Time passes quickly.

No one knew when a tall stone platform suddenly appeared in the church.

The stone platform is three feet high and four feet long and wide, and it seems to be indistinguishable from ordinary stone platforms.

Above the stone platform was a sword that shimmered with cold light, and around it, a glittering white holy light manifested and changed into a clear line of writing: "Whoever can pull this sword from the stone platform anvil is born the true king of all England." ”

Sword in the Stone!

The crowd was stunned at first, and then ecstatic.

Everyone knows that the main event is coming.

Seeing this, the bishop's eyes flickered, but he quickly regained his composure.

He looked sideways at the crowd and said majestically: "Now I command you to remain in the church and continue to pray to God, that no one shall touch this sword until the Mass is over." ”

Although everyone was anxious, they did not dare to refuse.

At the end of the Mass, someone stepped forward at the bishop's signal.

Fail!

Fail!

Fail!

The failure of the three small and medium-sized nobles in succession made everyone calm down temporarily.

However, in the face of the temptation of the supreme throne, soon the first high-ranking grand duke could not resist the temptation and stepped forward.

However, in the face of this game that has already been predestined for a long time, they are destined to be disappointed.

Half an hour later, most of the nobles and knights in the church had tried to draw the sword in the stone, but all of them failed.

Things have developed so far, and some of the nobles who have not yet tried it are secretly happy, hoping that they can become the legendary king of the Mandate of Heaven. Others are increasingly worried, fearing that they will be the same as the previous losers.

Whatever these people thought, neither Master Merlin nor Countess Goffinie cared.

As the masterminds of this game, they know the rules and outcome of the game best.

Compared to these poor creatures who entered the game, they were only worried about one person.

The eyes of the two were always on Li Hao, as if as long as he moved a little, he would be cursed terriblely.

Finally, when most of the people failed to draw their swords, everyone's eyes couldn't help but look at the only person on the scene who didn't try-Li Hao.

"There you go."

Li Hao faced everyone's gaze and commanded Artoria calmly.

Everyone was stunned, and they all looked at the little squire wearing knight armor beside Li Hao.

Because Artoria was wearing a visor, they could only see a pair of blue eyes, and they could not see the specific face.

Merlin and Gefanie were even more stunned, they didn't expect Li Hao to send an attendant instead of taking action in person.

If Li Hao takes action in person, they will also worry that they will see through the mystery. But at this time, the two of them didn't understand what Li Hao wanted to do.

Mage Merlin frowned and said, "Baron Strand, this is a sacred selection that belongs to the nobles, you..."

Li Hao interrupted: "If she fails, count me as a failure." ”

When his words fell, everyone was in an uproar.

"This madman, does he even know what he's doing?"

"Does Baron Strands want to take this opportunity to give in?"

"Well, it seems to make some sense. If Baron Strand's own action had been to do so, it would have been hard to say what the outcome would have been. But how could an attendant who didn't even dare to show his face pull out this sword in the stone given by the gods. ”

"It seems that Baron Strandne has realized his mistake and wants to take this opportunity to apologize to Countess Gaffine."

"Sure enough, even the famous Baron Strandne would not dare to offend the mysterious witch."

After a short period of stunned, some people soon thought they had found the reason why Li Hao wanted to do this. Everyone whispered, with a complicated attitude in their words, obviously expressing a lot of regret for their self-belief that Li Hao was giving in.

Even Merlin and Gefanie were quite puzzled, feeling that Li Hao might be taking this opportunity to admit defeat.

They looked at each other without moving, and then Merlin said, "Baron Strand, you are sure to give up your sacred right and pin all your hopes and favors on this squire. ”

Li Hao said with a smile: "I have already seen through my fate, and the result is doomed." ”

When everyone heard this, they all frowned.

Mad!

It's arrogant.

If they thought that Li Hao was succumbing to softness before, but now even a fool can see that this is not an intentional attitude of convincing.

See through fate.

Everyone was unhappy, and their eyes at Li Hao were a little weird and playful.

They wanted to see if it was Li Hao who saw through the power of fate, or whether the witches of Avalon were strong.

Merlin's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said, "Since Baron Strand's wishes have this will, then this unknown knight, please." ”

Although Merlin said this, his eyes were always on Li Hao.

For the witches of Avalon, the only enemy is Li Hao, and as for the young Artoria, they are not seen by them at all.

This sword mechanism in the stone can only be opened by King Uther's bloodline.

Any other means of forcible seizure will only trigger the mechanism and destroy the sword in the stone.

Artoria stepped forward, took a deep breath and barely calmed her pounding mind, gripping the hilt of the sword in the stone with both hands.

"Zheng!"

With a clanging sound, the sword in the stone was easily pulled out by Artoria.

For a moment, everyone couldn't help but look sideways in astonishment.

Pulled, pulled out?

Artoria was also stunned for a moment, she didn't expect it to be so easy.

She showed a bright and moving smile and ran towards Li Hao with brisk steps. She couldn't wait to see the baron's smile and hear the compliments.

"Lord Baron, Artoria is fortunate to have survived."

Artoria held the sword in both hands, knelt down on one knee and offered the sword, and said happily.

The crisp female voice echoes in the church, becoming the only embellishment.

Li Hao helped Artoria up and said with a smile: "Whoever can pull out this sword from the stone anvil is born to be the true king of the whole territory of England." This is God's will and the inspiration of the gods.

So from now on, my sweet little squire, you will be crowned king and king of all England! ”

Artoria's face was full of confusion and looked at Li Hao stupidly.

I, King of England!?

The others were no better than Artoria's, and their faces were bewildered, and they couldn't come back to their senses.

What the hell is this trying to do?

Madman, this is the throne of the King of England, he, he actually gave up to a squire?

My God, what kind of idiot have you chosen?

It was only at this time that Merlin and the others reacted.

They didn't know how Artoria did it, but seeing that things had come to this point, they couldn't afford to let the plan fail.

"Wait."

Countess Gaffinie stopped: "Although this knight lady has drawn her God-inspired sword in stone, it is impossible for us to serve a woman as king. I thought ....."

Li Hao interrupted: "This is God's will and the inspiration of fate. Do you want to go against God's will, against the revelation of fate? ”

"Ridiculous, God would never choose a woman to be king of England, and I have to suspect that Baron Strand's secret blasphemy against God's will would have led to such a ridiculous result."

A high-ranking grand duke stood up and openly accused.

When others heard this, they chimed in.

"Yes, how could God have chosen a woman to be king of England, there must have been someone blaspheming God's will."

Li Hao's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said flatly: "Blaspheming God's will is really a big crime." ”

When he said this, he suddenly laughed: "Okay, then I'll tell you, that's what I mean." Are you satisfied with this answer? ”

Everyone was stunned, and they were full of puzzlement for Li Hao's decisive answer.

That's too free, isn't it?

Or are we just so deterrent?

No matter how stupid they are, they can see that Li Hao disdains to entangle this issue with them. It's just that they don't understand, where did Li Hao get the courage to offend the nobles, the Holy See, and the Avalon witches at the same time?

Li Hao ignored everyone's astonishment, and said indifferently: "Merciful Baron Strand, give the losers present two choices, let them choose to stand and sacrifice their loyalty, or kneel on the ground and lick their master's shoes to show their submission!" ”

Silence, death-like silence.

Everyone looked at Li Hao in astonishment, as if they were looking at a madman.

Does he really think he is God?
