Powerful players want to be passers-by

"It's okay if you think so... No, it should be true."

Alexander sighed, "If possible, I really want to avoid unnecessary fights."

"That's what you said...but the council of sages has made irresponsible remarks about you directly intervening in the 'Holy Grail War'." Lu Yao noticed that there was some snow on his shoulders, and looked at the gloomy sky, "Will you It's snowing, Alexander, do you know where I can sit?"

"Don't shout so affectionately as soon as you come up." Alexander turned around, stopped after walking a few steps, "I know there is a good coffee shop."

'Is it a coffee shop again...'

It feels like after coming to this world, the frequency of his visits to coffee shops is a bit high, and he doesn't particularly like that kind of place.Even so, Lu Yao did not protest anything, but followed Alexander's pace.

This is a little-known coffee shop on the street.

Perhaps the reputation is not very high, but the premium blend coffee that the boss insists on has a group of loyal supporters.The store is less than ten meters away from the Thames River, and you can see the beautiful scenery when you sit by the panoramic window.

Order a cup of coffee and a piece of pastry, and hold a newspaper, and you can spend a peaceful afternoon relaxed and comfortable.

This is also a place where Alexander often comes.

Having said that, in fact, Alexander has not been associated with this store for a long time.

"Why don't you introduce yourself first?" Alexander put sugar cubes into the coffee and said while stirring, "My name is Alexander Gascoigne - you already know such things, how about you?"

"My name is Lu Yao." It is enough to state your own name.

"Lu Yao, um, nice to meet you." Taking a sip of coffee gracefully, Alexander's poker face turned into a serious one, "Then let's talk about the business. Lu Yao, first of all, what kind of Are you planning to come?"

"If possible, it's best to resolve it peacefully." Lu Yao looked at the steaming coffee, wondering if it would be bitter, and continued, "Alexander Gascoigne, give up the Holy Grail—— If I say something like this, will you agree?"

"Well, the negotiation has broken down." Alexander showed a regretful expression.

In fact, he has always exuded fighting spirit.

Although he said that he didn't want to fight, he also showed deliberate calmness and indifference in terms of character and conduct.

But Lu Yao could feel that this Alexander Gascoigne hadn't cultivated his true composure.From the moment they confirmed each other's identities, Alexander knew that there was still a fight.

It doesn't mean that godslayers can get along well with each other.

But the godslayer is a person who is cursed and blessed by the gods, and is always accompanied by endless struggles and disasters.A godslayer who is strong enough to conquer everything, because of his strength, must have one person who is at a disadvantage when getting along with the same race.

Therefore, the godslayers are basically either old enemies of each other and have signed a covenant of non-interference, such as Luo Hao and Vauban, or they basically ignore it, like Vauban, who is said to have lost his way, treats Lu Yao, the new godslayer next door. Take an attitude of ignoring it - but it is said that the old Mr. Vauban has a lot of opinions on the matter of Lu Yao overthrowing the disobedient Zeus, which should belong to his prey.

Oh yes, Aisha is an exception.Of course, maybe Lu Yao is also an exception.

"Before that, I would like to ask, Alexander Gascoigne, what is the reason why you want to get the Holy Grail so desperately?" Lu Yao asked the Black Prince, "It is said that the Magic Holy Grail has something that even a godslayer cannot Comparable huge spell power is a container of immense spell power. At first I thought you were the magic power of the Holy Grail. After all, with the existence of Godslayers like us, if you can get it, it is no problem to tear the sky apart, even if it is easy It is possible to torture and kill the "God of Disobedience"... But now that I have met, I don't think so."

The Holy Grail of Magic is like an unowned treasure of tens of billions.

A magician who obtains the Holy Grail of Magic is equivalent to getting enough wealth to buy the United States. The Holy Grail of Magic with such huge resources is in a sense an omnipotent wish-granting machine.

"Yes...there are indeed people with such thoughts." Alexander gave a very short answer, "I just want to investigate."

38. Frame and party

"Investigate? Investigate the Holy Grail?" Lu Yao wondered.

"Yes." Alexander nodded, "This reason sounds very simple, but this is indeed the idea in my heart, which is not adulterated at all. My father, he is a very ordinary occult scholar , He has been pursuing the Holy Grail all his life, until the day he died. So, I want to get the Holy Grail, just to see what kind of thing my father has been pursuing for his whole life. "

His blue eyes looked at Lu Yao, and he could feel his sincerity. He said unabashedly how to deal with the Holy Grail: "If necessary, I will keep the Holy Grail by my side. If it is useless, I will I will abandon it, although I also know that my behavior will cause trouble for others, but for me this is something that must be done, nothing more.”

Alexander did not seek the Holy Grail out of a desire for power.

This can be confirmed.

In other words, the worries of the Greenwich Council of Sages can come to an end.

"I probably understand." Lu Yao nodded, he glanced out the window, the wind and snow were getting bigger and bigger, so he stood up, "Let's do that for today."

