"What has Char been doing in that tool room for the last few days?" Isabel said.

On the streets of the imperial capital, Alicia walked around the morning market with Isabel in her arms, choosing today's ingredients.

Her curse has been lifted, so it's not good to walk down the street with her true face, so Char makes her a magic prop.

It was a large cape with a hat, and when she put it on, Alicia was an ordinary-looking ordinary Celtic.

Char also cast a spell on Isabelle, and except for a few people in the castle, everyone who heard her voice would only think it was an ordinary cat meow.

The streets are bustling with people, the morning market vendors are selling their wares, everything from fish to meat and all kinds of vegetables.

In the past, you could even buy souvenirs from all over the country, and it would be ten times more prosperous than it is now.

However, now that the sea route has been affected by the war, it can only sell some farm goods near the imperial capital.

"Who knows." Alicia bowed her head and said, "What he does never tells me. ”

Isabel looked up at her, as if sensing Alicia's loss, and she spoke.

"He's not the kind of guy who will show his heart, even the closest person."

"I know." Alicia said.

"Since he doesn't come to you, you can go to him." Isabel said.

Alicia raised her eyelids, "You didn't mean to make me decent."

Isabel sighed helplessly, "You really have been in the palace for a long time, like a canary kept in a cage, and it can't even fly after being released."

What you mean by this means that if he doesn't come to you, you won't look for him? ”

"Isn't it?" Alicia said.

Isabel gave her a blank look, "I'm asking you to pay attention to the occasion, aren't you going to find a place where there is no one else, just the two of you?" ”

Where it's just the two of us?

For some reason, Alicia remembered the time they had been in the hot springs together not long ago.

She pursed her lips and lowered her head slightly, but there were no words, and her expression did not change.

"Extra! Extra! ”

In the distance, a little newsboy ran through the streets of the morning market waving a newspaper in his hand, nimbly navigating through the flow of people.

"Empress Isabel is unwell, and Prince Victor will be appointed and dismissed as regent and will be in charge of all government affairs!"

Alicia looked up and called out to the newsboy.

"Give me a newspaper!"

"Okay." The newsboy skillfully pulled out a newspaper from the backpack behind him and handed it to Alicia.

After Alicia handed the money to the newsboy, she opened the newspaper and read it carefully, and Isabel also read it carefully.

"It seems that they really don't dare to announce my disappearance."

Isabel sighed, "It's normal, after all, my father has just died, and the new emperor will disappear in a few days, and anyone will panic." ”

The rest of the newspaper was similar to what they had assumed.

"Look here." Alicia gestured to a corner of the newspaper.

Isabel looked in the direction Alicia was pointing, her eyes slightly frozen, and it was written a time.

"The ceremony of appointing and dismissing the regent will take place tomorrow at 10 a.m. in the Cathedral of Britannia, and will be appointed and dismissed by Supreme Bishop Puni, and all citizens will be able to attend."

Isabel's face showed a touch of anger, "But the appointment and dismissal of a regent, there is even an appointment and dismissal ceremony, and the supreme bishop appoints and dismisses him, does he really regard this as if he is already an emperor?" ”

"The Supreme Bishop agreed to such a thing?" Alicia was also surprised.

"Hmph." Isabel sneered, "There is a nest of snakes and rats, the power of the church has been gradually weakening over the years, Puni has been trying to find a way to restore the prestige of the church, and Victor must have given some promises." ”

Alicia thought for a moment, then raised her head and said, "Then let's go and see it together tomorrow." ”

"What's so nice about this." Isabel said angrily, "Are you going to get angry there?" ”

"To see who's there, I think it's important for you to go ahead as well." Alicia said.

After a pause, she continued, "To be honest, I think it's a good thing that you've been out of the palace for a while, the power structure inside the palace is too complicated.

Father and mother are trapped, and as Char said, if you stay any longer, the whirlpool there will swallow you too.

Jump out, but you will see it more clearly.

Victor does have a certain amount of ability militarily, and you can't command him.

Instead of internal friction, let others sit back and enjoy the results, let him take power, and maybe better concentrate on facing this war. ”

Isabel fell silent and fell into thought.

"Bell! Clang! Clang! ”

In the tool room of the castle, there was a sound of knocking one after another.

Char held a red-hot sword embryo with pliers in one hand and placed it on the anvil, while the other hand held the hammer and tapped rhythmically.

The tool room is the space reserved by Char when she moved, and it is the utility room of the original house.

There are a lot of materials for crafting magic items, but they're actually things that can be found everywhere.

For example, wire, hammers, nails, leather, etc., there are many types.

This place was cleaned up once by Alicia, and before that it was not much better than a garbage dump.

The mystery of this world is declining, so Char basically can't find any good magic materials, but he believes that there will be one in the future.

Therefore, the sword that Char is forging does not actually use any special materials, just synthetic steel forged according to the knowledge in his mind.

Of course, the real role of this sword is to choose the king, and the power is secondary.

Yes, what he is building now is the sword in the stone.

Arthur's sword in stone is destined to be broken in the future, and his real weapon is an even more powerful sword in the lake.

Although Char hadn't figured out where this Lake Sword would come from until now, fortunately, he could still handle it with the Stone Sword.

With his tapping, the sparks bloomed in all directions, and Char chanted some permanent additional incantations in his mouth.

The spells appeared on the red-hot sword, and were finally hammered into the body of the sword by Char, and then vanished.

These spells will make the sword sharper, tougher, and will also give the user a blessing of strength.

Finally, a point of light appeared in Char's hand, it was the power of fate, and he injected that point of light into the sword, attaching a kind of fate to it.

A string of inscriptions appeared on the sword, which roughly translated: "Whoever can pull this sword from the stone platform is the King of Destiny of Britannia." ”

The one who draws this sword will no longer grow old until his fate ends.

After all this, the shape of the sword was gradually revealed, and the body of the sword was very ornately carved, embellished with gold and precious stones.

Char grabbed the hilt of the sword and lifted it, the blade was very weighty, after all, it was the result of three days of forging for him, fortunately, he had set up a soundproof barrier here in advance, otherwise Alicia would probably have to find it.

To be honest, he kind of liked the feeling of striking iron, and it was also a great sense of accomplishment for some irregular metals to form a beautiful work of art as he forged them.

Of course, if you strike iron every day, it's a different feeling.

Next. Just find a stone and stick it in.

However, find the right time.

One, enough time to spread the legend of this sword throughout the country.

Merlin has a very strong ability to create illusions, but he can use it to play tricks on the ghost once.
