Chapter 60

"Is there only this one chance?"

Lancelot begins to struggle. Once, because of a momentary mistake, he had a tryst with Elaine. Although that was because of a witch's curse, and he didn't know Galahad would be born at the time, so he left, but now Galahad's appearance tells him that he must take on the responsibility of a father.

People make different judgments in different situations. In Pan-Human History, Lancelot had a pile of his own issues to deal with, so how could he manage Galahad? But now, because of Lin Ye, his life is thriving, so naturally, he has the energy to take care of this son.

However, looking at Galahad in the simulation, Lancelot sighs helplessly, "What a cute child; it would be even better if it were a daughter."

Fine, Lancelot is just a daughter-con; what did he do wrong!

Actually, Lin Ye also has a headache. Lin Ye had learned about the legend of King Arthur before, but he found that the difference between Earth history and Moon history is too great.

According to Earth history, Galahad's birth should have been after Lancelot met Guinevere; Lancelot was deceived by a witch into thinking Elaine was Guinevere, and only then was Galahad born. But in Moon history, because Mo is a homunculus and develops too quickly, the timeline is pushed forward by several years, so there are some discrepancies in the details of later events.

Seeing Lancelot make a decision, Lin Ye continues to watch.

The three of Galahad arrive at St. Mary's Cathedral. Because of years of war, it has become dilapidated. When they arrive, there is no one here; there is only a lifeless man lying on the ground.

"We... are late?" Bors sighs helplessly. He had been thinking of using this event to make a contribution and return to become a chamberlain among the Knights of the Round Table; now it seems it was all for nothing.

However, Percival on the side shakes his head. He comes to the side of this dead man, and bright light from his hand falls upon the man!

Light of Salvation B!

Under this light, bright light suddenly appears in the body of the dead man, and then a phantom floats out from his corpse; this is his soul.

"Welcome to my cathedral, honorable five guests."

Five?

Hearing this, Lin Ye and Lancelot dispel their illusions. Seeing Lin Ye and Lancelot, the three are quite excited.

"Lord Lin Ye!"

The three bow to Lin Ye; as for Lancelot... he is directly ignored by the three.

Lancelot...

What the hell! Can't you see a person as big as me! Forget the others! Galahad, you unfilial son, you don't even know how to greet me?

"Forget it, calm down, calm down..."

Lancelot calms his restless heart and continues to watch.

Seeing you all appear, the man explains:

"My name is Joseph of Arimathea; you can call me Joseph. I am one of the disciples of the Son of God, Jesus. Following the Lord's will, I have kept the Holy Grail in a safe place. It is a pleasure to meet you all."

"A disciple of Jesus!" Lin Ye is stunned; soon he remembers a story from the Bible.

After Jesus was nailed to the cross, his soul returned to heaven, while his body was buried by Joseph, and Joseph himself disappeared with Jesus's relics.

"So, the Holy Grail was brought to Great Britain by this guy? I thought it was that guy Merlin again."

Lin Ye's suspicion is not unreasonable; anyway, in Great Britain, if something unusual happens, it's always safe to blame Merlin.

Joseph looks at the five of you, especially Percival and Galahad, and nods with satisfaction. However, when he sees you, he is suddenly stunned.

So, he asks you:

"Who are you? Where do you come from? What do you want to do?"

Huh?

Damn! You guy, you start with the three questions of life! You're targeting me, right! Who can give you an answer to this question?

Lin Ye says directly, "I am who I am; I come from where I come from, and I go to where I go."

You're a Christian, so you're awesome? I'll answer you with Buddhist words; I don't believe you can understand since our systems are different!

Sure enough, hearing your words, Joseph shakes his head, and then he ignores you. He points his hand, and a bright light appears before you.

This is a great sword, the blade is red, like a cross. Joseph says this is the cross used when Jesus ascended to heaven; only those holding the Spear of Longinus can find it, and the Holy Grail is under this sword. Whoever pulls out the sword can obtain the Holy Grail.

