.

Cornwall.

In order to become king, Artoria used this time to help many needy people in the city, solving their problems and troubles, but at the same time, Artoria finally heard the stories about Morgan from the people. , Not a good gossip.

There are rumors in the market that it was Morgan who killed King Uther and wanted to seize the throne, including marriage, but Morgan wanted to use the power of King Lot of Orkney to take advantage of this period when the Pendragon Dynasty's throne was empty. Just a power grab.

Of course, there are also a few people who think that King Uther is simply born, aged, sick and died, and there is nothing strange about it.

But because of the relationship between people who speak lightly, more people are still willing to believe that Morgan designed and killed King Uther in order to seize power, and agreed to the Orkney marriage.

And after hearing these words, Artoria felt particularly angry. She didn't understand why her sister Wang would suffer such rumors without any evidence?

"Al, forget it, now is not the time to argue with these people, remember that you are the king, it would be terrible if you lose the support of the people."

Kai dissuaded, struggling to hold Arturia who couldn't help but want to come forward to argue.

Arturia was unwilling and said angrily:

"But Brother Kai, are we just watching Sister Wang being persecuted by these rumors for no reason? It is nonsense to say that her father was murdered, not to mention that you and I have seen the body with our own eyes. Will such a far-fetched rumor suddenly spread?"

"This……"

For a moment, Kai was speechless, and couldn't help but think of what Merlin said when he talked about Morgan last night.

Morgan does have better abilities than Artoria as king, but because she is not accepted by this land and the era, she is destined to be unable to replace Artoria as king.

Now it seems that this is what Merlin was referring to?

Even if he did nothing, Morgan would be hated by the people of Britain, and he was destined not to be able to stand in front of the stage.

"Brother Kai, what's wrong with you?"

"Did you think of something?"

Arturia said.

"No, no, nothing Al."

Kai quickly replied, shaking his head.

It’s better not to tell Al about these things, because Al is the king, and the foundation of the king is the people. If Al becomes disgusted with the people in this land because of Morgan’s relationship, it will be a heavy blow to her future path .

After all, if even the king of a country hates his people, does the country have a future?

"In short, in short, Al, you must not take these words to heart. The people are just hearsay, and they spread the word because they think it makes sense. In the final analysis, those who spread the rumors must be some nobles in the castle. It's just a ploy to get rid of Morgan because he is greedy for the throne."

"After all, you think, Morgan is the eldest daughter of your father, King Uther, and Morgan is the most likely to inherit the throne besides you, but they don't know your existence, so, naturally, the eyes of those guys are Putting it on Morgan, as long as Morgan is gone, King Uther will no longer have an heir to the throne in the legal sense, so in this way..."

"In this way, they can naturally compete for the throne? Hmph, wishful thinking."

Arturia said coldly.

Listening to the rumors scattered in the city, Artoria's eyes burst into anger, and her whole body exuded a terrifying aura. Even Kai on the side was secretly startled, because it was the first time he saw his sister being injured by something. Or a certain person is so angry that he is afraid that his lie will be exposed.

"Then, if this is the case, then the marriage between Sister Wang and Orkney is also..."

Arturia said, the meaning of the words is self-evident.

After hearing this, Kai said with trepidation:

"Well, almost, it is indeed a way to let Morgan marry him far away, and it can even be said that this is the most effective way, because Orkney is far away from Cornwall, and once there, even if Morgan If you really want to fight for the throne, I'm afraid it will be beyond your reach."

"..."

Arturia didn't say a word after hearing this.

Those nobles are so vicious, and her sister Wang is still thinking about her until the end, wanting to buy more time for herself to consolidate the throne after becoming king.

Thinking of this, Arturia clenched her fists and vowed to give those corrupt nobles some color after becoming king.

"Let's go Kai, let's go back."

"Ah, yes."

Kai said, he was finally relieved to see Artoria's attitude.

As a king, Al could never hate the people of his own country, so he had no choice but to let the nobles take the blame.

And he also hopes that Al will never know about this matter, or that such rumors can be stopped after Artoria becomes king, otherwise, once the situation intensifies, he can't imagine what Al will do for Morgan at that time Things are coming.

.

At night, Merlin finally returned from Avalon and returned to Cornwall.

However, Merlin did not return to the castle at the first time, but went to the church with the sword in the stone, and then inserted the sword in the stone into the protruding stone platform in front of the church under the cover of night, and shot at the stone. The middle sword performed a magic that no one except Artoria could pull out, and finally carved the eight characters "King? Chosen Sword, Destiny is fixed" on the stone platform, and then left the church and returned to Kang Lord Wall's Castle.

At this time, in the back garden of the castle, Artoria was still practicing swordsmanship tirelessly.

And seeing this scene, Merlin smiled knowingly, because he saw the shadow of the legendary King Arthur in the future.

Volume 21 The Round Table of Gods Britain: Chapter 021 [-] The Day of the King's Choice

[The God-given sword of King's Choice appeared in the church in Cornwall, and the one who can pull out this sword is the great king who is destined for Britain. 】

When the news spread completely in Cornwall, it was already December 12th, Christmas day.

And on this day, Merlin called all the nobles and citizens of the city to the church for a gathering.

