In this world, any scholar of European history cannot bypass two names, one is Holy Bishop and the other is Artoria.

The history of the whole of Europe from the 1st millennium to the 2nd millennium AD can be said to be the history of the struggle between these two forces.

The birth of the Knight King Artoria turned the British Isles into a powerful military empire with iron and fire, which was still a colony for gangsters, pirates, and fugitives.

For a thousand years, this pride that overwhelmed the whole world (Europe was the whole world in the eyes of Europeans at the time) gave Ireland no chance of breaking away on its own.

So, the United Kingdom of this world is made up of England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland, separated from the European continent by a strait, looking at each other.

In Europe, Britain has two distinct titles, one is called 'Europe's last conscience' and the other is called 'Europe's-stirring stick'.

The reason why Britain is called 'the last conscience of Europe' is because Britain often appears as the protector of weak countries, and the British royal family has protected weak kingdoms from being wiped out more than once, protected exiled princes, princesses, and kings, and even helped these exiles to return to their countries more than once in European history, which has brought great prestige to the British royal family.

For thousands of years, Britain has brought together the losers of political struggles and exiles on the European continent, and it was the collision of these people's ideas that sparked the spark of the British Industrial Revolution.

Every time there is a hegemon with absolute dominance in Europe, Britain will inevitably join forces and form an anti-hegemonic alliance with a group of younger brothers, so that the matter of unifying Europe will be messed up.

This has to do with the fact that Britain has always pursued a foreign policy of 'continental balance'. As an island nation isolated outside the European continent, Britain was very reluctant to see a hegemon with absolute dominance on the European continent.

Historically, whenever there has been a hegemon in Europe, it has been a time when Britain has been invaded and killed.

Roman invasion, Germanic invasion, Danish invasion, Norman invasion.

Anyway, before the first millennium AD, the British Isles were famous in Europe for soft persimmons and garbage dumps, and anyone could come to visit twice, grab something, exercise, and be good for physical and mental health.

This situation did not basically end until the first millennium AD - Artoria walked out of the Lake of Tranquility!

The original knight king's name was Artoria, and no one knew what her surname was, after all, she was just a descendant of a fugitive witch, and she was not a nobleman with a surname, who cared what her surname was, and even as a commoner, she might not have a surname at all?

And when Artoria conquered all of Europe, her name had become the surname of the British royal family, and who would dare to say anything?

If the faith of the common people of modern Europe is the Holy Bishop, then the faith of the modern European aristocracy is Artoria.

(Artoria here does not refer to Leilani Artoria, of course, but to the first Artoria who raised the banner of 'God loves the world, God is not in the church, but in the hearts of each of us', and she is the founder of the United Kingdom)

Of course, with the progress of the times, the power of the traditional aristocracy in Europe gradually declined, and the new aristocracy as capitalists occupied the mainstream.

However, as long as they still believe in blood inheritance and want to pass on their property and status to their children and grandchildren, whether they are traditional nobles or emerging nobles, they will naturally stand on the side of the nobility.

It was thanks to these people that the British royal family was able to stand firm in the midst of a revolutionary wave that overthrew the dictatorship, but with the introduction of a constitutional monarchy, it avoided the revolutionary wave that swept across Europe three hundred years ago.

At that time, the great revolutionaries of the generation who rolled up the plebeian revolution and proclaimed that 'all men are equal and have natural human rights' were finally stolen by the so-called 'new aristocracy'. They were the first generation of exiles to be exiled to the Americas.

It is precisely because their ideas were passed down in the Americas that they eventually brought Citi's free spirit and democratic ideas, and their descendants finally established a vibrant and emerging country without aristocratic oppression in this new hot land - Citi!

(The fat man's version of history, don't put it on the real history.) ）

The steamer slowly sailed into the Thames, the white hull of the boat paddling through the deep blue of the river, and a few seagulls chased after the stern, swooping down from time to time, picking up some small fish that had been beaten by the propellers and floated to the surface for dinner.

"Ha, Yuan and look, that seagull is still following us!" Standing on the top deck of the cruise ship, Sakura Kobayashi happily took her husband's hand and shouted.

