Chapter 569: Nanook's Holy Grail
Utopia, the Tavern at the End of the World.
"Is it over like this?" Bai'e looked at the phone that Xingde handed to him.
"Yeah, it's just like the screenwriter was too lazy to write the story and just ended it hastily." Xing put away his phone.
"Haha." Bai'e laughed, "But, not having to fight is a good thing after all."
"If I have to say, the focus of this Holy Grail War is not on the Holy Grail. It seems that no one has any interest in the Holy Grail." Bai Er stroked the hilt of the sword in his hand, reluctant to let it go.
During this time, he tried to dye the sword yellow and purple, but no matter how hard he tried, the color wouldn't stick, as if the weapon itself was resisting.
Why is this sword so aesthetically pleasing?
Helplessly, Bai E put the sword on the table.
"Hmm!" Bai'e realized that he was attacked.
I don't know when, but Xing had already put on a baseball cap, sunglasses and a mask, changed into a professional suit, and dressed like a paparazzi.
She held a black microphone in her hand and poked Bai'e's nostrils again and again.
"Mr. Bai'e, do you have anything to say about this acquisition of the Holy Grail?"
"And about this sponsored trip."
Bai'e raised his hand to stop Xing from poking his nostrils with the microphone.
Just as he opened his mouth to say something, Xing turned around and poked the microphone into Bai'e's mouth.
This forced Bai'e to raise his hands in surrender and step back with his head tilted.
"Okay, okay." After a few seconds, Bai E successfully escaped.
"So how do you feel?" Xing's body was surrounded by golden light for several times, but she still held the microphone stubbornly and could not pass it to Bai'e's mouth.
Bai Er shook his head. "I don't have much feeling. After all, the Holy Grail can only do so much. It doesn't help me much."
He had already learned about the plot of Ompharos from Xing's mobile phone, and Bai'e was skeptical about how much the Holy Grail could do.
"However, I definitely gained a lot. First of all, I learned about what will happen in the future." Bai'e smiled. "Then it's about broadening my horizons. I've learned a lot here, and even witnessed the divine war in the sky with my own eyes. It's completely different from the war between the demigods and the Golden Born back there."
Then he pointed to the "Invasion of the Morning" on the table.
"And then there's 'Dawn Invasion'. It seems to be much more powerful than the original sword from the future, and it has more functions."
"But when you really fight Nanook, this sword won't give you much of a boost, right?" Xing asked curiously.
"That's not how it works." Bai'e shook his head. "I've read a few novels by Russell recently, and they mentioned some martial arts masters who can hurt people even by picking flowers or leaves. But, no matter what, a real knife is much better than a leaf."
"Just like you told me about 'Yoki', she is very strong, but she will be even stronger when she holds that sword 'Nu'."
"So are you going to try to make two more cuts in Nanook?" Xing asked, "or try a different approach?"
Bai Er glanced back and said, "If possible, I really hope Nanook can witness the sun from another world."
He paused, then changed the subject: "Compared to a fire that only knows how to burn, a real sun can do more and better things."
"In short, I think this sword will help me better carry Omphalos."
Boom boom boom.
There was a knock on the half-open door of the tavern, interrupting the conversation between Xing and Bai'e.
"Is Mr. Caiuslana here? And Miss Xing. There's a delivery for you."
A courier wearing a blue uniform and a helmet with a little yellow duck on top appeared at the door of the tavern on an electric scooter and knocked on the door.
"I'm Caiuslana." Bai'e walked to the door. "What delivery?"
"Your Holy Grail has arrived," the courier said.
As he spoke, the courier took out a cardboard box from the back seat of the electric bike and handed it to Bai E who was walking to the door to meet the courier.
Bai E reached out to take the cardboard box and subconsciously looked at the words on it.
The next second, Bai'e's eyes suddenly widened. Having experienced countless battles, both large and small, he was unusually out of control this time. He read out the words in disbelief:
"Star God co-branded top-grade instrument, ultra-tight, ultra-realistic, odorless, built-in suction, and a 100% replica of Nanook's Holy Grail."