"Don't solve it directly? Or do you agree with my idea, so you are going to quit?"

"Heh..." Lu Yao laughed, "You are also a godslayer, showing self-centeredness and doing whatever you want, so how could you not understand what I will do next?"

"Don't think I have a character flaw!" Alexander couldn't help but retort, and immediately felt that his behavior was a bit out of control, and coughed a few times, "Does that mean you are going to have a fight with me on behalf of the Council of Wise Men?"

"No, I am only representing myself." Lu Yao replied calmly, "I have not denied that I am interested in the Holy Grail of magic, and if I can get it, I will never shrink back and pretend to be innocent."

"Hmph, is it a council of wise men to lure wolves into a house? The devil is still the devil. From the research in the Victorian era to the present, the so-called think tank organization has not improved at all." Alexander expressed his disdain.

Lu Yao didn't say much, after saying that he would meet here tomorrow morning, he turned and left.

But after a few steps, he stopped again.

"What else is there?"

Lu Yao turned his head with a serious expression, which made Alexander a little nervous.Lu Yao said, "Coffee, is that right?"

That's it!

Alexander roared in his heart, but his demeanor could not be messed up, "Yes."

"That's good." Lu Yao felt relieved now, and left without looking back.

Watching Lu Yao's back until it disappeared, Alexander looked away, and after saying "what an incredible person" with emotion, he did not leave in a hurry and continued to sit in the coffee shop, sipping with a poker face. coffee.At the same time, he was quietly thinking about how to face the fourth godslayer when tomorrow came.

……

The headquarters of the Greenwich Council of Wise Men is a four-storey red brick building that has existed since Victorian times.

In the historical mansion, there are countless magicians, experts and scholars in various fields, people who can be called "sages" come and go.

It is the duty to talk to the strongest human warrior known as the "Demon King", and to fight against the natural king known as the "God Slayer".

However, today's council of sages is doing what it has done for the first time since its establishment.

——Invite the Demon King.

Decorate the spacious reception room in the interior, and on the long table covered with expensive silk, all kinds of exquisite gourmet delicacies are listed on it.

Well-dressed upper-class people toasted and chatted, and there was an air of high-end circles in the scene-it wasn't.The Council of the Wise Men of Greenwich is an organization of good-natured people, and all kinds of eccentrics are in it.

In addition to the so-called nobles and gentlemen, there are also many bohemian guys.

The dinner party hadn't actually started yet.

After all, this is a banquet to welcome the devil king who is in southern Europe. The protagonist has not arrived yet, no matter how the atmosphere is, it is not the beginning.However, it may be to release something, and some people are still very interested.

"Mr. Paul Brontree, where is the king now?"

Someone had been waiting for the protagonist to appear for a long time, and ran to talk to Paul Brauntree, who was most likely to know the whereabouts of the king.

Paul smiled stiffly, "Maybe it's still outside... But I need to tell you that the king may not attend this kind of banquet."

"I understand, I understand." The man drank the wine in his hand and smiled like a heroic general in the Warring States Period. Obviously, no matter his attire or his white beard, he should be the kind of highly respected expert A scholar should be an elegant and easy-going person, but in fact his style of acting is very Gandalf. He laughed and said, "We who have been playing games with him for centuries are naturally very clear about what kind of existence the Godslayer is!"

While speaking, he put his arms around Paul's shoulders and put them close.

Paul could smell the strong smell of alcohol on his body, and the Crimson Demon said helplessly: "Sir, are you drunk? I think you need to rest."

"Hey man! Don't talk about this like my Aunt Mary next door bakes apple pie! Trust me, bro! You ain't gonna like something like Uncle Jack's cowhide!"

"Please don't speak in this interpreter's accent!"

The old magician laughed a few times, "Let me tell you, Godslayers are all very self-centered, passionate people who like gorgeous tunes. Although individuals have different styles of acting, basically, they are similar to doing whatever they want, I don’t care about the commonality of these points around, so I think this party is basically just our internal self-indulgence! We are so tired from work, and with the shock of Alexander recently, we don’t have much rest time. Now take this opportunity, why don't you relax!"

"You guys are treating this as a private matter..." Paul was a little speechless. Is there such a dishonest person in the council of wise men?

No wonder Princess Alice would say things like let those guys have a good time before releasing the spirit body clone.

"That's why!" The old magician let go of Paul and patted him on the back a few times, "Relax! Come, have a drink!"

"Sorry, sir, I don't drink." Paul wanted to refuse.

"Don't be so boring... Oh, there's a young man over there." The old magician saw a short figure walking by in front of him, and he didn't think much about it because he was a little drunk, but directly entangled him, " Hey, how old is the young man? Do you drink? Come, come, let’s have a deep feeling!”

