Zongman: Unlock the Heroic Spirit Heritage from Demon Slayer

I saw a huge pit with a radius of ten meters appeared at his original position, and the horse that carried him here was completely destroyed.

"It was a close call. I almost got to meet King Uther!" Merlin wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said thankfully.

"Watch your mouth! You annoying nightmare!" Morgan stared at Merlin with cold eyes, "I'll give her time! I'll even help her grow! When the time comes, I'll give her a head-on blow when she's at her best!"

Whoops!

The wind is blowing!

Morgan turned around and disappeared from Merlin's sight. Only her voice still echoed in the air.

"Merlin, I'll kill you too!"

The voice gradually faded away, and Merlin sat down on the ground, talking to himself at the sky:

"Phew! That was a close call! I've been pretending for so many years, but something went wrong right now."

"Morgan will come to the capital in person. I should have prepared for this kind of thing!"

"Fortunately, this child is as gullible as Leah, otherwise Britain's hopes would be ruined here today!"

This couldn't be blamed on Merlin. Over the past year, dealing with the mess left behind by King Uther had consumed a great deal of his experience.

Not to mention, at this moment on the British Isles, the power of the counterattack by the Age of Gods was stronger than he had expected.

Morgan's strength also increased significantly.

"I always feel like something is wrong, but I can't remember where it is. It's really troublesome!" Merlin complained helplessly about the situation in front of him. "Forget it, let's arrange the ceremony of choosing the king! This sword should come in handy."

With that, he drew the weapon from the scabbard that hung beside his wand.

The sword body exudes a cold light, and the hilt is engraved with golden inscriptions.

——"Whoever pulls this sword out of the rock shall be the king of Britain!"

What was surprising was that there was a blood-colored magic circle on the sword, which should have been intact.

……

at dusk.

Kai rushed to his home like crazy, calling out his sister's name loudly.

"Liya!! Liya!! Where are you!"

Sir Atok looked coldly at his son who was shouting and yelling in front of him, and was already thinking in his mind how to punish him.

"Be quiet!"

Kai was not afraid at all by his father's rebuke. He continued to call out loudly, and even ignored the mud on his body and rushed upstairs desperately.

“Liya!!”

"Brother, I'm here, what's wrong with you?"

Altria poked her little head out from behind the door and looked at her distraught brother in confusion.

After seeing his sister, Kai collapsed to the ground and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Great, you're fine!"

His son's strange behavior aroused Sir Atok's vigilance.

"Kai, what happened? Tell me!"

So Kai repeated to the two what he saw on the way back.

"A huge pit! I guarantee that even Lord Merlin can't blow it up!"

"There are traces of blood on the edge of the pit! You know, almost no one passes by this road!"

"This pit wasn't there when Leah and I came here, but it suddenly appeared when we were leaving!"

Sir Atok's heart tightened.

"Do you suspect that something happened to Leah?"

Kai nodded vigorously and said.

"Right! That's what I was worried about, but luckily nothing happened to Leah!"

After saying that, he realized that he was dirty, so he blushed and walked downstairs to take a shower and change his clothes.

"Strange, when I came back, I only ran into an old woman and the magician in my dream. There was clearly no big pit!"

Altria was a little surprised and muttered.

The magician in the dream?

Sir Atok took a deep breath.

"Liya! Did you run into that guy himself?"

Altria nodded and said:

"I can't mistake that white hair and that white robe!"

Finally, you came to my door!

Sir Atok's heart sank.

Ever since Altria described the magician in her dream when she was a child, Sir Atok knew that man was Merlin!

Combined with the instructions of the man in black.

In fact, he had already vaguely guessed the identity of his adopted daughter.

……

There is one more chapter.

Chapter 369: The King Selection Ceremony Begins

In the evening, it’s dinner time at the Aitok family’s house.

The three of them didn't say anything, they just ate the dinner on the plate in silence.

And the worried Sir Atok finally spoke.

"News has come from the capital that the king selection ceremony is about to begin."

