Magic Deity: Godly Choices - Chapter 495

“Although there is no concrete evidence, since we can come, we must be very confident.”

The black-robed man’s face was full of confidence.

“From 30,000 years ago, after you pulled out the sword in the stone, you began your journey to become a king. However, in a battle, the sword in the stone directly broke.”

Hearing this, Artoria’s eyebrows slightly moved.

“After that, under the guidance of a certain powerhouse, you came to a lake and obtained a holy sword from the lake fairy.”

“Of course, that was not enough. You also fused that Offensive Rune into that sword. The best evidence is that in the battle a thousand years later, you directly killed through the Saxon line-up, so that battle could be won.”

“From then on, your King’s sword was called the ‘Sword of Victory by Oath’, which is the sword beside you now.”

After the black-robed man finished speaking, he looked over.

Sensing his gaze, Artoria calmly took the sword in her hand and spoke lazily.

“A lot of people are like that, aren’t they? It’s a secret. As for the rune that you said fused into the sword, it’s even more ridiculous. Don’t say it without concrete evidence.”

“Besides, even if I really have the rune, why should I give it to you? Just because of that sapphire just now? If that’s the case, then you can take it back. I don’t care.”

Was what the black-robed man said true?

Of course it was true!

The person who guided her to the lakeside was her teacher.

But Artoria couldn’t admit it.

She also believed that the other party would never dare to plunder the palace.

Hearing Artoria’s words, the black-robed man fell silent.

After a long time, he said in a hoarse voice, “Since it’s a gift for King Arthur to celebrate, of course it can’t be returned. Originally, if you were willing to give us the rune, we would give you an important reward.”

“But since you’re not satisfied now, we’re willing to exchange it with a secret.”

“Secret? Tell me. I’ll see how important it is.”

“I believe it will be very important to you.”

“According to the information we found, the old King only had one daughter and no son in 30,000 years. Moreover, before he died in battle, a large number of people suddenly died in the palace, including the midwife.”

“Why do you think that is?”

The black-robed man directly shifted the question to Artoria.

Faced with the black-robed man’s tight pressure, Artoria fell into silence.

“That’s right, you are that girl. It was a woman disguised as a man that became the current King Arthur. If this secret is exposed, what do you think the consequences will be?”

“I wonder if such a secret is enough?”

The black-robed man spoke in a low voice.

Artoria remained silent.

She didn’t know how to refute him. Moreover, the other party had said so much in detail, which meant that he had a lot of evidence.

If it was possible, it wouldn’t be a big deal to hand over the rune in exchange for this secret,

However, it was because of the rune that she had her current strength.

Without the rune, she was only at the True God Realm. It was simply not enough to reclaim her territory.

However, this secret was also very important. If it was exposed by them, the consequences would be very serious.

“So what if I’m a woman? I’ve led the people to battle for so long and reclaimed all of my territory. Even if they know that I’m a woman, it’s not a big deal.”

After a long while, Artoria stood up and spoke her mind. However, her words also showed that she had admitted her identity.

Hearing Artoria’s words, the black-robed man smiled.

“Yes, in view of your achievements, most of the people will not change their minds. However, there will also be a portion of people who will firmly disagree with you. When that time comes, the internal will not be unified. If the external enemies invade again, it’s hard to say.”

Artoria sat down again. She knew that what the black-robed man said was right.

But she had no choice. The ceremony was going to be held soon.

It must not be chaotic.

Thinking of this, Artoria’s eyes flashed with a hint of killing intent.

She wanted to leave the black-robed men here.

But it disappeared very quickly because she was not sure if they had any accomplices.

If they did, she could not act rashly.

“How is it? What do you think?”

The black-robed man’s voice interrupted Artoria’s thoughts.

“I’m sorry. In order to keep this secret, I have to trouble everyone to stay here for a period of time.”

“Men, take them away. They are only allowed to deliver meals remotely every day. No one is allowed to come into contact with them.”

Artoria stood up and ordered.

Soon, six guards came in and took them away, preparing to lock them in the cage.

“Ha, it’s useless. Locking us up won’t change anything. There will be a surprise waiting for you.”

Facing the current situation, the black-robed man was very calm and did not panic at all.

Looking at their departing figures, Artoria felt a little uneasy.

She had a feeling that something might happen at the convention later on.

‘Could it be that someone was there to expose me?’

After a moment of silence, Artoria ordered the city guards to keep an eye on anyone suspicious, especially those from other galaxies. If there were any unusual movements, she would report them directly.

Right now, she could only hope that nothing would happen at that time.

…

At this time, it was already late at night.

In a castle on the outskirts of Central City.

There were still two people leisurely drinking red wine at the dining table.

“It’s already so late. It looks like they won’t be coming back. Then we can only carry out another plan.”

As the bell rang, one of the red-robed men spoke.

“Since the plan has failed, I have no objections.”

The black-robed man put down his wine glass and expressed his agreement.

“What do you think, Lancelot!”

The two of them looked at the young man on the sofa in the darkness.

As their gazes landed on him, the man on the sofa stopped shaking his wine glass and slowly opened his eyes.

“Do we really have to do this?”

The man looked at the wine glass in front of him, and a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes.

His name was Lancelot, and he was one of the Knights of the Round Table of Artoria. He was also one of her most trusted people.

He had made a name for himself during the war to reclaim his territory and was Artoria’s right-hand man.

Initially, nothing much happened. The ruler and his subjects worked together to advance together. However, things slowly changed.

Because of one person.

Guinevere!

It was unknown when Guinevere gradually entered Lancelot’s line of sight.

He fell in love with this girl who was very considerate and took good care of others.

But this girl was King Arthur’s playmate and was about to become his princess.

Facing King Arthur, Lancelot didn’t know how to express himself. After all, they had fought together for so many years.

For a time, Lancelot was very sad and often drank to drown his sorrows.
