Public executions started with King Adonai

Artorius couldn't help but shudder.

His sister, Mordred.

He knew it, because he had known his origins since he was born, and King Arthur had never hidden it from him.

Therefore, he knew very well that the person who launched the rebellion and caused heavy damage to the Kingdom of Camelot was his biological sister Mordred. They were all alchemical humans created by their "Queen Mother" Morgan le Fay.

This was the pain and guilt Artorius felt, but he couldn't hate his sister Mordred and his mother, Queen Morgan le Fay, who was behind the incident, so he kept these emotions bottled up inside.

In the real world, after hearing King Arthur's words, everyone showed a look of enlightenment, and finally understood why King Arthur had to return the powerful Sword of Promised Victory to the Lady of the Lake.

All of this is to avoid being turned into a living dead by the power of the holy sword.

But if that were the case, wouldn't King Arthur have died at the Battle of Camlan? Then why was she still alive?

The answer came quickly.

Artorius's gaze subconsciously flickered to the Holy Lance in King Arthur's hand, emitting faint golden light particles. He then spoke in a deep voice, "So, you used the power of the Holy Lance to prolong your life. However, my mother told me that the power of the Holy Lance is even more domineering than that of the Holy Sword, and its power will actively corrode the wielder."

"If you were in your prime, this erosion would naturally be useless. However, the injuries you sustained in the Battle of Jianlan were too severe. Your continued survival is entirely dependent on the 'stability' attribute of the Holy Lance itself. While the power of the Holy Lance has allowed you to prolong your life, it has also been constantly eroding your body and even your soul over the years..."

King Arthur nodded. "That's right. After all these years of erosion, the Holy Lance has profoundly affected my body and soul. My human will has reached its limit, replaced by the will of the God, shaped by the power of the Holy Lance."

"Six months is my limit. After six months, I must die. If I stay any longer, the Holy Spear's erosion of me will completely transform me into a 'god.'"

"If I become a 'God,' all my thoughts will be based on the rational thinking of the God of Rationality. I will lack empathy for everything human, and make judgments and decisions based on absolute rationality, even interfering."

"This would undoubtedly be a huge disaster for Camelot. A god without empathy, even if he acts with the will to 'protect,' would only do so with absolute rationality and in the way he deems most appropriate."

"Humanity cannot bear this 'protection' and will completely become the 'toys' guarded by the 'Gods'."

"I will not allow this to happen, so I choose to pass the throne to you, and you will lead the Kingdom of Camelot to continue."

"The moment the 'King' dies is the moment the 'God' is born, Artorius. You, having inherited the wisdom of me and my sister, should be very clear about this."

Artorius: "..."

With his lips pursed, his face showed pain and helplessness.

Obviously, this is a painful decision.

This is also astonishing information for real-world viewers.

It turns out that King Arthur is not really dying, but is being irreversibly transformed into a god under the influence of the Holy Lance. If he becomes a god, it will undoubtedly be a huge disaster for the Kingdom of Camelot.

This queen had a very clear understanding of her own situation, so she chose to die as a king without hesitation.

At least, according to the truth known to the world, death is necessary.

Whether he will actually die is still unknown.

But many people have already had a vague guess that King Arthur as a human may really die, but King Arthur as a god is likely to live on in a way unknown to humans.

In Su Yun's personal activity room at Tianwang International High School, Altria turned to look at Su Yun and said in a heavy voice, "Ayun, King Arthur, what happened to the 'future'?"

Su Yun shook his head: "I don't know the specific situation, but I feel that the next light screen image is likely to be decrypted. We should be able to know the truth if we continue to watch."

Upon hearing this, Artoria nodded seriously, and her heavy and complex emotions were clearly visible in her gaze towards the image on the light screen again.

-

On the light screen, the conversation between Artorius and King Arthur ended, and Artorius's subsequent reaction was not played again.

However, the next scene shows that the kingdom is beginning to prepare for the abdication of King Arthur and the coronation of a new king.

When the whole country learned about it, they were obviously shocked and felt very uncomfortable. After all, judging from the situation, King Arthur was at the peak of his power in the Spring and Autumn Period.

Some ministers tried to persuade King Arthur not to be impulsive, but they were all rejected, and the succession ceremony finally proceeded in an orderly manner.

