Chapter 274 The British Royal Family
In this world, scholars who study European history always cannot avoid two names, one is the Holy Bishop and the other is Artoria.
The entire European history from 1,000 AD to 2,000 AD can be said to be the history of the struggle between these two forces.
Because the Knight King Artoria was born, he used iron and fire to forge the British Isles, which were still gangsters, pirates and fugitives at that time, into a powerful military empire.
For a thousand years, this pride that overwhelms the entire world (in the eyes of Europeans at that time, Europe was the entire world) has left Ireland without the opportunity to split independently.
Therefore, the United Kingdom in this world is composed of England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland, separated from the European continent by a strait and looked at each other.
In Europe, Britain has two completely different titles, one is called "Europe's Last Conscience" and the other is called "Europe's Stumbling Sticker".
The reason why Britain is called "Europe's last conscience" is because Britain often appears as a protector of a weak country. The British royal family has protected the weak kingdom more than once, protected the exiled princes, princesses, kings, and even helped these exiles restore their country more than once in European history, which has brought great reputation to the British royal family.
For thousands of years, Britain has gathered losers and exiles in the political struggle on the European continent. It is these people's thoughts that have burst out the sparks of the British Industrial Revolution.
The title of "European's Stumbling Sticker" is also the same. Every time Europe will have an overlord with absolute dominance, Britain will inevitably unite and win over a group of younger brothers to form an anti-hegemony alliance, and must ruin the unification of Europe.
This is related to the UK's consistent foreign policy of "continental balance". As an island country hanging outside the European continent, the UK is very reluctant to see a hegemon with absolute dominance appear on the European continent.
In history, any era when the hegemony appeared in Europe was when Britain was invaded and killed.
Roman invasion, German invasion, Danish invasion, Norman invasion.
Anyway, before 1,000 AD, the British Isles were famous European soft persimmons and garbage dumps. Anyone can come and go for a few things, grab some things, and exercise, which is good for physical and mental health.
This situation did not end until the first thousand AD - Artoria walked out of the lake of tranquility!
The original knight king was named Artoria. No one knew what her surname was. After all, she was just a descendant of a fleeing witch, not a nobleman with a surname. Who cares about her surname? Even as a civilian, she might not have a surname at all?
When Artoria overwhelmed and conquered the entire Europe, her name had become the surname inheritance of the British royal family. Who dared to say anything?
If the belief of modern European civilians is the Holy Bishop; then the belief of modern European aristocrats is Artoria.
(Of course, Artoria here does not refer to Lelani*Artoria, but to the first generation Artoria who brought up the banner of "God loves the world, God is not in the church, but in the hearts of each of us." She is the founder of Britain)
Of course, with the progress of the times, the power of traditional European aristocrats gradually declined, and emerging aristocrats as capitalists occupied the mainstream.
However, as long as people who still believe in blood inheritance and want to pass on their property and status to their descendants, whether traditional or emerging aristocrats, they will naturally stand on the side of the aristocrats.
It is precisely because of the support of these people that the British royal family can stand firm in the revolutionary wave of overthrow of dictatorship, but the implementation of a constitutional monarchy system avoided the revolutionary wave that swept across Europe three hundred years ago.
In that era, the great revolutionaries who had launched the civilian revolution and claimed that "everyone is equal and natural human rights" were eventually stolen by the so-called "emerging aristocrats". They were the first exiles who were exiled to America.
It is precisely because their thoughts were passed down in the Americas that they eventually brought Citi's free spirit and democratic ideas that their descendants finally established an emerging country without aristocratic oppression and full of vitality in this emerging hot land - Citi!
(Fatty man's mouth and humor version of history, don't put it on real history.)

The ship slowly sailed into the Thames River, and the white hull rolled across the deep blue river surface. Several seagulls chased the stern, diving from time to time, picking up some small fish that were knocked out by the propeller, and used as dinner.
"Ha, Yuanhe, look, that seagull is still following us!" Standing on the upper deck of the cruise ship, Sakura Kobayashi happily held her husband's hand and shouted.
