Chapter 80: St. Edward
In the narrow church, Duke William and the Holy King fought each other.
The long sword and the long sword were handed over to each other, and the holy sword drawn out by the saint king slashed straight at Duke William's shoulder, which was a lightning attack, and Duke William's thousand-tempered sword skills were used instantly, just like a physical instinct, no need to think, no retreat, no evasion of the power of the holy sword, striding forward, without any scruples, attacking the saint who countless believers in Christendom are exemplary.
Seeing that the attack was ineffective, the Saint King gave up the assault and attacked directly into the blade of Duke William's sword, a weapon made by a mortal craftsman could not have the power of a holy sword in any case.
"My sword of love, I give you the attribute of continuation, the steel of immortality, if my heart does not give in, the sword cannot be broken, shine!"
Duke William saw that the sword of the saint king changed from attacking his body to his long sword, snorted coldly, uttered a spell on his mouth, and applied a speech spirit to his matching sword, and the blades of the sword intertwined and collided with fire.
With a bang, the shining brilliance of the holy sword instantly dimmed, and Duke William didn't care about the power of the holy sword, grabbed the blade of the holy sword with his hand, and then pulled away and slashed towards the body of the saint king.
Rumble!
The Saint King looked at the long sword stuck in his body, and the hand of Duke William who grabbed his holy sword covered in blood, and took a deep breath, "Cousin, you are really hard. ”
"Cousin Edward, it seems like you wanted to kill me just now."
William put down his sword, pulled out a white cloth to wrap his scarred hand, and nodded slightly to the sage king in front of him.
The saint king in front of him is none other than the former king of England, the current patron saint of England, St. Edward the Confessor, and he is also the cousin of Duke William.
"If you don't have the strength, you'd better not worry about the royal power of England and Britain."
St. Edward said nonchalantly, he drew the sword in his body, the wound in his chest was recovering little by little, even after leaving England, in Christendom, the saint as a model believer still has great power, is with God, enjoying eternal life.
"King Arthur is connecting with the Celtic gods, and at the same time the patron saint of Ireland, St. Patrick, is not kind to you, as soon as the festival of Sahain is over, they will introduce a new dragon slayer, my dear cousin William, time is running out for you."
The halo above St. Edward's head was exceptionally bright, and in the church it was like a small artificial sun enveloping the entire church, Duke William withdrew his sword, and his cousin St. Edward was the biggest contributor to his conquest of Britain and the title of King of England.
St. Edward, the former king of England, although there is no great achievement in history, but during the king's tenure, he believed in Christ and supported the church, Christ had appeared to him, and the holy apostle John the Baptist personally showed him a miracle, because of his piety, so he won the title of "penitent", and after his death, he was ranked as a saint, and was posthumously canonized as a saint by the church, and he was the patron saint of the country of England.
Generally speaking, as long as you reach the second order, complete the great feats that are difficult for humans to achieve, and become a legend, then you can obtain the title, whether it is Liam's "Escapee" or Francis's "Dragon Slayer" is one of countless titles, but among the countless titles, only the words with Christian overtones are the most glorious and powerful.
King Edward of England and King Louis of France received the "penitents" and "pious ones" as gifts from the church, reflecting the great contribution of a king to Christendom, and the rules of the Kabbalah tree of life are the rules made by God and the rules of Christendom, so the title of the church is often more glorious and powerful than the title of the same rank.
"Of course I know that I am determined to win the kingship of Britain, I have the banner of Michael, I have the army summoned by the magic knapsack, I have your help, the Pope has given me the banner of the Holy Cross, and the emperor has given me political support, and victory is a matter of course for me."
Duke William said as a matter of course, "As an illegitimate child, with the support of the nobles, I succeeded to the throne as a duke at the age of seven, but I became a puppet, my three guardians were assassinated by important ministers, and my respected governess was also assassinated, and the nobles of the principality wanted only a puppet duke, so I was absolutely not allowed to take power, full of wings, even if it was a duke, my life was like duckweed in the water, I don't know when it will be completely over." ”
"However, God never forsaken me, and I was recognized by the Dawn of the Holy Sword, and during the time I was overthrown by the nobles of the principality, I completed the feat of slaying the dragon, gained a great deal of wealth, and finally put down the rebellious nobles with the help of the power of the king. Although I have only recently been knighted by His Holiness, I have come to understand my mission. ”
Duke William said calmly that his greatest advantage now was the patron saint of England, St. Edward was his cousin and a supporter of his succession, Edward's mother was William's aunt, and the relationship between the two was quite close, and he had lived in Normandy since he was a child before becoming king of England, and he was more of a Norman than a Saxon.
He recounted all the bitterness he had experienced over the years, from a puppet duke who would be killed by a powerful minister at any time to replace him, to now in power, intending to land in the British Isles and become king, everything was like a dream.
"It's not a matter of course, William, there will be obstacles in your path, and you have several contenders, but I would prefer you to be the king of England."
St. Edward calmly poured a basin of cold water down, as young people always do, thinking that their own ambition and ambition are their own ability, especially a successful monarch, and blindly believing in their own strength.
Arrogance, this is the trigger for failure.
The current King of England Harold is also his younger brother, and also has the right to inherit the throne of England, the current Kingdom of Denmark is extremely strong, the King of Denmark with the assistance of the great magician Andersen, has also claimed the throne of England, and the King of Norway has claimed the right to inherit the throne of England, and the Celts also seem to want to support a king.
It's the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, no, it's basically a melee of the nations like the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
"My dear cousin, do you know the blessings I have received? It is fate that the evil dragon will only die at the hands of the dragon slayer, but the wish I made is that I will die at the hands of the dragon slayer who is stronger than me, so unless the one who is destined to die, I am truly immortal. ”
Duke William chuckled, full of confidence in himself.
The dragon will only be killed by the dragon slayer, it is a prophecy of fate, but he has a blessing, a blessing that only those who are stronger than him will be killed.
