163 Sun Knight's Challenge
The nobles and knights opposed the maiden becoming the new king, and some even left the coronation ceremony in anger and prepared to split their realms, unwilling to be ruled by an unknown person with no identity.
In the end, Merlin reveals the girl's true identity, telling everyone that she is the son of King Uther, she has the purest blood and identity, and the reason why she was given to Sir Eckert to raise her is to be able to nurture her more carefully, and her fate has been determined at birth, she is the prophesied king of Britain.
The girl has this identity and is accepted by most people.
But there are still a small number of nobles who are unwilling to accept her rule, and some knights also challenge her, the knights don't care if you are the son of King Uther or not, since you are the master of the holy sword, you must be worthy of the power of the holy sword!
Of course, the knights who challenge are also uneven, some strong and some weak, but there is one of the youngest but most powerful knights in this group of knights!
His name is Gawain, Sun Knight!
Later generations ranked first among the Knights of the Round Table, second only to the most powerful knight in strength after the 'Knight of the Lake' Lancelot, the 'Knight of Rebellion' Kaye, and the 'Knight of Guardian' Bedwell!
…… Artoria looked at the dozens of knights standing in front of her, they were all the ones who sent a duel to herself, as a knight she couldn't avoid it, because it would disgrace her, but was it too many?
For those nobles' thoughts, Artoria could guess a little, she didn't care, after all, in her consciousness she was indeed an orphan, a commoner, a lucky person, but Merlin revealed her true identity, which not only stunned others, but even the girl herself was shocked!
It turns out that he has parents, and they are also the rulers of the kingdom!
With her orthodox identity, the obstacles faced by Artoria became smaller in an instant, but there were also some people who did not give themselves face, after all, King Uther was dead, could he still crawl out of the grave? Even if you're his son, you're just a little ghost, and you don't have anything to fight us?
As for the knights, the thinking is relatively simple, since you were chosen by the holy sword as the master, then you must have extraordinary strength, to a certain extent, the knights are willing to follow the strong, not the [***] greedy noble lord, of course, it is not excluded those who abandon chivalry for money.
However, in Britain in this era, chivalry prevailed, and chivalry was pushed to the highest peak, so the knight profession was still very pure at that time, just like the leader x dry x of the sky, one generation is not as good as the generation... Now Artoria is quite embarrassed, she is afraid that the sword spirit called Lei will suddenly kill these people again, Lei Zhe gives her the feeling that she is moody, and she can't guess what she is thinking, judging from his style of acting just now, this sword spirit will definitely not be soft on killing, and will not even have sympathy!
She is not afraid of a duel, but what if Lei Zhe strikes again and kills everyone?
This is the coronation scene, not the slaughterhouse!
Artoria could only sigh in the end, and then asked for a sword from one of the guards, she accepted the invitation of the other knights to duel, but she was not prepared to use the sword in the stone, because the sword spirit gave him a terrible feeling!
"Young man, are you underestimating us? Why not use the Holy Sword?! A middle-aged knight, the oldest, in his forties, stepped forward and said, at this moment his body burst out with golden fighting energy, and he felt insulted: "Use the holy sword, otherwise you will die!" ”
"That's enough." The girl unveiled her cloak, took off the robes that were in the way, and walked towards the middle-aged knight, although she was not tall, her heroic posture and peculiarity actually caused the cheers of the commoners.
"Hey, uncle, you should go down in this duel, the gold-level fighting spirit is useless at all, it's up to me!" Artoria's familiar voice appeared, and she turned to look at the young man in white armor who had walked into the square, wasn't this Gawain who had fought with her at that time?
"What are you talking about?!" The middle-aged knight was furious, this kid was obviously despising himself!
"He's not something you can defeat, step aside, I'm doing it for your good!" Gawain walked to the center of the square step by step, and said gently, although he felt as warm as the sun, but he was merciless when he moved, he didn't even say hello to burst out his power and condense it, and then released it like a shockwave, and the target was the middle-aged knight!
Dangerous!
The intuition cultivated during the battle told the middle-aged knight that this young man who suddenly appeared was dangerous, and when he saw the shockwave that set off the square ground, he immediately released his fighting energy, trying to defend against the opponent's attack, but the power he released was much stronger than he imagined!
