The Holy Church of the Kingdom, which is also one of the few magnificent buildings in this kingdom, is erected in the northern area of Lundy Newman City, which is also an area where rich and noble people live, and the church is located on the border of the northern district, so there are many commoners who come here.

But today is different, even though the sky is still gray, and the crescent moon still hangs high in the sky, but the glimmer of light revealed by the eastern cloud boundary tells people that although darkness still hangs over the earth, the light is about to tear through the reign of darkness and come into this world.

How quiet the city of Rundy Newman was at this time, the aristocratic lords were still sleeping soundly in their warm and comfortable beds, and the ordinary people were also sleeping with their families in their arms, and perhaps some industrious traders had already begun to prepare for today's work early.

But today, all the people no longer covet the warm bedding of their beds, whether they are nobles, or commoners, hawkers, or guards, who have been patrolling all night, they all spontaneously gather around the Holy Church, and they stand quietly by the side of the road maintained by the guards, just silently waiting for the selection of a new king.

Any nobleman who had a fair game came with his knights, who gathered in the courtyard of the church, led by the clergy, and a little further on, the Holy Sepulchre. Everyone could see that there was a huge stone in the middle of the Holy Sepulchre, and a richly decorated cross sword was inserted in it, and under the light of the surrounding torches, it flashed with a dazzling light, and a dozen sword knights stood motionless beside it, and the long sword in their hands flashed with cold light, making people dare not think otherwise.

Merlin and the bishop stood quietly in front, and when they saw that everyone had arrived, they looked at each other, and the bishop took a step forward and announced to all the nobles and knights, "Begin, you can send someone to try to draw this sword, and whoever pulls it out should be my king of Great Britain." ”

After hearing this, the fire in the eyes of all the nobles and knights on the spot was about to gush out, this was the closest opportunity they had to the throne. If you draw this sword, they will be the king of Great Britain, whether you were just a knight or a small nobleman, at this moment, no matter how high or low you are, everyone is on the same starting line.

But it was clear that this opportunity was placed in front of everyone like this, but at this time, no one stepped forward to draw the sword, which made Charles, who was standing with Artoria and Kai on the side, shake his head speechlessly. The powerful nobles and lords, who think they have a noble status, do not want to strike first, in their hearts, this is like playing monkeys for others to see, but those small nobles see that those big people are standing in front of them and do not make a move, they don't have the courage to pull out their swords, it's okay, if they can't pull it out, it will be arrogant, which will cause them to be unsafe, and they will be sad in the future.

The strange atmosphere lasted for a moment, and a strong, tall knight could not hold back, and he patted the man in front of him, his thick body brought a mountain of pressure, making a small nobleman standing in front of him cower and give way to the side.

Seeing someone come out, those nobles were slightly relieved in their hearts, and they all made way for the knight, although the knight was impulsive but not stupid, he stood up just because everyone didn't understand and made him feel bored, as for pulling out the sword, he just had the idea of giving it a try in his heart, and he didn't want to aspire to that position, so he didn't dare to offend the nobles standing in front of him, and walked to the sword knight with a slight bow.

"Then, Mr. Knight, please follow this path." When the sword knight saw that everyone was standing behind him and did not come forward, he stretched out his hand and said to the knight.

The knight did not shirk, and walked directly up to the altar along the path guarded by the sword knights on both sides, and stood in front of the sword of the chosen king. The corners of the knight's mouth twitched slightly before looking at this cross sword decorated with various precious stones, and it seemed to him that this sword was only half inserted into the stone, and it was obvious that when the wind blew, the long sword would shake, indicating that it was not firmly inserted, so he felt that he would break away from the stone and be wielded by his own hands just by gently pulling this sword.

But when he grasped the hilt of his sword with his hand in full view of everyone, the knight suddenly seemed to be not as simple as he had imagined, and the muscles on his bare arms swelled violently like iron lumps, making everyone below worry about whether the garment could hold up. But even though the knight was so hard that his face was flushed, the sword stood firmly in the boulder, and no matter how hard the knight tried, there was no sign that it would be pulled out.

This also made the nobles and knights who could see clearly below understand that this was definitely not something that could be pulled out by strength, because looking at the strong body of the knight above, everyone below did not dare to say that their strength could far surpass him except for a few people. So it is clear to everyone that this sword really can't be pulled out except for the destined person.

As for whether Merlin did any small action in it, none of the people below thought about it, and Charles, who has been in this world for five years, knows very well that in this world, no one dares to deceive in the name of the gods, and no one dares to offend the gods.

At last the knight gave up, and he wryly smiled and gasped violently, even though he had used the strength of milk, and the sword that seemed to be just stuck in the stone had no intention of shaking. After the knight stepped down from the altar, the people below saw that someone had already stepped forward, and they all tried to come up and pull out the sword in the stone.

It is a pity that neither the knights nor the nobles of high status have fallen in front of the sword of the king, and no one can pull out the sword, not even make the sword shake in the slightest.

As time passed, all the people standing in the courtyard came forward to try it, but none of them drew the sword. People who were still lucky or ambitious for the throne had a look of pity and disappointment and chagrin on their faces at this time, and Ryan's eyes were even more angry.

In Ryan's opinion, the throne of Great Britain belongs to him, and no one can snatch it from his own hands, but when he tried it just now, he found that he was no different from the others. In his opinion, he should use his force casually, and this sword of choosing a king should be raised high by himself, and then he will be recognized by everyone and become the king of Great Britain, which is the fate he should have.

Kai, who was standing next to Charles, also stepped forward to try it, but he was not interested in this throne, and he didn't look disappointed at all that he didn't pull out this sword, but when he returned to Charles, he said to Artoria, what is this sword so beautiful, but unfortunately it has no actual combat value at all. This made Artoria and Charles, who knew the meaning of this sword, couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook their heads, the meaning of this sword has always been the value on the battlefield, but the power and status that this sword represents.

After all the attempts failed, the people below began to talk to each other, and they began to wonder if it was the fate of the king of Great Britain who did not come here, but it was clear that most of the knights and nobles were here, and they did not doubt at all that the sword could not be drawn at all.

While everyone was discussing, Charles and Merlin, who was standing next to the altar, glanced at each other, and after seeing Merlin nodding slightly, Charles turned his head to look at Artoria beside him.

"Artoria, it's your turn, go and draw that sword."

Artoria nodded and didn't say anything, just walked calmly through the crowd to the altar. Out of the corner of his eye, Ryans, who was in a rage, suddenly noticed that a young man next to Charles walked to the altar, which made him regain a little calm, as if he had thought of something, he glanced at Charles and Merlin with a hint of inexplicability.

Charles also led Kai to Merlin and Duke Ector as Artoria walked through the crowd, and after the three of them looked at each other, they turned to look at the young girl who was standing in front of the altar, and they both knew in their hearts that perhaps the most important moment in the history of Great Britain was coming, and a new era was about to be opened by the young girl herself.
