Chapter 463: Holding the Sword as King (Part 2)
When the group came to us, we felt a huge sense of oppression, I don't know if it was because the other party was tall and strong, or their equipment was extremely majestic, and it was hard to explain.
The leader raised his sword, pointed at us and asked, "Who are you and what are you doing here!?" ”
I blurted out, "Lost here, bothered." ”
"Lost?" He turned his head to look at the exit of the labyrinth, "That's a labyrinth set up by my king, and no one has ever been able to pass through it. ”
"Please, it's the twenty-first century now, how can a mere maze stump us?" I scoffed.
"Presumptuous!" The other party was slightly angry, "We are squatting here just to prevent outsiders from invading, and say, who sent you!?" ”
"Your king sent us." I swore and turned to look at Koji, "Right?" ”
Haoji reacted and said continuously: "Yes, yes, I have already seen your king just now, is he wearing a golden armor, a crown, and ...... Cloak and Holy Sword!? ”
"The image of my king is well known, and I am afraid that this alone is not an excuse, right?" The other party still didn't give up, and the others behind him had all drawn their swords, intending to fight us.
"Holy Sword!" Koji suddenly pointed to the moat in front of him, "His Majesty King Arthur's holy sword is right down here, I accidentally fell into the river just now!" ”
"Seeing the holy sword is like seeing my king, don't talk nonsense you little ghost!"
"If you don't believe you, you can send someone down to find it!" Haoji looked confident, "If not, let it be disposed of!" ”
The other man nodded to the man beside him, and after the man understood, he jumped off the horse, and went straight to the point of Koji, and after removing his armor, a handsome young white man jumped into the river with a "poof".
Time passed minute by minute, but I didn't see him surface, I silently said, "He can't be drowned, right?" ”
All the people in armor burst into laughter, and the leader laughed and said, "Jack is the best in the water we have here, and he will only die on the battlefield, but he will not be drowned." ”
Suddenly, the jack sprang out of the water, took a few big breaths, and shook his head at his boss.
"How is that possible!?" Koji was shocked, "I obviously fell from here just now!" ”
As he spoke, he hurried to the shore, stretched out his hand and fished in the water for a long time, panicking as if he had gone crazy.
Actually, he doesn't have to be like this, the other party is just some guys with backward cold weapons, although they seem to be very high, if they really fight, they are not our opponents at all.
It seems that it still has to be solved by force, Brother Feng has begun to quietly operate the bracelet, of course, I am the same.
At this time, a strange scene happened, bubbles appeared on the water that Haosi was facing, and everyone watched with bated breath, including Jack, who was putting on his armor again on the shore.
Suddenly, a silver sword was pushed out of the water by a dense school of fish, and Koji was so surprised that he grabbed the hilt of the sword and raised it high in his hand - the holy sword Excalibur!
The knights were stunned, looked at each other, dismounted, and shouted, "Long live my king!" ”
At the same time, Muzi and Hunger appeared out of nowhere, and Hunger also had a smug smile on his face.
The school of fish just now...... I seem to understand something, isn't Hunger's housekeeping skill just controlling animals!?
Later, I learned that when I was discussing with Muzi how to break through the barrier, Hunger had already felt a strange reaction from the birds in the jungle, which was of course caused by the powerful Knights of the Round Table, so he silently broke away from the group and went there alone to investigate the situation.
And Muzi, after finding Hunger, secretly followed the group of people with him, and finally returned here.
As for the transfer of the position of the holy sword, it is also Hunger's masterpiece, he knows the legend that King Arthur got the holy sword, so in this way, it can make people mistakenly think that Haoji is the one chosen by God, artificially increasing the sense of sacredness.
The current leader of the Order is called Geraint, one of the last remaining survivors of the Knights of the Round Table, and the reason why he has remained at Fort Gladstone is because of the last order given to him by King Arthur.
Of course, this is to mention the cursed labyrinth, the holy sword is a Kundi divine tree, naturally has the power to change the form of the underground, although King Arthur does not have the power of the martial god, but has the help of a certain tribe of the Fertile Country, the high priest, that is, the fairy who later sent the sword to Arthur from the lake in the legend.
The High Priest used the mysterious power from the Fertile Country to activate part of the Holy Sword's role as the Kundi Divine Tree, turning the only way to the castle into a labyrinth, which saved the last base and living force of the Arthurian Dynasty from being completely wiped out by the rebels.
As for King Arthur himself, from time to time he would lead ten members of the Knights of the Round Table to go through the labyrinth to find out the enemy's movements, intending to make a comeback, and never came back until the last time.
Hundreds of years later, a member of the Order of Knights named Joseph returned to the castle, and of course, this Joseph was not Joseph.
It is said that when he returned with the Holy Grail and was seriously wounded, he still shouted before his death: "My king's long-cherished wish has finally been fulfilled!" ”
Being able to live for hundreds of years shows that Joseph has also used the power of the Holy Grail. And he was the one who succeeded in stealing this sacred relic from Fernand in Marseille, France.
Looking at the current Hosi, it seems that these Knights of the Round Table have been enshrined as the new king, so Geraint also knows everything about us.
And the reason why the drawbridge was lowered for us was that the old and weak soldiers stationed in the castle refused to show up, and it was entirely out of dependence on the enchantment generated by the Holy Grail.
Relying on enchantments for defense and knights for expeditions has been the norm at Fort Glaston.
It is worth noting that time here seems to be passing slowly, so Geraint and they have been able to live until now, not because of the Holy Grail, but because of the actual thousands of years, for them only experienced a thousand days.
Heaven and earth for a year, this setting, which used to only appear in mythological stories, actually exists, which can't help but make me sigh, it can really be described as the world's greatness.
In Geraint's words, this was due to the great power of the high priest, but when we asked him where he was, he simply replied: "When my king no longer returns, the high priest is gone, and she comes and goes with my king." ”
Anyway, since one day here is equivalent to a year outside the labyrinth, we need to hurry, and the amount of time we've been here is equivalent to months outside!
