"According to the previous agreement, young lady, you were the one who drew the sword in the stone. From now on, you will be the new king of Great Britain."
Merlin took the initiative to salute Artoria, using his prestige to elevate Artoria.After all, Artoria was just a little-known person before this, and she was a woman. In the eyes of most people, she was not qualified to succeed the king at all. Even with the prophecy of the Sword in the Stone, it was impossible to stop her All mouths.
Therefore, Merlin can only take the lead in expressing surrender to Artoria. In this way, if other people want to embarrass Artoria, they have to weigh their weight compared with him, a great magician. .
Compared with those who were still in shock, shame, jealousy, resentment and other emotions, Zhou Xiaoning could be said to be a complete bystander, so what he saw was naturally different from them.
Just now, when Arturia drew her sword, Zhou Xiaoning suddenly felt a subtle magic power sweeping over her body.
At first, Zhou Xiaoning thought that someone didn't want Artoria to become queen, so she was using some disgraceful means to harm her.Although it is impossible for Artoria to be injured by this level of magic with her strength at this time, Zhou Xiaoning opened the dragon pupil immediately, and followed the trace of magic power back to the past, she wanted to see who it was How dare you plot against Arturia in front of him with such a blind eye!
However, what surprised Zhou Xiaoning was that the trace of magic power was emitted from the stone under the sword in the stone.Moreover, judging from the breath, it was the same as the magic power in Merlin's body.
Suddenly, Zhou Xiaoning thought of something and fixed his eyes on the ugly stone.
"Sure enough, how can such an important matter as choosing a king be decided by drawing a sword? Isn't that too child's play?"
Zhou Xiaoning touched his chin, showing an expression of "there is only one truth".
What is the sword-drawing king selection conference? To put it bluntly, it is a show, with people from all over Great Britain as a foil, so as to highlight Arturia, so that everyone thinks that she is the king of the day, so that she will get the honor of being on the throne. Huge prestige, in order to help her consolidate the kingship faster.
It is true that the sword in the stone is indeed a king's sword, and it will choose someone who has the appearance of a king as its master.But Great Britain is neither big nor small, and has a population of one or two million. Is it true that besides Artoria, there is really no other person who has the appearance of a king?Not necessarily.
So just to be on the safe side, before King Uther died, he communicated with Merlin, hoping that Merlin could help Artoria ascend the throne, and Merlin agreed.
In fact, what Merlin has to do is not complicated, he just needs to set a small spell on the stone with the sword in the stone, to ensure that no one can get along with the stone except those who have the blood of the Pendragon clan. The sword in the stone resonates, and in this way, even if someone with the posture of a king comes up to draw the sword, they will fail because they cannot wake up the sword in the stone. The so-called black box operation is nothing more than that.
It's just that Zhou Xiaoning is on Altria's side, so naturally he won't tear her down, so he will always keep this secret, and apart from him and Merlin, there is probably no third person in this world who will know it. up.
"Arthur, it's really you, why do you..."
The young man who had a good relationship with Arturia before finally recognized her after careful identification. Although he couldn't believe it, the fact was in front of him. The brother who grew up with him turned out to be a Sister, and he hasn't noticed it for so many years!
"Sorry Kay, I didn't mean to lie to you."
Artoria looked at the young man with an apologetic face. In the previous years, she had been boarding at this young man's home, and she had received a lot of favor from their family, and she and that young man had also played together since childhood. If it wasn't for her unavoidable difficulties, she really didn't want to favor them for so long.
"Okay, I don't care what your reason is, I just want to be quiet now!"
The young man waved his hand. He didn't know what kind of mentality he should use to face Artoria. Congratulations to her about to succeed the king?Or resent her for deceiving herself?He felt that his mind was in a mess, and he might not dare to meet Artoria again before he thought it through.
Seeing the back of the young man leaving, Arturia opened her mouth, but in the end she still didn't say a word to stay.It's not that Arturia doesn't want to save this friendship, it's just that what she's going to face next is too difficult and dangerous, even she doesn't dare to say that she has the bottom line, so it's better not to involve him.
The departure of the young man was like an introduction. The people who were afraid to open their mouths because of Merlin's existence, all began to whisper at this time, and they kept their words close to Artoria. Obviously, they were all very interested in Artoria's succession as king. Dissatisfied.
Merlin knew that he had to stand up at this time.