Hearing this news from his father, Kai's eyes lit up and he immediately put down his knife and fork, and said in surprise:

"Same as before?"

Sir Aetok nodded, and continued:

"That's right. Since King Uther is unwilling to give the throne to His Highness Morgan, we will follow the ancient law and choose our king from the most brave and combative knights in the kingdom."

Very good!

Kai jumped up in excitement and almost knocked over the table.

"But!" Sir Atok interrupted his son's cheering with a sudden turn.

"But what?" Kay asked.

"But there is a prerequisite!" Sir Atok casually glanced at Altria who was eating silently.

My so-called daughter doesn't care about this matter at all.

"But how can you hide?" Sir Atok sighed in his heart.

“Lord Merlin, in accordance with King Uther’s will, a sword-drawing ceremony will be held.

Whoever pulls out the sword from the stone will immediately become the king of Britain.

If no one is able to pull out the sword from the stone, then the final winner will be chosen from the tournament."

"I thought it was a big deal! It's just a matter of drawing a sword, it's easy to catch!"

Kai didn't think that a mere sword in the stone could stump him.

Sir Atok poured cold water on his son.

"That is the prophesied sword of the king-chooser. Don't I know how powerful you are?"

Sword of the Chosen King?

Kai, who knew nothing about studying, encountered unknown territory.

Artoria, who was busy eating, couldn't bear to see her father bullying her brother, so she explained:

"The prophecy made by Lord Merlin, whom you worship, is that the one who pulls out the sword of the king-chooser will save this country. Brother, you should also read some books."

After saying that, Altria walked into the room, took out the book containing the prophecy, turned to the corresponding page, and handed it to Kai.

"But you always shout about Lord Merlin. Do you know what he looks like?"

After hearing what his sister said, Kai felt so ashamed that his face turned red.

"Master Merlin...it's Master Merlin! If I had seen him, would he still be Merlin?"

Then he looked at his father and said expectantly:

"Father has certainly seen it! He has been on the battle expedition with King Uther!"

Sir Atok had no expression on his face. He muttered in his heart:

"My foolish son, the Merlin you're obsessed with is actually the magician you insult all day and who takes up Leah's rest time!!"

Seeing that both children were looking at him, Sir Atok simply said:

"If you want to know what Merlin looks like so badly, why don't you go to the capital and participate in the king selection ceremony yourself?"

The Aitok family was less than a dozen miles away from the royal capital.

"Great! I can meet Lord Merlin and retrieve the Sword in the Stone! At worst, I can win by fighting in a duel!"

Kai has already begun to imagine himself killing everyone and finally seizing the throne.

Once again, Sir Atok poured cold water on his son.

"Wake up, you can't even beat Leah."

Correct! Rational!

But Kai's enthusiasm was not affected at all.

"It doesn't matter, it won't hurt to let Leah be the king then!"

"No, I don't want to. I listen to the teachings of that magician every day. I have no interest in such things."

Altria had just finished her third dinner and shook her head reluctantly.

"If you want to go, I'll go with you! You can definitely win, brother!"

With the support of his sister, Kai's confidence increased.

"Liya! Let's train together tomorrow!"

Altria nodded to indicate that it was no problem.

When dinner was over, the two children left the table, leaving Sir Atoq alone.

"Don't you want to be king? I'm afraid this matter is not up to you, my daughter."

The candle was blown out, and in the darkness, only Sir Atok's sigh remained.

……

The day of the king selection ceremony has finally arrived.

Kai got up early today and hurriedly took his sister to the royal capital.

The already bustling royal capital became even more crowded because of this special day.

"Liya! Follow me closely, don't get separated!"

Kai, wearing his own armor, stood in front of his sister.

He tried to use his strength to push through the crowd and make a way out.

But this street was full of knights wearing armor just like him, and all of them were tall and strong, and older than Kai, who had just reached adulthood.

As expected, Kai's attempt to push through the crowd ultimately ended in failure.
