Chapter 162: Turning the Face

What did you hear?

William once wondered if he had misheard something, but he looked at St. Patrick's serious eyes, and instantly felt that his mind was confused, what had happened in this world during the time he had traveled through the power of the Golden Coin of Destiny.

Why was King Arthur captured by the dragon.

"He" is not a princess.

King Arthur is the king, the eternal king of Britain, with the blood of the red dragon thicker than William, and is the leader of the Knights of the Round Table, such a legendary powerhouse, fighting in Avalon, his own home turf, not only did not succeed in stopping the evil dragon William, but even he was robbed by the evil dragon.

Is King Arthur's power so weak!

William was suspicious, and then asked, "The Duke of the Evil Dragon is going to marry King Arthur, is William, the Duke of the Evil Dragon, saying that he is a woman?" ”

William has too much confusion in his heart at this time, if the evil William in William's heart dominates the body, then the evil William will directly say the suggestion, "If Duke William is willing, I can marry the other party." ”

"Your Majesty, William the Evil Dragon is male, and Arthur, the King of Eternity, is female." St. Patrick's telling the truth is that this is the predicament William is now encountering.

William, as a "Roman" of the Holy Roman Empire, can also be said to be a German, is not only a complete foreigner for Britain and Ireland, but also not a nobleman himself, let alone a royal blood, which is very fatal.

Duke William was able to claim the throne of England precisely because he was related to St. Edward, the previous king of England, and King Harold was able to ascend the throne because he was a native of England, a hereditary nobleman, and had a noble blood line by marriage to the royal family.

If it weren't for William being chosen by King Arthur and giving Pendragon the surname and becoming King Arthur's heir, otherwise a foreigner like William, who was neither related to the British royal family by blood nor had noble blood, would not have been qualified to claim the British throne.

On the other hand, William's qualification for the Irish throne is not only the last prince of the dwarf elves and the successor of King Liam, but also the blessing of the Irish goddess of kingship, and now he has the coronation of St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland.

Therefore, William's current Irish throne is secure, and the claim to the throne of Britain comes from King Arthur, once King Arthur and the evil dragon William marry, it means that William loses the right to inherit the throne of Britain.

St. Patrick analyzed William's current predicament, in which he explained by the way that although the advantage of being the king of Ireland was not to use the power of Ireland against the Duchy of Normandy and the Kingdom of Britain, if William could find a suitable ally, then Ireland would be able to resist the invasion and be armed to protect itself.

St. Patrick did not have the ambition to let Ireland dominate, he knew that Ireland was too small, and that a king as powerful as Caesar or Alexander the Great was not only not a gospel for Ireland, but a disaster for Ireland.

The great feats of heroes require countless sacrifices and blood, but their own families know their own affairs, and Ireland, which is small and poor, cannot support the king's ambitions, even if it is an integral part of the empire on which the sun never sets, but it is not the main body, but a part.

"King Arthur is a girl."

William swallowed a mouthful of saliva in his throat, he didn't have the heart to listen to St. Patrick's analysis of the current room for him, how could King Arthur be a girl?

Impossible, impossible, absolutely impossible.

"How could King Arthur be a girl? Dear saint, you must be joking with me. ”

William stared at St. Patrick with wide eyes, his face full of disbelief, King Arthur could not be a girl, others did not know, how could he not be clear as a party.

King Arthur is a beautiful young man like an angel, whether it is the first time he comes to the Celtic world of Annon to meet King Arthur who incarnates the red dragon, or the second time he meets King Arthur during the jousting tournament, all he sees and knows King Arthur is an out-and-out boy.

A wise and wise king, a brave and kind knight, William even believed that if King Arthur appeared in this era, then neither Francis nor William himself would have been chosen by the Dawn of the Holy Sword to be the brave man who destroyed the dragon and saved the world.

The true brave man must be King Arthur.

Now St. Patrick tells me that King Arthur was a girl.

Don't you know that I am crowned today and officially enthroned as the king of Ireland, and I have already told the monarchs and nobles of all Europe in my letters to foreign countries that I, William Pendragon, am the rightful heir to the legendary Knight King of Britain, the "son" of King Arthur, and King Arthur is his father.

