The knight in the big world of American TV series

Chapter 14 The Encounter of Fate (please collect, please recommend)
Kay didn't expose the kid, at least not in broad daylight.This is Camelot, where magic is taboo and anyone involved in it dies.Even Kai was careful to hide the fact that he knew magic.So there's no need to get this kid into trouble.

There was no malice in this child, he was Arthur's friend, and Kay could see that when he got along with Arthur, he was closer to the kind of friend Kay remembered, rather than being submissive and respectful to Arthur like everyone else.Arthur needed such a friend.What's more, his name is Merlin.

So Kay quickly changed the subject.

"Merlin, the son of Hunis? This name is a woman, where is your father?" In this era, when introducing oneself to others, especially when it is more formal, they will always bring their father's name.For example, when Arthur introduces himself to others, he will say, Arthur, the son of Uther.This is not meant to show off, but a kind of frankness and solemnity.He represented that the introducer would not do something rude, because it would insult the dignity of his father.

Of course, if the family has a long history or there have been great figures in the family, this introduction will be longer, such as adding your own great-great-great-grandfather or something.But that's a bit of a show off.

But very few people will report their mother's name, and there is no such thing as equality between men and women in this era.

Kai also asked casually, which is a commonplace.Unexpectedly, Merlin suddenly became depressed.

"I... I don't have a father, I don't even know who my father is, and my mother never said that I was raised by my mother..."

Kai didn't expect that his own words would stab someone else's wound.So apologize quickly.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. I hope you can forgive me."

Kai comes from modern society anyway, so he doesn't care much about class differences, but Merlin is different.Although his talent makes him proud, he lives in this society and is bound to be bound by social rules. It is an unchangeable fact that his status is very different from Kai's.He is a commoner, while Kay is a nobleman and the adopted son of King Uther.He never thought that a big man like Kai would apologize to himself just because of a single sentence.

For such treatment, Merlin was a little at a loss for a while.

"My lord, no, no, no, you don't need to apologize, it's nothing, really, really..." Merlin blushed, and he felt that he was about to die of embarrassment.To be so clumsy in front of such a noble adult.

Kai looked at the anxious Merlin and smiled.He didn't continue this topic. After all, if he really wanted to continue, it was not an apology, but an embarrassment to the child.

"Your mother must be a great woman. She taught you well, Merlin. When you introduce yourself to others in the future, you can proudly wear your mother's name. It is not shameful. On the contrary, you should be proud You have such a mother."

Kay is not being polite.Even in modern society, it is not easy for a single mother to raise a child independently, let alone in BC.The people here are undeveloped, extremely backward and ignorant.A widow, or a widow who gave birth to a child with a man of unknown origin, one can imagine how it will be.There is a lot of gossip in front of the widow's door, and it's not just a Chinese saying. This kind of thing happens in every era and every region.

But even so, this Ms. Hunis still brought up Merlin, and she seemed to be doing well.This is even more commendable.For such a lady, Kay pays respect from the bottom of her heart.

Merlin, who was still at a loss just now, immediately smiled like a child when he heard Kai praise his mother so sincerely, a little shy and proud.He was indeed proud of his mother.She worked hard to raise herself alone, and at the same time taught herself the principles of being a human being. Why should Merlin not be proud of it?
"Thank you, Sir Kay. If Hunis knows that a nobleman like you has praised her so much, she will be very happy."

Kai smiled, noncommittal.Although he has never met this lady, Ke Kai knows very well that the happiest thing about this lady is definitely not her own praise, but her child being recognized and praised by others. This is what a mother hopes and is most proud of thing.

This can be seen from the fact that Hunis sent a commoner Merlin to Gaius's side as an apprentice. This is not a short-sighted woman.

After a few more conversations with Merlin about his mother, Kay asked Merlin how on earth he and Arthur met and became friends.

"Oh! You said this..." Then Merlin described their encounter vividly.

A few months ago, Merlin came to Gaius, the royal pharmacist, as an apprentice with a letter from his mother. It went smoothly at first, and Gaius liked Merlin very much because of Hunis.Merlin himself was smart and kind, and was easily recognized by others, until he ran into Arthur who was making troubles in the city on the way to deliver medicine again.

Arthur is not an obedient child. Like all energetic children, he likes to play around to vent his energy that has no place to rest.So Arthur often does things like bullying people. Of course, Arthur is not the kind of second-generation ancestor who does all kinds of evil. He just likes to be lively, but his hands are well-known.He just took it more for fun, so the people in the city didn't have much ill feeling towards Arthur.

It's just a child's nonsense, who would take it seriously?

But Merlin didn't know, so when Arthur bullied someone, Merlin stood up.He was not afraid of Arthur, and even choked Arthur severely with harsh words, although he himself was immediately suppressed by Arthur, and locked in the square for people to throw him with rotten leaves.

This is considered to have formed a beam with Arthur.

Afterwards, the two encountered each other twice, each time Merlin Zuibao gained the upper hand, and was then suppressed by Arthur by force.Until the last time, Arthur directly asked Merlin to take up arms, and the two sides wanted to settle their grievances.

In fact, it was Merlin's sharp words that made Arthur extremely upset, and he planned to beat him upright.

The process of the competition was very tortuous. In Merlin's narration, Merlin relied on his own wisdom to turn Arthur around.But Arthur complained, it was just his bad luck, every time he planned to attack Merlin, his weapon was either stuck in some strange place, or he tripped over something.

However, the result was still the same as before, and Merlin was defeated again.But this time Arthur was not punishing him, but felt that Merlin had extraordinary courage, so the two fell in love with each other for the first time.

Later, in order to avenge her son whose head was beheaded by King Uther, a witch tried to sneak into the palace and kill Arthur, so that King Uther could experience the pain of losing his son.As a result, under Merlin's mistaken collision, the witch's plot was destroyed and Arthur's life was saved.

In order to reward Merlin, King Uther made Merlin one of Arthur's attendants.This also started the friendship between the two.

"Oh?" Kayla made a long sound, squinting her eyes and looking at Arthur who was already dripping with sweat.It's not tiring, it's scary!

Sometimes, Kai has to sigh, it really is King Arthur who is teleporting, his talent is so enviable.After being tossed so hard by Kai, he still survived. You must know that Kai’s method originated from a movie of Cheng Long that he watched in his previous life. In the movie, Cheng Long relied on this training method that is impossible in reality to achieve Learn peerless martial arts and fight against the villain's big boss.

But this kind of nonsense training method was not difficult for Arthur. Although Arthur was really hard at the beginning, he actually resisted later.By now, he was actually a little bit used to it.

But now being looked at by Kai like this, Arthur felt that his whole life was exhausting.
