Pastor's Tantra

Chapter 507 Lancelot’s Curiosity

When Lancelot woke up again, he found that he did not appear on the emerald grassland he had dreamed of.

"How is this going?"

After he opened his eyes, he found that he was still lying on the dry and desolate gray grassland of the Kingdom of Shadows.

The sky is still his familiar, colorless gray-black color.

It stands to reason that when Lancelot truly dies, the knights of the Silver Crowned Dragon...that is, his former colleagues and comrades-in-arms, will descend from the dream world on the Rainbow Bridge and lead his soul. To the realm of the Silver Crowned Dragon.

The towering mountains covered with snow are the crystal mountains where the Silver Crowned Dragon lives. Distinguished guests come to visit from time to time. There is also a large library presented by Weizhe, where the knights can study and study; usually the knights will Riding horses on the emerald grassland at the foot of the mountain.

There is a lakeside scenery that is always sunny, which is completely different from the Kingdom of Shadows where Lancelot lived for more than four hundred years.

This place is close to the fairy kingdom. Occasionally, lost fairies will stray into it, and some fairies will stay in admiration of the beauty here and become musicians and poets in the authoritative field. There are also some fairies from the Kingdom of Shadows who occasionally come to bathe in the lake and get to know the heroic knights they admire.

If it weren't for keeping the promise he made to Merlin, Lancelot would never have stayed in the dark Kingdom of Shadows to hone his martial arts.

Only in the Kingdom of Shadows, where there is no sun, no moon, no life and no death, can Lancelot be resurrected by the great ceremony of "Shadow of Avalon". After all, this ritual itself relies on the power of the Queen of the Kingdom of Shadows to resurrect from the dead and reshape her body.

...Looking back now, I feel like I might as well have been dead.

But if he died now, the four hundred years of hard training would seem to have been wasted. When he arrived at the Emerald Grassland, those old brothers he had not seen for four hundred years would probably laugh at him again.

Thinking of this, Lancelot couldn't help but put his hand on his forehead. I feel a headache coming on.

"Eh?"

At this moment, a gentle and mature voice came: "Lancelot? Didn't I hear that you left?"

When Lancelot heard this, he felt bad and reluctantly opened his eyes: "Morgan...?"

With long silver-blue hair and eyes as clear as sapphires - this is the elf witch who has now transformed into a fairy. She is Gawain's biological mother and Mordred's adoptive mother.

She smiled slightly and stretched out her hand to hold Lancelot's. It seemed to be pulling him up.

She was friends with Vivian, and through Vivian's relationship, she studied magic under Merlin for a while.

And Lancelot knew a secret, that is, Morgan had a relationship with Arthur, who was born as a mortal. After all, Arthur's war with the High Heavens was not just one battle. And he was also wounded and dying, and it was Morgan who cured Arthur at that time.

As a witch in the realm of love, her method of treating Arthur is naturally quite witch-like.

What made Lancelot feel even more numb was that Morgan seemed to have taken a liking to him again.

Although she initially ascended to the Emerald Grassland as the apostle of the Silver Crown Dragon... but when she learned that Lancelot planned to go to the Kingdom of Shadows to learn skills, she ran after him.

Now Morgan has become the apostle of Ying Tiansi and often appears with Vivian.

Even though Morgan and Arthur only had a one-night relationship, and the Silver Crowned Dragon never cared about her... Lancelot still didn't dare to bet on the boss's opinion of her. Even though Morgan showed kindness to Lancelot many times, Lancelot never dared to touch Morgan. After all, he still hopes to return to the Emerald Grassland after his death.

"...It seems like something went wrong and the situation is a bit troublesome."

Lancelot coughed dryly and sat up from the grassland without holding Morgan's hand: "It seems that I was indeed summoned to the material world by the 'Shadow of Avalon' ritual... But then I was used as a sacrifice. He was sacrificed as a product, and his newly resurrected body was snatched away by the city breaker. Then he met some people... and then suddenly came back."

"The city breaker? Enyo?"

Morgan was surprised when he heard the name: "Are you sure?"

"...What's wrong?" Lancelot realized something was wrong.

"She just died, and Xiong Tiansi went crazy again."

