I rely on myself

Chapter 495 The Secret Revealed
"...If my feeling is correct, their essence should also be 'steel'!"

Lancelot said this fact which many people could see. Hearing this, Guinevere looked puzzled. She didn't know why her uncle said this obvious fact.

The fact that the Knights are made of 'steel' is obvious to Guinevere, not to mention Guinevere, even some knowledgeable people can see this, so Guinevere really doesn't understand why Lancelot emphasized this point.

Lancelot naturally saw Guinevere's confusion, but he was not annoyed. After all, she knew that what she said was completely meaningless to most people, so she continued to explain.

"I say this because of their nature. If I had only heard about them before, I would have thought that those giant knights only possessed a portion of the power of 'steel'. But after watching the battle just now, I know that I was wrong. They don't possess a portion of the power of 'steel', but they are 'steel' themselves!"

“…Is there any difference between the two?”

After hearing this, Guinevere still couldn't understand what Lancelot meant, which was not surprising to Lancelot. After all, what she said was closely related to "steel".

Although Guinevere is the one she protects, she still belongs to the Earth Mother Goddess, so it is normal that she doesn't understand.

"If you only have some of the power of 'Steel', then you just need to have the experience of wielding a steel weapon and killing a dragon or snake. Many gods and heroes have experienced this, so it's not uncommon to have the power of steel. But those giant knights are different. Their 'Steel' is very pure, so pure that if I hadn't sensed the breath of God from them, I would have thought they were members of Steel."

"........."

Hearing this, Guinevere felt a flash of inspiration in his mind, as if he had thought of something, but he couldn't grasp it for a long time, and he looked anxious.

Fortunately, Lancelot had no intention of guessing the riddle and revealed the answer directly.

"The birth of such pure 'steel' must be to achieve some goals, just like Siegfried in Norse mythology and Hercules in Greek mythology. They are heroes, but also pure 'steel', born to fight against the corresponding disasters!"

At the end of his words, Lancelot was particularly serious, showing his seriousness in this regard.

Guinevere naturally trusted her uncle very much, so even though what he said seemed ridiculous at first, she believed it after listening to it all. After thinking about it for a while and failing to come up with an answer, she continued to ask Lancelot.

"Then uncle, you can tell what the purpose of those knight statues is, and whether they are related to the 'king'!"

"........."

Even Lancelot could not answer this question for a while. After a period of silence, Lancelot replied.

“I’m not sure about that.”

"...That's it."

Obviously, this answer was not what Guinevere wanted, but Lancelot then said something else. "But the only thing I can be sure of is that they must be the opposite of us gods. If it were just that the knight statues did not have the aura associated with us gods, it would be fine. What's more important is that I feel a threat from them! A threat that is deadly enough!"

"This threat is different from the others. It is not related to the experience in the myth, but is more fundamentally targeted. Because of this, although I cannot see through the existence of those knight statues, the only thing I can be sure of is that they must be hiding something, and that something is closely related to the essence of gods like us!"

Although there was no evidence to prove it, it was just an intuitive feeling, but it was enough for Lancelot.

After all, on the battlefield you don't have that much time to analyze this and that. If you really have to wait until you figure out the answer before taking action, you'll probably be beheaded by the enemy first.

So even though there was nothing to prove, Lancelot trusted his feelings immensely.

Although Guinevere did not have the same intuition as Lancelot, she believed in Lancelot. So even though these words were very strange, she believed them and used them as the basis for her thinking.

"...If it's really like what you said, uncle, then it can explain a lot of things. Why did the Steel Sage give away the steel he spent so much effort to create so easily to others? If it was a layout made to achieve a certain purpose, then it would be easier to understand."

"Although the magical aura of those giant knight statues is slightly different, it is generally the same source as the power of steel used by many magicians now. The reason why it spreads so widely is probably because they are trying to find people who have a tacit understanding with the power of steel, and then let them control the giant knight statues."

"Indeed, this is possible!"

Guinevere agreed with Lancelot's speculation and even thought of a deeper point.

"Those huge knight statues have enough power to fight against gods, and uncle, you feel a sense of fatality from them. Although we cannot confirm their true purpose, it must be something we don't want to see. Suddenly, it feels like we have discovered something incredible!"

Guinevere couldn't help but smile bitterly at the end.

It's not wrong to complain like this. After all, Guinevere's original action was just to observe whether the Steel Hero God sealed in the Western Palace was the king they were looking for.

The process went smoothly and I got the information I wanted, but in the process I suddenly discovered something incredible and at first glance very troublesome.

If possible, Guinevere would of course pretend that she didn't see it, but the few clues and information she had indicated that if things went wrong, it would affect all the gods, so she couldn't help it now.

After all, if it was just her own case, Guinevere would certainly have no problem with it. After all, compared to her own life, the mission of awakening the king was more important. As long as the king could be awakened again, Guinevere would not mind sacrificing her own life.

But before that, Guinevere didn't want to lose his life for no reason and fail to complete his mission.

More importantly, whether what Lin Yuan is going to do will affect the king is what Guinevea is most worried about!
