Chapter 9: The Sword in the Stone (Part II)
After seeing a fluorescent light flying towards him, Zhang Xiaopang naturally wouldn't let himself be exposed so easily, so he quickly turned around and hid in another pre-arranged hiding place.
This place of refuge is much more secluded than the one just now. As long as you don't stand on this stone and deliberately look at the dead corner, you will definitely not find Zhang Xiaopang's existence.
"What is that thing going to do?"
After hiding in a hidden spot, Zhang Xiaopang quietly pulled out the technology crystal again, changed its appearance to a protective color mode, and quietly placed it in the grass next to the stone, turning on the camera function.
Then, he took out a corresponding receiving crystal from his bosom, and transmitted all the images that the technology crystal could shoot here.
Staring at the 'little fluorescence' that slowly flew to this island, Zhang Xiaopang's brows frowned slightly, and his face was full of doubts.
This humanoid 'little angel', in Zhang Xiaopang's sight, slowly fell on the tombstone on the mound, and squatted firmly above.
"Is it possible...... He's going to ......"
Seeing this scene, Zhang Xiaopang's face changed greatly, and his eyes instantly turned back to Gabriel's body, full of shock.
In the next second, the 'little angel' who stayed on the tombstone immediately confirmed the answer in his heart.
Burst!
The sword-shaped tombstone, in the crisp sound of loosening the earth, was pulled up.
Along with it, there were ten more tombstones on the mound.
At this moment, ten balls of light suddenly shone in the sky, like ten small suns, shining on the earth.
On the Flame Knight Island, both the people below and the five sages besieging above were all stunned at this moment.
Looking at the strange appearance in the sky and the eleven tombstones wrapped in the light, their faces suddenly changed.
"Who uncovered the other eleven tombstones!"
Their eyes were literally bursting with fire.
Finally, one of the Flame Knights was finally eliminated, but at the critical time, eleven more enemies of the same level came.
At the moment of pulling up, the 'little angel' suddenly dissipated into the air as if its energy had been exhausted, and there was no trace of its appearance.
The Sages were unable to even find the source of the tombstone.
"Does he want to kill everyone!"
At this moment, Zhang Xiaopang, who was hiding behind the rocks, showed such a heavy color on his face for the first time.
He knew that Gabriel was not a good thing, but he didn't know that the other party's heart would be so terrifying, and he resolutely opened the seal of the tombstone regardless of the life and death of everyone.
If there is no purpose, he will not believe it.
"That's not right! This is completely wrong! ”
However, in the next second, in the midst of thinking, Zhang Xiaopang suddenly noticed that something was wrong, and his expression was unpredictable.
"Once the seal is broken, the twelve Knights of the Round Table will be resurrected, and it will be difficult for anyone to leave here at that time, even if Gabriel has the strength of a Sage, he will not escape the fate of falling in the end."
"No matter how arrogant he is, he will never joke with his life, he is definitely ready to get himself out of trouble by doing this!"
Zhang Xiaopang suddenly fell into deep thought.
"What is it?"
What kind of backhand could allow him to escape safely from the hands of the twelve sage-level powerhouses, Zhang Xiaopang's eyes couldn't help but glance at the entrance, and thought to himself.
"The entrance is far from here, and it is more difficult to evacuate in the hands of the twelve saints than to ascend to the sky."
"Then there is only hope left for that island in the sky!"
Putting aside the factor at the entrance, Zhang Xiaopang's gaze shifted again and looked upward.
In the next second, his pupils suddenly contracted.
Just as he thought, the largest island above the twelve islands finally changed after all the twelve tombstones were removed.
The island, which is tens of thousands of kilometers in size, is rapidly beginning to shrink at a speed visible to the naked eye.
It's not getting farther and farther away, it's shrinking.
The area of just tens of thousands of kilometers has been reduced by more than 10,000 feet in just a few seconds.
10,000 hectares......
1,000 hectares......
One hundred hectares......
Ten hectares......
One hectare......
Eventually, this huge piece of land shrank tens of millions of times and merged into a large altar that fell straight down.
In an instant, it was filled in the center of the twelve islands, and there was not a single seam left in it.
"This is the real secret of the second floor of the Bronze Tower!"
The whereabouts of the altar, the people on the island of flames, their eyes widened in unison, and their eyes fell on something on the altar at the same time.
There are no flashy embellishments, and there are no wide foils.
A stone stands in the center of the altar, simple and natural. However, on this ordinary stone, which can no longer be ordinary, there is a 'gorgeous existence'.
Sword!
A magnificent golden-blue sword!
It symbolizes the grace and nobility of the royal family, the nobility of power, and the supreme power of ancient England.
Including Zhang Xiaopang, almost everyone recognized the real name of this sword at this moment.
"The Holy Sword in the Stone", the supreme artifact of Ancient England!
Legend has it that the king of ancient England, King Arthur's holy sword, when it is pulled from the stone, the person who pulls it up will become the emperor of heaven.
Like Avalon, the Sword of the Stone is also at the level of a 'god-level' relic, both in legend and reality.
If Avalon represents absolute defense and life, then the Sword of Stone represents absolute destruction and destruction.
"It's this thing!"
At this moment, Zhang Xiaopang's eyes widened, and the call in his body became stronger than ever.
He finally knew why he was being called so strongly.
There should be a sword in the scabbard, and the sword hidden in the Avalon scabbard is this 'holy sword in the stone', and the two are one existence.
Now that Avalon has already identified him as the Lord, the Lord of the Sacred Sword in the Stone will also be him!
Zhang Xiaopang was immediately relieved, if this is the case, this strong sense of summoning can be completely explained.
"No, you can't do it yet."
However, Zhang Xiaopang, who was in a state of excitement, was not carried away by this surprise, but squatted down a little more, but his mind was unprecedentedly calm.
"If I go out now, there is a good chance that the people here will think that I pulled out the tombstone, and even if I have the video as proof, I will be seized."
"You have to find the right time...... A timing that no one will doubt. ”
Zhang Xiaopang lowered his head and fell into thought.
After half a ring, he suddenly raised his head and looked in a certain direction, and the corners of his mouth outlined a mysterious smile.
"There it is!"
At the end of his line of sight was the side face of a handsome man.
The man's name was ...... Gabriel.
(PS1: The second update is complete, thank you for the tip of the end e fog, this one is added to you.) )
PS2: When this chapter comes out, someone will question me about the Sword in the Stone, and the question is usually 'Isn't Avalon the Sword of Oath Victory?' Or, "The author is brain-dead, and he actually confused the sword in the stone with the holy sword."
The author said that he was very helpless, and at first I thought so, but later I found out that this was not the case after consulting the information. In the remnants of ancient Arthurian legend, there are two versions of the origin legend of the sword. The original origin of the legend of the "Sword in the Stone" comes from the poetic magician "Merlin", and in the "Biography of Merlin" in the Latin Bible circle, it is clearly written that the sword drawn from the stone is Excalibur. However, in later versions, the sword was obtained from the Nymph of the Lake. And "The Death of King Arthur" writes both theories to produce two swords, and this setting is used as the original by Mushroom, the author of the Fate novel, so it is widely believed that there are two swords.
At the earliest, there was a "sword in the stone", and then there was a version of the "sword in the lake"; The two versions are not compatible with each other. In the end, "The Death of King Arthur" was simply written in both versions of the legend. So two swords appeared...... If you really want to talk about it, excalibur is the sword in the stone. And the Sword in the Lake is a "fanfic version".
These are what I found on the Internet and in the Shanghai Book City.
