Chapter 136: The situation in this kingdom is somewhat delicate

Even Nana knew that the Arthur in front of her was no longer the same as the legendary King Arthur, because Wang Cheng's original impression of King Arthur was based on some film and television works or comics adapted from the legend of King Arthur in the real world.

These film and television works or comics have a premise when creating the character of King Arthur, that is, King Arthur is a great king.

So if King Arthur was not the king, and Arthur who did not draw the sword in the stone and became the king, would the image of the character still be the same as the original? Will what he cares about, what he pursues, still be the same as the original?

As the saying goes, not in his position, not in his politics, the current Arthur is just an ordinary person who inherited his adoptive father's estate in Kemilot, because he can't inherit the throne, so there is no way to disclose to the public that he is the illegitimate son of the previous king, this secret, although in fact, most of the lords in the kingdom know, but it is just a talking point that may be used when it can be used.

Even Wang Cheng, who doesn't know much about the history of this kingdom, can understand why Arthur, who was originally fostered in a noble home, has become what he is now.

Arthur's father, Wang Cheng didn't know what his name was, he was a king, and he had no heirs, no matter which feudal country he was, it was a cause of chaos, if there was no official heir to the throne de jure, then after the king died, whoever became the king next would have the final say.

And the status of illegitimate children, in the real world, even in a very open modern society, is very low, let alone in a feudal society, that is to say, if you don't pull out the sword in the stone, then Arthur is not enough to become a king in terms of law or strength.

So Arthur, who didn't have time to enter this world and missed the opportunity to pull out the sword in the stone, is now living as an ordinary person in this house, living with an ordinary woman named Teresa, at least in Wang Cheng's opinion, he is quite satisfied.

So why is it that even an outsider, Liadrin, can become a king after pulling out the sword in the stone?

Although Wang Cheng didn't know what the legend in the real world was, in this world, Wang Cheng still had a guess about the phenomenon of Liadline becoming the queen.

That is, Liadrin, who drew the sword in the stone, is considered to have inherited Merlin's will in the kingdom's mage association, so she has the support of all mages.

No matter what Merlin's true identity is and what his true strength is, in the eyes of the mages of this world, he is similar to the existence of Confucius in country Z in the real world where Wang Cheng is located.

Because it is because of the magic knowledge that he passed down that the magic of this world has developed to the present, that is to say, Merlin is the teacher of all the mages in this kingdom.

In a world of magic, magic is a very powerful force, not to mention that the city of Kemilot, located on the cliffs, can only be reached with the help of airships, and the people who make the power core of airships are those magicians.

So although all the lords in the kingdom are against Liadlin becoming the queen in their hearts, no one will be the first to stand up and oppose it, so in the end it has become such an embarrassing situation.

But even if Confucius is really alive, it can't really affect the change of the throne, and the main reason for Liadline to succeed to the throne is because the lords everywhere are not ready for war.

So it led to Liaderin's succession, and the lords of various places surfaced their agreement, but the power of Kemilot was completely isolated in the entire kingdom, and now ten years have passed, and the lords of various places have almost prepared, and the opinions of the Mage Association seem to have been almost touched, judging from the fact that the men in the village of the merchant Merlin were recruited, the lords of all places have been gearing up for a long time.

Regarding this, the information that Wang Cheng got from Abby on the airship before can prove that all the reforms and decrees of Liadelin have no way to get out of Kemillot City, and the so-called Queen Liadline is actually just a Queen of Kemilot.

So this kingdom is now in a very delicate situation, the lords of various places have also felt the dark tide surging, and they have begun to prepare, plus Liadelin has not appeared for a long time, it seems that after leaving a set of guidelines to govern the country, it has never appeared again, and now Kemillot is being governed by a council, in Wang Cheng's opinion, the current situation in Kemilot is a bit like a constitutional monarchy in the real world.

However, although after ten years of changes, the status of the commoners in Kemilot City has also improved a lot, but even the people of Kemilot have not changed their minds about the supremacy of royal power.

The current situation in this kingdom is like an active volcano that can erupt at any time, and perhaps the slightest accident will lead to unimaginable riots, and the war will spread throughout the kingdom until the next king ascends the throne.

Because the transformation of feudal society into a democratic society is actually a very complex and long process, with the current situation in the world, it is not enough to truly end the feudal system, so in this case, Wang Cheng thought of a very interesting historical figure he had seen in the library before.

That is a historical figure in country Z in the real world where Wang Cheng is located, Wang Mang who usurped the Han Dynasty.

At that time, the introduction of Wang Mang in the book was: At the end of Wang Mang's reign, the world was in turmoil. In the fourth year of the new Mang Emperor, the first army invaded Chang'an, Wang Mang died in the chaos, and the new dynasty perished. Wang Mang reigned for 15 years and died at the age of 69, and the new dynasty became one of the shortest-lived dynasties in Chinese history.

The reason for this is that Wang Cheng believes that firstly, Wang Mang is only a member of the Wang family, a relative of the Western Han Dynasty, and is not the orthodox heir of the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and secondly, after Wang Mang succeeded to the throne, he did not first consolidate his own political power, and began to implement the reform regardless of the limitations of the times and the actual situation at that time.

How similar this is to Liadeline, and how similar is it to the situation in this world, now that Liadelin I has been on the throne for ten years, then according to Wang Mang's example, in a few years, even if Nana does not appear, to add a fire, the world will enter the war in a few years.

I just don't know how much face Nana's identity in this world Merlin has, and when she can't make a move, she will put Arthur on the throne from the beginning.

Because the current Arthur does not have any advantages, and the previous sword in the stone is gone, looking at the situation in this room, he does not look like he has troops and subordinates, Wang Cheng suddenly shuddered, and an ominous premonition came to his heart.

Could it be that Nana wants me to help Arthur bring down the whole kingdom?

Because lunch was ready, Arthur stopped talking to everyone outside the house, and beckoned Wang Cheng and the others to come into the house.

In fact, although Arthur is not a king, but in fact, life is good, the house looks a little dilapidated from the outside, it is estimated that the reason is that this house is too big, it should have been the residence of the entire family of a nobleman, and now it depends on the situation that only Arthur and Teresa live, and there are no servants, so this situation will occur.

However, neither Wang Cheng nor Qianmian needed to eat, so after sitting down, he just pretended, Wang Cheng was drinking and eating with Arthur, and kept talking to Nana in his mind.
