[It's past twelve o'clock again...... This chapter is so difficult to write!

I put too much thought into it, writing and deleting and deleting and writing, trying to simplify and simplify.

I just pray that after reading it, you won't think that I will be fine if I pour more water......

British history is really a mess...... Looking at the information, my brain is about to explode!]

......

Chapter 216 [Clue]

According to legend, King Arthur's sword in stone was cut off in battle like this!

So...... The hilt of the sword is there, but where does the blade go?

Such a holy sword, an important symbol of royal power...... I'm afraid no one would just throw it away as an ordinary sword!

Well, the role of the sword in the stone is, in general, twofold: the first layer is actual combat. The second layer is a symbol of royal power.

Legend has it that if this sword is broken, then the actual combat effect will naturally be abandoned.

But the role of the symbol of royal power can still be preserved!

Or is that the problem......

Where is the blade?

......

Chen Xiaolian exhaled and glanced at the spare tire: "You asked a really good question. ”

"Huh?" the spare tire scratched his hair and grinned, "Really?"

"I have a hunch. Chen Xiaolian smiled bitterly: "With the system's urine nature, since we have opened a task for us to find the hilt of the sword, then...... This matter is by no means over. I'm worried that in the next mission, maybe the system will let us find the blade!

Otherwise, it doesn't seem to make sense to simply find a sword hilt. The plot should be some kind of coherent or linking. ”

Tire glanced at his brother: "I think what the little face said makes sense." ”

"That'...... Are we looking for a blade?"

"Hmm!" Chen Xiaolian slapped the steering wheel hard!

Then his expression looked excited: "I think...... If we wait for the system to release the mission, maybe we will be sent to a hell place like the Tower of London, and then a whole bunch of monsters will be created to fight and kill. Maybe another boss like Lancelot can come up...... It's too hard to do that.

Why don't we do it now?

While the system has not yet released the mission, the plot has not been activated!

The plot is not activated, the quest is not released, then ...... Maybe there won't be any monsters, bosses, or anything like that!

Of course, this is just a guess on my part. ”

Although it is just a guess, both the tire and the spare tire think that Chen Xiaolian's guess seems to be very reasonable.

It doesn't hurt to try anyway!

If you can open the next task before the system opens. If you find the blade, you might be able to save a lot of effort!

"So what are you waiting for!Let's go find the blade now!" the spare tire rubbed up.

The smile on Chen Xiaolian's face faded again.

"The question is...... Where's the blade?"

......

The blade of a sword in a stone.

If it is in reality, someone asks, how can I find the sword in the stone...... This question is sure to be laughed out of people's teeth.

Because...... The sword in the stone does not exist in reality at all!!

It's a fiction out of literature!!

The whole legend of King Arthur, what King Arthur pulled out the sword in the stone, what the Knights of the Round Table, what Lancelot ** his wife......

These are all works of literature.

Not real history!

It's like trying to find a handful of frost sorrows in the real world.

That's.

......

But...... Chen Xiaolian looked at the hilt of the sword in the stone in his hand.

The real thing is right in front of you. It's in hand.

"Since the hilt of the sword in the stone really exists...... Then the sword in the stone itself seems to be stored in the real world......

Although I don't know what the hell is going on.

But...... The system is omnipotent, and there is always a way for it to come out. ”

Chen Xiaolian thought for a while: "The idea lies in ...... From the legend of King Arthur, look for clues. ”

Chen Xiaolian thought for a while, took out his mobile phone, went online, and checked some information.

Although he had seen the legend of King Arthur, he had seen several versions. But after all, he is not a computer, and many details are not very clear. Especially some important details, it is better to re-verify.

"Hmm...... The earliest complete version of the legend of King Arthur appeared in the 12th century AD. That is, it occurred between 1100 and 1200 AD. Chen Xiaolian said slowly: "The complete legend of King Arthur was formed during this period. Including the Sword in the Stone, including the Knight of the Round Table, and the love triangle between him and Lancelot and the Queen...... These legends were formed during this period. ”

The spare tire and tire two guys just looked at Chen Xiaolian so stupidly.

"Uh...... Little face, you know that I don't read much with the spare tire, so you should try to be as simple and clear as possible. Tire smiled wryly.

Chen Xiaolian suddenly smiled. He took out a blank piece of paper and a pen and quickly drew a topographic map in the shape of a long island.

"You see, it's like England, even though I'm a little rudimentary. ”

Chen Xiaolian said slowly: "The history of Britain is actually very strange, they did not have a complete country before 800 AD...... This is different from my Great Celestial Empire, we have had a great unification very early.

