Zong Shou/First Life

The Zong Shou on his first life is supposed to be from an era thirteen thousand years in the future compared to the current timeline.

## Description

He had a normal and common face, the type that one would not be seen if thrown into a crowd. He was working as the manager of a library in one of the small countries of the Cloud World, sitting around and waiting for his turn to die. His identity could not be any more normal.

In his last life, he had another name, but living in the present and in this place, that previous name no longer held any meaning to him.

## Cultivation

In the game during his last life, he trained the martial artist basics to the ancestor level. In the entire Cloud World, only around a thousand people had a similar achievement.

The sword theories, the sword changes; he had grasped all of it. Zong Shou was famous for the sword. Within the game, out of the Seven Emperors and the millions of players, he was a pinnacle existence.

He says he was above Celestial Realm in the game and forcefully got Ascended Ancestor(I'm not sure it is this level, can someone check?) in real life

## Cloud World

The **Cloud World** in the future prohibited fighting. With the spiritual energy in the land drying up, only some special regions known as Shrines had thicker energy. Cultivation started to fall behind. With the appearance of various machines, technology started to rise up.

However, the people of the Cloud World still inherited the genes of their ancestors, to continue to strive to become stronger, to fight against Heaven and Earth.

Unable to cultivate normally, they could only make up for that in the virtual game worlds.
The most famous one was a virtual reality MMORPG known as God Emperor. It was said that they had hired all the famous martial artists of the era and hundreds of historians. They were able to recreate the era of thirteen thousand years ago. It was the time before the God Emperor descended, where heroes and legends were common. Martial arts and chanting cultivation methods proceeded as a part of daily life, and everything was exceedingly close to reality.

He remembered that in the last life, his last bit of consciousness was within God Emperor. The battle of the Seven Emperors of the Cloud World. He had one sword, challenging groups of heroes. However, at the final moment, his body suddenly felt a current, and he lost consciousness.

After he woke up, he found himself in a different body. Everything in front of him was not the familiar world from before. So was he currently in the game, or was he truly in an era thirteen thousand years in the past?
Monster Race

## Description

Based on the records, the so-called monster race were ancestors who injected the blood of strong beasts into their bodies to increase their fighting strength. They did this to face the wild beasts that swept the land.

However, once that intense and cruel era ended, humans started to fear these people. As such, they decided to form their own race among themselves, which was how the monster race came about. After tens of thousands of years, this race had pretty much become extinct. Zong Shou had only seen them within the game.
Pierre

**Brother Pierre** is a papal spy undercover in the Knights Templar under the guise of a Templar initiate in the Paris Temple. His mission was uncovering the whereabouts of the Holy Grail and feeding information to Roland and his cohorts.

After Parsifal killed Roland, just before he revealed the information Roland provided, Pierre murdered him.
Lu Hanyan

Lu Hanyan is the biological mother of Zong Shou and Zong Weiran wife. Close to none informations are known yet aside that she is from human race and that, as her son, she possess the Lu family's Sky Burning bloodline.

After giving birth to Zong Shou she was taken away to the Lu Family where she was convicted a sinner of the family. She was sent to to the Nine Extreme Death Jail where she has experienced torture for the duration of Zong Shou's life. It is assumed that Zong Weiran has attempted to enter the Nine Extreme Death Jail while Zong Shou was forced out of the Cloud World by the Taoist faction.
Cloud Shocking God Destroying Sword Intent

Within his body was the Lingyun Ancestor’s secret legacy-Cloud Shocking God Destroying Sword, the eighteen sword intent spirit seeds with all the secrets. Sword power, sword strength, sword qi, sword sharpness, sword rhythm, sword strength, sword sense, sword soul, sword spirit, all the secrets and methods to use were all included in the form of seeds.

As long as he looked to it everyday, nurturing and developing it everyday, he would be able to truly grasp it. He would be able to practice this Lingyun Sect secret sword technique easily in the future.
Clement V

**Pope Clement V**, formally **Archbishop Raymond DeGoth**, is the Head of the Vatican and the Catholic Church. He was elected to be the Pope after his predecessor Boniface VIII was assassinated.