She was talking about a seagull with a black spot on its wing, which had carried several pieces of bread in her hand.

"Well——, yes. ”

"Look, that's Big Ben?"

"Well——, yes. ”

"That's London Bridge?"

"Well——, yes. ”

"It looks historic, why don't we stop by?"

"Okay. "Yanagi Yuanhe, no matter in his previous life or future life, is not a person with elegant bones, in fact, he prefers to stay at home than to travel to scenic spots.

However, now that he has come to England, it is still necessary to fulfill this little wish of his wife.

"Sister Leilani will be our tour guide, okay?"

"Hahaha——? Okay, leave it to me. ”

Leilani smiled a little weakly, just like Shanghainese people often don't go to Shanghai Disneyland, as the eldest princess of the United Kingdom, she has been out of the lake of tranquility for all kinds of social activities, and she really hasn't visited the UK's own scenic spots - speaking of which, she is more familiar with the scenic spots of Tokyo.

The Port of Altoria in London is the largest passenger port in London.

"That's ——?"

"The royal family's convoy, are there any big names coming today?"

"Didn't you say it on the news?"

A convoy of luxury cars drove by, with the crown mark on the door, which was not the logo of the car, but the mark of the British royal family (which is also the generic trademark of the royal brand).

"Great Juggernaut, welcome to London, the capital of the United Kingdom!"

Queen Koror of England wore a graceful black dress and a crown on her head, and greeted the arrival of Motowa Yagyu with great solemnity.

The world has entered the information age, and within a week of the ship crossing the ocean, Yanagi Won and the good deeds done in Goguryeo have finally spread on a certain level.

After all, there were too many people and related forces who witnessed it at that time, and such important news could be blocked for a while, and perhaps no one wanted to let the news of the existence of Liu Shengyuan and such figures in the world be widely spread, but as a force close to the national level, the British royal family could not help but care about such an existence that could break the strategic balance.

Therefore, today Koror put on a posture to welcome the head of state to greet Motowa Yanagi.

"Sister Koror, you don't have to be so polite. Looking at the reporters who were rushing all the way in the distance, Yanagi Yuanhe hurriedly interrupted Kroll's diplomatic rhetoric: "Let's go quickly, I don't want to be watched like a precious animal." ”

"Okay, please come with me. Koror personally led the way and led everyone to an RV. Behind them were the disappointed eyes of many reporters.

"Sister, why did you come to greet us in person today?" asked Leilani as she sat in a seat farther away from her as she got into the car. Her life realm is harmful to Kroll, so naturally she has to distance herself a little.

"We, the Yanagi Sword Saint, are probably able to enjoy the treatment of the head of state level wherever we go now. Kroll explained.

"We've got some videos here, and we'll see you right back. However, he is imposing, and we are in trouble. Looking at Yanagi Yuanhe, Kobayashi Sakura and his sister talking and laughing, Krol no longer held the queen's shelf, leaned on the seat relaxedly, and said with a smile.

"What's wrong, sister?" asked Leilani.

"It's not that the Great Sword Saint's display of force in Goguryeo is too amazing, and now for the bet opened by the two of you again in November, the odds have been completely reversed, and now as long as you know about it, no one is optimistic that you can win. ”

Croll said helplessly.

Originally, everyone arranged it well, and Yanagi Yuanhe's work was done, and it seemed that the two of them would go through the motions when the time came, and the British royal family would be able to make a fortune.

As a result, Yanagi Wonhe went to Goguryeo to make such a big fuss, and it was simply a god's might.

Yanagi Yuanhe is now majestic, but in November, under the watchful eye of the people, according to the private agreement between the two, after a fierce battle between Leilani and Yanagi Yuanhe, Yanagi Yuanhe was going to lose.

As a result, those who know about it took a look - where are the gods and demons in the world who can wipe out the army head-on in Goguryeo and even cut down the mountains? This game is completely a fake fight!

Don't look at the British royal family as an aristocratic leader, but this game involves a lot of real money in betting, and people may not really buy the British royal family's account.

When the time comes, it will be troublesome to make any scandals.

"Well, that's a problem—" Yanagi was reminded by Kroll, and then remembered this.

