I must draw my sword immediately!

Chapter 110 The Countdown to Glory Day

#
Moonlight streamed through the huge stained-glass windows, falling into the room on the top floor of this Gothic castle.

Unlike the opulent scene outside the corridor, where even taking a single mural could bring financial freedom, this place...

Inside the boudoir of the kingdom's richest woman, Gerry Freyt, there was only a simple wooden bed, a black oak table for receiving guests, tea set on the table, a few birchwood high-backed chairs placed next to the table, and a well-maintained silver-white suit of armor hanging on a shelf in the corner of the room.

Apart from that, there is nothing.

now,

Standing at the black oak table, Suya looked at the girl sitting opposite her.
"Where should I begin? Let me think."

Gerry Freyt rested her chin on her folding fan, pondered for a moment, and then let out a deep breath.

"Since we're businessmen, let's start with a transaction."

"King of Knights, Sua Pendra"

Suya shook her head and interrupted, "Just call me Suya."

“Okay,” Gerry Freyt nodded, smiled, and continued her story.
"So, Suya, how much do you know about the capital, or even this kingdom?"

"I don't know much."

Suya frowned, thought about the scenes he had seen along the way, and said,

"Winchester, the capital, looks very prosperous. The people living here are all doing their jobs and living in peace and contentment. It seems, well, like an ideal capital?"

"And there's the royal selection ceremony taking place here right now. I've heard that princes from many countries will be coming here. The capital city is also divided into four factions because of this."

"Royalty, Church, Nobility, Knights."

Thinking about this, Su Ya thought to herself that this was just like a template-based visual novel game. Was she going to start by winning over powerful figures one by one and having a clichéd power struggle game?
"That's not right."

Gerry Freyt shook her head, a bitter smile on her face.
"The capital is now divided into only two camps."

"One is a princess, oh, now she should be called the Dominator, Morgan le Fay."

"another."

She paused, then said in a deep voice:

"He is the regent, King Perinoa."

King Perinoa
Upon hearing this address, Suya frowned slightly.
This person is the regent left to Arthur by King Uther in the Arthurian legend. He is known as the King Guardian of the Holy Grail, or the Wounded King.

But what makes him even more famous is that he was the father-in-law of Lancelot, one of the Knights of the Round Table, and the grandfather of Galahad.

In some more recent versions, the character's image is merged with that of King Perinore, who cut off King Arthur's sword in the stone, completing his earlier life. He was also a knight who hunted giant beasts, a powerful warrior king, and the father of some famous Knights of the Round Table, such as Lanmarok and Percival.

And what kind of image does King Perinoa have in this world?
Instead of elaborating on what kind of person King Perinoa was, Gerry Freyt changed the subject and asked:

"Suya, how long do you think the capital can hold out against the Conqueror King?"

Suddenly asked this question, Suya couldn't help but look up at the girl in front of her, whose face was etched with heavy anxiety and an unresolved entanglement.

Suya had no idea what kind of defenses the capital had at the time, but having just experienced a 'destined' miracle, he was pessimistic about the situation.

So he tentatively said:
"Just like she said, 40 days?"

"It would be nice if that were the case."

Gerry Freyt shook her head and smiled wryly:
"But unfortunately—"

"We only have 8 days left."

"Glory Day, Authority Day, Instruction Day, Silence Day, Fellowship Day, Good Friday, Tomb Day, and Resurrection Day."

"Just as Jesus endured eight days of suffering in the legend, Britain, which was traded by King Euthy to King Solomon, also had only eight days left."

"According to the King's Covenant, eight days later, the Tower of God in Jerusalem will be completed, a new God will be resurrected on earth, and soon after, he will bestow divine positions upon the seven kings of this world, enabling them to ascend to heaven together, share in God's glory and power, and become kings of kings."

"And the price will be that the entire territory of Britain will be turned into a barren land."

