Travel Notes of Wisteria Flowers

"Ah, you are finally here."

Merlin stood up holding his magic wand, he looked at Izeshan with a strange expression, and he was a little uncertain.

This is the end of the Sea of ​​Stars where Merlin imprisoned himself. In the distance is an endless sea of ​​flowers, and even a white tower suspended in mid-air. Everything is so familiar, as if it really is the place where Merlin has lived for hundreds of years. .

But in fact this is just a mirror image, a trap that Yi Zeshan asked the fairy in the lake to deliver to Merlin.

Izeshan's figure was like a hazy tulle, he turned his face slightly, as if he was listening to something, and then showed a warm smile.

"I know you are here, but I can't see you, and I can't hear your voice. We are in two worlds."

Izeshan said with a smile: "Many years ago, you told me that every kind of bug is a kind of rule. I should not understand them, but treat them as instinct. Thank you for reminding me."

When Merlin heard what Izeshan said, the corners of his mouth felt bitter, and he sighed: "You can appear here, it seems that poor Artoria has lost her father."

People who are obviously in two different spaces can communicate without any obstacles.

Izesugi continued: "Morgan's prophecy is indeed very powerful, Arthur came over at the last moment, I can only use all my strength to injure Vortigern, make him temporarily unable to chase Arthur, and take the opportunity to withdraw from that world .”

"Of course, I'm not worried about the future of Britain and Camelot. That's King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. They may have some convulsions on personal issues, but they are still very reliable in handling state affairs."

Speaking of this, Izesugi said with emphasis: "After all, he is a person who can reincarnate and has past memories, isn't he?"

The smile on Merlin's face froze. He laughed, feeling a little guilty: "So that's it. I thought I lied to you, but I didn't expect you to see it through."

So from the very beginning, did Izesugi know that Arturia and the Knights of the Round Table were reborn?

"You must be wondering how I guessed it?"

Izeshan explained: "There are two ancestors in my family. They are Indra and Asura. After thousands of years, these two brothers were reincarnated in our family in the form of Chakra. Indra took good care of me when he reincarnated. Uchiha Madara, Asura reincarnated into my elder brother Senju Hashirama, so the reincarnation you mentioned before... Hehe, I have seen the real version of reincarnation, and I know what the real reincarnation is."

Merlin understood this completely when he heard this, no wonder Izeshan's expression was a little weird at the time, but it's a pity that Merlin was busy reminiscing about the first season of the Round Table Civil War, and Izeshan's disguise was too good.

Merlin sighed: "Then what is it that traps me? I can feel that this is a plural rule. If I can't solve it together, I can't get out."

"After I realized that you had hoodwinked both of us in the middle, I thought it was time to teach you an impressive lesson."

Izeshan continued: "I thought over and over again, and finally decided to combine the abilities of Jingxing and Huihou, and then use my distorted King Uther's dominance to make a false shell, trapping you in the sea of ​​stars .”

"Actually, as I thought, your insight ability is very terrifying. Even if you are trapped by me, you can still block me from entering and exiting Britain's Inner Star Sea login space in an instant."

Izeshan shrugged: "So the current situation is that if you can't get out, I can't go back either."

Merlin's face was a bit subtle, although he was indeed successfully plotted by Izeshan, but this evenly matched state made him a little eager to try.

Merlin's tone was a little emotional: "When I first met you, you were not so powerful."

"Actually, if it weren't for your teaching over the years, I wouldn't have progressed to this level, so overall I'm very grateful to you, and I also got to know Morgan and Arthur, and Mordred is quite cute."

Izeshan even had a headache: "Your character of helping others and being hated by others is really worrying."

"But this is also normal. Even human beings with rich and delicate emotions are better at hating a person than strong and warm love. Human beings are best at discovering the shortcomings of others and ignoring the advantages of each other."

When Izeshan said this, he reminded Merlin: "If you still dare to appear in front of Arthur and Morgan, you will be beaten badly."

Merlin simply sat down: "Then you want to say that we should be so exhausted?"

Yi Zeshan changed his voice: "But I promised Arthur that I will always watch him, and I will never go back on my promise."

Merlin's heart moved, and Izeshan said: "My crow is handed over to you, do you know how to use it?"

Merlin pondered: "Are you going back?"

"I have slept in the Dark Continent for more than ten years, it's time to go back and take a look."

Izeshan talked about his future plans: "At the beginning that kid Kuroro said he would build a ship and set sail, I was worried that he would really go to the Dark Continent and dig the valley where I slept into a hole."

