Chapter 4444 Chapter 4446 [King Arthur’s Treasure]
Xiang Nan then came to England, preparing to search for King Arthur's treasure.
Legend has it that King Arthur is a legendary hero in ancient Britain. He pulled out the sword in the stone that could rule Britain. Then, with the assistance of the great wizard Merlin, he led the Knights of the Round Table to conquer the north and south, and conquered the east and west.
Not only did he drive away the Roman colonists and Saxon invasions and unified Britain, he even invaded Europe and defeated the powerful Roman Emperor Lucius.
Afterwards, King Arthur, who was satisfied with his success and became famous, began to search for the legendary artifact-the Holy Grail.
This is a sacred object of Christianity. It is said that drinking the water in the Holy Grail can not only bring the dead back to life, but also make you immortal. It is a very precious sacred object.
In the end, the Holy Grail was found by Galahad, one of the Knights of the Round Table, who helped King Arthur realize his wish.
But King Arthur also suffered betrayal from his subordinates. Not only was his wife Guinevere pried away by Lancelot, but he himself was stabbed in the back by his illegitimate son and nephew Mordred, and eventually lost his life. The Kingdom of Britain founded by him It also fell apart.
It is said that after King Arthur died, his body was buried in Avalon by the Lake Fairy and guarded by the Archmage Merlin, waiting for the arrival of the next destined person.
Avalon, also known as the Isle of God and the Isle of Blessings, is a paradise in British mythology and legend. It is guarded by nine lake fairies and cannot be found by ordinary people.
However, the "Mao Kun Tu" records the location of Avalon Island. According to location analysis, it is on an island in the northern part of the British Isles.
…
Xiang Nan first used Apparition to return to London, England, then used his sword to travel to northern Scotland, and finally took a boat out to sea and headed straight to Avalon Island.
It's not that he doesn't want to fly directly to Avalon with his sword, but according to the records in "Mao Kun Tu", Avalon must be reached by boat. This is also the rule set by the fairies.
Xiang Nan took a small boat across the ocean. Although the sea was rough and rough, it was better than taking a leisurely stroll for him.
Because he holds the Poseidon Trident in his hand, no matter how huge the waves are, they can only help him move forward quickly without capsizing his boat.
Therefore, despite the strong wind and waves, Xiang Nan was not only safe, but also arrived at Avalon faster.
He set out from the northern coast of Scotland, spent half a day, and finally came to an unfamiliar sea area.
I saw that this sea area was shrouded in thick fog. The fog spread to cover the sky and the sun. It was boundless and could not be seen to the end. Ordinary ships can only take a detour when they see it.
After all, sailing is the most dangerous thing under heavy fog. Once you lose your way, you may spin in circles or even hit a rock and sink. Ordinary ships would never dare to take risks.
But Xiang Nan was resolute and drove the boat into the thick fog.
He is not afraid of losing his way, because he is holding the Wish Compass in his hand, which is helping him guide the course to Avalon.
…
The boat sailed into the thick fog. As soon as it entered, Xiang Nan felt a chill coming over him.
There seems to be great danger hidden in the thick fog.
However, Xiang Nan was not afraid and continued to move forward.
Along the way, I saw many rocks protruding from the deep sea. Their roots are as hard as iron and as sharp as knives, just like the claws of evil spirits. Once a ship hits, even the hardest bottom of the ship will be pierced in an instant. .
Therefore, Xiang Nan could see that there were many ships that ran aground around the rocks. They must have unfortunately entered the fog and then hit the rocks in the sea.
Although such a hellish scene was terrifying, it still did not scare Xiang Nan.
Because he has actually been on the battlefield and witnessed thousands of casualties. For example, in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", a hundred thousand Mongolian troops besieged Xiangyang City. Thousands of people were killed or injured in a fight. In the final decisive battle, both sides suffered casualties of up to 40,000 to 50,000.
Corpses littered the field, blood flowed into rivers, and it was too horrific to look at.
The total number of crew members on the ships in front of them is estimated to be no more than a thousand. For Xiang Nan, it was just a small scene. So he steered the boat to avoid the rocks and continued to move forward according to the guidance of the wish compass.
…
After walking for about another incense stick, Xiang Nan went deeper and deeper into the fog.
The fog is getting heavier and heavier, and Xiang Nan's vision is increasingly affected. I could see fifty meters away before, but now I can barely see five meters away.
And the gloomy and cold atmosphere in the fog is getting stronger and stronger.
At this moment, Xiang Nan suddenly heard the sound of treading water, getting closer and faster.
Xiang Nan frowned, leaned back suddenly, and saw a cold light passing in front of him.
Xiang Nan turned around and saw a knight standing on the water, in the thick fog, beside the boat.
He was wearing an ancient armor, holding a two-handed sword in both hands, but the helmet was completely dark, and his face could not be seen at all.
Although the horse under his crotch is very handsome, there is almost no flesh and blood on its body, only the dense white bones are shining brightly.
Xiang Nan immediately realized that this was a ghost knight, perhaps a Knight of the Round Table under King Arthur in the past. After his death, he volunteered to guard the outskirts of Avalon to prevent King Arthur's heroic spirit from being disturbed.
Seeing that the sword failed to kill Xiang Nan, the knight immediately swung his sword and struck again.
Xiang Nan slapped him directly with a palm, and the fierce palm force roared out, and the ghost knight was immediately knocked away.
With a clang and a bang, the armor was beaten to pieces, and it was seen that there was no body at all inside the armor, only a thick black air.
But the black energy did not dissipate. Instead, he put the scattered armor back together, then mounted the skeleton horse and slashed at Xiang Nan with his sword.
"Interesting." Xiang Nan couldn't help but nodded when he saw this.
Such an unbeatable ghost knight is quite interesting.
He then waved his wand, and several ropes flew out, tying up the knight and the horse under his crotch.
Although the ghost knight struggled hard and his armor creaked and rubbed, he still couldn't break free from the shackles of these ropes.
Xiang Nan then took out a leather bag, cast the Traceless Stretching Charm to expand the internal space, and then used the Great Shift of the Universe to put the unkillable ghost knight and his mount Skeleton Horse into the bag.
He planned to wait until he had time to study this knight and see what he was like.
…
However, Xiang Nan's move was like poking a hornet's nest. Then he heard more splashing sounds from deep in the thick fog, and then he saw dozens of ghost knights rushing towards him from the thick fog. Come over.
Seeing this, Xiang Nan immediately waved the Poseidon Trident. In an instant, strong winds arose on the sea and huge waves surged into the sky.
Wave after wave of surging waves swept towards the knights, and in an instant, the knights were swept away by the huge waves.
Xiang Nan also used the push of the waves to move forward quickly, and then he saw a black line in the distance.
