Zongman: Beginning with the Blade of Demon Slayer/A Zongman Beginning with the Blade of Demon Slayer

"Could it be that this guy Kai has noticed my hint?"

Merlin was a little excited. Although he didn't know why Kai would give up the easy-to-get throne, but if Arturia could accept the king's sword, then his plan could develop according to its original appearance.

Although it's a pity that Arturia didn't pull it out herself, it may seem that the name is not right...

"No, this is the sword drawn by Brother Kai."

After serious consideration, Arturia resolutely gave the answer of rejection: "And this is not a pure gift, but a symbol of the King of Britain, so I cannot accept it."

That's right, Arturia did feel that she had a certain fate with this king-choosing sword... she even had a feeling that she was destined to meet this sword.But this sword was pulled out by Brother Kai, so it should belong to Brother Kai.

"Slow, wait, don't refuse so decisively? There is still a way. This is a chance to become the king of Britain."

After hearing Arturia's refusal, the old Merlin persuaded him in a panic, and even said aloud: "If you think it's worthless if you didn't pull it out by yourself, then let's put the sword back into the stone and pull it out again, okay?" good."

"...Is it?"

Fang Shuo looked at the old thief Meilin speechlessly, and didn't bother to pay attention.He looked at the sword in the stone in his hand, and he had the impression that Artoria's failure to develop normally was because of the king-chosen sword. In other words, this sword did not hurt Artoria badly.

Since Arturia refused, then this flashy and tricky King's Selection Sword is useless.

He held the hilt of the Sword in the Stone, and put it in front of him as if looking at it carefully. His left hand gently brushed over the gorgeous blade, and then grabbed the sharp blade of the Sword in the Stone.

Just when everyone didn't know what he was going to do, it was like breaking a piece of broken ice, just hearing a "click", the luxurious King's Selection Sword made a crisp sound, and the blade broke and became a useless waste iron.

[Achievement: Treasure Breaker (accomplished), reward [-] achievement points! 】

After Fang Shuo destroyed the Sword in the Stone, he was reminded of a new achievement. This surprised him a bit. He didn't expect that the King's Choice Sword would have such final value.

And this scene stunned all the knights and people watching.And Merlin, who was continuing to bewitch Artoria, also turned his head, looked at the King's Choice Sword that was broken in two, and opened his mouth wide, completely speechless.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

After completing the achievement, Fang Shuo looked at the old thief Meilin beside him, showing a malicious expression.

The achievement of the treasure destroyer must have a follow-up, maybe destroying a few more treasures can get more rewards.And the Merlin old thief in front of him must have hidden a lot of good things.

For the Sword of King Selection alone, Merlin must have rubbed several swords, and he can be called a wholesaler of treasures.In the legend of King Arthur, Merlin is like a rescue tool man, constantly wholesales all kinds of holy swords to the knights, God knows how rich this half-nightmare's family is.

In addition to the Sword of the King's Choice, it is said that the knight Gaharad has a ruby ​​sword that was also given by Merlin, and he once again played the trick of inserting it into the Stone of Destiny for other knights to try. This old man is very bad.

Merlin shivered. Originally, he planned to complain about the broken sword of King Xuan, but now he was stared at by Fang Shuo with dangerous eyes, which made him make a wise decision—run as far as possible. .

Originally thought that this time Arturia would continue to pull out the sword of choosing the king according to his plan, and inherit the throne...but now his years of hard work are in vain.

After all, the king election ceremony has become so troublesome, there is no way to continue it, it is better to slip away quickly, so as not to be beaten again by Kai.

"Ahem, I remembered that I still have an appointment, so let's say goodbye first."

After Merlin finished speaking, he regained his courage and used illusion to cover his retreat. Before leaving, he did not forget to take away the broken King's Sword and the Stone of Destiny lying on the ground.

"Tch, a guy who hides his head and shows his tail."

Fang Shuo saw that Merlin turned into a pile of petals and scattered away, and he didn't bother to pay any attention to it, so he simply took Artoria back to Knight Hector's house together.

Anyway, there are still many opportunities to meet this half-nightmare magician in the future, and it's not too late to teach this guy a lesson.

When he passed by the knights, many knights were looking at him with jealousy and hatred, but none of them dared to block Fang Shuo's way.

Just kidding, even the magician Merlin has no temper with him, wouldn't he be courting death if he dared to block his way?

However, after returning to Sir Hector's home, the two found that Sir Hector had something to go out and was not in his fief.

"Artoria, do you really want to give up becoming king? You have been working hard for this all along."

After the two sat down, Fang Shuo asked Artoria.In the eyes of others, Artoria is just an apprentice knight, but Fang Shuo knows that Arturia was raised as the future King of Britain after birth, and he also knows how much effort she has put in for this.

