Age of Heroes, ten consecutive guarantees

Most of the saints and demigods in the world are divided into two types.

One is to open the sanctuary, plant the mental landscape in a corner of this world, and transform oneself from being rejected by the world into a lord who breaks the earth and becomes the king;

The other is to keep the seeds of the world in your body, constantly seek the truth, nourish it, and grow it.

The former is called the royal way, and the latter is called seeking the way.

There is no absolute strength or weakness between the two.

The difference is that seekers make up the vast majority and have a limit to their lifespan; kings are in the minority but can live a long time.

The reason why there are so few kings is because there are very few places suitable for planting seeds. It is like a position, there are only so many positions, and there are only those positions. If those who come after want to sit on it, they must either outlast the previous one or die. Kill the previous one.

The Queen of the Kingdom of Shadow in Scathach is one of the positions belonging to the king. She planted the seeds on the land of the Kingdom of Shadow, and her mental image and scenery merged with it. From then on, she became the master of many heroes in myths and legends.

Although it was briefly mentioned in Scathach's description, Bai Yu could guess that the battle for the king must be very fierce.

But she's not afraid of any challenge.

Anyone who covets the Kingdom of Shadows will have to face the edge of the magic spear. Even if they are saints or demigods, no less than a hundred people have died by her hands.

The magic spear that Scathach is best at is specially used to kill seekers.

…

At the dinner table, Bai Yu asked the master curiously: "Can the Holy Grail of the Fairy Kingdom be considered the king?"

"It? It's half." Scathach said lightly: "That thing belongs to the special system left by the previous king of the Fairy Kingdom. The blessings it left behind are essentially the blood and blood of the previous king. Meat, the blessed Knights of the Round Table will inevitably become the guardians of the Holy Grail."

"After breaking through the canonization, the mental images of these knights will be assimilated into the world of fairies."

"So the more Holy Grail Knights you collect, the more you can grow the Fairy Kingdom."

"The Holy Grail values ​​your potential, so it invites you to accept the blessing and go to the fairy kingdom."

...It's really sinister. It's the middle of winter, and there are so many scheming old silver coins.

Bai Yu raised his eyebrows and was about to spray.

Scathach continued: "But there are also benefits. Becoming a Knight of the Holy Grail does not mean that you lose yourself. Because of the influence of the king's way, those who stay in the goblin kingdom will age at a much slower rate than ordinary people. If they are canonized, they can live for thousands of years even if they maintain normal activities. If they choose to sleep, it will be easier to live for thousands of years. "

"This sounds quite profitable." Bai Yu touched his chin: "Generally, a saint can only live for three hundred years, and then he will be sent to reincarnation."

"The advantage is that you can live longer, but the disadvantage is that the upper limit of these Holy Grail Knights is limited." Scathach said lightly: "It is impossible to reach a higher threshold in this life. If you want to increase your strength, the fastest way is to It is to increase the number of Holy Grail Knights as soon as possible and expand the Fairy Kingdom, but..."

"The greater the number, the less power will be obtained after expansion. When there are a few people or a dozen, the progress will be obvious. When it reaches more than a hundred, it will become less and less, and it will even be almost insignificant." Bai Yu briefly summarized: "Marginal effect. "

"Yes, so in my opinion, the Holy Grail's approach is a bit wasted." Scathach shook his head and said.

"Catch all the knights with potential and lock them in the fairy kingdom, but they can't provide any further space. Even if they live for a thousand years, they will just wait for a long time to die." Bai Yu lamented.

He suddenly thought of the setting in a work. If Qin Shihuang was really immortal and lived into the twenty-first century, he would collect all the powerful military generals in history and let these generals freeze their sleep until needed. After awakening these generals, the real-life generals can be made... very similar to the Holy Grail method.

"It's not like I can't understand what the Holy Grail does." Scathach said one sentence. There was obviously a second part, but she didn't continue.

The shadow servants in the Kingdom of Shadows brought today's dinner, which was a white batter.

Bai Yu picked it up: "What is this?"

"Nutritious meal." Scathach picked up the spoon and put a mouthful into his mouth, expressionless: "There is no grass growing in the Kingdom of Shadows, and you can't even grow potatoes. These are the only things."

"I have something to say, I don't know if I should say it or not."

"Then don't say it." Scathach's attitude was quite ruthless. She naturally knew that the conditions in the Kingdom of Shadow were difficult.

Even some students who were originally apprentices dropped out of school because they found that there were no toilets here and they could only have sex.

Part of it was because there was no grass growing in the Kingdom of Shadows. Every time I went out for a field trip, I couldn't find any blades of grass and had to scrape them with stones. In the end, I was forced to drop out of school because of Kikube's work injury.

The rest is partly due to the poor food here, which caused severe constipation. I couldn't even poop out, so I broke down and skipped school.

All I can say is that things like Lashi...it seems like it has a small impact, but in fact it has a huge impact. You can't even go to the toilet, but you still want to have a good class?

Scathach thought, would this have mattered thousands of years ago?

Which one doesn’t all come here like this?

How come today’s scholars can’t even endure this little hardship?

She quietly turned her gaze and looked at Bai Yu, thinking to herself, if you dare to say it tastes bad and act mean, I will hang you on the top of the castle and let you calm down for the night.

Bai Yu reluctantly took a bite, and then immediately painfully masked... It cannot be said that it is very unpalatable, at least it tastes like chewing wax.