At the same time, Artorius, the new king, became more mature overnight. When dealing with various enemies and troubles, he also showed a more decisive and wise side, truly showing his excellent side that made him qualified to be a top king.

Praise is the evaluation of Artorius.

There is no doubt that this is definitely an excellent heir.

In this way, Artorius reached the age of eighteen in his physical body, and on this day when he turned eighteen, the grand coronation ceremony took place.

Chapter 347 King Arthur fakes his death and abdicates, Morgan le Fay's anger

Accompanied by the heavy and epic BGM, the succession ceremony began.

The light screen image was not played in detail, but fast-forwarded.

It shows the joyous scene of the entire Cretaceous City, with countless flowers scattered across the city to celebrate the coronation of the new king.

But at the same time, there is also a lot of sadness and reluctance, because this means that King Arthur, who is admired and trusted by the people, is about to abdicate.

In the Dark Ages, King Arthur led Camelot step by step towards light, saved Britain from the brink of destruction, and finally achieved the great feat of unifying the three British Isles. He himself is a synonym for miracle and a person who holds high the torch of hope in the endless darkness.

It attracted countless people who pursued light and eventually illuminated this dark age.

The abdication of such a king naturally made the people feel reluctant and sad. After all, even if this king has been living in seclusion in recent years and has become increasingly distant from the people, it will not change the British people's admiration for him at all.

However, royal power is not eternal. No matter how reluctant one is, the change of royal power in the Kingdom of Camelot is a confirmed fact.

After all, King Arthur had started preparing several years ago, and Artorius had built up enough prestige over the years, so no matter how reluctant the people were, they were ready to accept the new king.

Thanks to the fact that Artorius is outstanding enough, the people of Britain are full of expectations for the new king.

In this way, the image on the light screen first showed the situation in the city of Camelot, and then the camera moved to the castle, showing the solemn soldiers, and then moved forward, showing the ministers and the new and old Knights of the Round Table waiting in front of the throne.

Finally, standing in front of the throne, Artorius knelt on one knee in front of King Arthur with his head bowed, while King Arthur held the crown and crowned Artorius.

This coronation crown was usually performed by a religious figure, but in Britain, no one was more qualified than King Arthur to crown the new king.

In the absence of any clergy to perform the ceremony, King Arthur personally placed the crown on Artorius.

The Holy King's personal coronation will further confirm Artorius's authority and legitimacy.

King Arthur: "I believe you will make a worthy king, Artorius."

Artorius: "Yes, please believe me, I will never let you down, father."

When the crown is worn, the coronation is complete.

The Kingdom of Camelot officially transitioned from the era of King Arthur to the era of the Red Dragon King.

Then, Artorius, sitting on the throne, accepted the allegiance of his subjects and stood on the open-air platform to accept the cheers and shouts of the people in the city.

From then on, the era of King Arthur ended.

Not long after, King Arthur died of a relapse of his old illness.

The time is exactly the day when King Arthur died as recorded in history.

However, the screen image then showed a new picture. Here, Artorius held a farewell ceremony for King Arthur with a heavy face. According to King Arthur's arrangement, his "corpse" was cremated and the ashes were scattered into the sea. Only a cenotaph was left, which was also the tomb of King Arthur that was passed down to the 21st century.

On the other side, in front of a misty lake, the 'dead' King Arthur appeared here with the Holy Lance in his hand, and met another person who was declared 'dead of illness' two years ago.

Morgan le Fay.

The two sisters met again.

This scene made people in the real world extremely excited. They all exclaimed, "So that's how it is." King Arthur was not so easy to die. After all, his body had been transformed by the Holy Lance and was changing towards becoming a god. How could he die so easily?

What you see now is the truth hidden in history!

The time of King Arthur's death is not recorded in historical records, but at some other time. It is even questionable whether King Arthur really died.

Of course, most people believe that King Arthur did die, but the exact time of his death is uncertain.

The source of this judgment is that King Arthur's reincarnation, Artoria, is now active in the real world, and she must die before she can be reincarnated!

Obviously, the death announced to the public was just as King Arthur had said before. In order to avoid the kingdom from being endangered after being deified, King Arthur chose to "die" once and hand over the kingdom to the grown-up Artorius, who was another famous wise monarch in history, the Red Dragon King.

-

On the light screen, Morgan le Fay was looking at King Arthur, and King Arthur was also looking at Morgan le Fay. At this point, people saw that there was a clear green glow in King Arthur's eyes.

