"Lord Apostle!" "Lord Gabriel!" "Lord the Saint in the Stone!"
Before Arthur could say anything, the group of people shouted almost in unison, and each had their own name, as if they had different beliefs from different religions around the world, but they had the same object of worship.
"You must be kidding me..." the King of Knights couldn't help but muttered. Of course, his muttering voice was so low that only the people around him could hear it, and there was no one else beside him except Joey.
.
Hearing Arthur's remarks, Joey next to him moved his eyes intelligently, but did not express any opinion.
At that time, Arthur was already very annoyed, but now he was a guest of the Meyerson Brotherhood, and he was still seeking help from the Brotherhood. He had no choice but to sit down at the extra-long dining table with the group of scholars and businessmen.
The officials ate together.
The following dinner time was simply torturous. Arthur himself was the King of Great Britain (nine hundred years ago). As a king, he did need to attend various public occasions from time to time. He should be able to handle such dinners with ease. However, as a king, he attended
The banquet is completely different from attending the banquet in his current special status. He is not being treated as the king of a country, but as an idol worshiped by some religion, or as a messenger of God.
Appeared here. So when the members of the Melson Brotherhood began to ask all kinds of irrelevant religious questions, King Arthur couldn't help but feel a lot of pressure.
What's more, the Meyerson Brotherhood is an organization composed of people of multiple faiths (even atheists) and a mixture of forces. These people believe in different gods, so how can they be related to a certain religion?
Reach a consensus on the issue?
"Does God really exist?" "What does God look like?" "Where does the Saint come from?" "When the Saint comes to the mortal world, does he have any special mission to complete?"
A lot of questions were asked one after another. Arthur didn't want to answer them.
But Arthur, who was listening to these people asking questions while eating, knew that these people would not shut up unless they said something. So he put down the knife and fork in his hand and suddenly said:
"Listen. I know you have countless questions, and I can't answer them all. So, let me just tell you what I know. It's up to you to decide whether it's right or wrong.
First of all, there is indeed a God in your world.
What he looks like, I can't say.
What abilities he has, I can't say.
What he plans to do, I cannot say.
There are also devils in this world - devils are vicious, cunning, and eager to prove how correct their opinions are.
As far as I know, this world is an ongoing gamble between gods and demons.
The devil believes that human nature is evil, greedy, and irredeemable. He made a bet with God, saying that God's creations are not so perfect and they must be destroyed.
As long as people are given free will, they will fall into darkness - even if they are born good and are taught to always follow the path of good.
God believes that there are truly good people in the world. No matter how influenced by the outside world, these people can ultimately control themselves. Even at the last moment of their lives, these people can still persist in their goodness.
.
Whether people with free will are good or evil needs experiments to prove.
In order to prove the devil wrong, God allowed this gamble to exist.
Our world will gradually move from prosperity to destruction.
Until the last moment before the destruction of the world, the devil will use various means to seduce, deceive, and corrupt people;
But God does nothing and can do nothing. The condition for starting this 'fair' gamble is precisely [God cannot use his power to interfere with people who have free will].
Everyone here, before the final moment arrives, you may be faced with a choice. ------ Should you always maintain your conscience and choose the right path of goodness? Or, driven by various coercion and inducements, in order to survive, you will become a demon.
?
The choice is always in your hands, and not even God has the right to interfere.
And your choice will affect the outcome of this gamble.
Your choice may allow the devil to achieve final victory, allowing the devil to prove to God that human nature is so evil and greedy and so irredeemable.
So, when the appointed time comes, how will you choose?
"
As a result, those people fell into silence and stopped asking questions. It was not that they had no more questions to ask Arthur, it was just because the biggest question left by Arthur made them fall into deep thought.
After finishing speaking, Arthur also finished his dinner and stood up from the table: "Ladies and gentlemen, I'll excuse you. I wish you a pleasant evening."
He strode out of the dining hall without even looking back. It was best to leave those people thinking where they were, Arthur thought.
"What a wonderful speech." As Arthur walked in front, Joey followed behind.
"I just made it up casually to stop them annoying me." Arthur said. Although everything he said was very similar to the previous expressions of the mysterious old man J. Of course, there were also some added jealousies.
, in order to make those descriptions more dramatic, to be able to shout at the Meyerson Brotherhood group.
"Really? That's not bad." Joey didn't express any opinion, but replied casually: "Master Aslan, do you want to take a bath and change clothes after the meal? Or go find some fun? Whether it is a bathhouse or a recreational facility, this base
They are all there, I can lead the way."
