Chapter 436: The Legend of the Knight King (9) The Knights and Marriage

By the time Arthur formed the Knights of the Round Table in the Academy, a new storm was brewing in the East Coast.

In the year 1667 of the Great Calendar, in the year of Arthur's return, the 14th king of the Malden dynasty of Laventica, Angwu VI, sent an envoy to Sharo, demanding in an extremely stern tone that Sharo give up all resistance and become his vassal, otherwise there would be no trouble.

Faced with such a severe threat, the 27th king of the Aragon dynasty of Sharo, Shiromo VIII, firmly refused, claiming that if Laventika dared to attack, Sharo would resist to the end.

And inside the court, Shiromo VIII said to the courtiers: "Laventika is menacing this time, don't forget what happened to Hanmador, let us become his vassal state is fake, I'm afraid that annexing us is the real thing." ”

After being rejected by Shi Luo Mo VIII, the Sha Luo envoy did not immediately react aggressively, but said to Shi Luo Mo VIII in a cold voice: "Since Your Excellency has rejected Raventika's kindness, then you can do it yourself, remember that La Ventica is not so easy to refuse!"

A mere envoy dared to drag him like this, and a palace minister couldn't bear it anymore, so he jumped out and asked: "This is the envoy taught by His Majesty King Angwu VI?

The envoy continued to hold his head high, because he knew that as a diplomatic envoy, he was protected by the gods, and Raventica was not afraid of foreign attacks, so he was fearless: "Hmph, Laventica has a vast territory, spanning thousands of miles, from Hamador in the north to Polly in the south, all of them are subjugated to the feet of Laventica, and we naturally have the qualifications to be arrogant!"

When the envoy left with his head held high, Shi Luomo VIII's face was cloudy, and he turned to the palace minister next to him and said, "Start preparing, it is not far from the outbreak of the third East Coast War." ”

The country of Salo was already gloomy, but Gosamore, which did not border Laventica to the north, was still in the spring and sunny, and the most discussed topic among the officials was the preparation of King Liao Dekuan II to move the capital, and Arthur was thinking about the most correct issue at this time, which was the matter of running the Knights of the Round Table.

How can I join Arthur's Knights of the Round Table? The process is very simple, and you can afford to draw the sword in the stone that Arthur has inserted in the stone. However, it is such a simple rule, but there are very few people who can do it, until Arthur graduates, and there are only 13 Knights of the Round Table outside of him.

When Arthur graduated, he rightfully won the crown of best graduate, but Arthur's attention was not here, he hoped to train more knights with the Knights of the Round Table.

Knights need to have the eight virtues, but Arthur himself trained them for 2 years, but they have not been able to achieve this goal, they are like Merlin's mentor, some virtues are outstanding, but they cannot have all the eight virtues.

In distress, Arthur used the Magic Mirror to call out to Merlin for the first time.

"Oh, my proud student, do you know what you've done?" Leng Yi, who was summoned, couldn't believe it, but still played Merlin according to his work ethic, "You only have three chances to summon me with the magic mirror, and you've used it once now." ”

Arthur bowed respectfully and replied, "Dear Mentor Merlin, I firmly believe that a knight will overcome all difficulties, and the immediate setbacks are only temporary, so I will not summon you because of the difficulties in my own career." However, the difficulties of the mind are more difficult to overcome than the actual difficulties, and I can only solve the doubts by calling on you. ”

Leng Yi shouted in his heart, "Who do you ask me, how will I know", while continuing to maintain the smile of the wise man on his face, he nodded: "You just ask." ”

"As you can see, under the reminder of the Magic Mirror, I formed the Knights of the Round Table to gather the nobles of high moral character, but I spent 2 years mentoring them, but I was unable to produce a new knight. I have a clear understanding of their character, they are all first-class good people, but even they are difficult to become knights, how can I be good?"

Leng Yi immediately paused time, wrote Arthur's question on a piece of paper, thought about it a few times before writing the answer, and after making some modifications, he returned to the time, looked at Arthur with the kind face of a wise man and said:

"Arthur, do you know why you were chosen by the god of the sky, because your character is more noble than everyone else, and you are a natural knight seed, but here you have made a mistake, you can't take your situation to others, otherwise why doesn't the god of the sky come to you?"

Arthur's so-called "stupidity" is just the stupidity that comes out of the face of some conventions and practices of the aristocratic class, but in terms of normal IQ, Arthur is extremely smart, otherwise Leng Yi would not have chosen Arthur.

