The small voice was filled with arrogance and rudeness. A golden-haired girl dressed in a red and blue Brittanian noblewoman stood behind the three of them. She was surrounded by a large number of knights. She stretched out her little hand and pointed at Leon rudely. "Where did this knight come from? How dare you pester Sister Sulia! Hurry up and take him down! "
"…"
"…"
The situation was very awkward. The knights protecting the girl did not know what to do. They just stood there and gave the girl a look.
"What's wrong? Bono? Take your men and do it! " The girl did not understand what was going on. She pointed at Laing's face and did not move. This rude behavior made many passersby stop.
"Miss … Miss, look at the knight's chest …" Her guard quickly whispered.
"Chest? Hmph! He's just a baron. What's there to see? " The girl put her hands on her waist and said aggressively, "Do it, or I'll ask my father to take you all away!"
Ryan frowned. He subconsciously used his eyes to ask Sulia what was going on.
Who is this girl?
"She's the granddaughter of Duke Theodoric of Bereon. Her name is Fiona. I've met her a few times." Sulia frowned as well. Apparently, she was also unhappy with the girl's rudeness. "After Fiona was born, the Duke of Bereon's domain was in chaos. So, she was sent to Colona to study most of the time. Since she was young, she was taken care of by the palace maids and family knights. So … her temper is not good."
"She seems to like you a lot?" Laing asked. Suria shook her head. "No, she doesn't. She's just looking for an excuse to cause trouble."
"I'm used to it. Fiona is always like this. When she's bored, she'll find a way to cause trouble." Suria sighed softly. "People are always afraid of her or tolerating her. It makes her happy."
"…" Laing was speechless. The Grail knight lowered his head and cursed. He ignored the girl's provocation and said, "If you want to do it, do it quickly. But you'd better think about the consequences."
"Take him down. He's just a Baron. What consequences can there be?" The young girl's face was full of arrogance, but halfway through her words, her face revealed a shocked expression.
This young baron is a Knight of the Holy Grail?
"I'm sorry, I'm very sorry! Sir Knight of the Holy Grail, the young lady did not mean it. Please forgive her. She did not mean anything else. She just mistook you for someone else! " While Fiona was still in shock, her knight hurriedly apologized, "I'm very sorry!"
"If you have any complaints about me, Laing Macado, please write to the head of the Holy Grail Knights in Colona, or directly to the headquarter of the Holy Grail Knights in the Duchy of Carcasson. I'll remember your rudeness, Ms. Fiona. I'll forgive you this time, but don't do it again." Laing said coldly.
"..." Fiona bit her lips. She knew that she was in trouble. However, she couldn't say anything to apologize. Therefore, she could only lower her head.
After Laing and the other two had walked far away, the girl stretched out her hand and slapped her family's knight. "You idiot! Why didn't you tell me that man was a Knight of the Holy Grail?! "
"But … Miss, we didn't find him either!"
"Bastard!" She slapped the family's knight again. "It's all your fault. Just you wait! I won't let you go! I'm going to tell grandpa about this! "
… …
Laing did not know about the dispute outside. On the contrary, the Knight of the Holy Grail never stopped walking. He walked into the Holy Grail Cathedral.
This glorious cathedral with a huge dome had existed before the establishment of the Kingdom of Brittany. At that time, the first cathedral was used to worship and worship the main god of the elves, the Lord of the Phoenix — Asuyan.
In the following hundreds of years, with the retreat of the elves, the rule of the Empire, the departure of the Empire, and the rise of the local nobles in Brittany, the cathedral changed its target of worship and was rebuilt and added again and again.
About 800 years ago, the legendary story of the "real Brittany" first Knight King, Arthur, came to an end.
Their spears pierced the abscesses on the ground, and their sharp swords killed the evil in the shadows. With the blessing of the Lady, the people of Brittany believed that the knights would not fail. The 12 Knights of the Holy Grail were united under Arthur's leadership. After 11 great victories, Arthur led all the knights to the plains of Culona.
