2000 years after the demise of mankind, help arrives

"Why did you arrive just now? If it were any later, my body would really be corroded to death!"

Seeing those larvae being knocked out and revealing their true form with his own eyes, the death knight was frightened.

Having absolute confidence in his steel body, he realized that his friend was not joking.

The immortality of the dead skeleton species comes from the power of the great ancient dead skeleton god.

So it doesn't matter no matter how many zombies die, they are essentially just a group of cannon fodder that can be summoned and then gone.

Ancient gods such as death knights are the real dead species.

Even if that terrifying body of steel is blown to ashes, the Death Knight will still have the confidence to return from death.

However, these invisible larvae are one of the death knight's natural enemies.

The only power that can destroy God's protection is the same God's protection.

Although these maggot-like larvae are inconspicuous, they can really eat up and digest the death knight!

The immortality of the dead skeleton species and the corrosive power of the worm species, the key to victory or defeat lies in the use of their respective divine powers and the upper limit of their carrying capacity.

Judging from the results, the Death Knight was completely defeated.

His strongest body of steel was no different from cakes in front of these invisible worm larvae.

"You always charge hard, when will you get rid of this problem?"

"This is not a battlefield in the Lost Era. Your opponent is still a tiger and leopard tank."

"You must have read too many war knight novels, John."

The death knight's friend, the high priest of the dead skeleton species who was also a member of the new generation of the ancient god era, swung his bone wand again in annoyance.

knock!

Knock again!

The death knight who has read knight novels in his head all day long and whose blood is boiling after reading the epic stories of the Lost Era, and the young man who vows to restore the glory of the knight, this is John.

He also gave himself a very chivalrous name, "John of Windsor".

"Hey, I just want to have a rare opportunity to play the role of a knight, Palbad."

"The knight who protects the lost castle continues to obey his master's orders even if he loses his head."

"As long as I stand in front of this bell tower, no one can step into this bell tower!"

"Whether it's 1000 years or 1 years, the spirit of chivalry will never fade!"

Death Knight John, who had only his calf armor left, couldn't help shouting:

"Humility, Honor, Sacrifice, Heroism, Mercy, Soul, Honesty, Justice!"

"I also want to be like the knights in the Lost Era stories, find a monarch worthy of my allegiance and become a member of the Knights of the Round Table!"

"For this reason, I hone my martial arts skills day after day, just to realize this dream one day!"

Alas, there is no hope.

The novels about knights from the lost era are really harmful.

The knights in the novel are not real knights at all.

According to my research, the real knights were just small landowners.

Where did there come from so many dragon-slaying knights!

Chapter 26 Sky Tree and Lovers (4) ([-]K please vote for me)

During the period when Palbad had just resurrected as a dead species, he was indeed immersed in the documents unearthed from the history of the Lost Era just like his friend John.

Until one day, he acquired a incomplete document called "The Origin of Knights in Eastern Europe".

This book "The Origin of Knights in Eastern Europe" records in detail the daily life of some knights, as well as the training routine of an order called the Teutonic Knights.

Compared with the chronicle of the dragon-slaying knight that his friend John firmly believed in, the knight described in this book is far less legendary.

This book does not record the deeds of any legendary knight.

The original knight was just a cavalryman with formal military training in the Middle Ages. It later evolved into an honorary title used to indicate a social class.

Knight status was often not inherited. In the Middle Ages, knights served in the lord's army and received fiefs.

In the chaotic situation described in the book, both the king and the nobles needed some troops with overwhelming advantages in war. For this reason, they would carefully train some young people to become knights.

Knights must serve in the lord's army and provide their own weapons and horses for war. After obtaining a fief, they will become small landowners and belong to the lower nobles in the Middle Ages.

For example, the "Holy Crusader Knights", "Sky Knights" and "Dragon Slaying Knights" that John talks about all day long do not exist in this book "The Origin of Eastern European Knights".

In contrast, the knight's territory, the knight's armor expenditure, and how the knight exercises his martial arts are all very detailed.

After reading the book carefully, Parbad deduced the background and social system of the book and found that it might be closer to the truth about knights in the Middle Ages.

Details down to the distribution of a chicken, a cow, and milk are recorded, and the family tree includes suggestions on how the knight family should distribute their property after becoming small landowners.

This is no more real than the knights in John's literature who can single-handedly fight against the country and pursue the Holy Grail!

Even in the year 2000 of the Ancient God Era, there were no dragons!

From Parbad's point of view, the record of the simple knight of the Teutonic Knights who sold himself to a noble lady for a good suit of armor is more real.

Instead, it was the legends of the Knights of the Round Table that he and John had been fascinated by in the past. There were too many details that could not withstand scrutiny.

Parbad, who is meticulous by nature, graduated from the era of longing for knights and eventually became a high priest and an elite who is expected to command orders.

John always firmly believed that those legendary knights really existed, and the reasons he gave gave Parbad a headache.

"Palbad, I'm not saying that your ordinary knights don't exist."

