148 Prelude to the Election of the King
King Uther died, unexplained, no one knew how he died, his body was found in his bedroom, a dagger pierced his heart, and the leader of the Kingdom of Camelot left the world alone, his face still full of shock and nostalgia.
In the main hall, all the nobles of the kingdom gathered here, some of them were worried, some were sneering, and some were expressionless but their eyes were constantly scratching on others, the people gathered here were all people with real power, and they were also capable of becoming the new king of the Kingdom of Camelot!
Here, everyone is their own enemy!
As soon as King Uther died, the nobles who had been loyal to him all had new ideas, and who wanted to be a subordinate for the rest of their lives? If there is a chance to win the crown, everyone will fight for it, and His Majesty will sound more comfortable and heart-wrenching than Lord so-and-so, right?
In the main hall, a beautiful woman sits on a slightly smaller throne, and beside her is a vacant but with a crown on the throne, and the person who used to sit here is called Yusher. Pendragen, the last king of Camelot!
It's just that he's now turned into a cold corpse...
Looking at the nobles below who were pregnant with ghosts, King Uther's most beloved woman, that is, the queen of the Kingdom of Camelot, Igrein, had a frosty face, and her beautiful face was only cold.
She knew that the nobles below did not take themselves seriously, whether it was King Uther before his death or after his death, this group of nobles did not look at themselves squarely, in their eyes they were just a slut who abandoned her lover for power? (Author: Igrein was Arthur's true mother, the original match of the Duke of Cornwall, who was assigned to the worst battlefields by King Uther in order to possess the woman, and ended up marrying the woman after the death of the other man.) )
In addition, all the children of King Uther are female surnames, according to the kingdom and the consistent traditions of this era, it is impossible for a woman to become a king, which has given many people an opportunity, and some people even want to bring King Uther's whole family to ** after ascending the throne, you must know that they are all beauties! (Well, evil.) )
As time passed, the entire hall turned from quiet to chaos, and eventually almost led to a duel, with everyone supporting their own opinions and opinions, and then attacking each other, some even threatening military power, or even splitting from the kingdom.
Looking at the group of nobles below who were making trouble because of this throne, Igrein sneered, she knew that no matter how noisy this group of people were, they would not become kings in the end, because the king of Britain had already appeared, and it was still her own child!
Merlin, the magician, stood aside, he also watched the farce below, with a smile on his chubby face, and finally he spoke, "My lords, can you listen to your opinions?" It's not a way to argue like this, it's just a waste of time, how about it? ”
As soon as Merlin opened his mouth, everyone's realization gathered on him, although Merlin was not a nobleman, but his identity was extremely noble, he was not just a magician, he was also a prophet, a prophet!
He had a high status in the kingdom, and many commoners admired this fat man with a smile on his face.
After hearing Merlin's words, all the nobles expressed their willingness to listen to Merlin's opinion, because in the eyes of this group of nobles, Merlin's words represent the words of God, and he is God's spokesman in the world, and no one will refute it.
"Actually, the prophesied king has already appeared, don't you already know it? Since the prophecy has already appeared, let's do what the prophecy says, and whoever draws the holy sword will become the king of Britain and rule the land! Merlin said with a smile, his gaze swept over everyone present, and all the people he glanced at in his gaze involuntarily lowered their heads, because at this moment they felt that they were being targeted by a beast, and if they objected, they would be bitten by this beast's throat!
Instantly cold, no one dared to object to Merlin's words.
"Since you have no opinion, then the time to choose the king is a week later on Christmas, on that day we will gather the noble knights of the whole country to London for a prayer ceremony, whoever pulls out the 'sword in the stone' will will be the king of Britain, this is the will of God and the arrangement of fate, how about it? You wouldn't object to it, would you?! At the end of the sentence, Merlin's smiling expression disappeared, and the fat face hidden under the hood became hideous, and a huge force erupted from his body, and the wind swept through the entire hall, and some people were even blown to the ground.
