Chapter 43: The True Identity of the Maiden
The legend of the sword in the stone will not be unfamiliar to any qualified Bretonian.\\
Its last and only owner was the famous Knight King of Bretonia, a peerless warrior who once commanded the world. As a young man, the Knight King drew his sword in the stone and began his legendary life, leading his army to successive victories, defeating all of Bretonia's opponents, unifying the regime, and establishing a knightly kingdom admired by countless people.
Unfortunately, due to repeated infighting, this prosperous kingdom fell apart not long after, and the Knight King himself was seriously wounded and died in the rebellion, and legend has it that the sword of royal power he held returned to the ideal land with his body, never to appear in the world again. It was the punishment of the gods for the Bretonians for turning their backs on the noble and immaculate king, and for living in division and war.
Of course, there are many legends about the Knight King, and there are many people who firmly believe that he is not dead, but only sleeping temporarily. There are even travelers from the east, who say that they have seen the sword in the east a long, long time ago, but most of these rumors are difficult to verify. And the only thing that is believed in today is. Only the Knight King can use the Sword in the Stone. It was the sword of kingship, and it was also a sword that belonged exclusively to the Knight King, and it could never be given to anyone else, and unless the Knight King appeared, the sword in the stone would sleep forever.
And now, the sword of royal power that has disappeared for a hundred years has reappeared in the world
Inside and outside Dragon City, tens of millions of people stared at the sky in amazement, staring at the heavy sword that was covered with blood but could not hide its edge.
"The Sword of the Knight's Stone?"
"Is it really a sword in the stone?"
As a testament to the royal power of Bretonia, the Sword in the Stone has an extraordinary meaning for every Bretonian people, and when the Sword in the Stone appears, every Bretonian who sees it will feel a throbbing of submission from the bottom of his heart. That throbbing is unique, and as long as you love the land of Bretonia, you will not be mistaken.
And then more importantly, the next question: "What will the sword in the stone be in her hands?" ”
"Who is she?"
The sword in the stone is the sword of the knight king, and only the knight king can pick up the sword in the stone, which is a self-evident truth in the land of Bretonia, but now, the sword in the stone is held in the hands of a young girl......
Could it be that she is the Knight King? Or, more than a hundred years have passed, and even Shizhongjian has given up its original owner?
Countless doubts were trapped in their hearts, making people even forget what to do, and in the Longcheng military camp, thousands of people stopped fighting and watched the changes in the sky in a daze.
"I didn't expect it to be you." Even though he was pierced in the chest with a heavy sword, the Faceless Man's voice remained calm, but under the severe injury, the voice was faint and could only be heard by the two of them. "You're not dead.
Aya didn't say a word about this, but did her best to pierce the sword in the stone deeper into the body of the faceless one.
This opportunity can be said to have been bought by Wang Lu at the risk of his life. What a cautious and cunning man is the Faceless One, and how easy is it to be deceived? Aya had fought the Faceless Ones, and there was no shortage of wise men under her command at the time, but the Faceless Ones were still able to escape when they joined forces.
To be honest, the Faceless One was deceived, and Aya was also the first time to see it, if it weren't for Wang Lu Fangcai's successive use of Liuli Immortal, Dog Chess and himself as bait, and sacrificing tens of millions of spirit stones to hit a sword that was enough to threaten high-level and high-level professionals, the Faceless Man would never hastily transfer the target to catch Marina's mother and daughter, and without haste, it would be impossible for him not to see that Marina had been dropped.
And without that momentary negligence, Aya would not have been able to stab that sword.
As a Heroic Spirit, her strength is far from returning to its peak, and on the basis of trying to suppress the side effects as much as possible, she can only burst out the strength of her fellow high-level senior professionals at most, and only for a moment. With the supreme power of the artifact stone sword, Aya successfully broke through the defenses of the Faceless, but after the heavy sword penetrated the body, Aya found that the Faceless's body had far exceeded the ordinary scope, and she didn't know what secret method was used to strengthen it. Not only is it as strong as steel, but it also contains an extremely powerful energy in its body, and every time the sword in the stone penetrates deeper, it can feel a great repulsive force, and at the same time, the sword body is also under strong high pressure. If it weren't for the indestructibility of the sword in the stone, it would inevitably be damaged under this shock.
However, the Faceless Person's resistance only lasted for a moment, and the strength of the resistance finally collapsed under the increasingly powerful destructive power of the Sword in the Stone. The Faceless One sighed, blood pouring out from every pore of his body, except for the pale face.
"Congratulations, you have won this round by defeating the Faceless One of All Evils." As he spoke, the Faceless One took out his pen and drew a bloody smile on his face, "But just like a hundred years ago, the war is not over, I look forward to fighting you for the third time, I hope you can live until that time."
After saying that, the Faceless's blood-stained robe suddenly twisted, as if a void vortex had been created inside, and the Faceless's entire body and the blood that spewed out were sucked by the vortex in an instant, and disappeared without a trace.
