Type-Moon, a human love simulator

Chapter 57 My daughters, aren’t they pretty good?

In fact, a few years ago, Merlin, at the instruction of King Uther, began to promote public opinion about the destined king to build momentum for the selection of the king for the Sword in the Stone. King Uther also repeatedly said that he had no son and that any Celt who met the requirements was qualified to become king.

But these words were only meant to fool fools, as Morgan simply did not believe them and had never thought of drawing his sword to bring humiliation upon himself. Gawain and the others naturally understood that Altria would definitely become king.

Otherwise, why would we need the British saint, Kelar, to assist us personally?

The only person worthy of having someone like Kelar as his assistant is the Supreme King.

Gawain and Agraven finally stayed, and as King Uther's face grew increasingly gloomy, they knelt on one knee and declared their allegiance to the future king, Artoria.

As to whether it was true loyalty or false, not only King Uther knew it, but even Altria knew it.

However, the greatest ability of a true leader is to use people.

Altria just glanced at Kelar, and everything was self-explanatory. There was already an unspoken understanding between the two of them.

She knew that this was not just Kelar's test and journey, but that she was really beginning to touch the highest authority in Britain.

See everything from the perspective of a king.

There are many kinds of kings. If you leave everything to wise ministers to govern the country, you can indeed become a hegemon. But since Artoria wants to become an emperor, the ability to judge people and the ability to make decisions are essential.

Duke Huan of Qi was the first hegemon of the Spring and Autumn Period. At his peak, he could even influence the selection of the Zhou emperor. However, after the death of Guan Zhong, his true nature was immediately exposed. He listened to the advice of treacherous ministers and led the powerful Qi State into civil strife.

Employing the best people and allowing them to fully develop their talents can only be said to be on the average level, such as Liu Chan.

Employing mediocre people, being able to see the hidden nature of a mediocre person and giving him a platform to develop his potential shows that he is a wise ruler who knows how to identify and employ people, such as Liu Che.

And employing people according to their shortcomings means being able to put a person who is of no benefit to you, or even harmful to you, hostile to you, or wants to rebel, in the right place, and turning a bad person into an advantage. This is a rare sage king, such as Liu Bang.

For a 'Great Emperor', there is no one who cannot be used. Not being able to use them is just a matter of your ability.

Therefore, after having some contact with Gawain and Aguivan, Artoria assigned responsibilities to them.

Agguiwen is a man of cold, hard, and heartless character, so he replaces the criminal staff to enforce the laws of Maple Ridge.

However, Gawain was frivolous and arrogant, and could not be used directly without tempering him, so Artoria sent him to carry out the "Swords into Plowshares" project, and the Shuqi staff dispatched the personnel, the Qiangu staff calculated the expenditures, and the Xingming staff, that is, Aggguiwen, supervised the gains and losses.

Everyone checks and balances each other. Unless the four of them join forces to rebel, anyone who wants to do something will be subject to constraints and checks and balances from all sides.

If Gawain gave up, it would implicate Agragwen, and Agragwen would not protect Gawain because of his character.

Kelar did not offer any advice to Altria. He just stood by and watched, praising her in his heart: "Lily, you have mastered the art of employing people and balancing power."

Forging swords into plowshares was a policy Kelar had enacted a few years ago after he had subdued tens of thousands of Onsa people and cleared out their weapons. Too many swords were unnecessary, and Kelar had wanted to turn them all into farm tools.

As a result, the number of weapons for more than 70,000 people was really too large. The number of blacksmith shops in Maple Ridge could not meet the demand, and it could not be effectively implemented.

Kelar could only temporarily pile these remnants in the warehouse, and while building the territory, he slowly and orderly carried out the process of turning swords into plowshares.

At the same time, it can also be seen from this that Maple Ridge's industry is too single, and more infrastructure needs to be built to meet the growing needs of the residents.

Even as Artoria used the two sons of Morgan with a balancing technique that the Celtic barbarians had never seen before, King Uther no longer watched, his eyes filled with an inexplicable envy and regret, which eventually turned into satisfaction.

He stopped looking and turned his gaze to Kelar, saying very humbly: "Sir Kelar, the saint of Britain..."

"Do you have time to talk to me, an old man who is about to die?"

"It is my pleasure, King Uther."

Kelar did not refuse King Uther's request. He led King Uther to his office, and King Uther politely declined Hector's request to follow him.

King Uther was in poor health. He was out of breath after walking such a short distance. It was obvious that he would not live long. After the two men sat down, Kelar looked at him seriously, wanting to hear what the king who had ruled Britain for decades had to say.

The two looked at each other for a moment, and King Uther suddenly said, "My daughters, are you very good?"

"..."

Kelar almost choked on his breath. He stared at King Uther with wide eyes and said, "Huh? Ah? King Uther, what are you talking about? I seem to have heard a minority language that is very similar to Celtic just now?"

"I mean... whether it's Morgan or Lily, they're both pretty good, right?"

King Uther took out a handkerchief, wiped the sweat from his forehead with a tired look, and sighed, "I have always known that Morgan is obsessed with the throne. After all, she is the real king of the British Isles. I, the king, am just a scumbag who has seized the throne of my daughter!"

"Morgan's desire for the throne far outweighs her life." King Uther sighed deeply, "I don't want to really harm her life, nor do I want to return the throne to Morgan."

King Uther laughed at himself and said, "Arthur once said that I was a cold political creature, but when it comes to Morgan, I seem to have some warmth of a father. At least I really can't kill Morgan without any burden."

"Kailar, as you can see, I am indeed a mediocre mortal king. I am not tough, and I am even a little weak."

King Uther looked at Kelar with gentle eyes and said, "As for Morgan's problems, only you and Arthur can solve them."

Born with the concept of a savior fairy, Morgan is born to be a king, but this also makes her obsession with the throne very strong. After all, this is one of her essences. If she does not covet the throne, it would be tantamount to denying her own essence.

"..."

Kelar, who was a fan of Yunyue, didn't know this. He couldn't help but think of how he had repeatedly persuaded Morgan to give up the throne, but Morgan did not turn against him. Instead, he tolerated his unintentional mistake. For a moment, he couldn't help feeling a little ashamed.
