Chapter 230 [Black Flame's Unholy Holy Grail]
Amidst the blazing flames, Linde strode out.
In his left hand, he was holding a dark person like a chicken, and in his right hand, he was holding a strange cup. The cup was about the size of a human head, and more like a small pot with high legs.
Rather than saying that they were engaged in a fight with the Black Flame Brothers, it would be more accurate to say that they were facing the [Unholy Grail of Black Flame], a cursed weapon with a foul odor so stinking that it touched the soul.
After coming into contact with the Unholy Grail, Lind clearly understood that it had its own consciousness.
The Unholy Grail created this Dark Night Orchard with the help of the Blackfyre Brothers, who were nothing more than enslaved believers.
The Blackfire brothers are not that strong, and the Unholy Grail doesn't seem to intend to reveal its existence. Otherwise, what awaits Lind and others now is definitely not just what they see now, and they may very likely be defeated.
Lind had many guesses, the most obvious one being that the White Knights of Raven City and the Unholy Grail were afraid of the "angels".
The zombies were not difficult to deal with. Although they had the ability to "infect", they were not very deadly. After Lind interrupted the Black Fire brothers' control over the Holy Grail, all the zombies lost their ability to move. The soldiers who had been vomiting maggots also stopped and were able to take a good breath.
The zombies were too weak. After the great knights took control of the battle rhythm, even if Lind did not take action, the so-called melee fight was just a mechanical massacre.
The surface of Lind's armor was covered with traces of burning flames. The flames he burst out with all his strength would not harm his body, but the material of the armor was ordinary after all and could not withstand high temperatures.
A large number of zombies that had stopped attacking suddenly started moving again.
"Negotiations broke down!" Lind looked at the unclean holy grail in his hand.
Just now he had a conversation with the consciousness in the Holy Grail. The other party hoped that Lind could serve it, and for this it was willing to grant Lind the power of the Great Knight.
The "Diary of Klory" found by the Black Flame brothers was actually found by the guidance of Black Flame's Unholy Holy Grail. It claimed that it possessed infinite knowledge and could satisfy all of Lind's wishes.
But Lind refused.
If the Unholy Holy Grail was really that powerful, Lind guessed that its first wish would be to kill itself, or directly wish for itself to serve it.
You can't even fulfill your own wishes, and yet you say you can fulfill mine.
Although this is a cursed weapon with a purple glow, it is definitely not waiting to be used. It will have a better destination, such as being permanently sealed.
However, as Black Flame's Unholy Holy Grail forcibly controlled the corpses' movements again, the scene became chaotic again.
……
Doris stood outside the broken manor wall holding a feather pen. After seeing the corpses crawling out, she sensed the danger and followed her body's instinct to retreat. Fortunately, the volcanic birds were guarding not far away.
The swarming corpses were dragged into the sky by the volcanic bird as they approached, and then dropped from a great height, breaking into pieces.
But the number of corpses was too large. At the beginning, the Volcano Bird could still take the initiative. Slowly, the Volcano Bird was dragged into the group of corpses until it slowly became silent.
The fighting in the distance did not attract Doris's attention at all. Looking at the rotten corpses that had broken bodies but insisted on squeezing towards her, she suddenly remembered what Lind had said a few days ago.
Will she scream?
A high temperature erupted in the distance, and the manor was covered in flames in an instant. Then the crowded and staggering figures in front of them fell to the ground one after another.
saved!
But before she could truly breathe a sigh of relief, a rotting corpse on the ground suddenly shook its rotten arms, and crawled up reluctantly, supporting itself with its elbows.
Because too much force was used, half of the corpse's arm was broken, and the insects were drilling in and out in the dragged meat strip.
"Ah——!" She couldn't bear it any longer and screamed.
The rotten corpses that had just fallen around her also gathered towards her madly, and their outstretched claws looked like the devil's claws reaching out from the abyss of hell.
The extreme fear made Doris's hair stand on end, and her knees weakened uncontrollably. When she came to her senses, she had already fallen to the ground.
The corpses were getting closer and closer. They filled Doris's field of vision. Their outstretched hands were like a quagmire swallowing up the view above her head.
She was slowly swallowed up...
Doris used her hands and feet to run backwards. When she found that she had no strength in her legs, she chose to use her palms and buttocks to slowly move backwards.
The long skirt of the court lady was rubbed on the sharp stones, leaving traces of tearing. The pain in her thigh made Doris' eyes red, but nothing could compare to the monster's claws that were so close.
If caught, would he become one of them?
At this moment, a dark figure suddenly rushed over, and black flames devoured the corpse in front of her. The breath of death stagnated for a moment, but when Doris saw who was coming clearly, her spirit was immediately dominated by greater terror.
