Chapter 9
【Seeing you refuse him, Lin Ye turned and left dashingly. Looking at the other party's back, you were thoughtful but also quickly left this place.
You returned to Kay's side and handed the Sword in the Stone in your hand to Kay. However, Sir Ector beside Kay was very excited. He didn't care about the Knight Assembly that was about to start, but instead took you back to the church.
And at this moment, the knights of the whole city also heard the news and rushed over.
Under everyone's gaze, you inserted the sword back into the rock and then pulled it out again.
At this moment, no one in the audience doubted you anymore. They shouted "King of Britain" and then one after another performed the knight's salute to you.】
What?
Artoria saw this, and she hurriedly looked around. Sure enough, the crowd of people who had just gathered here didn't know when they had all run outside. While running, they were still shouting:
"The Sword in the Stone has been pulled out! The King of Great Britain has appeared!"
Listening to this sound, Artoria immediately took advantage of the chaos and ran outside. She still didn't think a sword could decide the King of Great Britain; this was simply too absurd.
She soon arrived at the side of Sir Ector and Kay!
"Kay, Father, I brought the sword."
Artoria brought the Sword in the Stone directly to Kay's side. She just wanted to speak, but Sir Ector stared fixedly at the sword in her hand. At this moment, Artoria instantly felt that the situation was wrong.
"This sword is... Follow me!"
Sir Ector's expression changed drastically. He didn't care about anything else and took Kay and Artoria directly to the church. Artoria looked around, and sure enough, the originally spacious church was now packed!
Moreover, these people actually retreated half a step in unison when they saw them appear, directly clearing a path to the stone platform for them.
"This... could this be true!"
Artoria was shocked. No matter how slow her reaction was, she knew the situation was wrong now. And at this moment, Sir Ector had already taken Artoria to the side of the stone platform. He pointed to the stone platform in front of him and said:
"Alright, Lia, the stone is here, the sword is in your hand. Insert the sword and pull it out again. No matter what, I am proud of you."
"This... alright, Father."
Artoria silently inserted the sword in her hand into the stone. Before she could pull it, the knights on the side all swarmed up, wanting to pull the sword out in advance.
"Move aside! Let me go first! This sword belongs to me!"
"Why! Don't you understand what 'first come, first served' means!"
"The King of England should be me!"
Looking at these red-eyed knights, Artoria retreated half a step. Unfortunately, even though Artoria didn't intervene, these knights, including Kay, couldn't pull the sword out even a little bit!
Seeing this, Artoria had completely believed in this Life Simulation System.
"This isn't life simulation; this is simply predicting the future! What is this? Magic?"
Artoria remembered her teacher who appeared and disappeared unpredictably. She must ask him when she saw him next time.
Thinking of this, Artoria also silently stepped forward and said:
"Let me do it."
Seeing Artoria speak, those knights who had failed just now all cleared the way. Artoria stepped forward. She just silently grasped the hilt of the sword, and then with a force, the Sword in the Stone was easily pulled out by her!
At this moment, the whole audience was silent! After Artoria looked around, she then said:
"Now, does anyone else want to try?"
The King of Britain! Born!
(PS: Mentioning, the time flow in the Fate/Zero world is different from the time flow in the Great Britain era, so don't be surprised why the time on Artoria's side is different from the time on Lin Ye's side.)
