Men are inferior to women

Chapter 662 661. The Sword in the Stone

Morgan felt Aya's killing intent and couldn't help shivering.

Aya was not in a hurry to deal with the culprit, there was 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.

And the whole square erupted in an instant, and countless people rushed up to try to pull out the sword in the stone, even causing riots.

The movement here naturally attracted the attention of the palace, and the guards rushed out to disperse the crowd. King Uther, who had already announced his name change, hurried out with his officials.

Seeing a beautiful 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?
It's not such a joke for children to play house, 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 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 went 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 it out, but he still remained motionless.

With apprehension, King Uther ordered his guards to protect the boulder, lest anyone run up and draw the sword in the stone, and his throne was not warm yet.

On the other side, Fang Zhou and Aya had already left Edland.

When Aya saw Fang Zhou drop the Sword in the Stone, she realized where it came from.

She also saw the Sword in the Stone on the square before she was alive. Master Meilin 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, Morgan needs to be dealt with.

Fang Zhou was not even interested in interrogating, and directly extracted the memory of the other party.

Morgan had learned the mental protection technique, but he was as helpless as a baby in front of the Ark of the Soul Realm, and his memory was easily read.

The reason why Morgan betrayed his friend for many years and even staged a coup was 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.

Research on the abyss requires huge financial support, and it is impossible for Morgan alone to 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 the two princes were so frantic to poison the old king and launch a coup d'état after failing to pass on the will was that Morgan had been secretly researching the abyss long ago.

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.

The other court mages were also dragged into the water by Morgan, and they even created an abyss sect in private, with the purpose of suppressing the light of the flame of hope and allowing the abyss to come to this world.

Both Fang Zhou and Aya felt a little heavy. The Black Soul world was finally destroyed by the invasion of the abyss, and there are already signs of it.

The two killed Morgan and a group of corrupt court mages, and then wiped out the place where they summoned the abyss.

This is only a temporary solution, not the root cause. As the flame of hope fades, the invasion of the abyss will become more and more frequent.

Moreover, some of the descendants of the fire thief were unwilling to take responsibility, and under the curse of the ancient dragon, they fell into the king of black souls. For thousands of years, they even fought many fire protection wars, which also accelerated the exhaustion of the fire of hope.

Fang Zhou has guessed the origin of the abyss, which may be related to the great changes in the sky and the earth. 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 this will happen to the world of cultivating immortals in the future.

With a heavy heart, Fang Zhou and Aya used the earth escape technique to leave.

It was already 15 years later when the two broke away from the escape technique.

King Uther has served as the king for 15 years. During his reign, he worked hard to improve the national strength of Edran.

When Fang Zhou and Aya returned to the capital, they saw King Uther sitting on the throne.

He was 30 years old when he succeeded to the throne, and now he is 45 years old. He has just entered old age, with a gray beard on his face, but his momentum and majesty as a king have not diminished in the slightest.

Fang Zhou 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 15 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, which depends most on the king's preferences.

But this matter caused the queen's jealousy and panic. She had already trained 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 would most likely be taken away.

The queen's panic eventually led to a palace change, and she secretly sent a killer to assassinate Ali Shaman.

The assassination failed, but the child born to Ali Shaman disappeared in the chaos.

The missing child was Aya. The imperial physician's examination was wrong, and Ali Shaman gave birth to a daughter.

But the matter was irreversible, and the child disappeared without a trace, and his life and death are unknown.

This is a tragedy, but neither Fang Zhou nor Aya can intervene to 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 bloody and tragic, and it soon became a mess.

Fang Zhou and Aya have been keeping in the dark 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.
