Zongman: The Legend of the Demon Fox

Chapter 115 Draw the Sword and Choose the King
"The posture is not right, remember that the waist can increase the power of the chopping action."

Merlin guided Artoria over and over again. Since the last time he found out that he had the title of "Sword Master of Britain" in his title, he realized how superb his three-legged cat's swordsmanship was in this era.

At present, in the entire European continent, he has not found a second one who can survive ten rounds in his hands. The remaining one is Tom who hangs him...

In fact, the fighting skills in this era are not too advanced, they are just some basic chopping and slashing or stabbing, and even the muscular barbarians in northern Europe just hacked with brute force.

The real fighting skills are in the hands of those gods, and most of the people who really know how to fight gather in the Eastern Continent. After all, the gods in that place are quite special, and they don't need to confuse those ignorant mortals to become their followers.

With his experience of traveling around the world, plus the swordsmanship he practiced under Mr. Tom and honed in the Eastern Continent, he can just teach Artoria who has nothing to learn.

This little girl is very talented. The simple knight swordsmanship has been learned by this little monster. In terms of swordsmanship skills, even the most powerful knights can't match her. What she lacks is honed on the battlefield. Experience and will plus a strong body.

What she lacks, however, she will sooner or later make up for.

"Teacher Meilin, the New Year's martial arts competition is coming soon, can I participate?"

Artoria blinked her cute big eyes, and the cute Merlin's face was covered with blood.

"I'm afraid it won't work. You are still too young to be a knight, so you are not eligible to participate in the competition. However, Kai, the son of your adoptive father Ector, can participate. You can go with him and help him by the way, you It's also good to watch the duel between real knights, which will help your growth." Merlin touched Artoria's head and said softly, while his eyes flashed with complicated expressions.

A few years ago, the old King Uther's health became worse and worse, and he finally couldn't bear it not long ago, so he passed away. Merlin went to attend the funeral of his old friend, and shed a few tears symbolically in front of the other's grave. on white flowers.

No one except him knows that the soul of King Uther has not left the world, but follows him and intends to guard his child forever.

"Put on the silver-white armor my teacher gave you. You should become a real knight after the new year."

"My teacher!"

After dismissing Arturia casually, Merlin closed the door and took out a delicate and compact ring, looking at the ring and muttering to himself in a trance.

"Old Uther, you won't wait too long. Believe me, the day when you draw your sword is not far away! Although Arturia is a girl, she is more suitable to be a king than anyone else, and has that qualification more than anyone else."

There was a faint blue light on the delicate and compact ring, which seemed to agree with the old friend's statement.

――A few days later――

"Brother Kai, hurry up, hurry up! You're late and the martial arts competition is about to end."

"Stinky boy, wait for me. If you go now, there will be few people, so don't be so anxious."

Arturia happily ran on the road home, leaving behind her titular brother Kai, who had become a knight, far behind.

"Oops, Arthur! It's all because you came out in such a hurry that I forgot the sword at home! It must be too late for me to go back to get it now. You run fast, so hurry up and get it for me, and try to get it for me before the game." .”

Kai touched his waist while running and found that he didn't bring the most important sword, so he hurriedly asked Arthur to get it.

"Don't worry, leave it to me!"

Arturia's physical fitness has already surpassed the average number of times after many years of training. This short distance is not a problem for her, and she immediately rushed home to get the sword.

Due to the sensitive identity, no one except Merlin and his adoptive father knew that she was actually a girl, not even Kai who grew up with her.

"The damn door is closed."

When Arthur arrived at the house where he was staying, he found that the owner had locked the door to watch the competition. Arthur, who was in a mess, suddenly remembered the sword in the stone.

She hurriedly went to the church to draw her sword, only to find that the ten sword guard knights had also gone to the tourney. After all, after so many years, no one had the ability to draw this sword, and the church basically gave up on it, acquiescing to this sword It is impossible to be pulled out, and the knight guarding the sword is not as attentive as before.

Forced to do so, Arthur held the hilt of the sword unsupervised and fell into deep thought.

Standing in front of the rock, what was the girl thinking?

When she came back to her senses, she noticed an unknown magician standing behind her.

"Before drawing that sword, it would be better to think about it for sure."

He said, I won't lie to you, don't do that.

"After pulling out that sword, you are no longer human!"

He also said that as long as he got the sword, he would be hated by people and lead to a miserable death.

she can't be afraid

After all, the magician literally made her see
See what kind of doomsday she will go after pulling out that sword

"---Do not!"

However, this made the girl make up her mind.

Even seeing her own future, she nodded vigorously.

The magician asked, is this okay?

"—There are a lot of people laughing. I think it must be right!"

her hand on the sword

The magician looks away in distress

"A miracle needs a price. In exchange, it should be your most important thing."

Leaving behind words like a prophecy...

Arturia woke up suddenly and found that the legendary sword in the stone had been pulled out by her.

She can't remember what happened before?What did you see?What did you hear?As if in a trance, the sword appeared in her hand.

"I have to hand over the sword to Kai quickly, otherwise he will have to wait in a hurry, maybe he will be beaten all over the ground in the martial arts competition, that's not good."

Without thinking about some weird things, she hurriedly ran towards the competition venue with her sword in her arms.

When she gave the sword to Kai, Kai recognized it as the Sword in the Stone at a glance and passed it on to his father Ector.

Hector couldn't believe his eyes, he never thought that Arthur could pull out this sword.

"My dear Arthur, can you show me again how you drew this sword?"

The knights agreed with him, and Arthur agreed to draw his sword once more.

He then thrusts the sword back into the stone, but neither he nor Kay can pull it out, and Arthur pulls the sword out easily again.

Because Arthur was too young, the great nobles were unwilling to bow their heads and bow their heads. They asked Arthur to pull out the sword in the stone in public many times but still did not believe that this was their true son. Merlin had expected all this, but he never did. Hopefully these nobles will support Arthur.

He learned a lot in Huaxia, one of which is called - those who win the hearts of the people win the world.

He agreed with this sentence very much, so he secretly publicized among the people that Arthur was the chosen king.

Over time, the people began to agree that Arthur was king, and they opposed the nobles' delay of time.

Everything was expected by Merlin, and under his arrangement, Arthur became the king of England shortly thereafter.

Somehow, Arthur Pendragon, or Artoria Pendragon, who pulled out his sword, didn't realize it at all, and became the king of England in a daze.

But Merlin has always taught her well, and I believe he can teach her to be an outstanding king.
