Gate of the Cross

Chapter 210 The Legend of King Arthur

After Xinjie saw the tomb suspected to be Ashaf and Yeka in the suburbs of Ghana Village, Saber and Rin Tosaka were very surprised, and he simply fainted.

Saber and Rin Tosaka hurriedly sent him back to the village. When the village head heard the news, he was also very enthusiastic about sending the village doctor to diagnose Xinjie, but the diagnosis was normal.

When Xinjie woke up, it was already night and did not feel any discomfort. But when he asked the village head about the origin of the tomb, the village head simply said that the lonely grave had existed a long time ago and had never been taken care of in the village for decades. As for the stone tablet, it has only appeared in recent years. But what disappointed Xinjie was that the village head did not think it was a big deal, so he never studied this matter. Naturally, he did not know who erected the stone tablet.

He doesn't even know who Yeka and Ashafu are.

The head of a village is still like this, and Xinjie doesn't expect to get anything from the rest of the village. Xinjie couldn't help but feel sad when he thought that Yeka and Ashaf led the rebels to fight for the freedom of this country in four thousand years, but today the descendants of this country don't even know their names.

After telling Saber and Rin Tosaka not to worry about themselves, Xinjie came out alone and wanted to be quiet.

But he came out, but Xinjie found that he couldn't calm down at all.

The tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop, and people want to be quiet but the heart doesn't stop.

Xinjie now understands the meaning of this sentence. He is upset and can't calm down.

"Xinjie."

Aprisingly, Xinjie raised his head and saw a familiar face.

Saber?"

"It's me."

Saber said and sat directly next to Xinjie, "Rin and I are worried about you. Are you all right?"

Xinjie shook his head, "Thank you, Saber, but I'm fine."

After saying this, he was silent, because he didn't know what to say if he continued.

"Xinjie, do you know Arthur?"

After a moment of silence, Saber suddenly opened his mouth stunned Xinjie. He didn't expect that she would take the initiative to open his mouth, let alone that she would ask this question.

"Arthur? You mean... King Arthur in British history?"

"That's right, it's her."

At this time, Xinjie's eyes floated to the couple not far from them, and he didn't know what the man said to the woman, which made the woman giggle and beat the man with his fists. And the man also seemed to enjoy the process very much. The two of them were happy and looked very happy.

King Arthur known to Xinjie is the most legendary great king in medieval Britain. People know more about him from myths, legends and medieval literature, and no one has dabbled in King Arthur's real life. It is said that he is the leader of the Knights of the Round Table, an almost mythical legend.

Legend has it that Arthur is the son of Egley, the wife of the former king Uther and the Duke of Cornwall. With the help of the magician Merlin, Yuther became the Duke of Cornwall and entered the castle where Igram was located and spent the night with her, and then she became pregnant with Arthur. After the death of the Duke of Cornwall, Igram married King Uther and gave birth to the child.

When Arthur was born and entrusted to the magician Merlin, Merlin secretly took the baby Arthur away from Tintagel Castle and came to a secret place to raise Arthur.

Later, King Yusser passed away and the domestic situation began to be turbulent. The bishop followed Merlin's advice and summoned all the noble knights to select a new king with a "sword in stone" inserted in the stone of the church cemetery. The sword has such an inscription: "The one who pulls out the sword in this stone is the king of Britain." However, no one can pull the sword from the rock. Since there was no better way, the knights unanimously decided to choose the king through the competition.

Arthur also went and easily pulled out the sword in the stone, which shocked everyone. Everyone inserted the sword back into the stone suspiciously, but even if it was repeated many times, no one could pull it out except Arthur.

At the beginning of Arthur's reign, the young king showed a strong dependence on Merlin. Britain ushered in unprecedented unity and strength. He helped the weak and built a prosperous kingdom.

Since the first century AD, Britain has been under the oppression of the Roman Empire for a long time. Later, the Saxons, as a Germanic, invaded, burned and looted. King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table led the British people to resist and finally successfully repelled the Saxon invasion from the north through twelve battles. Finally, in the battle of Mount Barton, he defeated the enemy and expelled all foreign invaders from Britain.

After that, King Arthur's interest began to shift to finding the legendary treasure. His knights either ordered or voluntarily left the capital Carmelo one after another to find the legendary Holy Grail, and most of them went back. In this way, there were fewer and fewer knights on the round table, and the powerful empire began to decline.

Soon, the affair between Lancelot, the excellent knight of King Arthur, and the beautiful Queen Ganivell was exposed. Legend has it that Lancelot was raised by fairies in the lake, so he was also known as the "lake knight". King Arthur trusted Lancelot, and he became the bodyguard responsible for protecting the Queen's safety and reputation.

So King Arthur was very angry when he learned that Lancelot had an affair with Guinevere. Lancelot's behavior has aroused the dissatisfaction of many knights, so Aguewen and Modred led 13 knights to sneak into the queen's palace and arrested the two people who were meeting. Lancelot struggled to escape from the siege, and Guinevere was burned by King Arthur. However, Lancelot and his comrades-in-arms, who were deeply in love with the queen, raided the execution ground and robbed Guinivia, and the two fled across the sea to France.

Although after the mediation of the Pope and forced the honor of the knight, Lancelot returned Guineville, the story did not end here. Another famous round table knight, King Arthur's nephew, Gao Wen, his brother was killed by Lancelot when he prevented Lancelot from robbing Guineve, so he resented Lancelot. In the end, King Arthur, who was worried about the humiliation of the queen's abduction, decided to go to France.

This expedition gave Modredd a good opportunity to usurp the throne. King Arthur, who personally conquered France, left Gao Wen and his nephew Modred to manage the kingdom. Modred realized that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so he spread rumors throughout the city that the king had died in battle and wanted to marry Ganiel. After hearing the news, King Arthur hurried back to Britain, which confirmed that a bloody war broke out.

The armies of both sides are both defeated. King Arthur finally killed Modred with a long gun, and he was fatally hit by Modred. Most of the Knights of the Round Table died, and Arthur also died.

In this fight, everyone is a loser. After this fight, the legend of King Arthur came to an end.