It was undeniable that this was the final battle and the most legendary battle.
On this day, countless Orcs walked out of the Arden Forest in the southwest. They crossed the Sannes River and charged towards Culona. Their numbers were more than ten times that of the knights.
On this day, countless green-skinned tribes formed a huge WAAAGH! They crossed the Gray Mountains and formed an unstoppable flood. There were at least 50,000 of them.
On this day, despicable supernatural creatures, rats the size of humans, wreaked havoc in Culona and destroyed half of the city. Countless rats swarmed out of the city gates and appeared behind the knights.
In this way, Arthur and his knights were surrounded by twenty times their number.
However, the knights never felt the slightest bit of fear in their hearts. At this sacred moment, all the people of Britannia were firmly united. Their friendship, their anger, and their swords formed the most powerful force in their hearts. It was a force of will.
Arthur knew, all the Knights of the Holy Grail knew, and all the Brittany people knew that this was the final battle, the most glorious battle.
The Lady of the Lake is with us!
Arthur and his companions performed bravely. Their performance in that battle was enough for all the bards to write poems of praise for eternity. Their legends in that battle were enough for all the scribes to write epics for eternity! Again and again, the moon crossed the horizon that was blackened by the flames of war, and again and again, the sun appeared on the battlefield to dispel the darkness. Day and night passed without respite.
Finally, the haze was gone, and victory came. The evil corpses piled up into mountains. According to records, it may have taken the Brittany several seasons to clean up the battlefield.
Peace came, and Arthur was crowned king with the support of his knights. The Lady of the Lake came in person. Arthur was crowned by the beautiful goddess, and the new kingdom was officially established in Brittany.
Thus, the Holy Grail Cathedral was rebuilt and stood tall for hundreds of years until today.
"The Holy Grail Cathedral took more than eighty years to complete. It has been through three generations of Knight Kings. The main building is a two-story cross-shaped building with a length of 161 meters and a width of 42 meters." Suria introduced it to Laing. "The golden dome is engraved with the story of Arthur's rise to the throne of Brittany."
Walking in the Holy Grail Cathedral, a dignified and solemn feeling arose spontaneously. Every brick here, every piece of glass here, and every wisp of air here contained a thick history and sacred faith.
If it wasn't for Arthur's efforts, if it wasn't for his undying faith, if it wasn't for his never giving up hope, perhaps today's Brittania would already be in ruins because the Empire at that time wouldn't have the ability to rescue their compatriots on this side of the mountain.
"The man has passed away, but the great spirit and faith he left behind are not. The great Arthur may still be alive in a sense, because his spirit and story will be celebrated forever until the end of the world." Leon looked at the murals. The tall golden dome was broad and deep, and the twelve family coats of arms were fluttering at the highest point of the dome. They represented the glory of the twelve first-generation Holy Grail Knights and their families.
It reminded him of his father and his brothers. The king and his geno prototypes were the same. Their achievements in the great expedition would be celebrated forever. Without them, there would be no human Empire.
But now …
"Welcome, Lady's Champion, Holy Grail knight, Baron Laing Laing Macado." Not long after, a priest came out of the cathedral to greet them. He gave Laing a very high welcome and even took the initiative to bow. "Welcome to this sacred place, blessings of Thelady."
"It is a great honor to visit this place. In the name of the Lady, good morning." Laing nodded respectfully.
"Mr. Laing is the Lady's Champion, so you can visit this place as much as you want. There is no need to stand on ceremony. I have opened the auditory hall. The moment Mr. Laing stepped into the cathedral, the Lady has sent a secret oracle. Mr. Laing, Mr. Suria, and Miss Sylvia must enjoy holy communion in the auditory hall at noon." The priest smiled and said, "But this is a secret, so please do not tell anyone."
"Yes, Lady!"
Holy communion?! Laing was fine, but Suria and Sylvia were shocked. The two female knights could not believe that Laing was qualified to stay in the Holy Grail Cathedral to enjoy holy communion.
