Elf’s Shorts Boy
Chapter 919 The old man presents a treasure, a wooden box! !
The meaning of the sword in the stone is: "Anyone who can pull out this sword from the stone platform and was born in St. Gad, it is the king of the whole territory of St. Gad."
The Sword in the Stone, which contains the will of Saint Gade, is a test for the royal family and can serve as a spur.
Since the heir to the throne drew the sword in the stone and was recognized by Saint Gadde, this made the common people more firmly trust the king's rule.
It can be said that the rule of the Saint Gaard Empire can last for thousands of years, and the legend of the sword in the stone has a very important part of significance.
However, it was such an important token of royal power that broke away from the hand of the heir to the throne during the throne succession ceremony.
This is undoubtedly a very straightforward declaration that Prince Feng Huoyou has not been recognized by Saint Gad's will, and is not qualified to become the king of Saint Gad.
And the sword in the stone is inserted into the center of the square in Orudran City. Whoever can pull out the sword in the stone will sit on the throne of the Saint Gad Empire.
All members of the royal family, nobles and residents of the city went to the city square of Orudran to participate in the test, and there is no doubt that no one pulled out the sword in the stone.
According to historical records, the one who finally pulled out the sword in the stone was a prince named Arthur from England under the Saint Gaard Empire.
Then according to the test of the sword in the stone and the will of Saint Gad, the throne of the Saint Gad Empire will be inherited by Arthur.
Perhaps the legend of the sword in the stone is just a lie written, directed and acted by the later historians.
The royal family of the Saint Gaard Empire will naturally not hand over the throne to be inherited by a crowned prince.
Of course, the rest of the feudal kingdoms do not require Arthur to inherit the throne of St. Gad.
All they want is a reason that the current members of the royal family of the Saint Gaard Empire are not eligible to inherit the throne, a reason that allows them to launch a rebellion openly.
After the Sword in the Stone incident, the imperial royal family did not allow Arthur, who pulled out the Sword in the Stone, to inherit the throne.
The feudal kingdom below also began to openly rebel against the rule of the royal family under the banner of carrying out the will of Saint Gade.
The distribution of territories has already made Saint Gad exist in name only. Facing the crusade from the major kingdoms and duchies, the Saint Gad empire quickly fell apart.
Then what the old man described happened——
When the imperial city of Oludran was breached by the coalition forces, the members of the royal family who gave up their resistance carried another token of imperial power to escape the vortex of the power storm in embarrassment.
A dozen members of the royal family led a team of guards to the depths of the Higoli Mountains, which is now the Yuejian Mountains.
Then live in seclusion in this valley surrounded by mountains.
Perhaps the ancestors of the villagers in Taoyuan Village, that is, the members of the royal family who carried the holy crown as a keepsake, also thought about making a comeback.
But finally see the general trend or other reasons make them.
Voluntarily renounced the status of a member of the royal family, followed the guards to marry and build a family, or was forced by force by the guards.
In short, the last group of royal family members canceled the decision to make a comeback, and then lived in seclusion in the valley.
The pines and cypresses in the valley are evergreen, but the world outside the mountains is constantly changing.
The feudal monarchy was overthrown, and the feudal society transitioned to a modern and modern civilized society ruled by the Pokémon Alliance.
The sun is unknown in the mountains, and it has been in the world for hundreds of years.
The descendants of the former imperial royal family have become the simple and kind villagers of Taoyuan Village.
The former splendor of the empire, told from the mouth of the old man in front of my beloved, has become extraordinarily detached and ordinary, as if it has nothing to do with me.
Yes, the glory of the predecessors only belongs to the predecessors. The old people and the villagers in front of them are looking forward to a new life after moving outside the mountain.
"Our ancestors let go of their identities as members of the royal family and know that they can live safely. Now we are relieved of the burden of history, and I believe we will live better."
Looking at the crudely carved wooden tablets in the small ancestral hall, the old man thought as if he was relieved.
"I will let this story rot in my stomach. No one will disturb your peaceful and stable life in the future, so please rest assured, old man."
The beloved looked at the old man who stopped at the door and hadn't stepped into the ancestral hall for a long time, the beloved sighed and solemnly promised.
"Where is it, I am willing to tell this story to my benefactor, so I can trust my benefactor in my heart."
Hearing his beloved's voice, the old man's wandering mind suddenly returned to this old and crooked body.
Sangguai struck the ground, and the old man's tone was as respectful as ever.
"Let the benefactor come to the ancestral hall today, because the little old man has something and wants to give it to the benefactor."
Seeing that the lover was holding the dumb beast in his arms and was silent, just looking into the ancestral hall curiously, the old man smiled with both hands on the head of his staff.
"Oh—" Hearing what the old man said, the beloved showed a very interested expression on his face.
"Benefactor, please follow me to the ancestral hall." The old man bowed and made a 'please' gesture.
"Oh, yes." My beloved, he followed the old man into the ancestral hall without asking any further questions.
The light in the ancestral hall is dim, and there is some incense ash smell in the air, and all the furnishings look very historical.
The beloved and the dumb beast in his arms looked around curiously.
What surprised them was that the ancient forest outside the ancestral hall was dark and humid, but the inside of the ancestral hall was very dry.
Follow the old man to the inner hall, where there is also a separate sacrificial room.
There are only 14 tablets behind the altar, and behind the top middle tablet is a square object wrapped in dark yellow cloth.
"The ancestors, the ancestors..."
The old man knelt down on the cushion in front of the memorial tablet, with a solemn expression, muttering words in his mouth.
The beloved and the dumb beast didn't make any inquiries, let alone looked around randomly.
One person and one pet waited quietly for the old man to finish the worship ceremony, and then watched the old man take out the square burden behind the tablet above.
"Old man, what is this?" The beloved asked with some doubts after glancing at the dignified and delicate patterns on the dark yellow cloth used as a wrap.
The old man didn't play charades with him, he put the bundle on the altar and opened it directly in front of his beloved.
"This is what the ancestors brought out of the palace hundreds of years ago when they left the city of Oludran."
"We have guarded it for hundreds of years, but it is of no use to us. Now we have to move out of the mountain and start a new life."
"So the little old man thought, if you give this thing to your benefactor, maybe it will be of some use to your benefactor."
The old man untied the yellow cloth, revealing a square wooden box with luxurious carvings and a faint smell.
"Pa-ta~" Without waiting for the lover to ask questions, the old man directly opened the hidden lock, allowing him to see the contents of the box.
The dark-colored agarwood box is lined with a brocade lining, which unknowingly increases the price estimates of others in the box.
When the beloved saw the contents of the box, he was so shocked that his mouth opened wide.
"This is……"
