Lord Stark

On the one hand, the European countries are small and narrow and have never been unified. On the other hand, it is also because the secular kingship lacks enough power. Therefore, the kingship has always been in the cracks.

In the ancient Roman era, the royal family at that time were generally descendants of the Greek gods. Therefore, they still possessed a certain amount of extraordinary power, which was enough to suppress all dissatisfaction. But later, the spread of Christianity strengthened the theocracy, and the Holy See had its own With its extraordinary power, and it is getting stronger and stronger, under the influence of various aspects, Europe has been divided into small countries. These small countries are independent, and even in order to consolidate the kingship, they have to bow to the theocracy.

As an island country, England is relatively less oppressed by theocracy. In the generation of King Arthur, in order to fight against the aristocratic forces represented by theocracy, he even cooperated with Merlin, a top wizard. King Arthur secured his throne, and Merlin Became the uncrowned king among wizards, or god or not.

But now under the general environment, the English royal family can’t stand alone. After all, the civilians under its rule are almost all believers in God. After the Holy See issued an order and churches everywhere responded, the royal power seemed very weak.

To put it bluntly, both wizards and the Holy See have big fists. It was okay when wizards were on the side of the royal family. Kingship and theocracy maintained a fragile balance, but now the theocracy is obviously unwilling to play cards according to common sense. As the background board, they are waving their fists and want to end in person. Even for the legitimacy of their own kingship, they have to draw a clear line from the wizards in name.

The most embarrassing thing is that, as the weaker side, even if the royal family wants to help the wizard, there is not much way to do it. After all, the Holy See has a lot of ways to change England's king.The Pendragon family has a lot of members, it’s really not good, and there are a lot of blood-related cousins ​​abroad, waiting in line to be kings, they don’t care about these things before they become kings, as for the future, we will wait and see Let's talk after the king!

But now, the news from Edmund Pendragon obviously gave them a new choice, that is to hold the power in their own hands instead of relying on the power of others.

It’s embarrassing to say that King Arthur was almost the most powerful knight in Europe at that time, but his descendants were very disappointing. Although it is not impossible to climb a horse, it is just like that. It is rare that there is a As an official knight, the qualifications are also somewhat doubtful.There were twelve knights of the round table under King Arthur, and these twelve knights of the round table were rewarded after King Arthur successfully ascended the throne. Everything will change. Each generation of the Twelve Knights of the Round Table works hard to let their descendants inherit the power of the knights. Therefore, they are not very obedient to the royal family now. Although they have not reached the point of rebellion, many orders to the royal family are also Treat it as if you didn't hear it, and ignore it!

The royal family has always wanted to solve this problem, but so far, no one who can inherit the power of the sword in the stone has been found, so they can only endure it. They have been trying to find a way to obtain real power, Edmund Pendela Another goal for Gong to enter the magic world in disguise is to find wizards who can really be used by the royal family, or find a way to train wizards who can be loyal to the royal family. If they are Pendragon's own people, that would be great.

The idea of ​​the royal family is also very common. Otherwise, why do many kings marry queens who are witches in Grimm's fairy tales?Although it is a fairy tale, it is also reality in a sense.

Edmund Pendragon does have some talent in mage training. He has successfully constructed a model of a one-ring spell, and if he builds two more, he will be an official mage.

Even though it was difficult to transmit the letter, Edmund Pendragon described the problems and troubles in the process of mage training in as much detail as possible. According to his own understanding, he proposed a necessary factor for becoming a mage, that is, spirituality. To be strong and tenacious, as for other aspects, he has not realized yet.

Now King Edward of England looked serious. He stretched out his fingers, tapped on the table, and said, "What do you think of this?"

All the people present were members of the royal family. The royal family did not want to share this kind of matter with other nobles, even the court nobles.

Someone immediately said: "Let our people learn, if the royal family has a group of mages, then we don't have to worry about anything!"

Immediately, someone retorted: "Edmond can learn magic, can everyone else learn it? Think about it, and you need a certain talent to learn it! Even if you count the royal family's offshoots and relatives, the total is only How many people are there, and how many people here can learn those magics, even if they have learned it, if they can't become a relatively powerful mage, what's the use if they only know a little trick?"

There are also people who are very worried: "The situation is complicated enough now. I heard that the two mages want to recruit students throughout Europe. If there are enough powerful mages in the families of the feudal nobles below, what will their attitude be? If you want to expand, how should you deal with it then?"