"died?"

Lancelot was stunned for a moment: "Who killed him?"

"I do not know."

"...She wasn't resurrected?"

Now Lancelot was also surprised: "Wouldn't it be nice to ask after resurrection?"

Logically speaking, phantoms are immortal—from this point of view, the material world is like an incubator. After the soul sublimates into a phantom, it can survive in the dream world forever. Those souls that failed to sublimate will be shattered and reshaped randomly.

After repeated cycles, the number of phantoms will increase.

Unless it is devoured by a phantom of the same path, the phantom will reshape its body from the dream world after its death; even if both body and spirit are destroyed, at most it will become a phantom egg and be reborn from the material world.

"That's the problem," Morgan said seriously, "She didn't resurrect from the dream world - she should have turned into a phantom egg."

Becoming a phantom egg means being stripped of all power and falling into complete and complete death.

According to Lancelot, even if he is resurrected from the phantom egg form, he cannot be regarded as the same existence as before... The old memory is fuzzy and incomplete, and the only clear one is the memory of the host in this life.

"…strange things."

Lancelot murmured.

He subconsciously recalled the ritual that briefly summoned him.

If there is any problem... then it can only be this.

Shadow of Avalon Ritual...Did something go wrong, or was someone tampered with?

"Since you have met the city breaker, why not come with me to meet Her Majesty the Queen."

Morgan enthusiastically invited: "Her Majesty the Queen is summoning us to discuss this matter."

"Her Majesty the Queen" is their honorific title for Yingtiansi. After all, Yingtiansi calls herself the Queen of the Kingdom of Shadows.

"...I have to go there."

Lancelot nodded slowly.

He suddenly thought of something: "By the way, I remember it was Merlin who maintained this ritual, right?"

"No, Merlin is only responsible for constructing the ritual. Vivian is responsible for maintaining it." Morgan shook his head.

Lancelot paused when he heard his adoptive mother's name.

He and Vivian had a complete falling out a long time ago, and now they are almost half enemies. Basically we never meet.

But thinking about the issue of the Shadow of Avalon ritual, Lancelot endured the strange feeling in his heart and insisted on asking: "What about Vivian? I have something to ask her..."

"She's gone."

Morgan was also a little surprised that Lancelot actually wanted to find Vivian...

But she still explained: "It disappeared for a long time."

"...disappearance means?"

Lancelot was surprised - Vivian was also killed?

Guessing what Lancelot was thinking, Morgan shook his head and explained: "She wasn't killed, she ran away on her own. Since Her Majesty the Queen can't be found, it means that she is not in the dream world or through the shadow sky. Si’s temple has appeared in this world...so I think she may have been reincarnated.”

...Why are you suddenly reincarnated at this time?

For some reason, Lancelot suddenly remembered the ritual that went wrong.

Lancelot's expression suddenly became subtle: "...Are you sure you can't contact me?"

Could it be that Vivian just ran away because there was a big problem with the ceremony that couldn't be solved?

Over the past few decades, Lancelot has met a good brother in the Kingdom of Shadows. He died from the ancient kingdom of Parthia.

According to that buddy, the magicians in the Ancient Kingdom of Anxi like to do something big, as if they can't prove their level without writing a big ritual. Therefore, they need to get a lot of funds from the benefactors, and it is very likely that the ceremony will not be able to achieve the needs promised in the initial bragging.

——So there is a saying there that only one of the ritual and the ritual master can escape.

"...I'm afraid Vivian ran away. I have a bad feeling."

Lancelot thought of that strange experience, and warned: "I may have been summoned to the simulated world line by some pillar god just now. I went through the Shadow of Avalon ritual that exists in reality. There is definitely something wrong with that ritual. ...I suspect it can pull the apostle directly to the material world and kill it.

"—I suggest you ask the wolf cub that Vivian raised. He should know where his master is."

Lancelot didn't have a good attitude towards that guy.

Whether Vivian is his adoptive mother or his lover, the young wolf cubs she raises are displeasing to Lancelot.

"I've looked for it."

Morgan answered without hesitation: "I have been looking for it for a long time - even twice. I looked for her when she first disappeared seven years ago. Last year, I was worried, so I looked for her again. But he did I don’t know where Vivian is.”

