Chapter 40: Resurrection of the Dead (Please Collect and Recommend)
As King Uther spoke, the crown, which was slightly smaller than the king's crown, also fell on Arthur's head. →At this time, everyone began to applaud sincerely, which meant that they had a target to be loyal to, and their contract with the royal family could continue.
King Uther looked at Arthur, who stood up and was much taller than him, and finally showed a gratified smile on his face, with a sense of pride that his son had grown up.
After Arthur stood up, he began to gesture to the surroundings. Everyone who saw Arthur would bow to show their submission and respect, even Kai was no exception. Merlin and Gwen, who were standing behind everyone, deliberately made fun of Arthur's change of identity.
Perhaps Arthur was a little proud. After seeing Kai bow to him, he turned back to look at Kai again. Kai knew what he wanted to do as soon as he saw this kid, but in such a solemn occasion, Kai would naturally not be confused about the importance, so he could only bow again.
Arthur suddenly felt that the originally boring ceremony of enthronement was not as boring as he had imagined. At least it could make Kai, who had always been in awe of him, bow down to him.
Just when Arthur wanted to play again, Kai's face suddenly changed and he rushed out.
Arthur was almost scared to death at that time. He had no other intentions, just wanted to make a joke. He didn't expect Kai to rush towards him.
Kai's actions immediately attracted the attention of a large number of people. This part was the hardcore supporters of the royal family. What they feared most was that the royal inheritance would flow out, which was unbearable for them. So Kai was undoubtedly a huge threat in their eyes.
Now Kai suddenly rushed out, and they thought that Kai finally couldn't suppress his inner ambition and planned to disrupt the prince's enthronement. →
But Kai's speed was so fast that they had no time to react. However, they immediately realized that Kai didn't want to disrupt Arthur's enthronement ceremony.
Kai rushed to Arthur's side, grabbed Arthur and pushed him behind him, then he stood in front of Arthur, with his two swords unsheathed and made a defensive posture.
"Crack! Boom!"
Just as Kai finished his defensive posture, the huge stained glass window on the side of the hall was smashed, and a knight wearing black armor and riding a huge black horse broke through the glass window and came into the hall.
The sense of oppression on the black knight was so strong that the candles in the hall, which were originally as bright as daylight, began to flicker.
At this time, the other knights reacted and drew their swords to block King Uther and Arthur.
The black knight did not make any other moves, but rode his horse slowly towards Arthur and King Uther. He held a lance in his hand, with a coat of arms on it. The flag was black and had a white phoenix with its wings spread. And there was the same coat of arms on his shield.
The heavy kicking sound of the horse's hooves resounded throughout the hall, and everyone was a little confused. They didn't understand why someone would be so bold to disrupt the prince's canonization.
When he was only five steps away from King Uther and Arthur, he stopped. His helmet was very thick, with scars all over it. It was obvious that this helmet had gone through countless battles with its owner. Perhaps because of the thickness of the helmet, people could not see the knight's eyes clearly. Through the window of the helmet, they could only see a silent darkness.
The knight moved his helmet and seemed to be sizing up everyone. →Finally, he fixed his eyes on King Uther's face. Then he took off his iron gloves and threw them on the ground!
Knight challenge!
Kai squinted at the knight in front of him and suddenly felt an endless malice! What's more terrible is that Kai could not feel a trace of living people from him!
Just as Kai was thinking about what to do, Arthur suddenly broke free from Kai's protection and tried to bend down to pick up the iron gloves!
"No!" Kai shouted immediately.
But before Kai could hold Arthur, a young knight standing on the other side stepped out of the crowd and picked up the iron gloves in advance.
"I! Knight Owen, accept your challenge!"
"Farek!" Kai cursed a little angrily.
Of course he knew this kid. He was one of the five knights Kai favored the most in the Knights. He was very talented and very young, even younger than Arthur. Although his strength was not top-notch now, Kai believed that this kid would definitely become an excellent knight in time.
But like all young people, he was still too self-righteous!
When the Black Knight saw someone picking up his iron gloves, he did not make any other reactions, but said: "One-on-one, tomorrow at noon, until death!"
After saying this, the Black Knight was ready to turn around and leave.
"Wait!" Kai suddenly stopped the Black Knight.
The Black Knight turned his head and looked at Kai.
"The duel is canceled!" Kai stood up with two swords in his hands. "I'll replace him."
"What?!" This sentence not only shocked others, but even Owen couldn't believe it.
The Black Knight glanced at Kai, ignored him, and emphasized to Owen again, "See you tomorrow at noon!"
After that, he never cared about Kai again and rode into the night.
...
No one expected that Arthur's canonization ceremony would become a mess.
"You shouldn't have picked up the gloves, Owen..." Kai sat on the chair with his hands on the armrests, looking very helpless. This kid is too stubborn!
"Then cancel the duel!" Morgana said hurriedly.
"No! This is the honor of the knight, I can't cancel the duel." Owen still had this attitude, he was unwilling to cancel the duel.
"Okay! The challenge has been accepted, and the duel is unavoidable! This is the provision of the Knight Code!" King Uther's face didn't look good either, but he didn't know whether it was because the canonization ceremony was disrupted or because of something else.
"But..." Morgana wanted to say something else, but King Uther was no longer interested in listening. He waved Owen away. "You should have a good rest and stay in good condition."
"Yes!" Owen was actually a little scared before. After all, the sense of oppression given by the Black Knight was too strong. But after this period of psychological construction, he has strengthened his determination. Escape is more terrifying than death.
Morgana looked at young Owen, and she couldn't bear the unbearable feeling in her heart. She looked at Kai.
Of course Kai knew what Morgana meant, and he shook his head. "I've already tried my best, but Owen is unwilling to let me replace him. If he had agreed before, I could have used some reasons to replace him, but now... it's too late."
Arthur couldn't help it at this time. He was ready to accept the challenge before, but now... in short, he could only think about things in a good direction.
"Owen's strength is already very strong, maybe he..."
"Impossible!" Kai interrupted him immediately. "Do you know who he is?"
"who is he?"
"Tristan! The former first knight of the Celtic nations, and my former teacher..."
"Impossible!" Unexpectedly, King Uther stood up and interrupted Kai. "He has been dead for a long time! He can't be alive!" King Uther thought very anxiously, even a little bit fearful.
"Yes... he is indeed not alive." Kai leaned his head on the back of the seat and said in a low voice. "I couldn't feel any warmth on his body, no heartbeat, no breathing, and there was only the rotten smell of death... It seemed that someone had awakened my teacher from the grave."
"This is impossible!" King Uther still refused to believe it.
"It is very possible...those wizards can do it, my lord. I am extremely familiar with Tristan. His armor, shield, crown and banner are all exactly the same as when he was buried, as well as his oppression. I won't admit it." There was no need to deny this matter. Kai had already noticed something strange about him, but he didn't expect that Owen would be so anxious and pick up the iron glove. "I think we must lose a good knight to-morrow, for no man can kill a dead man."
In fact, King Uther had already figured out that it was Tristan, who was his brother-in-law, Arthur's uncle, and the younger brother of the first queen! And Tristan was killed by King Uther in a duel. King Uther just refused to believe it.
