Chapter Ninety-Six: The Knights of the Round Table (4/5)
Even though he admitted Artoria's identity as the "king" from his heart, Artoria Xiao Mengran, a stranger of unknown origin, became the prime minister second only to the king, which still aroused the doubts of many knights. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Without waiting for them to object, Xiao Mengran snorted lightly and directly used the time enchantment to envelop half of the knights.
The rest of the knights were a little frightened when they looked at their companions motionless, and one of the brave knights curiously put his finger into the time enchantment, and then he was naturally frozen in time, which made the other knights break out in a cold sweat.
Obviously, it didn't take much effort for Xiao Mengyan to kill them.
When the time barrier ended, all the knights were silent and did not dare to raise any objections.
For simple knights, whoever has the biggest fist is the boss, since Xiao Mengran is far stronger than them, his status should be higher than them.
Seeing the knights' sincere fear, Artoria's giggles were as crisp as silver bells in the wind: "Look at what scares you, in fact, Mr. Merlin is very kind and easy to talk. ”
The knights all nodded yes, but thought in their hearts: "Look at this person who doesn't want to enter, the air next to him is so cold that it's about to freeze, it's kind, lie to the ghost." ”
After this little episode, the knights quickly got used to the taciturn Xiao Mengran, so everyone discussed the Round Table Knights meeting.
The highest knights are called the Knights of the Round Table, and they can be said to be theoretically equal to the Knight King, and the Knight King usually has to sit around them around a round table for any matter.
The round table, which symbolized the supreme power, had twelve seats, and the Knight King must have had one.
So the other knights quarreled fiercely one by one for the remaining seats, and no one obeyed anyone, but fortunately, with Xiao Mengran's deterrence, they didn't dare to fight in the palace.
So the solemn palace immediately became as noisy as the vegetable market, and the noble knights and lords on weekdays quarreled and scolded one by one, and those foul words were dwarfed even by the aunts of the vegetable market.
Looking at the noisy knights, Artoria was also a little helpless, so she leaned over and asked in Xiao Mengran's ear, "Teacher Merlin, what should I do now?" ”
Hearing Artoria's words, Xiao Mengran stretched out her white and beautiful right hand, and gently waved it from top to bottom, everyone remained motionless as if the pause button had been pressed, and the noisy palace meeting hall became silent in an instant.
Nodding with satisfaction, Xiao Mengran lifted the time standstill, and at this time, the knights could no longer see the previous roughness, and they all stood in the hall solemnly as if they were no longer standard knights, and they didn't dare to breathe.
Seeing that everyone was quiet, Xiao Mengran said softly: "I think if you want to become a knight of the round table, you must first be strong, at least you should have the strength of a knight rank." ”
Hearing Xiao Mengran's words, the knights all nodded in agreement, but the problem still exists, you must know that there are more than thirty people in the knight hall even in the knight rank, not to mention the few knight instructors who close their eyes and recuperate.
Next, Xiao Mengran continued: "The second is that he needs to get at least three Knight Captains and a Knight Mentor to recognize him as a Knight of the Round Table, if the Knights of the Round Table quota is full, he can choose a Knight of the Round Table to challenge, and the winner will be judged by Artoria whether he is eligible to become a Knight of the Round Table. ”
"Finally, the age of the Knights of the Round Table must not be higher than forty years old, and the Knights of the Round Table above forty years old will automatically step down."
"Do you have any comments?"
Hearing Xiao Mengran's regulations, all the knights, you look at me, I look at you, and finally nodded and agreed to Xiao Mengran's regulations.
Although the knights of the Round Table must not be taller than forty years old, the knights who can stand here are all from great nobles, and for their families, as long as they spend resources, they can also pile up knights in their thirties, compared to the power of the Knights of the Round Table, that consumption is simply not worth mentioning.
What really bothered them was the first two rules, but for the knights, these rules were already fair and just, so naturally they had no opinion.
Although those knight mentors can't become knights of the round table because of their age, they don't care about these things at this point, they still hope for the rise and fall of the family.
And these regulations have an incomparably huge advantage for them, for them as knight mentors, as long as the juniors of the family or their own disciples can compete to break through the knight chief early, they will naturally agree.
As for Artoria, they can't see that the Maiden Knight King is basically very easy to convince, and she is probably the easiest test.
Since everyone had no opinion, the selection criteria for the Knights of the Round Table were decided.
After that, Xiao Mengran continued to stand next to him like a statue and said nothing, of course, everyone, including those knight mentors, didn't dare to despise him in the slightest.
Artoria was about to announce that the end of the day had come to an end after discussing some small matter with them, when suddenly a knight ran in from outside the palace.
Looking at the people in the hall, the knight was a little restless: "Oh no, there is a plague outbreak in Ireland, many people have become crazy for some reason, they bite people when they see them, and those who are bitten by them will become the same as them after a short time, and tens of thousands of people have been infected with this plague, and even several knights have been infected." ”
Hearing his words, the faces of all the knights changed drastically, and for everyone who could be said to be still in the Dark Ages at this time, the plague was undoubtedly one of the greatest threats.
Seeing the serious faces of the knights, Artoria also realized the seriousness of the situation.
Hearing the knight's description, Xiao Mengran's face was a little strange, so he asked, "Do these people have any specific manifestations and characteristics?" ”
Seeing Xiao Mengran's strange appearance, the knight looked at a knight chief in surprise, and the knight chief coughed lightly and signaled him to answer quickly.
After receiving the knight's signal, the knight said: "The plague-infected people have almost no reason, their eyes are blood-red, and their skin will have a green moss-like thing, they do not need to eat or rest, but they are full of thirst for fresh human flesh. ”
As if remembering something terrible, the knight shuddered.
