Chapter 61 The Sword in the Lake

Led by Queen Gros, the group walked to the tombstone engraved with King Arthur's name.

After Luo Fu stood still, he stared at the inscription on the tombstone for a while, then raised his head slightly and looked at the large, simple tomb standing behind the white jade tombstone.

It was a tomb about three meters high. The base of the tomb was made of octagonal granite. The main body of the tomb was a whole piece of dragon crystal. The cylindrical upper part looked like an ancient bell.

At the top of the tomb is a statue of King Arthur:

Wearing a suit of golden armor, he sat solemnly, holding the sword lying across his knees tightly with his stone fingers. His eyes set with sapphires stared at the towering tree named Helios on the horizon.

"Is this really King Arthur's tomb?" Rolf observed for a while, then turned to Queen Gros and asked:

"It's not just a burial mound. There are no bones in it, right?"

There was a reason for his guess.

There are dozens of places in the UK, large and small, that have claimed to have discovered King Arthur's tomb.

The most famous one is Glastonbury, a small town on the Somerset Plains in England. As early as the 12th century, local monks claimed to have found the tomb of King Arthur.

In addition, there is Tintagel in Cornwall in southwest England. Not only does it say that King Arthur is buried in the village, it also claims to be the hometown of King Arthur!

In fact, in order to declare that he was the orthodox, Tintagel even quarreled with Glastonbury, which was very similar to the so-called disputes between the hometown of Yu and the hometown of Lao Tzu in Rove's previous life.

Therefore, he habitually suspected that the tomb in front of him was also fake, or... a suspicious tomb!

"Of course it is the real Tomb of King Arthur." Queen Gros walked beside Rolf and stood side by side with him. Her eyes stayed on the statue of King Arthur and she said softly:

"I once dug this tomb..."

Luo Fu, Shirley and Niles all turned to look at Queen Gros. Faced with the surprised looks of the three of them, she said without changing her expression:

"The tomb was in disrepair at the time. I was digging to protect it, not robbing it. Don't get me wrong!"

Of course, Luofu did not misunderstand. If it were him, he would also carry out "excavating protection", so he did not dwell too much on this issue and continued to ask:

"Then what did you find when you were protecting me?"

"A hollowed-out oak tree that looks like a coffin contains a skeleton. On the top of the skull, there is an area of ​​color that is obviously different from other parts." Queen Gross said.

Luofu narrowed his eyes and became thoughtful.

That year, during the Battle of the Bastards, King Arthur was stabbed in the head by Mordred and died.

Although he was later resurrected by the divine plover bird, the color of the newly grown skull was definitely different from the old skull.

It seems that the legendary King Arthur is indeed buried in this tomb!

Thinking of this, the young man was slightly excited and said: "Queen Gros, is there the legendary sword in the lake in the tomb?"

The Sword in the Lake is also known as the Sword of the King or the Sword of Broken Steel.

Back then, King Arthur went to Avalon with the help of the wizard Merlin, and finally got the sword in a lake.

Then, King Arthur, holding the Sword in the Lake, returned to England. He not only put an end to civil strife, drove out foreign enemies, but also unified Britain.

King Arthur is so powerful thanks to the Sword in the Lake. It is said to be powerful and indestructible, cutting iron like mud and can easily pierce even armor forged by goblins.

Therefore, as long as you have the Sword in the Lake, you will probably be able to pierce Longfu's body, which is so strong that even the Fairy Sword cannot damage it.

However, Queen Gros shook her head and said: "Your Majesty the King, I did find a sword in the tomb, but it was a broken sword."

"Broken sword?" Luo Fu was a little stunned. He thought for a while and hesitated: "Is it the sword in the stone?"

The so-called Sword in the Stone, as the name suggests, is a sword inserted in a stone.

In ancient legends, it appeared out of thin air in front of a church and was inserted into a square stone with gold characters written around it:

"Whoever can pull this sword out of the stone platform is the King of Britain!"

Everyone tried to pull out the sword in the stone, but in the end only young Arthur pulled out the sword in the stone and became king.

However, the sword in the stone was not a very strong weapon. During the battle between King Arthur and King Bolinor, it was cut off by the goblin sword in the opponent's hand.

Therefore, even the legendary Sword in the Stone and Potian are nothing more than a broken sword, not even as tough as the Fairy Sword, and obviously cannot help Luo Fu kill Dragon Scourge.

He was a little disappointed and said: "Where did the sword in the lake go?"

"According to the records in the books in the Tower of Babel." Queen Gros looked up at the deep sky. Under the dazzling sunlight, she reached out to cover her forehead and said slowly:

"Before his death, King Arthur threw the sword in the lake back into the lake where he got it."

"So, the Sword in the Lake is still in the lake." The ponytail girl helped Luo Fu and asked: "Where in Avalon is the lake?"

"Guess what." Queen Gros smiled slightly, "I just gave you a hint."

When Shirley and Nellie heard this, they both fell into deep thought.

Luofu didn't think about it, because when he heard the word lake, for some reason, his mind always lingered on the sea. When he heard the song of Scylla, the three mermaid sisters, the mother of dragons,

The cave where consciousness arrives.

In that cave, he saw a misty lake and Scylla sitting naked in the middle of the lake.

Luofu suddenly remembered what Queen Gros had just said to them:

"Around that tree, there are many powerful magical creatures living nearby, especially Dragon Bane and Scylla. It is dangerous to approach it without permission.

However, each new generation of kings can safely approach the tree after killing the dragon, but when they come back, they will not mention what they saw next to the tree..."

Luo Fei suddenly thought and blurted out:

"The Sword in the Lake is in the lake where the mermaid Scylla lives."

"That's right." Queen Gros looked appreciatively and looked at Rolf carefully. She called the boy by his name for the first time and said:

"Scamander, you are really smart. That sword is indeed hidden in the lake where Scylla lives."

"So, the wizards who have killed dragons in the past generations, after becoming the new king of Avalon, will personally go to the lake to find the legendary sword in the lake."

"Then have they found it?" Nelisi asked curiously.

"Since King Arthur, all the kings have failed, except..."

Queen Gros paused for a while and said in a deep voice:

"Salazar Slytherin!"
