73. The Sword of the King
The purification lasted for half an hour and all the black silt was clear.
The Holy Grail released endless light, shining on the void, and a sky was ignited, as if it was about to burn, and the sacred aura spread out, like a huge wave, drowning the void.
"This is the Holy Grail."
Tosaka Rin whispered, and countless people nodded secretly.
Yan Xiaobei saw the current situation of the Holy Grail and knew that he had purified it had an excellent effect. He smiled slightly, jumped down from the sky of the Holy Grail and returned to everyone.
Saber looked at the Holy Grail, a little dull. This was the Holy Grail she longed for, but it did not belong to her at this moment.
The new Holy Grail has powerful power, but this power was purified by her Lord. The knight's morality does not allow her to overthrow the Holy Grail unreasonably.
She is Artoria Pandragorn, King of Britain, King of Knights, and King Arthur!
"What are you doing while standing there? You don't want to make a wish." Yan Xiaobei was stunned when he saw Saber, so he spoke out and urged him.
"Oh? Am I...me?"
"Not who are you?"
"But, the Holy Grail was purified by the Lord, and I am not qualified to use it."
"What a stubborn guy, let me leave it to you. You can use it. I want to see how you save the country you saved." Yan Xiaobei said with interest.
"...I understand." After a long silence, Saber finally figured it out. The idea of saving his country had the upper hand. He nodded and accepted Yan Xiaobei's gift and began to make a wish.
"O Holy Grail, I make a wish here to return to the day of the Holy Sword election."
Saber Artoria made a wish here, and the purified Holy Grail suddenly responded to her wish.
So a door appeared.
This is a door of time and space. By passing through this door, you can return to the day of the Holy Sword election.
"Thank you, Lord." Seeing the appearance of the time and space gate, Artoria could not hide her excitement at this moment. She first thanked Yan Xiaobei. If it weren't for him, she would never have saved her country in her life.
Yan Xiaobei waved his hand, "No need to thank you, no need to thank you, let's go together. Let's see how the British Empire was born."
"Oh, everyone?" Rin Tosaka said, "What does this mean."
"Literally, I'm going to walk through the gates of time and space with Artoria and go to Great Britain to have a look."
"Stop kidding, that was the 5th century AD when people were killed like a person." Rin Tosaka didn't want to go to that kind of place, of course, don't let Sakura go to that kind of place.
In that kind of place, wars are always the same, and humans are stronger than the other. What if they die in that kind of place?
And there is no running water, no soft beds, no mirrors, and various modern appliances. It is not a place for people to live in at all.
After Tosaka Rin withdrew, Maki Sakura hesitated for a moment and was pulled away by Tosaka Rin.
Ilyasfil didn't want to go either. He said he would wait for Yan Xiaobei to come back here.
Bazette stayed to watch over Ilia.
As a result, only Yan Xiaobei, Medusa and the Nine-tailed Fox were gone.
After Artoria led everyone through the gate of time and space, she saw a great creation of light. Then she came to a vast plain.
Above a raised hillside, there is the ruins of a palace.
Artoria missed her very much. She looked at the ruins of the palace and thoughtfully, and sighed the longest time.
"That is the place where the Holy Sword is elected. In that ruin, there is a Holy Sword... a Sword in the Stone."
"Where is it? Let's go and have a look together." Yan Xiaobei said, and at the same time, she looked at Artoria curiously and found that the gorgeous armor on her body had disappeared, replaced by a very simple dress.
But that kingly aura has not yet dissipated.
Under the leadership of Artoria, everyone went to the ruins of the palace and saw many people along the way, each of whom exuded a strong or weak magic.
"These are knights," Artoria whispered.
Most people come to draw out the sword in the stone, but basically no one can draw out the sword in the stone.
The sword seemed to be linked to the earth and could not be pulled out no matter what. Many people walked in proudly and walked out dejectedly, with blood bubbles all over their hands, angry and scolding something.
Artoria ignored these people at all.
When you walk into the palace ruins, you can see people at a glance... There are a lot of people, about hundreds, scattered all over the place, staring at a sword in the center of the palace ruins....
He is the Sword of Chosen!
Merlin predicted that he would draw out this sword and be the king of Great Britain.
So it attracted a lot of people, who rushed over from all over the world, trying to draw out the sword from the stone, become the king of Great Britain, unify the world, and establish an immortal empire.
As the saying goes, if you don’t want to be a king, you are not a good god of death.
Ahem...sorry, I said it wrong.
In any case, Yan Xiaobei saw greed, desire, and endless ambition in the eyes of many people. These people were not suitable to be kings, so they could not draw out the sword in the stone.
