Conquest knights from Hogwarts

Chapter 290 The Immortal King's Heart

Walking around the large and heavy round table in front of him, Ron stood in front of the throne, carefully looking at the man on the throne.

His sturdy body supported the knight armor he was wearing, and his not-so-vicissed face was full of determination. Arthur never showed signs of aging. As the red dragon guarding Britain, even if he didn't use any potion to prolong his life, he was flowing with giant King Arthur of the blood of the dragon can easily live for 200 years, which is beyond the lifespan of ordinary wizards.

But he was only a few dozen years old, but he had a tired face, and he could only see some tiny clues in the creases at the corners of his eyes.

He sits majestically in the middle of the throne, and beside him, a broken knight sword is placed on the side. Although thousands of years have passed, it is still as bright as new.

I don't know why such a precious sword was broken into scrap.

The letters engraved on the spine of the sword revealed the information of the broken sword.

"Caliburn"

This means the sword of choosing kings. Arthur Pendragon took out this sword embedded in the stone and embarked on the road to become the king of Britain. Middle sword.

As described in the legend, the sword was broken, but whether it was broken because of a duel that violated the spirit of chivalry or for other reasons, even only King Arthur himself knows.

But he is dead, and people can only get news, true or false, from legends.

Yes, the figure sitting majestically on the throne in front of Ron was not a living person. Although he was as lifelike as a wax figure, giving people the illusion that King Arthur had never passed away, the fake was still fake after all.

This is an exquisite fake body that freezes the charm of King Arthur during his lifetime.

The only thing that might not be a fake is probably the armor he is wearing. The battle marks full of years on it are the old wounds that precipitated the blood of real killing.

Ron scanned the palace for a week. The empty palace had no extra decorations. Perhaps it was because King Arthur, who planned to die quietly, did not want to be entangled in disturbances after his death, so he did not leave other people's seats, which symbolized the round table. The round table of the Knights was never filled with chairs.

"Your old man is really handsome."

Ron sighed at King Arthur's fake body, with a sigh in his tone.

"Will Great Britain last?"

The fake body like a wax sculpture suddenly opened its mouth, and the fake body, which is definitely not real, turned its head slightly as if it had come alive, and the two pairs of lake-blue eyes collided again.

"It's a human or a ghost!"

Ron, who was immediately startled and jumped up, never thought that the dummy could move, but after being surprised, he quickly came back to his senses. In the magical world, although the dead can't be resurrected, there are many Things can indeed indirectly preserve the traces of the deceased for a long time.

The portraits of Hogwarts are one, and the moving statues seen in Egypt are the second, especially the portraits of Hogwarts. There are many paintings depicting people who existed hundreds of years ago, and they are still alive today. Can move and speak.

Ghosts are also one of them, but the birth of ghosts is too metaphysical, so far I have not been able to find a 100% way to turn myself into a ghost.

The King Arthur in front of him is not a ghost, but Ron does not doubt that in the era when King Arthur existed, they would not be able to make a carrier with a longer shelf life than the portrait, leaving his traces for thousands of years.

If this is not the case, how arrogant is King Arthur to make a dummy on the throne after death as a decoration?

Ron was stunned for a few seconds, and he looked at the pair of lake blue eyes that were almost exactly the same as his own and settled down.

"Great Britain is no longer what it used to be. After you died, the magical empire of Great Britain fell apart in an instant, and you became the king who only survived in legends."

King Arthur's fake body didn't move, but there seemed to be a wave of loss and regret coming from him.

"However, your Knights of the Round Table have not disappeared, and some of them have become Merlin Knights to consolidate the inheritance of magic, while the last knights have been stationed in the castle that sealed the demon Asmodeus, that is Lancelot A descendant of Te, his name is Bell Ryder, and he holds the lake of no regrets."

It seemed that the eyes of the dummy in front of him suddenly lit up a little, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"It's you, Lancelot." King Arthur looked at the round table in front of him, "It's great, you're back."

"However, he has been brooding over his betrayal. For thousands of years, generations have stayed there, just like atonement, waiting for your forgiveness."

"I never blamed him, Lancelot." Arthur said calmly, and looked at Ron again.

"So I forgive on your behalf." Ron smiled.

"Very good." He nodded and said, "Thank you."

"It seems that I have one less regret in my life, which is great."

When he got up, the armor on his body made a crisp sound. Arthur, who was already a dummy, didn't seem to be sitting stiff for a long time. After fulfilling his wish, he stood up and held the sword, then lowered his head and looked at Ron in front of him.