In Goguryeo, it was when he was going to establish power, how could Yanagi Won have the idea of hiding clumsiness, of course, he went all out, so as to make sure that the sound and light effects were good, and at first glance it made people feel invincible.

But if he fights against Leilani, he really doesn't think that Leilani can have a few chances of winning when he has all his hole cards.

Not to mention anything else, just a million sword lights swept through the sky, even if he couldn't level Leilani's path to Genesis, at least he could control the distance between the two, and he was inherently invincible, and it was difficult for the flying dragon to lose.

"Huh?!, is that for this?" asked Leilani, surprised.

"I said Nini, you haven't seen this Great Sword Saint really make a move, have you? ”

Krolle said helplessly, of course she knew that her sister had been invincible since she walked out of the Lake of Tranquility, and she had not tasted defeat, (Martial Soul was promoted to demigod, and she was stuck, so it can't be regarded as a real failure) It is understandable that her heart is high.

But after watching the video materials of Yanagi Yuanhe, even Krolle is not optimistic about his sister.

"Hmph, I don't know anything else, but as long as I don't do it in that part of his manor, I'm not afraid of him anywhere else! Besides, sister, I'm also making progress, how can you ever see me go all out now?"

"Motowa Yanagi, I'll definitely surprise you with this fight!" Leilani said with a sworn oath.

The Temple of the Round Table in London, England, is the main residence of the British royal family in London. This temple can basically be seen as Buckingham Palace in another world, but in this world, the British royal family is extremely powerful, and naturally there is nothing to do with the Duke of Buckingham.

The temple has a long history, having been built since the time of Artoria II, and has been expanded and renovated over the centuries.

The first twelve Knights of the Round Table have all left their own knightly heritage here, and each subsequent generation of true Knights of the Round Table (referring to the Knights of the Round Table who have the strength of a knight, unlike the honorary Knights of the Round Table who do not have the strength of a knight but who do the work of the Knights of the Round Table) will leave their own proud works here.

Therefore, in addition to being a British royal palace and a holy place for knights in Europe, knights who have not studied here dare not say that they are real noble knights.

The Temple of the Round Table is divided into three parts, the most important of which is the Knights' Hall (for a fee, of course) that is open to all European martial arts practitioners.

There are two martial arts arenas, one with horse tracks for knights to practice their skills, and the other for walking combat skills and basic physical training.

Of course, there is also a modern gym with the most scientific fitness equipment and the most professional fitness instructors, as well as a canteen that offers a special nutrition package.

Separated from this warrior shrine by a street, the central part of the Sanctuary of the Round Table is home to the Royal Museum, where the knightly heritage of the Knights of the Round Table is located.

Of course, in modern society, the value of these cultural relics far exceeds the value of martial arts secret techniques.

In addition to the knightly heritage of the Knights of the Round Table, there are countless armor, weapons, paintings, sculptures, and other artifacts on display, many of which were looted, collected, and purchased from various colonies during the British colonial era.

Well, there are also artifacts from Japan, Goguryeo, and even the Red Flag. However, in this world, even in the era of the most powerful Europe, the land in the East has not been conquered, so there is no large-scale plunder, most of them are purchased and collected, and of course the quantity and quality are not so high.

These things are nominally the private property of the British royal family, but even if the current Queen of England wants to use them, she must report them through the royal management committee.

This is a precautionary measure to prevent a prodigal son from suddenly popping up in the future generations and ruining the wealth accumulated by the royal family.

The Governing Council of the Royal Family is generally chaired by the incoming Queen of England, and women with the surnames Artoria, Elizabeth and Elijah are automatically members. In other words, this committee is actually composed of royal blood.

(In the British royal family, if you awaken four or more abilities — not including four abilities — you can inherit Artoria's name; if you awaken one ability to inherit Elizabeth's name, if you don't have an ability, you can only have the surname Elija, and girls with the surname Elijah do not have the right to inherit the throne.) ）

One of Liu Shengyuan's important targets here, a flawless jade plate with a diameter of one and a half inches, is quietly displayed in an inconspicuous corner of this huge museum.
