Chapter 919 Old Man Gives Treasure, Wooden Box!!
The meaning of the sword in the stone is: "Whoever can pull this sword out of the stone platform and is born in St. Gad, he is the king of all the kingdom of St. Gad."
The sword in the stone containing the will of St. Gadde is a test for the royal family and can act as a spur.
The fact that the heir to the throne drew the sword in the stone and was recognized by the will of the Holy Guard made the commoners more determined to trust the king's rule.
It can be said that the rule of the Holy Gard Empire can last for thousands of years, and the legend of the sword in the stone has a very important part of the significance.
However, it was a token of royal power of such great significance that broke free from the hands of the heir to the throne during the succession ceremony.
This is undoubtedly a very straightforward declaration that the prince Feng Huoyou has not been recognized by the will of St. Gadd, and is not qualified to become the king of St. Gad.
And the sword in the stone is inserted in the center of the square of the city of Ourudlang, and whoever can pull out the sword in the stone will sit on the throne of the Saint-Gad Empire.
All the members of the royal family, the nobles of the city, and the inhabitants of the city went to the square of Ourudron to take part in the test, and there was no doubt that none of them drew the sword in the stone.
According to the records in the history books, it was a prince from England called Arthurphon who finally pulled out the sword in the stone empire.
Then according to the test of the sword in the stone and the will of St. Gad, the throne of the St. Gard Empire will be inherited by Arthur.
Perhaps the legend of the sword in the stone, as later historians judged, is just a lie that was written, directed, and acted by himself.
The royal family of the Saint Gad Empire will naturally not hand over the throne and be inherited by a feudal prince.
Of course, the rest of the fiefdoms did not need Arthur to inherit the throne of St. Gad.
All they wanted was a reason why the current members of the royal family of the Saint Gard Empire were not eligible to inherit the throne, a reason that would allow them to start a rebellion openly.
After the Sword in the Stone incident, the imperial royal family did not let Arthur, who drew the Sword in the Stone, inherit the throne.
The fiefdom kingdoms below also began to openly rebel against the rule of the royal family under the banner of implementing the will of St. Gad.
The division of the territory had already made St. Gad exist in name only, and in the face of the crusade of the major kingdoms and principalities, the St. Gad empire soon fell apart.
And then it happened that the old man in front of him described-
When the imperial capital of Oludron was breached by the coalition forces, the members of the royal family who gave up resistance fled from the vortex of power with another token of imperial kingship.
More than a dozen members of the royal family led a group of escorts to the depths of the Higol Mountains, which are now the Tsukimi Mountains.
Then retreat in this valley surrounded by mountains.
Perhaps the ancestors of the villagers of Taoyuan Village, that is, the group of royal family members who carried the crown of the token saint, also thought about making a comeback.
But in the end, it was clear what the general trend or some other reason made them.
Voluntarily renounce his status as a member of the royal family, intermarry with the guards and build a family, or be forced by force by the guards.
In short, in the end, the members of the royal family dismissed the decision to make a comeback, and then retreated in the valley.
The pines and cypresses in the valley are evergreen, but the world outside the mountains is constantly changing.
The feudal monarchy was overthrown, and feudal society transitioned to a modern and modern civilized society ruled by the Pokémon Alliance.
I don't know the sun in the mountains, but it has been in the world for hundreds of years.
The last descendant of the imperial royal family has become a simple and kind villager of Taoyuan Village.
The glory of the once empire, from the mouth of the old man in front of the beloved, has also become extraordinarily detached and prosaic, as if it has nothing to do with himself.
Yes, the glory of the predecessors only belongs to the predecessors, and the old people and villagers in front of them are looking forward to a new life after moving to the outside of the mountain.
"Our ancestors let go of their identities as royals and learned to live safely, and now that we have unloaded the burden of history, we believe that we will live better."
Looking at the simple wood carved tablets in the small ancestral hall, the old man thought as if he was relieved.
"I will let this story rot in my stomach, and no one will disturb your peaceful and stable life in the future, so please rest assured, uncle."
The lover looked at the old man who stopped at the door and did not put his legs into the ancestral hall for a long time, and the lover sighed and solemnly assured.
"Wherever, the old man is willing to tell this story to his benefactor, and he naturally trusts his benefactor in his heart."
Hearing the voice of his beloved, the old man's distant mind suddenly returned to the old rickety body.
Sang crutched the pestle, and the old man's tone was as respectful as ever.
"Letting the benefactor come to the ancestral hall today, in fact, the little old man has something that he wants to give to the benefactor."
Seeing that the beloved man was silent holding the dumb beast, he just looked curiously into the ancestral hall, and the old man smiled with his cane in both hands.
"Oh-" Hearing the old man's words, a look of interest appeared on the beloved's face.
"Benefactor, please come with me to the ancestral hall." The old man bowed down and made a 'please' gesture.
"Oh, okay." He didn't ask much, and followed the old man into the ancestral hall.
The ancestral hall is dimly lit, the air smells of incense ash, and all the furnishings look very historical.
The lover and the beast in his arms looked around curiously.
To their surprise, the ancient forest outside the ancestral hall was dark and damp, but the inside of the ancestral hall looked very dry.
Follow the old man to the inner hall, where there is a separate sacrificial room.
There are only 14 tablets at the back of the table, and behind the tablet in the middle of the top is a square object wrapped in a dark yellow cloth.
"Fathers and Fathers ......"
The old man knelt down on the cushion in front of the tablet, his expression solemn, and his mouth was full of words.
The lover and the dumb beast did not ask aloud, nor did they look around.
One person and one pet quietly waited for the old man to finish the worship ceremony, and then watched the old man take out the square burden behind the tablet above.
"Uncle, what is this?" Glancing at the noble and delicate pattern on the dark yellow cloth used as a wrap, the lover asked with some confusion.
The old man did not play dumb riddles with him, but put the burden on the offering table and opened it directly in front of his beloved.
"This is what our ancestors brought from the royal palace when they left the city of Ourudrang hundreds of years ago."
"We've been guarding it for hundreds of years, but it's of no use to us, and now we're moving out of the mountains and starting a new life."
"So the little old man thought, give this thing to the benefactor, maybe it will be of some use to the benefactor."
The old man untied the yellow cloth, revealing a richly carved square wooden box with a faint smell.
"Papa~" Without waiting for the lover to ask, the old man directly opened the small lock of the hidden buckle and let him see the contents of the box.
The dark agarwood box is lined with brocade, which unconsciously raises the price estimate of the contents of the box.
When the lover saw the contents of the box, his mouth opened wide in shock.
"It's ......"
