No one knows King Arthur better than I do

But the old red dragon who has been with King Uther for a long time knows exactly what this ring represents.

"Uther, why did you give this to him... If he just wants titles, fiefdoms, and wealth, you can give him your crown, your sword, or your shoulder armor. Why is it this ring?"

Hearing what the old red dragon said, King Uther swept it with his eyes that were burning with will-o'-the-wisps.

"Do you think that child really wants such superficial things as land, title, and wealth?"

Ok?

The old red dragon was a little dazed, while Uther sighed slightly as he watched Karl and Scathach leave the defense.

"He just wanted to reassure us."

King Uther felt that if he hadn't been tied up here and couldn't leave, then he must go to Merlin to discuss it!

"When he first came back, his expression was obviously a little unnatural. Obviously, he couldn't deal with this matter calmly-but under such circumstances, he quickly showed a look of indifference, and prepared to Ask for something from me, so that we can feel at ease, and by the way, tell me that this matter is over here..."

Hearing what King Uther said, the old red dragon was stunned for a moment.

And King Uther continued to speak.

"What a good boy... In all fairness, if I were to take his perspective, then I would definitely not have his open-mindedness."

"Uther, what if he is pretending?"

"It's amazing to be able to adjust your mentality in such a short period of time and pretend to be like this."

"When I was his age, if I heard such a thing, the biggest possibility would be to slash it with a sword, and it would be impossible to make any rational reaction... I admire him very much, so I gave him that a ring."

"If I just give him a crown or a sword, then Merlin will probably arrange a title for him after seeing it, give him a fief, and give him some wealth. But that would be too unfair to him. I'll make it up to that old friend... that ring can give him a choice besides what he said."

Hearing what King Uther said, the old red dragon still frowned.

"But…"

"It's nothing to worry about, so be it."

"……Um."

★

Camelot's winter has come early.

After the Saxons got the help of those men in black robes, the combat power of the bottom and middle ranks was directly raised to a higher level.

So at this moment, even if Morgan and Artoria came back with food, Camelot's winter came earlier.

This is a winter without snow falling, entirely brought about by the Saxons.

"I really don't know what happened while we were away..."

Cavalier Kai led a team of knights, talking with Lancelot next to him, and seemed to be a little emotional.

"Yeah... During the battles before, our knights always threw the enemy's corpse at me, and gave me an expectant look... It really made me wonder how to respond to the expectations of these knights for a while— — I don't even know what they're expecting?"

Lancelot lowered his voice and whispered in a voice that only he and Cavalier Kai could hear.

"If you use the words of the boss - it's that they are expecting you to give them the whole trick."

Speaking of this, a wry smile appeared on Knight Kai's face.

"You don't know why, but on my side, although I know what they are expecting, I can't respond to their expectations..."

Ok?

Lancelot looked at Cavalier Kai with some puzzlement.

"With our physical fitness, generally speaking, normal things are not so difficult to complete, right?"

Carl's words Lancelot also heard.

He is clear about the concept of unique skills.

Before, he just didn't know what those knights wanted him to do, so he was simply confused-but now that he knew that they wanted him to do his best, Lancelot felt that this matter was okay. So unmanageable.

He still has a lot of unique skills in his mind.

According to the boss, the elite knights who quickly rushed over and beheaded the opponent, and swung the knight sword to play a big windmill on the battlefield... These are all achievable for Lancelot.

Sometimes this kind of thing can bring morale, and sometimes it can relieve the atmosphere and eliminate tension.

——Although it is a bit far-fetched to say so, it is not that Lancelot cannot respond to the expectations of others.

——An old tool man.

He felt that it would not be difficult for Cavalier Kai.

That's why he wondered.

——What is it that is bothering the knight Kai?

Cavalier Kai felt Lancelot's puzzled gaze, and after hesitating for a while, he frowned, his eyes were solemn, the corners of his mouth were flat, and he said to Lancelot expressionlessly.

"They made me bigger."

Uh-huh! ? ?

Something is wrong with them!

"Grow...bigger?"

Cavalier Kai looked at Lancelot's surprised look, but his expression was still very serious.

"Yes... the group of knights said it was as if they saw me transform into a tall giant... very strange. As for you, I don't think their request for you should be any ordinary request... "

Lancelot fell silent.

If you let him rush to kill the enemy, then he has nothing to say, but let him grow bigger...he really can't do it!

Where the hell is this from...

Lancelot suddenly came to his senses at this moment. It seemed that Morgan had written a novel before—maybe it was mentioned in the novel, so the group of knights believed it was true and wanted to read it.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt it was possible, and Lancelot broke out in a cold sweat.

Whether Knight Kai will appear in the novel or what setting he does not know yet.

There was a war as soon as he came back, and he hadn't had time to see it.

But if he remembers correctly, it seems that his name is a white horse in the novel.

—they won't turn me into a horse, will they?

When I thought of a large group of little knights following behind me with adoring eyes, they kept shouting - change for me!

——What kind of strange hell is this!

Lancelot couldn't help shivering, but Cavalier Kai suddenly grabbed his shoulder.

"Lancelot, you have met an enemy!"

Following Knight Kai's voice, Lancelot also came back to his senses—then his gaze followed Knight Kai's fingers, and he saw a pair of knights in black robes gathering together , seems to be resting.