She had noticed the Black Fire brothers long before, and now that Linde had caught one of them, the one in front of her was the other.
The other party had obviously also targeted Doris. The lines on the dark hand he stretched out were unclear, and the black flames burning between his fingers made Doris want to scream again.
Only this time, Doris couldn't make any sound from her throat.
Suddenly, the sight was enveloped by flames of another color.
A golden light lit up from behind the Black Fire brother, and the outstretched wings of burning flames pulled the golden light towards him. Although Doris could not see who the golden light was, she saw a big hand reaching out from the golden light. The big hand pressed on the back of the Black Fire brother's head and smashed him violently to the ground.
The ground paused for a moment, then "boom", as if a hole had been blown out of the ground belatedly. Orange-yellow flames burned.
Doris had never felt more trusting and secure in the flame than she did now.
The man was wearing armor that had been burned by flames. Although the patterns on the armor were blurred, the gold surface of the armor was still glowing. After being burned by flames and losing the patterns, it suddenly turned into a mirror, making the light shining from its body even more dazzling.
The pair of flaming wings on the opponent's back did not disappear. They twisted violently, blowing away the surrounding corpses and setting them on fire with flames.
He was tall and strong, like a god radiating golden light, looking down at her.
The flames were still burning on his body, and the Dark Night Orchard behind him had been completely engulfed in flames.
Behind them were corpses scattered all over the place, and great knights dragging their exhausted bodies.
They stand scattered here and there, but exude an attitude that no one will ignore.
Against the backdrop of the towering flames, their shadows were cut by the flames, forming an oil painting-like scene in the deserted manor.
Doris looked at Lind's handsome and strong face, and it was at this moment that she truly and intuitively felt Lind's power.
"My legs are weak," she said in a crying voice.
The fire on Lind's body went out, and he reached out and easily picked up Doris, just like picking up a baby, effortlessly.
When Doris was easily held in Lind's arms with one arm around her body, she was surprised to find that the armor was not hot. Before this, it had been wrapped in flames and burning.
Although it was the first time that Doris was hugged by someone, she did not have any special feelings. The heavy armor blocked any physical contact.
There should be no place safer than the lord's arms now, she thought.
"It seems you are not ready yet," Lind said.
He was talking about the recorder.
Before this, Lind's only request to her was not to be frightened and scream.
"I..." Doris couldn't say anything harsh because her legs were still weak.
The soldiers continued to burn the "fruits" of the Dark Night Orchard. The Unholy Grail still tried to resist, but in front of the well-prepared knights, the corpses had no chance to resist.
Doris was put on the ground. The sudden departure made her feel a little flustered. She had never been so greedy for someone's arms. It was not out of any special feelings, but just for the strong sense of security.
Lind looked at the Black Fire brothers who were completely tied up by the Soul-Loss Chains. With three layers inside and three layers outside, they were absolutely safe and reliable.
And when he anchored the chains on the Blackfyre brothers to the ground, the two dark brothers could only kneel.
"Now let's play a game of answering first," Lind said. "Whoever answers first and answers correctly will get the chance to answer the next question."
He likes to play similar games, provided that he is the controller of the game.
The Black Fire brothers did not respond until they heard Lind say, "Those who do not answer will be punished. It seems that something has grown in the Holy Grail. Are you interested in trying it?"
There were wriggling black maggots in the Holy Grail. Lind tentatively pinched one out, and when he crushed the maggot to death, black flames burned.
He vaguely guessed the general purpose of the Dark Night Orchard. Growing fruits was not the main reason for the orchard. Perhaps breeding maggots was the goal.
Some kind of maggot that likes to eat fruit, and this kind of fruit can only be grown in the Dark Night Orchard, so it makes sense to do all this in order to breed the maggots.
When they heard that the punishment was to eat the bugs in the Holy Grail, the two quickly nodded to show that they were willing to help.
Linde got straight to the point: "Does anyone know the formula for the potion for the Great Knight of the Sun's Proof?"
The Black Fire brother on the left immediately said: "I know!"
He quickly told me the recipe, and also told me the superior recipe with a buy one get one free offer.
Linde turned to look at the Black Fire brother on the right: "We must follow our promise. You didn't answer."
He raised his broken sword, ready to punish the loser.
As a lord he needs to keep his word.
"Wait, I also know how to use the Holy Grail!" Brother Blackfire on the right said immediately.
Nothing else matters, your own life is the most important.
Lind really likes their fear of death.
"The next step is still a quick response. Don't be anxious. Speak slowly."
