"Blockade! Blockade the entire Britannia Cathedral! Send more people and ask for support from the army!"
In the Secret Service Hall, Director Hagus, who received the news, roared angrily at Mark, who had just returned from church.
This Mark is the unlucky inspector who was almost killed by that nightmare before.
The one who will pull out the sword from the stone will be Augustus of Britannia.
This undoubtedly ignores the existence of the royal family and touches on Britannia's most core interests.
"Yes." Mark nodded.
But after a pause, Mark said tentatively, "But, Director, there are too many witnesses. It won't take long for countless people across the country, and even all the nobles, to try to go to the church to pull out the knife." Sword in the Stone.
If there is a forced blockade, will it possibly lead to public riots? Do you think our officials are simply unwilling to find out the destiny? "
Mark's words made Hagus gradually calm down.
Britannia is now in a state of turmoil, and there must be no more chaos.
He covered his forehead with a headache and said, "What should we do? Let it go?"
"Of course we have to control it," Mark said, "but we can't block everything, limit the number of people who come to draw swords, manage order, and prevent chaos and casualties caused by the large number of people.
People's enthusiasm for drawing swords will not last long, and it will not be too late to block the news after the news cools down. "
"But what if someone really pulls it out? Do you really want him to become the emperor of this country?" Hagus said.
"I don't think destiny will appear that easily."
Mark said, “If that sword is really the sword in the stone, even the British island, which had a population of about one million at that time, had to wait for several years to have a King Arthur.
There are tens of millions of people in Britannia, they can’t just show up in the past few days, right? "
Hagus nodded, "That makes sense."
"Moreover, there are too many people coming to draw the sword, and we can't watch it. But there is only one person who draws the sword, and we can definitely watch it."
Mark analyzed calmly, "We will send people to take turns watching the Sword in the Stone. Once someone successfully pulls out the holy sword, we will invite him to the secret inspection hall.
And according to legend, King Arthur was the son of King Uther.
What if this destiny is the royal family? "
"What if it's not?" Hagus said.
"If not, we will keep him."
Mark looked around and lowered his voice.
"Director, if the future is really as predicted by that existence.
He may be the only hope for this country. "
Hagus frowned, but finally fell silent.
"Besides, I have an unfounded guess." Mark said.
Hagus looked up at him.
"Do you remember the name of the tavern where the Queen disappeared?"
"Merlin Tavern."
As if realizing something, Hagus opened his eyes slightly.
"you mean"
In Britannia, there are many stores with various legends and allusions as their names, without any specificity.
There are even hundreds of thousands of people named Arthur in Britannia, if not millions.
However, the key point is that the Queen disappeared in this store, and this store also disappeared mysteriously. When I think of this name, it will inevitably make people think of it.
"That might really be the tavern opened by the ancient sage."
Mark whispered softly, "This ancient sage taught King Arthur, and now, this new son of destiny will also be taught by him.
In this case, there may be an answer to the disappearance of Queen Isabel. "
"She may be pregnant." Mark said seriously. "The child she gives birth to will be adopted and taught by Merlin, and will eventually become the destiny of this country."
Hagus was lost in thought.
"Of course, I deduced all this based on the legend of King Arthur." Mark said, "That sword may not be the legendary Sword in the Stone."
"But it would be great if this was really the case." Hagus sighed.
“In that case, the destined son is of the royal family, and is also taught by the sage himself.
Divine power and imperial power are both orthodox and can definitely bring Britannia to another peak.
But, Mark.
Not many things in this world will go your way. "
Mark also fell silent.
"Do you have any other clues about that tavern?" Hagus asked.
“We have found many guests who have been to the pub these days, and we have drawn a preliminary portrait of all the employees in the pub, including the bartenders and cleaning women.
We discovered some interesting details. " Mark said.
Hagus raised his head and looked at Mark, "What details?"
"On the hand of the tavern owner, there are two unnoticeable moles under the tiger's mouth, about two centimeters apart. The mysterious man who saved us in the Marquis of Oss incident also had such moles on his hand."
Mark said with certainty that as a secret policeman, this kind of observation is the most basic.
"In other words, the mysterious man who appeared in the basement is most likely the same person as the tavern owner." Hagus whispered in a low voice.
"He saved us and destroyed the evil spirit, maybe..." Mark hesitated for a moment and said, "He didn't mean any harm."
Hagus did not reply, but fell into deep thought. After a moment, he said.
