Chapter 365: The War King and the Wise King

[First update~]

……

Artoria opened her eyes again.

In the small room, there was simple furniture and the windows were half-open. The early morning sunlight shone in and onto her face.

She couldn't remember how many times this had happened, but after every failure, she would return to this day.

On this day, she had just completed the New Year ceremony, and this day was called this by people in the country.

It was an era of war, and the beginning of the war was the demise of an empire.

The empire, which was supposed to be invincible, was waiting for death under the invasion of many pagans. In order to fight the pagans, the empire transferred the troops that were originally guarding an island country.

This is the beginning!

Altria's country lost the protection of the empire and soon split into small kingdoms.

At this time, Artoria was born as the king's successor.

Unfortunately, she was a girl and not the one the king was expecting.

Not a boy, so he cannot inherit the throne.

Therefore, the young Altria was fostered by a retainer and grew up as a knight's child.

Growing up in such an environment, Artoria practiced day after day in order to be stronger than anyone else.

If the king is the only one who can save this country on the verge of death, then there is no need to say more. This girl swears to swing her sword for it!

"Today is the day of prophecy."

Altria, looking dazed, slowly got up from the bed.

Maybe it was because she had reincarnated too many times, but her spirit was becoming increasingly exhausted.

"On the day of the prophecy, in order to choose a king, the king urgently summoned the lords and knights of the country. Whoever could pull out the sword from the stone would become the king of Britain."

Altria thought secretly in her heart.

She clearly remembered the golden inscription on the Sword in the Stone.

He also knew clearly that he had finally pulled out the Sword from the Stone as a "Knight Candidate".

The most revered magician in the country warned her at the time.

"If you pull that thing out, you will no longer be human. To become a king, you must no longer be human. A king, in order to protect his people, must kill the most people."

As it should be, as if it was fate, no one could move the Sword in the Stone at all, and the moment Artoria tried to pull it out, it was pulled out so easily.

At that moment, Artoria's life growth stopped, and time was permanently frozen at that moment.

She is not human anymore!

She went from being a human girl to a king, and was entrusted with one mission after another. She became a symbol, a symbol, and a praised spirit.

Afterwards, a new king ascended the throne. Artoria commanded the army like a god, and was praised as the king who was the incarnation of the dragon and could not be defeated.

Ten years on the battlefield, twelve major battles, all ended in physical defeat.

Things that would happen in the "future" flashed through Altria's mind like a kaleidoscope.

"call……"

Artoria breathed a sigh of relief, gathered her thoughts, and prepared to go and pull out the Sword in the Stone.

She wants to lead everyone out of the predicament again!

"Hehehe..."

Suddenly, a helpless chuckle came from the bottom of Altria's heart.

Altria's delicate body stiffened for a moment, but she did not seem overly panicked.

"who?"

"Arthur, Arthur Pendragon."

"Is it you? Why are you here?"

"Why I'm here is unimportant. I just can't bear to watch this. This is your twelfth reincarnation, and you've already failed eleven times. Are you still persisting?"

Arthur's voice echoed directly into Altria's mind: "No matter what you do, no matter how well you do it, the end result will be the same. You will return here again and again, back to the day when your destiny began."

Upon hearing this, Artoria's hands tightened imperceptibly.

"If it is fate, I will definitely transcend it. I am not rebelling against my own fate, I am simply changing the future of Britain. I can accept the decline of a country, but I cannot accept that way."

"Your persistence is pointless. When you brought Britain to glory, you should have known that sooner or later, when you disappeared, that glory would fade. Moreover, in the end, you were still betrayed, so this decline should have been even faster."

Hearing this, Artoria gritted her teeth and said after a while, "You are also the Knight King. You should have experienced the same thing. I don't know why you appeared, but I regard you as another male self in a parallel world. Haven't you ever considered this problem?"

"What's there to think about?"

Arthur scoffed. "No matter how powerful a founding emperor is, sooner or later, a foolish successor will ruin everything. Qin Shi Huang of ancient China was known as the greatest emperor of all time, but he died in just two generations. It's normal for a regime to perish when a leader dies."