She was talking about a seagull with a black spot on her wings. The seagull had once carried several pieces of bread in her hand.
"Well——, yes."
"Look, that's Big Ben?"
"Well——, yes."
"That's London Bridge?"
"Well——, yes."
"It looks very historical here! Why don't we go there and have a trip?"
"Okay." Yagyumoto and his family were not a person with a graceful bone in their past and later generations. In fact, he prefers to stay at home than to travel to scenic spots.
However, since I have arrived in the UK, my wife’s little wish is still necessary to satisfy.
"Sister Lailani can be our tour guide?"
"Hahaha-? Okay, leave it to me."
Lelani smiled a little guilty, just like Shanghai people often don’t go to Shanghai Disneyland. As the British Princess, she has been in various social activities since she walked out of the Lake of Quietness and has never visited her own scenic spots in the UK. Speaking of which, she is more familiar with the scenic spots in Tokyo.

The Port of Artoria in London is the largest passenger port in London.
“That’s—?”
"The royal convoy, are there any big shots coming today?"
"Didn't it be said in the news?"
A luxury convoy passed by, with the crown mark printed on the door. This is not the car logo, but a special mark for the British royal family (and also a common trademark for the royal brand).
"Great Sword Saint, welcome to London, the capital of the United Kingdom!"
Queen Corol wore a graceful and luxurious black dress and a crown on his head, and welcomed Yagyu Motoka with extremely solemn etiquette.
The world has initially entered the information age. During the week when the ship crossed the ocean, Yagyu Moto and the good things he did in Goguryeo were finally spread on a certain level.
After all, there were too many people and related forces witnessed at that time. Such important news could be blocked for a while but not for a lifetime. Perhaps no one was willing to let the news that Yagyu Moto and such people existed in the world spread widely, but as a force close to the national level, the British royal family had to care about such existences that could break the strategic balance.
So, today Corol took the stance to welcome the head of state to welcome Yagyu Motoka.
"Sister Corol, you don't have to be so polite." Looking at the reporters running all the way from afar, Yuki Motoka quickly interrupted Corol's diplomatic rhetoric: "Let's go quickly, I don't want to be watched like a cherished animal."
"Okay, please come with me." Colol personally led the way and led everyone to a RV. Behind them were the disappointed eyes of many reporters.
"Sister, why did you come to greet us in person today?" As soon as she got into the car, Lelani sat in a farther seat and asked. Her life area was harmful to Colol, so she naturally had to keep a distance.
"We, Yagyu Sword Saint, now, can enjoy the treatment of the head of state wherever we go." Corol explained.
"We have some videos here, you'll know when you look back and see them. However, he is so mighty, we're in trouble." Looking at the way Yagyu Motoka, Kobayashi Sakura and her sister chatting and laughing, Corol no longer held the queen's airs and leaned against her seat relaxedly, and said with a smile.
"What's wrong with sister?" Lelani asked.
"It's not that the great sword saint showed too much force in Goguryeo. Now, for the gambling game that you two fought again in November, the odds have completely reversed. Now, as long as you know this, no one is optimistic that you can win."
Colol said helplessly.
We had arranged a good arrangement and Yagyu Tomokazu was able to do his job well. We were about to wait for the two of us to go through a formality and the British royal family could make a fortune.
As a result, Yayoi Moto-he went to Goguryeo to make such a big fuss, which was simply overwhelming.
Yayoi Motoka is now so powerful, but in November, under the gaze of everyone, according to the private agreement between the two, after a fierce battle between Lailani and Yayoi Motoka, Yayoi Motoka will lose.
As a result, someone who was familiar with the matter saw that in Goguryeo, where was the gods and demons on earth who could destroy the army head-on and even cut off the mountains? This game is a completely fake fight!
Although the British royal family is a noble leader, this game involves a lot of gambling money, and they may not be able to buy the British royal family's accounts.
It will be troublesome if any scandal occurs at that time.
