save the bachelors

Chapter 4445 [The Sword in the Stone]

Xiang Nan drove the boat into the fog, passed through the reefs, defeated the guarding Ghost Knights, and finally entered the core of the fog - Avalon Island.

There was light on the island of Avalon, in stark contrast to the fog outside.

The trees on the island are lush and green, full of sweet fruits; under the trees are clusters of colorful flowers; there are also several streams on the ground, filled with milk, red wine and juice... exuding bursts of fragrance.

"No wonder Avalon is known as the Island of Blessing and the Island of God's Blessing. It is the paradise in Welsh mythology and legends. It is indeed unique." Seeing this scene, Xiang Nan couldn't help but admire.

Then he moored the boat and stepped onto the Island of Avalon.

I saw that the scenery on this island was really pleasant and beautiful, and the air was filled with the sweetness and happiness of the smell.

Guided by the wish compass, Xiang Nan walked forward, passed through dense fruit forests, crossed streams, and finally came to a huge lake.

There was an island in the middle of the lake, and on the island stood a huge oak tree, which was several meters in diameter and hundreds of meters high, and looked as if it could stand tall enough to support the sky.

There is an exquisite house like a bird's nest on the branches of the oak tree. The house is made entirely of wood and decorated with colorful flowers. It is very beautiful.

Xiang Nan counted and found that there were nine houses in total. He knew that there were nine fairies of the lake on the island of Avalon. They were Morgana, Vivian, Moreno, Mazo, Greton, Greto, Titon, Tyrenno, and Tito.

These nine fairies not only have beautiful faces and proud personalities, but also have powerful magic powers and are both good and evil, so they are also called "Witches in the Lake".

Morgana was King Arthur's biological sister, also known as Lady Morgan and Morgan Feller. It was her and King Arthur's son Mordred who stabbed King Arthur in the back, killing his own father and seriously wounding him to death.

Vivian was also the leader of the Ladies of the Lake. It was she who gave King Arthur the Sword of the King, allowing him to become an invincible king.

According to legend, it was she who seduced the great wizard Merlin, learned magic from him, and discovered the weaknesses of his magic, eventually imprisoning him in an oak tree.

Therefore, when Xiang Nan saw the oak tree and the nine houses on it, he did not rush forward, but prepared to introduce himself first to see the attitudes of the nine fairies in the lake.

……

"I am a traveler here to visit the nine fairies in the lake. Please show yourself." Xiang Nan straightened his appearance and then shouted loudly.

As soon as he finished speaking, the doors of the nine houses on the oak tree opened at the same time, and nine women with unparalleled beauty, hot bodies and noble temperaments walked out of the houses.

They are dressed in luxurious clothes, have cold and arrogant expressions, and exude a charming and seductive aura from head to toe. When people see them, they can't help but feel their hearts beating fast and unable to extricate themselves.

"You are so brave to come here." The fairy at the top looked at him with disdain and said coldly.

"This is Avalon, the island of blessing, the island of God. Only those who are invited are allowed to enter the island." Another fairy said in a cold voice.

"Big sister, second sister, don't be so fierce. You scared this handsome guy." Another fairy waved her hand and said, "I think he is very brave and capable to be able to land on the island."

"That's right. No one has come here for a long time, and it feels lonely. Why not let him stay here?" Another fairy looked at Xiang Nan and said with interest.

"He looks pretty handsome, why not keep him here?" Another fairy said happily, "We have been lonely for so many years."

"That's right, big sister, second sister, even if you want to kill him, wait for us to have some fun first, okay?" Another fairy also spoke up. Xiang Nan was speechless after hearing this. What did these nine fairies in the lake think of him as? They killed him as they said, and played with him as they said. Did they ever respect his opinion?

"I came here to find King Arthur's treasure." He then said loudly, "I wonder if the fairies can give me some advice?"

Several fairies were stunned for a moment and looked at Xiang Nan together.

"Want King Arthur's treasure? Sure!" The fairy at the top nodded, "Prove your own strength first."

"This is King Arthur's sword in the stone. You must pull it out first to prove that you have the qualifications to become a king." Another fairy spoke, and then waved her hand.

Ripples began to appear in the lake, and then a stone emerged from the water. On the stone was a sword. The hilt was made of gold, and the hilt was inlaid with gems. The exposed blade was also shining with a cold light. It was obvious at a glance that it was an extremely sharp sword.

"Thank you for your advice." Xiang Nan nodded and walked into the lake.

Immediately, he sensed countless cold auras in the lake quickly surrounding him. His legs felt like they were locked by iron chains weighing tens of thousands of pounds, or like he had stepped into liquid nitrogen. He was instantly frozen and lost consciousness.

Xiang Nan looked down and saw countless ghosts in the lake, tightly binding him.

"How ridiculous!" Xiang Nan shouted angrily, his whole body shook, and his extremely masculine and powerful internal force erupted. These ghosts immediately retreated as if struck by lightning, and dared not approach Xiang Nan again.

Xiang Nan's body also recovered, allowing him to move on.

Seeing this scene, the nine fairies in the lake were all shocked. They didn't expect Xiang Nan's strength to be so terrifying. Thousands of ghosts in the lake couldn't trap him.

……

Xiang Nan came to the stone and grasped the hilt of the Sword in the Stone.

Then he took a deep breath and exerted force slowly, thinking in his heart, "Now the world is in ruins, with people mourning and suffering everywhere. People are living in misery and it is worse than death. We need a king to appear in the world to overthrow the tyranny, save the people, help the needy, and enforce justice.

God, help me to pull out this sword! "

He knew that the Sword in the Stone was a legendary sword that could only be pulled out by the king who was destined to rule Britain. So the sword was spiritual and could choose its master autonomously.

According to Xiang Nan's guess, it should be like Gryffindor's sword, with a certain ability of Legilimency, able to read the user's mind. Only when it is confirmed that he really has the courage and the spirit of sacrifice for others will it appear for him to use.

Therefore, Xiang Nan cleared his selfish thoughts and focused on saving the people, and then drew his sword with this mentality.

It is not easy for ordinary people to completely clear their selfish thoughts.

But for Xiang Nan, who has been practicing for more than two thousand years and has honed his spirit and will to be as hard as rock and as strong as steel, it is not difficult at all.

But even so, to pull out the sword from the stone, you still need a bit of luck and the favor of fate.

After all, there is a saying on the Sword in the Stone, "Only a king can pull the sword from the solid stone." It can be seen that it is not enough to have faith alone, but one must also have the fate to be a king.
