Chapter 649 Dark Arthurian Legend

If you say what Yi Cheng’s biggest gain has been by far tonight’s dance, it is probably the current conversation.

Because of the Queen's accidental attack and the sudden attack of the Speaker of the Dark Countermeasures, Yi Cheng has not yet made any relevant requests to the British royal family for the purpose of this trip. After tonight's dance, starting from tomorrow, the receptionist will also change from the royal family to Protestantism, which is equivalent to wasting a few days.

Although it was because of force majeure and what he had to say, Yi Cheng had obtained some information about the British royal family, and this trip was worth it. However, considering the mission goals assigned by the Red Mentor at the beginning, Yi Cheng originally planned to find an opportunity to ask Queen Elizabeth or Prince Christina about Lake Avalon tonight, and make a visit request.

But what he did not expect was that his early communication and conversation with Archbishop Sally surprised him to obtain an information—

Lake Avalon...is no longer there.

"The status of this word Avalon... in ancient Celtic mythology is equivalent to the Garden of Eden in the Bible, and is a holy land of bliss."

After taking the grape juice handed over by Yi Cheng attentively, Archbishop Sally, who had previously told Yi Cheng in detail about the "Knights of the Round Table" incident, this time he obviously did not feel his abnormal emotions, but continued to tell the previous story in a calm tone.

"...But in fact, Lake Avalon and Island of Avalon were the gathering places for evil banshees and wizards at that time. The rulers of Avalon were nine legendary banshees, which are the legendary 'fairy in the lake'."

As the saying goes... the truth of fairy tales is often dark.

Under Archbishop Sally's narration, a complete, real legend of King Arthur was finally restored in front of Yi Cheng.

In that chaotic era, evil banshees and wizards gathered together to subvert the rule of the British royal family. However, the power of the royal family, coupled with the existence of the state religion that assisted the royal family, made these evil abilities afraid, so they formulated a plan to lure the royal family into chaos and depravity.

First, they sent a powerful wizard, the loyal follower of King Arthur, the great magician Merlin, to lure King Arthur's father to have a relationship with the wife of the most trusted grand duke under his command. In the end, the loyal grand duke died unknownly, and her wife became the queen of Britain, the mother of King Arthur.

After that, the kingdom fell into chaos, and Merlin successfully gained the trust of the old king and queen, shouldered the responsibility of raising and educating King Arthur, and brought it back to Avalon. At this time, the banshees in the lake found in horror that the power held by the ungrown kingdom heir was so powerful and unimaginable that even their evil witchcraft could not have any effect on it. In the initial plan, the idea of ​​cultivating him into a tyrannical king and puppet through evil magic was also ruined.

So, the banshees killed the old king and queen, concealed Arthur's identity, in an attempt to seize the power of the kingdom, but they never thought that in the competition for the throne, the young King Arthur accidentally pulled out the "sword of stone" guarded by the state religion, symbolizing the identity of the king of Britain. They had never been pulled out, ascended the throne with the support of the state religion, and eventually became the new king of Britain.

After ascending the throne, King Arthur's outstanding abilities began to be revealed, and the kingdom began to become increasingly powerful. The strength of this legendary king was even more powerful, which made the banshees feel a great threat. Therefore, under the temptation of Merlin, who was still trusted, King Arthur duels against the premise of violating the spirit of the chivalrous spirit, thereby filthing the power of the sword in the stone and breaking it. Merlin then led King Arthur back to Lake Avalon, and the banshees pretending to be fairies gave a magic sword to the king from the lake as a sword, and used the magic sword to influence King Arthur's will and beliefs.

At this time, the bishop of the State Church had already noticed the signs of conspiracy. Without being able to persuade King Arthur to abandon the magic sword, he installed a scabbard that could isolate all evil intentions for the magic sword. However, the scabbard was then bewitched by Merlin. King Arthur's half-sister, the dead daughter of the dead grand duke, and King Arthur, who had lost the scabbard, had an inappropriate relationship with this sister.

At the same time, through another secret son, who had had an association with King Arthur when he was young, and Lancelot, a knight who grew up being raised by a banshee in Avalon since he was a child, the banshees quietly controlled the "Knights of the Round Table" of King Arthur, and encouraged King Arthur to embark on the journey of unifying Britain and exploring the vast land outside Britain.

"...This is really an unsolvable death."

After hearing this, even as Yi Cheng is a bystander now and his understanding of the subsequent plot, he can't help but feel this emotion.

Almost all the people closest to him are undercover agents of the Banshee. It can be said that it is a blessing that King Arthur can grow up. Despite this, after the sword broke in the stone and holding a magic sword that can affect his mind at any time, his second half of his life... seems to be naturally destined to be a tragedy.

In fact, according to the legend Icheng knew, King Arthur eventually betrayed his relatives and died at the hands of his and his sister's illegitimate son, and his soul returned to Avalon... Considering that the first half of the plot is not much different from the legend except for the conspiracy theory, it is not difficult for Yicheng to imagine what the ending of this story will be.

"Yes, it is undeniable that the banshees' strategies are perfect. Under the influence of the Knights of the Round Table, Lancelot and others, King Arthur no longer trusts the state religion, which also made him lose the most powerful key arm around him that can turn the situation around."

"And then...then there is nothing?"

Yi Cheng asked tentatively.

"Of course not."

Unexpectedly, Archbishop Sally smiled at Yicheng playfully.

"If history really follows this trend, then the British royal family and Protestantism today may no longer exist."

"Wait a minute...I don't understand."

Yi Cheng, who was full of doubt, could not contain his curiosity.

"If it's true as you said just now... I can't think of any other reversal of King Arthur."

"So, before continuing the story, I want to remind you..."

Seeing Archbishop Sally suddenly become serious, Yi Cheng subconsciously tightened his body.

"Before I came, I didn't think you would discuss this topic with me. For this, I can only say that this may... be the arrangement of fate and the revelation of the Lord."

"Why?"

Yi Cheng was a little confused about this inexplicable explanation of the Bishop girl.

"Secondly, what I want to warn you is that perhaps you have not yet realized the significance and importance of being the 'protagonist' of this era, and perhaps the ending of this story can bring you corresponding revelation."

“…”

Why did you suddenly get involved in the "protagonist"?

Unexpectedly, Yi Cheng was stunned when he heard Sally's words, and then suddenly remembered something.

Yes... That's right, wasn't the legendary King Arthur the well-deserved "protagonist" in the era he lived in and in that period of history?

"As you think, it is exactly that--although somewhat incredible, at such a critical moment, King Arthur has had a turning point that would change his life."

Archbishop Sally took a sip of grape juice and smiled gently.

“He…gets the ‘Holy Grail’.”