Touching this pale golden shockwave hit the middle-aged knight's chest, not only him, but even the dozens of knights standing beside him were also unlucky, lifted by a powerful force and then landed around the square, the armor on their bodies was deformed in their eyes when they fell to the ground, and the weapons also fell to the ground scattered, they fell to the ground and groaned in pain, and even two people fainted.
"You're sneaking up again." Artoria didn't hate Gawain, but she was still a little dissatisfied with what he did, since he was a knight, why did he always make such a move?
Gawain shrugged his shoulders and said with helplessness on his face: "My life principle is to have no affection for the enemy, and as for the kind of chivalry, I really don't have a good feeling. My dear uncle, alas, I am not accustomed to this title, you are younger than me! Forget it, let's call you Tolia, I still like the name, first of all, congratulations on becoming the master of the Holy Sword, becoming the king of Britain, and secondly, you want to complete our bet! ”
"Uncle?! Are you talking about me? Artoria was stunned at first, she really didn't expect Gawain to have this kind of relationship with her, but she immediately threw the words that made her stunned out of her mind, because she cared more about Gawain's later words: "Bet, do you want to complete it here?" ”
"Of course, right here! In the presence of everyone, complete the bet between us! What better place to be? And you have become the owner of the holy sword, I can use all my strength, you must know that I have rarely used this sword since I got it, but this time I should be able to have a good fight, there are not many opportunities like this! Gawain smiled, and then pulled out the long sword at his waist, a long sword that was also golden, but the sword of this long sword flowed with golden light, as hot and dazzling as the sun in the sky!
Seeing the golden long sword, the waists of several people present trembled, Kaye and Lancelot glanced at each other, they didn't expect to meet a person with a holy sword here, and Bedwell looked at the two people in the field, and said softly: "Is this the arrangement of fate?" Four of the twelve holy swords have appeared here, what a lot of fun..."After saying that, he held his sword, the trembling, low, and majestic cyan long sword!
…… Artoria accepted Gawain's challenge, but she didn't use the sword in the stone, because she really felt that she couldn't control the sword, although she didn't hate the cold-looking sword spirit, but for some reason she didn't want him to do that kind of action again, and she always felt a complicated feeling emerged.
“… Aren't you going to use your own holy sword? Gawain's brow furrowed, he also thought that Artoria's approach was a bit overbearing, and he was also dissatisfied.
The girl shook her head and said calmly to Gawain, "I can have a fair duel with you even if I don't use this sword!" ”
"You're really making me angry, I'll say it again, draw your sword!"
"No!"
"In that case, then you should die!" Gawain shouted, and all his fighting energy surged in an instant, and the golden flame-like energy attached to him, making him look like a burning sun.
The holy sword 'Wheel Victory' in Gawain's hand emitted a dazzling light, and at this moment Artoria had an illusion, this sword actually stretched infinitely, and then plunged straight into her chest with scorching heat, at this moment she actually had a feeling that she couldn't dodge, and just watched the long sword pierce into her chest.
"If you die, I'll be very troubled..."Artoria heard the calm, though only a few times, when the black armor wrapped in muddy smoke suddenly appeared, blocking the golden sword, blocking Gawain's almost fatal blow!
Lei Zhe floated behind Artoria, his figure except for the girl's accident, only Merlin alone could see, and Gawain only knew that his attack was blocked by some unknown force, but he did not give up, the completely actinized holy sword in his hand was thrown through the air like a whip, and slashed at Artoria.
A shield appeared out of thin air, floating above Artoria, and the actinic 'Rotating Sword of Victory' struck the shield, except for making the shield shake and not shatter, this time making many people stunned.
Let's not talk about where that shield came from, but with the power of a holy sword, it can't be destroyed, what the hell is going on? Could it be that this shield that looks like a tortoiseshell is on the same level as the holy sword?
“… Are you afraid of me? Lei Zhe's hand rested on the girl's arm, moved her right hand, and finally placed it on the hilt of the sword in the stone, and then whispered: "If you are afraid, learn to control me, maybe under your control I will not do anything excessive or make you sad." ”
"My name is Thunder, a sword spirit, a sword spirit who will definitely protect you!" In the midst of Lei Zhe's words, Artoria drew the holy sword, and at this moment, the crazy power burst out, sweeping the entire square like a whirlwind!