"Uh, this is a problem--" Yagyu Motoka was reminded by Colol and remembered this incident.
In Goguryeo, when he wanted to establish his authority in the world, how could Yagyu Motohe have the idea of hiding his weakness? Of course, he was doing his best to strive for both sound and light and effect, which made people feel invincible at first glance.
But if he fights against Lelani, he really doesn't think that if he has all his trump cards, Lelani will have some chance of winning.
Not to mention anything else, just a million sword lights swept across the sky, even if you can't match the Genesis of Lailani's journey, you can at least control the distance between the two. You will be invincible innately, and it is difficult for the flying dragon to lose.
"Ah?! Just for this?" Lelani asked in surprise.
"I said Nini, you haven't seen the real action of this great sword saint yet? You won't say that after you go back and watch the video."
Colol said helplessly that she knew that since she walked out of the Lake of Silence, she had never been defeated. (The Martial Soul Decision was promoted to a demigod, and was stuck, and it cannot be considered a real failure) It is understandable that she is so arrogant.
But after watching Yayoi Motoka's video information, even Colol didn't care about his sister.
"Hmph, I don't know anything else, but as long as I don't take action in the place of his manor, I'm not afraid of him elsewhere! Besides, sister, I'm also making progress. Have you ever seen me now taking full advantage of my efforts?"
"Yanyu Tomokazu, I will definitely give you a surprise when this fight!" Lelani said confidently.

The Round Table Temple in London, England is the main residence of the British royal family in London. This temple can basically be seen as Buckingham Palace in another world, but in this world, the British royal family is extremely powerful, so naturally there is no such thing as the Duke of Buckingham.
This temple has a long history and was built since the time of Artoria II. It has been expanded and repaired for hundreds of years to reach such a scale.
The twelve knights of the round table all left their own knight heritage here, and later every generation of real knights of the round table (referring to the round table knights with knight strength, which is different from the honorary knights of the round table who do not have knight strength but undertake the work of the round table knights) will leave their proud works here.
Therefore, in addition to being the British royal palace, it is also a holy place for knights in Europe. Knights who have never come here to study hard dare not say that they are real noble knights.
The Round Table Temple is divided into three parts. The front is the Knight Temple open to all European martial arts practitioners (of course, you need to charge money).
This includes two martial arts field, one is a martial arts field with horse paths for knights to learn skills; the other is a martial arts field with walking combat skills and basic physical training.
Of course, there is also a modern gym here, with the most scientific fitness equipment and the most professional fitness coaches, and a canteen providing special nutritional packages.
It is separated from this holy land of warriors. The center of the Round Table Temple is located at the British Royal Museum, where the knight heritage of the Round Table Knights of all generations is placed here.
Of course, in modern society, the cultural relics of these things are far more valuable than the secret martial arts skills.
In addition to the knight heritage of the round table knights, there are also countless armor, weapons, paintings, sculptures and other cultural relics displayed here, many of which came from the British colonial era, and many of them were plundered, collected and purchased from various colonies.
Well, there are also cultural relics from Japan, Goguryeo, and even Red Banners. However, in this world, even in the most prosperous era in Europe, there was no conquering the land in the East, so there was no large-scale plunder. Most of them were purchased and collected, and of course the quantity and quality were not that high.
These things are nominally private property of the British royal family, but even if the current Queen of England wants to use the things, they have to report to the royal management committee.
This is a preventive measure taken to avoid a prodigal son suddenly appearing in later generations and destroy the accumulated wealth of the royal family.
The royal management committee is usually chaired by the former Queen of England, and women with the surnames Artoria, Elizabeth and Elijah will automatically become members. In other words, this committee is actually composed of royal blood.
(In the British royal family, awakening more than four abilities - not including four abilities - can inherit the name of Artoria; awakening one abilities can inherit the name of Elizabeth. As for one abilities, if there is no awakening, then the only one abilities are surnamed Ilia. Girls surnamed Ilia do not have the right to inherit the throne.)
