate can be identified.
The legend of King Arthur feels like a novel made up out of thin air.
But Roman knew that the one who compiled the legend of King Arthur and spread this legend was the ancestors of Guinevere. Because he lost the key to awakening the last king, Guinevere decided to fabricate a myth similar to the last king, hoping to awaken the last king with the power of legend. When the time is right, the Last King will rule the world.
However they failed. The ancestors never thought that the legend of King Arthur that they compiled, disseminated, and circulated did not awaken the last king, but instead created a new hero of "steel" - King Arthur. When Guinevere learned the truth that "King Arthur is not the last king" fell into a semi-mad state.
The power in the Holy Grail is very huge, but as far as Roman knew, the "Black Prince" Alexander Gascoigne took the same magic power here a few years ago. That is to say, the magic power currently possessed by the Holy Grail is actually Only half of the original.
Although this Holy Grail does not have the ability to make the owner's wish come true, such a huge magic power is actually no different from the wishing cup for a magician who is proficient in magic. Because Roman, who is also proficient in various spells, knows that most of the spells that cannot be used are eliminated and lost because the conditions for their use are too harsh, and the requirement for spell power is one of the main reasons.
Compared with the magic power in the Holy Grail, the design of the Holy Grail is more attractive to Roman. This holy grail made of the Godhead of the White Mother Goddess can not only store the magic power, but also can take the life force, that is, the magic power, from the Earth Goddess and the ancestors through the characteristics of the Godhead. This is how the magic power in the Holy Grail comes from now. Only the Earth Mother and the ancestors can have such huge magic power. This is far beyond the comparison of ordinary magicians and witches.
However, in Roman's eyes, the Holy Grail made by Guinevere is full of flaws, or its subtlety disappoints Roman. Although it is different from the Holy Grail, Roman also has a container that can absorb and store mana with the same function, that is Roman himself.
Taking the most inclusive body (Roman) as the main body, using the blood of the owner of the stigmata (Kanzaki Kaori) as the material, under the transformation of the suspected ancient **** of wisdom (Yai Rin), Roman's body Become the most exquisite magic storage container. At least Roman has not been able to find a more subtle magical quality than him until now, whether it is a **** ancestor or a witch, even a "disobedient god" can't compare.
Guinevere's technique for making the Holy Grail is too blunt, it was created purely to store the magic power, and the techniques for absorbing the magic power and using the magic power are very crude. But this is easy to understand, because Guinevere doesn't need these skills, she only needs to obtain the magic power, which is used by herself as the ancestor of the gods, or given to the awakened last king.
However, Guinevere's design for the Holy Grail inspired Roman. The way the Holy Grail obtains the magic power is to absorb the magic power of the ancestors and the goddess of the earth, while Roman's circuit is through its own absorption. The former is external plunder, and the latter is internal transformation. The structure and distance of the two are similar but completely different. different.
So Roman can't help but have a conjecture. If you make a holy grail that can absorb the magic power floating in the atmosphere, you don't need to use it, you just need to put it on the spiritual vein... No, just put it in a random corner is enough Now, when the time is long enough, the accumulated magic power will be enough to reach the level of the Magic Grail in the hand.
Looking at the magic power filled in the Holy Grail, after hesitating for a while, Roman tried to inject the magic power into the Holy Grail. As long as you understand it yourself, you can understand the structure of this Holy Grail, and then you can make the expected design.
However, what Roman didn't expect was that when he tried to inject magic power into the Holy Grail, the calm magic power stored in Roman's body suddenly boiled and flowed into the Holy Grail like crazy.
This accident exceeded Roman's expectations, and Guinevere and Lancelot did not expect this accident to happen. What surprised them even more was that the magic power flowing from Roman's body was full of the breath of the Earth Mother.
In other words, it is precisely because of the magic power of the Earth Mother that Roman's magic power is poured into the Holy Grail uncontrollably.
"Why is there the magic power of the Earth Mother in Roman's body?"
Guinevere exclaimed in disbelief, and the magical power of the Earth Goddess emerged from the human body, even if the object was Roman, it was unimaginable.
"I also... I understand, this is not my magic power, it's the Gorgon Stone! Oops, hurry up and set up the barrier, the master of the magic power is going to find this place!"
Guinevere couldn't understand what happened to Roman, but the "Gorgon Stone" reminded Guinevere of the Earth Goddess, and after a slight stun, he set up a barrier to isolate the magic power.
The breath of the ancient snake could no longer be restrained after the barrier appeared. It emanated from Roman, and Guinevere and Lancelot's bodies instantly entered a state of tension. It had nothing to do with their thinking, it was their natural reaction to the smell of snakes, especially since this was the descendant of the oldest snakes.
Guinevere is also the descendant of snakes. However, the arrival of new snakes is like a kin who invaded the territory. The sense of oppression brought by the Gorgon Stone to her is almost beyond her ability to bear.
Fortunately, the breath of the ancient snake did not last long and disappeared soon.
