Flags fluttered above the round table, a biting cold wind blew through the stone path, and a man in a cloak stepped into the basement, the heavy iron door closing behind him.

He sat on a high-backed stone bench, and the attendant lit the candle on the table.

"Percival, you're late."

Sitting on the throne, Arthur opened his eyes and swept towards the figure in the candlelight.

"I was paying my respects to Eckert when I received the news, and it took me some time on the way back." Eleven knights Percival said.

Arthur nodded, not blaming him, but rattling the bell and announcing the meeting begin.

"We discussed the cause of Eckert's death and the change in the situation at our last meeting, and we have summoned you urgently today because of a major incident in Port Roselaire."

Arthur said in a deep voice: "According to the information brought back by Kai, the port of Roselier has been occupied by a monster, and even the garrison of Roselier is under the control of the Le monster, and the goddess of health of the Church of the Three Goddesses of Destiny Wilder has not been able to kill the other party.... The situation is out of control. ”

There was silence in the dark room, and there was a faint sound of breathing, everyone knew the importance of the garrison of Roselair, having lost them....

also lost the capital to confront the royal capital.

Even today, when the gods came, the army was the greatest force in the hands of the Knights of the Round Table.

"Originally, I wanted to nominate Captain Podel Wellesley to succeed my uncle and become the next Eckert, but now I'm afraid this plan will have to be put on hold for the time being." Arthur said, "We can't afford to lose the Roselier Army, so no matter what, get the Army back under our control." ”

Ding Ding Ding!

The second knight rang the bell and gave his opinion: "Monsters? What monster can beat a goddess with millions of followers? Is this kind of enemy something we can shake? Kai, what happened tonight? We need to know the details! ”

With Arthur's eyes agreeing, the ninth knight Kai stood up and told him what he had witnessed through 1510, and after listening...

Ding Ding Ding!

Ding Ding Ding!

The rattle bell rang one after another, and everyone held back their doubts.

"Who's in the fight tonight? Are they enemies? ”

"Wild, the goddess of health, said that someone would take away the monsters in Roslais Harbor, does that mean the third-party forces who shot tonight?"

"Form a new organization, the Witchers, to fight the awakened transcendents? Could it be that monsters like the Rosesley Harbor will continue to appear? ”

Winter, winter, winter!

Arthur slammed the table, overpowering all the noise, his face tensed, and he said in a serious tone: "These questions will be answered in the future, there is no point in discussing now, we have to respond quickly and adapt to the situation!" ”

"Your Highness, what do you want to do?" The second knight asked.

"If the prophecy of the goddess of health, Wilder, is accurate, then the monsters of Rosely's port will not be a threat, the only question is whether the other party will take the army, this matter is not something we can control." Arthur said with a straight face: "In view of the current situation, the existence of the transcendent is extremely important, so some of us must obtain the power of the gods to fight against possible changes in the future!" ”

"But... Our only ally seems to be the Church of Truth. ”

Perhaps because of his uneasiness, the twelfth knight who spoke forgot the bell and said in a weak voice: "If you want to gain the power of the gods, you must become a believer, and you must not be a false believer on the surface, you must truly believe in it..."

This alone restricts many people with ill intentions.

Everyone understands, so no one has raised the matter of becoming a believer before.

If it's not for the special conditions, who doesn't want to get great power?

"I'll come."

Grabbing the bell on the table, the eleventh knight, Parcival, stood up with a smile: "I am willing to become a believer in the Church of Truth and receive the gift of the goddess." ”

"If you are a true believer in the truth, I think Father Mavi will give you strength..."

Arthur took a deep breath, "Can you do it, Percival?" ”

"I don't know, but I'm willing to give it a try."

"Or... There is one more way. The Chief Knight Lancelot rang the bell and said in a strange-sounding voice, "We have a believer who has received the gift of the goddess to inherit the title of Eckert and become the sixteenth Knight of the Round Table." ”

No one agreed, no one opposed, and everyone was thinking about the feasibility of this matter.

"This matter will be discussed later, every Knights of the Round Table is strictly screened, and unless there is no other choice, no doubtful person can be allowed to join." Arthur shook his head: "Percival, then please." ”

"Understood."

"That's all for today...."

Just as Arthur was about to announce his dissolution, the chief knight Lancelot suddenly knocked on the table and asked softly, "Arthur, do you want to marry Yin Fulin, the holy daughter of the Church of the Three Goddesses of Fate?" ”

As soon as they heard this, the knights who were about to leave their seats immediately sat back, half out of curiosity, half out of... Watching a play.

"Lancelot, the matter about Yin Fulin was discussed at the last meeting."

"But this time I'm asking you if you want to marry Yin Fulin, I'm asking you about your choice!" There was not much respect in Lancelot's voice, but a hint of anger mixed with it.

"I don't want to, but I have to, it's the best way to save everyone, just make a little sacrifice."

"Sacrifice... It's so easy to say...."

Lancelot sneered: "Is your life only about sacrifice? ”

"I'm not fighting alone, Lancelot, you know that."

"I don't have much more to say."

Lancelot got up and left, and without looking back, entered the stone path behind the iron gate.

The knights looked at each other, and seeing that Arthur's face was not very good-looking, they hurriedly walked away and quickly disappeared.

A few minutes later, only Arthur and the second knight who sat in his seat, Gawain, were left in the dark room.

"Your Highness, you shouldn't treat Lancelot like this." Gawain said, "She gave up her honor and followed you to New Ross at all costs, for... It's not just loyalty. ”

"I know, Gawain, I know...."

Rubbing his eyebrows, Arthur breathed a deep sigh of relief: "I understand what she wants, and I'm happy to do that, if I'm willing to give up all this, of course I can fulfill her wish, but I can't, do you understand?" ”

Gao Wen nodded: "Yes, what you follow is completely different from what she follows, and sooner or later there will be conflicts." ”

"What you want to gain, you have to lose, and no one is exempt." Arthur raised his head and regained his usual composure: "Love cannot extinguish the flame of revenge in my heart, on the contrary, love seems to me to be insignificant, and those who pursue great causes must not be hindered by emotion!" ”