In short, a group of people are not blindly optimistic. The royal family is now in an embarrassing situation, and they have to think more about it.

King Edward thought for a while, and finally said: "I think we need to convey our opinions to those two beings. Maybe, if we pay a certain price, they will help us?" Unsure up.

The people below were a little worried: "If these mages also want the kingship, what should they do?"

"Come on, what is royal power to them? Look at the Holy See, a regional bishop dares to sneer in the palace!" A middle-aged man sneered, and he said directly, "Your Majesty, we can no longer shrink back , if there is not enough power in hand, the Pendragon family will not be able to maintain the current rule! Look, in the name of exterminating wizards, the lords below have already moved, and wars may be launched at any time. As long as they slander their enemies as wizards, they can justifiably lead their own troops to attack other people's territories, so where is the majesty of the royal family?"

King Edward nodded and said, "That's right, anyway, we need to get an accurate statement. As for how to choose, it depends on the situation! As for the price, even if they want the sword in the stone, it's not impossible!"

"Your Majesty!" His subordinates exclaimed several times. The sword in the stone has a very special meaning in the royal family. Even if no one can inherit the power of the sword in the stone, but the sword in the stone remains in the royal family, which proves the legitimacy of the kingship , If this is sent out, what will others say if they find out?

King Edward looked serious, and he said directly: "If the sword in the stone can't inherit its power, then it's just a symbol, besides, besides the Pendragon family, who knows what's going on with the sword in the stone? Can the aristocrats and commoners below tell the difference between the real and the fake?" The implication is to turn around and make a fake.

Although a group of people were reluctant, they still accepted King Edward's statement. What they have to do now is to call Edmund as an intermediary and contact the two mages to know their attitudes and make corresponding actions. Decide.

Edmund is very bitter. Ever since he "confessed" that he gave up the wizarding path and wanted to be a mage, he has been isolated. Of course, as an adult, he doesn't really care about this, magic makes him He found it very miraculous. Although it was only a few zero-ring magic tricks and a basic one-ring spell, he had already realized that the light of the mage's path, he was obsessed with the almost endless magic net, and was dazzled by it.But the biggest problem at present, even if he vaguely knew that the mage academy was already under construction, but he didn't see it at all, and, later on, he almost had no chance to see Matthew and Loki, even if he was in their He squatted at the resting place, but he didn't see any of them, which made him feel very depressed.

Now that there are new orders coming from the royal family, Edmund is about to grab the ground with his head. If he can't see anyone, what else can he say?You can leave a note for dinner, but can this kind of thing be said so openly?Edmund wanted to wait for the opportunity, but the problem was that the royal family urged him from time to time, and Edmund was upset by this. When building the model of the second one-ring spell, something went wrong, causing The magic backfired, so he had no choice but to make up his mind, or find a way to find someone.

After hearing that Matthew and Rocky had been in the Forbidden Forest these days, Edmund summoned up his courage and prepared to go to the Forbidden Forest to find someone.As a non-native wizard, Edmund has almost no understanding of dangerous magical creatures. Even the professors above have warned that there are many dangerous creatures in the Forbidden Forest, and they should not approach them until they have enough strength. He still had no idea, and after thinking that he had made enough preparations, he quietly ran to the Forbidden Forest to find someone.

As soon as Edmund entered the Forbidden Forest, Matthew found out. He immediately guessed that this person probably had no other choice, otherwise he would not have come to the Forbidden Forest to find someone.However, Matthew is not a fairy godmother who responds to every request. As a mage, if he is so reckless and runs around without any ability, he will die in the street in the future!In order for him to learn a lesson, Matthew thought about letting this little rookie know that the world is actually scary!Besides, no one cherishes things that are easily obtained. Tang Seng has to go through ninety-nine and eighty-one difficulties to get a Buddhist scripture, not to mention that Edmund's current responsibility is no less than that of Tang Seng in a sense.

So, Edmund's next road was full of ups and downs and thorns. Even if those large magical creatures didn't show up, just those little things were enough for Edmond to drink a pot. After getting rid of those weird magical creatures, before he had time to take a breath, he was entangled by the devil's net that came out of nowhere. Edmund finally squeezed out his last bit of magic power and released a few sparks. , but it obviously had no effect, just when he thought he was going to die, a milky white light entered his body, the devil's net also loosened automatically, a clear road appeared on the ground, and a voice rang in his ears : "Follow!"
