434. King Arthur's kingdom
Avalon.
The sword in the stone stood in front of Hewen.
Confuse the real with the fake.
Herwin asked:
"Can I pull it out?"
安 Lai says:
"You're not the first person to ask this question. ”
An Lai looked at the holy sword with a bright expression:
"I've tried it too, and to be honest, when I heard the Arthurian legend as a kid, I also fantasized that it was me who pulled the sword in the stone.
"I think when King Arthur left the sword in the stone here again, he also thought of waiting for a great knight and king of immaculate character to pull it out. ”
Herwin looked sideways at An Lai.
This young man's thoughts are very pure and noble.
Only people with high morals can sincerely think about problems from this perspective.
Most people will only have the greed for the sword in the stone.
An Lai naively believed that if someone could pull out the sword in the stone, he could really have the king's sword, which symbolized power and power.
Herwin smiled.
Because he was right in his thinking.
Hervin stepped on the protrusion of the hill and jumped to the top of the mountain in two steps.
A towering stone mountain, with a man standing at the top.
He bent down.
Despite knowing what the outcome would be, Anlai couldn't help but hold her breath.
Every time he saw it, he couldn't help but look forward to it.
Expect someone to pull out the sword in the stone.
Herwin gripped the hilt of his sword.
It feels exactly the same as it did at the beginning.
He pulled hard upwards.
The hilt of the sword trembled slightly.
"Oh!" An Lai exclaimed.
But Hervin let go of his hand:
"I can't pull it out. ”
An Lai looked at Hervin in disbelief:
"Didn't you see that just now?
Hewen looked down at the surprised beautiful boy:
"Yes, it moved, but that doesn't mean I can pull it out. ”
An Lai wiped his eyes:
"What I just saw wasn't a hallucination. ”
Hervin jumped from the stone mountain:
"I can't pull it out, Anlai, it just trembled, not only me, many people can make the sword in the stone tremble, I'm just one of them.
"But Arthur is the only one. ”
An Lai's eyes were still wide open, with an expression of disbelief:
"But you shake it, even if you don't pull it out, it's already great. ”
An Lai looked at Hervin with a look of reverence, the same as when he first introduced King Arthur.
It was as if standing in front of him were the stars that had fallen to the mortal realm.
There was also starlight in his eyes.
Hewen shook his head:
"It's not a strange phenomenon, Shi Zhongjian thinks that I may be close to its standard in some way, but there are too many things that need to be met in order to pull it out, and I have only achieved the most insignificant one of the ten million conditions.
"I'm sure anyone in the Knights of the Round Table can do better than I do. ”
An Lai couldn't listen to any explanation from Hewen, and his eyes lit up and he said:
"Mr. Herwen, you are a great knight, please accept my high respect. ”
After speaking, An Lai knelt directly on one knee and faced each other with a knightly salute.
Hewen was a little helpless.
He had discovered that the child was an ardent admirer of King Arthur, even though much of what he knew about King Arthur came from legends that did not correspond to historical facts at all.
Thankfully, he didn't pull out the sword.
Herwin was able to pull out the sword in the stone.
He almost tricked it out.
But he didn't pull it out in the end.
Because he can't pull out a real sword in the stone.
With the exception of King Arthur, no one has been able to gain the recognition of the Sword in the Stone.
No, it's not just that King Arthur is unique.
The requirements of the sword in the stone are very simple, that is, it is enough to meet its requirements for the master, as long as the swordsmanship is good enough, the strength is strong enough, invincible, noble and flawless, with unparalleled leadership charm, insight into the wisdom of the world, and similar dozens of advantages, you can pull out the sword in the stone.
It wasn't it that chose Arthur, and it wasn't Arthur who chose it.
It was only Arthur who fulfilled its requirements.
But matching its fastidious requirements is what it can bring to Arthur.
This sword made Arthur the king of New England,
If it hadn't broken later, Arthur wouldn't have been looking for any Broken Steel Sword.
The sword in the stone was her only option.
So later Hewen retrieved the broken sword.
He recast the sword in the stone.
If you don't take into account the dwarfs of the Dark Elves, Hervin has few opponents in forging.
And the same.
In addition to Hewen, few people in the Nine Worlds today can repair the Sword in the Stone.
Herwin jumped off the hill.
He looked at the sword in the stone again.
Fake.
Always a fake.
He lifted up Anlai, who was still saluting:
"Great knights don't need to be worshipped. ”
Anlai instantly stood up straight:
"But mortals have the right to hope for the appearance of great knights. ”
Hewen was puzzled:
"Is there a need for a great knight to bring salvation here?"
An Lai was stunned for a moment, then smiled:
"Of course not.
"But I was always looking forward to King Arthur's appearance before I died. ”
"I hope she can show up and save us.
"When I first died, I always thought we were losing, and I was wandering aimlessly in the underworld at that time, and I can't even remember what I saw, what I went through, and what I killed.
"I thought we were still at war with Sanans. ”
Hewen patted him on the shoulder:
"We won. ”
An Lai shook her head and signaled that she was fine:
"When I was resting in my tent at night, wiping the blade of my sword, I could not help but imagine if King Arthur had appeared and led us, and the war would have gone a different way.
"Maybe we won't have to sacrifice so many people, and the councillor's bunch won't be able to dictate to us.
"Why is the king not in our time?"
Hewen couldn't give an answer
An Lai regained her composure:
"Fortunately, I ended up with the king, but I couldn't enter King Arthur's kingdom, which is a bit of a pity. ”
Herwin asked:
"You've been talking about King Arthur's kingdom, isn't King Arthur here?"
Anlai replied:
"Not exactly, it's more like a special dimension that she exists in Avalon, because the injuries from that great battle have not completely disappeared, so he stayed in the small dimension to regain his strength. ”
This is quite true.
It's just that although King Arthur was seriously injured and woke up, she was not in the underworld.
She's not dead yet.
Herwin asked:
"Do you know how to meet King Arthur?"
An Lai nodded heavily:
"Not only me, but everyone knows that the only way to see King Arthur is to meet Madame Morgan Le Fay and make your wish.
"Meet King Arthur.
Then King Arthur's sister would open the passage to King Arthur's resting place.
"There were once warriors before King Arthur who came to Avalon after being lost for countless years, and people like these who knew King Arthur before their lives could go directly to King Arthur's kingdom. ”
Herwin asked:
"Did they ever leave King Arthur's kingdom?"
An Lai wondered:
"Why are they leaving?"