"The knights in Eastern Europe are inferior. The Teutonic Knights are just a small knighthood in the countryside. How can there be a legendary knight?"

"The Knights, who have no one, no money, and no extraordinary power, are just like the cannon fodder zombie army of our dead species. It's not surprising that they exist."

"A true knight must be a brave man who possesses the eight virtues and dares to challenge everything!"

"What I want to become is a true legendary knight who is not afraid of anything!"

No, if the records in the book "The Origin of Eastern European Knights" are correct, those legendary knights who can fight in heaven and on earth do not exist at all!

The origin of knights is just cavalry recruited by lords. Only after they have made achievements in war can they become small landowners.

Some poor knights could not even afford dowries for their daughters.

A good piece of armor can be passed down as a family heirloom for many generations.

This is more like a real knight. Even the death knights from the Ancient God Era are far from the combat power of the legendary knights from the Lost Era.

The records of knights in some Lost Era documents are simply exaggerated.

Knights in some systems have even exceeded the upper limit of the "mythical species" and have received the protection of the "Holy Grail", gaining immortality and immortality.

If such knights exist, why haven't we seen any in the Ancient God Era?

Parbad was very suspicious that the documents found by the command priests from history had a lot of water content. At least there were absolutely no mythical knights above the fifth level.

He had also discussed relevant arguments with other priests of the dead skeleton species.

However, his argument is considered a minority within a minority.

It is not that documents similar to "The Origin of Knights in Eastern Europe" have never been summoned, but it is generally believed that these books are just records of knights in some barren villages in the countryside.

A strong evidence is that the documentary records related to the legendary knights that John admired are more than a hundred times as many as books like "The Origin of Knights in Eastern Europe"!

The records of some powerful knights, such as the documents related to the "Knights of the Round Table" and "Knights of the Dragon Slayer", are interspersed with the Lost Era documents from different eras and correspond to each other.

There are countless records of mythical holy objects such as the "Holy Sword", "Holy Grail" and "Golden Apple", which means that in the Lost Era, these holy objects were also objects of worship by countless people.

There are so many documentary records corresponding to the "Holy Sword", "Holy Grail" and "Golden Apple" that it gives even minorities like Parbad a headache.

The details are obviously full of flaws, but there are so many records about these sacred objects that if you say that these legendary knights do not exist, you will be questioned.

"One day, like those legendary knights, I will get the Holy Grail and make a wish."

John, who had only his leg armor left, regained his strength after Parbad drove away those terrifying corrosion larvae.

As long as the armor is still there, even if there is only a pair of leg armor, the death knight can recast his body of steel. This is the blessing from the great ancient god of death.

"The Holy Grail that can grant wishes..."

"Does that kind of thing...really exist?

Records related to the "Holy Grail" are also one of the most frequently mentioned pieces of knowledge in the documents of the Lost Era.

Obtaining the Holy Grail seems to be one of the highest honors of a knight.

However, Parbad was very suspicious that this might just be a lie.

Because, even in the Ancient God Era, there was no such holy object that could make wishes.

The Holy Grail—its principle of granting wishes and all unknown existences.

It seems that countless humans in the Lost Era firmly believe that the "Holy Grail" is such a great existence.

This belief was even inherited into the Ancient God Era.

By the way, the last scene of this haunted house corresponds to the "Holy Grail".

…………

Between heaven and earth, there is a vast expanse of white.

When Mei Lu and Jing Hua walked into this world, they saw a hole suspended in the center of the world, dripping with black sludge.

"This, what is this?"

Meilu was confused and looked at the huge black hole in front of him.

"Dark...Holy Grail..."

"By gathering all the evil in the world, you can open the door to the source and make a wish."

"Put the purest sacrifice into it and seek the answer with blood."

"The result of making a wish is related to the sacrifice invested."

Jinghua read out the introduction below the huge black hole.

"Dark Holy Grail?"

"The Holy Grail of wishing?"

As a high school student in 2023 AD, Mei Lu naturally knows what the "Holy Grail" is.

Yes, there is also "Holy Grail War", which is a well-known two-dimensional hit.

Well, how about giving Jinghua a Holy Grail?

A great myth that has been told for 23 years.

"Is this really the Holy Grail for making wishes?"

Mei Lu looked at this gathering of negative energy, and it didn't look like it at all.

If you make a wish with something like this, only curses and destruction will come out, right?

"The Dark Holy Grail is a twisted miracle."

"No matter how good your wishes are, they will come true in a twisted way."

"It's a poor copy of the real Holy Grail, not very complete."

"It must be purified before use."

"Only the purest hearts and prayers, as well as the wishes of all sentient beings, can return the Holy Grail to its original appearance."

The curve of the corner of Jinghua's mouth slightly rose.

This is the last scene in the haunted house, which corresponds to "Prayer."

She wanted to make a wish with Mei Lu in front of this twisted dark Holy Grail.

"So, are you just praying to this Dark Holy Grail?"

"This is really...a very contemporary way..."

"What will happen if the wish fails?"
