The harbor city of Pandora - in front of the temporary residence of King Pullen.
Nee was followed by several Praetorian Knights who hurriedly stood in front of the door carrying four boxes, and Ne knocked on the door a few times, and the voice of King Pullen came from inside.
"Come in."
Ni shook his head behind him, and several Praetorian Knights immediately carried the box in, and then Ni looked around vigilantly before following in. When he entered, he had not forgotten to close the door casually, and it seemed that his vigilance was very strong.
In the room, the Praetorian Knight put the box on the ground and stood quietly aside.
Nee walked in, and found that the small room was as simple as ever in the king's style, with a table, four chairs, plus a wooden bookcase and a bed, and nothing else. Compared to the glittering palace castles of other kings, King Pullen's residence was really shabby and pitiful.
However, King Pullen's character is a typical realist and pragmatist, and he would rather live in a house built on a haystack than spend all his money on the development of the facilities of the royal city, rather than decorate his palace with precious gold and jewelry.
In the past, some people also mentioned that they wanted to build a residence for King Pullen at least a little decent, but King Pullen glared at the other party fiercely and said, "Just a little more comfortable and forget the sadness and hard work of the past, your growth and brain cells are not as good as elementary school students!?" Something like that.
That time, King Pullen was really angry, forgetting the pain would only repeat the mistakes he had made, if he didn't always be vigilant and remind himself in peacetime, and never forget the painful and hard days of the past, then it was only a matter of time before the pain and misfortune came again, after all, this world is not gentle at all.
On the ground, all four chests were completely sealed, and several Janissary Knights stood next to one of them.
"King, the Iron Bureau has secretly created it according to your orders, and the thing is in the box, and it will be handed over to you now."
"Oh?" Tianxiang blinked in surprise and lifted his head from the mountain of Wen JiΓ n. Standing up, leaving his desk and walking in front of the Praetorian Guards, Tianxiang stared with interest at the four boxes that were quietly placed on the ground.
"I didn't expect the people in the Iron Bureau to get faster and faster...... I thought it would be a while. β
According to Wang's words, the new generation has grown up. The hundreds of apprentices in the Iron Tool have completed the initial stage of learning, and they can already build various standard weapons in the Pulen Royal City on their own. Our older generation of blacksmiths were able to free themselves from the increasingly heavy chores and focus more energy and energy on the development and testing of new weapons. Ni said with a smile.
"And rightfully so." Tianxiang said expressionlessly.
Nee smiled, he knew that the king had always been very emotionally dull in this regard, so he didn't say anything more. Order the four Praetorian Knights to lift the chest onto the table and open it.
With a click, the box was slowly opened.
Slowly, as the box was suddenly opened, a golden light suddenly flashed in the entire room, and the whole room was illuminated with golden light. But the light came and went quickly, and the light soon dimmed.
At this time, a holy sword made of gold was taken out of the box, although it was said to be a golden holy sword, but in fact, only the hilt and handle of the sword were made of gold, and although the blade part was not as expensive as gold, it was the highest crystallization of craftsmanship in the city of Pulun, and it was a hundred forged steel tempered thousands of times in three days and three nights by seven craftsmen.

Ni and the Janissary Knights looked at the Holy Sword with an almost obsessive gaze, all of them here were martial arts practitioners, and naturally they were the most sensitive to weapons. Coupled with the fact that this sword in front of them can be called the pinnacle of the sword artwork, it is really fascinating to them.
But at the same time, they were also thinking in their hearts that only this kind of weapon could be worthy of the king!
"Hmm...... Well built. β
Tianxiang glanced at it lightly and put the holy sword back in the box, his cold expression was like looking at a stone, and he didn't see any joy or excitement at all.
"Nee, seal this box. In a few days, arrange for our envoys to travel to London to give this sword in stone as a gift to King William II of England. β
Although he already knew the king's purpose, when he really wanted to send this superb weapon, Ni still felt a burst of pain in his flesh. However, the king's decision was unshakable and could not be questioned, and the king's decision, like his plan every step of the way, was never wrong, and all the people of the royal city of Puron unconditionally supported the king's will.
That being said, there are still many puzzling aspects of Wang's decision.
"King, are we really going to give away all four weapons here? Although I understand the king's plan, the king himself should have left a weapon anyway. For example, compared to the tyrannical king who lives in London, I think the real owner of this sword in the stone should belong to you. β
Tianxiang shook his head expressionlessly: "What a boring idea." In the end, this kind of thing is just an ordinary sword, but it just happens to fit some specific legends, and its gorgeous and majestic appearance has a demagogic effect. But don't forget that a sword is a sword after all, a person is always a person, the sword is just a tool to kill and achieve the goal, and only human beings themselves determine their ambitions. β
"Ireland, Wales, Scotland, England. A sword in a stone, a free longbow, a blue axe, and a lion spear. Each of these things corresponds to the weapons of the legendary heroes of these countries, the so-called weapons that are selected and chosen to be possessed. β
Ni nodded and said, "Yes, the Sword of the Selection King - Sword in the Stone." The free longbow of Rocius, the god of the forest, the Scottish legend of the Blue Axe, which can pacify the seas, and the lion spear, which has the power to kill with one blow at the end. These are all legendary weapons that have been handed down from the classical era of the British Isles. However, I still don't understand if these weapons created with the help of legends can really bring many benefits to our royal city of Puren. β
Tianxiang said: "Of course. Legend has it that in this era it is simply like an oracle of existence. No one will question its authenticity, let alone its existence. Because the present era is the age of theocracy, the era of papal rule. Even in the most developed and open part of the Italian peninsula, the minds of the majority of the population were deluded by the Holy See, and the fear of gods and gods far exceeded the respect of ordinary kings. β
"Although the worship of Christianity in the British Isles is far less fervent, the reverence for the gods is more than that. Especially when they witness certain so-called "miracles" and "miracles", their stupid brains, which have little knowledge to back them up, give up the ability to think and fall into a complete frenzy. β
"Speaking of which...... Nee, what do you think William II, the Lord of England, would be his first reaction if he got this sword in stone again? Tianxiang turned his head to look at Ni with a grim expression. "I'm afraid he'll be the first to fall victim to this sword." Complete fanaticism, carried away by the ecstasy of becoming the king of England and the pleasure of this unparalleled sword we have sent. He can't help but think that this qiΔ is all arranged by God, so that he is destined to become the king of England. β
"But will Wilhelm II really act the way we think? What if he questions where we got this sword? Ni asked, a little uneasy.
"Again, it's a very ignorant question."
Tianxiang shrugged, and then said, "The sword of legend naturally comes from legend. For example, I, the King of Pullen, accidentally angered the patron saint who guarded England by taking this harbor town that originally belonged to England, and he pointed me to some mysterious place in a dream. There is a lake in that mysterious place. As I walked to the lake in a daze, a hand suddenly appeared from the lake, still holding the sword in the stone. The Goddess of the Lake gave me the sword and ordered me to pay for our sins by sending it into the hands of the Chosen King. β
"Fearing the wrath of the gods, the King of Pullen carefully wrapped the sword and sent messengers to deliver it to the King of England overnight. And in order to show his sincerity, he also specially brought thirty high-quality weapons to Wilhelm II to arm his own guards. Then, after expressing our sincerity, we are willing to trade with England at the same time as this truce, such as weapons, salt, and other strategic materials that the English people urgently need at present, and we can give priority to the supply of the royal city of Pleon. But remember, we only sell but don't give, and we don't have to negotiate without money! β
"That's ...... Is it okay? Ny's eyes widened in surprise and asked.
