Men are inferior to women

Chapter 667 665. Birth of a New King
The three of them turned right at the intersection and followed the flow of people to the square in front of the palace.

On the square, the big stone dropped by the Ark 32 years ago is still standing there.

The broken steel Excalibur was inserted into the stone, shining brightly in the sunlight.

Over the past 32 years, countless people have tried to pull out the sword in the stone, but they have all failed. No one can move the sword in the stone and the big stone.

At the beginning, King Uther sent people to guard the sword in the stone, fearing that someone would pull it out, but after so many years, he saw that no one pulled it out, so he relaxed the guards and let people watch, making this place already a scenic spot. Anyone who enters the capital must come here to see it.

When the three of them came here, there were already many people around the boulder, and only a few guards stood aside to maintain order, and did not prohibit others from contacting.

From time to time, onlookers go up and touch it, wanting to gain a wave of luck, or try to pull out the sword in the stone. This kind of thing has happened almost every day for 32 years.

However, under the blockade of the royal family, few people know that the stone was put down by the legendary mage Merlin. They only know that one can become a king by pulling out the sword in the stone, and the latter news cannot be blocked.

"Go!"

Fang Zhou patted Arturia on the shoulder lightly, telling her to try it.

Arturia separated from the crowd and walked over eagerly.

Challengers are very common, but it is rare to see such a young and beautiful one, and it attracts a lot of attention at once.

"Little sister, draw out your sword, and we embrace you as king."

Someone in the crowd yelled, causing a round of good-natured laughter.

Arturia waved her hand at the person who called out, then jumped onto the big rock lightly, and grabbed the hilt of the Broken Steel Excalibur with one hand.

Many people are staring closely, wanting to see the picture of the beautiful girl gnashing her teeth and sweating profusely but unable to pull it out.

Artoria took a deep breath and pulled it up forcefully.

"Zheng!"

Accompanied by the clear sound of the sword, the sword in the stone, which had been motionless for 32 years, was easily pulled out by Artoria and pointed to the sky.

At this moment, the onlookers lost their voices collectively, including the guards, who all stared at this scene dumbfounded.

Fang Zhou smiled slightly in the crowd. He specially left this sword for Arturia, and no one except her could pull it out.

This is a well-established shady scene, but no one will jump out and expose it.

With a slight movement in his mind, the wind and cloud in the sky changed, and a ray of sunlight broke through the clouds and cast down, shining on the Broken Steel Excalibur, reflecting a bright golden light.

Arturia holding the sword shone like a god under the bath of light.

Under the guidance of Ark's divine sense, the onlookers were all shocked by this scene.

The crowd did not know who shouted "King".

More and more people shouted together, and they didn't know why they shouted like that, but they couldn't stop the fanatical atmosphere from spreading.

Arturia was a little nervous, and subconsciously looked at Fang Zhou.

Fang Zhou showed her a reassuring expression.

The guards also recovered from the shock, and rushed to the palace to report.

Soon, the crowd was dispersed, and Arturia and Ark, who were holding the Broken Steel Excalibur, were invited into the palace.

Aya didn't follow, she was too eye-catching standing with Artoria, it was related at first glance, and she couldn't explain her identity.

In the palace, the officials have been summoned by King Uther.

Over the past 30 years, most officials have changed their faces, only a small number of them are old and strong, and have personally experienced the days of the coup more than 30 years ago.

Naturally, he also knew who left the sword in the stone and what it meant to pull it out.

Not to mention the officials, even King Uther himself would not agree that a random person could become the new king by pulling out the sword in the stone.

After so many years, the awe of Master Merlin has long since disappeared with time.

Originally, no one could pull out the sword in the stone, so this matter was regarded as a strange talk, but now that it has been pulled out, that person still needs to meet him, and he will think about it after seeing him.

King Uther had already considered a solution. If the other party didn't know how to play, and wanted to call the king as soon as he came up, he would drag it down and chop it off.

If the other party is interested, reward a sum of money and let the other party present the sword in the stone, and this matter will be treated as never happened.

After waiting for a while, King Uther finally saw two people appear in the palace.

The moment he saw Artoria, King Uther was shocked, and his eyes widened in surprise.

It's so similar, this beautiful girl looks so much like his mistress Ali Shaman.

This reminded King Uther of his missing child 17 years ago.

The ark beside Arturia was ignored instead, because Artoria held the Sword in the Stone in his hand.

King Uther stood up a little excitedly, and asked Arturia: "My child, what's your name?"

Arturia replied: "My name is Artoria Pendragon, and I drew the Sword in the Stone."

No one paid attention to the second half of the sentence, all focused on her surname.

Pendragon was changed on the day King Uther ascended the throne. There is no such surname in the whole country, and there is no possibility of the same surname.

King Uther was surprised and delighted: "Who gave you the name?"

Arturia could only turn her head to look at the ark.

King Uther's eyes also fell on Fang Zhou: "Your Excellency?"

Regardless of his attire, his appearance and bearing, Ark directly crushed everyone present, including the majestic and profound king. No one could treat him as an ordinary person.

Facing King Uther's searching eyes, Fang Zhou smiled slightly: "We meet again, Uther, I once said that when someone can pull out the sword in the stone, she will be your successor, and it will be the day we meet again .”

King Uther looked at the ark in amazement, and suddenly his whole body was shocked, and he blurted out in shock: "Are you...Master Merlin?"

His eyes were full of disbelief. How could Master Merlin, an old man with a gray beard, turn into an extraordinary young man?
Fang Zhou laughed, and the mirage dragon robe on his body turned into a mage's robe, and a gray beard grew on his face, which suddenly turned into Merlin's classic skin.

There was a burst of exclamation in the palace. They had all heard that it was with the help of Master Merlin more than 30 years ago that King Uther could successfully inherit the throne.

The ark only lasted for a while before regaining its appearance, and King Uther said in surprise: "Master Merlin, it really is you. For so many years, I have kept the position of chief court mage in the air for you..."

Fang Zhou raised his hand to interrupt him, and patted Arturia on the shoulder: "This is your daughter who disappeared back then. I found it for you. She pulled out the sword in the stone I left behind and should be yours." Heir."

King Uther said awkwardly: "This..."

His eyes fell on Arturia, there was joy of reunion of father and daughter, but also deep worry.
