"Well!" Merlin watched Vortigern escape from Camelot, but did not pursue him. Instead, he seemed to be talking to himself: "The strength of this humble king is incredible. Don't you think so?

Princess Morgan?”

A woman dressed in black appeared quietly next to the boulder at some point. Morgan glanced at Merlin fearfully and asked him: "Since you can defeat Vortigern, why don't you chase him and kill him?"

"Oh, in the stories sung by bards, warriors conquered the Demon King. Have you ever seen a sage who guided warriors to do the work of conquering the Demon King?" Merlin asked in a relaxed and cheerful tone.

"The sage only needs to guide the warriors to gain strength and move forward. The 'demon king' will be conquered by the 'warriors'!"

Faced with Merlin's answer, Morgan turned his attention to the sword in the stone and sneered pointedly: "I hope that 'brave' can defeat the 'Devil King' as you said. If he doesn't have that

As for me, I think he should just go back to where he came from!"

After saying that, Morgan looked away from the Sword in the Stone, then turned and left without looking back.

Merlin looked at Morgan's leaving figure, the smile on his lips did not change at all, "The Demon King will inevitably be defeated, and the brave will eventually win. This is the established ending of the 'Brave Story', and no one can change it!"

Morgan heard Merlin's words, but her leaving figure did not pause until she disappeared completely into the deep night.

Merlin looked up at the waning moon in the sky, waved his hand to remove the magic barrier that Vortigern had arranged long ago, and then left slowly.

After Merlin left, the square where the Sword in the Stone was placed returned to silence, and the night passed quietly.

Early the next morning, after Arthur and Kay got up, they went to the place where the Sword in the Stone was placed. Today was different from yesterday. There were many fewer people who wanted to draw the sword today.

They inquired with the people nearby and found out that after everyone found out that no one could pull out the sword in the stone, they made an appointment to compete in another place, so there were so few people here to watch.

Looking at the group of people in twos and threes, Kai asked Arthur in a low voice: "Artolis, are you going to go up and draw your sword today?"

"Um!"

Looking at the few people who went up to draw their swords, Arthur stepped forward. After climbing onto the boulder, Arthur lowered his eyes slightly and looked at the Sword in the Stone not far in front of him.

At this moment, a sound came from somewhere.

"Withdraw this sword and you will bear the fate of the whole of Britain!

Even if you encounter betrayal or accusation in the future, you will still encounter a miserable ending. In this case, are you still willing to pull out this sword?"

Following that inexplicable voice, scenes of hallucinations appeared in front of Arthur's eyes: a wife betrayed her husband, a subordinate accused him, a subordinate set off a rebellion, his own ultimate death, and finally the disintegration of the entire British Kingdom.

destroy.

Arthur looked at these scenes of fantasy, held the hilt of the Sword in the Stone tightly in his hand, and replied firmly: "I drew this sword, not to become a king, nor for glory, but to shoulder my responsibility."

, continue people’s happiness!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Arthur exerted his strength and pulled out the Sword in the Stone that was stuck on the boulder.

"Has the sword in the stone been pulled out?" Everyone below stared at this scene in a daze, feeling deeply unbelievable.

After a long while, when they realized that the sword in the stone, which no one had ever been able to pull out, had been pulled out by a strange young man, everyone felt dazzled.

I rubbed my eyes in disbelief and looked again at the scene just now.

"Someone has pulled out the sword in the stone!" I don't know who it was, roared, and everyone couldn't help but burst into an uproar. The news spread quickly, and people nearby came to watch.

Standing on the boulder, Arthur raised the Sword in the Stone generously and let everyone look at the Sword in the Stone.

Many people who got the news came to watch the person who pulled out the Sword of King Selection. Some nobles did not believe that Arthur could pull out the Sword in the Stone: "How is this possible? No one has ever been able to pull out the Sword in the Stone. You must have cheated."

.Or maybe someone else's action of drawing the sword caused the sword in the stone to loosen, and you, the boy, were lucky enough to pull it out!"

"Yes, yes!" Some people who failed to draw their swords immediately agreed after hearing this.

Some people heard the previous words and had a wrong thought: "Drawing the sword this time does not count. You are just a little-known boy. How can you be qualified to become the king? You must obediently hand over the sword in the stone and let someone else know it."

Those with prestige and qualifications are called kings!”

Standing on the boulder, looking down at the various expressions below, Arthur felt an inexplicable ridiculous feeling in his heart: "Is the original Arturia fighting for this kind of person?"

However, when he raised his eyes and saw the expectant looks cast by the civilians further away, Arthur suddenly felt a trace of determination in his heart: "No, these people are indeed not worth fighting for, but those who are more worthy of the common people

, but still trusts me wholeheartedly.

I don’t need to lament for those who don’t deserve it, I just need to let those who still yearn for happiness be able to live a safe and happy life!”

Suddenly, Arthur understood somewhat, but Arturia's mentality when she pulled out the sword in the stone. At this moment, he also secretly made up his mind!

More and more people gathered under the boulder, and many people were unwilling to let Arthur pull out the Sword in the Stone. These people tried their best to encourage the people around them, hoping to unite and coerce Arthur into handing over the Sword in the Stone.

At this moment, Merlin came over from a distance with a group of ministers.

"It's Merlin, the Archmage Merlin is here!" Someone with keen eyes saw Merlin's figure and immediately shouted loudly.

As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd surrounding the boulder suddenly dispersed through a passage.

Merlin and his ministers came to stand in front of the boulder. Merlin said with a smile: "I heard someone say just now that if you don't believe that this person pulled out the Sword in the Stone, why don't you let him put the Sword in the Stone back and let others

How about people pulling it out again?”

After hearing this, the nobles who were still a little guilty immediately agreed to Merlin's method.

In fact, it is easy to guess what these people are thinking.

They originally thought that the Sword in the Stone was growing on a boulder. Seeing that no one could pull it out, these people had given up trying. But when they saw someone pulling out the Sword in the Stone, it proved that the Sword in the Stone was not.

It didn't grow on a boulder. Since someone pulled it out, if you plug it back in, you will definitely be able to pull it out easily next time.

It's like a nail driven into wood. It is definitely difficult to pull out when it is driven in initially, but after the nail is driven back in according to the original hole, it will be much easier to pull out again.

Arthur didn't care about this, and inserted the Sword in the Stone back into the boulder with his backhand, and then got out of the way. Those who were not convinced by Arthur climbed onto the boulder one by one and began to try to pull out the Sword in the Stone again.

However, this attempt disappointed everyone present - no one could pull the sword in the stone out of the boulder!

After Arthur climbed back onto the boulder and pulled out the sword in the stone, everyone still couldn't accept the result.

Why is this happening?

Not only the nobles were disappointed, but even those with ambitions could not accept such a result.

Looking at the disappointed expressions on these people's faces, Merlin smiled and said to everyone present: "This sword in the stone is the sword of king selection that I specially asked the Fairy of the Lake to forge.

If you want to pull out the Sword of the Chosen King, you must have the determination to bear everything for the entire British people. If you have strange ideas of seeking power and glory, you must not be recognized by the Sword of the Chosen King, so you cannot pull out the stone.

Sword!"

After hearing Merlin's explanation, everyone couldn't help but be surprised.

Having said this, Merlin dropped another 'bomb': "Moreover, the young man who pulled out the sword from the stone is not a commoner. He is the child of King Uther, and he has inherited the blood of King Uther. What's more,

He is the red dragon of Britain, and it is even more reasonable and legal to become the heir of King Uther!"