Then, John spreads his hands, signaling that you can try.

"Damn!"

Seeing this, Lin Ye finally can't help but complain. "I was wondering why later generations said this was Merlin's trick! This method of selecting the Holy Grail holder! It's plagiarism of Merlin's method of selecting the king, right! Isn't this just the Sword in the Stone version 2.0!"

Joseph doesn't think there is anything wrong with his method. He steps aside and watches you. Seeing Joseph step aside, Bors impatiently walks up.

"My turn."

Bors puts his hand directly on the cross. However, as soon as he puts his hand on it, you all notice that Bors's eyes become vacant, and in just one second, his hand is repelled.

Seeing this scene, Joseph also says:

"The most worldly knight; there are too many things in this world you are attached to. You are not destined for the Holy Grail."

"My turn!" Lancelot also walks over. "It's normal for young people to have an unsteady mind; let a senior teach you how to pull a sword."

Lancelot is truly confident. He considers himself the strongest in all of Great Britain besides Lin Ye and Artoria; if he can't pull this sword, who can?

Lancelot watches on.

You put your hand on the cross. In an instant, you find your consciousness gradually blurring. Then,

You see your wife looking at your tombstone and crying;

You see your King lamenting that she has lost one of her most excellent knights;

You see your wife remarrying someone else...

"No!"

In an instant, you let go of the cross.

Lancelot...

Ahem, this isn't because I can't pull it out! I'm just worried that the King will be sad if I leave. Yes, that's it!

Lancelot returns to his original position without a word. Seeing Lancelot fail, Percival walks up.

He puts his hand on the cross. With just one effort, the cross begins to shake violently. Just as Percival is about to pull the cross out, he hears the voice of his Anglade in his mind:

"Percival, do you really want to abandon me and leave?"

"No!"

Percival shouts and firmly lets go of the cross.

Percival, failed.

"Percival failed too? It seems this Holy Grail can only be obtained by Galahad."

Lin Ye also understands; this sword-pulling is actually a process of questioning one's heart. As long as you have weaknesses in your heart, you cannot pull the sword out.

No wonder only Galahad, the purest knight, could pull the sword out.

Galahad also walks up. He puts his hand on the cross, and the cross shakes again. He succeeds; he is about to succeed!

At this most critical moment, you suddenly kick Lancelot in the butt. Lancelot stumbles and falls directly onto Galahad's back; his hands subconsciously hug Galahad!

Huh???

In front of Lancelot, two options appear at this moment.

Facing Galahad, who is about to leave, you choose:

Option 1: Call his name, tell him you love him, and persuade him not to leave.

Option 2: Say sorry, then tell him to take care.

"I choose..." Lancelot thinks for a moment. He recalls his previous conversation with Lin Ye and understands that this is his last chance to win back his son.

Although a son is not as cute as a daughter, he is his own flesh and blood after all.

"I choose one."

As Lancelot's choice ends, the scene changes.

Galahad is about to pull out the cross, but Lancelot's hug makes his hand pause. This is the warmth of fatherly love he has never felt before. Listening to his father's words, he feels his hand holding the cross suddenly tremble.

"Give him a chance."

Galahad sighs and lets go of the cross. He turns to look at Lancelot in front of him. At this moment, Lancelot also tightly hugs this son he hasn't embraced since he was born.

"This way, the junior won't leave either. The Knights of the Round Table are all together; I'm so great."

Lin Ye watches this scene with satisfaction; he truly feels that this father and son have let go of their knots.

"So... what about the Holy Grail?"

As Galahad fails, you also sigh to Joseph that the Holy Grail does not belong to you. Just as you are about to leave, Joseph suddenly calls you back.

"Wait, you haven't tried yet?"

"Me? Are you kidding? How can I do it?"

Lin Ye knows himself too well.

No one knows better than himself what kind of person he is. Ascend to heaven to see Jesus without desire? Isn't it a hundred times better to go home and hold Artoria?
