Gate of Apocalypse

[It's past twelve... this chapter is too hard to write!

I used too many thoughts, writing, deleting and writing, trying to simplify and simplify.

I just pray, I hope that after watching it, you don't think I can fill the water again...

British history is really a mess... it's going to blow my mind when I look at the data!

……

Chapter 216 [Clues]

According to legend, King Arthur's stone sword is being cut off in battle!

So... where did the blade go with the blade handle?

Such a holy sword is an important symbol of kingdom… I'm afraid no one will casually take it as an ordinary sword and throw it away!

Well, the effect of the Sword in Stone is basically two layers: the first is the actual battle. The second level is the symbol of kingship.

Legend has it that when this sword is broken, the role in action is abandoned.

But the role of the symbol of kingdom can still be preserved!

Still that question...

Where's the sword blade?

……

Chen Xiaoliang sighed and glanced at the spare tire: “You asked a very good question. ”

“Huh?” The spare tire grabbed her hair and grinned for a moment: “Really? ”

“I have a hunch.” Chen Xiaocai smiled bitterly: “With systematic urinity, since a task has been opened to us to find the handle of the sword, then... this matter will never be over. I'm worried, the next mission, maybe the system will let us find the blade!

Otherwise, simply finding a blade handle doesn't seem to make sense. The plot should have some kind of consistency or linkage. ”

Tires glanced at his brother: “I think the little face makes sense. ”

“So... we're looking for the blade?” The spare tire stunned for a moment: "Find it now? ”

“Mmm-hmm!” Chen Xiaoliang slapped the steering wheel hard!

And then he looked so excited: “I think... if we wait for the system to release the mission, maybe we'll get to a ghost place like the Tower of London, and we'll get a bunch of monsters to kill, maybe we'll get another BOSS like Lancelot... that would be too hard to do.

How about we do it now.

The plot has not been activated while the system has not published a task yet!

The plot is not activated and the task is not published, so... maybe there won't be any monsters or BOSS or anything!

Of course, it's just a guess. ”

Though it's just a guess, both tires and spare tires think Chen Xiaocai's guess seems reasonable.

Try it anyway!

If you can find the sword blade before the system opens the next task, you might save a lot of energy!

“What are you waiting for? Let's find the blade now!” Spare tire friction fist to wipe the palm.

The smile on Chen Xiaocai's face faded again.

“The question is… where is the blade? ”

……

Sword blade in stone.

If in reality, someone asks how to find the Sword in Stone... this question will definitely be laughed off.

Because… the Sword in Stone does not exist at all!!

It was invented in literary works!!

The whole legendary story of King Arthur, what King Arthur pulled out the Sword in the Stone, what Knights of the Round Table, what Lancelot * * his wife...

These are all literary works.

Not true history!

It's like you're trying to find a frost in the real world.

This is bullshit.

……

However... Chen Xiaolian looked at the handle of the stone sword in his hand.

This thing is real right in front of you, right in your hand.

“Since the handle of the sword in stone really exists... then the sword in stone itself seems to exist in the real world...

Though I don't know what the hell is going on.

But... the system is universal, and there's always a way to get it out. ”

Chen Xiaocai thought about it: “The idea is… to find a clue from King Arthur's legendary story. ”

Chen Xiaocai thought about it, took out his cell phone, went online and looked up some information.

Although he has seen King Arthur's legendary story and several versions, after all, he is not a computer and remembers many details that are not clear, especially some important details, but it would be better to reconfirm them.

“Well... the legend of King Arthur, the earliest complete version that appeared, was in the twelfth century AD. That is, between 1100 and 1200 AD.” Chen Xiaolei slowed down: “The complete legend of King Arthur was formed during this period, including the Sword of the Stone, including the Knight of the Round Table, as well as his and Lancelot's and the Queen's triangle love… these legends were formed during this period. ”

The spare tire and the tire guy looked at Chen Xiaolian so silly.

“Uh... Face, you know me and the spare tires don't read much, so make it as simple as possible.” Tires laughed bitterly.

Chen Xiaolian suddenly smiled. He took out a blank paper and a pen and quickly drew a topographical map of the shape of a long strip of island.