At that time, Britain was first ruled by the Romans, and after the decline of the Roman Empire, the Romans left Britain, and then the British ...... How to say it, it has become a pot of porridge and a pond of mud.

There are indigenous races, there are alien races, in short, all kinds of big fights.

And then, around the 7th century A.D., there were seven relatively large lords in the land of England -- what?

Belch...... You must not have read A Song of Ice and Fire! Actually, Martin Sr. wrote a novel based on this setting.

Well, far away, one of the seven lords, one of whom is more bullish, conquered the other native lords, and for the time being, it was recognized by all the native lords. It is recognized by everyone as the king of England.

The first dynasty in British history was established.

Well, I won't say the name, you can't remember it anyway.

However, this dynasty did not rule the whole territory of Britain...... In other words, there is no one who dominates the world.

Why? Because Britain is an island nation, there are many forces from the European continent that are constantly invading. Among them, the most invasion was Northern Europe, well, at that time, the most invasion of Britain was the Danes.

Part of the territory has been occupied by the Danes.

Then the native English dynasty was very bitter.

At that time, Britain was very poor and backward, and was bullied by the Danes very badly.

But what is even more difficult is that they still can't beat the Danes.

And then...... It was also by the Danes. That is, the first dynasty of Britain proper, which did not unify the whole country. And it was also conquered by the Danes.

The Danes ruled England.

But what...... Later, there was a strange thing.

This strange name is Edward, and this guy is the last prince of the bitter English dynasty.

He was the first English king in English history to unify the country.

He unified England, not because he was able to fight well, nor because he started a revolution...... Rather, because of intermarriage and marriage.

The last Danish king who ruled England by the Danes hung up.

This Edward, who inherited the throne...... Because, although he was an Englishman, because his mother was married to the King of Denmark, because the King of Denmark wanted to rule England so that the English would not rebel. He married Edward's mother, the former Queen of England.

Other words...... Edward, he was not only an English prince. And legally, he is also the stepson of the King of Denmark!

And he succeeded to the throne, and at once ruled all of England. ”

The tire spare tire was stunned: "This Nima is too lucky." ”

Chen Xiaolian shrugged his shoulders: "Of course, the process is very complicated, so I won't go into details......! The history of Europe cannot be measured by our Eastern ideas. ”

"And then?" the spare tire seemed to be a little addicted to listening.

And then ...... This Edward did something stupid. ”

Chen Xiaolian said slowly: "We've all entered the Tower of London tonight, right?"

"yes. ”

"Well, that's where the story begins. Chen Xiaolian said slowly: "After this lucky Edward became the king, but he was very unlucky, he had no sons and no descendants!"

So. At the time of his death, no one could inherit the throne.

So he did something stupid, when he chose an heir...... A promise was made to two different people to pass on the throne to each other.

However, there is only one throne.

So. After Edward hung up, war broke out. ”

Chen Xiaolian said, looking back at the car window, in the direction of the Tower of London, he took a deep breath.

"The first English king to sweep the world out by force appeared......! The one who built the Tower of London!

The ...... from France William. ”

Chen Xiaolian's eyes were a little distracted, and it wasn't until the tire and spare tire coughed vigorously that he turned around and said with a wry smile: "I'm sorry, I'm a little distracted." ”

He then took a deep breath: "Before Edward died, he promised two people to inherit the throne.

One is Edward's wife's younger brother, well, his brother-in-law.

The other is Edward's cousin, William, Duke of Normandy of France.

This William was not actually French. You see, I said that he was Edward's cousin, which means that he has British royal blood...... Of course, in fact, the bloodline is not so simple, because the history of the Normandy family, that is another story, I will not talk nonsense.

Let's put it this way, after Edward's death, his brother-in-law quickly inherited the throne because he was close to the water.

And then...... William quit! He roared angrily: I bought a watch last year! Edward said that the throne would be given to me!

So, he led his troops in to grab the throne.

And he also grabbed it.

This guy is very awesome!

His military talent was very powerful, he launched a war, led his troops from Normandy, France, and slaughtered Edward's brother-in-law directly on the battlefield!

Then he fought all the way and pacified the whole of England.

If there is a similar role in British history...... This guy should be the closest.

His name was William, and he had a nickname in history, which was ......

