Stray Chapter 56: Want to hear the king’s story?

Maybe it's luck, maybe it's a pattern

After all, a dream is always a dream, not a real world. Memory information can reproduce many details, but it is impossible to evolve into a real world.

Unlike the previous Doomsday, there is only one scene theme from beginning to end, and that is the zombie attack, so there is nothing to see. But in this dream, several flashes and changes quickly made everyone confirm the protagonist of the dream.

A little blond girl, an orphan without parents, named Arturia.

She was adopted by an old knight and has been raised as a "man" since she was born.

Outside, she has been shown as a teenager, dressed in men's clothes, with her hair tied back. From a young age, he began to learn swordsmanship and state affairs, and was even asked to give up his feelings as a human being.

This is because King Uther and the magician set out from the purpose of "the ideal king", and the result of their design is her.

Live for people, live with people, and give people a future.

That is the matter of being entrusted to the country, the matter of showing the king's certificate.

—It is also the matter of living in the responsibility of the king.

As bystanders, Yun Tianhe and others, who were watching the dream, easily grasped this information, so they were all a little surprised.

Although most of them are subconsciously weird about the fact that "women rule the country as kings", after their surprise, more emotion is sympathy.

I have been doomed to such a fate since birth...

Involuntarily, I was arranged to shoulder such a heavy responsibility...

This girl will live very hard in the future. There is no doubt about it. The melody of assassination, conspiracy, and war will always accompany her life until she is completely dead.

How can such a fate not make people feel heavy and sigh for it?

Time is changing rapidly, and the pictures are constantly changing. Although Yun Tianhe and others have no experience in watching movies and animations, they can intuitively understand what is going on. At the same time, there is a novelty feel.

Fifteen years later, the little girl has become a slender girl, although she is still disguised as a man...

Fifteen years of life seems to have no turbulence, some are just unchanging calm and hard work...

Probably because I have been practicing swordsmanship, studying state affairs, and receiving the teachings of magicians all these years, although it is not boring, and I completely forget it after I pass it, but it does not leave a deep impression, so in the dreamland not reflected in.

Only some deep memory fragments are presented as scenes, such as fighting as a knight, traveling around, being led by magicians to experience the whole country, and seeing the sight of people living in poverty...

These all left a strong impression on the girl's memory. The memories were presented in the form of dreams, and they were also seen by a group of outsiders. Everyone understood what kind of situation she was facing. situation, and what responsibilities do you have.

It's like watching a movie. After explaining the ins and outs and completing the foreshadowing, the next step is to start the main line. Everyone, even Murong Ziying, subconsciously gave birth to a sense of expectation.

He hates such a dark and troubled world where people are struggling, and he wants to personally take action to make things right, but he also knows that he can't do anything.

What this era needs is the ideal ruler and the new order that it brings, not just a few men with great force.

In addition, in this dream, it is not without extraordinary force. Those powerful titled knights seem to be human-shaped monsters. Some people who have obtained the inheritance of holy swords can single-handedly hunt down huge monsters. It made Murong Ziying look at him.

It can be said that these people are not much worse than monks in other aspects except that they can't fly.

Unfortunately, such characters can't do much either. They can protect the peace of one side, but they can't bring order to the whole country... Naturally, they, who exist and do not exist bystanders, can't do it.

By the way, Murong Ziying is also very interested in the legends of those holy swords, but unfortunately those holy swords were not presented in the dream.

Because it seems that this time there is no need for me and others to take action, so the group did not easily interfere with the operation of the dream, they are just watching this piece of memory that makes them feel novel, and trying to find it from it. Useful informational clues.

Yes, novelty.

Senior Sister Xiuyu and Monk Yuanshan both feel a little surrealistic style of painting. They always feel that the current situation is quite delicate, and even has the feeling that the school organized everyone to watch a movie together when they were young.

Soon, with the progress of the king's story, another special holy sword appeared.

Sword in the Stone.

The sword pierced on the rock is the holy sword that summons victory, and it is the proof of the king that is more certain than blood. Only those who possess strength and who can save Britain will be recognized by the Sword in the Stone.

"The one who draws this sword is the King of Britain!"

