Travel Notes of Wisteria Flowers

Merlin is a very smart being.

Even if he can't feel human emotions, Merlin can roughly infer the behavior patterns of most people, because he has seen too much.

When he thought of the bet he made with Yi Zeshan, and then looked at King Arthur with firm eyes in front of him, for a moment, Merlin seemed to have a vision of the future, and saw himself being violently beaten by King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table.

It will definitely hurt to death.

If he really lured King Arthur away at a critical moment, and let Izeshan, who was wearing the shell of King Uther, go to fight Vortigern, Arturia would definitely be extremely angry when the truth came out.

The corner of Merlin's mouth was rarely bitter, and he even began to think about breaking the contract.

But then he was in trouble again.

Can Yi Zeshan guess his breach of contract?

If it is said that Meilin has seen too much, so that he can roughly deduce the behavior patterns of ordinary people, then Izesugi has seen too thoroughly.

The world and people are transparent in Izesugi's eyes. He is also very good at understanding people's hearts, and can even change a person's beliefs and thoughts with just words.

Fortunately, Izeshan himself is in the camp of lawful good. If he goes astray, the consequences will be dire.

Merlin is rarely in a dilemma.

He cheated people all the year round, and on this day, he finally felt the feeling of being cheated.

Arturia in front of her was still waiting for Merlin's answer.

"Merlin?"

She looked straight at Merlin, and there seemed to be sparkles in the emerald green eyes, like the ripples of the moonlight on the lake. The blonde girl seemed very sure that Merlin would help her, and she never thought that Merlin would stand by and stand by. Even backstabbed her.

Merlin lowered his eyes, and he glanced at Kai and Mordred, hoping that the two tin cans that got in the way would roll aside first.

However, Kai put his hands on his chest and sneered: "Are you trying to lie to Al again?"

Mordred said bluntly: "We don't believe you, Merlin, what are you going to tell the king? Let's listen together."

Merlin looked sad: "Ah, is my reputation so low? Obviously I am a person who keeps my promises."

Mordred laughed: "Really? Where were you when I fought King Arthur in Camlan?"

Kai then stabbed the knife: "You were trapped in the oak forest by the magic of Vivienne, the fairy of the lake, and then completely retracted into Avalon. What do you want!?"

Merlin said nonchalantly, "Who made me so amiable, fairies like me, what can I do?"

He looked at Arturia seriously: "Arthur, you should understand that you can't defeat the humble king now."

Arturia inherited the throne at the age of 15 and became the king of Camelot. She didn't go to crusade against the humble king from the beginning.

She first took the time to go out and travel around, looking for many like-minded knights, and then Arturia repelled the surrounding lords and kings who invaded Camelot one after another, gathering some forces.

Afterwards, Arturia held the enthronement ceremony and became King Arthur, and fought in all directions in the name of the co-lord, subduing other kings and lords while constantly resisting foreign invasions.

Ten years and dozens of victories in battles not only made King Arthur's prestige in the sky, but also made her strength reach its peak. She was 25 years old that year.

That is, in this year, she led the most powerful knight army and stood in front of the humble king.

Now Artoria is only 13 years old, and even if she plays next year, she will only be 14 years old.

She has lost ten years, not only those knights who are her right-hand men are still in the growth stage, but her own strength is far from enough.

Merlin thought that Arturia understood her own shortcomings and would not make such an unwise move, so she was willing to bet with Izeshan.

However, it turns out that Merlin was wrong, and Izeshan won the bet.

Merlin looked at Arturia with a smile: "You want to stand in front of the humble king instead of King Uther, so tell me, how do you defeat the humble king? Or are you going to bring the knights of the round table who are shorter than the long sword?" Are you going to find King Bei to die?"

At this moment, Merlin's amethyst-like pupils were particularly penetrating, revealing an inhuman coldness and inorganic quality.

"Arthur Pendragon, have you forgotten your duties and obligations? Have you forgotten why you are pursuing the Holy Grail? Have you forgotten your purpose of coming back here?"

Arturia's breath choked.

"Ah? What what?"

Mordred felt that he had missed a few episodes: "What does it mean to replace King Uther and fight against the humble king?"

Kai was also a little puzzled: "Your Highness, are you going to have a decisive battle with King Bei? But King Uther is still here, you..."

Arturia closed her eyes, her usually confident and resolute face revealed sadness and pain, which shocked both Mordred and Kai.

"...You should all know that I have the blood of the red dragon, and the heart of the red dragon in my body belongs to my father. In fact, after my father gave me the heart, he would have died of exhaustion immediately."

Speaking of this, Arturia looked at Merlin, with suspicion flashing in her eyes: "Merlin, what did you do so that the father could barely survive? Since the father managed to stay, why can't he be kept alive?"

"You let him continue for more than ten years, what's the purpose?"

"Since you have let him continue for more than ten years, why can't you continue?"

