Chapter 4445 Chapter 4447 [The Sword in the Stone]
Xiang Nan drove the boat into the fog, passed through the reefs, defeated the guarding ghost knights, and finally entered the core of the fog - Avalon Island.
I saw a bright light on Avalon Island, in sharp contrast to the fog outside.
The trees on the island are lush and green, full of sweet fruits; under the trees are clusters of flowers, full of colorful flowers; there are several streams on the ground, filled with milk, red wine and juice... exuding fragrance. .
"No wonder Avalon is known as the Island of Blessings and the Island of God's Blessing. It is the paradise in Welsh myths and legends. It is really unique." Seeing this scene, Xiang Nan couldn't help but admire.
Then he stopped the boat and docked, and walked onto Avalon Island.
I saw that the scenery on this island is really pleasant and beautiful, and the air is filled with sweet and happy smell.
Under the guidance of the wish compass, Xiang Nan walked forward, passing through dense fruit trees, crossing streams, and finally came to a huge lake.
I saw an island in the middle of the lake, and there was a huge oak tree on the island, which was several meters in diameter and hundreds of meters high. It looked like it could stand up to the sky and the earth.
There are exquisite bird's nest-like houses on the branches of the oak trees. The house is entirely made of wood and decorated with colorful flowers. It is very beautiful.
Xiang Nan counted and found that there were nine houses in total. He knew that there were nine lake nymphs on Avalon. They are Morgana, Vivian, Moreno, Mazo, Griton, Grito, Teton, Tyronno, and Teto.
The nine fairies not only have beautiful faces and proud personalities, but also have strong magical powers and are both good and evil, so they are also called the "Lake Witches".
Among them, Morgana is King Arthur's biological sister, also known as Baroness Morgan and Morgan Feller. It was her son Mordred, who was born to King Arthur, who stabbed King Arthur in the back, killed his father, and he himself was seriously wounded to death.
Vivian is also the leader of the Lake Fairy. It was she who gave King Arthur the King's Sword, allowing him to become an invincible king.
According to legend, it was she who seduced the archmage Merlin, learned magic from him, discovered the weaknesses of his magic, and finally imprisoned him in an oak tree.
Therefore, when he saw the oak tree and the nine houses on the oak tree, Xiang Nan did not rush forward rashly. Instead, he prepared to announce his name first and see the attitude of the nine lake fairies.
…
"I am here to pay a visit to the nine lake fairies. Please show up to see them." Xiang Nan adjusted his appearance and then shouted loudly.
As soon as he finished speaking, the doors of the nine houses on the oak tree all opened, and nine women with unparalleled beauty, hot figures, and noble temperaments walked out of the rooms.
Their clothes are luxurious, their expressions are cold and arrogant, and their whole bodies exude a charming and sultry aura, which makes people feel excited and unable to extricate themselves when they see them.
"You are so brave, you dare to come here." The fairy at the top said coldly with a stern look in her eyes.
"This is Avalon, the island of blessings, the island of God's blessing. Only those who are invited are allowed to land on the island." Another fairy said coldly.
"Eldest sister, second sister, don't be so fierce and scare this handsome guy." Another fairy waved her hand and said, "I think he is very brave and capable, and he was able to land on the island."
"He looks quite handsome, why not just keep him." Another fairy said with equal joy, "After so many years, we have been lonely for too long."
"Yes, eldest sister, second sister, even if you want to kill him, why don't you wait for us to play first?" Another fairy also said. Xiang Nan heard a dark clue. What did these nine fairies in the lake think of themselves? They killed whenever they wanted and had fun when they wanted. Did they ever respect their own opinions?
"I came here this time to look for King Arthur's treasure." He then said loudly, "I wonder if some fairies can give me some advice?"
The fairies were stunned for a moment and looked at Xiang Nan together.
"Want King Arthur's treasure? Yes!" The fairy at the top nodded, "Prove your own strength first."
"This is King Arthur's sword in the stone. You must pull it out first to prove that you have the qualifications to become a king." Another fairy said, and then waved her hand.
Ripples appeared in the lake, and a stone emerged from the water. A sword was stuck on the stone. The sword was made of gold, the hilt was inlaid with gems, and the exposed blade also shone with cold light. You can tell by looking at it that it is an extremely sharp sword.
"Thanks for the advice." Xiang Nan nodded and walked into the lake.
Immediately, he noticed countless cold auras in the lake, which quickly surrounded him. His legs felt like they were locked by tens of thousands of kilograms of iron chains, or like he stepped into liquid nitrogen and was instantly frozen. Had to lose consciousness.
Xiang Nan looked down and saw countless ghosts in the lake, tightly restraining him.
"That's unreasonable!" Xiang Nan yelled angrily, and his whole body was shaken. Zhiyang Zhigang's inner strength immediately erupted, and these ghosts immediately retreated as if struck by lightning, daring not to approach Xiang Nan again.
Xiang Nan's body also recovered, allowing him to continue moving forward.
Seeing this scene, the nine fairies in the lake were all shocked. They didn't expect Xiang Nan's strength to be so terrifying. Thousands of ghosts in the lake could not trap him.
…
Xiang Nan came to the stone and held the hilt of the sword in the stone.
Then he took a deep breath, slowly exerted force, and was thinking in his heart, "Nowadays, people outside are in ruins, mourning is everywhere, people are in dire straits, and life is worse than death. We need a king to appear in this world, overthrow the tyranny, help the people in the world, help those in need, and do justice for heaven.
God, help me draw this sword! "
He knew that the Sword in the Stone was the legendary sword that only the king destined to rule Britain could pull out. Therefore, this divine sword is spiritual and can choose its owner independently.
According to Xiang Nan's guess, it should have a certain Legilimency ability like Gryffindor's sword and be able to read the user's mind. Only after confirming that he really has the courage and the spirit to sacrifice for others will he show up and let him use it.
Because of this, Xiang Nan emptied his selfish thoughts, only thought about saving the common people, and then drew the sword with this mentality.
It is not easy for ordinary people to completely clear away their selfish thoughts.
But for Xiang Nan, who has been practicing for more than two thousand years and has honed his spirit and will to be as hard as rock and as strong as steel, it is not difficult at all.
But even so, to pull out the sword from the stone, you still need a little luck and fate.
After all, there is a saying on the Sword in the Stone, "Only a king can pull the sword out of the solid stone." It can be seen that not only faith is enough, but also the destiny to be a king.