He was elected to the Papacy with the help of King Philip of France. After he was elected he was forced by Philip to convict the Knights Templar of heresy.

Kelton Fitz Laval

**Brother Kelton Fitzlaval** is a Knights Templar initiate at Temple Chartres and the most skilled archer in the initiate group.

Shortly after the training, he and his fellow initiates received their mantles. He and his Brothers were put to the ultimate test when King Philip IV of France and Pope Clement V launched an assault on Chartres. He put his bow to the test as he fired a fire arrow on Eudes's explosives. During a night raid, he was captured and interrogated, and upon seeing the tortured Grandmaster Jacques de Molay. Kelton revealed the location of the Sally Port on Chartres, which led to the capture of Landry and his fellow Templars.

In Paris at the trial, he was forced to 'Confess a Crime' in exchange that he lived. He was later set free, however reeling from his actions that placed his Brothers on the stake, he recanted the night of the execution. As his Brothers were about to be burned, he changed his story and attempted to reveal to the Paris folks that he was forced to lie. King Philip then incited the people to give Kelton his punishment. Kelton, who failed to appease the people, was then ripped apart by the angry mob.
Roland

**Roland** was a papal agent under the guise of a highwayman ordered by the Pope to find and recover the Holy Grail by all means necessary, especially hiring known criminals around Paris. He led an ambush on Grandmaster Godfrey whom he mortally wounded but failed to retrieve information on the Grail and murdered Marie and her family as payback for Parsifals incursion.

He was later captured, tied to a tree, and tortured by Parsifal, to the point that he sold out the Pope and whistled some serious information. Instead, Parsifal made it known he was not interested in making him talk but making him pay for Marie and her family and axed his head in half.

Su Chuxue

## Appearance

She had extraordinarily beautiful looks, picture-perfect, and at the sides of her head were a pair of really cute white cat ears. This was one of the two servants he had in this world when he woke up: **Su Chuxue.**

Her protruding front and bottom were on full display. Long drenched hair, bright red cheeks, snow white skin, and those pair of cat ears; the temptation simply could not be described with words.

## Background

Chuxue was his maid. She came from the tiger-cat race, which was a branch of the monster race. Although she looked really pretty, she was very active and loved to eat. She looked like a gentle and quiet person, like everyone's dream girl, but she could not sit still for even a moment. When she ate, the jaws of others would drop. Although her name was Su Chuxue, apart from her skin being snow white, her temperament and personality were totally different from her name.

Chuxue's strength, as well as her immense speed, did not purely come from cultivation techniques. In fact, at least thirty percent of it came from the talents of the snow cat race.

On Gantian Mountain there were numerous maids, and many of them were clever people. There were also many whose families had a high status. She was only better than normal people her age because she double cultivated, and was chosen as the prince's maidservant.

Isabella

**Princess Isabella** is the sixth child and youngest daughter of King Philip IV of France and Queen Joan and the Princess of France and Navarre.

Isabella first appears in Find Us the Grail portrayed by Sabrina Bartlett. When first see Isabella meeting her father, Philip IV of France to discuss her marriage prospects. At the start of the series Isabella wants to marry her mother's cousin's son, Prince Lluis of Catalonia, stating they have been exchanging letters of courtship.

## Personality

While Isabella is very beautiful on the outside, inside, she is a truly despicable person. She is selfish, uncaring, arrogant and mean spirited. She was also remorseless in the atrocities she committed, such as setting up Prince Lluis of Catalonia to be killed in a fire, selling her mother out to Phillip so she could remain in the palace and enjoy a life of luxury, or even setting Margaret of Burgundy up to appear as an adulteress.

She is very petty and prideful, believing Margaret's comment about being welcome in France was patronizing when she was trying to offer comfort. Feeling her pride couldn't be insulted, she drugged Margaret, had her lovers Philippe and Gautier D'Aunay rape her, and used Borumian rings as evidence to frame her for adultery. She even went as far as to reveal to Margaret that she was the one who put her in the tower.