“You see, it's like this is England, even though I'm a little short on painting. ”

Chen Xiaocao slowly said: “The history of England is really strange, they were not a whole country before 800 AD... this is different from my Great Heavenly Dynasty, we have a great unity long ago.

At that time, England was first ruled by the Romans, after the fall of the Roman Empire, the Romans left England, and then England… how to put it, turned into a pot of porridge, a rotten mud pond.

There are indigenous races, there are foreign races, and in short, there are great strife.

And then, about the 7th century AD, there were seven bigger lords on British soil —— what? You mean like Seven Hungry Warriors?

Er... you must not have seen the song of ice and fire! Actually, it's the novel that old Martin wrote against that background.

Well, far from it, one of the seven lords, one of whom is quite cattle-forged, conquered other indigenous lords, for the time being recognized by all native lords, is the recognized King of England.

Established the first dynasty in British history.

Well, I'm not going to say the name, but you can't remember it either.

However, this dynasty does not rule the whole of England… that is, there is no unified world.

Why? Because Britain is an island country, and there are a lot of constant invasions from the European continent, the most invasive of which are the Nordics, and, um, the most invasive of which were the Danes in that period.

A part of the territory has been occupied by the Danish people.

Then the native British dynasty became bitter.

The British of that era were impoverished, backward and bullied by the Danes.

But even more painfully, they still can't do the Danes.

And then... the Danes did a great job. In other words, the first dynasty in mainland England did not unite the country and was conquered by the Danes.

The Danes ruled the UK.

However... a strange one ensued.

This strange man is called Edward, the last prince of the bitter English dynasty.

He was the first British king in the history of the United Kingdom to unite the nation.

He united England not because he was able to fight for good, not because of the revolution… but because of marriage and marriage.

The last Danish king to rule Britain was dead.

This Edward inherited the throne... because, although he is an Englishman, his mother married the King of Denmark! Because the King of Denmark married Edward's mother, the original Queen of England, in order to rule England so that the British would not rebel.

That means... Edward, not only is he a prince of England, but legally he is also the stepson of the King of Denmark!

He succeeded to the throne! Suddenly dominated the whole of England. ”

Tire spares are stunned: “This Nima is too lucky, isn't it? ”

Chen Xiaolian shrugged his shoulder: “Of course the process is complicated, I won't go into detail! And… Europe's history cannot be measured by our Eastern philosophy. ”

“And then what?” Spare tires seem to sound a little addictive.

“Then... this Edward did a stupid thing. ”

Chen Xiaolei slowly said: "Tonight we all entered the Tower of London, right? ”

“Yeah.”

“Well, the story starts here.” Chen Xiaolei slowly said: “After this lucky Edward became king, but unfortunately, he had no son or offspring!

So, when he died, no one could inherit the throne.

So he did a silly thing, and when he picked his heir... he made a commitment to both different people to pass the throne on to each other.

But there is only one throne.

So after Edward died, the war broke out. ”

Chen Xiaocao said, looking back out the window, in the direction of the Tower of London, he took a deep breath.

“The first king of England to sweep the sky by force has appeared! That's the one who built the Tower of London!

The one from France… William. ”

Chen Xiaocai's eyes looked a little strange. He didn't turn back until the tire and spare tire coughed hard. He smiled bitterly: “I'm sorry, I think it's strange. ”

He then took a deep breath: "Before Edward died, he promised two people he would inherit the throne.

One is Edward's wife's brother, um, his brother-in-law.

The other is Edward's cousin, William, Duke of Normandy of France.

This William is not actually French. You see, I told him that he was Edward's cousin, which means he had British royal blood… Of course, it's not just that simple, because the history of the Normandy family, that's another story, I won't give a shit.

Let's just say, after Edward died, his brother-in-law soon inherited the throne because of the nearby water staircase, right on the mainland.

And then... William quit! His angry growl: I bought a watch last year! Edward promised me the throne!

So he brought his men in to take the throne.

And he also succeeded.

This guy is a real fork!

His military talent was remarkable, he waged war, led troops across the sea from Normandy, France, and killed Edward's brother-in-law directly on the battlefield!

Then battle all the way to calm down England.

If there is also a role similar to that of the Emperor Qin in the history of England... this guy should be closest.