"Here, I have one more thing to announce. The person next to me is actually the biological daughter of King Uther, Artoria Pendragon, who has pure royal blood, and then In addition, she pulled out the sword in the stone, which can be said to be the destiny, do you have any objections?"
Merlin used a bit of magic to make his voice clearly reach everyone's ears, and it was also mixed with spells similar to obfuscation, which could make his words sound more convincing.
"This old guy has worked hard enough to make Liya a queen."
There was a faint smile on Zhou Xiaoning's face. He naturally heard what Mei Lin said. Given his resistance, even if Mei Lin tried his best to confuse him, it wouldn't affect him in the slightest.
But for the sake of helping Artoria, Zhou Xiaoning didn't care about Merlin's crime of trying to influence him with magic.Not only that, Zhou Xiaoning also secretly added a little material, using illusion to slightly affect the vision of everyone present, making Artoria look more majestic, sacred and inviolable.
Under such a two-phase effect, Zhou Xiaoning didn't believe that he couldn't even deal with these ordinary people!
Chapter 41
"I disagree!"
A middle-aged man brought more than a hundred heavily armed soldiers and killed them in a mighty manner. Judging by his clothes and the ostentation, he must be a certain nobleman from Great Britain.
You must know that Great Britain is still very weak at this time. The combined military strength of the whole country is probably less than [-], and this is still the case when the private soldiers of various noble families are counted.Due to the differences in the wealth and power of the nobles, the private soldiers under their command are naturally uneven. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that the army of Great Britain at this time is described as "a mob".
However, among a group of short people, a few relatively tall ones can always be picked out, such as the middle-aged nobleman in front of him.
Due to the backwardness of mining and smelting technology, it is not easy to get together a complete set of metal equipment in this era.Some aristocrats who are not very rich even have only a set of barely available equipment in their families, and it is passed down from father to son, and from son to grandson, from generation to generation. Worrying.
And although the hundred private soldiers of this middle-aged nobleman are not as luxurious as a set of metal equipment, at least each of them has a fine iron long sword and the quality of the leather armor on their bodies is also of high quality, and judging from their mental outlook, There must be a lot of training in normal times. In the current environment, he can barely be regarded as an elite soldier.
At the last moment of Wang Xuan, the purpose of this middle-aged nobleman was self-evident when he made such a fuss.
The middle-aged aristocrat's power in Great Britain is obviously not small. When he saw him coming, the people who were still around the stone platform immediately gave way to let him pass.
In this regard, the middle-aged nobleman couldn't help flashing a trace of complacency on his face. This is what he wanted.
Without hindrance, the middle-aged nobleman went straight to Artoria without his order, and the private soldiers who came with him pulled out their weapons one after another and surrounded Artoria and Merlin.
"Little girl, that sword is not suitable for you to hold, so give it to me."
The eyes of the middle-aged nobleman are full of greed and longing, although he is already under one person and above ten thousand people in Great Britain, and because of the passing of King Uther, the only "one person" who weighed on his head is gone , except that he has not officially ascended the throne, he is almost the uncrowned king of Great Britain, and his power is so monstrous.
But he is still not satisfied, he wants to go one step further, and this time the king selection conference is his best opportunity.
During the day, the middle-aged nobleman also came to draw his sword, not only him, but he also called all the male members of the family, but all of them failed in the end.But the middle-aged nobleman did not give up on this. He ordered his subordinates to keep an eye on it secretly, and once someone pulled out the sword in the stone, they would notify him. At that time, he would lead his troops to snatch the sword in the stone.As soon as he got the sword, coupled with the power of their family, within two days, the whole of Great Britain would be his!
"It is you."
Arturia looked at the middle-aged nobleman indifferently. In the original history, she was also this person. When she succeeded to the throne, she had the most troubles and even almost started a civil war.In the end, if it wasn't for Merlin's action to make the middle-aged nobleman and his immediate family disappear from the world, Great Britain would have been destroyed long ago.
It's just that he didn't expect that this time, he would be so impatient and jump out so early. Could it be that this is the "butterfly effect" caused by changing the original history?
At the same time, on the other side, Zhou Xiaoning's face turned cold. Before, he was confident that Artoria was firmly seated on the throne, but now this guy just gave him such a slap in the face. Isn't this Chi Guoguo's slap in the face? ?
"If Liya is not suitable for holding the sword in the stone, are you suitable?"