Now you tell me that my plan to admit "Daddy" has failed, and now King Arthur has changed from "Daddy" to "Mommy", and the dragon William is going to marry King Arthur, which means that the dragon William is going to be my "father".

"In fact, during Arthur's reign, he always hid his true gender and appeared as the perfect king, and the king had two bodies, and he always presented his ideal state, so during King Arthur's reign, King Arthur's subjects, as well as his enemies and allies, almost no one noticed her true gender."

St. Patrick explained that this secret is not a secret that everyone does not know, in the late reign of King Arthur, because he and Queen Gnevel have been childless for a long time, so there are already signs of suspicion, and the final identity is revealed in the Battle of the Sword Railing, which is not a secret to some people.

"Hell, I don't allow this marriage, I'm against it." William drew his sword violently, and at this time he showed righteous indignation, "I have decided, I will challenge the Duke of the Evil Dragon, I will recruit my men and horses, prepare a large army and food and grass, and go on an expedition to Britain." Hit London, the capital of England. ”

"The opposition is invalid, Your Majesty, if you want to fight, I'm afraid you can only go alone, your subordinates are homesick and don't want to fight for you, the nobles of Ireland will not be able to serve for you until next year, you don't have a direct royal territory in the Kingdom of Ireland, and if it's an active war, you can't collect war taxes." St. Patrick said calmly, "Now that the Vikings have been driven out, Ireland is in ruins, the people of Ireland are in dire straits, and the people of Ireland yearn for peace rather than war, and if a monarch fails to meet the expectations of the people, then the monarch is undoubtedly unqualified." ”

William withdrew his sword, he was not carried away by anger, he had long understood that the support of the Irish gods represented by the goddess Eliu and the ecclesiastical power represented by St. Patrick was limited to the claim to the throne of Ireland.

If they have greater ambitions, they will not invest.

Is the war potential of the Irish state on the same level as that of the principality of Normandy and the Kingdom of Norway?

Don't use the eggs to touch the stones, you can protect Ireland, it's already worth the money.

St. Patrick's words carry a warning that a qualified king should heed counsel, and that an unqualified king means that he himself is denied.

Since St. Patrick can be crowned king of Ireland, he can also be crowned someone else, and the goddess Eliu can also find a new love, and William is now at a crossroads of fate.

To save King Arthur would mean losing the support of Ireland, the Irish gods and Irish Christian saints, and giving up saving King Arthur would certainly be able to secure the throne, but William would have lost all of Britain.

"Not necessarily, I know what you think, I will become the king of Ireland, and the other person you support will become the king of Britain, but will your idea succeed?"

William laughed softly, Duke Conan of Brittania thinks about time, it seems that he is about to land in Britain, so William's value has dropped a little, although it is not to unload the mill and kill the donkey, but without the support of King Arthur, the Celtic gods really favor the Celtic Duke Conan.

The third wish he made to the Lamp Elf was really useful, to kill the "allies" on his side.

"Duke Conan also has the blessing of the Pope, the support of the King of France, and the ....... of the Byzantine Emperor," St. Patrick said in a bad tone, "The combined forces of the Eastern and Western Churches, I can imagine that there is something in this world that can be broken." ”

The Roman Church (Catholic) and the Orthodox Church used to be one, because the Roman emperor could not rule the huge empire, so the country was divided into two parts, the Eastern Roman Empire and the Western Roman Empire, so the Roman bishop (pope) and the bishop of Constantinople (archpatriarch) were the leaders of Christianity, and the Western Roman Empire collapsed, and the Roman bishop (pope), who lost his patron, crowned the Frankish king Charlemagne as the Roman emperor, thus causing the dissatisfaction of the Eastern Roman Empire (Byzantium).

Then the Holy Roman Emperor and the Byzantine Emperor, the Pope and the Patriarch, and the Pope and the Patriarch excommunicated each other, resulting in the Church splitting into two empires, just as the Roman Empire split into two empires.

The synergy of the two churches, in a sense, symbolizes the supreme authority of the Church, which can invoke the power and authority of God to the greatest extent.

"Yes." William said softly, with an ambiguous smile in his smile, calculating the time, the wish should also come true.