Compared to Ron who can continue to grow taller, he is a whole head taller than Ron, and his body is even wider than Ron today.

"What made you find this place? The sage Merlin should have sealed this place and turned it into a lost place isolated forever. Is it Avalon? I don't know if it sheltered Britain after I'm gone."

"It is the broken steel sword that is calling me."

Ron pulled out the illusory holy sword from the Avalon scabbard, and the platinum-gold light seemed to dazzle King Arthur for a moment.

"It turns out that my blood has not been cut off, that's great! That's great!"

He smiled heartily for the fake body, and this behavior made him more and more like a living person, "Tell me your name, child."

"Ron Weasley."

Ron also wanted to see King Arthur's surprised look when he heard that his surname was not Pendragon, but unfortunately, he failed, and the king didn't seem surprised by this.

"Then come with me. Since the Broken Steel Sword is calling you, it seems that some accidents have occurred in the plan of Merlin and me."

"They really aren't that."

King Arthur paused, and then asked, "Since you have seen Asmodeus, is it dead?"

"Dead, I killed it myself."

"it is good!"

"Hahahaha!"

Hearty laughter echoed in the empty palace hall. For him, there was no better news than this.

"Come to where my body is, the Broken Steel Sword is there."

Arthur stepped forward and took Ron out of the hall of the royal city, and walked deeper into the royal city. On the way, he narrated a long-standing story.

"The era I live in is the end of silver, and I have never witnessed the glorious peak of the silver age. At that time, magic withered and wars were rampant. The residual poison left by the silver age became the fuse of the war."

"The demon was killed and sealed, but the traces left by the demon did not completely disappear in the world with the sudden disappearance of the Silver Age."

"I draw my sword as king, and that is why I defend Great Britain."

"In the land of Britain, a cunning demon escaped the seal that bound him, and ravaged the land where I live, but it is often invisible to people. This cunning rat hiding in the shadowy corner wove There are many tempting traps that make people rush into them involuntarily, making the already turbulent world even more chaotic."

"He's the most cunning of all demons—"

King Arthur and Ron stopped in a hall in the center of the castle. In front of them was an unusually conspicuous stone gate.

"Mephisto, the demon captured and suppressed by Merlin and I, has appeared in the world with countless faces, spreading greed, jealousy and other evil deeds in the world for fun."

"I failed to kill him, and neither Merlin nor I could kill him at that time."

King Arthur pointed to his heart, "I was injured, and Merlin couldn't heal me, and I was plotted by Asmodeus later, so I can only take Mephisto with me before I die, at least to leave My world, I can't let him go back."

"Actually, it's quite a failure, isn't it? My king did it, but it's actually quite a failure."

King Arthur laughed at himself, raised the broken golden sword and walked towards the stone gate.

"I'll be counting on you next time, my child. The call of the Broken Steel Sword is not without a reason. Mephisto's strength is beyond Merlin and I's expectations. We failed to do what the sages of the Silver Age could do." matter."

"It's a pity that I didn't have the chance to see that brilliance. Presumably at that time, people can live well."

"Sorry, I'm just a phantom, I can't help you more."

King Arthur inserted the broken golden sword into a key lock left in the center of the stone door.

"Can the name of Pendragon not only remain in the legend?"

Before turning the key, Queen Arthur turned to Ron and asked.

"You have to ask my father to change the name. His name is Arthur Weasley."

"Hahahaha!"

"Interesting! Really fun!"

"Then go and ask him."

He turned the hilt of the golden sword and opened the door that had been locked for thousands of years.

"I'm here waiting for news from you."

He sat on the stone steps of the door with his back leaning against the doorpost of the stone door, with the golden blade beside him.

While holding Avalon in one hand and the Illusory Holy Sword in the other, Ron walked steadily towards the slowly opening door ahead.

Behind the door is an extremely large stone platform. In the middle of the huge circular platform etched with alchemy patterns, a gorgeous sword inlaid with precious stones is inserted in the center of the platform.

The voice calling for Ron spread out from there, and the strange but familiar feeling of intimacy filled Ron's heart.

But the most eye-catching thing here is not the Broken Steel Sword, but a crimson, broken, and slowly beating Dragon's Furnace Heart hanging in the air right above the Broken Steel Sword.

A king's heart that will never be extinguished even after death.

　　I have to work overtime again tonight~ I can't owe an update now.

　　It's not my wish to be in debt, nor is it my wish to stay up late, but if people don't have faith and don't stand up, it's over.