He raised his hand, put out the Storm Chaser's car, opened the trunk, took out a few buckets of instant noodles and put them on the table: "Try this, Her Majesty the Queen, this is delicious."

Bringing your own meals was simply not possible under the historical conditions of the past.

Even if some people are willing to bring food, they can't deliver it to the Kingdom of Shadows.

Even if the food is sent to the Kingdom of Shadows, the most filling food is usually rice, wheat, etc. It is edible, but the taste is not much better than that of glutinous rice, and the nutritional value is also average.

If you want to eat meat and drink soup... you can only wait until modern civilization begins to exert its power and various canned and instant foods become popular.

Bai Yu took out the bucket of noodles and operated it skillfully.

Very soon.

Scathach pushed the paste aside. She had not had her appetite satisfied for many years.

In other words, she has never tasted delicious food at all, and instinctively thinks that the taste is no different from grilled fish or barbecue, but in fact, the difference between the presence and absence of spices is really big.

In line with the principle of no waste, Scakhar ordered Bai Yu to eat all the paste, including the portion she didn't finish, and then put the bucket noodles away, indicating that high-end ingredients could not be wasted.

Looking at the serious expression of the old woman with two guns, Bai Yu hesitated to speak. He wanted to say how many yuan a barrel this stuff cost. Today is no longer the era when spices were more expensive than gold.

She also insisted that she was not an antique.

Who knows, the last time this queen opened her eyes to see the world was hundreds of years ago.

By the way, is there a signal from Yggdrasil here... Can you get a network connection?

Use the ever-changing Internet world to give this BBA a little shock to the world view.

It can only be said that Midwinter is still too backward, at least fifty years behind Rome, and the Queen of the Kingdom of Shadows, who is even further behind than Midwinter, is even more...

"What's that look in your eyes?" Scathach inserted a starch sausage.

"Master, your vision of the world is a little loose." Bai Yu said euphemistically: "But the cognitive gap between you and Midwinter makes up for this very well."

Snapped!

The wooden spoon hit Bai Yu on the head.

"hiss!"

He covered his head: "It hurts...no, it hurts?!"

Where is my cat?

I'm hanging a cat, why does it hurt?

Scathach said calmly: "The magic spear that must be destroyed may not be used only by the magic spear. You can use it with a spoon whenever you want. Only then can you master this trick."

"Does this have a penetrating effect?" Bai Yu didn't understand: "I am obviously a mysterious protector."

"If you can't even penetrate the mystery and the holy realm, how can you kill the seeker?" Scathach said: "My magic spear has two strikes in total, one blow to tear the holy realm, and one strike to penetrate the God Killer."

"So I also want to learn to double-gun?"

"No need." Scathach held her cheek: "This takes too much time."

Bai Yu sat up straight and asked again: "I actually want to ask, how are the realms divided after being canonized?"

"So ambitious."

"If I don't know the enemy's strength, how can I judge whether it is suitable to use the magic gun?" Bai Yu shrugged: "What if it is too powerful?"

"Above the level of sainthood, the division of realms is not too clear. Different seekers may show completely different strengths and weaknesses."

"Is it like believing in canonization?" Bai Yu despised in his heart, that is the shame of canonization.

"Belief in canonization is a mental landscape formed by the will of living beings. It gathers the power of thousands of people, so it is extremely fragile."

Scathach said calmly: "It is indeed the weakest level."

She thought for a while: "The strength of a saint is closely related to the strength of one's own world."

"Most of the saints who have just broken through are in the most elementary stage. They are rejected by the world. Although they have formed a holy realm, their pursuit of Taoism is not deep enough and they cannot embody the mental landscape. This stage can be called..."

At this point, she paused, obviously thinking of suitable adjectives.

"Inner scene." Bai Yu said: "The inner scene is the scenery."

"The name is not important, but the saying that the inner landscape is quite accurate." Scathach said: "The second stage is to manifest the inner landscape to the outside world and connect one's own world with the outside world. It can be called ...Explicit."

"What a good name." After all, Bai Yu was a laborer in his last life. He could praise his leader's literary talent without blushing, he could just open his mouth.

But the queen doesn't accept this trick. Sweet words are of no use to a woman who is old enough to be an ancestor.

"The stage of external manifestation is actually too general. It covers many things, because once it reaches external manifestation, it means that a new land can be created in this world and it can become the master of a country."

"However, the size, duration, etc. of the external self-world will be restricted."

"Extreme manifestation..." Bai Yu said: "Maybe it can create a world?"

"The world?" Scathach's indifferent expression had an added subtlety, as if he saw a silly child asking, 'What did people breathe before oxygen was discovered?'

"Is not it?"

"The world is so vast that it cannot be accomplished by an external being. The world you are talking about is not the world, but the land under your feet."

Scathach raised his gaze and said meaningfully: "But in my eyes, manifesters of this level actually exist."

"What do you mean?" Bai Yu couldn't help but sit up straight. Just discussing this issue made him feel chills running down his spine.

I originally thought we were just chatting about realms, but the queen said, "That exists," which was as scary as everyone laughing and saying magical girls are cute, but the guy at the next table actually took out a fairy wand and transformed.

Scathach raised his finger: "Look up at the sky, what do you see?"

Bai Yu raised his head and looked out the window. The Kingdom of Shadows was a cold, dead world where sunlight could not shine. But every time it was dark, the aurora came from the polar night, and the stars shone in the night sky.

His eyes widened.

"...is it a star?"