"Then let's investigate these two cases together first, and let's give him a code name first, and call him.
Merlin. "
"Yes." Mark lowered his head and said.
Char didn't care what kind of turmoil this incident caused among the ruling class of Britannia.
For him, the purpose of inserting the sword in the stone was not to gain the approval of these people. What he wanted was the approval of the church and public opinion.
As for the rest, Arthur will get it himself.
After all, Xia Ya is just a teacher, and that's all he can do.
Young people ultimately have to rely on their own strength to make a name for themselves.
He had returned to the castle and added some firewood to Calcifer. He took the pan hanging from the wall on one side and placed it on Calcifer.
Then he poured the oil on it. After the oil was heated through, Xia Ya put in the cauliflower that had been torn and washed on one side. As the cauliflower came into contact with the oil, the pot made a sizzling sound and oil splashed everywhere. .
Alicia, who was holding Isabel, pushed the door in afterward.
It seemed that she was slightly out of breath because of holding Isabel in her arms and running along the way.
"came back."
Xia Ya said without looking back, "You haven't been back for a long time, so I will cook by myself."
"Char." Alicia looked at Char, "Did you go out just now?"
"No, I've been at home." Xia Ya said with some confusion, "Did something happen outside?"
Alicia looked at Calcifer.
"He is indeed at home all the time." Calcifer said seriously.
Alicia's brows relaxed. Calcifer would not lie to her. Even if he did, the flaws would be huge.
But she obviously didn't expect that with Xia Ya's current illusion skills, avatars would not be a problem for him at all.
"An angel has come."
Isabel jumped out of Alicia's arms and landed gracefully on the ground.
"He inserted a sword on the high platform of the church during the appointment ceremony of Victor, and said that the son of destiny who pulled out the sword would become the emperor of Britannia."
"Yeah."
Xia Ya responded casually, then lifted the apple with one hand and poured the stir-fried cauliflower into the plate placed on one side.
Then he turned around and placed it on the dining table.
There was already a pot of prepared stew on the table, but it was covered with an iron lid, so I didn't know what it was.
"Okay, you can eat." Xia Ya said, "Call Arthur back."
"And that angel looks a lot like Alicia." Isabel said.
She stared at Char, "You don't seem surprised."
"Angels don't have faces in the true sense." Xia Ya said, "But when they come to the world, they will appear in an image acceptable to humans.
Perhaps it was because Alicia was so good-looking that they chose her as their template. "
Isabel nodded, and then she continued, "The person who pulled out that sword is the one you said, the monarch who will save Britannia in the future, right?
You knew this was going to happen. "
Xia Ya smiled and opened the lid of the iron pot for stew.
The fresh and rich flavor of the beef and the soft, glutinous and sweet taste of the potatoes came out together.
It was a pot of stewed beef and potatoes. Char put it in to stew before inserting the sword in the stone. After simmering for more than forty minutes, the soup was perfectly absorbed into the beef and potatoes.
Isabel's and Alicia's stomachs growled at the same time.
"Let's eat first." Xia Ya said funny.
Potatoes can be used as staple food, so Xiaya did not make them.
Isabel is now a cat and doesn’t have a big appetite, and Alicia’s appetite is actually not big either.
It's just that Arthur's appetite has been increasing recently, so Char prepared a separate pot for him.
As for Sonny, just feed raw meat directly. Lions will not eat vegetables, so their vitamin sources basically come from meat, and the vitamins in the meat will be inactivated when cooked.
Alicia stepped forward, filled a bowl of potato and beef stew for Isabel, and picked some cauliflower for her to put on it.
Then he filled a bowl for himself.
The stewed beef is very soft and delicious. You can easily tear it off when you bite it. The potatoes bring out the fragrance of the beef and are very soft and glutinous.
"You know that angel, right?" Isabel said while enjoying the food and raising her head.
Xia Ya nodded, "That's right."
Although she was prepared, Isabel was still a little surprised when she actually heard his answer.
"Why do you seem to know everyone?"
Isabel looked at Alicia, "Do you know about this?"
"I don't know, but I'm not surprised." Alicia said, "Do you know Mr. Semele who had barbecue with us before?"
Isabel nodded, "I know, Char's friend, the bartender in your tavern, seems to be a wizard, right?"
"He has another name," Alicia said, "Dionysus."
Isabel didn't react for a moment, but when she realized the meaning behind the name, she opened her eyes slightly.