"By the way, take a break."

Izeshan touched his chin and said, "I also have some discoveries and I want to tell my uncle and the others."

For example, the [Wedge] of the Otsutsuki family, although it is only a vague feeling, but the people of the Otsukimoto family will go to the ninja world one day to find fault, this information still needs to be updated and shared with Senjujuma and Uchiha Spotted.

After hearing this, Merlin lifted his spirits: "So you just go back for a drive, and you will still go on a trip."

Although Izesugi never heard Merlin's answer, he still gave Merlin the answer he wanted: "After that...maybe try to travel to the planet? Speaking of which, I haven't been to Otsukimoto's home planet yet. .”

"Sounds interesting, just keep watching and maybe something interesting will happen to you."

Merlin cheered up, and he waved the wand in his hand: "Alright, alright, let's each take a step back."

On the other side, after noticing the loosening of the Xing Nei Hai, Izeshan felt relieved. He closed his eyes, and golden waves slowly emerged around him.

In the endless starry sky, the dark and viscous night shielded the gaze of the stars, a winding golden river appeared, and something [probe] out of the space.

As if the hazy watermarks were being wiped away, first the beautiful star-like fireworks flickered, and then the invisible and pitch-black things flashed past.

The light veins faded, the stars twinkled, and Yi Zeshan and Mei Lin appeared in the sea of ​​flowers at the same time.

Izeshan felt the free space fluctuations around him, and found that he could leave the Sea of ​​Stars at any time.

Merlin half-kneeled and stroked the pink flowers at his feet, tsk-tsk said: "I have watched the unchanging scenery for so long, and suddenly I feel that these flowers are still very delicate and beautiful, much more beautiful than the false mirror space you constructed."

Izeshan smiled slightly, he simply sat cross-legged on the ground, and asked Merlin with interest: "Am I doing well?"

"very perfect."

Merlin showed a hearty smile: "After I got the Rubik's Cube you gave me from the Fairy in the Lake, I thought it was a magic lock made by you at first. After opening the outer shell, the ugly rules you mentioned start to work."

That is a special rule. People who are caught by this kind of bug will be trapped in a twisted and spiral timeline, repeating one thing over and over again, and they will not realize that only 10 minutes have passed , and these 10 minutes have happened countless times.

If a person is hit by Huihou, he either assimilates with Huihou and becomes a part of Huihou, or spends countless reincarnations in Huihou.

If one day he wakes up by chance, for that person, it feels like 10 minutes will consume his whole life, which is a very terrible thing.

Merlin's reaction was extremely quick. When the time spiral progressed to the fourth encounter with the fairy in the lake in the oak forest, he realized the problem.

Although Merlin didn't have the "fourth" meeting cognition, in his subjective consciousness, this was just a walk and encounter after dinner, but it was derived from the intuition of danger of magical creatures, which made Merlin aware of the incongruity .

In view of the fact that the reason why the fairy in the lake was looking for Merlin was that King Uther sent a magic lock and named it to Merlin, so Merlin immediately wondered if this was a trap set by Izeshan.

Izeshan will set a trap for Merlin, which means that Arturia's thoughts and purpose have been completely exposed, so Merlin did not hesitate to materialize the sea of ​​flowers in the sea of ​​stars.

No matter what method Izeshan uses to trap him, once he is suppressed by a higher-level space, Merlin will definitely be able to escape from it.

However, Meilin didn't expect that there was a kind of insect hidden in the hut, Jing Xing.

It was a kind of worm that lived in the well, like a twinkling star. When Merlin manifested into the sea of ​​stars, the well star was like a mirror, simultaneously constructing a different space that was almost exactly the same.

Moreover, because Merlin itself is in the backyard, the speed of the appearance of the different space mirrored by Jing Xing is even faster than that of Merlin's incarnation of the inner sea of ​​stars.

After Merlin saw Xing Neihai, under the interference of the retro time spiral, he inevitably made a mistake in his judgment, thinking that the sea of ​​flowers in front of him was his own world, so he stepped in and couldn't get out completely.

But Merlin is not a good person. He realized that he had been tricked the moment he stepped in, so he did one thing, completely closed the space passage of Xing Nei Hai, so that Izeshan could not leave Xing Nei Hai, let alone Back to the hunter world.

This is what Izesugi said at first, the reason why Meilin can't get out and Izesugi can't go back.