The knights who longed to revive Britain and wished to obtain the throne were all gathered in the town on this day. There are countless figures of knights in front of the Sword of Kings, and they challenge the Sword of Kings with ardent expectations.

As a matter of course, no one was able to pull it out, and the knights put their hands on the hilt of their swords with serious expressions, then walked away in dejection.

No one can draw a sword, and the feeling of loss not only spreads to the knights, but also to the people. Could it be that there is no future for Britain, is the prediction of the magician Merlin really correct?

People are reluctant to give up, and they simply take advantage of this opportunity when all the knights gather to try to use other methods to choose the king of knights who can save the country, so they leave the sword that cannot be pulled out, and the surrounding is peaceful .

Among the inexplicable expectations of a group of onlookers, only the girl named Artoria did not leave.

The noise of the knights was far away, and there was no one around the rock. The girl disguised as a slender boy quietly placed her hand on the hilt of her sword.

Is it really such a development? Everyone subconsciously felt this way, thinking that they had guessed the general development routine in the follow-up.

It's probably a story that happened in a distant foreign country. Maybe it's the growth history of a young king. It's **** and a bit cliché, similar to the story of trying hard for a living? Although the protagonist is a girl with a heavy fate, it should probably be like this...

Even the two lost ones are no exception. After all, they came from different world lines, and they also did not have the corresponding information.

However

Altolia didn't know what she was thinking. It seemed to be fear, but it also seemed to be longing. After a long time, she finally made up her mind and clenched the hilt of the sword forcefully, and at this moment.

"It's better to think about it before picking it up."

A voice came suddenly.

All the attentive viewers were slightly taken aback, and Arturia was no exception. She turned around and found the legendary magician Merlin standing behind her.

Although I have met countless times, the other party has been teaching him various truths in his dreams, but this is the first time we have met in reality.

Although Murong Ziying and the others don't quite understand the concept of a magician, they all understand that this is a very powerful wizard. According to the legends of this country, they may already have the power of a fairy.

"I won't hurt you, so don't do that."

The magician's attitude is the same as before, but the words he speaks are very abnormal

"Once you pick up that sword, you will cease to be human until the end. Not only that, but you will be hated by all and face a tragic death..."

Wait! This plot... doesn't seem right?

Murong Ziying and the others groaned in their hearts at the same time. They watched the whole thing from the beginning, and naturally knew that the magician's plan with the late king Uther looked perfect, and there was nothing wrong with it.

Even they just feel that there is no choice for a girl, which seems too heavy, but as long as she becomes a king and has the power to protect herself, she should still be able to die peacefully in the end.

But why, at this critical moment, this magician would suddenly say such words?

They all felt a vague sense of foreboding.

"No!!"

However, when Artoria said so, it seemed that the magician's admonition instead made her make up her mind. With her golden hair fluttering in the wind, she nodded vigorously without looking back.

If there is someone who is more suitable to be a king than himself, wouldn't he be able to lead the country better? But such a person has not appeared, at least not now, and during this period, someone must take up this obligation.

No matter how many times she will be alienated, feared, or even betrayed, her heart will not change.

The sword is drawn.

"Many people are laughing. I don't think it's wrong." The girl declared this seriously, her whole body seemed to be radiating divine brilliance.

That lofty oath was witnessed by a group of bystanders who did not exist at the time, so they fell silent at the same time. Perhaps because of that ominous premonition, they all suddenly hoped that this memory would end there.

It's good to be here, that's good, they don't need to know the ending.

No, the king's story continues.

As a result, the ideal king was born as the ambition of the previous king Uther, but no one agreed with the king of knights from the bottom of their hearts.

Without growing due to the power of the holy sword, the king's appearance has not changed since the age of fifteen when he drew his sword. Many people see it as a sacred symbol, and many feel terrified and disgusting.

It is said that the holy sword has the protection of the fairies in the lake, and the wielder is immortal. That's why no one went after a knight's body that seemed too petite, and even a face that people thought was only a girl was praised by the knights as a handsome king.

But at the end of the day - who among the people who are ruled thinks that the king is also a "human being" like himself?

There are only a group of breakers who do not belong to that era, watching her from an innocent girl to a machine that suppresses her emotions, obliterates herself, turns her heart into iron, and operates only with the function of a king the whole process.
