Chapter 6 King Arthur

Arthur didn't think she was alarmist, because he had indeed heard such rumors in the village in the past, and there were many similar threatening rumors, such as goblins who would come at night to steal cows, black cats that would suck people's last breath , a family of pig-headed men wandering in the forest... Witches appear frequently, and almost none of them are bloody and terrifying.

"Then you... why are you here?" Arthur hesitated, and he asked: "I mean, since you are a witch, why are you in the king's palace? If you want to do something, And why did you come to treat me?"

The maid snapped her fingers beautifully, she smiled and said, "You can call me 'Mei' for now, as for why I am here, I can only tell you that Uther knows my identity. By the way, forget I told you that Uther was your previous king... I only obey the orders of the 'king', whether it's him or you, and that's why I'm here to help you tonight."

Arthur believed her a little bit, otherwise, he couldn't imagine why this witch who hid so well treated him so differently?And since he left the village, a series of incidents have made him more vigilant. Those things that got him into trouble and danger have never been the frost and snow and hungry wolves he imagined at the beginning, so he is still With reservations.

The maid "Mei" continued: "The legend of the sword in the stone has been passed down for hundreds of years. I don't know how many warriors and heroes have tried to pull it out, but no matter how famous or brave they are, they have never gotten it." Its acknowledgment is also the reason why those nobles are so perfunctory every time they try their swords."

That's why I say you are special.There was a hint of curiosity in her emerald green eyes, but it wasn't annoying to Arthur.She seems to be a wise man who understands people's hearts very well. Whether in the church of that day or in the castle now, she can behave without hesitation.

Arthur's eyes flickered, and he said vaguely, "...I don't know either."

"Mei" smiled, and she took the initiative to change the topic and said, "Let's not talk about the sword in the stone for now, you will know its origin later. I came here to heal your wounds. I have already fallen asleep, the fatigue of the day will only make people unable to withstand the fatigue of the night, but I did not expect..."

She blinked: "You are hiding here, maybe you are afraid?"

"No," Arthur's voice sounded steady, "I'm just not used to it."

"Mei" thought for a while: "That's right, I heard from Sir Eckert that when Kai found you, you were just an apprentice carpenter in Rhine Town..."

Arthur's heart skipped a beat.In order to prevent Kay from recognizing him as a fake, he didn't try to ask him about his past, but what even he didn't expect was that the real "Arthur" who acted so high that day, his past was not the same. How noble.That person probably didn't know much about nobles, so he played him for so long, but he was never seen through.

"Yeah," Arthur said with a wry smile, "I always feel that inheriting the throne is not such a simple matter..."

"You are wrong." "Mei" shook his lower finger and said: "It is difficult to inherit the throne, but the most difficult thing is that after you ascended the throne, your origin is not recognized by them, just like Northon. As Berland said, you're 'lowborn'..."

Arthur gathered his hands together in the dark.

"Mei" seemed unaware: "But this point is not unchangeable..."

"How can birth be changed?" Arthur paused in surprise, because he thought of his bizarre experience during this period.

"You'll know the next day!" "Mei" smiled mysteriously, "I just hope you won't be surprised."

Something really big happened the next day.Yulfes, the trainer who trained him, came very late. When he arrived, the sun was almost rising to the sky.He walked in from the entrance of the training ground, complex emotions flashed in his eyes that should have been stern and cold, he still drew out his heavy and broad epee, and every attack after the start was full of strength.

But he didn't taunt Arthur anymore, as if his agitated emotions had been vented yesterday, and today he seemed extraordinarily silent, and he didn't reprimand Arthur for making a mistake, but just swung his long sword round and used both The fierce and fierce way forced Arthur to make up for his mistakes.

But after today's practice ended, the old knight who should have left directly left a meaningful sentence at the end. He said to Arthur: "I think you should know, even if your affairs are exposed Yes, but not everyone will bow down in front of you."

Arthur was puzzled, and he was confused about the meaning of his words, but it was not until lunch time that he found out from the servants who were serving him that it was Sir Eckert who made a speech in the square. then a special statement about him.

In the statement, he vividly described how he was entrusted with a certain treasure by the servants around King Uther more than ten years ago.The treasure was a newborn baby, who was quietly sent to his mansion by that person. The person told him that it was a child belonging to King Uther, and asked him to raise him as his own child... He cried loudly Confession, saying that he didn't do his best, and let the child be abducted by two crooks when he was young... and until today he finally found him, and the child was Arthur.

After Arthur heard this passage... If he hadn't experienced Eckert's perfunctory and indifferent treatment of him, he might really think that what he said was the truth.And all this is not over yet, the maid, who obviously respected a lot, continued to tell the story that happened later—Sir Eckert’s sudden revelation of such a “crazy news” will naturally be criticized by some people, and the first one is , is the Northumberland school.

The two sides engaged in a fierce scolding battle on the square. One side said that Sir Eckert was cheating, and he did not hesitate to tarnish King Uther's reputation in order to let his own child succeed; the other side also said that Northumberland had long since turned his back , I was not very respectful at a banquet held by Uther before his death. This time, he even brought a huge team over and let them camp around Camelot. I don't know what the intention is...

The reason why Instructor Ulfes believed it was because "May" took out a letter at the most critical moment—a letter written by King Uther himself.The content of the letter completely established Arthur's identity, and firmly welded his title of son of the king... Is this the surprise she said last night?

It really frightened him.

Although after that, he was no longer hindered on his way to the throne, but this also brought him more other problems-the enraged Northumberland had no more scruples, and he went back to his own country. The army, as if something was brewing, his anger was uncharacteristically unvented; his own identity had been problematic from the very beginning, and "Mei" had helped him so many times, once the "trick" was exposed, it was very likely that he would be rewarded. It is her cruel revenge; he is helpless in governing a country, and even the force to control the war situation is just spent in constant "failures"... and these are all things that are closely related to his life.

And in such a day-to-day focused exercise, Arthur finally ushered in the day of coronation that the Bishop of Canterbury had said.His mood is very complicated.

He was dressed in a most splendid dress, the inner garment was made of precious silk, which seemed to stick to the skin like nothing, and the outer was fastened with delicate pins. A crimson cloak, embroidered with The golden silk thread was unprecedentedly dignified and generous. On his feet were a pair of white deerskin boots, which covered his feet that had been cut by stones. It was soft and comfortable that he had never felt before.

His face was washed with the first spring water in the morning, and his blond hair was neatly done. When the Bishop of Canterbury finished reciting the prayers of the Bible, he carefully placed a bright and eye-catching crown on it. Arthur's head.The young man who was preparing to escape his fate as a serf was now standing on the highest point, looking around at his future subjects with his blue eyes clearer than the sky.

The sun was cast from the dome of the church, shining on his young and immature face, as if shining into a scene in history, he recited the oath of the king's enthronement in a clear and pure voice , the sound echoed repeatedly in the cathedral, as if a solemn promise had been made in the ears of every participant—such a divine and solemn moment made the kneeling people participate in a trance The sense of glory in the splendor.

After a long time, Arthur waved the scepter in his hand and made everyone stand up. He didn't notice the change of the people present, and he only looked at the front left.There, he saw the witch who came to him at night. She was dressed as a maid and felt Arthur's special gaze. The smile on her face widened, and she bowed slightly again, as if Expressing a kind of surrender is also like making a kind of affirmation.

But her affirmation is much more important than everyone's obedience. Arthur heaved a sigh of relief, and new strength was injected into his straight back. For the first time, there was a sense of majesty.

The author has something to say: Double update, I also want to double update...but I am afraid that I will not be able to do it tomorrow, so I will try it the day after tomorrow.