In Jing Xing's different space, Meilin can see Izesugi, but Izesugi cannot see Meilin, and Izesugi can sense that Meilin is nearby, but Meilin's voice cannot reach Izesugi's ears.

The mirror image space and the real interstellar sea overlap to form a closed ring. Only when the two of them release their abilities at the same time can they return to the same space.

After hearing Merlin's feelings, Izeshan was in a great mood.

He said happily: "It seems that the new trick I developed works very well."

"But it's a bit difficult to display it."

Merlin pointed out sharply: "You can only be used as a trap, and cannot be used in battle."

Izeshan didn't take it seriously: "Although it's very small, there are indeed terrible rules in the worm's body. It's not something I can control now. It's good that I can use some of it."

Merlin looked at Yi Zeshan quietly, and he said abruptly, "Are you angry?"

Although Merlin's words were endless, Izeshan immediately understood what Merlin meant.

Izeshan said softly: "No, after I found out that you lied to me, before the emotion of getting angry appeared, I thought of you being beaten into a dog's head."

He was full of gloating: "Escape is not the solution to the problem, go, Almighty Archmage Merlin, I believe you can appease Arthur and Morgan."

Merlin: "..."

He sighed heavily, feeling that life, oh, no, it's too difficult for dream monsters to live.

Merlin knew that if he went back to Camelot now, he would definitely be hit by Arthur and Morgan in mixed doubles, so Merlin was scared!

He, he followed Yi Zeshan to the Dark Continent!

When Izesugi returned to his body and opened his eyes to see Merlin sitting beside a stone near the boundary sea and eating a strange fish, his heart was filled with six dots.

Izeshan's body was moistened by the land of the Dark Continent, and his breath became a little chaotic. After the return of Izeshan's soul, he was temporarily out of order.

A purer soul and a stronger body need a period of time to adjust, so Izeshan ignored Merlin who was trying to escape, but temporarily cultivated in the Dark Continent.

Merlin was not idle either, he started to make impersonation dresses.

Human beings are very difficult to replicate. Even artificial humans are blank dolls after they are produced. If the dolls have the same emotions as normal people, they have to wait for the artificial humans to comprehend them, and it will take a long time to wait.

Merlin intends to make a magic dress that simulates the personality of Izawa Sugi. This magic dress does not need to have strong power, as long as it says something at the right time.

So when Izeshan was perceiving nature and meditating on the power of heaven and earth, Merlin was making a dress beside him.

Merlin: Father, I'm tired.

Dress: Tired?You're King Arthur, you won't get tired.

Merlin heard the chubby intelligent voice AI, and said with a smile, "Ah, this response is not qualified, Uther wouldn't say that."

So Merlin continued to make adjustments. He recorded all the dialogues between Izeshan and Artoria, set up many speaking scenes, and tested again.

Merlin: Father, how am I doing?

Dress: Very good, as expected of my son.

Merlin: Father, will you leave my mother?

Dress: I'll always watch over you.

Merlin: Father, Sister Wang has troubled me again.

Dress: You are sisters, you must understand each other.

Merlin: Father, the Knights of the Round Table are fighting among themselves again.

Essence: Then kill them all.

Izesugi: "..."

Hearing this, although Izeshan's determination was extraordinary, he still lost to Merlin.

He opened his eyes unbearably, and glared at Merlin: "What kind of rubbish are you doing?"

Merlin said to Izeshan with a proud look: "I made it, the intelligent voice AI Shanbao, which can perfectly simulate your personality. When Al misses you, you can listen to the voice. How about it?"

Izeshan rolled his big eyes, and he said helplessly: "... Get rid of it, I won't say something like that!"

Merlin laughed: "Then let King Uther answer some questions."

The Shanbao made by Meilin is a ball as a whole, after being shrunk down, it just hangs on the crow's neck.

If Izeshan is free, he can use the crow to look at Arturia. Even if he does speak, he can use the reason of Shanbao's voice library update as a perfunctory excuse.

After hearing Merlin's plan, Izeshan was full of complaints, but he also admired Merlin: "You still plan to update the voice library!?"

Merlin nodded: "Yeah, after all, sometimes I don't know how to comfort Al. You are much better than me in this regard. Anyway, it won't take you too much time. Just take some time to record some voices."

After hearing this, Izeshan actually felt that Merlin's bad idea was quite good, and he couldn't help but said, "Then you can make one for Morgan as well."

Merlin smiled: "That's your daughter, it has nothing to do with me."

Izesugi clicked his tongue: "It seems that you hate Morgan very much."

