However, even though the surrogate effect of the original water is there, Kai is not 100% sure. After all, no one knows what the mechanism of the Holy Grail of Life is to collect the price. The magic of the Celtics is very weird, and Kai is outside. The spells encountered are very different, and they are not the same path at all. If the Holy Grail of Life bypasses the primordial water, then Keke will really be in trouble.
But now that things have come to a point, Kai seems to have no other choice but to take a gamble!
Of course, Kai didn't tell Merlin about this. Because there is no need.
Soon, Kai was ready to use the Holy Grail.
The methods of using the Holy Grail are all recorded on the scroll. It is not difficult. As long as you master the method, it is not troublesome to use it. Even if Kai does not know Celtic magic, he can still use it.
"Tidernas!"
Following the spell, the sky suddenly darkened, and then the Holy Grail in Kai's hand emitted a burst of soft pale golden light, and then a drizzle began to fall. Amidst the light rain and light, some transparent particles slowly gathered in the golden Holy Grail. shiny water.
As more and more water filled the Holy Grail, Kai found that the vitality in his body began to decrease rapidly, as if something was sucking his own vitality. What's worse is that Kai himself has no ability to interrupt this process.
As the Holy Grail began to fill up more and more, Kai discovered that not only his life force, but also his soul seemed to be being pulled away by something!
The original water that Kai originally had high hopes for now seems to be a fake product, with no movement at all!
It's really over now!
This was the only thought in Kai's mind.
Just when Kai fell into despair, a sudden pain came to the depths of his soul and Kai almost fainted.
Merlin on the side suddenly heard Kai's scream and was startled. He saw Kai suddenly holding his head and screaming and falling to the ground. The Holy Grail seemed to be stimulated by something, and the light shined brightly, ten times brighter than before. Times!
Merlin wanted to pull Kai away, but before he could get close to the Holy Grail, he was bounced away by an invisible force, and he hit the stone pillar of Stonehenge and passed out.
So Kai could only bear the soul-rending pain alone.
I don't know how long it took before the pain that penetrated deep into his soul slowly subsided, and Kai's sanity slowly returned. When he raised his head to look at the Holy Grail again, the Holy Grail suspended in the air had changed drastically. Many unknown reliefs and patterns appeared on the original golden cup body, and at the same time, wisps of blue flames appeared on the cup body. This flame does not make people feel hot, but gives people an unusually warm feeling.
Looking at the Holy Grail that had changed beyond recognition, Kai opened his palm, and the original water in his hand was safe and sound.
Kai smiled bitterly.
"Heh, is this a blessing in disguise?"
On the attribute panel in Kai's mind, the energy points originally obtained by killing the death knight disappeared at some point, and even the energy bar, which had grown to one-sixth again, was emptied.
But correspondingly, the Holy Grail of Life belongs to Kai. In every sense of the word!
Kai thought about it for a long time before giving a guess. The condition of the Holy Grail exchange was one life for another. If he wanted to save Arthur, he had to sacrifice one person. And Kai chose himself. He originally planned to use the original water to carry it over, but he didn't expect that what the Holy Grail exchanged was not something else at all, but his soul!
Now there is nothing the Primordial Water can do. Kai voluntarily sacrificed his soul, which is similar to suicide. The Primordial Water will not care about suicide. Although this is not humane at all, it is reasonable.
Originally, Kai was really going to be disappointed this time, but who knew that Kai had a system? Although his system is crude, it is there at least. Moreover, the Holy Grail wants souls. It just so happens that Kai's system specializes in collecting souls, so in order to protect Kai, the host, the system actively trades its own 'experience' to the Holy Grail as a price.
I don’t know if this Holy Grail felt that the quality of the soul power given by Kai was too high, so I sucked it hard. In the end, it obviously exceeded the share of the transaction, so according to the principle of fairness, it itself treated itself as part of the 'price' and traded everything to Kai.
So now, this Holy Grail belongs completely to Kai.
This is Kai's guess. Although there is no evidence to prove it, this is the most reasonable explanation.
…
When Merlin woke up again, it was already night, and he was tied to the horse by Kai. Merlin's first reaction was that he had been kidnapped. But immediately he spotted Kai, who was riding another horse leading the way. They had left the dead forest and were heading back.
Merlin struggled to break free twice, but found that Kai was very skilled in his skills and could not break free at all.
"Are you awake?" Merlin was about to call out to Kai, but he didn't expect Kai to notice that he was awake in advance. "how do you feel?"
Kai unhooked Merlin from his horse while asking about Merlin's condition.
"It's okay...it's just that my head hurts a little." Merlin got off the horse weakly and almost fell down as soon as he stood on the ground. "And my whole body is numb."
"I'm sorry, I was afraid that you would fall off, so I tied it a little tight. Just move it around and you'll be fine." Kai apologized without sincerity, then took out a kettle and asked Merlin to drink some water.
This unlucky child's health was really bad. It was just a bump, and he was unconscious for a day. If Kai hadn't had some medical knowledge, this child would have been in big trouble. It’s normal to not eat or drink on this day and feel weak all over.
Merlin was indeed thirsty, so he picked up the kettle and drank it. After drinking a lot of water, he finally felt much better. Only then did he have the heart to care about Kai's situation.
"Are you okay? I saw you were in great pain at that time. I originally planned to help you, but... I didn't know what happened, so I passed out."
…
"Hey... when you go back, let's eat more meat." What else could Kai say to such a weakling? I can only pat him on the shoulder to show encouragement.
At first, Merlin couldn't understand the logical relationship, so he just said "Oh" stupidly, but his face immediately turned red. Is this contempt for him? Absolutely despise him!
But after thinking about it, Merlin realized that he didn't seem to have anything to refute, because he was indeed a weakling. How could he save people like this? In the end, someone else saved him...
Merlin's expression kept changing with the changes in his heart, and finally he lowered his head in shame.
"Okay, it's okay. What I thought before was indeed correct. The original fruit really worked. What we have to do now is to rush back as soon as possible and cure Arthur." Kai comforted Merlin and then started Make a fire and cook.
He wanted to continue on his way, but he was afraid that Merlin wouldn't be able to bear it, so he could only eat first, then take a rest and continue on his way.
