Chapter Ninety-Three: The Script That Was Written, The Fate That Was Decided (1/5)
At this time, a young knight who appeared to be from a noble family questioned: "Why can't we pull it out, but you pull out this sword in the stone without any effort?" So I hope you can plug this sword in the stone back and let's try again. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
Artoria saw the skepticism in the eyes of most of the knights and knew that it would be impossible for them to admit the result if she didn't do it, so she nodded lightly and said, "So be it, I'll follow this... ”
With that, Artoria winked at the young knight with her big beautiful eyes and motioned for her to say her name.
Seeing Artoria's movements, the young knight puffed up his chest and held his head high and said proudly, "My name is Bedwell. ”
Nodding, Artoria continued, "I'll stick the sword back in the stone as the knight of Bedwell said, and then I'll pull her out when you all try it again." ”
With that, she slowly inserted the sword in the stone back into the boulder, and then made a gesture to all the knights, and stood quietly aside.
So knights, you look at me, I look at you, and finally Bedwell stood up and said, "Just let me try it first." ”
As soon as the words fell, Bedwell's body turned into an illusion, and in an instant, he came to the side of the sword in the stone.
After taking a deep breath, Bedwell summoned the magic power of his whole body to increase his strength, and then held the unpretentious hilt of the sword tightly.
Cracks like spiderwebs spread from the stone slab beneath the Bedwell Knight's feet, and everyone could feel how much strength the young man of the Great Knight rank had used.
But this huge force fell on the ordinary hilt of the sword, but it did not react like a mud cow entering the sea, and the sword in the stone was still stuck in the boulder without moving.
Bedwell let go of his hands that had been clenched on the hilt of his sword and were bruised by the exertion, and then he knelt down on one knee and bowed his head respectfully and said, "From now on, I will be loyal to you, and I will be your most loyal knight." ”
Artoria calmly accepted Bedwell's courtesy of allegiance to her, then lifted him up and said, "I will lead you to victory." ”
After that, the unwilling knights tried again, but at most they were not knights, and they undoubtedly failed.
If you want to pull out the sword in the stone, you must either have the blood of King Yuser, or you can only be a knight model, that is, a demigod-level powerhouse.
So, in the end, when all the knights tried again to no avail, under their complicated gaze, Artoria walked step by step in front of the sword in the stone.
Gripping the ordinary hilt of the sword, Artoria pulled the sword of the stone out of the boulder little by little.
Unlike the last time, Artoria's movements were extremely slow this time, and at the same time, as the sword in the stone was drawn little by little, the golden dazzling light shrouded the snowy sword body.
When Artoria finally pulled out the sword in the stone, the sword in the stone that was held high in the air emitted countless golden rays like the sun.
Looking at Artoria, who was incomparably majestic and holy at this moment, all the knights knelt on one knee and said fanatically: "King Arthur, King of kings, you will be invincible, and Britain will be incomparably powerful under your rule." ”
With their movements and words, countless golden points of light slowly converged from their bodies, from distant and unknown places, to the sword body.
In the end, the sword in the stone that appeared in front of everyone no longer had its usual appearance, the golden sword body was incomparably majestic and sacred, and the power of faith shrouded in it made this sword upgrade to a holy sword.
Raising the golden sword in her hand high, Artoria was affected by the atmosphere and announced in a loud voice: "This body is called King Arthur, this sword is called the Golden Sword of Victory, God bless Britain!" ”
And so, a tidal wave of cheers lingered above the royal capital: "Wan Sheng, King Arthur, Wan Sheng, Britannia!! ”
In mid-air, Xiao Mengran sighed helplessly after seeing this scene: "So, is this fate?" ”
Looking at the cheering crowd on the ground, Xiao Mengran thought of the suicide note that Artoria had shown him, King Yusher, who had left the maiden knight.
"My child, by the time you read this letter, I had already traveled to the realm of eternal souls, and you must have grown up."
"As a father, I hope that you can grow up like an ordinary girl and live an ordinary life. But as the king of Britain, I have to arrange for you, my only child, to inherit my throne and become the king of knights. ”
"Ordinary people will only see the supreme power and glory of that throne, but for me, who has sat on that throne for more than 20 years, although there is power and glory, it is more of a responsibility and heavy pressure."
"The king was burdened with the expectations of the people and the trust of his courtiers, and that expectation and trust were too heavy. For you, who are just a teenage girl, there is no doubt that the crown is too heavy, and I am undoubtedly cruel to hand over the crown to you. ”
"But I have nothing else to do, and when you were born, the magician told me that you would be crowned king, and that you would be the greatest king of Britain. Even if I don't believe the prophecy, the purity of your blood tells me about your potential. ”
"So I can only choose to let you grow up as an ordinary girl, this is my love as a father. And then I had to design everything so that you could be crowned king, which is my responsibility as a king. Britain needs a strong king, and without a strong king, everyone will be in disarray, and they will be in constant dissension. ”
"Finally, you look a lot like your mother, and I love her and I love you. It's just a pity that I'm not physically fit enough to see the day you are crowned king. ”
Behind the letter, King Yuser wrote many other things, and after reading it, Xiao Mengran had to praise King Yuser's wisdom and grasp of people's hearts.
Just like Bedwell, he was originally an absolutely loyal knight that King Yuser had trained for Artoria, and then he deliberately asked Bedwell to question it to convince the other knights.
It can only be said that King Yuser paved the way for Artoria long before his death, just like the most brilliant director, he arranged the plot and supporting roles early, and when Artoria arrived, everything would fall into place.
Xiao Mengran can't change all this, because he must ensure that Artoria can become a Saber, and in order to become a Saber, she must first become King Arthur.