She is also shown to be very sadistic. The first is when the D'Aunay brothers inform Isabella that Margaret has been framed, to which she responds with a smile. This happens again when she views Margaret being arrested for adultery and walks away smirking. She then goes on to reveal to Margaret that she framed her simply for wounding her pride and slapped her.

Except for her family, she sees almost everyone as expendable or as pawns for her own uses. When her lovers, the D'Aunay brothers, had aided in framing Margaret, Isabella had them killed by the Paris City Watch in order to keep them from speaking out against her.

She constantly showed disgust and contempt for her father's decision to marry her to Prince Edward, constantly bringing up his reputation as a sodomite. However, she was left with no choice in the matter as she was forced to obey her father's will.

Talus

**Brother-Master Talus** is the strict and hardened initiate training master at the temple Chartres. He is considered harsh and takes the Templars code seriously. Talus did not favor Landry's reinstatement, and made it unbearable for him to retain his good name through the initiate training. He is a devout christian and a skilled veteran in the Knights Templar. Despite his hard-headed position, especially with Landry, he was able to come around and accept Landry as a brother.

## Personality

Upon his introduction, Talus showed no respect or faith in Landry, firmly stating that a man's worth in is in their deeds, not their words. Even after Landry was accepted back, he was very hard on him and went as far as to outright say he didn't believe he could be saved by God's grace.

In terms of teaching, he took the Code of the Knights Templar very seriously and was rather harsh on the Initiates, especially Landry. He was not above calling them derogatory names, such as 'worthless pig humpers'. When Kelton did eight chews instead of the mandatory seven, Talus made him vomit his food onto the table and had Landry clean it up.

He was often very blunt when speaking and was never afraid to call out people for their stupidity and faults. This is exemplified when he called Landry out after the mission in 'God's Executioners' to retrieve the gold from the Paris Temple. When Landry defended his choices and claimed he wanted to help Raynald, Talus rebuffed this and claimed his intention was to glorify himself.

He dropped his harsh demeanor when he rescued Landry from the Luciferians, revealing that he had survived ten years in an Acre prison and believed that it was his faith that allowed him to endure. He tells Landry that when he has nothing else to hold onto his faith, showing his complete dedication to God. Because of him being taken prisoner, he expresses a desire to rather die fighting than to be captured, not wanting to relive the same horrors again.

After Landry and the Initiates became Templars, he shows a much more calm, caring yet still stern side to his personality. He even offers wisdom to Landry when he reveals he misses Eve and states that Landry is no longer the man he once was, having changed for the better. He even tells Landry to see his daughter after the attack on the Church of St, Lazarus, showing a very understanding side to his personality.

As hardened and unnecessarily harsh and stubborn as he could be, his hard exterior harbored a veteran Templar and a good-hearted man.

The Chartres Temple is under siege by King Philip IV of France who now has the backing of the new Pope. Princess Isabella carries out an insidious plot on her sister-in-law, Margaret of Burgundy.

## Plot

Pope Clement V, under the influence of King Philip, de Nogaret and Gawain, declares the Templars to be heretics. Jacques de Molay and some of the Templars hold up in the Chartres Temple rather than surrender to King Philip's army, but they soon realize that they have been duped. Suspecting the trap, Landry, along with other Templars, refuses to march out of the Temple, which is attacked by King Philip's army. During the battle, King Philip's men attempt to use gunpowder to blow up the gate, but this is thwarted thanks to a Templar archer. When King Philip's army try to build a siege tower, Landry leads an expedition into the camp and successfully sabotages it, but unfortunately three Templars are left behind in the camp. Under threat of torture (which didn't work on de Molay) one of them discloses the location of the secret gate into the Chartres Temple. King Philip and his army attack the Temple using the secret gate, and defeat the Templars. At the palace, Isabella asks two of her lovers to rape Margaret after drugging her. Isabella later betrays these men and has them killed.
