Chapter 918 The Saint Gard Empire, the last descendant of the royal family

……

Around the ancestral hall, there are ancient trees and lush forests, especially a few ancient cypresses, which are lush and green, and look full of old age.

The lover followed the village chief Putian through the cypress forest and came to the outside of this ancestral hall with a quiet and quiet environment.

"Benefactor, do you know the origin of our Taoyuan Village?" Walking to the front of the ancestral hall, the old man with the mulberry crutch suddenly stopped and asked his beloved.

"I don't know." Hearing the old man's question, the lover looked suspicious, but he still shook his head and replied honestly.

"Ask the benefactor this question, but it is old and abrupt." Putian, the village chief, twisted his beard and shook his head, "Actually, there is still a ......story behind the origin of our Taoyuan Village."

"Oh-" The lover said in a long voice, a look of curiosity on his face.

When discovering Taoyuan Village, an isolated and secluded mountain village, the lover also thought about the origin and origin of this village.

According to his understanding, it is nothing more than that the geographical location is too remote, and it is too difficult to communicate with the outside world, and unconsciously formed the current situation of seclusion and isolation.

Or maybe in ancient times, the ancestors of the villagers took the initiative to relocate to this small village in order to escape enemies and wars, and slowly lived a life of seclusion for generations.

Either way, because he still has to help Pokémon do training, the lover is not distracted to think about this issue deeply.

However, seeing that the old man took the initiative to mention it at this moment, the lover was very shrewd and felt that the origin of Taoyuan Village was probably not as simple as he thought.

"It was hundreds of years ago." The old man walked up the stairs with a pestle, sighing and falling into remembrance and reminiscence.

"About three or four hundred years ago, the continent under my feet was still divided and warned, and large and small kingdoms and principalities fought against each other."

"At that time, the most powerful empire on this continent was the Saint-Gard Empire, whose imperial capital was located in the city of Ourudron, and the history of the millennium."

"However, after thousands of years of development, the original highly centralized power of the Shenggard Empire, with the continuous expansion of the royal family, the territory is divided and the power is also weakened."

"In the end, after the 'Sword in the Stone' incident, in the face of the siege of the major kingdoms and principalities, the thousand-year-old rule of the Saint-Gad Empire was shaken."

"As the imperial capital of Orudron was about to be breached by the leader of the coalition forces, Arthur, a group of royal family members fled with a crown that symbolized the royal power of the empire."

"That team of royal family members is the ancestor of our Taoyuan Village." After speaking, the old man raised his head and looked at his beloved with blazing eyes.

"Shhh Uncle, you are the last descendant of the royal family of the Saint Gad Empire hundreds of years ago. ”

Although with the old man's narration, the lover had a faint guess in his heart, but when the other party said it, the lover's heart was still full of shock.

The villagers in this secluded mountain village in front of them, this village that did not even have a trainer, and was oppressed by a black mine merchant so that they had no power to resist.

It turned out to be the last descendant of the royal family of the Saint-Gard Empire hundreds of years ago.

The small ancestral hall in front of him, in the gloomy and damp woods, was dedicated to the royal family members left over from the Saint-Gad Empire hundreds of years ago.

I have to say that the contrast is too great, which is too shocking for a lover.

"This was all hundreds of years ago, the Saint-Gad Empire had long since fallen, and the royal family members who had taken refuge in the Higol Mountains had fallen into seclusion and intermarried with the guards."

"The royal family of the Saint Gad Empire no longer exists, and now we are just ordinary mountain people in Taoyuan Village."

"Regarding the origin of Taoyuan Village, although there are documents that have been handed down, this is only known to each village chief, and other villagers do not know."

"No one will remember an empire that has long since fallen and ceased to exist, whether it is me or anyone else."

"After the Jin Daqi incident, our Taoyuan Village has accepted the alliance's arrangement and is ready to relocate to the outside of the Higol Mountains to start a new life."

"Today I tell this story to my benefactor, and it will be the last time I will tell this story to anyone else."

"From now on, even if a new village chief is elected, this story will not be passed down again."

"From now on, there are no last descendants of the royal family of the Saint Gad Empire in this world, only ordinary villagers of Taoyuan Village." The old man stared at the dimly lit ancestral hall, and his tone was flat with a hint of determination.

"That's right." The lover nodded.

He understood that the old man in front of him wanted to get rid of the shackles of history attached to him, and then start a new life with his people.

Regarding the secret told to him by the old man, the lover also made up his mind to bury it in his heart and not tell anyone else.

The story of the "Sword in the Stone", the fuse for the fall of the St. Gard Empire.

When the lover was in the Rainbow City Library before, he also learned about it in a historical ancient book.

At the end of the Saint-Gad Empire, the power and influence of the vassal states grew larger, and the power and influence of the empire were constantly weakened.

The vassal states in the fiefdom began to stir up a move to break away from the control of the Saint-Gard Empire.

Some even want to destroy the original Saint-Gard Empire and replace it.

In the midst of the turmoil, whether by accident or man-made, the opportunity for the major kingdoms to rebel finally appeared.

When the last orthodox monarch of the Saint Gad Empire succeeded to the throne, he only received the approval of the Holy Crown.

And the sword in the stone, which is known as the token of power of the Holy Gard Empire together with the Holy Crown, Feng Huoyou has not been able to pull it out.

The royal family wants to cover up this time and let Feng Huoyou ascend to the throne smoothly, but I don't know if there is a sword in the stone or someone is secretly plotting.

Wearing the Holy Crown on his head and holding the sword in the stone, he left the castle in a luxurious car and went to the World Tree to perform the final ceremony of succession to the throne under the watchful eyes of the residents and nobles of the imperial capital.

The sword in the stone suddenly broke free from Feng Huoyou's hand and landed in the middle of the square of Ouludron City, and all the nobles and city residents who watched Prince Feng Huoyu perform the final ceremony were in an uproar.

The sword in the stone and the holy crown were handed down by the first king of the empire, Saint Guard, and the former was not only a symbol of royal power but also a weapon of Saint Guard.

The sword in the stone contains the will of St. Gad, and the sword in the stone is a token of the succession of kingship, and it is also a test.

If the heir to the throne is not recognized by the will of Saint Gad, there is no way to pull out the sword in the stone.

In the history books, it is said that this is a lie made up by the royal family of the Holy Gard Empire, but in fact, anyone can pull out the sword in the stone.

The reason why the royal family described it this way was to elevate their status and promote the descendants of the first king of their empire, St. Gard.

The reason why historians have such a judgment is that in the thousand-year-old history of the Saint-Gard Empire, there have been many wise monarchs.

But there are also many incompetent and brutal heirs to the throne.

However, at the succession ceremony, all of these people were approved by the will of St. Gad, and drew the sword in the stone, which symbolized the king's power.

In addition, in the process of inheriting the throne of the Saint Gad Empire, the characteristics of the sword in the stone were not used, and the heirs were selected from the princes from the beginning.

Therefore, except for the ignorant commoners, the upper nobles, the fiefdoms, and the people of the princely kingdoms did not believe that there was such a thing as the will of Saint Gad in the sword in the stone.

However, he didn't expect that at the succession ceremony of Feng Huoyou, the sword in the stone broke free from his hand and flew away under the watchful eyes of everyone.

This is an accident, you must know what the meaning of the sword in the stone is......