"What is this!"
Bai'er raised his head and looked at the helmeted courier in front of him in shock.
Then, he looked down again, his eyes widening even more: "No, you actually support seven-day no-questions-asked returns on this thing!"
"Adapt to the market and operate with integrity." The courier adjusted his helmet, turned around, and rummaged through the basket in the back seat of the car. Suddenly, he realized, "Oh, sorry, I got the wrong one. This is your Holy Grail."
The courier took out another box and gave it to Bai'e.
This time, the box only had the words "Confidential Shipping" written on it.
Baier tossed the Nanook Chalice back to the courier like it was a hot potato.
"You don't want this?" the courier asked. "They're all out there. Buy one."
"No, no, no." Bai E waved his hands repeatedly.
"If you don't want it, we have other options here." The courier continued to rummage through the back seat of the car.
"We also have the Kripper Grail with enhanced firmness, the IX Grail with enhanced adsorption, and the Hippe Grail that can be used by multiple people..."
"And the high-tech, fully automatic Holy Grail of Knowledge..."
"Of course, I recommend the Aha Holy Grail that randomly triggers special effects. It can randomly trigger effects such as heating, cooling, electric shock, tearing, poisoning, scarlet corruption, and suicide..."
"Do you have Achievelli's?" Xing came over after picking up the loose rope without knowing when.
"Yes, yes. This is the Achievelli Holy Grail, where every second is a new experience. We're having a buy-one-get-one-free promotion right now."
"How do I pay?"

.
"Company Treasure has arrived, one million credit points."
"The money has been scanned." Xing waved her phone, and the payment confirmation screen appeared on the screen. "If it's a buy-one-get-one-free deal, we want this Nanook too."
"Okay!" The courier put on a professional smile and deftly shoved the Nanook's Grail box, emblazoned with a catchy slogan and just thrown back by Bai'e, into Xing's arms. Beneath the blue helmet, a pair of eyes seemed to curl in a kind of tacit understanding. "Here, I hope you enjoy your experience."
After doing all this, he extended his index finger and nonchalantly poked the little yellow duck toy on top of the helmet, which swayed slightly with his movements.
Quack! Quack! Quack!
The sudden and comical quacking of a duck tore through the stagnant air in front of the tavern.
As if completing some sacred ritual, the courier straightened his helmet with satisfaction and climbed onto his half-worn electric scooter. The engine emitted a low hum, carrying this absurd scene and the "messenger" wearing a duck helmet, as it zigzagged away from the door of the "End of the World Tavern" and quickly disappeared into the misty street corner of the utopian morning, leaving only a few fading and fading creaking sounds drifting away in the morning breeze.
"Partner, what are you doing..." Bai E held a cardboard box with the words "Confidential Shipping" written on it, with a strange expression on his face.
He hesitated to speak, and the second half of the sentence remained in his mouth without uttering it.
Will it work after you buy it?
Xing shook the "Achievelli Holy Grail" in his hand and said matter-of-factly, "We will visit many planets in the future, such as Edo Planet and Benzai Heaven."
"Those are the places of pleasure. I want to see if I can catch some Ahaha with this."
"You know, they're a couple."
After saying this, Xing added, "This is what the masked fool, Ceris, told me. I also got confirmation from Aha in the simulated universe, so it can't be wrong."
"Really?" Bai E nodded without comment, the smile on his face still there, but it was a little stiff.
He walked to the table and put the carton down.
Xing continued, "If it's really not possible, it would be nice to leave it to the train conductor as a memorial. The conductor always remembered Achievelli very much and often told us the stories of 'The Worst Nameless Guest' and 'The Worst Nameless Guest'."
Bai'er didn't think it was a good souvenir, but what if?
What if the train crew had a custom of taking the Holy Grail as a souvenir?
Bai Er opened the cardboard box in his hand and took out the real Holy Grail: "This is the final reward of the Holy Grail War."
Xing put down the two cardboard boxes in his hands and walked over.
In Bai'er's hand was a golden goblet with golden patterns on it.
