Chapter 157 Holy, Holy Grail?
[“Every heroic spirit in the Kingdom of God was an elite who had received extremely high honors during their lifetime. They did not expect higher honors.”]

Nenasha told Herbert the secrets of the kingdom of God that outsiders could hardly know.

Not all believers are qualified to become heroic spirits after death.

Although almost all gods of faith have promised that every believer will come to their kingdom and be reborn after death...but the truth is not so.

The kingdom of God is not infinite, and the power of gods varies in strength. It is impossible for them to accept the souls of mortals permanently - even the god of death who reaps souls would not agree.

Some weak believers with unsteady faith will be taken away by the messengers of the god of death after death. After traveling through the spiritual world, they will return to the Sea of ​​Chaos and become the raw materials for new life.

Most believers with firm faith will be led into the kingdom of God by heroic spirits, and based on their merits and contributions in their lifetime, they will be given a new life of no more than two hundred years.

It seems like I've lived my life again, but it actually comes at a price.

During this period, they will still make contributions to the gods, respond to the call of priests and come to the mortal world, fight everywhere, and continue to fight for the great cause of the kingdom of God all their lives.

And in the process, one gradually forgets everything about his life, until the past is completely forgotten, and after losing consciousness, he reintegrates into the foundation of the Kingdom of God.

And only a few extremely outstanding believers will truly have a new life in the Kingdom of God and become powerful heroic spirits.

These people were legendary figures in the world when they were alive, and had all been favored and rewarded by the gods.

So, for these heroes, they have already succeeded.

They have already been extremely favored and have obtained almost eternal life, and do not need to gain more favor after death.

Already, no need to work harder.

How far can we go if we work hard now?

From "Heroic Spirit" to "Holy Spirit", then to "Angel", then to "Belonging to God", and finally to "Follower of God"?
difficult.

There is basically no possibility of success.

This process is extremely difficult. Not only does it take a hopelessly long time, it also requires a huge amount of merit. Almost no one can do it.

After learning this part of secret knowledge, Herbert thought about it and frowned.

If we look at the entire structural system of the Kingdom of God, those heroes seem to be the middle class in the middle position.

That's right!

They are the nobles - and they are not the truly powerful nobles, but the small nobles who are not as good as the better ones but better than the worse ones.

Wealth (life) freedom, and no desire or impulse to continue climbing up.

For this group of vested interests, there is no need to struggle anymore, they can just lie down.

"Then they..."

Herbert's brows twitched slightly, and he thought of a possibility, and said uncertainly: "It can't be for fun, right?"

“Ahaha!”

Nenasha laughed, feeling relieved that she had a teachable child, and said happily:
【“Congratulations, you got it right!”】

Hearing this answer, Herbert curled his lips, shook his head helplessly, and sighed:
"Okay, I knew it was like this..."

The reasons for this conclusion are actually not complicated.

Once you have money and free time, you will naturally start to enjoy life.

But...what kind of life is there in the Kingdom of God?

Although the Kingdom of God claims to be an independent world, the power of the gods is limited and it is impossible to completely create a real world.

If they can really do that, then they are the true creator gods.

Therefore, in that seemingly free world, the heroes are actually not living freely enough.

And under the blessing of long years, they can only endure this precious and distressing boredom forever.

And he knew too well what the nobles would do when they got bored.

Herbert felt his eyelids twitching just thinking about it. He could already imagine what kind of abstract actions the Heroic Spirits would perform at that time...

At the beginning, you should become a partner with other heroic spirits and love each other for a period of time.

Later, if they get bored with the monotonous life, they can change from male to female, or from female to male, and then start making permutations and combinations.

After that, if they still feel it is not exciting enough, they may find more like-minded companions to spend this long time together...

"But what does this have to do with the lake?"

Herbert raised his eyebrows and blinked repeatedly.

He first thought of the tentacles, then the appearance of the octopus, and finally, he suddenly thought of the grass carp brother in the monastery...

hiss!
Is it possible!!!?
After thinking of that possibility, Herbert's expression became very tense.

By the way, after his strength improved, Herbert had a worry that was both painful and joyful - his mind was working too fast.

This ability allows him to think more during battle and make the most accurate decisions.

But at the same time, he always thinks of some messy things from time to time.

Because he thought too quickly, by the time he realized what he had thought of, it was already too late.