Artoria was also slightly taken aback when she heard Fang Shuo's question.

"Indeed... I have also thought about whether I was a bit hasty in giving up..."

After thinking carefully, Arturia replied like this.

Her origins are both complex and idiosyncratic.

Why spend your days pretending to be a man.Why do you have to start learning swords, studying state affairs, and abandoning your self-feelings as a human being when you are sensible.

of course.

It's all about saving Britain.She was born in order to pull out the king's sword.

She didn't know what the real parents looked like.

Kings and magicians have the purpose of "an ideal king", and what was designed and born for that purpose is themselves.

In fact, she couldn't empathize with the remorse or wish of her late father.I don't feel a special sense of mission or moved by the teachings of magicians.

In the past 15 years, the only things that have kept her motivated are the ordinary days with her adoptive father Actor and foster brother Kai, as well as the noises of the people living in the town.

In a sense, she was born just for the moment when she drew out the holy sword, so it is a bit unrealistic to ask her to immediately give up the only meaning since she was born.

But at the same time, she was also afraid of this mission.

Of course, as a young girl, how could she not be afraid of such a mission?

The person who pulls the sword out of the rock---there is someone who is more suitable to be the king of the promise than himself. If that person, shouldn't he be able to build a more peaceful country? Such a fear.

However, there was no such person before, and I thought it would not appear in another ten years.During that time someone has to take on this obligation.

Draw your sword and be someone else.

Everything that was feared until now is a thing of the past.

This is the ritual of killing oneself.

If you have human hearts, you cannot protect everyone with a king.

The so-called king is the existence that kills the most people in order to protect the people.

As a young girl, she thought about that every night and trembled until dawn.She never went a day without fear.

It is different from longing or love.

It's just that such a thing seems to be a good thing in her eyes.

She didn't want to be a part of the town's festive residents, or take part in it, at first, she didn't have that desire.Even though she sometimes pictured that scene in her head, she calmly closed the lid.

It was because she knew from the bottom of her heart that if she did that, she would lose everything.

Since she was a child, although she was not smart, she was very hardworking, so she told herself that she couldn't do that alone.

However, all these fears ended with what Fang Shuo did today.

Fang Shuo allowed him to see Kai who was different from before. The current Kai seems to be able to cope with all challenges, even if he shoulders the important task of saving Britain.

The existence of Brother Kai made the stone in Artoria's heart completely fall to the ground.She understands that she has been liberated from the fate of being an unpopular king with a holy sword in her hand and bearing everything. The girl no longer needs to erase the "human emotions" contained in herself time and time again in her heart.

To be honest, the moment Fang Shuo snapped off the King's Sword, Arturia felt not only surprise, but also an unprecedented sense of liberation.

Those things that she thought would be abandoned by her can finally be gradually picked up now.The fate of the Knight King Artoria has been liberated, and she may be an ordinary knight, or an ordinary girl...

"Really. It's just a bad mouth. ...Thank you, Brother Kai."

"Ok?"

"It's nothing, brother Kai, but I believe you can become a king who is much better than me..."

Arturia showed Fang Shuo a lily-like smile, which made Fang Shuo curl his lips, ashamed to tell Artoria that he had no interest in being the king of this British island country.

However, after he finished pulling out the King's Sword, there were a few new tasks.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Now these tasks popped up by the system were all there at the moment Fang Shuo pulled out the sword of choosing the king, but he didn't have time to check them one by one at that time. Now when he opened the panel, he found a lot of tasks. The event task is "Ideal King - Completely Unify Britain".

The names of the achievement missions below Completely Unified Britain are very long, and they all have the same prefix as "King of Ideals".

Special Event Mission: The White Dragon of Britain - Kill King Vortigern.

Special event task: Bai Ya's Covenant - Formation of the Knights of the Round Table.

Special Event Quest: Knight of the Holy Grail - Find and claim the Holy Grail.

Special Event Mission: Attack on the Bear - Kill Roman Sword Emperor Lucius

Obviously, this is a series of tasks, the ultimate goal is to help Britain, and these are the tasks that the original King Arthur should complete.

These tasks were troublesome for Fang Shuo - it wasn't that there were any difficult enemies to deal with, but the conditions that could not be fulfilled now.

According to legend, the Holy Grail was found by the innocent knight Gaharad and the knight Percival. There are many different theories about how they found the Holy Grail. The most nonsensical one is that Percival found it after a long time. Discovered that the Holy Grail was my uncle's collection...

Obviously, this is not possible in Xingyue World, because the Holy Grail has the characteristic of "going up to heaven after touching it", so it is probably still hidden in an unknown corner, maybe only the old thief Merlin knows the specific location.

