Chapter 873: Hostility is hard to dispel

Ling Xiao thought at first that there must be a Knight of the Round Table whose strength exceeds that of the S-level in the Knights of the Round Table, after all, Brian Braddock's strength as the twelfth Knight has A-rank, so the strength of the head of the Knights of the Round Table must be far greater than him.

After such a long period of contact, Ling Xiao found that this was not the case in fact, whether it was the first Knight of the Round Table Lanstrow, or the second Knight of the Round Table Gawain, their strength was only A+, and none of their strength broke through the S-level.

It is precisely because of this that when the dark elves invaded the United Kingdom, the first knight of the round table, Lanstrow, chose to escort the queen away as soon as possible, while the second knight of the round table, Gawain, was responsible for establishing a separation zone on the periphery of the battle to intercept any dark elves who tried to break into human society.

However, the Knights of the Round Table does not have a strong man who exceeds the S-class, but this does not mean that the whole of Britain does not, and the existence of this S-class powerhouse has an extremely close relationship with the British royal family, and this person's name is Merlin.

Merlin is a legendary magician in English and Welsh mythology, a powerful and wise magician, a visionary of the future, a close friend and mentor of King Arthur, who helped King Arthur ascend to the throne and leave behind many legends, and even today there are many movies and television series based on Merlin's story.

In fact, Merlin, like the Knights of the Round Table, left behind nothing more than a title of inheritance.

However, unlike the Knights of the Round Table, each person who took over Merlin's title was actually a descendant of the legendary great magician, and his surname was indeed Merlin.

However, Merlin does not live in London, not even in England, according to the information obtained by Ling Xiao, he lives in Wales all the year round, rarely comes to London, and even the time of the dark elf invasion has not allowed him to leave the hermitage, and within the Knights of the Round Table, there are rumors that Merlin has actually foreshadowed that Ling Xiao and Thor will definitely be able to solve the dark elf invasion, so he is not worried at all.

Ling Xiao doesn't care about predicting the future, there are countless possibilities in the future, in his opinion, time is like a big tree, the more it grows, the more countless branches will be branched, just like no one knows where the future will go, and he doesn't know which branch is the real future.

Ling Xiao had never seen that Merlin mage, and he had never seen anyone from the Knights of the Round Table contact him, but despite this, the strength of the Knights of the Round Table was still not to be underestimated, even without that Merlin mage, it would be very difficult for any S-level powerhouse to do something to the British royal family, because in the hands of the first Knight of the Round Table Lanstrow, he held the artifact Stone Sword.

Legend has it that the sword in the stone is a sword stuck in a square stone, surrounded by gold letters: "Whoever can pull this sword out of the stone platform and is born in England, he is the king of all England." ”

When a group of frogs at the bottom of the well, greedy for status and wealth, dream of becoming the king of all England, the sword in the stone rejects them; And when a teenager runs to protect his brother's life and honor, the sword in the stone blesses the boy, and the young Arthur easily draws the sword.

Because Arthur was too young for the nobles to bow down, they repeatedly asked Arthur to draw his sword in public but still didn't believe that it was their true destiny. Over time, the people began to identify with Arthur as king, and they objected to the nobles' repeated procrastination. Shortly thereafter, Arthur became king of all England.

Although the British royal family has gone through many dynasties, in fact, there are close or distant blood ties between the previous and subsequent dynasties, and the blood relationship between members of the royal family has never been interrupted. Thousands of years later, King Arthur's bloodline still reigns over the whole of Britain.

And only the royal children of King Arthur's bloodline are capable of using this sword in stone, and this is the case with Lanstrow, the first knight of the Knights of the Round Table.

As long as he holds the sword in the stone, even if the opponent is an S-level powerhouse, don't want to defeat him easily, to a certain extent, the sword in the stone is not inferior to the ancient winter coffin, Thor's hammer and eternal spear and other treasures, but although he is a child of the British royal family, no one can refine the sword in the stone, even King Arthur back then, and every time you use the sword in the stone, you have to pay a lot of consumption, everyone is the same.

Gawain, as the second knight of the Knights of the Round Table, also has the blood of the British royal family, compared to the mysterious Lanstrow, Gawain's background is relatively easy to investigate, he was born in the British world in the 70s, at the peak of Queen Elizabeth II's reign, and he was also a popular figure when he was young, but after he later became a knight of the Round Table, he became increasingly low-key, and entered the new century, and most people have not even heard his name.

The thick-eyed earl was standing in front of Ling Xiao, telling him with a serious face about what had just happened.

Although S.H.I.E.L.D. has entered the era of Jeffrey Mays, at a critical moment, it is Coulson's group of people who can really be used.

When Coulson arrived in Miami with Fitz and Alfonso McKinsey, he was sure that it was indeed the geomagnetic pulse bomb that caused everything, because even after several hours, the continuous electromagnetic pulse was still being released, and even those of them who had just entered the blackout zone were unable to use all the electronic devices they had brought with them.

However, it is not without good news, because the electromagnetic pulse is still being released to the outside world, so it also gives them the opportunity to track the location of the electromagnetic pulse equipment according to the electromagnetic pulse released, especially if they have a top physicist like Fitz.

After some rushing, Coulson and the three finally found the location of the EMP equipment, but there, a small team of heavily armed fighters was guarding the perimeter of the EMP equipment, and Coulson and Alfonso McKinsey rushed over without thinking.

There were two of them to attract the attention of the group, Fitz carefully sneaked near the electromagnetic pulse device, and cleanly destroyed the electronic pulse device, at this time, Coulson and Alfonso McKinsey, who were pressed and beaten on the other side, immediately breathed a sigh of relief, because there was an electronic pulse, their hypnotic pistol and electronic arm could not work, and now these things can finally be used.

Colson and Alfonso McKinsey defeated the heavily armed fighters with three strikes and five divisions, and it was only at this time that they discovered that this group actually belonged to the Overseer's men, and the leader of the Overseer was none other than Blake, a former agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. who had previously belonged to S.H.I.E.L.D.

However, Coulson frowned tightly, you know, since the last time he found out that Blake was secretly manipulating the Overseer, so he upgraded the security system within S.H.I.E.L.D. to ensure that even Blake could not get information from the current S.H.I.E.L.D., but now the list of Inhumans within S.H.I.E.L.D. is still leaked, but he doesn't know where to start.

Since Jeffrey Mays took over the helm of S.H.I.E.L.D., he has strictly vetted every insider member who can receive high-level secrets, and conducted a polygraph test every once in a while to ensure that no one can infiltrate S.H.I.E.L.D., but now the problem still happens.

After the matter was over, the intelligence of all parties was summarized, and it was finally found that a total of 17 Inhumans died in this incident, and a team of heavily armed Overseer fighters found the location of these Inhumans with great accuracy, and then injured them, fortunately, S.H.I.E.L.D. brought the news under control in time, otherwise 17 Inhumans were killed, which would inevitably cause an uproar in the entire Inhuman world, which was definitely something S.H.I.E.L.D. did not want to see.

However, the affairs of the Inhuman world can be dealt with later, and what S.H.I.E.L.D. is now facing is the reproach of the entire human world against the Inhumans, even within the U.S. government, several congressmen have stood up and shouted out the dangers of the Inhumans, demanding that all the Inhumans be completely arrested and thrown into prison, regardless of whether they have signed the Sokovia Supervision Agreement or not, especially a member named Nadir, who is even more hostile to the Inhumans.

While this surging of malice towards Inhumans poured in, Jeffrey Mays, at Coulson's suggestion, directly announced to the public that he had become the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., and that he was an Inhuman himself.
