Chapter 21 The years are like quicksand and the election of the king begins
In the secluded and dense woods, a ray of afternoon sunlight shines through the cracks, and the colorful sunlight shines brightly on the green leaves.
A little girl in her thirteenth or fourteenth year-olds, dressed in plain men's clothes, was practicing swordsmanship, her long untied hair fluttering with the movements. The divine blue eyes revealed incomparable perseverance and solemnity, and a drop of sweat slowly slid down her baby-like soft skin, reflecting the sun, shining with crystal light. The colorful light sprinkled on her golden hair, beautiful facial features, and weak and petite body, rising with a faint brilliance, which looked so dreamlike.
The girl's swordsmanship is as neat as a textbook, every movement, every swing, it seems so rigorous and serious. All her attention at this moment was focused on the giant sword in her hand, her eyes staring closely at the waving giant sword without a trace of deviation, as if nothing in the world could no longer arouse her interest.
The girl is Artoria, and three years have passed since then.
She did not know what had happened to her after she lost consciousness, but when she came to her senses, she found herself in Sir HΓ©ctor's castle, who told her that he had asked one of his friends to bring her back.
When she saw the friend that Sir HΓ©ctor had spoken of, and the name he had given when he introduced himself, Leah knew that the person in front of her was King Arthur's teacher, Merlin, the magician who led King Arthur to the path of destiny.
Leah had asked Merlin what had happened when he went to look for her, and Merlin told her that when he appeared, Lia had lost consciousness, and that there was a woman beside her who was taking care of her, and Merlin brought her back after explaining the situation.
Liya breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, at least Sister Lulin didn't have an accident, which was the biggest comfort to her now, but when she wanted that distressing girl, all she could feel was the pain of her heart being cut.
In fact, Merlin was almost scared half to death at the beginning. The prophecy he began to see was originally just a tempering for Leah, although there would be thrills, but it was definitely not life-threatening, just when he wanted to see where Ria was, and wanted to secretly observe Leah, the person of fate. But to his horror, he found that the future he saw had undergone an unknown change, and Leah's fate had changed, and the original thrilling event had turned into something that could have caused death, which made him almost jump in fright, and he could only hurry to the place he saw, hoping to save Leah.
When he arrived, it was all over, and all he saw was corpses and rivers of blood, as well as Leah lying on the ground. At that moment, he only felt that he would never love again in the future, and the person of destiny he guided was actually dead, and he died like this, how did he accept it?
Just when he lamented that the world had collapsed, he felt the breath of life in Liya's body, although it was already very weak, but it was still there, and then he saw a woman holding Liya and told her that she was Liya's teacher, and brought her back. Although he wondered why the Saxon invaders, who had an absolute advantage in numbers and physical strength, would all die, but now Merlin's energy is focused on Leah's body, so he doesn't care so much, in his opinion, these can't be done by Leah, after all, although Leah is very talented, she still can't do it to this extent, it should be that there are some very powerful characters hidden among these people, and he can only explain it so much.
Later, he found out how seriously Liya's body was damaged, if he hadn't gone in time and knew a little medical skills, I'm afraid it wouldn't be long before Liya really hung up.
But even then, it took months of recuperation for Leah's body to be fully equipped.
Since Liya was completely well, she began a crazy cultivation journey, in this incident, she was deeply aware of her powerlessness and insignificance, she knew that only when she became stronger, she could protect everything she wanted to protect, and she would not have her important people die because of herself.
When Leah came to her senses, she didn't remember anything from her previous rampage, only that she glanced at Gwynaville, who was held in Lulin's arms, before she finally lost consciousness, and then she was in Sir Hactor's castle.
In this way, in the obsession with the crazy thirst for power, Liya carried out extreme cultivation, and unknowingly passed three years like this. During this period, under the introduction of Sir HΓ©ctor, Leah worshipped Merlin, who now lives in Sir Hector's house, as a teacher, although he said that he was a teacher, but he had nothing to teach Leah, swordsmanship? Merlin did not understand politics at all, politics? What can you expect him to know about politics as a magician? Not to mention HΓ©ctor, he has followed chivalry all his life, and he knows nothing about politics. So in this regard, Leah can only slowly explore it by herself in combination with the memories of her previous life.
However, although Merlin can't teach her swordsmanship and politics, he can teach her magic, although it's not too profound magic, it's just the most basic magic strengthening, but it also makes Liya's strength rise more than a little bit, after all, if the huge magic power on Liya's body can be controlled, then the effect is extremely terrifying
"Arthur, are you there?" asked Kai as he screamed from a direction not far from the woods, waking up Lia from the practice, and looking back at Kai running towards her. "What's the matter? β
"Why are you cultivating here again? You also have to rest properly, it's not good for your health to work hard like this. Kay asked worriedly, looking at the beads of sweat on Leah's face. "You've been cultivating so hard since you were brought back by Teacher Merlin three years ago, what happened?"
"No, you don't have to worry, you just want to be stronger. Don't talk about that, what's the matter with you?" Leah shook her head and changed the subject.
