Foolish Brother Odin

Chapter 174 [Royalty] and King Arthur

After all, the status of the fairy in the lake is actually very low in the world of gods.

Originally a wild monster, her power was limited to a lake. In the entire Celtic mythology, the Lake Fairy did not have a divine status.

However, it was the Lady of the Lake who gave King Arthur the sword Excalibur, also known as the "Excalibur", after he broke the Sword in the Stone. This enabled King Arthur, who held the sword, to win twelve important battles in ten years and laid the foundation for the entire Kingdom of Camelot.

If Downes wanted to accept King Arthur as his divine servant, the Lady of the Lake would be the best introducer.

Coincidentally, after Downs took control of the two worlds, his position as the Water God began to be used in the Celtic world. This means that as the Water God, he is the super boss of the Fairy of the Lake.

This priesthood gave him supreme convenience.

It was not quite appropriate to directly accept King Arthur as a subordinate. After all, King Arthur was not a native hero of the Aesir, and he was not even favored. Before Towns chose him, he had already made a great reputation in the mortal world.

However, if the Lady of the Lake who gave King Arthur the holy sword was dealt with, then Downs would naturally have indirect jurisdiction.

To be honest, Downs didn't think that King Arthur could bring much bonus to his pantheon, but this thing has evolved into a collecting habit. If he came across such a big celebrity, he would naturally not miss it.

Even though the King Arthur in his eyes was a middle-aged man with a beard...

At this moment, King Arthur, who was taking a nap, was suddenly awakened by a strange light.

"Ah? This is..." King Arthur could hardly believe his eyes. Right next to his bed, his sword [Sword of Promised Victory] suddenly burst into dazzling light for no reason.

The brilliant light was so dazzling that even the thick curtains of the camp tents could not block it.

As soon as King Arthur drew his sword subconsciously, the light became even brighter.

The light is not blinding.

It is like the warm sun in winter, bestowing courage and blessings on the knights around it.

In the military camp, the Camelot knights who were busy preparing for war around the main tent were overjoyed and knelt on one knee with excitement.

"Your Majesty! This is a good sign!" Gawain, Gareth and other knights came and congratulated King Arthur.

King Arthur was a little dumbfounded, he could only summon the great wizard Merlin.

'History' quietly took a turn here!
Merlin was not trapped by his infatuation with Vivian, the Lady of the Lake. At this point in time, he was still following King Arthur and fighting against King Arthur's witch sister Morgan.

He took a quick look at the holy sword that was still glowing with a soft golden light and was greatly surprised: "Your Majesty, this sword has been endowed with another kind of divinity!"

"Ah? What divinity?" King Arthur asked subconsciously.

Merlin felt that this answer was a bit ridiculous, but he still said it: "This is [royalty]! Although I didn't think that the Fairy of the Lake would have this priesthood, somehow it suddenly appeared and existed."

King Arthur's eyes widened.

Merlin continued, "【Royal Authority】means that a very high-ranking god has recognized your identity as a king. It will greatly enhance the power of the royal orthodoxy. Conversely, it will have a huge special attack effect on rebels and those who have obtained the throne illegitimately!"

On the eve of the campaign against the Mordred rebels, this sudden bonus is definitely a huge benefit.

King Arthur was still confused: "Wait! How could such a good thing happen suddenly?"

The wrinkles on Merlin's old face seemed to smooth out: "Your Majesty, please hug the holy sword and fall asleep slowly. It... will give you the answer!" "Okay!"

The knights outside were whispering excitedly, while King Arthur inside put on his formal clothes and lay down calmly, letting the holy sword with a gold hilt and a gem on the hilt lie on his body.

It was not difficult. King Arthur found that his soul was instantly pulled to the familiar lakeside.

When Arthur was young, he pulled out the sword in the stone for the king election, but it broke in a duel because of a fight that violated the spirit of chivalry. King Arthur was very regretful for losing the sword. So the great magician Merlin guided him to the holy lake, where the fairy in the lake held a sword in her hand and raised it out of the water.

This is the origin of his current holy sword.

What surprised him greatly was that the fairy in the lake, who had once been secretive and unwilling to reveal her true face, this time stood floating on the lake.

Her bare feet lightly tapped the surface of the lake, creating ripples.

With just a quick glance, he was almost stunned by the beauty of the fairy in the lake and unable to extricate himself.

King Arthur bowed and said, "Meet the Lady of the Lake!"

She was his great benefactor, and if he didn't have the British crown on his head, he should have knelt down to worship her.

“No need to be polite.” The face of the fairy in the lake was covered with a white veil, but a smile could still be faintly seen at the corner of her mouth.

"I wonder why the fairy suddenly bestowed new power on the Sword of Promised Victory?" King Arthur asked bluntly.

The fairy in the lake did not answer directly, but said: "A while ago, the will of the world bestowed the power of the origin of the world to strengthen your power. Do you understand?"

"Understand! Arthur Pendragon is ashamed!" King Arthur was really ashamed. If it weren't for the sudden rebellion of his sister Morgan and his illegitimate son Mordred, he would have been duty-bound to fight against Chaos.

"Don't be ashamed. I understand that you have your difficulties." The Fairy of the Lake changed the subject: "But the collapse of the world is imminent. Now is not the time for you to be petty. For the future of the entire Celtic world, there are some things you must learn to accept."

"I..." King Arthur hesitated.

"The details will be revealed when you meet that Majesty." The Fairy of the Lake glanced at him and said, "I am already the Lady of the Lake promoted by that Majesty."

"what?"

Fairies and goddesses, a simple change in name, represents the elevation of divinity.

King Arthur only felt that she was amazing, but he didn't know magic until now, and he didn't know that his benefactor had changed so much. He was so surprised that he couldn't speak.

The goddess of the lake pointed her finger, and King Arthur felt his soul wrapped in a seven-color rainbow light. When he came to his senses, he was already in an extremely huge silver palace.

This palace is so huge!

A palace is larger than the entire city of Camelot.

This is not a palace for mortals to live in at all.

Unexpectedly, yet not so unexpectedly, King Arthur saw the golden-armored god sitting on the huge throne, surrounded by brilliant light.

"This is the supreme Æsir God-King, Towns Paulson, the ruler of the two worlds of Kinlunga and Celtic!" the Lady of the Lake introduced.