Aya was also a little out of oil at this time, the whirlpool sucked, only to feel that the arm sank, and the sword in the stone was faintly showing signs of getting out of her hand, she hurriedly pulled back, but the whirlpool disappeared. When her physical strength was exhausted, her strength was empty, which suddenly caused a wave of disgust in her body, and her eyes were dark, and she wanted to fall.
But just as she was about to stagger, a pair of strong arms held her up.
"Yu De Aya, it's really right to bet everything on you."
Aya closed her eyes, feeling the warmth behind her, she didn't want to open them or speak, she just smiled faintly and mumbled.
"Alas, a sword kills a big thing, Aya, you really deserve to be the king of knights, you don't explain your domineering."
Listening to this obviously exaggerated and insincere compliment, Aya was a little angry and a little funny, but when it fell on her face, the smile was a little thicker.
"Hey, you used too much force just now, your hairstyle is a little messy, and the hair on your head is curled, otherwise I'll help you pull it out."
Aya opened her eyes suddenly, and her cold gaze was chilling: "If you dare to touch it, you will die." ”
"Damn, what kind of rule is this, could it be that this hair on your head is a reproductive organ like a flower, and I can't touch it yet??"
The two were laughing when a heavy voice interjected.
"You...... Who exactly? ”
Bedwell was covered in blood, and the oil was also dry, but she insisted on standing, her blood-stained eyes staring at Aya and the sword in the stone in her hand.
"Why is this sword in your hands, its original owner? What happened to His Majesty the Knight King? He's still alive, isn't he? You must know what to say."
The more Bedwell spoke, the more agitated he became, and under the emotional turmoil, his control over his body weakened a little, and several wounds ruptured, and blood flowed profusely.
"Holy, Bedwell, the top of your head is spurting blood like a whale."
Bedwell didn't seem to hear Wang Lu's exclamation, and his eyes were always locked on Aya.
"What's wrong with His Majesty the Knight King, please tell me"
Aya could barely face Bedwell's bloodshot eyes, and the emotion in her heart for this loyal knight was indescribable, but more than that, guilt.
If it weren't for her mistakes, how could Bretonia fall apart? Why did the good Knights of the Round Table kill each other? Why is the burden of protecting the bloodline of the dragon clan all on Bedwell alone? And, what can you say about the whereabouts of the Knight King?
"I, I beg you. Whether you are a descendant of Galahad or someone else, tell me, what is wrong with my king? He, where the hell is he? Bedwell's voice trembled with emotion, "I've always missed, I miss him. ”
Faced with this situation, Aya's heart was sour, and she finally couldn't hold it back, and opened her mouth slightly and said, "I......
"She's the daughter of the Knight King."
Wang Lu said coldly on the side, and then reached out and pressed Aya's shoulder, and the mana penetrated, so that she couldn't make a sound when her strength was exhausted.
"It's obvious, besides the daughter of the Knight King, who else can inherit the Sword of King Knight King's royal power? Who else but the daughter of the Knight King could understate the Faceless One? ”
Bedwell was shaken, and looked at Aya in disbelief, the daughter of the Knight King? His Majesty the Knight King left behind his descendants?
However, the more Bedwell looked, the more he felt that the girl in front of him had too many similarities with the former knight king who ruled Bretonia. The same blonde hair, the same deep eyes, although the color of the pupils is different, the heroism between the eyebrows is the same.
Then, the most important thing is her strength, although it is still immature compared to the legendary level of the Knight King, but the essence is almost identical, especially the sword that recalls the assassination of the Faceless One, it is full of the Knight King's style - even if it is a camouflage sneak attack, it looks dignified and handsome
After being silent for a long time, Bedwell was stunned: "Then, what about His Majesty the Knight King?" ”
Wang Lu said coldly: "What if you know the truth? Are you too tired for him? ”
Bedwell was shocked when he heard this, and his mind suddenly returned to the era of fighting under the command of the Knight King, to the era when after endless brilliance and glory, he took a sharp turn and fell gloomily. After a while, Bedwell burst into tears: "Yes, my subordinates are incompetent and ashamed, but I really want to know Lu Dao, Your Majesty is okay with him?" ”
Wang Lu said: "The man is still there, the will is still there, but all things in heaven and earth have their own reincarnation, he has done what he should do, and then he will leave it to his descendants, that is, his daughter." ”
Bedwell asked, "Your Majesty wants to ......?" ”
"Do you still need to ask? Exorcising the church and restoring the kingdom, of course. ”
Exorcising the Church and Restoring the Kingdom? There is so much to say in this short sentence. After more than 100 years of infiltration, the Church has long been deeply rooted in the land of Bretonia, and the faith of the Holy Light has almost replaced chivalry. How easy is it to expel the church?
However, this is the arrogant knight king who always seeks victory. If he succumbs to the power of the church, Bedwell will be disappointed.
"The last question, who are you?" Bedwell looked at Wang Lu seriously, from beginning to end, everything about Aya was told by him, but Aya herself did not speak, but there was not much resistance in her expression, obviously she trusted Wang Lu very much. But...... How can Wang Lu He De let the daughter of His Majesty the Knight King give him a heavy responsibility?
Wang Lu thought for a while, and said with a smile: "The city lord is really a noble person who forgets things, didn't I say it earlier, I am her face?"