Seeing King Arthur like this, Morgan le Fay looked back at the Holy Lance that was emitting a lot of golden energy. "Just as Artorius said, Arthur, you have been corroded by the Holy Lance to the point that you can no longer maintain your human self."

King Arthur simply nodded calmly: "This is inevitable. When I chose to use the Holy Lance to prolong my life, it was destined to become like this. I have no regrets about this."

"Furthermore, I signed a contract with Heaven's Fate a long time ago. I believe that my current transformation was also predicted by Heaven's Fate. For Heaven's Fate, as a king, I am still too weak. Only if I ascend to God can I be of use."

King Arthur's tone was calm as he spoke these blatant words of exploitation, as if he was not talking about himself but an insignificant tool.

Morgan le Fay pursed his lips at the sight of this, his expression revealing a complex mix of emotions.

After a while, he asked in a slightly hoarse voice: "Arthur, is it really worth it to do this for this country?"

King Arthur: "Nothing is worth it. This is my choice and my mission as a king. When I pulled out the sword from the stone, Merlin told me that my fate is destined to be heavy and sad."

Morgan le Fay's expression suddenly became ferocious: "Merlin, that bastard Incubus! That abominable guy!"

His words were filled with deep resentment, as if it could not be washed away even by the whole world.

King Arthur looked down at Morgan le Fay and said, "Sister, why do you hate Merlin so much?"

Morgan le Fay responded excitedly, "Needless to say? If it weren't for that abominable fellow, I would be the King of Britain! I was born as the Lord of Britain! But my father (King Uther) and that bastard denied my existence! I, who was born for Britain, have become a huge joke!"

"Merlin, that bastard, it's all because of him that I lost everything! I lost my chance to be the King of Britain! Tell me, how can I not hate Merlin?"

As she spoke, her excited body language revealed the woman's deep hatred for Merlin.

However, at the very end, the image on the screen deliberately gave the woman a close-up of her eyes, with King Arthur's expressionless and calm face reflected in her pupils.

Although it was not stated explicitly, everyone in front of the screen seemed to have heard Morgan le Fay's thoughts at this moment.

"If it weren't for that bastard Merlin, why would you have to pay so much and even lose yourself in the end, Arthur..."

Chapter 348: The Tower of the End where Merlin is Imprisoned

Morgan's performance surprised many people.

This concubine is a little weird.

He clearly hated King Arthur very much, but he still tried every means to overthrow King Arthur's rule, showing his malice all the time.

However, sometimes he shows a side that cares about King Arthur.

This was the case when King Arthur said he was about to die in the light screen image not long ago, and it is the case now when King Arthur shows that he has lost his humanity and has no regrets about his contribution to the country.

I don’t know whether to call this complicated feeling tsundere or yandere.

Anyway, people were talking about it, and soon a "little genius" on the Internet came up with a summary conclusion.

"I understand. As expected, there are only royal chefs and twisted royal chefs in the Kingdom of Camelot. Even those who hate King Arthur are twisted because of their deep love for him."

This conclusion instantly received millions of likes and hundreds of thousands of reposts, and spread rapidly.

At the same time, people also realized how much King Arthur had sacrificed for the Kingdom of Camelot.

This still beautiful woman truly dedicated her entire life to her country and people.

For the sake of Britain, King Arthur was like the King of Fire in the eternal night, lighting up the world belonging to the British by lighting himself.

Just as the King of Conquerors commented, King Arthur is the least like a king compared to most kings in the world. Rather than a 'king', he is more like a saint who dedicated his life to his ideals.

Even at the last moment of his life, he still paved the way for the future of Britain and laid a solid foundation for the Kingdom of Camelot to grow into the future Holy British Empire.

In an instant, many people in the real world shed tears.

They were tears of emotion and tears of heartache, all because of the trembling of the heart for the beautiful woman named Arthur.

"King Arthur..." Morgan whispered with a complicated expression, and thought of Altria unconsciously in his mind.

Should we say that they are indeed the 'same person'?

They are all idealists.

The only consolation is probably that Artoria is not a saint like King Arthur, but a person of flesh and blood who cherishes humanity.

Everything the girl does, in addition to upholding the concept of justice, is more to protect the people around her who care about her. She is a girl who shoulders heavy responsibilities for her own feelings.