And finding the knights of the round table is not easy. Although the achievement does not say whether the knights of the round table are still the same members as in the original history, it is not realistic to find a few cats and dogs to be knights of the round table.The current Knights of the Round Table are scattered all over the UK, some of them are in France across the ocean, and some were not born at all!

The same is true for killing Lucius, the sword emperor of Rome. Although Lucius is not a strong enemy, he is nested in the Roman Empire across the ocean, and there are still a lot of things to do in Britain. To kill him, it can only be said that the time has not yet come.

The only one that is expected to be completed in the near future is to slay the white dragon of Britain, the humble king Vortigern.

The humble king Vortigern is also not weak, he can swallow the brilliance of the holy sword, and he will not fall behind in the face of multiple knights of the round table.Even the predecessor of King Arthur, the former king Uther was defeated by the humble king Vortigern.According to the rumors, the humble king Vortigern is the embodiment of some kind of great will, so even the strongest human beings can't compete.

But for Fang Shuo, Vitigeng's life was reserved until he knew Vitigeng's location.

He intends to find out the location of King Vortigern as soon as possible, and at the same time, he also wants to find out the location of several members of the Knights of the Round Table who have already started their activities.

While he was planning for the future in his room, Arturia ran into the room excitedly: "Brother Kai, it's time to eat, come here quickly!"

"Well, I see."

Fang Shuo nodded, and followed Artoria to the dining table.

The dinner was still as rough as before, and it was still a large piece of cut meat that was placed directly on the table without a dinner plate.The only thing worth mentioning is that these meats are all from the monsters hunted by Artoria herself. None of the servants in Hector's family dared to taste them. Only Artoria wiped out the food on the table at an alarming rate. .

"I'm done, uh..."

After finishing dinner, she realized that she seemed to have eaten too much, and Artoria, who forgot to save some for Brother Kai, blushed slightly. Although Fang Shuo didn't seem to care about it at all, she still coughed lightly and asked Said: "Brother Kai, can you still teach me swordsmanship at night?"

"Of course it's okay... Let me show you a different kind of swordsmanship."

Fang Shuoyi looked at Arturia eating like a lion kindly, and smiled after hearing the other party's request, intending to teach Artoria some different skills.

"Different swordplay...?"

Arturia was a little confused. As a trainee knight, she had little communication with other knights. Although she had a solid foundation under the guidance of Merlin's old thief, she didn't know much about the schools of swordsmanship.

"That's right, Arturia, you have a better starting point than anyone else, but you can't rely too much on it."

Fang Shuo nodded, and took Artoria to the training field outside at night, and prepared to demonstrate for Artoria with a long training sword under the light of the bonfire.

Artoria has the heart of a red dragon, and she is born with a huge amount of magic power, and at the same time has an intuition beyond ordinary people.Under the cultivation of Merlin, the British sword sage, her swordsmanship has entered the "God's Domain", which can be said to be a first-class swordsmanship level.

But it's not enough, considering her background, this level can only be said to be unsatisfactory.

She is weaker than Lancelot, who is unparalleled in the era, at the level of single-round swordsmanship, and she may not be stronger than Lucius, the Roman sword emperor across the sea.And Lucius didn't mention that Lancelot has the blood and intuition of the red dragon, and he can only be honed with a mortal body.

The current Artoria does not have a holy sword, and if she encounters a master whose swordsmanship realm is far stronger than hers, the advantage of magic power may not be able to be brought into play.

Therefore, Fang Shuo demonstrated a different kind of swordsmanship to Artoria with the sword. Although it was still a British-style sword, it was a sword style that Artoria had never seen before.

flexible!Quick!The sword light intertwined like snow, and the sword skill Fang Shuo demonstrated was an oriental sword skill that had never been born on the entire British island.

"That's amazing...! Does Brother Kai still have such sword skills?"

Arturia was surprised, she couldn't help but simulate in her mind how she would deal with such a sword technique, but the result was not easy to be optimistic.

"Artoria, come and experience it for yourself... the swordsmanship from a distant foreign land!"

Fang Shuo smiled and threw a practice sword to Artoria, who took it calmly.Although a little surprised, Artoria still confidently learned from Fang Shuo this kind of swordsmanship that was different from Britain.

During the practice several times in a row, Artoria was quickly defeated by Fang Shuo with this wonderful sword technique, but as the number of times increased, she also gradually mastered some of the rules of this sword technique, and began to be able to outperform. Block and parry.

It's just that practicing this kind of swordsmanship is very energy-consuming, even if she is almost a perpetual motion machine, she is a little tired after hours.