"Wow, this is the Holy Grail, so powerful." Xing read with an expressionless face.
Bai Er was amused and laughed. "Things that are hard-earned are more cherished. Things that are too easy to obtain are less attractive. You think so too, right, partner?"
"Oh, no, not really. I just have one on my boat," Xing replied.
Although the timeline does not match, it is well known that the plot of the event exists at every point in time.
"Come, make a wish." Xing placed a candle into the Holy Grail and put a birthday hat on Bai'er's head. "Although today is not your birthday and I don't have 33550336 candles, since we are going to make a wish, why not light a candle and put on a hat as a token of my appreciation?"
Bai'er was stunned for a moment, then straightened his hat with a sense of interest.
Close your eyes and start making a wish.
...
the next day.
St. Samuel's Church, Beckland, North End.
Clain, wearing a black trench coat and a black half-high silk hat, carried a cane. He set out from St. Clain's Church and rode a carriage with the Holy Symbol of the Fool all the way to the Church of the Goddess of Night.
Along the way, the carriage attracted a lot of attention, some of which was malicious.
Especially the intricate pattern that combines pupilless eyes, twisting lines, happy smiling faces, and knotted rope frames.
The black carriage rolled over the wet cobblestone road, making a dull and regular sound, and finally stopped in front of the broad steps of the solemn and austere St. Samuel's Church.
As Justice Audrey said, many people are secretly inciting hostility towards the Church of Fools.
However, the malice did not diminish when Medici left the stage.
It seems that the murderer is someone else.
The car door opened, and a foot in a shiny black leather shoe stepped steadily on the stone step.
Then there's the fitted black trench coat, a matching half-high silk hat, and a silver-studded cane...
Crane, holding his hat with one hand, calmly stepped out of the carriage.
Leonard stood at the church door looking at Crane with a struggling look in his eyes.
Clain remembered the joke he had made to Leonard before and had no intention of explaining. Instead, he acted as if he was indifferent to life and death. He nodded to Leonard and walked straight into the church.
Leonard watched Crane enter the church, his teeth clenched and his fists clenched.
Unconsciously, I began to feel a little angry towards Mr. Fool.
Yes, Mr. Fool did help him a lot, but Crane...
Could he really just watch Crane die?
He can really...
The crosshairs in Leonard's right eye were stained blood red.
"Behave yourself, boy." Pales' voice rang in Leonard's ears.
"What do you want to do? What can you do?"
Leonard closed his eyes, then opened them again after a few seconds, his expression returning to normalMeeting

Chapter 571 Meeting
Clayne walked into the dark prayer hall with steady and silent steps.
The hall was dimly lit, as if shrouded in an endless veil of night. Only the Holy Symbol of Night on the altar shone faintly with a silver glow, like a shadow cast by quiet starlight.
Like the most devout believer, he scanned the rows of empty benches, and finally chose an inconspicuous spot in the corner. He sat down quietly, immersing himself in this sacred tranquility, as if afraid that the slightest unnecessary sound would disturb his deep sleep.
Everyone knows that the Church of Fools' prayer gestures are used to impersonate believers from other churches.
Everyone watched as Crane got off the carriage with the "Holy Emblem of Fool" and sat down and began to pray without questioning anything.
But everyone felt that this foolish believer was a bit too bold.
This has been provoked to the doorstep of the Church of Night... no, it has been provoked directly to the bedroom. Why hasn't the pastor thrown him out yet?
He glanced at the holy emblem of night on the altar, lowered his head, clasped his hands, and whispered,
"Goddess of Night, higher than the starry sky, more eternal than eternity."
"You are the mother of secrets."
"Queen of misfortune and terror, lord of sleep and silence."
As he recited the mantra, Clain, with his eyes closed, gradually felt calm and peaceful, as if he had entered a state of half-sleep and half-wakefulness.
This feeling flashed by, and the faint gray mist surrounding Crane, invisible to ordinary people, spontaneously grafted the "awakeness" of a certain Crane in history onto the present Crane.
Crane suddenly came to his senses.