"It's nothing, my father told me to call you back to dinner. β
"yes, I see. After hearing this, Leah put away the big sword in her hand and walked towards the big tree not far away, where there was the little lion from three years ago, which Merlin brought back with him when he went to find Riya, and then he followed Ria all the time. Stretched out his hand and gently called the sleeping lion cub, his face showed a gentle look that has rarely been shown in the past three years, the little lion has been with Leah for these three years, and when she remembered the pain after Gwynaville, it has always been with Leah, so Leah's feelings for it are very deep. Perhaps feeling the warm palm of his master, the little lion opened his eyes to look at Liya, and then stretched out his tongue to lick Liya's palm, a flattering look. Looking at the lion cub who has grown up in the past three years, Liya can't help but show a doting smile.
"Let's go back. Leah whispered to the standing Kai.
"Hmm" Kay replied, walking behind, looking at Leah's back and wondering what he was thinking. Liya's personality has changed greatly over the years, she has become less playful and likes to fix him as much as before, the whole person has become dull, and she reads some books every day in addition to cultivation, and rarely jokes with him like before. He knew something must have happened, and he had asked Lea many times, but each time he was dismissed, worried, but helpless.

Sir HΓ©ctor in the courtyard of the castle
A girl stood quietly in it, the snowflakes falling in the air, chasing with the wind, falling on the girl's silky face like a naughty elf, on the snow-white dress, and she was very smart.
The girl slowly raised her pretty face, closed her eyes and felt the coldness and purity brought by the snowflakes!!
"Is it finally this time? Stretched out his snow-white hand to catch the snowflakes dancing in Ren Feng, and muttered to himself, although it was a question, the tone was with affirmation. "It's so fast."
Three months ago, news came from the royal capital that King Uther had died and had left behind a sword of the Chosen King, stuck in a stone, with his last words, 'Whoever draws this sword will be the King of Britain!'
This caused the madness of everyone in the country, regardless of the size of the nobles and commoners in the country, everyone wanted to give it a try, and maybe they would pull it out by accident? Who doesn't want to be the king? Even if they can't pull it out, they don't have anything to lose? People with such thoughts all flock to the royal city of Camelot, wanting to pull out the 'sword of the king'.
So the crowd gathered in the largest church of Camelot, and under the guidance of the priest they saw a square stone platform in the courtyard of the church, which was now sitting quietly on the altar, and in the center of the stone platform stood something of steel about a foot high, with a splendid sword with the tip pointed upwards and a gold inscription on all sides, 'Whoever can pull this sword out of the stone platform is the true king of Britain.'" β
When they saw the stone platform, they all came forward to look around, and then the people came forward and tried to draw their swords, hoping to become kings, but all of them ended in failure.
Then the archbishop said: "The one who can draw this sword has not yet come, but I believe that under the guidance of God, our king will soon appear to save our country." Therefore, I hereby proclaim that anyone who wants to draw his sword can come and try it. β
Soon after, countless people came, hoping to draw their swords and become kings, but all failed. Because there were so many people and no one could succeed, the archbishop believed that only those who were exceptionally outstanding could gain the approval of Wang Jian.
At this point, the church where the 'Sword of the Chosen King' was placed issued issued a notice that a knight's tournament would be held on Christmas Eve at the end of the year, so that the victor could go to the church and draw the 'Sword of the Chosen King'
Liya didn't feel sad about the death of her biological father in this world, after all, they hadn't gotten along for a moment, and Liya didn't even know what he looked like, which was really difficult for her to have feelings for her.
And now Kai and Leah are preparing to go to the King of Camelot to compete, Kai's purpose is not the final 'sword of king', he just wants to test his strength.
But, Artoria, her fate was sealed from the beginning, she was about to draw the 'sword of the chosen king' in victory, and then become the king of Britain, and begin her legendary and sad life under the watchful eyes of all people.
But this is the dream for which she willingly gave her life
Leah knew that Merlin was operating all this, and that the 'Sword of the Chosen King' was taken by him from the fairy in King Arthur's guardian lake, in the elven realm of Avalon, and then handed it over to King Uther.
Turning to look behind him, Kai was now packed, holding a horse in his hand, and waving at Leah with a smile on his face.
Artoria, who has grown into a flower girl, although she is dressed in simple male clothes, can't hide the fascinating ethereal temperament on her body, holy green pupils, sacred and inviolable, hazy eyes are clear and deep, and the smile that appears in her expression seems to be able to see through all the prosperity of the world.
The golden sand-like hair flutters in the wind, spreading the light of the sun, the delicate and perfect appearance, the eyes are picturesque, the small nose bridge, the pink and white cherry blossom lips are like broken petals, and the long and slightly curly eyebrows tremble slightly on the handsome little face, which looks misty, dreamy, and beautiful.
She just stood there, her body like a light cloud covering the moon, fluttering like the snow of the flowing wind elegant and clear, soft like the moonlight, and the green smoke was blurred.
"Let's go, Arthur, if you don't hurry up, you won't be able to catch up. Kai urged behind him.
"Well, got it, here it is. Suddenly, Leah showed a charming smile, a smile she had never shown in years, and it was so beautiful that it was intoxicating
"Destiny Let's Get Started"
PS: Let the plot fly, I really want to finish writing it quickly.,It's really not as easy as writing anime fandom.
Note: This book has a small number of mythological backgrounds and plots, and the story that unfolds in the background of mythology is what kind of myth is it?
Regarding some people saying not to abuse the master, in fact, I saw someone saying that they don't want Long Aotian and want to pave the way for feelings, so I wonder if abuse can enhance feelings more?
