Chapter 13: Merlin!
Hearing Arthur say this, the joy in his adoptive father's eyes almost overflowed. He couldn't wait to raise Arthur's hand. Loudly announced to the surroundings:
"In the hands of my adopted son, Arthur, is the sword in the stone that came down from heaven to bring the prophecy of heaven, and according to the prophecy, he should become the king of all England." His voice was full of emotion.
The people who were talking stopped talking, and after such a long period of observation, most of them were convinced that Arthur had drawn the sword in the stone. First of all, the sword was exactly the same as the sword in the stone, and then, no one dared to deceive them in this matter.
After hearing Arthur's adoptive father announce this in public, most of the people saluted Arthur, and looked at him with more anticipation - is this young man the future king who will soon rule England?
But there is a group of people who are not like this, and after discovering that Arthur is holding the sword in the stone, the expressions on their faces may only be described as wonderful, shocked, confused, and annoyed...... What a complicated complexion! Perhaps that's what they think in their hearts:
"The powerful and noble self did not pull out this sword with all his might. But this half-sized kid who came out of nowhere actually pulled it out. "What's more, in the current England, they are the top of the whole of England, and no one would want to suddenly have some extra king of England above their heads to rule them.
So some nobles spoke out, and they questioned Arthur's adoptive father: "How do you prove that your adopted son is really the sword in the stone, besides, even if it is the sword in the stone, how can you prove that he pulled it out, unless we see him pull out the sword in the stone with our own eyes, otherwise, we refuse to believe and admit his identity." β
After listening to these rebuttal words, the people around me thought about it, too. It still makes sense. There was a chorus of voices in the field asking Arthur to plunge his sword back into the meteorite to see if he could pull it out again. A man flocks Arthur to the place where the meteorite fell that day, and they want to witness the miracle with their own eyes.
Li Yi also followed the crowd and came to the area around the sword meteorite with the stone in it again. He saw Godric and Salazar, the four of them. Li Yi greeted them: "Hi, several." How about a big tournament? I didn't expect the sword in the stone to be pulled up today. β
The four founders of Hogwarts replied to him, "Don't mention it, we didn't even play before we heard that the sword in the stone had been drawn." We are here to witness. And maybe Merlin will show up, and we can take this opportunity to challenge him. He was still the Gryffindor, who was most familiar with Li Yi among the four, and he replied. Actually, this guy is a complete self-cook.
As they spoke, Arthur had already inserted the sword in the stone untouched under the gaze of several representatives of the nobles, and then pulled it out again in front of the crowd of onlookers.
Now no one doubts it! It won't be long before the name of this now-ordinary teenager spreads throughout the UK. But at this moment, a discordant voice sounded:
"Hmph, after the sword in the stone is inserted again, it must be easier to pull out than before, what can it mean to pull it out now, I think everyone can pull it up now."
Everyone searched for who dared to say such a thing, and finally everyone locked on a nobleman who wanted to hide behind the other nobles. What kind of person is that? He was dressed shabbyly, his manners were not elegant, and he casually said such a group of ridiculed words. This man was guilty of the wrath of the people.
Arthur was only a teenager after all, and he was at the age of being angry when he heard someone mock him like this. Directly inserted the sword in the stone into the meteorite again, and shouted to the nobleman who was speaking ill of him behind his back: "I will insert this sword here now, and if you have the ability, pull it out again!" Then I automatically gave up being the king of England. β
The man was also aware of his public anger, but he was very thick-skinned and didn't care much. Hearing Arthur say this, he stood up with a big grin. He also said to the surroundings, "My name is Stanley Milton, remember this name, he will be the name of your future king." β
Seeing that Arthur's little boy could pull out this sword, he was now confident in himself.
But when he stood in front of the sword in the stone and pulled it up with both hands, the sword in the stone did not move.
"Cut...... What I just said seems to be so powerful, but now, it's not like I can't pick it up at all. β
"That's it, what is this man's name? Oh......, what is it called Stanley's. The strength is not very good, and the bragging kung fu is first-class. β
β¦β¦
Stanley heard the people in the audience sarcastically mock him like this, Rao was very thick-skinned, and he also felt panicked, and he stepped off the stage in a gloomy manner, not knowing where to run.
"So, is there any 'strong man' who thinks it will be easy to pull out this sword?" Arthur asked the nobles who questioned him in a slight tone.
At this time, there was Stanley's example in front, and those aristocrats were not willing to make a fool of themselves on stage, so they looked at each other, as if they hadn't heard what Arthur was just saying.
"It's coming!" Li Yi and the founders of Hogwarts, who had been silently watching all this beside him, suddenly looked in front of Arthur in tacit understanding. There was an unusual wave in the air.
Gradually, the fluctuations grew stronger, and other wizards and warriors took notice. They have asked the ordinary people to retreat, and they are waiting for them.
The wizards began to close their eyes and carefully lock on to the wave with their magic, pulling out their wands and muttering to themselves, and the warriors were ready to mobilize the magic power in their bodies at any time. They had only seen such powerful fluctuations in one kind of person, and that was the apex of this worldβthe legend.
Now is the momentous time to witness the King of England draw that sword of destiny, and at this time a legend suddenly arrives, everyone must be prepared.
But when the fluctuations stopped, something shocked everyone happened, and the wizards who closed their eyes and locked on to the comer with their magic power were surprised to find that there was nothing there, and in the eyes of the warriors, it was an ordinary old man.
With a long white beard and a head full of hair, if he hadn't appeared in that fluctuating place, perhaps everyone would not have thought that he was any different from an ordinary old man.
The old man looked at the wizards and warriors around him and smiled slightly: "Don't be nervous, I'm Merlin." β
In just eight words, it shook the hearts of those present. Merlin is a living legend in England. He is the most powerful man in all of Britain and the only known legendary wizard. But he has been missing for some reason since more than 20 years ago. No one ever knew of him.
Until now!
A mysterious old man appears here, calling himself Merlin!
