Summary: The old woman is fierce

Chapter 046

Mandate of Heaven.

In later generations, this is probably just a rather metaphysical word.

In the vast majority of cases, it is often used when people joke about losers.

Or, in graphic novels, movies and other literary works, the final evaluation of the tragic fate of those ultimate villains.

After all, those villains obviously work so hard, in order to achieve the great dreams in their hearts, they often have to work hard for decades or even hundreds of years. Painstaking, hard work!

But in the end, they often lose to a protagonist who does nothing all day, only knows how to be idle, and destroys his sister’s plan everywhere, and ends up with hatred.

In the face of such a fate, he can probably only helplessly call it “providence”.

However, if it is placed in this Britain at the end of the fifth century AD, on this European continent, which has formed the concept of “divine right of kings”

Then, this so-called “mandate of heaven” is not just a joke.

“The king’s position is sacred and absolutely inviolable, his power and glory come from God, and he is a shepherd who comes to the earth to teach and give alms by the will of the gods!”

This is a new interpretation of the Gospels by the Church of the Templar in order to please the rulers of the Roman Empire.

It was then that cooperation between the rulers of the Roman Empire and the church began in a real sense.

“The ruler gains absolute authority in the name of God; And those believers, with the help of the rulers, spread their faith widely across the European continent, spreading the light of God to every inch of the sun that could shine. ”

Thus began the rise of the church church.

And now, after more than a hundred years of development, the concept of divine right of kings has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people!

And this is the main reason why those kings in the Middle Ages, when they were at war with the enemy army, were clearly defeated and captured, but they could be released back after paying the ransom and continue to be the head of a country.

Everyone is the shepherd of the Lord, and after death, they will go to heaven together, and of course they must save some face with each other, so as not to get to God, and it is difficult to speak.

This is just the idea of ordinary rulers from the royal family.

And for Artoria, who was born as an orthodox knight and received the most authentic theological education. This concept is even more ingrained to the point of almost paranoia!

“I am the spokesperson chosen by God, and I am burdened with what God expects of me!”

“I swear to abide by all the morals and etiquette that a knight should have, and will never bring any shame to the glory of the Lord!”

Probably, even Merlin himself did not expect that the holy sword he made that could be mass-produced would have such a big impact on Artoria.

And after figuring out this link, An Xiu can only use this sentence to describe Merlin’s cerebral palsy behavior:

“Merlin, I don’t understand Wang Xin.”

Yes, Merlin never understood Artoria!

Even if Artoria was seen by him since he was a child, even if Artoria’s fate was a script written by him!

However, Merlin, who is half of the nightmare bloodline and can observe the future, still can’t understand what a real human is!

In the face of fate, he is really objective.

So much so that he is so objective that he habitually regards all people and things as pawns to move fate forward.

Of course, if you look at it from the perspective of human history and even planetary history, there is certainly no problem with this idea.

The two little loli inside the planet not only won’t blame him, but maybe they will also thank him for his credit in promoting the development of history and give him a crown.

However, if this “absolute objectivity” is limited to the individual, to the body of the girl in front of him, who is called a king, but in fact is just a pretending to be strong

Then, there is nothing more cruel in this world!

Because this broken holy sword does not just mean Artoria’s defeat in this battle.

This means the destruction of her self-belief!

And for a warrior, a king who still has a great mission, such a failure is simply more terrifying than taking her life!

“Leah—”

Looking at Artoria, who was kneeling on the ground, looking sluggish and motionless, Kai, who was watching the whole process from a distance, was directly anxious!

After getting along with Artoria for so many years, he certainly knows everything about the character of this righteous sister!

Be strong, competitive, rigid, paranoid!

Even in his daily training, he had never seen Artoria look so weak.

But now.

Looking at Artoria, who collapsed on the ground without any idea of fighting on her body. At this moment, Kai suddenly had the idea of taking Artoria and picking a pick!

“What a shit Chosen King!”

“It is estimated that it is just that old liar deceitful again!”

“Leah, let’s stop doing it! Let’s go home! ”

“Didn’t you always want a horse? When I get back, I will convince my father to give you a horse as a gift too!” ”

“And the sword… It’s just a broken sword, who is rare! ”

“I swear, I’ll find you a better one!”

Kai, who ran through the woods and ran to Artoria as fast as he could, took out all the seriousness of his life.

However, Artoria did not respond in any way.

She just knelt on the ground and stared blankly at the broken holy sword, her eyes empty, like a wooden man who had lost his soul.

This is probably the consequence of the defeat of faith.

Moreover, compared to the original history of the sword in the stone break. This time, the blow to Artoria caused by the breaking of this Chosen Sword was even greater.

After all, that rupture in history was actually because Artoria herself broke her knightly oath.

This is wrong, but it is by no means a big mistake. As long as you complete the confession, you can let go of the past and move forward.

In this regard, the church is quite tolerant.

After all, God forgives young people for mistakes!

What’s more, Artoria at that time was already a mature king and already had her own forces and team.

In that case, the blow, while severe, was not fatal.

But now.

Artoria, who was originally poor and white, lost this holy sword that represented her qualification as king.

So what is left of her?

Is she really the king?

This strong hint from the depths of her heart made her mental torture almost split.

In this regard, Morgan, who was standing in front of Artoria, wanted to laugh for a while.
