At this moment, a priest in robes stood up, holding a book of scriptures, and talked a lot. To Chen Fei's ears, it was all nonsense with little nutrition.

After nearly half an hour, when it was completely dark, the robed priest finally finished his speech and announced that the Sword in the Stone sacrificial ceremony had officially begun.

Next, all the members of the royal family, each number numbering in the thousands, drew their swords and knelt down on one knee to salute the Sword in the Stone.

After the ceremony, the really crucial part of the ceremony finally came, that is, the members of the royal family try to pull out the sword from the stone. If they can successfully pull out the sword from the stone, they will win the attention of the Holy See and the royal family and focus on their training.

It can be said that after this relief, all the royal family members are eager to try and gear up.

Although most of the people present knew that the fight for the Sword in the Stone was still between the eldest prince Aubrey and the second prince Porut, and other members of the royal family basically had no chance.

But after all, it is an annual ceremony and an opportunity to change themselves. Many members of the royal family still want to try it out.

As the priest announced the list, one by one, the royal family members walked towards the square stone in the center of the courtyard, gathered their breath, held the rusty Sword in the Stone with both hands, gritted their teeth and exerted force, trying to pull the Sword in the Stone out of the stone.

Pull it out.

However, after many attempts, the Sword in the Stone still remained motionless. Let alone pulling it out, there was no way it could even move.

In the blink of an eye, more than ten members of the royal family were trying, but there was still no progress.

Although this result was expected by everyone, everyone was still a little disappointed when they saw it with their own eyes.

Especially the senior royal family members who were sitting behind the curtain on the second floor of the manor, watching all this from a high position, couldn't help but let out a soft sigh.

At this time, Chen Fei squinted at the scene and felt a little interested in it.

Because, he had been observing just now.

Although these common-sense royal family members are not very powerful martial arts masters, they still have basic strength. The weakest ones have the strength of early earth level, and the strong members have even reached the heaven level.

With this kind of strength, among ordinary people, he would definitely be considered a master.

Under normal circumstances, if an iron sword is inserted into a stone, it doesn't take an earth-level expert, but a moderately capable mid-to-late yellow level warrior to pull the sword out.

But now, this sword in the stone is still motionless. It has to be said that it is a bit special.

Suddenly, cheers erupted from the crowd, awakening Chen Fei from his deep thoughts.

He looked up and saw a sturdy man about thirty-four or five years old standing up, and there was warm applause and discussion around him.

Seeing this, Chen Fei couldn't help but show curiosity, looked at Selena next to him, and asked aloud: "Who is that? Is it awesome to be so popular?"

Selina approached Chen Fei and explained to him in a low voice: "That's General Qiubrey. He is a descendant of the royal family. Although his status is not as good as that of the eldest prince and the second prince, his grandfather was the younger brother of the king at that time.

They can also be considered blood relatives of the royal family."

"What's more important is that Qiubrey has been serving in the army since he was eighteen years old. He has great military exploits, strength and reputation."

"Some people even say that if it weren't for blood.

Qiubrey also has the strength to compete with the two current princes."

"However, although Qiubli has almost no chance of competing for the throne.

But if he can pull out the sword in the stone, it will be a great opportunity for him and his family to improve their status and reputation."

"Moreover, Jobry was also one of the best-performing royals last year.

Therefore, everyone is looking forward to him."

After listening to Selena's narration, Chen Fei nodded and looked at Qiao Bri who was on the stage with interest, "That's it!"

At this time, the burly Qiubrey walked to the Sword in the Stone. He spread his legs slightly, shook his shoulders slightly, and exerted a little force to stand firmly on the ground with his feet.

Then, his hands reached out and grasped the hilt of the Sword in the Stone.

Then, use both arms to exert force and begin to pull out the Sword in the Stone.

The huge force caused Qiubrey's arms to tremble with veins, his feet to sink, and he slowly sank into the dirt ground.

The Sword in the Stone, which had been motionless before, actually swayed slightly under Qiao Bri's tremendous force.

Suddenly, the discussions and cheers in the courtyard became even more enthusiastic.

Qiubrey also seemed to be inspired. He gritted his teeth again and worked hard to pull the sword in the stone.

Finally, the Sword in the Stone, which had been silent until now, was exposed upwards.

Suddenly, the scene fell silent, and then burst into enthusiastic cheers.

"Jobry, come on!"

"General Jobry, well done!"

"As expected of General Qiubrey, he is so powerful."

.........Amidst the cheers, the Sword in the Stone was still slowly moving upwards, and the sword blade was slowly exposed from the stone piece by piece, which was exciting.

After pulling out about ten centimeters, Qiaobu's insides were swollen red, his thick arms were trembling, his teeth were bleeding slightly from clenching his teeth, and he wanted to try harder.

However, the sword in the stone could no longer move.

After a stalemate for about ten seconds, Qiubrey finally couldn't hold on anymore. His arms were released, and the sword in the stone was pulled out ten centimeters and inserted into the stone again. It was exactly the same as in the original state, as if nothing had happened.

.

At this moment, Qiubrey was holding his knees with both hands and breathing heavily. He was obviously very tired.

Although he failed to pull out the sword from the stone, Qiao Bry's wonderful performance still won the warm cheers from the audience.

Even the royal family elders behind the curtain on the second floor praised it, "Not bad."

Qiubrey gasped for a while, then retreated, and the scene gradually became quiet.

Then, in the eyes of everyone, little Princess Eileen walked out from the crowd wearing a beautiful tutu.

Seeing Princess Irene, the eyes of everyone present were involuntarily drawn towards her.

Looking at the little princess's delicate and angelic face, many people had a look of intoxication on their faces.

Chen Fei was also slightly surprised. He looked at Selena and said, "Princess Eileen also wants to try?"

Selena nodded and said: "No matter what the result is, as a member of the royal family, if you don't even dare to try, it will be unjustifiable."

At this time, Irene had arrived in front of the Sword in the Stone.

Compared to the Sword in the Stone stuck in the stone, Selena, who was just thirteen years old, seemed a bit short.
