Chapter 53: The Ceremony of Choosing a King

"Whoever draws this sword will be the king of Britain!"

The knight girl was clasping her hands and looking nervously at the sword stuck in the stone, when she saw a figure fall from mid-air.

The man with black hair and black eyes happened to fall on the stone, subconsciously held on to the hilt of the sword, gently pulled it out.

"Pull ········ It's out·········"

"This is a foreigner!"

"He's black-haired, black-eyed, yellow-skinned, he's a human race I've never seen, could it be a wizard?"

"How is this calculated? Shall we make a Gentile king? ”

"No, you are mistaken, he is the famous prophet His Excellency the Great Sage of Merlin!"

"It turned out to be His Excellency the Sage, and it was hard to change and be able to draw a sword!"

"The sword was inserted into the stone thirteen years ago by the sage, and I was present at the time, and the sword is a treasure that the sage took from the fairy!"

There was a lot of discussion on the field for a while.

However, the knight girl's expression was a little delicate, and she asked with some uncertainty:

"Teacher, what are you doing? Isn't this the sword you put in? ”

"Also, didn't you say this morning that you were going to the forest to exchange magic with the fairies in the lake, so you couldn't come and preside over the ceremony yourself?"

She whispered.

"Ah, this, teacher, I don't think today may be a good day, we can hold the ceremony another day··········"

As soon as he came to his senses, Lin Zhengyang noticed the difference in this sword.

The sword itself carries the prayers of the people of this land, longing for a perfect king, and there is a lot of powerful magic, which is fused with exquisite technology, this is an enchanted sword of national fortune.

Although he picked it up, it was obvious that the owner of the sword was not him, and the sword did not exclude him from holding it·········· It's like the relationship between a divine soldier and a swordsmith, a divine soldier will choose his own master, but the swordsmith will not be rejected like an unrelated person when he occasionally holds it, just wanting to exert his full power is a fantasy.

"This sword is the sword of the oath, and now it's the king election ceremony, and ·········· Arthur actually turned into Lily~! ”

"Then contact what she called me teacher just now········· It seems that my journey has been even harder than I imagined! ”

Although in the river of history, Lin Zhengyang has already received a hint that he doesn't know how many weeks he left behind his own home, and he roughly estimated the hardship of this journey, but he didn't expect it to be so hard.

"Lily calls me a teacher, which means that I have to go to an earlier point in time to fulfill my responsibilities as a teacher, and by the way, prepare this sword, prepare for the king election ceremony, and by the way, there are a package of troubles, such as ·········· I'm sure I'm that Merlin! The story about Merlin has been around for too long and has been out of shape, and I can only play it on the spot········ Fortunately, everyone is still relatively simple in these years, and fooling, pyramid schemes, and brainwashing are still very marketable, and they don't need so much investment from later generations, and a little trick can make them believe it. ”

"But how many points in time do I have to go? The Merlin written by JK Merlin in the original book was a student at Slytherin House at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry! But this school does not exist at this point in time! This means that I should at least enter Slytherin House as Merlin in the future and come to this era as Arthur's teacher as a time magic·········"

"At least seven years of study, Professor Lily grew up for at least ten years, plus later supported Arthur to fight in the south and north, I'm afraid I won't waste fifty or sixty years! If there were any other surprises, that number would probably have to continue to double and double, and a conservative estimate would have to be for two hundred years before I could achieve my intended goal. ”

"It's hard to think about, and I really want to find a coolie ·········"

Secretly complaining in his heart, he was still silent on his face, and did not reveal anything, but followed Lily's words.

"Teacher, I suddenly feel a little sloppy, maybe I should be more cautious···········"

His eyes fell on the girl's immature shoulders, and Lily, disguised as a boy, had to sweat more in order to be able to catch up with her peers, and her shoulders were actually full of scars.

Suddenly felt a little pity, how much did this girl pay in order to bear the future of this nation?

"Actually·········"

The girl stepped forward and said solemnly:

"Teacher, Britain can't wait!"

"I don't understand why you suddenly decided to preside over the ceremony yourself, but there's no better host than you! Please preside over this king election ceremony! ”

Among those present, there were many knightly squires who were not weak, and they were all convinced of Artoria Pandragon's strength, so when the two were talking, they stood behind in a proper manner and did not come forward to disturb them.

They came from all parts of Britain, or came from noble families, wealthy merchants, or were knightly squires on their ancestors. Only "Artoria" was the illegitimate son of King Yuser and inherited the Pendragon surname.

Of course, only she herself thought she was an orphan after thinking she was a civilian·········· King Yuser did not allow anyone to reveal her identity.

This is a way to sharpen his children, so that he can grow up among the common people, get rid of the bad atmosphere of arrogance and lasciviousness, and is also conducive to accumulating popularity.

In private, in fact, King Yusher not only sent his own henchmen to protect her, but also let the descendants of important ministers in the army train with her sooner or later, and even invited a sage to enlighten and educate her, impart all kinds of knowledge, and taught her from a young age that she must become a king and train her as a prince·············· It's quite dedicated.

It's just that, there is one thing, this girl can only live as a man and live as a king, and the payment is not small, but she has not sought anything for herself.

"Lily··········"

He called softly.

"Are you sure you want to draw this sword, bear the long-cherished wish of all the people, overcome all obstacles, and accomplish the cause of kingship?"

"Yes, teacher, I've been preparing for this for thirteen years!"

She raised her head firmly and looked up at the teacher, her determined eyes unshakable!

"Do you think the scabbard is more important or is the sword more important?"

The Sword of Victory and Oath, also known as the Sword of the Stone and the Sword of Kings, has an extraordinary scabbard that protects its host from bloodshed.

In the Arthurian legend, the true power of the holy sword comes from the "immortal power" on the scabbard, which has the ability to heal the wounds of the wielder and immortalize youth.

If she answers that it is a scabbard, then it will lead to another end.

"A sword, of course! Swords can defeat enemies! Bring peace to Britain! ”

Sighing imperceptibly, Lin Zhengyang gave up his seat and let them try one by one.

In the end, in full view of everyone, the challengers failed again, and many of them were famous knights, who tried more than once to draw the sword in stone and be crowned king, but none of them succeeded in thirteen years.

This added to the mystery of the sword and made its fame spread.

A sword that can only be drawn by the king of the Mandate of Heaven, the magic sword that the sage obtained from the fairy of the lake and is produced in the elven kingdom of Avalon!

Thirteen years in the making, the sword was originally a rare and powerful enchanted sword, but when almost all the people of Britain believed that it was the sword of kings, it was added a layer of magical power by various legends, and it truly became the sword of kings.

The so-called king election ceremony, the truth is that you must wait until the sword becomes the sword of the king before the real king can be elected.

The one who draws this sword is the king of Britain, and it is no longer empty talk!

The knight girl drew her sword on the spot.

"The sword of kings is powerful, but its scabbard is more valuable than its sword. The one who wields the sword of kings will never bleed, and you must not lose it. ”10
