"Mm, mm, I know, I know!"
Miss Biqi, who had run over to join in the excitement with "Grandpa," immediately waved her hand and said:
"That’s the legendary story of how you became a Grail Knight, Grandpa. After swearing to uphold justice and the dignity of life, you received the strength’s blessing, and in seven days and nights, you exterminated the cannibal bandits that plagued the mountains.
Since then, everyone has honored you as the ’Nantes Ranger.’"
"Were the stories of your youth this legendary? I thought your life only became dramatic after you became a vampire."
Murphy looked at Kudell in surprise, who waved his hand and said:
"That’s just embellishment by the later generations. In truth, the Holy Water of the Grail did heal me, and I carried it as a sacred artifact until I rescued the children and women abducted by the cannibal demons. On that night, the Grail left me as mysteriously as it had appeared, but I did indeed gain strength.
As for the vow...
I’ve always believed it was the Grail that chose me, and ever since then, I’ve been a ’Oathkeeper,’ even after becoming a vampire. I never abandoned my vow.
It has always provided me with extraordinary strength."
"But why did the elves scatter their Holy Grail everywhere?"
Knight Liwen, next to Miss Biqi, couldn’t help asking:
"If the Grail can transform a human overnight, why don’t the elves make use of this power themselves? The stories I’ve heard about elves indicate they are not so altruistic as to share their power with others."
"Maybe it’s not that the elves didn’t want to keep the Grail’s power for themselves."
Kudell, the only one among them who had truly interacted with the mysterious Grail, shook his head and said:
"Perhaps it’s because the Grail wasn’t crafted by elves; it merely flowed from their hands initially, nothing more.
Honestly, I don’t feel the Grail that granted me strength had much to do with the elves. During the fourth Black Disaster, I fought alongside those elves in the Dark Mountain Range, but they did not notice my power. I feel that these cups once held something incredibly sacred.
They may indeed be related to the Divine Spirits of legend.
Yet just because one or two might be connected to the God of Nature does not mean all Grails come from Avalon.
There are legends about Grails all over the continent. Even on the Great Wilderness of Nordtof, there are tales of Hero King Boris and his Holy Grail of the Cold Winter.
Some say that the Hero King who conquered the Great Wilderness was also a Grail Knight of the God of the Cold Winter."
"The Highlanders are starting the ceremony."
Miss Biqi, who had been engrossed in her grandfather’s stories, closed her exquisite notebook and called out to the others.
They turned around and saw the Mountain Elders, wearing deer horn masks made of bones and branches, holding up the Holy Grail as they returned to their woods, surrounded by sturdy samurais.
As invited observers, the group followed closely behind.
Soon, they arrived at a clearing surrounded by black rocks in the woods of the Westerly Territory, where the elders of the Mountain Tribe had gathered.
Count Shuren had changed into a traditional Highlander garb and, escorted by the Valande Knight, stood before the largest and most ancient Rune Stone.
Logically, vampires should not participate in rituals related to faith, as the Blood race is notoriously shunned by the Divine Spirits.
But as Shuren said, she is a child of the woods.
This innate bond would not be severed by the transformation of her life form, and the surrounding Mountain Elders did not scorn or repudiate Shuren for becoming a Vampire.
They still respected the bloodline of the Xikemeier Family, as before, and considered this little vampire one of their own.
This ceremony was truly very simple. Besides fresh fruits picked from the woods and game, there were no other ritualistic items. The oldest Mountain Elder handed the Holy Grail of Woodland to Shuren, who then poured water from the mountain spring at dawn into it.
In the end, with the Highland women’s singing, the Grail was placed reverently before the great stone.
Old runes carved on the stone lit up with a verdant glow in tune with the song, as if the Spirit of the Mountain Woods was answering the call of its children. As the poignant singing ebbed and flowed, the runes’ light grew brighter.
"The concentration of Natural Psychic Power is skyrocketing!"
Old Eugene, who had been observing the rustic ceremony, whispered:
"Their ritual is working, but the source of the psychic fluctuations remains elusive. I don’t feel any godliness..."
"No, there is! Divine Spirits are paying attention here, but it’s not the connection between prayers and Divine Arts we’re familiar with."
Natalie, surprised, grabbed the Big Oak Sacred Blade on her back, which was vibrating continuously. Seeing the runes on the blade flickering too, she affirmed to those beside her:
"The object of this ceremony’s prayer is indeed the God of Nature. The resonance of the Sacred Blade proves this! But the god as seen by the Highlanders appears quite different from what we believers perceive. What they are invoking now is likely the image of the Avalon God in the eyes of elves!
It is the Mother of Forest!
The Highlanders are employing the ancient tripartite ritual of the Elf Druids. These Highlanders walk a path of nature that originates from the same source we do...