His name is William and he has a nickname in history called...

Conqueror. William. ”

Chen Xiaocao said here, thinking: “If, say, the first king in British history to conquer the world by force, complete the unification... then this conqueror. William, be the first. ”

He continued, "The Tower of London, built by this William. The first military castles were built for the role of war. And he finally beat the world, and so his dynasty, known in British history as the Normandy dynasty, also known as the Norman dynasty.

Historically, it was at this time that Britain became truly strong and a powerful nation. ”

Speaking of the Tower of London, the tires and spare tires are brightening!

Tower of London!!

They found the handle of the Sword in Stone in the Tower of London!!

“Think… William's conquest of Britain as King of England took place in the tenth century AD.

And just after he unified Britain and turned it into a powerful nation...

King Arthur's legendary story… began to circulate. ”

Chen Xiaolei said with a smile: "In the story, King Arthur can enlist the good fight, and there are countless warriors under him, most importantly... he has a stone sword from heaven! This is the symbol of the law that made him king!

Though King Arthur himself is a literary story, it's essentially no different from the online overhead novels we read.

But if it's who you're projecting...

Personally, conqueror. William is the most like one in terms of temperament.

Or... suppose there really is a stone sword.

And this stone sword represents the kingship bestowed by heaven...

So, who do you think holds this stone sword? ”

Tires and spare tires at the same time:

“That's him!! ”

The first powerful king of the world by force!!

The sword bestowed by the heaven symbolizes kingdom!!

This sword, he doesn't wear it, is the rest eligible to own it?!

……

“I think there may be two possibilities.

The first, there really is King Arthur in history, there is Sword in Stone. But... when William unified the world, he got the Sword in the Stone... so he couldn't beat it and sweep the world. Because he has the sword of the king!

Second, William is the legendary archetype of King Arthur, then the Sword in Stone... perhaps his own sword.

Anyway, I think the Sword in the Stone is in William's hand, it should be the most likely! ”

Tires and spare eyes are bright.

The spare tire suddenly said: "But... with the Sword in stone, did William's dynasty end? ”

“Destroyed, replaced by another dynasty. ”

“Why?” The spare tire stared.

Chen Xiaolei laughed: “I think... it was the stone that broke the sword and broke it into two pieces. So the divine power of kingdom is incomplete, can only be blessed for a while, after time, lose the divine power protection, hahahaha... I'm kidding, maybe that's how the system sets the scene. ”

“The key now is… we hypothesize the clue to the conqueror. William's body, so the blade of the sword in the stone, maybe from him?” The tire stunned: “But... how many years has this guy been dead? A thousand years, huh? ”

The spare tire screams: “Fuck! You don't want us to steal the tomb again!! I don't want to go through anything like Qin Huangling again! ”

“Idiot!” The tire suddenly reacted: “Of course this symbol of power will not be taken to the grave… it must be passed on to the later generations. ”

He looked at Chen Xiaolian: "Right? Must have passed it on to the descendants, right? ”

“Well... I think this guess makes sense. ”

Chen Xiaocai picked up his phone and shook it: “The family of the conqueror Williams, called the Duke of Normandy, is their name, and this name, over the centuries, has simplified into 'Norman’. His descendants, though no longer king, have retained the title of nobility. In England, it should be an ancient nobility...”

Speaking of which, Chen Xiaoliang's face suddenly turned wild! His voice and smile stopped and his face even froze.

Norman... Norman... Nobility...!

He suddenly remembered a strange and familiar name!

No……

Not…

This can't be such a coincidence.

Really... such a coincidence?!!

[I believe some readers have guessed...

Didn't guess, but now go over the last few passages of chapter 95 of the book...

This pit, this name pit, I buried over a hundred chapters! Finally wrote this pit!

Believe me, this chapter is not really watering down, I thought about these plots in chapter 95, really not writing down the number of words for watering up!

cough.

PS: Chen Xiaocao's description of British history has been simplified as much as possible, naturally omitting a lot of content in the middle, such as Alfred the Great, etc...

Please don't laugh at the history expert, it's not that I'm an ignorant author, but if I write in more detail, the reader will think that it's popularizing British history...

For novel service, only a few things can be omitted when describing British history.
