Chapter 667 665. Birth of a new king
The three of them turned right at the intersection and followed the flow of people to the square in front of the palace.
On the square, the big stone that the Ark dropped thirty-two years ago is still standing there.
The Broken Steel Excalibur is inserted into the stone, shining brightly in the sun.
For thirty-two years, countless people have tried to pull out the sword in the stone, but they have all failed. No one can move the sword in the stone and the big stone.
At the beginning, King Uther sent people to guard the sword in the stone, fearing that someone would pull it out, but after so many years, he saw that no one pulled it out, so he relaxed the guards and let people watch, making this place already a scenic spot. Anyone who enters the capital must come here to see it.
When the three of them came here, there were already many people around the boulder, and only a few guards stood aside to maintain order, and did not prohibit others from contacting.
From time to time, onlookers go up and touch it, wanting to gain a wave of luck, or try to pull out the sword in the stone. This kind of thing has happened almost every day for thirty-two years.
However, under the blockade of the royal family, few people know that the stone was put down by the legendary mage Merlin. They only know that one can become a king by pulling out the sword in the stone, and the latter news cannot be blocked.
"Go!"
Fang Zhou patted Arturia on the shoulder lightly and asked her to try it.
Arturia separated from the crowd and walked over eagerly.
Challengers are very common, but it is quite rare to be so young and beautiful, and they immediately attract a lot of attention.
"Little sister, draw out your sword, we will make you our king."
Someone in the crowd yelled, causing good-natured laughter.
Arturia waved her hand at the person who called out, then jumped onto the big rock lightly, and grabbed the hilt of the Broken Steel Excalibur with one hand.
Many people are staring closely, wanting to see the picture of the beautiful girl gnashing her teeth and sweating profusely but unable to pull it out.
Artoria took a deep breath and pulled it up forcefully.
"Zheng!"
Accompanied by the clear sound of the sword, Artoria easily pulled out the sword in the stone that had remained motionless for thirty-two years, and pointed it at the sky.
At this moment, the onlookers lost their voices collectively, including the guards, who all stared at this scene dumbfounded.
Fang Zhou smiled in the crowd, this sword was specially reserved for Artoria by him, and no one except her could pull it out.
This is a well-established shady scene, but no one will jump out and expose it.
With a slight movement in his mind, the wind and cloud in the sky changed, and a ray of sunlight broke through the clouds and cast down, shining on the Broken Steel Excalibur, reflecting a bright golden light.
Artoria holding a sword is bathed in light, dazzling like a god.
Under the guidance of Ark's divine sense, the onlookers were all shocked by this scene.
I don't know who in the crowd shouted "King".
More and more people shouted together, and they didn't know why they shouted like that, but they couldn't stop the fanatical atmosphere from spreading.
Arturia was a little nervous, subconsciously looking at the ark.
Fang Zhou showed her a reassuring expression.
The guards also recovered from the shock, and rushed to the palace to report.
Soon, the crowd was dispersed, and Arturia and Ark, who were holding the Broken Steel Excalibur, were invited into the palace.
Aya did not follow, she was too eye-catching standing with Arturia, it was related at first glance, and could not explain her identity.
In the palace, the officials have been summoned by King Uther.
After more than 30 years, most of the officials have changed their faces, only a small number of them are old and strong, and they have personally experienced the days of the coup more than 30 years ago.
Naturally, he also knows who left the sword in the stone and what it means to pull it out.
Not to mention the officials, even King Uther himself would not agree to a random person who can become the new king by pulling out the sword in the stone.
After so many years, the awe of Master Merlin has long since disappeared with time.
Originally no one could pull out the sword in the stone, so this matter was regarded as a strange talk, but now that it has been pulled out, that person still needs to meet, and then think about it after seeing it.
King Uther has already considered the solution. If the opponent is not sensible and wants to call the king as soon as he comes up, he will delay and chop.
If the other party is interested, reward a sum of money and ask the other party to present the sword in the stone, and this matter will be treated as never happened.
After waiting for a while, King Uther finally saw two people appear in the palace.
The moment he saw Arturia, King Uther was shocked, and his eyes widened in surprise.
It's too similar, this beautiful girl looks too much like his mistress Ali Shaman.
This reminded King Uther of his missing child seventeen years ago.
The ark next to Artoria was ignored, because Artoria held the Sword in the Stone.
King Uther stood up a little excitedly, and asked Artoria: "My child, what's your name?"
Artoria replied: "My name is Artoria Pendragon, and I drew the Sword in the Stone."
No one paid attention to the second half of the sentence, all focused on her surname.
Pendragon was changed on the day King Uther ascended the throne. There is no such surname in the whole country, and there is no possibility of the same surname.
King Uther was surprised and delighted: "Who gave you the name?"
Artoria could only turn her head to look at the ark.
King Uther's gaze also fell on Ark: "Who is your Excellency?"
Ark is extraordinary in appearance and bearing regardless of his attire, directly crushing everyone present, including the majestic and profound king, no one can treat him as an ordinary person.
Facing King Uther's searching eyes, Fang Zhou smiled slightly: "We meet again, Uther, I once said that when someone can pull out the sword in the stone, she will be your successor, and it will be the day we meet again .”
King Uther looked at the ark in amazement, and suddenly his whole body was shocked, and he blurted out in shock: "Are you...Master Merlin?"
His eyes were filled with disbelief. How could Master Merlin, an old man with a gray beard, turn into a young man with extraordinary bearing?
Fang Zhou laughed, and the mirage dragon robe on his body turned into a mage robe, and a gray beard grew on his face, which suddenly turned into Merlin's classic skin.
There was a burst of exclamation in the palace. They had all heard that it was with the help of Master Merlin more than 30 years ago that King Uther could successfully inherit the throne.
The ark only lasted for a while before recovering its appearance. King Uther said in surprise: "Master Merlin, it really is you. For so many years, I have kept the position of chief court mage in the air for you..."
Fang Zhou raised his hand to interrupt him, and patted Arturia on the shoulder: "This is your daughter who disappeared back then. I found it for you. She pulled out the sword in the stone I left behind and should be yours." Heir."
King Uther said awkwardly: "This..."
His eyes fell on Arturia, there was joy of reunion of father and daughter, but also deep worry.
