Any qualified Brettonia citizen would not be unfamiliar with the legend of the Sword in the Stone.
Its previous and only master was the famous Knight King of Brettonia, a peerless martial artist whose power once shook the world. When the Knight King was young, he pulled out the Sword in the Stone and began his legendary life. He led the army to successive victories, defeated all the opponents in Brettonia, unified the regime, and established the Knight Kingdom that was admired by countless people.
Unfortunately, due to a series of internal conflicts, the prosperous kingdom soon fell apart. The King of Knights himself died from serious injuries during the war of rebellion. Legend has it that the Sword of the King, which he wielded, returned to the land of dreams along with his body, never to appear in the world again. That was the punishment of God to the people of Brettonia, punishing them for betraying the noble and flawless King, henceforth living in division and war.
Of course, there were many legends about the Knight King. Many people firmly believed that he was not dead, but was only temporarily asleep. There were even travelers from the East who said that a long, long time ago, they had seen the Sword in the East. However, most of these rumors were difficult to verify. Now, the only thing that people firmly believed was that. Only the Knight King could use the Sword in the Stone. It was the Sword of the King, and also the sword that belonged to the Knight King. It could never be given to others. Unless the Knight King appeared, the Sword in the Stone would forever sleep.
And now, the Sword of the King that had disappeared for a hundred years had unexpectedly reappeared in the world!
Inside and outside Dragon City, millions of people stared at the sky, staring at the bloody sword that could not hide its sharpness.
"The Knight King's Sword in the Stone?"
"It's really the Sword in the Stone?"
As the proof of the royal power of Brettonia, the Sword in the Stone had an extraordinary significance for every citizen of Brettonia. When the Sword in the Stone appeared in the world, every Brettonia citizen who saw it would feel a throbbing desire to submit from the bottom of their heart. That kind of palpitating was unique. As long as one had a love for the land of Brettonia, they would not mistake it.
Then, the more important question was, "Why is the Sword in the Stone in her hand?"
"Who is she?"
The Sword in the Stone was the sword of the Knight King. Only the Knight King could pick up the Sword in the Stone. This was a self-evident truth in the land of Brettonia. But now, the Sword in the Stone was in the hands of a girl...
Could it be that she was the Knight King? Or, after over a hundred years, had the Sword in the Stone given up on its original master?
Countless questions filled their minds, causing them to even forget what they were supposed to do. Within Dragon City's barracks, thousands of people stopped fighting and stared blankly at the changes in the sky.
"I didn't expect it to be you." Even if his chest was pierced by a heavy sword, Faceless One's voice still remained calm. It was just that, under the serious injury, his voice was so weak that only the two of them could hear it. "You really didn't die."
In this regard, Aya didn't say a word. She just tried her best to stab the Stone Sword deeper into Faceless One's body.
It could be said that Wang Lu had risked his life for this opportunity. Faceless One was a cautious and cunning person, so how could it be easy to deceive him? Aya once fought against Faceless One. At that time, there was no lack of wise people among her Knights of the Round Table. However, despite their joint efforts, Faceless One still managed to escape.
To be honest, this was the first time for Aya to see Faceless One being deceived! If it weren't for Wang Lu using Liu Li, Quan Zouhua, and herself as bait, and sacrificing tens of millions of spirit stones to launch a sword strike that was enough to threaten a high order profession, Faceless One would never hastily change his target to catch Marina and her daughter. And without that haste, it was impossible for him not to see that Marina had been replaced.
And without that moment of negligence, Aya wouldn't have been able to stab him with her sword.
As a spirit of the departed, her strength was far from returning to its peak. On the basis of trying to suppress the side effects, she could at most erupt with the power of a high order profession, and only for a moment. With the supreme power of the divine weapon Stone Sword, Aya successfully broke through Faceless One's defense. However, after the heavy sword penetrated his body, Aya found that Faceless One's body had far exceeded the general category. She didn't know what kind of secret method was used to strengthen it. Not only was it as hard as steel, but it also contained an unusually powerful energy. Every time the Stone Sword penetrated a bit deeper, it could feel a great repulsive force. At the same time, the sword was also under intense pressure. Were it not for the indestructible Stone Sword, it would inevitably be damaged under this shock.
However, Faceless One's resistance only lasted for a moment. Under the increasingly powerful destructive power of the Stone Sword, the resistance finally collapsed. Faceless One sighed. A large amount of blood gushed out from every pore of his body. Only his pale face remained white.
"Congratulations, you've defeated the evil Faceless One and won this round." While saying that, Faceless One took out a pen and drew a bloody smiley face on his face. "But just like a hundred years ago, the war is not over. I look forward to the third fight with you. I hope you can live to that time."
With that, Faceless One's blood-stained robe suddenly twisted, as if a void vortex was created inside. Faceless One's entire body and the blood that gushed out were sucked dry by the vortex in a flash, disappearing without a trace.
At this time, Aya was like a dried up oil lamp. When the vortex sucked her, she felt her arm sink, and the Stone Sword faintly showed signs of falling out of her hand. She hastily pulled it back, but the vortex also disappeared. When her physical strength was exhausted, it suddenly caused a burst of annoyance inside her body. Her vision turned black, and she was about to fall.
