Chapter 662 661. The Sword in the Stone
Morgan felt Aya's killing intent and couldn't help shivering.
Aya is not in a hurry to deal with the culprit, there is still time.
After leaving the palace, Fang Zhou deliberately took out his broken steel Excalibur that he got from drawing a card, stabbed it into a big rock, and threw it on the square in front of the palace.
This movement attracted countless people to watch, the ark was suspended in the air, and said to the crowd gathered below: "Whoever can pull out this sword in the stone will inherit the throne of Edran."
After throwing down this super hot words, the ark disappeared out of thin air.
The entire square erupted in an instant, and countless people rushed forward to try to pull out the sword in the stone, even causing riots.
The movement here naturally attracted the attention of the royal palace. The guards rushed out to disperse the crowd. King Uther, who had already announced his name change, hurried out with his officials.
Seeing an exquisite long sword stuck on the boulder, King Uther and the officials finally understood what Master Merlin said before he left.
what the hell?
Put a sword in a stone and pull it out to be the next king?
Children’s playing house is not such a joke, is this treating Edran’s throne as mud?
If someone else did this, it would only lead to anger, but the person who did this kind of thing was the legendary mage Merlin, and he had just easily collapsed a coup and supported the new king.
So they are now in a state of embarrassment and confusion, but they dare not show anger.
Before the guards arrived, many people had already gone up and tried, but they couldn't pull out the sword in the stone at all.
King Uther also sent the most powerful warrior in the palace to try, but the result was still motionless.
With anxiety, King Uther ordered the guards to protect the big stone, so that no one would run up and pull out the sword in the stone. His throne was not warm yet.
On the other side, Ark and Aya have left Edland.
When Aya saw Ark drop the sword in the stone, she realized where it came from.
She had also seen the Sword in the Stone on the square before she was alive. Mage Merlin gave her two choices at that time. She finally chose to join the army, but did not draw the sword, and never touched the Sword in the Stone in her life.
If she had chosen another path, what would have happened?
Aya couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
King Uther has been successfully crowned, and there is no need to stay in this era.
But before leaving, I still need to deal with Morgan.
Fang Zhou was not even interested in interrogating, and directly extracted the memory of the other party.
Morgan has learned the mental protection technique, but he is as helpless as a baby in front of the Ark of the Soul Realm, and his memory is easily read.
The reason why Morgan betrayed his friend for many years and even launched a coup is simple.
He wanted to conduct research on the abyss, but was opposed by the old king and King Uther.
From Morgan’s memory, he mentioned this matter to the old king many times, but was severely rejected. King Uther also made it clear that he would not support Morgan’s research on the abyss after becoming king.
Abyss research requires huge financial support, and Morgan alone cannot succeed. Two generations of kings have refused, and Morgan has long given birth to the idea of changing to a king who obeys him.
Of course, the reason why Morgan is so frantic is that Morgan has been secretly researching the abyss for a long time.
He has even been connected to the abyss, and his behavior and appearance seem normal, but he has already been polluted and corrupted by the abyss.
Other court mages were also dragged into the water by Morgan, and they also created an abyss sect in private, with the purpose of suppressing the light of the fire of hope and letting the abyss come to this world.
Both Ark and Aya feel a little heavy. The world of Black Soul was finally invaded and destroyed by the abyss, and there are already signs.
The two executed Morgan and a group of corrupt court mages, and then cleared and destroyed the place where they summoned the abyss.
This is only a temporary solution, not the root cause. As the flame of hope fades, the abyss will invade more and more frequently.
Moreover, some of the descendants of the Fire Stealers were unwilling to take responsibility, and under the curse of the ancient dragon, they degenerated into the king of black souls. They have even fought many times in the War of Protecting the Fire for thousands of years, which also accelerated the exhaustion of the Flame of Hope.
Ark has guessed the origin of the abyss, which may be related to the great changes in the world. A big hole was broken in the sky, forming a sky mark. The abyss came from outside the sky and invaded from the sky mark.
The world of black souls was affected and destroyed, and the world of cultivating immortals will also end in this way in the future.
With a heavy heart, Fang Zhou and Aya cast the earth escape technique and left.
When the two broke away from the escapism, it was already fifteen years later.
King Uther has served as the king for fifteen years. During his reign, he worked hard to improve the country's national strength.
When Ark and Aya returned to the capital, they saw King Uther sitting on the throne.
He was thirty years old when he succeeded to the throne, and now he is forty-five years old, just entering old age, with a gray beard on his face, but his momentum and majesty as a king have not diminished in the slightest.
Ark and Aya came here this time mainly to witness a palace change—the birth of Aya.
King Uther had a daughter named Morgan before he came to the throne, but after he came to the throne, his mistress raised a lot, but he didn't have another child for fifteen years.
It wasn't until a mistress named Ali Shaman became pregnant that he was ecstatic, because according to the examination and speculation of the imperial physician, Ali Shaman should be pregnant with a boy.
An illegitimate child has no right to inherit, but the king's mistress is public, and in a sense also has the right to inherit, it depends on the king's preference.
But this matter caused the queen's jealousy and panic. She had already cultivated Morgan as the queen, but King Uther didn't like this daughter who was so domineering and doting by the queen.
If Ali Sharman really gave birth to a boy, then Morgan's inheritance rights are very likely to be taken away.
The queen's panic eventually led to a palace change, and she secretly sent a killer to assassinate Ali Sharman.
The assassination failed, but the child born to Ali Shaman disappeared in the chaos.
The missing child is Aya. The imperial doctor's examination made an error, and Ali Shaman gave birth to a daughter.
But things are irreparable, the child has disappeared without a trace, and his life and death are unknown.
This is a tragedy, but neither Fang Zhou nor Aya can intervene, and we must ensure that history proceeds according to the original context.
After the two entered the palace, they were monitored day and night until the night when Ali Shaman gave birth.
A scream suddenly sounded in the palace.
In the dark night, a large number of assassins began to attack Ali Shaman's residence under the cover of darkness.
The guards sent by the king resisted desperately. The battle was **** and tragic, and soon became a mess.
Fang Zhou and Aya have been keeping secret to ensure the safety of the baby.
After a long time, someone finally broke through the defense and rushed in, immediately raised a dagger and stabbed at the infant baby.
