The autumn light caressed, and colorful flags fluttered.
It was still a softly lit morning.
The border town in Essex County was already bustling.
Or rather, it had never been so lively before.
The news of the great sage Merlin conducting the King's selection ceremony here had spread, and the large square in front of the town's temple was already crowded with people.
Some even climbed onto the roofs of surrounding houses for a broader view, just to catch a glimpse of the extraordinary demeanor of the future king.
Countless renowned knights from all over Britannia gathered, their armor reflecting dazzling light under the sunlight, almost blinding the eyes of the residents.
People chatted animatedly about the King's selection ceremony.
No one worried about a sudden attack from Vortigern in such a gathering.
Because all the talented individuals from the entire island were now gathered here, and the numerous knights provided people with a sense of security.
Before them stood an impenetrable wall of Britannia.
Even the Vile King's armies would undoubtedly be defeated!
The pupils of the people shone with the light of anticipation, but also, out of fear that this expectation might be shattered, they held their breath deeply.
Suddenly, without any warning.
A myriad of petals fell from the sky.
The figure of the magus emerged from the shower of flowers.
"Merlin!"
An unexpected call echoed, and instantly, the crowd became noisy.
"It's Merlin! The great sage Merlin has really appeared!"
"Finally, is today the day we choose the King?"
The magus, walking out from the cluster of flowers, smiled gently, his violet eyes shining like exquisite gemstones.
And the incredibly handsome face brought by the mixed blood of incubus made the faces of the women around the square flush.
However, if one were observant.
They would notice a faint, almost imperceptible scar on the magician's right cheek.
Though not significant, it slightly marred his otherwise flawless beauty.
"Hello, everyone~ That's right, I am the magus of flowers everyone likes, Merlin!"
"The conditions for today's King selection ceremony are very simple, and any knight can participate! Even apprentice knights are treated equally!"
Standing in the square.
Merlin smiled while loudly announcing, once again stirring the crowd into fervent discussion.
Then, as if materializing from thin air, he produced a luxurious sword engraved with Celtic inscriptions from his hands. With both hands exerting force, he forcefully inserted it into the massive rock in front of the square.
"Whoever pulls out this sword shall be the King of Britannia!"
His words echoed and lingered.
The magus's figure then dispersed into the wind along with the fluttering petals.
Countless eager knights surged forward, hoping that they might be the chosen savior.
The square instantly became chaotic, and people wanted to rush to pull out the sword, even starting to shove and fight.