"Of course I understand the weight on my shoulders, but my father's mission is over! He is free to choose his own future!"

Arturia said loudly: "The next thing is up to me. I can do it, and I have done it before. This time I will not repeat the same mistakes. If this is the case, if this is the case, father..."

"Because he is King Uther."

Merlin said without thinking, "When his mission is over, he has the right to freely choose to die."

Arturia's expression instantly became extremely ugly, as if she had been punched by someone.

Merlin said calmly: "I think, from now to next year, this will be the only free time in King Uther's life. Because of you, because you have grown up, he can do what he wants to do."

Arturia couldn't help covering her face with her hands.

She knows that as a king, she must remain calm and rational in front of her loyal and trusted knights, she must maintain the dignity and power of the king, she should always be confident, she should...

Ah ah ah ah ah--

The girl cried bitterly. It was a pain different from the country's collapse and endless guilt and remorse, but another pain that could not be described in words.

The pain pierced my heart, went deep into my bone marrow, and I couldn't bear it.

Artoria knew that Britain was destined to perish, and she had already made up her mind when she drew the sword from the stone.

However, when she clearly realized that her father was gradually approaching death, and even the time of death was fixed, Artoria found that she could not calmly accept this matter at all.

Yes, King Uther's death was doomed by fate, it was a matter of course, and she should accept it.

But why, why are you so unwilling?Why can't I let go, can't face this matter?

Obviously, the death of King Uther is similar to the death of Britain.

But before Artoria encountered all this, she couldn't imagine that her mood and emotions could completely overwhelm her reason and consciousness.

too painful.

Seeing Artoria's rare gaffe, Mordred was a little overwhelmed. Kai subconsciously wanted to hug his sister to comfort her, but he quickly realized.

Kai looked at Merlin: "...King Uther, is he dying?"

Mordred said in surprise: "Impossible? That's King Uther! The queen mother will go crazy!"

Even though Mordred didn't see Morgan very much, he also clearly understood the love and respect Morgan, who made her, had for King Uther.

If Morgan knew about this, what would she do?

Merlin looked at Artoria, who was losing her composure and suffering, and was slightly suffocated.

It was a picture he had never imagined.

Ah, I understand a little bit, Merlin thought, so it turns out that Izesugi is using himself to teach Artoria.

The biggest difference between humans and long-lived species is the perception of the time dimension.

Human beings are always repeating the process of gaining and losing in a limited and short time.

Izeshan let King Arthur get everything as King Uther, and then died as King Uther, making King Arthur lose the precious things he had obtained.

This process of gaining and losing will make King Arthur fully understand that human beings can give up everything if they want to pursue instant satisfaction.

What is the continuation of the country, what is the happiness of the people, what is the glory of Britain...

In front of a person's emotions, it is nothing at all.

As an ordinary person, it is only right and proper to pursue one's own tiny happiness.

At this moment, the crying girl is no longer King Arthur, she is just a poor daughter who is about to lose her father.

Merlin breathed a sigh of relief. He stared deeply at Arturia, and said after a long time: "I can't say anything to help you, because I don't see any hope for Britain. If you want to continue, go to Morgan first." Bar."

After struggling for a long time, Merlin still gave his own opinion: "If you can come up with a solution that satisfies me, I can consider switching positions."

After hearing this, Arturia raised her head suddenly, and tears ran across her beautiful eyes, making her look as if she was burning, dazzling: "Really?"

The next second, Artoria showed a bright smile: "That's it, I'll contact Sister Wang immediately!"

After speaking, Arturia left like a whirlwind.

Mordred looked at Merlin suspiciously: "You bastard, aren't you lying to the king?"

Merlin looked a little dazed, as if he had been hit by something.

After a long time, he covered his heart and said in an aria tone: "This Al is so cute, how could I refuse her?"

Then Merlin looked at Kai and Mordred: "If Al really wants to fight the humble king, you have to work hard.

"

Kai is very confident: "My strength has basically recovered."

Mordred was very depressed: "I, I..."

She couldn't say that her strength had returned to its peak, and she hadn't even gotten back her own sword.

Merlin looked at the two of them with a smile: "I am looking forward to your choices and decisions, so please do your best."

After speaking, he swept the two of them out.

Kai and Mordred were chased away, and Merlin entered the room.

He walked to the window and looked at the owl flying into the distance, which was Artoria's messenger to contact Morgan.

Merlin watched for a long time, and was about to close the curtains when several crows flew over in groups.

One of the crows dropped out of the group and landed in front of Merlin's window.

Izeshan's voice sounded: "Are you relenting?"

Merlin sighed: "It will be very frustrating to be your enemy, right? Your every move will be guessed by you, it's scary."

Izeshan was noncommittal, he didn't pierce Merlin's hesitation, but said ruthlessly: "Have you finished processing your documents? Send them over when they are finished. I have a new job here."

Merlin: "..."

Sure enough, let King Uther die, King Arthur will not let him be a social animal!
