Liam's death means that William's original prohibition against participating in the tournament has disappeared. The arrival of King Arthur further illustrates that point, that is, he is the destined dragon-slaying hero.
King Arthur knelt on one knee on a woolen blanket. The small room was transformed into an altar. At this time, he was praying. William stood behind him, with many questions in his heart that he wanted to ask, but Never spoke.
King Arthur's handsome face had a soft expression, and he did not look like a majestic monarch at all. The sun bathed the young man's body, like an angel. He was praying at this time, and suddenly he opened his eyes and was as clear and agile as autumn water. Looking at William with his eyes, he asked.
"William, do you know what the five forms of prayer are?"
"It is praise, thanksgiving, intercession, petition and confession, Your Majesty."
William calmly replied, in any case, he is the godson of the vice-president of the monastery in Andage Village, and he still knows the five forms of prayer very clearly. It is a common sense for Christians, but It's not easy to tell the difference.
“Praise God!”
"Always praise!"
King Arthur and William asked and answered questions, but neither King Arthur nor William seemed to care too much about the question itself.
Then there was a long silence. King Arthur continued to pray, and William stopped talking. Finally, William, who couldn't stand the oppressive atmosphere, couldn't help but said, "Your Majesty, Liam is dead."
"Thunder and rain are all your grace." King Arthur quoted the classics without any emotion in his tone.
"Water can carry a boat and also capsize it, but wouldn't it be pitiful for the people in the boat to be swallowed by the water." William said sadly in his heart.
King Arthur stood up and stood next to William. There was no smile on his face. He looked like a marble statue from the Greek era. "Water is also very pitiful. It swallowed the lives of others and became an innocent murderer. The accusation against water Pointless."
"His Majesty."
"The reward comes from Jehovah, and it is Jehovah's authority to collect it. Liam's fate has been determined a long time ago. Regardless of gain or loss, it is God's arrangement."
“It’s really hard to love such a God.”
"You have always been in love with God. You just haven't realized it yet."
King Arthur looked at Liam's body on the bed, and then looked at William, "The next step is the decisive battle between you and Francis. One of you will become the dragon-slaying hero, maybe you, maybe... he."
"Who is the dragon?" William asked.
"William Alexander, the Duke of Normandy, is the former dragon-slaying warrior and the most powerful dragon-slaying warrior so far. St. Edward, the patron saint of England, is his cousin. He has the right to inherit the throne of England, but However, the meeting of wise men did not choose him to become the king of England, but established a new king. William was not convinced and was now preparing to lead an army to conquer England. After conquering England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland would be followed by Norway and Denmark. , became the King of Northern Europe, and he now intends to win the princess of the Earl of Hanover in the Holy Roman Empire, so his purpose is obvious. After becoming the King of England, he will unify Britain and Ireland, and then the entire Northern Europe. The next step is to run for the Roman Emperor."
"Sounds like a really big shot, but isn't the king chosen by God's will? The evil dragon can now not only be the king, but also the emperor."
"Both good kings and bad kings are God's choices, but good kings are gifts from God to the world, while bad kings are punishments from God to the world. That's why tyrants like Attila the Hun emerge in endlessly."
"Then why me! Why should I be given the blood of the red dragon, and why would the Holy Sword choose me?"
"You, in fact, were insignificant to begin with. You were not the destined hero at all, but your behavior was perfect."
"Perfect?"
"Yes, after Francis led the dragon-slaying mercenary group to slay the dragon and failed, everyone died and you were the only one who survived. However, the mission of destroying the evil dragon is still there. Destiny will favor the surviving heroes. You are very lucky. Fortunately, you survived, and you have to inherit the last wishes of your friends, so you have been favored by the fate of your friends, and of course the most important thing is the vow you made!"
"Which oath?"
"You want to seize the world and take the oath to become the emperor." King Arthur said with great interest, "The Holy Sword Dawn you hold was not the Holy Sword at first, but became the Holy Sword after being canonized. What the Holy Sword symbolizes is not religious power, but imperial power. Therefore, the dawn of the Holy Sword begins to rejoice and begins to favor you. Because of the power of the Holy Sword, fate also favors you. The favor of the Holy Sword makes you divided. The brave Francis is favored by fate as a dragon-slaying hero.”
The expression on King Arthur's face was strange at this time, "It was Francis who was supposed to be resurrected within three days. It was Francis who was supposed to get the blood of my red dragon. It was also Francis who was supposed to get the holy armor. Si, the person who should have been favored by Lily should also be Francis."
"Are you saying that I was just an own mistake?" William asked with a dark face. Why did he feel like he was in those online novels that robbed the protagonist of the novel's role, and also robbed the protagonist's girl, equipment, opportunities, and financial reports of time travel? By.
"Not necessarily, this is a coincidence, but this is also a coincidence that can only be brought about by God's will. As for whether you are a true dragon-slaying warrior, it depends on the next battle between you and Francis."
King Arthur said slowly, "After all, real gold is not afraid of fire."
"You think I'm real gold!" William asked.
"Did I say so?" King Arthur asked.
"If not, then why did you come?" William asked.
"I want a promise from you. Saint Brigitte told me a message. During the feast of the Celtic gods, Orngus, the god of love, originally wanted to give Liam the fruit of the Immortal Tree. , was originally supposed to be given to Liam by the goddess Eriu, but she intercepted it midway. In the end, due to the disparity in strength, the gods gave up on Liam. Then Liam's death was also given to Francis. Death laid the trigger, just as Finn ignored Diarmuid's death, and he also encountered the bad luck of death. This is the backlash of those favored by fate and the dissatisfaction of the Celtic gods."
In Greek mythology, except for gods, those who kill the Son of God will have a bad end. Hercules, the only one who escaped the disaster and became a god, offended the God by killing the Son of God, and must be cursed by the God.
Although Liam is not the Son of God, as a descendant of the ancestor Danu, killing Liam means that the descendants of the Danaan Clan are completely extinct. This hatred is no less than killing the Son of God.
Of course, Francis is not an ordinary person, and he also has gods as his backer, but after all, this place is the territory of the goddess Danu, and revenge is inevitable.
Of course, if Francis wins, becomes the king of Britain and Ireland, and kills the dragon, then the goddess Danu can only stare blankly.
Just like Hercules, the son of Apollo, who beat his teacher to death for disobeying discipline when he was a boy in school. He accomplished twelve feats and offended a large number of people, but in the end nothing happened.
"I'm afraid the goddess Eliu will give you the fruit of immortality through Lily, but you must refuse her."
"This is the promise you asked me to keep."
"No, this is just advice. I want you to defend Britain and defeat William Alexander. Not only on the level of slaying the dragon, but also on the secular level. If he wants to conquer Britain and Ireland, you must first become the leader of Britain and Ireland. The King of Ireland, if he wants to be the King of Northern Europe, then you will become the King of Western Europe or the King of Eastern Europe. He wants to be the emperor, and you also want to be the emperor. It will be with you without him, with him without you."
"But he is a Duke. It is said that he has reached the fourth level. I am just a first-level knight."
"No, you are not just a knight, kneel down to me!"
King Arthur suddenly pulled out his sword and put it on William's shoulder and said, "Perform the surrender ceremony. I will canonize you as the Earl of Avalon, and you will be promoted to the second level. When you take revenge for Liam, you You will gain the allegiance of the elves, and I will allow your earldom to become the Earl of Avalon, and you will be promoted to the third level of Francis, just a stone's throw away from the fourth level of the evil dragon."
“God gives, God takes away!”
