Chapter 249 (1/2)
”... there is a loophole in what you just said.”
After the shock caused by the other party's words gradually subsided and recovered his calm, Lauren said calmly: ”do you explain it yourself or let me say it for you?”
At the beginning of the whole incident, the powerful Bellini family tried to use the formula of Holy Blood potion to seize the voice of the nine awn star wizard tower, but failed. They also tried to completely expel the wizards with the help of the power of the Holy Cross Church, and finally mastered the power of eboden.
The corona family lurking in the dark seems to have nothing to do with the whole incident from beginning to end. Even the nine pointed star wizard tower influenced by them has remained silent from beginning to end, did not make any resistance to the Bellini family's attempt to seize power, and even adopted a connivance attitude,
But what if Alto Bellini's holy blood potion research was linked to the corona family from the beginning? What if they knew from the beginning that the Bellini family would turn to the Holy Cross after finding out that the nine pointed star wizard tower did not support them?
If they knew at the beginning, what terrible consequences would this so-called ”Holy Blood potion” bring?
Zheng Burke Duan Yu Yan - this is a story that Loren once saw in his last life. It's simply inappropriate to use it here.
Originally, the whole incident should have come to an end. It was entirely a power dispute between two big families in the free city-state of eboden. There was nothing to say. But the problem is that what the corona family wants is just the absolute rule of eboden, not hesitate to take up half of the city and turn it into ruins?
No, they want more.
Brandon listened to him quietly, smiled and said, ”how did you find this?”
”Shouldn't you tell me what they want?” the black haired wizard shrugged. ”After all, I basically don't know anything now.”
”No, no, no, you already know, but you can't believe it - just like when I guessed at the beginning, I can't believe it.” the noble boy's face smiled again:
”Thank you, too. If the 'real' wizard Ayn Rand hadn't grabbed their tail, we might never have guessed what the real purpose of the corona family was!”
Loren was silent.
Before entering the room, the little wizard had secretly told him the evil god temple found in Shenlin castle and the customs of blood sacrifice, and... The caravan of the corona family took something from the coffin of the temple.
The more truth he got, Loren felt closer to the danger. These thin clues were like the shadow cast by a monster. The clearer they were, the more creepy they were.
”... the nine pointed star grail.”
Brandon said slowly, ”what the corona family really wants is the nine pointed star Holy Grail.”
”Isn't that thing always in the nine pointed star wizard tower?”
”No, the real Holy Grail has never been placed in the wizard tower. As you know, the so-called 'Holy Grail Hall' is just an illusion. The real Holy Grail disappeared when eboden was built. No one, even the twelve elders of the wizard tower, knows where it is.”
”And now the corona family desperately wants it...”
”And I hope it won't be noticed by anyone in advance, because it's so important.” Brandon nodded with satisfaction, and his red eyes appreciated a little more: ”as a wizard, I don't have to tell you the meaning of the nine pointed star Holy Grail?”
The dark haired wizard shrugged as he deserved.
In a word, that is the source of Magic - all the disciplines of wizards so far, whether prophecy, rune, spell, mystery, alchemy... All come from the nine pointed star Holy Grail, and even the etymology of ”Wizard” itself is derived from the Holy Grail.
As for what the ”Holy Grail” means, from what Loren knows, the vast majority of wizards are not very clear, while Asriel, who vaguely knows some, is vague from beginning to end, but his words reveal great interest, which makes Loren convinced that it is definitely not just the ”spiritual pillar” of Wizards.
”We don't know why the corona family wants to get it so much, but they will do it in the end. It's certain.” the noble boy clapped his hands gently: ”so this is your task - anyway, grab the Holy Grail in front of the corona family and never let them succeed and eliminate the danger from the source!”
