"Human Emperor? Maybe you can be more explicit. The chief guard turned to look at Lawrence: "The Human Emperor is indeed great, but the Human Emperor is no longer on this shijie." What the hell are you trying to say?"

"The Emperor of People has never left this shijie. Lawrence walked over gently: "Maybe the story of the Excalibur is too far away for you, as far away as a myth, like a legend, and you will even question whether it really ever existed. But I have to tell you, my lords. The Radiant Cross Excalibur has always been real!"

"I believe that the story of Aragorn knows better than me, the Nordo. A wandering knight who didn't know the origin of the sword, in Issos pulled out a divine sword that no one could pull out - the sword called the Radiant Cross, which was worshiped by all the knights as the lord and became the uncrowned king of the human race, over there is the human emperor, all the human lords are united under his command, and his army is invincible and invincible!" Lawrence said eloquently: "This human emperor once made a pact with Noldor and the dwarves of the Black Rock Basin, and passed away soon after. ”

"The glorious cross of the past will come back to the world and choose a new human emperor. Lawrence said, "I implore you to be patient, for at dawn tomorrow, Excalibur will appear!"

"Aha! an elven prophet!" the head of the guard raised the corners of his mouth, "What you said is indeed quite exciting, but it seems that there is no tangible evidence?"

"Pendragon Family Genealogy Table. Lawrence said softly, and took out a small scroll from the collar of his clothes: "A great prophet gave me, which clearly records all the lineages of the Pendragon family from the beginning of their ancestors in Aragon to the present day, I dare say that this is the clearest lineage table in the whole Shijie!"

"Aragorn?!The Pendragon family is a descendant of the Human Emperor?!" Terenus exclaimed, "What the hell is going on, didn't the Human Emperor pass away?!"

"Judging from the genealogical chart, the founding emperor of the Holy Pander Empire inherited a matrilineal surname, not a human emperor—the exact reason for which you must know better than I am as an outsider. Lawrence held the scroll aloft and gently stepped up the stairs and placed it in front of Helena: "Now it is back to its rightful owner, Your Highness!"

Helena trembled, solemnly took the scroll that looked a little short, and gently unfolded it, and on the "paper" made of silk, it was clear that the many branches and main lineages of the Pendragon family had been passed down from her ancestors, and the clarity was even more complete than the thick parchment she had read in the palace--although there were only names, and there was no detailed introduction.

"It's true. Helena's lips trembled, and her blue eyes flashed with water: "The genealogy of the Pendragon family is really absolutely incorrect!"

"Since this is the case, then everything is clear. The chief of the guard took the opportunity to stand up: "The Excalibur does exist, and we don't have to dispute over who is the orthodox, my lords." By tomorrow morning, everything will go back hundreds of years ago, whoever can pull out the Excalibur will be the real Human Emperor, who will be the true descendant of Aragon, and the family that once swore allegiance to the Human Emperor will also be loyal to the owner of the Excalibur!"

Seeing the disapproving expressions of the lords around him, Theodore shrugged his shoulders and patted Elendil on the shoulder behind him: "Let's go, it seems that there is nothing for us here." ”

Before he could take a step, a slender but powerful palm grabbed him by the collar, dragged him to the back of the crowd, whispered a few words, and disappeared without a trace.

"Caesar?" Elendil ran over and asked nervously, "What happened, why did you suddenly go back and forget something?"

"It's all right!" Theodore smiled, his eyes rolling around, "Everything is normal, nothing happened, don't make a fuss, this is Haringos, my castle!" With that, he was the first to walk out of the castle gate and out into the garden outside.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

After Theodore took possession of the baths of Haringos Castle, he was converted into a large Romanesque bath by his "royal" architects, with not only circular pools of varying temperatures, but also steam baths. In the bath, which was covered with glazed marble floors, the steam was so thick that even the figures could not be distinguished.

Theodore cautiously opened the bathroom door, holding a silver tray with a flask and glasses, surveyed the room carefully, and closed the door gently with his heels.

"You arrived on time, Lord Theodore Julian. A familiar voice came from the steam, making Theodore smile knowingly, and walked over with the tray, only to find that there was no one there.