At this moment, Yan Xiaobei discovered that Artoria's eyes were not focused on Shi Zhongjian, but looked at a man standing not far from Shi Zhongjian.
It was a burly and handsome man, with a strong sense of presence all over his body, completely different from the people around him, and he could be said to be completely different from the clouds.
His magic power is powerful and his body is taller than everyone around him, not to mention the short man Artoria, from his face, he is also a very handsome man, and there are very few people who can compete with him here.
"I'm so fascinated by it. Could it be your man?" Yan Xiaobei asked.
"Stop kidding, Lord, he is the strongest man in Great Britain, and I am far from that of the Knight in the Lake, Lancelot." Artoria said with a complicated expression.
"It turns out that it's not your man, but a man who cuckolds you."
"Even if you are the Lord, I'm going to get angry if you say this." Artori looked at the other party angrily.
The Heavenly Selection Competition of Stone Sword is still continuing. One person after another line up, one rotation every five minutes. If you can't pull it out, leave, don't delay the next person.
The team gradually moved forward. It was Lancelot's turn soon.
He stood on the stage of the Stone Sword, reached out and grabbed the Stone Sword, and pulled it out with all his might!
The sword in the stone was silent.
The people behind suddenly heard booing, and all kinds of ridicule followed. To be honest, Lancelot's shape was too bitter and his magic power was strong. Many people thought he could draw the sword in the stone.
Some people were naturally ecstatic when they saw that Lancelot could not pull out the sword in the stone. The inverted booing followed, trying to put psychological pressure on Lancelot.
However, Lancelot was not angry and was very calm. He held the hilt of the sword in the stone tightly and poured huge magic into the hand, and tried hard to pull it out again!
The sword in the stone shook and made a crackling sound.
Countless people couldn't help but widen their eyes, as if they were afraid of missing a scene in history.
However, only Artoria's eyes looked sad. She knew that it was Lancelot in time and could not draw out the sword in the stone.
Sure enough, Lancelot's magic was exhausted. The sword in the stone was still not pulled out.
He stood up, unable to see the depression, shook his head slightly and stepped back.
"No one can use brute force to draw out the sword in the stone." Artoria whispered.
Yan Xiaobei asked: "When did you draw out the sword in the stone?"
"At night, I pulled out the sword in the stone and emitted endless bright light. The sky was dyed gold, and black and white were turned upside down, so I became the king of Great Britain." Artoria regretted it a little. If it weren't for the sword in the stone, maybe a better king would have appeared.
However, Artoria miscalculated.
From tonight to tomorrow morning, more and more people draw swords, but no one can draw the sword in the stone.
Then, this time, the sword was drawn and it took three days and three nights.
Yan Xiaobei also met many people, such as Gao Wen, one of the future twelve round table knights, and Artoria's most trusted minister...Bedville.
They also went up and tried it, but they were unable to draw out the sword in the stone.
"No one can draw this sword at all, it's just a lie."
Not long after, someone asserted this, and such rumors became more and more loud and louder.
Many strong men don’t look very good.
I think this time the King's Sword is just a farce, and no one can draw this sword.
"But Master Meilin cannot deceive us." Some people firmly believe that Master Meilin has not deceived people and can definitely draw out the sword in the stone, but the destined king has not arrived.
The Nine-tailed Fox stayed here for three days and three nights, and finally got tired of it. He jumped onto the platform and looked down at the bottom, "It's really embarrassing that so many people don't even have to pull out a broken sword."
The naked and naked mockery immediately angered everyone present.
"What a joke, you woman."
"Bastard, come down here and choose the King's Sword. You will definitely not be allowed to be defiled as a woman."
"Bastard, I'm going to kill you."
The Nine-tailed Fox never cared about these envious, jealous and hated words.
"Look, wastes." The Nine-tailed Fox mocked again, then held the sword in the stone tightly and pulled it out with force.
The sword in the stone was pulled out halfway, and everyone exclaimed.
The nine-tailed fox's current strength is even more terrifying than Meilin. It can destroy the earth with one blow. Even if it is chosen as the King's Sword, even if it is linked to the earth, it cannot block the Nine-tailed fox's strange power.
Crack Crack Crack Crack…
With such a sound, the nine-tailed fox pulled out most of the sword body, and everyone's heart was about to jump to his throat. Could it be that the sword in Shizhong is also a pervert, and only women can pull it out?
"Did you see it? The useless guys, a broken sword, actually pulled it out, and it was thrown into the man's face."
The Nine-tailed Foxes laughed at each other again, and everyone was disgraced.
However, when only one sword tip left in the stone was about to be completely pulled out, the Nine-tailed Fox suddenly let go of his hand.
"It's just a broken sword, I don't care!"
Crack... The sword in the stone returned to its original position. (To be continued...)