Chapter 417 Chapter 53 Various Accidents
When the aura of the "snake" disappeared, the mantra that flowed into the Holy Grail from Roman was also interrupted. It seems that the only thing that is out of control is the magic power of the Earth Goddess, and it has nothing to do with Roman's own power.
After not feeling the ancient "snake", Guinevere walked out from behind Lancelot.
The obsidian-like medal jumped out of Roman's body, and the Gorgon Stone, which had lost its magic power, was no different from a solid stone.
"I didn't expect the Gorgon Stone to be on you. I heard that the goddess has woken up from her slumber. Hasn't she found you yet?"
"The Gorgon Stone is mine...my friend gave it to me for safekeeping. In fact, Athena also found me and asked me to return the Gorgon Stone to her, and I agreed to her. As a price, She needs to pay me some of the magic power."
Roman looked at the Gorgon Stone in his hand and fell into contemplation. The words between him and Athena are not joking. A casual promise to a strong man like Roman and Athena will become a shackle-like contract. If the promise cannot be fulfilled, it will be unbearable punishment.
Guinevere's face was ugly, and she also thought of this possibility. The relationship between the Earth Goddess and the Protoss is not good, especially if Guinevere wants to revive the last king, she will inevitably be hindered by the Earth Goddess.
The ancient goddess of the earth was later defeated by the male gods. The goddess of the earth fell from the throne of the god-king and was replaced by the new god-king. Therefore, the goddess of the earth and these latter male gods were inseparable from each other. hatred.
Therefore, if Guinevere wants to resurrect the last king, he will inevitably be hindered by the earth mother goddess. Among them, ancient god-kings like Athena will definitely try their best to stop her.
Now that Roman can't fulfill the contract, it means that if Athena tries to hinder Guinevere, Roman will definitely not be able to help when facing Athena.
"It's really hard to do. It seems that delaying the transaction was not a good choice at the beginning. If I knew it, I would have returned the Gorgon Stone to her."
At the beginning, Roman Reigns did not complete the transaction and had his own ideas. If the Gorgon Stone was returned to Athena in the plane at that time, then the two of them would have an ordinary transactional relationship at best. However, if Athena was in danger and handed over the Gorgon Stone, it must be a beautiful thing.
Compared with the icing on the cake, the kindness of saving lives is more profound, isn't it?
With Athena's current weak state and the current number of Campiones, the expected scenario has a high chance of appearing.
I just didn't expect this accident. Before the opportunity to send charcoal in the snow, the magic power of the Gorgon Stone flowed away.
"Speaking of which, the Gorgon Stone is still here, but it has been sealed again. Does returning it count as fulfilling its promise?"
"You know it's impossible, are you going to try? If you do, you'll face the goddess' wrath."
Without thinking about it, Lancelot stopped Roman. If you try to return the Gorgon Stone, it means that Roman intends to fulfill his promise, and Roman who fails will be punished.
"I don't want to face it, even if it's a weak Earth Goddess. I can't deal with angry women."
"What should I do? This kind of thing happened at this time. Roman's joining was such a good opportunity, but it was destroyed by the Earth Mother."
"Don't panic, Guinevere, it's not a big deal. You have your own plans, don't you? It's just an unexpected twist that takes away the advantage. Besides, I'm just Subject to Athena, it is very reliable at other times."
"It's me who lost my temper. You are right, even if Athena appears, we still have a great advantage, and the weak Athena is nothing to worry about."
Guinevere was calmer than expected. The accident didn't affect her too much, in fact, after she learned that Athena had woken up from her slumber, Guinevere had already regarded Athena as a plan-breaker.
It is better to say that the accident just now is good news. The Gorgon Stone is sealed again, which means that Athena has no hope of returning to the strongest state. This enemy is bound to appear, and the threat is reduced to the lowest point. After all, a weak Goddess of the Earth Still easy to deal with.
"It's better to say that I suffered a loss in this matter. After all, I could have obtained the magic power of the Earth Mother from Athena, but now not only has the magic power gone, but I have to face Athena's anger."
Although it was a very bad situation, Roman still had a relaxed expression on his face, as if the person who violated the contract between the gods was not him at all.
"If Roman needs the magic power of the Earth Goddess, he can use it from the Holy Grail. As an ally, I will not be stingy with these powers."
"I don't need it. Although I'm glad you allowed me to use the Holy Grail, the magic power of the Earth Goddess that I need is different from this 'energy' that has left the Earth Goddess. Please rest assured that I still have sufficient reserves. ."
The reason why Roman needs the magic power of the Earth Mother is entirely for the unborn child. After the magic power leaves the Mother Goddess, it will lose the "mother" attribute that Roman needs. Such magic power is of no use to Roman.
Besides, the reason why Roman called Xiaoyu was to get enough "mother".
"Why does Roman insist on the magic power of the Earth Mother... Could it be for that child..."
Guinevere, who was still puzzled at first, suddenly remembered the rumors circulating among witches, and woke up in an instant, with a pink blush on her cheeks.
It was still too much for Guinevere to suddenly discuss a child with a man.
"The question of Athena has ended, and it is time to continue discussing the matter of awakening the last king."