Speaking of this step is no longer an opinion but a threat, Merlin threatens all the nobles present that if they dare to object, he will definitely kill everyone!
No one knew why Merlin was doing this, and no one knew what he was thinking, because at this moment his attitude was obviously against all the nobles present, even the first magician of the kingdom should not do this, it was almost pushing himself to the precipice!
The people present were indeed suppressed by Merlin's power and threat, but many people wanted to give Merlin a good look after leaving, but unfortunately this was just an idea, because when they saw Merlin's confident and calm expression, the malice that had just been born disappeared in an instant, as if it had never appeared, because their intuition told them that whoever dared to do this would definitely die ugly.
Merlin, this gentle fat man is definitely not as simple as imagined, everyone present does not know, when Merlin suddenly burst out of his strength, the outside of the castle was completely in chaos, the cattle were wailing uneasily, snakes and rats burrowed out of the hole and fled frantically, and the sun in the sky was suddenly swallowed by darkness, although it was only for a moment, but almost all the creatures within a radius of hundreds of skills were afraid.
It was as if God had suddenly descended on the land.
In a certain palace, a Lori is destroying the food in front of her, the food like a hill is crazy to decrease, her stomach is like a bottomless pit that will never be filled, and at this time she suddenly stopped moving, pouted and said: "Show what, wait for me to finish eating and go out to abuse you..."
……
Merlin's hideous expression disappeared, he looked at the staggering nobles, and a gentle smile resurfaced on his chubby face and said: "Since the adults do not object, then we will make up our minds, and all the nobles, knights, and adults in the kingdom can participate in this king election activity, as long as he pulls out the long sword, no matter who he is, he can become the king!" ”
The nobles looked at each other, and finally reluctantly chose to compromise and left one by one.
When everyone left, Igrein, who had been silent, looked at Merlin and said, "Are you sure it's okay to do this?" Is Tolia really the prophesied king? ”
"Hehe, of course, when did my prophecy go wrong? Just wait and see, when Toria pulls out the sword in the stone, it will be when she is crowned king, and she will definitely be a great king..."Merlin said after bowing to Igrein, and then her body became blurred and faded away: "But Iglain, I warn you, even if you are Toria's mother, you can't recognize her, and when she becomes king, you can throw off the chains and shackles that bind you and go to find what you want." ”
"......" watched Merlin disappear, and a smile appeared on Igrein's beautiful face, but this smile was full of bitterness: "Chains? Yoke? I'll never get rid of these things..."
……
At the back of a certain manor, a blonde boy wields an iron sword in his hand, an ordinary action he has done millions of times, and he exercises himself every day to fight for the dream in his heart.
"Tolia..."Merlin's voice came, the boy stopped moving, then wiped the sweat on his face with a towel, turned to Merlin who suddenly appeared and smiled and said, "Teacher, is the meeting over?" ”
"Well, of course, you are still so diligent today, then again, you are about to give birth, and soon you will be sixteen years old, time flies really fast." Merlin looked at the girl in front of him, his eyes were full of love, he touched the girl's head and said.
Artoria was not disgusted by Merlin's touch, but closed her eyes and enjoyed it very much: "Teacher, will I be able to become a knight after I am sixteen years old?" I've been looking forward to this day for a long time. ”
"Huh, knight? The teacher has prepared a better gift for you, and we will go to London on Christmas Day, and it will be a big celebration..."
"Celebration? What kind of celebration? Can I get out of here? The girl was stunned for a moment, then looked at Merlin in front of her and said with some excitement, she hadn't left this manor for a long time, she didn't expect that on the day of her birth, Merlin would take her to London!
"It's a very grand celebration, because on that day the prophesied king will be born, and you will witness this moment in history, are you happy?"
"Of course! I've been preparing for this day! ”
Merlin smiled at Artoria's serious expression, and as he smiled, he looked into the distance, where there was a sword stuck in a boulder...
The time has finally come, have you slept enough?
