Chapter 1218: Chapter 7: Failed Creation (Part 3)
“I promise.”
Gongsun Ce shared his crazy idea.
“Ce!” Alandia’s expression was surprisingly similar to Orianna’s at this mont.
Gongsun Ce raised his hands: “You promised.”
“This is too much…” Dawn Knight slowly shook her head, “You always surprise . I want to oppose it, but I can’t find a reason to refute.”
“So should we adopt it?” Gongsun Ce said seriously, “I promise I won’t let everyone down.”
Dawn Knight could see his resolve, she made up her mind.
“We adopt it.” She said, “It’s settled.”
Gongsun Ce put his arm around her shoulder. They snuggled together, leaning against the yellowing wall of the old house.
“There is one last question.” Gongsun Ce said, “How can we ensure that all this preparation won’t be ‘recorded’ by Situ Yi’s script when we wake up?”
“I’ve co up with a solution.” Alandia said confidently, “If we ourselves don’t know our plan, then Situ Yi can’t make predictions.”
Gongsun Ce suddenly understood. It was a thod Situ Yi used four years ago, now properly returned in kind.
They sealed the night’s mories, keeping them in each other’s hearts.

The next day, morning.
Gongsun Ce woke up early this day, he opened his eyes drowsily, shocked by the female knight in his arms. He was confused for a while before he rembered what happened last night. A mischievous prank led by the knight miss.
“Alandia.” Gongsun Ce said with a grim face, “You really, really, really went too far this ti.”
“Did you sleep well?” Alandia opened her eyes.
“Terribly.” Gongsun Ce said. Reluctantly, he added: “Okay, slept pretty well. But Alandia, my patience is limited, if it weren’t for the current situation, I would have risked it, you understand?”
“I understand.” Dawn Knight remained calm as ever. Looking at her, Gongsun Ce couldn’t get angry, reluctantly hugging her tightly as revenge.
“Alandia, you just wait, after everything is over, I won’t give you a chance to run away.”
“For now, let’s think about the current matters.” Dawn Knight blinked. Gongsun Ce vaguely rembered the promise in the dream last night, they should have deposited sothing in each other’s hearts, and the one he kept seed related to…
“Holy Grail?”
“It’s ti to reforge the Holy Grail.”
Ten minutes later, Gongsun Ce returned to the great rift of lt Valley City, diving into the silent basin of fire, he took out his spoils.
The Contaminated Holy Grail, the Creation Realm weapon left by Red Mage, always used as fuel supplent for Nirvana Fla due to incompatibility. Gongsun Ce looked at the nurous bumps on the cup rim, contemplating several repair ideas in his mind.
(Look, I don’t lack offensive ans now, but longevity still falls short. Shiyu Ling still has so Blade Rain State rainwater, the Church headquarters also has many Holy Relics. I can refurbish it into a true Holy Grail from the canon—holding a panacea that heals wounds. In battle, it can have a resurrection effect.)
(This is a very feasible idea.) Dawn Knight said. Gongsun Ce recognized this tone, he sighed: (But still not perfect enough? Co on, tell your ideas.)
(As a Kingdom person, I’m more familiar with the Holy Grail Legend of Morton.)
The Holy Grail quest, knights leaving the royal city to find the all-powerful wish-granting Holy Grail for King Morton. Like those clichéd fairy tales, knights often can’t get “results” in many cases, but they can often find friendship, love, awakening, and other good qualities as rewards.
Dawn Knight revealed: (I hope you can use friendship, honor, sincerity, and other good qualities as materials to repair the Holy Grail.)
(That’s impossible.) Gongsun Ce frowned, (The foundation’s too dark, Red Mage’s greed soaked through it. Turning that greed into dicine is already very demanding, expecting it as a wish machine is too challenging, the conflict of intentions might completely destroy the Holy Grail.)
(The possibility of failure is high.) Dawn Knight agreed, (But it’s worth a try.)
(Why? Is it part of the plan?)
Gongsun Ce wasn’t surprised to hear a complex laugh. He examined the Holy Grail in his hand, muttering to himself: “The knight miss has high hopes for you.”
He pondered the kingdom’s Holy Grail story and proceeded with new work. With previous forging experience, this repair process was stress-free. He viewed the Holy Grail from a perspective, cautiously burning away pure negative intentions like poison and corrosion. Greed-related parts seed like a fiery golden mass, Gongsun Ce ticulously guided the greed to transform into longing for wish fulfillnt, converting the red gold into pure yellow.
The remaining process seed simple, he used white matter to extract various good intentions, carefully filling the cup’s damage. The Holy Grail legend ran through his mind, seeking a wish machine for the King amidst a long journey, through hardships, good qualities are the true treasure…
“!”
Suddenly, Gongsun Ce had a thought. (Don’t think!) He mustn’t think. He completely extinguished that tiny inspiration, focusing entirely on his work until the pile driver’s roar announced the armant’s completion.
“I told you…” Gongsun Ce was quite disappointed.
The reforged Holy Grail lacked any luster; its luxurious golden body looked like weathered brass, containing no longer tempting, rich blood wine but transparent, clear water. It lost both uniqueness and power, its ability greatly diminished. It could indeed grant wishes, but that wish-granting scope was quite small, at most a bit stronger than Douglas’s “Wish-granting Lamp.”
This armant isn’t exactly rare, also far from precious, the Church arsenal even has similar Holy Relics.
(…I was too eager.) Dawn Knight said.
“Alandia, you’ve been very tense lately.” Gongsun Ce scratched his head, “Don’t think too much, let’s leave it at this for now, perhaps we can try again if there’s a chance…”
“Ah Ce, you probably don’t have much ti left.”
Qin Qianbai, appearing from nowhere beside him, showed him the notification on his phone.
“Latest news from teor City Observatory, this year’s teor shower in Huang Guang State will occur 14~17 days earlier than scheduled, coinciding with the date of the United Election.” Qin Qianbai said, “The final battle is about to begin.”