As for Merlin's invitation, although the nobles with their own ghosts in their hearts were unwilling, none of them dared to disobey, because only on Christmas day, all of them, no matter how high or low, must obey the church and festivals. Even the king of Britain cannot defy this, otherwise, once he is accused of disrespecting the Lord by the church, he will never be able to stand up again in this life, and he will never be able to fight for the throne again.

Of course, they have also heard about the rumor about the sword of Wang Xuan in the past few days in Cornwall, and they have all tried to pull it out.

It's just a pity that no one among them can pull out the holy sword from the stone platform. The sword seems to be enchanted and possesses a thousand catties of strength. Even knights and generals who have experienced battles and are extremely powerful There is nothing to do.

At the same time, this is another reason why Merlin summoned the whole city to the church today. Apart from worship, it is precisely to screen people from the entire Cornwall city, so that those who have never drawn their swords can have a try. After all, it is said to be the will of God, and no one dares to defy it.

But they will not give up. They do not believe that there will really be enough people to inherit the King of Britain among the common people who are far inferior to them in terms of strength and status.

Therefore, they have already made up their minds and have all greeted each other. If the throne chosen by the gods does not satisfy them, they will unite, oppose it with all their strength, and kill it in the cradle!

.

On the verdant field in front of the church, there was a lot of voices, people, nobles, missionaries, pastors, etc. all gathered here.

I saw Mei Lin standing on the high platform, pointing at the sword in the stone inserted into the stone platform and proclaiming loudly:

"This is the will of the Holy Lord. It was born at the sacred moment of the death of the previous king and the birthday of Christ. It symbolizes the sole legal succession right of the future British king, the will of the British island, and the sword chosen by the era!"

"However, our lord is magnanimous, and he chooses people with no regard for respect or inferiority. Therefore, whoever can pull out this sword, regardless of his status, from nobles to commoners, can be our new king of Britain. !"

As the voice fell, the crowd began to boil. Merlin's words made everyone present look eager to try, but at the same time, they were also extremely disappointed. Most of them had tried earlier, but without exception they failed.

The king anointed by the Holy Lord is not himself, and nothing can be more shocking physically and mentally than this cruel fact.

"By the way, do you guys want to try it too? If it's really the God's Chosen One, how much face would it be?"

"Yes, there is no harm in trying anyway, let's go together."

In the crowd, Artoria and Kai gradually became excited when they heard the voices of the people eager to try, especially Kai, who couldn't wait to go forward and show his skills, so he told his sister Artoria beside him said:

"Al, let's try it too. Didn't you always want to be king? Now is the best opportunity. As long as you can pull out that holy sword, won't your dream come true?"

"Brother Kai, I..."

However, at this critical moment, Artoria hesitated instead. She kept asking herself in the depths of her heart, did she have the qualifications and abilities to become a king now?Can it really bring happiness to the people of Britain?

"Al, what's wrong with you?"

"No, nothing, Brother Kai, you go first."

"Al..."

"Yes, I understand."

Kai said, noticing Artoria's tightly clenched palms and the sweat on her forehead, she already knew everything.

Becoming a king, no matter how well-prepared it was before, it will never be enough at this moment, because becoming a king means shouldering corresponding responsibilities and missions, and it is necessary to abandon being a "human being" No one in the world can easily do this.

It is true, although it can also be like what Morgan said, but that is nothing but a tyrant, who succumbs to his own desires, what kind of king is that?He believed that Al must not become like that.

"Then, I'm leaving Al, and I'll go back as soon as I go."

"Yes, take care, brother Kai, I wish you all the best."

Arturia said.

On the high platform, Merlin watched all this...

Therefore, under the organization of the church, all those who wanted to draw their swords lined up in a row and tried one by one.

However, it is a pity that after drawing their swords, everyone without exception showed extremely disappointed expressions on their faces, because no matter how they tried, the holy sword in the stone platform remained motionless...

In this way, the team came to the end, which is also Kai's position.

"Next!"

The pastor of the church shouted mechanically.

Without saying a word, Kai stared at the holy sword in front of him, clenched his fists, walked forward step by step, and then put his right hand on the gorgeous hilt of the sword in the stone.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were on Kai.

People commented:

"That boy is Kay, right? The son of the knight of Hector. It is said that he is one of the best among the younger generation in Cornwall in terms of character and strength. He is also handsome, so I think, if nothing else, Kai must be the chosen one, right? What do you think?"

The rest of the people also nodded after hearing this, and said:

"Well, that's right. I think so too. If Kai can become the king, it must be what everyone expects, so we can rest assured."

"exactly."

However, just when everyone thought that Kai could pull out the holy sword smoothly, in the open space ahead, after 1 minute or 2 minutes, the holy sword was still motionless, even though Kai's right hand was already exerting all his strength, and the veins burst out. , but the holy sword has never made any movement...

Until Kai's forehead was filled with sweat, and his face was flushed red.

"Damn, why is it so strong?!"

After a while, Kai finally gave up, let go of the hilt with his right hand, and shook his head as if he had lost his soul, and said:

"No, I can't pull out this sword either."

As soon as this remark came out, the crowd boiled again, and the nobles also took the opportunity to start booing, and began to publicize such words as the king of Britain should be elected by the Britons themselves, not by the illusory god.