Where was this place? This was the Holy Grail Cathedral, one of the three holy places in Brittany.
The female knight looked at Laing in disbelief. Many thoughts flashed through Suria's mind. The political sensitivity of the Duke's daughter made her realize the significance of the Lady of the Lake's oracle to let Laing enjoy holy communion in the Holy Grail Cathedral at this time.
She had listened to the round-table meeting, so of course she knew what Laing was facing now.
Just as they were visiting the Holy Grail Cathedral, the King and the Duke were having a meeting in the Culona Palace, and it was very likely that they were quarreling endlessly about how to determine the outcome of the battle of chivalry, how to measure Laing's merits, how to reward and punish him, and how to divide the cake of this "Pyrrhic victory".
And at this time, the Lady of the Lake sent an oracle to let Laing receive holy communion in the Holy Grail Cathedral. What did this mean?
Although this was a secret oracle, the Lady of the Lake's attitude was obvious.
The female knight felt that she could not see through this calm man in front of her. Why did the Lady of the Lake like him so much? Why could he complete the trial of the Holy Grail at the age of 24? Why could he, as the adopted son of a small lord, be more talented than her elder brother, who she had raised without caring about the cost? Why could her elder brother still care about him?
Why could his appearance make the Lady of the Lake personally send an oracle?
And what role would she, who was invited to participate in the holy communion, play in this process? Why did the Lady of the Lake want her and Sylvia to participate in the holy communion?
The questions in the female knight's mind came one after another.
After a short visit, the trip to the Ring of Lions racetrack had to be delayed. Laing and the other two had to wait in a small reception room. At noon, they would be having holy communion in the Holy Grail Cathedral.
Laing found a comfortable seat on the soft sofa and sat down. He did not look uncomfortable at all. On the contrary, the Grail Knight was very calm. "Are all the young people nowadays like this?"
"Ah?" Suria slightly tidied up her skirt. She was stunned for a moment before she realized that Laing was talking about Fiona.
"That child has been proud since she was young." Suria thought for a moment and showed a gentle smile. "People always go through these things when they grow up. I'm sure you understand."
Laing saw this and nodded. Everyone had their second half, and he was the same.
"It's just that Fiona lacked fatherly and motherly love since she was young. In order to avoid the war, she spent most of her time in Culona. In the rare occasions when she reunited with her grandfather and father, in order to make it up to them, Duke Theodoric always did his best to satisfy her needs. After a long time, she felt that she was very … very amazing." Sulia hesitated for a moment before telling him about something that happened in the past. "About two or three years ago, I met her at a banquet. She especially liked one of my teddy bears. I couldn't stand her pestering me, so I gave it to her. The next day, I was in the garden outside the banquet …"
"Found a teddy bear that was cut up?" Laing interrupted her with a smile. The man began to understand.
Fiona wanted it because it belonged to Suria. After she got it, the teddy bear became her own. Since it had become her own, the teddy bear was worthless. According to the girl's personality, it was inevitable that she would tear it up and throw it away.
"Yes." The female knight sighed softly. She didn't know what to say with her gentle personality.
Laing was also thinking.
From Fiona, he could see the common problem of the young Brittany nobles: arrogance, self-righteousness, arrogance, and prejudice.
From a certain perspective, Suria and Fiona were both spoiled princesses. However, Duke François spoiled Suria right, while Duke Theodoric spoiled Fiona too much. Therefore, the two girls showed completely different personalities.
"By the way, does this mean that Miss Suria likes teddy bears?" Laing didn't want to continue this topic. He suddenly smiled.
"Ah? Erm, yes. Don't you think teddy bears are very cute … "The female knight immediately realized that she had accidentally exposed her hobby.
Her fair and tender skin instantly turned crimson.
"So, Sulia, you like teddy bears? How interesting … "At this moment, a dazzling white light appeared in the small reception room. A beautiful figure appeared in the light.
The fairy of the lake had descended!