"Don't just catch someone and persuade them to drink!" Paul was very helpless, and his brain hurt already.He just wanted to go over to stop him, but when he saw the expressionless young man, his back was sweating, he knocked the old magician down with a kidney shot, and then apologized to the young man, "Sorry, Mr. Yao, this guy drinks alcohol. Drink too much."

"No, it's fine."

The innocent boy who was caught was Lu Yao who just came back. After Paul apologized, Lu Yao found the surroundings quiet down.

Everyone noticed Lu Yao's arrival, and there was a lot of noise due to the chattering of groups of three or four, but at this moment it became completely silent.

After scanning around, Lu Yao drank the forced red wine in his hand, and then put it on the table beside him, "This means that I have attended the dinner party. Then you go on, I will Going to rest."

After all, without paying attention to others, Lu Yao randomly grabbed a maid and asked her to take him to the room prepared for him by the Council of Sages.

39. Three people meeting

The night passed, and when I woke up, the weather was not bad.

Last night, London ushered in a rare snowfall, and almost everyone rushed to tell each other with excitement and joy.Walking to the window, Lu Yao wiped the glass window which was covered with mist due to the large temperature difference in the room. He could see that Greenwich had been covered with snow and decorated as a snow-white world.

"Fortunately, there is sunshine."

Although the pale sun seemed powerless, it still had some brilliance.It's not bad weather.

Otherwise, the sky would be overcast, and Lu Yao would not even have the idea of ​​going out.

He didn't bring any extra clothes to Greenwich, he just packed lightly.After all, you can just use your own personality to create whatever you need. Of course, the Greenwich Idlers Council also directly contracts all expenses.

After washing up a bit, Lu Yao changed into warm clothes.

Although Campione's physique is very strong, even in this level of low temperature, there is no problem in dressing up in summer clothes.But it felt cold just looking at it, and it would make people feel weird to go out, so Lu Yao still put on his clothes.

Without bothering others, Lu Yao opened the window and jumped down when he was ready, and walked leisurely and slowly towards the place where he had agreed to meet with Alexander Gascoigne.

Not long after Lu Yao left, there was a knock on the door. After a long time of no answer, the maid bravely pushed it open—after all, it was the king's permission last night.However, when he opened the door and entered, he found that there was no one there, and the room was neatly tidied up, as if no one had ever lived in it.

……

"So early?"

After walking along the impressive route for a while, not far away from the noise, there was Alexander Gascoigne who arrived one step earlier than himself.

He was still wearing a black jacket and thin trousers that set off his slender legs as always, with an attitude of demeanor rather than temperature.However, it is true that the godslayer can be so willful. The low temperature for the godslayer to react must be at least at the extreme level.Maybe it was because he was so handsome, like the mysterious black prince who appeared in the white city of London, but attracted many superficial women...and men who were greedy for his body.

But with a straight face, he is very straight and straight, and with his blunt words, he rejected the crazy bees and butterflies who kept coming up to strike up a conversation.

Seeing Lu Yao's arrival, the sharp-eared Alexander answered Lu Yao's self-talking words: "No, I just arrived too."

Hey, what's the matter with you.

This conversation is too weird.

It's a bit f***ing, does this kind of very popular handsome guy have this kind of virtue?

But it's better not to pay too much attention.

"Also, since you are all following here, then come out." Alexander missed Lu Yao and looked towards the place where there was no one.

Of course, this is not possible.

Although Godslayer has some mental problems compared to normal people, it is not to the point of mental illness.

He was talking to some naughty princess.

Sure enough, from behind somewhere, Alice Louise Of Nafal stepped out in a winter coat.

"Yo~" Alice raised her hand, with a cute smile, "It's really a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet Mr. Yao and His Highness Alexander here."

"Hmph, obviously he came here by himself."

"It's too disrespectful to directly expose a lady!" Alice puffed up her face, "How about learning how to communicate with a lady before pretending that you are very cultivated?"

"I might be more polite to a lady, but it's a different matter with a female fox."

Alexander and Alice quarreled.

The relationship between the two is quite delicate.

The 16-year-old Alexander has just become a godslayer and started to pursue the Holy Grail shortly after he heard that the Holy Grail collected by King John of the Landless appeared somewhere in England.The first time the two met was a quarrel.

Until now, the two of them still have this wonderful relationship of being both enemies and friends, and it will probably not change much in the future.

From the perspective of watching a monkey show, these two performances are pretty good.But isn't scolding in the street detrimental to the image?Not to mention the identities of the godslayer and the princess that ordinary people don't know, the fact that a handsome guy and a beautiful woman are arguing in the street will attract many people to watch, right?

Alexander also noticed, "Okay, I won't push you too much. You can't participate in the next step, so go back to sleep."

"Who do you look down on!"

All in all, Alice followed suit.

Although it was an appointment to meet at the place where we drank coffee yesterday, of course it was impossible to fight directly on the spot.Not to mention whether the whole of Greenwich or even the whole of London will be tied, it is impossible for Lu Yao and Alexander to directly start the fight regardless of other people's personalities.