"A barren land?" Suya's heart skipped a beat.
The barren land is associated with a legend of King Perinoa.
Legend has it that this king was judged for recklessly attempting to pull out the 'Blade of Destiny' or other sacred objects crafted by King Solomon and associated with the Holy Grail. A flame from heaven struck him, burning his inner thigh, a spot symbolizing fertility, the source of power, and worldly desires.

The cursed King Perinoa became the 'Wounded King,' and the land and kingdom he ruled became a barren, desolate, lifeless, and infertile place, with rivers drying up and crops withering.

His people, in their frenzy of devouring each other, brought about their final doom.

A silence called 'infertility'. Suya realized what was happening and immediately asked:

"So, Princess Morgan le Fay stood up at this time to use royal power to veto divine authority, in order to prevent the 'Tower of Divinity' from turning Britain into a barren land?"

"It can be understood this way."

Gerry Freyte nodded, then said in a deep voice:
“Morgan Lefebvre once invited me to assist her, but I refused her at the time. I did not believe she had the capacity to save the capital and Britain.”

"She was too deeply entangled with King Perinoah, or rather, she was raised by King Perinoah. I cannot tell whether she truly wants to save Britain or is determined to push it into hell with her own hands."

At this point, Gerry Freyt shook her head and sighed:

"But now—I have to admit, I underestimated her."

Suya understood that what the other party was referring to was that the princess had chosen to use royal power to deny divine authority, so that a once-powerful king had now become a person who had broken his promise.

"However, I still stand by my judgment."

Gerry Freyt then looked up at Sua and said in a low voice:

“Morgan Lefebvre was by no means a suitable choice for the British throne, as you and I have seen, the Sword in the Stone rejected her.”

"She lacked the 'capacity' to pull out the sword in the stone!"

Hearing this, Suya's lips twitched slightly, and she asked:
"You're telling me all this because you think I have it?"

Gerry Freyt nodded very seriously:

"Yes."

"According to the New Testament, the last few days of Jesus' life on earth are called Holy Week,"

"And the first day of Holy Week, Sunday, is when Jesus entered the Holy City in glory, hence it is called the Day of Glory."

"And on this very day, you single-handedly repelled the army that the King of Conquerors had sent to annihilate you, and entered the royal capital of Winchester; on the same day, Princess Morgan le Fay also ascended the throne in glory on this sacred first day."

"I initially thought it was all just a coincidence, but just now, you've proven it to me—"

"One hundred roulette wheels, because of your arrival, simultaneously point to the number of saints in this former Winchester Cathedral."

"I shouldn't have believed it, but so many coincidences piled up in front of me that I could no longer resist the confusion and bewilderment in my heart."

Gerry Frey stared intently at Suya and said solemnly:

"I can only believe that this is God's will!"

Suya's expression stiffened slightly. He thought to himself, "I didn't realize you were a Christian, girl. But isn't it a bit much to label me as God?"
If I were Jesus, wouldn't I be nailed to the cross in a few days, with several Confuciuses growing on my body?
We can't keep building up our fighting strength like this! We must believe in materialism!
At this moment, although she felt a little embarrassed by the flattery, Suya hadn't forgotten why she was there, so she continued to ask:

"Then what about that deal you mentioned at the beginning?"

At this moment, Gerry Freyt turned her head slightly to look at Sir Miles sitting to the side.
Under her gaze, Sir Miles's face grew serious, and he spoke:

"That happened fifteen years ago."

"After the Battle of the Red Dragon, Perinoa submitted to King Uther, who had defeated the Red Dragon, and replaced the missing Archmage Merlin as the kingdom's governor."

"Under his influence, King Uther made a deal with King Solomon."

"They built the tower, called the Tower of Divinity, with donations from the nations of Britain, in exchange for the glory of their own selfish desires."

"It was precisely because of that transaction that Britain has fallen into its current predicament."

"now,"

The prosperity you see is all illusion.

"The peace you see is all false peace."

"And now,"

"This illusion is about to collapse!"

"The dragon blood that spreads across this land is about to dry up, and the fake spiritual veins are about to vanish."

"The mysterious age belonging to Britain is coming to an end!"
