Chapter 129 Disputes among the Five Kings (Part 1)
Arthur looked at the surrounding knights.
What's going on? This doesn't look good ------
"It's all your fault that it's like this, Leon Dickens." Grand Duke Hall, the celestial knight of the Southern Sky Knights, said.
"Really? I think it's quite interesting. Everyone has a chance, didn't I say that before?" Leon Dickens said with a smile.
"Let's not hold anyone responsible for now. Now we have to reach a consensus." Grand Duke Younes said, "There is no precedent for this kind of thing in history. What should we do?"
The four celestial knights murmured to each other, none of which Arthur could understand.
"He's just a civilian!"
"But he drew the sword."
"That's not in line with the rules!"
"Rules are rubbish! It's unclear whether such an ancient rule is still reasonable or not!"
"But I don't even know if he broke through the warrior's grave!"
"That sword might be a forgery!"
"Idiot! This also needs to be questioned?"
Grand Duke Lyon Dickens turned to Arthur and said: "Boy, put the sword in the ground and let them try to draw it."
"But---"
"Don't worry about it and just do as you're told!"
Arthur reluctantly stuck the holy sword on the ground.
"I'll come first," said Grand Duke Palinloer.
One after another, the celestial knights came to draw their swords. No one was able to draw them.
Then they looked at Arthur with strange eyes.
"This kid is so thin that he will fall down if the wind blows! How could it happen? Is there some kind of blind trick used?"
"He used a 'blind eye' method to swing his sword throughout the fight? Are you an idiot? It's not like you haven't fought with him before. What tricks can he do in front of you?"
"But, but this is unscientific------!"
"Well," Arthur finally couldn't help it anymore and asked, "What's going on? What are you discussing?!"
"Boy, do you know what [Encounter of Four] is?" Grand Duke Palinlor asked.
Arthur shook his head.
"[The Battle of the Four Kings] is a duel to select the true [King] from the previous Celestial Knights." Grand Duke Younes said, "The sword in your hand is only qualified to be owned by the Celestial Knights. Use it."
Come and choose the ancient weapons of the true [King] of Pantoraken."
"Originally, only the highest-ranking celestial knight in the Knights' Order is qualified to enter the warrior's grave to retrieve the sword." Grand Duke Hall said.
"But it has been two thousand years. During this period, no celestial knight has ever been able to successfully pull out the Holy Sword." Grand Duke Lyon Dickens said sarcastically.
"Now it's been pulled out by a civilian boy. Do you know what this means?" Palinloer asked.
"Um, I don't know?" Arthur asked tentatively.
"Huh huh huh. The celestial knight who originally drew his sword is going to duel with the other three celestial knights," Leon Dickens sneered, "If we lose to someone else, we will exchange the ownership of the holy sword.
Then the new owner of the holy sword will have a rematch with the other three heavenly knights, and this cycle continues."
"Until we defeat the other three heavenly knights and choose the real [king]." Grand Duke Younes said.
"But now you, a commoner, have come to join in the fight." Grand Duke Hall said, "I have to include you, and the five of us will come to carry out the [Battle of the Four Kings]."
"Is this a joke?" Arthur was at a loss for a moment.
"This is serious." Grand Duke Lyon Dickens approached Arthur and said, "Boy, from today on, I will also become your opponent. I will not be soft during the duel. Everyone has a chance to become a king, no?"
?"
"I don't want to be a king. I quit." Arthur said.
"You have no right to withdraw!" the heavenly knights shouted together, "you want to run away after taking the holy sword!?"
"Uh!" Arthur was shocked by the momentum of the heavenly knights for a moment.
"Let's draw lots to decide the order of the duel with this guy," Palinloer said.
"Is this fair? Palin always has the best luck in drawing lots." The Grand Duke of Lyon Dickens protested on the side.
"It's so noisy! I don't know how bad your luck in drawing lots will be!"
five minutes later.
"Am I the first? Unlucky," Heavenly Knight Leon Dickens said.
"I am third." Grand Duke Hall said.
"2." Grand Duke Younes said, "Sure enough, Palin's luck in drawing lots is the best."
"Is it the best? No," Heavenly Knight Palin Lohr said, "I originally wanted to be the first to appear. I would teach this arrogant boy a lesson in the first game."
"Then you have backfired." Grand Duke Lyon Dickens said, "Anyway, he will be defeated before he confronts you."
"Uh," Arthur couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you still fighting a civil war?"
"If we don't fight, we'll be in trouble!" Celestial Knight Palinlor said, "The Parliament is just an agent when the king is away. Now that the king is about to make a decision, the power of the Parliament has been frozen."
"You should be proud, right?" Younes looked at Arthur and smiled mischievously, "No matter what the result is, you finally prevented the civil war!"
"The [Four Kings...[Battle of Five Kings]] will be held in a week. In the meantime, everyone should be prepared." Celestial Knight Leon Dickens said.
