Hikigu's Godslayer Story

"Tell me about this? Didn't you say this thing is very important before?"

"That's right, although the god of disobedience in the name of King Arthur came a few years ago, proving that the last king is not King Arthur, but the Holy Grail is not an artifact that belongs to the myth of King Arthur."

Hearing this, Hikigu nodded, agreeing with this statement.

Speaking of King Arthur, the Holy Grail cannot be avoided, but if the Holy Grail itself, it is not limited to King Arthur. Let’s not say that this thing is very high in the circle of bell peppers. From the image, in addition to bell peppers, it also There are Celtic and primitive mythological origins.

When Alexander saw Hikigu agree, it was no surprise. After all, in his heart, Hikigu was as fond of myths and history as he was, and it would be silly if he didn't even know about it.

So he continued.

"A guy who calls himself the Witch King is the actual holder of this thing, and he is guarded by the gods. According to my latest investigation, the place where the last king slept should be in Japan. The key to his resurrection is not only the Holy Grail, but not the Holy Grail. The sword of destruction is gone."

Speaking of which, Alexander's expression was a little off-kilter.

There are women in love here.

So he took a breath of air in a very logical way, and then asked with great interest, "What witch did you sleep with?"

The witch who can mix with the gods must be the ancestors of the gods, not the descendants of the ancestors.

Although he lost his godhead, he is still a "snake" in essence. It can sleep well, and the taste is unique.

To be honest, although Biqigu also taught the students several lessons about the legend of the Japanese snake, it was only a myth.

"I think you should be more serious." Alexander looked disgusted, and his face twitched, "I almost forgot where I said..."

"You said there was a god beside that witch." Hikigu reminded him, but he really didn't want to interrupt Alexander's thoughts.

However, there is one thing he is very convinced that the eyes of European magicians must be broken.

Whether it is a divine tool or an already symbolized image in Western culture, just such a water tank has been blown by them into a so-called symbol of the ideal realm that human beings can only see but cannot reach.

People Sima Guang smashed ten in one breath without breathing.

Chapter [-] The So-called Holy Grail

To defeat the enemy, you must first understand the enemy.

For a person who has seen a godslayer before transmigration, and became a godslayer after transmigration, this is definitely the golden rule.

The original pig's feet, as a god-killer rookie, just relied on finding school tyrants at every turn to fight po, and recklessly lost one old driver after another along the way.

Although in this time and space, because Hikigu lost his job transfer Xiaobanban halfway, he failed to catch up with the last train of this generation of godslayers, but his performance in another time and space was deeply affected. than Qigu.

In this respect, the most homogenous with Hikigu is probably the Black Prince Alexander. Although the ends and means are different, it is undeniable that both of them love to read fairy tales and find the origin of the gods. In a word, both of them like Make up the class first and then go to the reckless wave.

There are gods watching the scene next to the Witch King. Although Alexander said so, neither he nor Hikigu actually felt it.

Both horizontal and vertical are hitting God, there is no problem at all, so it is not important.

Although he doesn't know why the servant of the last king is protected by another god, but after playing so many gods and seeing more gods, he thinks that there is unlikely to be any master among the gods in the wild state. In terms of relationships, relationships in mythology are completely uncountable outside of mythology.

If there is, it is not wild. If the combat power is [-]% off, it is still terrible for human beings, but for the godslayer, it is an object that can be recklessly eliminated with a little effort.

Therefore, there is still only one opponent, the last king of Naoshizi.

In this way, the two reached a consensus after chatting for a long time.

Alexander decided to go to Europe first, while Hikigu stayed in Japan.

Given that their old nest is one thing and one thing, the two of them can still be very fast, which is really convenient.

So Alexander recommended some books to Hikigu that he thought were related to the origin of the Holy Grail, and left, while Hikigu started a book-turning business that he had not done for a long time.

About a week after Alexander's departure, Hikigu was already reading Dido Percival and Moitra Second War, both of which are regarded as the Holy Grail of pagan origins. One of the reasons is that the Holy Grail, which most scholars in the academic world agree with, originally originated from Celtic culture.

The ancient Celts first appeared in Central Europe, and by the time of the pre-Roman Empire, they had spread to western Europe, the British Isles and southeastern Galatea. The Britons or Gauls were all Celts, the latter even for a time. As one of the peaks of European prehistory, Celtic is the third largest source of Western culture in the West after ancient Greece and ancient Hebrew. The preserved Celtic myths are based on Irish legends. most famous.

According to this origin, Celtic is the hometown of King Arthur and the legend of the Holy Grail. The mixture of hundreds of Celtic stories and themes has created the legend of the Holy Grail, which is familiar to later generations. Lancelot and Parsifal in the legend of the Holy Grail , Bowes, and Galahad are believed to be the sun gods in Celtic mythology.

In addition, more than ten elements of the Holy Grail legend, such as the Feast of Pentecost, the Dangerous Seat, the Ugly Maiden, and the Bloody Spear, can be found in "The Second War of Moytra", "The Ecstasy of the Ghost Prophet" ”, “The Fate of the Tren Child” and other Irish traditions of the pagan period to find corresponding origins.

In the 10th-century Irish story "The Second War of Moytra" that Hikigu is now in hand, the two elements of Pentecost and the Dangerous One have begun to take shape.

Even so, Hikigu is still noncommittal. The inheritance link between Celtic, ancient Ireland, Welsh tradition and French legend has long been lost. It is not easy to realize that the legend of the Holy Grail originated from Celtic mythology.

Hikigu didn't read to appreciate how Irish mythology survived triumphantly in Christendom. He wanted the essence of the Holy Grail.

So the first books he read were not Irish stories, but older ones.

Gilgamesh was the first book he read.

After that, he watched "Parsifal", "The Legend of Alexander" and "One Thousand and One Nights", as well as Chretien's "Parsifal". Intertextuality between these texts, he found that all images, events and their symbolic meanings similar to the sanctity of the Holy Grail appeared first in Gilgamesh.

In this Babylonian epic, the themes of related stories revolve around the human desire for immortality, and the subsequent books have basically continued to reproduce this central image and its symbolic meaning.

And in the story of Gawain's pursuit of the Holy Grail written by the Welshman Bryris, there are also the wasteland, the slain king or knight, mourning, the role of women and the restoration of the wasteland, full of human fear of death, full of The image of the worship of life.Other ceremonial things, such as the red coffin lid, the wrath, and the mysterious banquet with the appearance of doves, remind Hikigu of the cult of Adonis in the ancient Mediterranean.

It was a ritual of harvest worship. Adonis was originally a god worshipped by the Semites in ancient Babylon and Syria, named Tamuz. It was introduced to Greece in the seventh century BC, and Adonis was its worshiper. His honorary title was originally the Semitic word "Adon", which means "Lord" or "Master". At that time, there were not many gods who could be called by that in the Mesopotamia, and the most famous of them was Baal.

Hikigu also thinks of Athena's constant absorption of vitality by the Holy Grail, which shows that the sacred quality of the Holy Grail comes from its symbolization of life.

This explains why the Holy Grail is seen as a symbol of an elusive ideal.

For early humans, immortality was the most desired, and as it was christened, its theme was replaced by God. For humans, this theme could actually be anything, and the body was just a vehicle.

The mystery of the unbeatable death in the legend of the last king may be here.