However, just as she was about to fall, a pair of powerful arms supported her.
"Well done, Aya. Betting everything on you was really the right choice."
Aya closed her eyes, feeling the warmth behind her. She didn't want to open her eyes, and didn't want to speak. She just faintly smiled and uttered an 'em' sound.
"Ai, killing the big boss with one sword strike. Aya, you're really worthy to be the Knight King, domineering."
Listening to this obviously exaggerated and insincere praise, Aya was both angry and amused. However, the smile on her face became a bit more intense.
"Hey, you used too much force just now, so your hair is a bit messy. The ahoge on your head is sticking up. Do you want me to help you pluck it?"
Aya suddenly opened her eyes. Her cold eyes made people shudder. "If you dare to touch it, you'll die."
"Damn, what kind of rule is this? Could it be that the ahoge on your head has the same reproductive function as the stamen? I can't touch it!?"
While the two were laughing and joking, a heavy voice suddenly came in.
"Who … are you?"
Bedivere's whole body was bathed in blood. He was also like a dried up oil lamp, but he insisted on standing still. His blood-stained eyes stared straight at Aya and the Stone Sword in her hand.
"This sword, why is it in your hand? Where is its original owner? What happened to His Majesty the Knight King? He's still alive, right? You must know something! "
The more Bedivere talked, the more excited he became. Under the agitation of his emotions, his control over his body weakened a bit. Several wounds on his body ruptured and blood flowed out.
"Damn, Bedivere, your head is like a whale that's spurting blood!"
Bedivere seemed to not hear Wang Lu's exclamation. His eyes were always locked on Aya.
"What happened to His Majesty the Knight King, please tell me!"
Aya could hardly face Bedivere's bloodshot eyes. For this loyal and devoted knight, her heart was moved beyond words, but more than that, she felt guilty.
If it weren't for her mistake, how could Brettonia fall apart? How could those excellent Knights of the Round Table kill each other? How could the heavy burden of protecting the Dragon Race's bloodline fall on Bedivere alone? Moreover, what could she say about the whereabouts of the Knight King?
"I, I beg you. Whether you're the descendant of Galahad or someone else, please tell me, what happened to my King? Where, where is he? "Bedivere's voice trembled in excitement." I've always, always missed him. "
Faced with this situation, Aya's heart was sour. Finally, she couldn't hold back anymore and slightly opened her mouth to say, "I …"
"She's the daughter of the Knight King."
From the side, Wang Lu coldly said, and then reached out to press Aya's shoulder. He poured his magical power into her so that she could no longer make a sound.
"It's obvious. In addition to the daughter of the Knight King, who else could inherit the Sword of the King? In addition to the daughter of the Knight King, who else could easily behead Faceless One? "
Bedivere's whole body was greatly shaken. He incredulously looked at Aya. The daughter of the Knight King? His Majesty the Knight King left behind a descendant?
However, the more Bedivere looked at her, the more he felt that the girl before him had too many similarities with the Knight King who once ruled Brettonia. The same blonde hair, the same deep eyes. Although the color of the pupils was different, the heroic spirit between her eyebrows was of the same origin.
Then, the most important thing was her power. Although it was still immature compared to the legendary level power of the Knight King, the essence was almost exactly the same. Especially when he recalled that sword strike that assassinated Faceless One, it was full of the Knight King's style — even if it was a camouflage sneak attack, it still looked dignified and impressive!
After a long silence, Bedivere startled. "Then, what about His Majesty the Knight King?"
Wang Lu coldly said, "So what if you know? Don't you think he's tired enough? "
Upon hearing this, Bedivere was once again shocked. His mind suddenly returned to the time when he fought under the command of the Knight King, back to the time when after endless glory and glory, there was a sharp turn and then a gloomy fall. After a long time, Bedivere's eyes were brimming with tears. "Yes, this subordinate is incompetent, I'm ashamed! But I really want to know, is His Majesty okay? "
Wang Lu said, "The person is still there, the will is still there, but everything in the world has its own reincarnation. He has done what he should do. Now, he has to wait for his descendant, that is, his daughter."
Bedivere asked, "Does His Majesty want to …?"
"Do you still need to ask? Of course, it's to expel the church and restore the country. "
Expel the church and restore the country? This short sentence contained far too much content. After more than one hundred years of infiltration, the church has long been deeply rooted in the land of Brettonia, and the belief in Holy Light has almost replaced the spirit of chivalry. How could it be easy to expel the church?
However, this was the arrogant Knight King who always pursued victory. If he succumbed to the power of the church, Bedivere would be disappointed instead.
"The last question, who are you?" Bedivere seriously looked at Wang Lu. From the beginning to the end, everything about Aya was said by him. Aya herself didn't open her mouth, but there was no sign of resistance on her face. Obviously, she had a lot of trust in Wang Lu. But … how could Wang Lu be entrusted with such a heavy responsibility by the daughter of His Majesty the Knight King?
Wang Lu thought for a moment, and then said with a smile, "City Master is really forgetful. Didn't I tell you earlier, I'm her gigolo!"
Gigolo your sister!
