Chapter 2593

At this moment, a priest wearing a long robe stood up, holding a book of scriptures, and said a lot of nonsense to Fade Chen.

After nearly half an hour, when the sky was completely dark, the priest in robes finally finished his speech and announced the official start of the Sword in the Stone sacrificial ceremony.

Next, the members of the royal family drew their swords and knelt down on one knee to salute the sword in the stone.

After the ceremony, it finally came to the real key part of the ceremony, that is, members of the royal family, try to draw the sword in the stone. If they can successfully pull out the sword in the stone, they will be able to win the attention of the Holy See and the royal family and focus on training them.

It can be said that at this relief, all the children of the royal family are eager to try and gear up.

Although most of the people present knew it well, the competition for the sword in the stone was still between the eldest prince Aubrey and the second prince Polut, and other members of the royal family basically had no possibility.

But after all, it is an annual grand ceremony and an opportunity to change themselves. Many members of the royal family still want to try it.

As the priest announced the list, members of the royal family walked towards the square stone in the center of the courtyard one after another, gathered their breath, held the rusty sword in the stone with both hands, gritted their teeth, and tried to push the sword in the stone out of the stone. pull it out.

However, after some attempts, the sword in the stone still didn't move at all, let alone pulling it out, it was impossible to let it move.

In a blink of an eye, more than a dozen members of the royal family have tried, but there is still no progress.

Although this result was within everyone's expectations, everyone was inevitably a little disappointed when they saw it with their own eyes. Especially the high-level royal family sitting behind the curtain on the second floor of the manor, watching all this condescendingly, couldn't help but let out a soft sigh.

But at this time, Chen Fei squinted at the scene, and felt a little interest in his heart.

Because, he has been observing just now. Although these members of the common sense royal family do not have any great martial arts masters, they still have basic strength. The weakest members have the strength of the early stage of the prefecture level, and the strong members have even reached the realm of the heavenly level.

This kind of strength, among ordinary people, is definitely considered a master.

Under normal circumstances, if an iron sword is inserted into a rock, no prefecture-level master, but a mid-to-late Huang-level warrior with a little strength can pull out the sword.

But now, the sword in the stone is still motionless, it has to be said that it is a bit special.

Suddenly, cheers erupted from the crowd, waking Fade Chen up from his contemplation.

He looked up and found a strong man about thirty-four or fifteen years old standing out, and there was warm applause and discussion around him.

Seeing this, Fade Chen couldn't help showing curiosity, looked at Selena beside him, and asked aloud, "Who is that, is he so popular and powerful?"

Selena approached Fade Chen and explained to him in a low voice: "That is General Jobbury. He is a descendant of the royal family. Although his status is not as good as that of the eldest prince and the second prince, his grandfather was the younger brother of the king at that time. They are also royal blood relatives."

"More importantly, Jobbury has served in the army since he was eighteen years old. He has made great military exploits, is quite powerful, and has quite a reputation."

"Some people even say that if it weren't for the blood, Jobli would have the strength to compete with the current two princes."

"However, although it is almost impossible for Jobrey to compete for the throne, if he can draw the sword in the stone, it will be a great opportunity for him and his family to improve their status and prestige."

"And, last year, Jobry was also one of the few members of the royal family who performed best. Therefore, everyone is looking forward to him."

After listening to Selena's narration, Fade Chen nodded, and looked at Jobbury who appeared on the stage with great interest, "So that's it!"

At this time, the burly Jobbury walked up to the sword in the stone, his legs slightly separated, his shoulders shook slightly, and he exerted a slight force, allowing his feet to stand firmly on the ground.

Then, he stretched out his hands and grabbed the hilt of the sword in the stone. Then, exert strength with both arms, and began to pull out the sword in the stone forcefully.

The huge force made Jobli's arms bruised and his feet sink, slowly sinking into the dirt ground.

And the sword in the stone, which had not moved at all before, swayed slightly under the huge force of Jobbury.

Suddenly, the discussions and cheers in the courtyard became more enthusiastic.

Chombrey also seemed to be inspired, he gritted his teeth again and pulled out the sword in the stone.

Finally, the sword in the stone, which had been silent for a long time, unexpectedly showed a section upwards.

Immediately, the scene was silent, and then a burst of enthusiastic cheers broke out.

"Jobry, come on!"

"General Jobrey, well done!"

"As expected of General Jobbury, that's amazing."

………

Amidst the cheers, the sword in the stone was still slowly moving up, and the sword body was slowly exposed from the stone, which made people rejoice.

About ten centimeters away, Job's face was reddened, his thick arms were trembling, his jaw was bleeding slightly, and he wanted to try harder.

However, the sword in the stone could no longer move.

After a stalemate for more than ten seconds, Jobli finally couldn't hold on anymore. With his arms loosened, the sword in the stone was pulled out ten centimeters, and inserted into the stone again. It was exactly the same as the original state, as if nothing had happened. .

But at this moment, Jobli was holding his knees with his hands, breathing heavily, obviously very tired.

Although he failed to pull out the sword in the stone, Jobry's wonderful performance still won warm cheers from the scene.

Even the elders of the royal family behind the curtain on the second floor praised "Not bad".

Jobry took a breath for a while, then retreated, and the scene gradually became quiet.

Then, in the eyes of everyone, little princess Irene, wearing a beautiful tutu skirt, walked out from the crowd.

Seeing Princess Irene, the eyes of everyone at the scene couldn't help being attracted to her. Seeing the little princess's face as delicate as an angel, many people were fascinated.

Fade Chen was also slightly surprised, looked at Selena, and said, "Princess Irene wants to try too?"

Selena nodded and said: "No matter what the result is, as a member of the royal family, if you dare not even try, it is a bit unreasonable."

At this time, Irene had already arrived in front of the sword in the stone.

Compared to the sword in the stone inserted in the stone, Selena, who was just thirteen years old, seemed a little short in stature.

In order to hold the sword in the stone, she had to gently stand on tiptoe, then blushed pretty face, exerted a little strength, and began to pull out the sword in the stone.
