Following King Uther's words, the crown, which was smaller than the king's crown, also fell on Arthur's head. At this time, everyone began to applaud heartily, which meant that they had a goal of loyalty and their contract with the royal family could continue.
King Uther looked at Arthur who was already much taller than him when he stood up. A happy smile finally appeared on his face, feeling proud that our son had just grown up.
After Arthur stood up, he began to signal around. Everyone who saw Arthur would bow first to express submission and respect, even Kai. Merlin and Gwen, who were standing behind everyone, also deliberately joked about Arthur's change of identity.
Arthur may be a little proud. After seeing Kai bowing to him, he actually turned back to look at Kai again. Kai knew what he wanted to do as soon as he saw this kid, but in such a solemn occasion, Kai would naturally not be confused about the importance, so he could only bow again.
Arthur suddenly felt that the originally boring canonization ceremony was not as boring as he imagined. At least it could make Kai, whom he had always been in awe of, bow to him.
Just when Arthur wanted to play again, Kai's expression suddenly changed and he rushed out.
Arthur was so scared that he almost peed. He didn't mean anything else, he just wanted to make a joke. He didn't expect Kai to rush towards him.
Kai's actions immediately attracted the attention of a large number of people, which are die-hard supporters of the royal family. What they fear most is that the inheritance of the royal family will be lost to the outside world. This is intolerable to them. Therefore, Kai is undoubtedly a huge threat in their view.
Now that Kai suddenly rushed out, they thought that Kai finally couldn't suppress his inner ambition and planned to disrupt the prince's canonization.
But Kai's speed was so fast that they had no time to react. However, they soon discovered that Kai did not want to disrupt Arthur's canonization ceremony.
I saw Kai rushing to Arthur's side, grabbing Arthur and pushing him behind him. Then he stood in front of Arthur, unsheathed his swords and made a defensive posture.
"Crack! Boom!"
The moment Kai completed his defensive posture, the huge stained glass window on the side of the hall was smashed. A knight wearing black armor and riding a huge black horse broke through the glass window and entered the hall.
The sense of oppression on this black knight was so strong that the candles in the hall that were originally as bright as day began to flicker.
Only then did the other knights react and drew out their swords to block King Uther and Arthur.
The black knight made no other movements, just rode his horse and slowly approached Arthur and King Uther. He held a lance in his hand, with a heraldic flag on it. The flag was black with a white phoenix spreading its wings. And there is the same coat of arms on his shield.
The heavy tapping sound of horse hooves resounded throughout the hall, and everyone was a little confused. They didn't understand why someone would be so bold as to disrupt the prince's canonization.
When he was only five steps away from King Uther and Arthur, he stopped. His helmet is very thick, with scars all over it. Apparently, this helmet has followed its owner through countless battles. Perhaps because of the thickness of the helmet, people can't see clearly the knight's eyes. Only a patch of eyes can be seen through the helmet's window. Silent darkness.
The knight moved his helmet and seemed to be looking at everyone. Finally, he fixed his gaze on King Uther's face. Then he took off his iron gloves and threw them on the ground!
Knight challenge!
Kai squinted his eyes and looked at the knight in front of him, suddenly feeling an endless malice! What's even worse is that Kai can't feel the breath of a living person from his body!
Just when Kai was thinking about what to do, Arthur suddenly broke away from Kai's protection and planned to bend down and pick up the iron glove!
"No!" Kai shouted immediately.
But before Kai could catch Arthur, a young knight standing on the other side stepped out and picked up the iron glove in advance.
"Me! Knight Owen, accept your challenge!"
"Farek!" Kai cursed a little angrily.
Of course he knows this kid. He is one of the five most promising knights in the Knights. He is very talented and very young, even younger than Arthur. Although his strength is not top-notch yet, Kai believes This kid can definitely become an excellent knight given time.
But like all young people, he is still too self-righteous!
When the Black Knight saw someone picking up his iron glove, he did not react in any other way, but said: "One on one, tomorrow at noon, until death!"
After saying this, the black knight was ready to turn around and leave.
"Wait!" Kai suddenly stopped the Black Knight.
The Black Knight turned his head to look at Kai.
"The duel is cancelled!" Kai stood up with two swords in hand. "I'll take his place."
"What?!" This sentence not only caused an uproar among others, but even Owen was in disbelief.
The Black Knight glanced at Kai and ignored him, but emphasized to Owen again, "See you there at noon tomorrow!"
After saying that, he ignored Kai and rode into the night.
…
No one expected that Arthur's canonization ceremony would turn into a mess.
"You shouldn't have picked up the gloves, Owen..." Kai sat on the chair with his hands on the armrests, looking very helpless. This child is too stubborn!
"Then cancel the duel!" Morgana said hurriedly.
"No! This is the honor of the knight. There is no way I can cancel the duel." Owen still had this attitude. He was unwilling to cancel the duel.
"Okay! The challenge has been accepted, and the duel is unavoidable! This is the provision of the Knight Code!" King Uther's face didn't look good either, but he didn't know whether it was because the canonization ceremony was disrupted or because of something else.
"But..." Morgana wanted to say something else, but King Uther was no longer interested in listening. He waved Owen away. "You should have a good rest and stay in good condition."
"Yes!" Owen was actually a little scared before. After all, the sense of oppression given by the Black Knight was too strong. But after this period of psychological construction, he has strengthened his determination. Escape is more terrifying than death.
Morgana looked at young Owen, and she couldn't bear the unbearable feeling in her heart. She looked at Kai.
Of course Kai knew what Morgana meant, and he shook his head. "I've already tried my best, but Owen is unwilling to let me replace him. If he had agreed before, I could have used some reasons to replace him, but now... it's too late."
Arthur couldn't help it at this time. He was ready to accept the challenge before, but now... in short, he could only think about things in a good direction.
"Owen's strength is already very strong, maybe he..."
"Impossible!" Kai interrupted him immediately. "do you know who he is?"
"who is he?"
"Tristan! The former first knight of the Celtic nations, and my former teacher..."
"Impossible!" Unexpectedly, King Uther stood up and interrupted Kai. "He has been dead for a long time! He can't be alive!" King Uther thought very anxiously, even a little bit fearful.
"Yes... he is indeed not alive." Kai leaned his head on the back of the seat and said in a low voice. "I couldn't feel a trace of warmth on his body, no heartbeat, no breathing, and there was only the rancid smell of death... It seemed that someone had awakened my teacher from the grave."
"This is impossible!" King Uther still refused to believe it.
"It is very possible...those wizards can do it, my lord. I am extremely familiar with Tristan. His armor, shield, crown and banner are all exactly the same as when he was buried, as well as his oppression. I won't admit my mistake." There was no need to deny this matter. Kai had already noticed something strange about him, but he didn't expect that Owen would be so anxious and pick up the iron glove. "I think we must lose a good knight to-morrow, for no man can kill a dead man."
In fact, King Uther had already figured out that it was Tristan, who was his brother-in-law, Arthur's uncle, and the younger brother of the first queen! And Tristan was killed by King Uther in a duel. King Uther just refused to believe it.