Therefore, when Leng Yi clicked here, Arthur already knew, so he thanked Leng Yi: "Master Merlin, your wisdom is as vast as the sky. ”

The next day, Arthur summoned 12 Knights of the Round Table and announced to them that the rules of the Order would be changed: "It would be best if you could have all eight virtues like me, but the current facts tell me that it will not be possible in at least two years." ”

When Arthur's friends heard this, they bowed their heads in frustration, but Arthur's next sentence made them happy again: "But even so, you are the noblest among the nobles, and you all possess more than four virtues, so I have decided to confer on you the title of knight." ”

"Isn't it required to master the Eight Virtues?" asked a Knight of the Round Table, to which Arthur replied in the negative, "It would be best to master the Eight Virtues, but the truth is that no. Nowadays, the morality of this society is very low, so we can only temporarily lower the scale of knights, and then improve the judgment of knights after the moral standard is raised. ”

Then, Arthur concluded: "Therefore I have also made an adjustment, as long as you can master at least four virtues, you can become a noble knight, so you will all be awarded the title of knight." ”

The audience cheered.

After the cheers, Arthur issued a new directive, asking each knight to find their knight servant and train him as a reserve knight: "However, a knight also needs to master at least one virtue, and after he follows the knight's words and deeds and masters the four virtues, he can be transformed into a full-fledged knight." ”

In the end, Arthur drew a beautiful blueprint for the Knights: "We must develop as many people as possible into knights, if every nobleman becomes a knight, and even the king becomes a knight, then the moral standard of society will be raised, the ugly phenomenon will disappear, and all people will live a happy life under the protection of knights!"

The applause was thunderous, and the 12 young people who had just become official knights were applauding Arthur's blueprint, they were so young that they could be touched by Arthur's ideals, and really believed that when all the nobles were knights, the world would enter a happy world.

King Arthur's Biography, Chapter 9, The Beautiful Princess (excerpt)

“...... And just like that, King Arthur, with everyone's blessings, graduated from the academy......"

“...... Seeing that his uncle Chakju IV had mentioned that he wanted to pass on the position of Grand Duke to him, Arthur had to find another excuse again, so he said: "Dear uncle, I understand your wishes, and I will not break my promise, but there are so many Grand Dukes of the Merochou family from ancient times to the present, and none of them have obtained the position of Grand Duke without marriage! ’”

"Chakju IV smiled and said, 'You are right, a man like you should marry the most beautiful woman in the world to be your wife, so that he can be worthy of your looks and talents,' and Chakju IV was in distress, "but where can you find such a woman?"

Arthur thought for a moment and replied, 'I don't know, but I know someone must know.......'"

“...... Tutor Merlin stroked his beard and pondered for a long time, and then cast a mysterious magic with the help of the magic mirror, and then came to a conclusion: "Ask which woman in the world is the most beautiful, noble, and intelligent, and it should be the most favored daughter of King Liao Dekuan II today, Gnievele." ’”

“...... As soon as he heard that Arthur actually wanted to marry his daughter, Liao Dekuan II shook his head like a rattle: 'That's not good, my daughter is going to dedicate his life to the god of the sky, even if you are a member of the Merochu family, you can't marry my daughter!'"

“...... With the help of the beautiful Princess Gnevel, King Arthur uncovered the conspiracy of the traitors, so at the celebration banquet, King Arthur once again asked Liao Dekuan II to marry Princess Gnevel, and this time Liao Dekuan II did not immediately and resolutely refuse as he did last time. ”

"Liao Dekuan II sighed: 'Alas, I have innumerable jewels, why do you choose the most beautiful pearl of Gosamodo? ’”

"Liao Dekuan II sighed and hesitated for a long time before replying: 'It is not impossible for you to marry Gniver, the most beautiful pearl of Gosamodo. I've heard that Merlin accomplished three impossible tasks to take you away, and now you can complete the other three? ’”

King Arthur's Biography, Chapter 10: The Ordeal of the Wedding (excerpt)

“...... Seeing that King Arthur had accomplished these three difficult things, Liao Dekuan II was amazed, but he couldn't do anything, so he said, "You can accomplish those three things because of the help of Gnevel, Merlin, Gawain, and your artifact, without which you would certainly not be able to accomplish." ’”

"'But the honorable king, I have done all these things, do you want to break the promise of the nobles?'"

Hearing this, Liao Dekuan II made a bitter face, because the nobles were the most committed people, especially Liao Dekuan, who was the king, and he couldn't break his promise, but Liao Dekuan II still had an idea:"

"'Well, then, I will hide Princess Gnevelle in the labyrinth beneath King Eminem's Palace, and you must bring the princess out before dawn without any outside help, relying only on your own wisdom, and if you can do it, I will marry Gnevael to you. ’”

“...... Before dawn, King Arthur finally walked out of the labyrinth with Gnevere, and when he saw the two people who had gone through the ordeal, the servants around him couldn't help but applaud, and even Liao Dekuan II couldn't help but praise King Arthur: "Being able to do these impossible things shows that Gnevere really should marry you." ’”
