Chapter 219: The Girl Who Is Destined to Be King (Second Update)
Avalon is a sacred place in Celtic mythology and another name for Elysium in Wales.
It is also known as the "Island of Blessing" or "Island of Heavenly Blessing". Geoffrey of Monmothshire, in the literature Vita Merlin, refers to Avalon as "Apple Island".
If you just talk about Avalon, many people may not be familiar with it.
But in King Arthur's story, Avalon plays a very important role. This is not only the final burial place of King Arthur, but also a sacred place with a very important place in ancient British mythology.
5th century AD, Avalon, ancient England.
Avalon is blessed with vast land resources and abundant mineral resources.
It is home to ancient civilizations that flourished much more than Europe, and a vast territory far beyond Eurasia. However, compared to Europe, there are only extremely few human beings here, and there are more indigenous creatures such as elves, dwarves, and even demons.
Avalon is a sacred place, but also a place of peace.
War has been very, very long ago for the indigenous people of Avalon.
At least for the people who now live in Avalon, peace is the main theme.
But none of the inhabitants of Avalon could have imagined that the war would come so suddenly, and the killing would be so terrible.
One day not long ago, a strange divine light fell from the sky and fell into the dwarven mine.
A whole new race was born without anyone knowing.
Golem, a transformation of ores from mines and rare magical gems.
They are incredibly tall and unmatchedly powerful.
The smallest stone giants are more than ten meters tall, and the most powerful stone giants are like towering hills. And the most terrifying thing is that the stone giants' special physique allows them to be immune to most of the low-level magic, as well as most of the physical attacks.
If that's all it takes, it's not enough to frighten people.
What really caused chaos in Avalon was Golem's terrifying desire to kill. It's as if they were born to kill, hating all living beings.
5th century AD, suburb of ancient London.
A tall carriage slowly drove into London, with a special badge engraved on it, a symbol of noble status for the nobility.
The coat of arms is very special, like the zodiac, and like an abstract big clock.
The coachman parked the car at the old manor not far from the city of London, and said respectfully: "Lord Baron, we have arrived at the place. ”
A young man with long black hair and golden eyes stepped out of the carriage.
He looked at the manor in front of him, which covered an area of tens of thousands of square meters, although it was not luxurious, but it was also quite atmospheric, and he bowed his head slightly without words.
This person is Li Hao.
But now, he is a baron canonized by King Uther, the only lineage of the Stran family, and the inheritor of ancient magic.
Although Li Hao was a little surprised by this time to travel to the era of ancient England, he was not particularly surprised.
When Li Hao walked into the manor, someone immediately greeted him.
"Welcome back, Lord Baron."
A beautiful Western girl with blonde hair and blue eyes trotted out of the manor house. She was dressed in a delicate knight's armor dominated by silver and white, with blue accents, and her graceful figure was outlined by the special armor to make it even more attractive.
When Li Hao saw the visitor, a faint strangeness flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.
The maiden's name was Artoria Pendragon, a very common name.
It's just that if this name is placed in a special era, it has extraordinary significance.
For example, ancient England in the fifth century.
This is a girl who is destined to become a king!
Of course, there is no difference between this so-called doomed and whether it is recognized by Li Hao or by history.
Li Hao smiled and said, "Artoria, have you practiced well recently?" ”
Artoria Joan's nose was slightly wrinkled, and her face showed a faint look of disappointment, feeling a little dissatisfied with Li Hao's question. But as a strong girl, she quickly sorted out her undeserved emotions and said firmly: "Artoria is the Baron's guardian knight, so naturally she will not let the Baron down. ”
"Okay, continue to practice hard, and in half a month it will be time for you to make a move." Li Hao bowed slightly, satisfied.
Artoria was stunned and said, "Shot? ”
Li Hao said: "Since the death of King Yusher, the nobles have been frantically expanding their territory and power, and the war has made the country almost out of control.
In order to save the chaotic empire and better resolve the conflicts between the nobles, Master Merlin made an agreement with the bishop of the diocese of Canterbury. On Christmas Eve, whoever can pull out the sword in the church will be crowned king. ”
When Artoria heard this, she realized what was going on.
She held her sword in both hands and said, "I, Artoria Pendragon, will defend the glory of Baron Strands with my life." ”
Li Hao smiled and said nothing, and did not say much about this matter.
Becoming the king of ancient England, Li Hao didn't have that interest. He will never forget the lesson of his time in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and once he left, the huge empire he had built with his own hands had suffered a blow.
Of course, although he is not interested in becoming a king, Li Hao is still quite interested in training a girl king.
He grabbed the girl's willow waist, ignored the girl's slightly red pretty face, and said with a smile: "Go, let me see if you have made progress recently." If he made good progress, the kind and forgiving Baron Strands would reluctantly invite his Guardian Knight to dinner and enjoy a wonderful bath. ”
When Li Hao said this, he didn't wait for Artoria to answer, and said domineeringly: "This is the order of Lord Baron, and you can't refuse." ”
When Artoria heard the wonderful bath, the flush on her pretty face instantly deepened, as tempting as a ripe apple.
She pursed her lips and whispered in a voice like a mosquito, "Domineering bad baron." ”
Although she said this, Artoria did not resist, and followed Li Hao meekly and walked towards the martial arts arena behind the manor.
Meanwhile, on a road some distance from London, two young knights galloped on heavily armed horses.
Not far behind them, there were several knightly squires.
One of them had short blond hair and blue eyes, and was seventy percent similar to Artoria. However, compared to the gentleness of Artoria's women, he is a little more masculine.
Another teenager complained dissatisfiedly, "Arthur, you're such a piece of shit. If you hadn't been delayed on the way, we would have arrived in London by now to enjoy delicious food. ”
Arthur smiled stupidly, not daring to refute.
Because this man is not only his brother-in-law, but also the future knight he needs to serve for the rest of his life.