After a pause, he continued, "You just said that I experienced what you experienced? That's wrong. I didn't experience any betrayal, no loss of country, nothing. In my world, ancient Britain is still doing well."

"What?" Altria was stunned.

"All problems, ultimately, are problems of productivity and institutions. Why were there so many mysteries during the Age of Gods, but in modern times, even the gods have completely disappeared? This is because human productivity has developed and technology has advanced."

Arthur grinned and said, "Ancient Britain doesn't need an Artoria. Instead, it needs a wise king who understands science, development, and statecraft. Artoria, you're only marginally useful in warfare. Don't be so arrogant!"

The girl was struck by lightning.

……

Nothingness, void, the gap between worlds.

"That Arthur, he's one of yours too, right?"

Alaya said with a hint of dissatisfaction: "You broke the rules!"

"I didn't do anything. Arthur and Altria are individuals of the same nature from two parallel worlds. No, to be more precise, Arthur is the orthodox one, and Altria is the anomaly."

Qin Yang sat there calmly, "If I want to interfere, I can do it more secretly so that you can see it?"

Although Alaya was dissatisfied with this, he didn't say anything.

Gaia, however, deeply forgot about Emperor Qin.

Arthur did exist, and as Qin Yang said, King Arthur was a male, which is the correct historical statement.

However, Gaia could not tell which parallel world Arthur, who was hiding in Altria's heart, came from.

It is difficult to find any trace of the other party's existence.

You know, she is the ruler of the planet, and most things on this planet cannot escape her attention.

That Arthur, like Emperor Qin, appeared suddenly and appeared as the servant of the Time Messenger.

Not only that, the spells in the hands of the Time Messenger were used to connect with the Seat of Heroes in another more domineering way.

Therefore, Gaia can be sure that this Arthur is not as simple as he seems.

……

The three people watching from the sidelines were thinking about each other.

In the fantasy world, Artoria was stunned.

"It's not me you need, but... the wise king?"

Chapter 366 Six-Star Knight King (1)

……

"It's not me you need, but... the wise king?"

Altria was stunned, shaken by Arthur's words.

She had been resisting so hard, but in the end, this is what she got in return?

Suddenly, Artoria recalled the scenes of becoming a disciple of the dojo master.

——What you say is not what others expect. You don’t understand people’s hearts.

This is a very common thing, and for Qin Yang, this kind of thing is very ordinary.

For example, when he was preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination, there was a system called "adjustment". The teacher in his school, the one in charge of admissions, did not want the grades of the transferred students, nor the awards, trophies, and honors that the students had won.

Simply put, what the teacher in charge of the adjustment wants is not how good the student is, but whether he or she will come.

Students who want to transfer often want to show how outstanding they are in front of the teachers, but this is meaningless. What the other party wants is just an affirmation that "you will indeed report."

Artoria fell into silence, and even temporarily forgot that she should pull out the sword from the stone on the day of the prophecy.

She was confused and didn't know what to do.

"Can a wise king lead the country to prosperity and avoid being bullied?" she murmured.

"Does not."

Arthur smiled. "You are a king of troubled times, not of prosperous times. In troubled times, people like you are still needed, but you are far from being able to govern a country."

Hearing this, Artoria suddenly felt a little better.

Suddenly, she couldn't help but ask, "You once pulled out the sword from the stone. How did you do it? Why does Britain still exist in your world?"

"This question is very complicated. I have a suggestion, I wonder if you are interested?" Arthur asked back.

"What proposal?"

"Use your own eyes to witness everything."

As he spoke, a white light flashed on Altria's chest, then turned into a scabbard, and the scabbard eventually turned into Arthur himself.

"It's just a clone of mine, it doesn't have much power." Arthur said, "But it should be able to pull out the Sword in the Stone."

"You mean..."

"I will take your place and become king, and you will become my incarnation, leading the wars and pacifying the troubled times. With your military prowess and my principles of governing, we can transcend fate and change everything!"

Both are King Arthur, but they have clear divisions of labor.