"That kind of thing is unnecessary." Arthur turned his head and rolled his eyes at Joey, "It would be more reliable if you took me to get some weapons. I know you can't open your treasure house without a key, but apart from the treasure house
Besides, there must be other ways to obtain a few weapons, right?"
"Of course there are ordinary weapons, the warehouses are just more valuable treasures." Joey said, "Please come with me, Lord Aslan. The armory is over here."
After finishing speaking, Joey ran to the front in a few small steps and turned right at the end of the corridor in front. Arthur was actually walking very fast at that time. He was anxious to escape from the group of people in the fraternity who kept asking him questions, so he walked
It was too fast. I didn’t expect that this child Joey Zuster would be more agile and agile than the current Arthur, and he could surpass Arthur so easily.
"Humph." Although he was a little unhappy, Arthur still chased after him silently.
The Brotherhood's base built inside a hollowed-out mountain cliff is actually not particularly large. If it were too large, it would not be able to achieve its concealment purpose. Moreover, the Meyerson Brotherhood is essentially a group of scholars, and they are not combatants.
, the armory in this base is certainly not as large as a regular military base.
In fact, this small room, which is less than thirty feet square and is illuminated by a dozen oil lamps, probably stores no more than a hundred weapons. The scraps of metal do not count, but they are indeed weapons that are not enchanted at all.
For iron, the workmanship is not even considered exquisite.
The civilization of light in this world is very backward. People still use the most primitive forges to forge iron ingots into weapons, and there is no additional process of strengthening the weapons. While Arthur was thinking this, he already picked up one in his hand.
It is a dagger that is slightly rough and the blade is not fully sharpened. Its power cannot be complimented. It is estimated that if the armor on the opposite side is slightly thicker, the dagger will not be able to cut it.
"Lord Aslan?" Joey looked at Arthur in a daze and asked curiously.
"Well...that won't work. It can be used to block the opponent's attack. It's impossible to use it to kill the enemy."
"Master Aslan, maybe you can try a heavier weapon?" the child asked again, innocently.
"Well, Joey, if you think that I am some kind of saint with innate divine power, you will definitely be disappointed." Arthur smiled lightly: "This is basically the only weapon that this weak body can carry and wield freely.
A short sword."
The handsome blond boy raised his eyebrows in confusion: "But Lord Aslan, didn't you defeat the True Ancestor back then...? The Seventh True Ancestor Van Demian?"
"That is the power of the Holy Sword [Seraph]. It is a [holy] power dedicated to killing demons." Arthur explained, "I don't know if your grandfather has ever described the details of the battle to you and your father. Anyway, that
This sword is very special and cannot be wielded by relying on brute force."
"Is that so?" Joey was even more shocked: "However, when grandpa tried to recover the holy sword, he said that the sword was too heavy to move. Later, he relied on some people in the Brotherhood who could use sealing techniques.
I sealed the divine power of the holy sword and reluctantly brought it back to the Brotherhood base."
"Oh. I don't find it strange at all." King Arthur replied calmly.
Of course. If the holy sword [Sword of Seraph] given to Arthur by the mysterious old man J has the same structural principles as Arthur's original [Sword of King], then it uses special technology to convert photons from another world.
[Borrow] came into this world.
The massive amount of photons pouring out from the sword will firmly lock the sword in its original space, making it so "heavy" that it is almost impossible to move it. Only people like Arthur with special powers and special physiques can lift it.
That kind of special weapon. In fact, why Arthur can hold his King's Sword has been a mystery that has not been fully explained since a long time ago.
Merlin did tell Arthur that because Arthur is a [Demonless One], there is a photon vacuum area around his body. This vacuum area will offset the effect of the holy sword, allowing the holy sword that should be locked in space to be
Move. But this statement itself brings another mystery: How did the photon vacuum area around Arthur's body come from?
Not to mention these. The King of Knights sighed, put down the dagger, and turned to pick another weapon. If the attack power of this crude dagger cannot be expected, then Arthur can only rely on
Use other equipment to make up for it and add tactical means to yourself.
A good shield is very necessary. With the shield to deflect the opponent's attack, Arthur can pick up the weak dagger, take the opportunity to counterattack, and even hit the enemy's vital parts with a killing blow.
The King of Knights moved his eyes to a small rusty shield in the corner of the armory.
