"Gawain, one of the three Knights of the Round Table?"

Misaki Shokuhou knew that in the Arthurian legend, he was the second-in-command of the Knights of the Round Table, possessing the strength to suppress Lancelot, the strongest of the Round Table, during the day.

He is recorded as a near-perfect knight, his only flaw being that after his siblings were killed by Lancelot, he lost his mind in anger and failed to fulfill his knightly duties.

However, in the eyes of later generations, this is even more perfect.

However, looking at Gao Wen with a smile on his face, completely oblivious to the atmosphere, Misaki Shokuhou couldn't help but remark, "This guy is really kind-hearted by nature!"

Standing beside the Stone Sword Platform, Meryl also noticed the stalemate. In order to make things go smoothly, she said to Gao Wen, "Gao Wenqing, why don't you give it a try?"

"No need, I'm just here to witness the birth of the king."

Gao Wen nudged his hand and responded cheerfully.

"...Perhaps Gao Wenqing is the chosen king?"

Mary raised an eyebrow, her expression strange, and looked at the idiot in front of her, forcing a smile as she spoke.

"Impossible, I can't become a king."

Gao Wen was very self-aware; he was simply incapable of handling government affairs, and he would be miserable if he had to sit at a desk all day.

"..."

The atmosphere suddenly fell silent.

Meryl's eyes suddenly turned somewhat dangerous.

Because of Gawain's words, as long as Mary calls on someone else, the election can continue.

However, Gawain is a very important stepping stone, a key figure who adds a legendary touch to "The Sword in the Stone".

If Gawain hadn't failed here, others might have doubted whether the Sword in the Stone could be pulled out by brute force, thus diminishing its legendary status.

If Gawain, one of Britain's living legends, were to fall here, then everyone else would have to believe that this thing was truly a matter of destiny.

Therefore, whether Gao Wen tries it or not makes a big difference.

Melie must bring Gawain up to the throne, to serve as a stepping stone for Artoria to ascend to the throne.

"Sir Gawain! The selection of a king is to find a ruler who can fight against Vortigern and save all of Britain. Although this is not your intention, what if you are the chosen king? Britain is already on the verge of collapse and cannot afford any more mistakes. Please come up and give it a try."

Wow! This is moral blackmail!

Misao Shokuhou commented.

What Merry meant was something like, even if you don't want to be king, you have to try for the sake of this country. If you succeed, you have to be king.

This tactic is absolutely disgusting.

However, for knights of this era, it was an absolute weapon of mass destruction.

Upon hearing Meryl's words, Gawain couldn't help but show a serious expression. He pondered for a moment, seemingly deep in thought, before looking up and saying, "Yes, it was my oversight. Indeed, as you said, Sage, I cannot shirk this responsibility because of my own reasons."

Then he stepped forward.

"That's truly... a standard knight!"

Misaki Shokuhou has nothing more to say about this.

In the scene, Gawain steps forward and stands in front of the sword in the stone, looking down at the sword stuck in the stone.

"Only the king chosen by fate can draw his sword."

Recalling the legend of the Sword in the Stone, Gawain was very curious and examined the sword up close. It was ancient and worn, and showed no signs of being the Sword of Destiny.

It even made him a little scared, afraid that he would break the sword as soon as he picked it up.

He bent down, gripped the hilt with both hands, tested it briefly to make sure it wouldn't break easily, and then began to exert force.

"Hey!"

The force, enough to uproot a large tree, vanished without a trace, like a mud ox sinking into the sea.

"? That's interesting."

Gawain grinned, took a deep breath, gripped the sword hilt tightly with both hands, and suddenly exerted force.

This time, Gao Wen used far more force than he had just been joking around with; he truly unleashed his full potential.

A terrifying force, enough to shake mountains and cities, erupted from his body. His feet pounded the earth with the force, sinking deep into it, but the sword remained unmoved and could not be pulled up at all.

"Aha!!!"

Gawain's face turned red, and his muscles bulged as if inflated. Each angular muscle supported his armor, and the occasional exposed areas clearly showed a granite-like shape filled with hardness and power.

Even so, they still couldn't pull out the "sword in the stone".

He takes everything very seriously. Even though 083 doesn't want to become a king, he won't run away from it and will go all out.

"Ha ha……"

After trying for a long time without success, Gao Wen gave up, chuckled, and said, "Looks like it wasn't me!"

Then, panting heavily, he pulled his foot out of the rock.

The scene was completely silent, and all the onlookers stared at Gao Wen in shock.

Now, it has been proven that this thing cannot be pulled out by brute force.

Although I have never actually witnessed Gawain's power, I have heard of it. He once defeated thousands of Vortigern's troops single-handedly and shattered rocks with a single punch, demonstrating his immense strength.

To put it bluntly, 99% of the knights present were no match for him.

Even someone like him couldn't shake the "Sword in the Stone" that determined the selection of the king.

"Perhaps, this is something only the King of Destiny can pull out!"

Not only did people think this way.

At the same time, anticipation arose in my heart.

Strength is a fixed factor, an inevitable huge gap. If this sword is to be drawn by strength, then it is definitely those knights whose fame is widespread in Britain.

But it's not about strength right now, which means...

"Could I also draw this sword and become the King of Britain?"

Thinking of this, the knights' eyes burned with fervor.

Chapter 76 The Birth of a King

The idea was wonderful, but reality was harsh. Many knights, like lottery players, stepped forward to try their luck, but none of them could budge the sword in the stone.

Some knights were so obsessed with their beliefs that they made a fool of themselves and became a laughingstock.

Just as everyone's initial anticipation turned to dejection, Artoria finally received a signal from Mely.

She walked up to Kai, her sworn brother who had just failed.

"Who is this?"

"I think the Knight Kai's squire was named Artoria!"

"A mere attendant? Does even an attendant dare to covet the king's throne?"

"Hey! Kai, are you planning to send your entourage up too?"

Many knights laughed, and several even shouted at Kai.

"..."

Kai frowned, looked at the group, snorted coldly, and snapped, "Shut up!"

Artoria is his adopted sister. Although she has come temporarily as a knight's squire, she is not a servant. Naturally, he is dissatisfied with the sarcasm and ridicule of these people.

"Hmph~~"

However, Kai's reputation among the many knights was only average, and his rebukes did not frighten the other party. Instead, the other party became even more arrogant and clamorous.

Artoria watched all this, smiled slightly at Kai, and indicated that there was no need for him to continue arguing with these people.

He himself stepped into the spotlight.

Misaki Shokuhou and Luo Hao sat up straight, staring intently at the images in their minds, waiting for the historic moment.

The beginning of the legend was unfolding before their very eyes, a situation that stirred excitement in both of them.

"Once you get up here, you'll never have another chance, Lily!"

"Merry said softly."

"When have you ever given me a chance?"

Artoria chuckled softly and stepped forward to the Sword in the Stone.

I've been put in this position until now, and at this point, what opportunity is there to talk to her?

What opportunities are there!

“Oh dear…～ˇ…”

Mary smiled slightly without any apology, revealing a "what's the worst that can happen?" attitude.

"Besides, teacher! The future is uncertain!"

Thinking of Luo Hao, Misaki Shokuhou, and the chat group, Artoria couldn't help but reveal a beautiful smile.