But he did not close his eyes and allowed himself to fall asleep while awake.
Soon, he opened his eyes again.
There was an endless darkness in front of his eyes, and at his feet were clusters of night-blooming herbs and deep-sleeping flowers.
It is so quiet here that even breathing seems to disturb the invisible sleepers.
This is the dark heaven, the kingdom of the goddess of night.
Before Crane had time to look around, a figure suddenly descended from the depths of darkness.
This divine kingdom clearly has no distinction between sky and earth, yet the human figure seemed to come from the high-hanging red moon or the stars.
He wore a layered yet simple dark long dress, dotted with countless sparkling stars, as if he had draped the starry night sky over his body.
His head was vague and difficult to see clearly, but it was certain that he was a woman.
Although this deep, quiet aura eroded the light gray mist surrounding Crane, Crane did not reveal his "mysterious realm".
Although it was his first time being a god and he had little experience, he instinctively felt that it would be very rude to expand his kingdom within the kingdom of another god.
At least when the Goddess of Night and the Mother Goddess of Earth visited Roselle, they did not open their own kingdoms.
Such behavior usually only occurs when the kingdoms of two true gods clash with each other.
Although he couldn't see the face, Crane could sense kindness and could tell the other person was smiling. It seemed that Joy's sensitivity to clarity was even greater than the secrets of darkness.
Amanisis smiled, nodded slightly, and bowed slightly:
"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool."
His voice is so pleasant and gentle, like a lullaby at night.
Clayne returned the greeting with a gentlemanly gesture:
"Good afternoon, Night Goddess."
The goddess of night created a table in her dream, with desserts on it.
The two of them sat down, one in front and one behind.
"I think you should know why I'm here."
Crane smiled back.
"nature."
Amanesis replied.
Two of its hands are folded over the abdomen, and the other four hands are either clasped in front of the chest or with the palms facing each other.
"I will give you the uniqueness of the Fool, and I believe you can accept it."
"But as you might have guessed, I have something I need you to do."
"What do you need me to do?" Crane asked as if he was thinking.
Although I have basically guessed it, I still need to confirm it.
The dream projection of the goddess of night, Amanesis, said with a hint of a smile,
"I need water from the River of Eternal Darkness."
really...
For Crane, this answer was not surprising at all. It was even within his guess, making him feel like the second shoe had finally dropped.
He considered it for a moment and said:
"Is it just the river?"
"Perhaps I can help you graft a part of it into your kingdom of God, forming a tributary of the River of Eternal Darkness."
The dream projection of the goddess of night, Amanesis, shook her head slightly and said,
"You are not yet able to graft the 'River of Eternal Darkness'. You will understand this when you reach the depths of Calderon."
"Even with the help of Sefirah Castle, we can't do it?" Crane asked.
"It's difficult." The Goddess of Night gave a tactful answer.
"Some things, I'll ask you when you come back."
"Or rather, once you're promoted... you'll naturally know."
"I have some guesses," Crane replied.
The goddess of night, Amanissis, was silent for a few seconds.
"You are very smart," He said.
Without waiting for Crane's response, He added,
"The River of Eternal Darkness presents unusual dangers for you. It's best to wait until your mental state stabilizes before going."
Clay blinked, then said with a smile, "You noticed it too."
"Leonard can barely be considered my follower." Amanisis nodded.
"Okay. I understand."
Although Crane had no idea what he would encounter deep within Calderon City, he knew that his current condition was not suitable for adventure, especially adventures involving Essence.
Clain picked up the teacup on the table, brought it to his lips and took a sip.
It tastes good, but he doesn't know how to taste tea.
Clain began to look around the kingdom of the Goddess of Night, and at the same time chatted with her about some unimportant things.
After a while, Crane put down his teacup and stood up to say goodbye.
The figure in front of him quickly became blurred, and the night-blooming vanilla and deep-sleeping flower under his feet flew up one after another, filling the darkness.
He then opened his eyes and saw the dark hall and the pure light shining through the holes in the wall, the latter like stars inlaid in the velvety night sky