Herbert considered his words and asked, "So... that guy is the source of happiness for the Heroic Spirits?"

[“Yes, it is the favorite of the heroes, a gift that allows them to temporarily forget all their troubles.”]

[“Wine of Oblivion!”]

[“The wine of oblivion can make them forget their troubles and memories of their life in the Kingdom of God for a long time, which is equivalent to starting a new life…”] Herbert’s train of thought was already distorted after hearing the first half. He continued to immerse himself in his own thoughts, muttering to himself:
"But that doesn't make sense, does it? With so many Heroic Spirits, there won't be enough tentacles. We can't have one sucker for each person, right... Hmm? Wine?"

What wine?

Herbert blinked, took a breath, and said in a trance: "Ah! It turns out to be the wine of oblivion. I thought it was something else - wait, wine?"

But alcohol is still not right, right?

"Octopus wine?"

[“Huh? Who told you it was an octopus?”]

[“What on earth did you think of?”]

Nenasha also felt a little strange and thought that Herbert's reaction was not right, but she had no idea what it was.

He just felt that Herbert seemed to have been distracted and thinking about random things since the beginning, but he had no idea what he was thinking about.

"Ahem! Nothing much, I just thought of some boring little things."

Herbert coughed awkwardly twice, pretending to be calm and asked as if nothing had happened: "Then what on earth is it? It doesn't look like something you can drink directly into your stomach."

[“It is certainly not for drinking, but a container for holding wine—forget the wine cup.”]

[“But why it has changed from a wine glass to this shape now, I don’t really know. I can only admire the creativity of God.”]

Herbert nodded slowly.

Case solved.

It's still a cup!
look!

I just said he was a cup!

Humph, I was right to blame it!

[“As for why it came to find you, it must have sensed my aura lingering on you.”]

Even the archbishop could not detect the faint breath, but for the creatures created and born in the Kingdom of God, everything belongs to the gods, it is indeed extremely sensitive.

For the Forgotten Wine Cup, which only has a faint consciousness, it is an existence that cannot be forgotten at all!
That's why it took the initiative to move after sensing the presence, blocking Herbert's path with the entire lake, trying to make contact with him.

"Then now..."

[“You scared him away yourself. It has nothing to do with me~”]

Herbert closed his eyes and felt the lake, but he could only feel the calmness of the lake and could no longer find the octopus.

Even though he made friends with all the water elements in the lake, he just couldn't find the exact corner where it was.

[“This is normal. The water element simply forgot about it, including its existence.”]

Nenasha smiled and said soothingly: [“But you don’t have to be too disappointed. The Wine of Oblivion is actually not very useful to you now.”]

"..."

He saw that Herbert was silent, and asked curiously: [“Hmm? Is there anything you want to forget?”]

"Of course."

Herbert rolled his eyes and said speechlessly, "A group of female goblins and minotaurs. Do you think I want to forget it? You deserve to die. What on earth were you thinking at the time to do such a thing?"

Are you human?

What a beast!

[“Hehe~ That, well, hahaha~”]

The God of Harmony laughed dryly, but there was no guilt or other emotions in his laughter, only unconcealable pride.

Hehehehe, hehehehe, hehehehe!

"So if it doesn't intend to show up, and doesn't intend to give way, then we can only go straight through it?"

[“Well, go through it. It’s the only thing inside. There’s nothing else.”]

After trying to sense again without any result, Herbert had no choice but to face reality. He returned to the shore and picked up Valentina, who still hadn't woken up for half a day.

He stepped lightly on the lake surface, and small pieces of ice automatically appeared under his feet, which quickly disappeared after he stepped on them.

Herbert walked leisurely on the lake, still thinking about the tentacles he had just seen.

"Hmm? Wait, if I think about it this way, it seems that all the elements are complete!"

Lake, Holy Grail, Knight...I've seen this plot before.

So, where is the last remaining Lady of the Lake?
Don't be shy, come out and give me my sword in the lake!
As he walked across the lake, his mind was empty and he was lost in thought. He did not notice that more and more snowflakes were falling overhead.

call……

Just as Herbert was about to reach the center of the lake, a cold wind carrying snowflakes swept over.

The wind ruffled the lake water and made Herbert's eyes narrow subconsciously.

"Um!?"

Herbert looked at the petite figure gradually emerging in the wind and snow, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

and so……

Are you the Lady of the Lake?