"...Then ask Merlin."

That Merlin bitch might know—sometimes Lancelot thought he knew everything.

"Merlin can't be found either."

Morgan smiled bitterly: "He basically never returns to the dream world, and has been playing in the material world. We can't lock him with rituals, so who knows where he is now. Let me tell you, I am very familiar with the teacher... as long as he If he doesn’t want to see you, you will definitely not be able to find him.”

"I'm also very familiar with that bitch - but no matter how he runs away, Weizhe must know it."

Lancelot was a little anxious: "Should we ask Gawain to ask? If you go and talk to Gawain, he will definitely go."

"It's not a good idea to trouble Pillar God for this matter, isn't it? Your Majesty might also be unhappy..."

Morgan was still hesitant.

But Lancelot could see clearly that she simply didn't want to return to the Emerald Grassland. There are several of her children over there, as well as her lover who has now become the Pillar God...

This is the trouble for people on the path of love. Once you live for a long time, all kinds of complicated emotions will become a mess.

However, Morgan finally sighed and could not refuse Lancelot's request: "Forget it, I'll go and ask - but don't hold out too much hope. Even if you can contact Merlin, he may not know about Vivian." where."

"It's always good to try."

Lancelot still warned: "It's better to be careful... I think the Shadow of Avalon ritual has become very dangerous now, and it is completely different from Merlin's original design. I suspect Vivian may be preparing some conspiracy."

"She won't prepare any conspiracy, don't worry."

Morgan just smiled and comforted: "I know her best."

——Can you understand her with me?

Lancelot thought to himself.

But he was polite enough not to say it directly.

"Oh, by the way," Lancelot thought of another name: "Do you know Aiwass Moriarty?"

"...A descendant of Mordred?"

Morgan's expression was a little strange: "What's wrong?"

Mordred is her adopted son. Although he is not related by blood...but Mordred's descendants are not related by blood either. From this point of view, since Mordred can be regarded as the ancestor of the Moriarty family, she can also be regarded in a sense.

"I'm a little curious about him. Please help me investigate him... He should be young, a priest, and very handsome."

Lancelot said: "I can't leave the Kingdom of Shadows, can you help me find him?"

"Okay, this is quick. It's much easier than going to Gawain."

Morgan smiled and said: "After meeting the Queen, I will go down and take a look... Since his surname is Moriarty, he should live on Glass Island, right? Then I will go directly to Glass Island for a walk. I should know him there. people."

As a fairy, she can briefly appear from any lake in the material world at will. And Glass Island happened to have a large lake, so it was quite convenient for her to go there.

Those who throw axes around the lake see fairies like them.

"Remember to bring my kindness with you."

Lancelot enjoined: "Just say that everything is fine with me - I have returned to the Kingdom of Shadows, and it is a pleasure to fight alongside him. I hope we can meet again in the future. I will treat him to a drink then."

What he meant was that he hoped Aiwass could ascend to the dream world in the future. By then, Aiwass can come to the Kingdom of Shadows to find him.

They were said to be fighting side by side...but they were actually two souls squeezed into one body, and they were beaten violently by the city breaker together.

But thanks to mutual support, their souls were not directly crushed by the city breaker. If there was only one person, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to hold on for long before he would be crushed... Although Lancelot lived for a long time, he was not an apostle after all, and his soul had not been sublimated.

However, Morgan's expression was a little subtle.

A dead person tells a living person that he hopes to meet in the future... This sentence does not seem very auspicious.

So she turned around and asked, "Then should I help you bring him some tokens?"

"...It's possible, but I really don't have any belongings."

Lancelot thought for a while: "You can give Aiwass a gift for me, Morgan. Thank you. I will make it up to you later."

The fairies in the lake are very rich.

After all, they were once witches, and even if they were transformed into fairies or witches, they still had the ability to make magical objects and magic potions. Just a few hundred years of mutual exchange can accumulate a large amount of wealth.

"No problem, I'll give it to you then."

Morgan was very satisfied with Lancelot's words and said with a smile: "I am also looking forward to your gift."
