Infinite Terror: This Middle Continent is Rebellious

Chapter 157 The Power of the Holy Grail

The old knight reminisced about the past and said to Wen Lie, "I was already sixty years old when I drank the water from the Holy Grail. I was one of the most powerful knights at the time. My ripple level was even stronger than yours now, but I had reached the limit of humanity and was beginning to decline. That's why I drank the water from the Holy Grail."

Wen Lie asked, "Are there any side effects of the Holy Grail water?"

The old knight said with a stern face, "The Holy Grail is a gift from God. How could it have any side effects? It's because the human body cannot withstand the power of the Holy Grail."

"Yes, the Holy Grail has no side effects."

Wen Lie rolled his eyes. Fanatics are trouble.

The old knight stood up with difficulty and walked towards the platform where dozens of cups were placed. With a wave of his arm, more than a dozen expensive gold cups fell to the ground, leaving only the cheapest-looking, shabby cup sitting on the empty stone platform.

"Fill the holy chalice with water and drink it. A tree of life will grow in your body. The tree of life will absorb your energy and thrive, allowing your life to sublimate towards the original man Adam."

The old knight lifted the Holy Grail with force and handed it to Wen Lie.

Wen Lie took the Holy Grail, and immediately the Lord God’s reminder sounded in his ears.

"Complete the hidden side storyline in the Mummy world, obtain a B-level side storyline, and 5000 reward points."

"Obtain the plot item... The Holy Grail of Evolution. Those who have unlocked their fourth-level genetic locks and drink the water from the Holy Grail will gain immense energy and promote the evolution of life. Those who haven't unlocked their fourth-level genetic locks and drink the water from the Holy Grail will experience genetic disorder... Unlimited use."

Except that it does not have the effect of evolving to the fifth level when worn at the fourth level, other aspects are the same as the Stone Mask.

The side effect of genetic disorder is indeed difficult to solve.

The old knight continued, "A strong body will strengthen the ripples, which in turn will provide energy to the Tree of Life, thus achieving a balance. Ancient knights used this method to break through the limits of the human body and battle the demons that preyed on humans."

Wen Lie suddenly realized.

In short, the body transformed by the Holy Grail obtains energy from its own blood, while the body transformed by the Stone Face obtains energy from the blood of others.

Just like the difference between a Ripple Warrior and a Vampire.

The existence of Ripple Qigong and the power of the Holy Grail formed a cycle, solving the defect of genetic disorder.

The old knight sighed and said, "However, the growth of the Tree of Life is irreversible and will not stop. When the efficiency of the Ripple Breathing lags behind the growth rate of the Tree of Life, the Tree of Life will turn to absorb the energy of the flesh in order to grow, causing the Ripple Warrior's body to gradually age and eventually turn to dust."

It seems that ripple breathing cannot completely solve the problem of genetic disorder.

Wen Lie was not surprised by this.

The standard for the early stage of the fourth stage is subtle skills and genetic evolution.

The fourth stage of mass production, the genetically evolved brakes failed, the accelerator was stepped on to the bottom, but the subtle control could not be achieved overnight.

After all, advanced life forms are advanced life forms, and the fourth-level gene lock is the fourth-level gene lock. Advanced life forms simply possess the characteristics of a fourth-level gene lock.

Wen Lie said nonchalantly, "But you've lived for seven hundred years, so it seems this problem isn't that serious."

The old knight explained, "That's because of the Holy Grail. After your body ages, you can use the water from the Holy Grail to water the Tree of Life, and your lifespan will be extended for another 100 days. However, if you fight, you will become like me now."

"I see."

Wen Lie nodded. So, isn't there a solution?

The Holy Grail, Ripple Breathing, and Triple Test respectively solved the problems of genetic disorder and rampant inner demons. I can only say that Ye Ge is awesome.

"Come, young knight, take this sword. From now on, you will have the honor of guarding the Holy Grail."

After telling Wen Lie all the detailed usages of the Holy Grail, the old knight tremblingly picked up the holy sword from beside the stone table and handed it to Wen Lie.

Wen Lie grasped the holy sword, and the Lord God's appraisal sounded.

"Obtain a plot item... Durandal, an angel-given immortal blade infused with the tooth of Saint Peter, the blood of Saint Basil, the hair of Saint Denis, the garment of the Virgin Mary, and the hair of Jesus. The bearer will be blessed by God and the angels and can perform miracles. As long as it's a possible phenomenon, most things can be achieved. However, the price is very high, and the user must possess holy attributes."

One of the three great holy swords in Europe, Durandal represents France, and it is authentic!
When Wen Lie held the hilt of the sword, he could feel the power contained in Durandal. It was a hundred or even ninety times more powerful than the imitation purchased from Rocamadour, and was not much weaker than the Spear of Longinus.

A Holy Grail of at least S-rank, and a Durandal of at least A-rank.

Compared to a mere B-level side storyline, these two story items are the real rewards of this mission.

Seeing Wen Lie accepting Durandal, the old knight smiled with satisfaction, and there was also a hint of relief in this smile. His hair fell out rapidly, his skin became dry and rough, his body gradually shrank, and his whole body turned gray.

In just a few seconds, the old knight's body turned into ashes and scattered on the floor of the stone chamber.

Without feeling much gratitude towards the old knight who had stayed true to his mission, Wen Lie took the Holy Grail and Durandal, turned around and walked out of the stone chamber, and picked up Stret who had collapsed on the way.

Seeing Wen Lie returning safely, Zheng Lan walked towards Wen Lie excitedly and hugged him tightly.

"Great, you're okay. If you died in there, I would have beaten Chu Xuan up again. How can I gamble my life on that? It's not like there's no safer way."

Chu Xuan looked at Zheng Lan indifferently, and a white light flashed across his smooth lenses.

Cheng Xiao, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but shudder when he saw this, and looked at Zheng Lan with a strange look.

In the Zhongzhou team, Zheng Lan is the most rude to Chu Xuan. This guy is really not afraid that Chu Xuan will hold a grudge against him. It's not like he hasn't experienced Chu Xuan's methods before.

Wen Lie also hugged Zheng Lan's back and said with a pleasant smile: "The greater the risk, the greater the reward...Brother, you are so soft."

"Screw you."

Zheng Lan pushed Wen Lie away, rolled her eyes at him, and her tense spirit relaxed.

Zhao Yingkong, Xiao Honglu, Ming Yanwei and others also breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing the Holy Grail and Holy Sword in Wen Lie's hands, Kazem's eyes lit up and he was even more excited than Zheng Lan.

All members of the Cross Sword Brotherhood bowed respectfully to Wen Lie.

After seven hundred years, a new Holy Grail Knight was born. Witnessing this inheritance with their own eyes, all members of the Brotherhood of the Cross Sword felt extremely honored.

The respect and recognition of the Brotherhood of the Cross Sword also brought great convenience to Wen Lie. When Street and Henry Jones were taken away by the Central Plains team, Kazem and his team had no doubts and provided a way to contact them, saying that if they were needed in the future, they could just let them know.

Carrying Durandal, the Holy Grail, and the power of the Christian Supernatural Organization, the Zhongzhou team returned with a full load.