Just as he was about to turn his head, the cold pain in the back of his neck stopped him, and his voice was still so cold: "But I won't be as careless as last time." ”

"The bathroom wasn't a suitable meeting place for both of us...... Especially in the dead of night. Theodore smiled: "Sibea Ardalia, my dear ranger!"

"Do you know what kind of person in Rome would have a secret tryst in the bathroom?" Not caring about the dagger on the back of his head, Theodore calmly turned around with a provocative smile on his face: "Of course it's a lover!"

Seeing the blush on the other party's face, Theodore sat down generously, poured a glass of wine and handed it over: "Tell me, you must have something important coming to me so late." ”

"Of course!" Sibea snatched her glass and took a sip of the sweet, dark red drink to hide her embarrassment, "Remember the prophet Malcius?"

"Of course, I remember that it was he who cured Helena of the plague. Theodore did not notice the girl's expression darkened when she saw him mention the name, and replied solemnly: "I guess the prophet that Lawrence spoke of this morning must be him." ”

"The Prophet is not only in charge of prophecy, he is also the guardian of Excalibur. Sibeia gently put down her glass, sat down opposite Theodore, and said, "But if you want to take out the Excalibur, you need one more thing - the Sword Drawing Stone of the Radiant Cross, and only that kind of thing can take out the Excalibur that the Prophet has sealed in his body!"

"I remember Helena talking about this thing. Theodore looked at Sibea and said, "It seems to be an altar-like thing in the holy palace of Issos." ”

"I don't know what the altar you are talking about, but it seems that you have understood. Sibeia nodded: "It's just a genealogical scroll, the prophet of Malcius can steal it with the Transfiguration, but the sword drawing stone can't." Both the Great Druid and Master Yi of the Sword have already traveled to Issos with the Prophet. ”

"It must have been going well, or Lawrence wouldn't have said it so confidently. Theodore smiled and nodded: "I understand, in this way, Noldor will no longer owe anything, you only need to fulfill one more promise to the Human Emperor." ”

"If you understand it that way, that's fine. Sibea replied, "But if you want to get the Radiant Cross, it's not as easy as you think. The liliang that this sword has is something you have never heard of, it is the liliang who can really command shijie!"

"I'm sorry, but I've seen too many unheard of things in the past while. Prophecies, pestilences, and sorcery. Theodore rolled his eyes and said disapprovingly, "Another invincible sword doesn't seem to be a big deal!"

Seeing the female ranger's increasingly dark face, Theodore wisely closed his mouth: "Okay, you say." ”

"The Radiant Cross has three kinds of liliang - courage, victory, and fearlessness. To put it simply, as long as you hold the Excalibur in your hand, you can give these three emotions to everyone around you. On the other hand, if you want to pull out the Excalibur, you must also have all three kinds of liliang!"

According to the Prophet, most of the knights who drew their swords had only the first type - they did not believe that they could draw their swords, but only relied on the courage of their hearts not to fear life or death. And the reason why Aragorn was able to succeed was because he firmly believed that he could definitely succeed, so he pulled out the divine sword and became the emperor of men. ”

In other words, what he has is 'victory'. Theodore muttered, "Wait! Didn't you just say that you have to have three kinds of liliang?"

"No, as long as you can meet three conditions. Sibeya shook her head: "Actually, when the divine sword was forged, it was the gods who had left who wanted to unite those who possessed it, so they attached three kinds of liliang to a sword. ”

"But why are you telling me this?" Theodore sat up and looked curiously at the female ranger in front of him, "Weishenme, would you think I want that sword?"

"Because that's your only hope. The corners of Sibya's mouth lifted slightly, "You should know better than I do, don't you?"

"I don't know what you're talking about!" Theodore stood up suddenly, turned around expressionlessly, and wanted to walk out, but was pulled by the cuffs of his clothes by Sibea: "Let go of me!"

"You love her!" cried Sibea angrily, "but you dare not even admit it, you coward! No, coward, do you dare to say that you are a man? You are not even like your soldier named Ustan!"

"Either become the emperor of people and get everything you want. Sibea roared, "Or be a coward for the rest of your life, guarding your fragile and fragile pride!"
