Chapter 4444 [King Arthur's Treasure]

Xiang Nan then came to England, ready to look for King Arthur's treasure.

Legend has it that King Arthur was a legendary hero of ancient Britain. He pulled out the Sword in the Stone that could rule Britain, and then, with the assistance of the great wizard Merlin, led the Knights of the Round Table to fight wars in the south, the north, the east and the west.

Not only did he drive away the Roman colonists and the Saxon invasion, he unified Britain, but he even invaded into Europe and defeated the powerful Roman Emperor Lucius.

Afterwards, King Arthur, who was full of ambition and success, began to look for the legendary artifact - the Holy Grail.

This is a holy object of Christianity. It is said that drinking the water from the holy grail can not only bring the dead back to life, but also make one immortal. It is a very precious holy object.

Eventually, the Holy Grail was found by Galahad, one of the Knights of the Round Table, who helped King Arthur realize his wish.

But King Arthur also suffered betrayal from his subordinates. Not only was his wife Guinevere stolen away by Lancelot, but he himself was also stabbed in the back by his illegitimate son and nephew Mordred, and eventually lost his life. The British Kingdom he founded also fell apart.

It is said that after King Arthur's death, his body was buried in Avalon by the Fairy of the Lake and guarded by the great wizard Merlin, waiting for the arrival of the next destined person.

Avalon, also known as the Blessed Island, is the paradise in British mythology and legend. It is guarded by nine fairies in the lake and is impossible for ordinary people to find.

However, the location of the Island of Avalon is recorded in the Maokuntu. According to the location analysis, it is on an island in the north of the British Isles.

……

Xiang Nan first used the Apparition to return to London, England, then flew to northern Scotland on his sword, and finally took a boat out to sea to the Island of Avalon.

It wasn't that he didn't want to fly directly to Avalon, but according to the records in the Maokuntu, Avalon could only be reached by boat. This was also the rule set by the fairies.

Xiang Nan sailed across the ocean in a small boat. Although the sea was windy and rough, it was better than strolling in the garden for him.

Because he held the Trident of Poseidon in his hand, no matter how huge the waves were, they could only help him move forward quickly without capsizing his boat.

Therefore, in the midst of strong winds and waves, Xiang Nan was not only safe and sound, but he also arrived in Avalon even faster.

He set out from the northern coast of Scotland and spent half a day finally arriving at an unfamiliar sea area.

The sea was covered by thick fog, which spread out to cover the sky and the sun, and was boundless and could not be seen at a glance. Ordinary ships could only take a detour when they saw it.

After all, sailing in fog is the most dangerous thing. Once you lose your way, you may go in circles or even hit a reef and sink. Most ships would never dare to take such a risk.

But Xiang Nan was determined and drove the boat into the thick fog.

He was not afraid of getting lost because he was holding the compass of wish in his hand, which helped him guide the way to Avalon.

……

The boat sailed into the thick fog, and as soon as it entered, Xiang Nan felt a chill.

There seemed to be great danger hidden in the thick fog.

However, Xiang Nan was not afraid and continued to move forward.

Along the way, there were many reefs protruding from the deep sea. Each one was as hard as iron and as sharp as a knife, like the claws of evil spirits. Once a ship hit it, even the hardest bottom of the ship would be pierced in an instant.

Therefore, Xiang Nan could see that there were many ships that had run aground around him. They must have unfortunately entered the fog and then hit the reefs in the sea.

Xiang Nan had good eyesight and could vaguely see the white bones on the deck, and even heard some faint sounds in the mist, which seemed to be the miserable howling of those sailors who died unjustly.

Although this hellish scene was terrifying, it still did not scare Xiang Nan.

Because he had actually been on the battlefield and witnessed tens of thousands of casualties. For example, in The Legend of the Condor Heroes, a Mongolian army of 100,000 laid siege to Xiangyang City, with thousands of casualties in one battle. In the final decisive battle, both sides suffered as many as 40,000 to 50,000 casualties.

The fields were filled with corpses and the blood flowed like a river. It was a horrific sight.

The crews on these ships in front of him, combined, were estimated to be no more than a thousand people. To Xiang Nan, it was simply a small scene. So he steered the boat to avoid the reefs while continuing to move forward according to the guidance of the wish compass.

……

After walking for about another stick of incense, Xiang Nan went deeper and deeper into the fog.

The fog was getting heavier, and Xiang Nan's vision was increasingly affected. He could see 50 meters away before, but now he could only see 5 meters away.

Moreover, the eerie and cold atmosphere in the fog became thicker and thicker.

At this moment, Xiang Nan suddenly heard the sound of footsteps in water, which was getting closer and faster.

Xiang Nan frowned, leaned back suddenly, and saw a cold light flashing in front of him.

Xiang Nan turned his head and saw a knight standing beside a small boat above the water, in the thick fog.

He was wearing an old suit of armor and holding a two-handed sword in both hands. However, there was a dark hole in his helmet and his face could not be seen at all.

Although the horse under his crotch was very strong and handsome, there was almost no flesh and blood on it, only white bones shining with a bright light.

Xiang Nan immediately realized that this was a ghost knight, perhaps a Knight of the Round Table under King Arthur in the past, who voluntarily guarded the outskirts of Avalon after his death to prevent King Arthur's heroic spirit from being disturbed.

Seeing that one sword strike failed to kill Xiang Nan, the knight immediately swung his sword again.

Xiang Nan slapped forward with his palm, and the fierce palm force whizzed out, and the Ghost Knight was immediately knocked away.

With a clang of clang, the armor was broken into pieces, and it was seen that there was no body inside the armor, only a thick black gas.

But the black gas did not dissipate. Instead, it put the scattered armor together again, then rode on the skeleton horse again, holding the sword and slashing towards Xiang Nan.

"Interesting." Xiang Nan couldn't help but nodded when he saw this.

Such an immortal ghost knight is quite interesting.

He then waved his magic wand, and several ropes flew out immediately, tying up the knight and the horse under his crotch.

Although Ghost Knight struggled hard and his armor creaked, he still couldn't break free from the ropes.

Xiang Nan then took out a briefcase and cast the Traceless Stretching Spell to expand the space inside it. He then cast the Great Shift of the Universe and put the immortal ghost knight and his mount, the skeleton horse, into the briefcase.

He planned to study this knight carefully when he had time to find out what was going on with him.

……

However, Xiang Nan's action was like stirring up a hornet's nest. He then heard more splashing sounds of water coming from the depths of the fog, and then he saw dozens of ghost knights rushing towards him from the fog.

Upon seeing this, Xiang Nan immediately waved the trident of Poseidon, and in an instant a strong wind blew up on the sea, and huge waves surged.

Wave after wave of surging waves swept towards the knights like a tidal wave. In an instant, the knights were swept away by the waves.

Xiang Nan also took advantage of the thrust of the waves and moved forward quickly, and then he saw a black line in the distance.