William the Conqueror. ”

Chen Xiaolian said here and thought for a while: "If it is said that Britain was the first in history to conquer the world by force. The king who completed the unification of the king...... Well, this conqueror, William, was the first. ”

After a pause, he continued: "The Tower of London was built by this William. In the earliest days, it was a military castle built for the purpose of war. And he finally laid down the world, so his dynasty. In English history, it is known as the Norman Dynasty, and the Norman Dynasty is also known for short.

It can be said that it is from this time in history that Britain became really strong and became a great power. ”

Speaking of the Tower of London, the eyes of the tires and spare tires are lit up!

Tower of London!!

They found the hilt of the sword in the stone in the Tower of London!!

"Think about it...... William's conquest of England as king of England took place in the 10th century.

And just after he unified Britain and turned Britain into a great power......

The legend of King Arthur...... It began to circulate. ”

Chen Xiaolian said with a smile: "In the story, King Arthur can fight well. There are countless warriors under his command, and the most important thing is ...... He has a sword in the stone given by God! This is the symbol of the legal system that he has become a king!

Although King Arthur itself is a literary story, it is essentially no different from those online fiction novels we read.

But if it's an insinuation......

Personally, I think William the Conqueror is the most similar one in terms of temperament.

Or rather...... Suppose there really is a sword in the stone.

And this sword in the stone represents the words of the royal power given by God......

So, who do you think this sword in the stone should be in its hands?"

Tires and spare tires speak in unison:

"That's him!!"

The first powerful king to pacify the world by force!!

A sword from heaven that symbolizes royal power!!

This kind of sword. He doesn't wear it, is anyone else entitled to have it?!

......

"I think there are probably two possibilities.

The first. There really was King Arthur in history, and there was a sword in stone. But...... When William unified the world, he got this sword in the stone...... That's why he can be invincible and sweep the world. Because he got the sword of kings!

Second, William is the prototype of the legendary King Arthur, so the sword in the stone...... Maybe it's the sword he wears.

Anyway. I think that the sword in the stone should be the most likely in William's hands!"

The eyes of the tire and spare tire are lit up.

The spare tire suddenly said: "But...... With the Sword in the Stone, did William's dynasty later perish?"

"Perished, replaced by another dynasty. ”

"Why?" the spare tire glared.

Chen Xiaolian smiled: "Probably...... It was the sword in the stone that was broken. Broken in two. Therefore, the divine power of the royal power is incomplete, and it can only be blessed for a period of time, and after a while, it will lose the protection of the divine power, hahahaha...... I'm kidding, maybe that's how the system sets the plot. ”

"The key now is...... Let's assume that the clue is on William the Conqueror, so maybe the blade of the sword in the stone can be found from him?" Tire was stunned for a moment: "But...... How many years has this guy been dead? A thousand years, right?"

The spare tire shouted: "I'll wipe it! I won't want us to rob the tomb again! I don't want to go through that kind of thing in the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum!"

"Stupid!" Tire suddenly reacted: "Of course this symbol of power will not be brought to the grave...... It must be passed on to future generations. ”

He looked at Chen Xiaolian: "Right? It must be passed on to future generations, right?"

"Hmm...... I think this speculation is very plausible. ”

Chen Xiaolian picked up his mobile phone and shook it: "William the Conqueror's family is called the Duke of Normandy's family, Normandy is their surname, and this surname, over thousands of years, has evolved and simplified to 'Norman'. His descendants, although they did not become kings again, have always retained the title of nobility, and in England, it should be a relatively old nobleman......"

Saying this, Chen Xiaolian's face suddenly changed wildly! His words and the smile on his face stopped abruptly, and the expression on his face even froze.

Norman...... Norman...... Aristocrat......!

He suddenly remembered a strange and familiar name!

No......

No......

It can't be such a coincidence, right!!!

It's true...... Such a coincidence?!!

......

............

[I'm sure some readers have already guessed it......

I didn't guess it, but now I'm going to turn to the last few paragraphs of chapter 95 of the book......

I've buried more than 100 chapters of this pit, this pit, this pit of this name!

Please believe me, this chapter is really not flooding, I thought about these plots when I was in chapter 95, and it really wasn't written temporarily to flood and cheat the number of words!

Ahem.

PS: The British history described by Chen Xiaolian has been simplified as much as possible, and many contents have naturally been omitted in the middle, such as Alfred the Great and so on......

Historians are not to be laughed at, not because I, as an author, are ignorant, but because if I write in more detail, the reader will think that I am popularizing British history......

For the sake of fiction, there are only a few things that can be omitted from the description of British history. 】