——This team of knights is the team that caused their Camelot to suffer heavy losses when they needed to guard against Vortigern's attack!

After confirming this, the knights Kai and Lancelot gripped the weapons in each other's hands and looked at each other.

——Looks like a big fish has been caught!

7. Trial of the Sword of Victory

The Sword of Victory is on this island, like the old red dragon and King Uther.

So Scathach didn't take Karl away for a long time, and then they came to the location where the sword of victory was.

"To be honest, if you don't tell me that this is where the Sword of Victory is, I won't pay attention even if I pass by here..."

It is completely different from the sword-testing stone that Karl imagined was surrounded by a ray of skylight in the dim temple.

This is the depths of the forest on the island, surrounded by many tall trees, a smaller island in the middle of a small lake that is not too big.

There is indeed a beam of white skylight shining from the gaps in the branches of the dense forest above, but there is no sword-testing stone in this skylight.

As for the sword of victory...

"No way, I spent a lot of effort when I was looking for it, and finally found the sword here."

While speaking, Scathach pointed his finger at the location of a piece of gravel in the center of the island in the middle of the lake.

"At first there was a big rock there, and then I broke the big rock and found that the sword of victory was crushed under the rock."

Scathach flicked her hand, and a rune lighted up on the back of her hand, and a gust of air swept across it, sweeping away all the gravel on the ground.

If it was difficult to notice before, it is easy to see now.

All the debris turned from the boulder disappeared, but there was still a place on the ground at that position that was out of place with the surroundings.

"That is the hilt of the Sword of Victory—although I am not recognized by the Sword of Victory, I know this thing and have checked it with special detection methods. It is buried deep in the ground and is held by the legendary God King. There is the sword of victory."

While speaking, Scathach led Karl to the surrounding of the Sword of Victory, and spoke again.

"The sword is here, but it is not easy to get it - the recognition of the sword of victory is inevitable, and this kind of weapon that holds divinity and has even been used by the king of gods should be tested .”

Scathach handed Karl the wooden container engraved with runes, which contained the blood of the old red dragon.

"I have brought several people here before. I thought they should be qualified to be recognized by this sword, but in fact they are not even qualified to be tested."

"If you think you can, pour dragon's blood on the hilt of this sword. If it thinks you are worthy of the test, it will come out of the ground by itself."

"On the contrary... if it doesn't respond, then you either give up, or you have to use some means to take the most dangerous path and forcefully participate in the test of this sword."

Regarding being able to forcibly participate in the test of the sword, Skaha didn't tell the other people she brought here.

Because those guys are too weak.

And Karl is very strong, so Scathach told Karl this very dangerous method.

——she felt that Carl would probably use this dangerous method.

After all, there is only a little lingering fire from the Age of Gods these days, and even holy sword envoys and demon sword envoys are relatively rare, let alone people who can control the weapons used by the god kings.

But Carl is okay.

After drawing the adaptability of the holy sword and the magic sword at the same time, Karl already has the qualifications to master this kind of divine sword.

However, because Scathach mentioned the test, Karl still tensed his nerves, and then took the wooden container from Scathach's hand. First, he watched her jump out of the island in the middle of the lake, and then He changed hands, and directly poured the dragon's blood in the wooden container on the sword of victory that was buried deep in the ground.

hiss--

It's like something is drinking water.

Such a sound came from where the Victory Sword was, and the dragon blood that had been poured all over the ground also flowed to the Victory Sword with this sound, and was quickly absorbed by the Victory Sword.

After absorbing the dragon's blood, the hilt of the Sword of Victory emitted a radiant brilliance, and then the ground around it cracked, and Karl, who had been tense all the time, quickly backed away, eventually even covering the entire center of the lake The rift on the island was forced out of the island in the middle of the lake, and returned to Skaha's side.

And there were more and more cracks on the island in the middle of the lake, and finally accompanied by more violent tremors, the entire island in the middle of the lake was completely shattered, revealing the things buried here in full.

Although there is still no temple, he saw the sword-testing stone that Karl had thought of before.

A two-story tall stone platform stands in the center of the lake. In the center of the white skylight from top to bottom, the sword of victory is inserted on the top stone platform.

Different from just now, half of the sword of victory is now exposed, and with the shattering of the traces left by time that hide the brilliance, the sword of victory once held by the god king Nuada is also gone. For once, he showed his unique light and sharpness to the world.

However, compared to the Sword of Victory, Karl and Scathach's eyes stayed on the second floor of the stone platform—that is, the floor below the first floor where the Sword of Victory was located.

At this position, there is also a group of blue light flashing and changing its form.

Probably in the blink of an eye, Blu-ray turned into a man whose body was mostly blue, like a ghost.

The opponent was tall, with a pair of eyes glowing green, he looked at Skaha first, and finally locked on Karl.

"I thought it would never be possible to be awakened, but I didn't expect that there are still qualified swordsmen like you now when the embers are about to die out—maybe this is fate...Since you have met the qualifications and made a decision Without the determination to accept the test, then my residue can only be tested step by step."

His initial tone was a bit helpless, but soon he changed the subject, his voice and expression became solemn and majestic.

"—My name is Nuada, the king of the Danu god race, the former ruler of this continent!"

"Son of man with stars and flames, let me confirm for the last time, do you really want to participate in the trial I set about the sword of victory, Claimh Solais?"