Merlin shrugged: "I have a natural conflict with her."

Izesugi thought for a while, and decided to leave an energy crystal for Morgan. Morgan's temper is actually very irritable. Izesugi drew a spell in the energy crystal, which can help Morgan calm down.

After half a month of running-in, Izeshan's body and soul returned to the roundness and strength of the past. He also made an energy necklace and cooperated with Meilin to make a Shanbao.

Izesugi forced Meilin to change his name, it's too shameful to be called Shanbao!

Merlin: "How about being called Red Dragon Baby?"

Izawasugi pulled out his wand expressionlessly, and it turned into a big naginata with a swipe of the wand: "I understand, you want to fight, right?"

Merlin: "Oh! Stop it! I'm just an innocent magician! Don't slap me in the face!!"

After some fighting, Merlin babbled and ran away clutching his cheeks.

Izeshan ignored Merlin, he raised his hand and tore something in the air, and then a dark hole appeared.

At the beginning, he left his Humulus on Greedy Island, and at this moment, as a positioning, Izeshan returned directly from the Dark Continent to Greedy Island.

Looking at the unfamiliar yet familiar island, Izesugi smiled.

"Let's go home and have a big meal!"

On the other side, Merlin cautiously returned to Camelot.

The atmosphere in Camelot was very bad, tense and full of sadness at the same time. King Uther died in battle on the southeast coast, and King Arthur was elected as the new co-lord by the nobles and knights of Camelot.

Artoria expressed her willingness to be co-lord, but she hopes that the coronation ceremony will be postponed until next summer.

"Father's original plan was to fight Vortigern to the death in spring. I will fulfill my father's wish and go to war with King Bei in spring. I will return to Camelot with the laurels of victory, and the succession ceremony will be held at that time."

The Archbishop and the nobles couldn't help but look at each other when they heard Arturia say this.

Perhaps it was the pain of losing his father that made this young man grow up overnight. The archbishop who originally taught His Royal Highness was almost shocked to find that in just a few days, Arthur already possessed the demeanor and power of a king.

She seems to be a born king, and anyone who looks at her will involuntarily bow their heads to express their submission.

In the end, the archbishop agreed to Arthur's proposal on behalf of everyone.

Anyone who is not a fool can understand why Arthur did this. He wants to avenge his father, even if he dies.

The courtiers could understand Arthur's pain. After all, King Uther was a very good king. The courtiers and knights all felt the pain.

Such a human side made the courtiers feel pity, and made the courtiers of Camelot more and more flock and love the prince who wanted to avenge his father.

Camelot was united as one, and even though spring was still two months away, people from all over the country had been sending food and grass spontaneously, and the knights gathered on their own initiative, ready to go out at any time.

People's hearts are available.

Arturia constantly received information from all parties, received representatives of nobles from all over the country, accepted the loyalty of the knights, and coordinated the military supplies. Her mood was extremely complicated.

It was obviously a battle that put aside the righteousness of the country, and it was obviously her selfish desire to avenge her father, but the people of Britain supported her because they understood the grief of losing their father, and they had an emotional resonance with her.

In the past, Artoria demanded herself according to the king's standards. She did become a knight king admired by everyone, but she was also evaluated as ignorant of people's hearts, and even the country fell apart due to the civil strife in the knight order.

But now, Arturia showed her selfish side. She might not be a good king, but she was loved and supported by the people.

Can she still be called the King of Britain?

Of course she is!

To become a king is to have the love and support of the people first, not to demand yourself with strict standards because you want to become a king.

Arturia finally understood this point and understood people's hearts, but the price was too terrible and too painful.

Thinking of Morgan who is still in Avalon, Artoria is in pain and doesn't know how to face this sister Wang.

Morgan got the prophecy at the risk of being backlashed by the magic power, but he failed to save his father. Morgan must hate himself to death, right?

And the humble king Vortigern...

Artoria thought about what happened when she was just born. Vortigern raised her and was kind to her, but he killed Uther again, and had revenge for killing her father. She must defeat Vortigern, but ...

Ah, is that what Merlin wants her to understand?

People are such small and incompetent creatures, because they can never be perfect, there is always regret and helplessness in their lives, they have no chance to start over, they can only go on with the pain of regret...

Artoria has great strength and the ability to handle state affairs. She can be invincible on the battlefield, but she cannot save her father. She must defeat the enemy who raised her, and even her sister who lost her ally. She will be hated by her .

Such a life...

"Life is always very painful."

An unforgettable voice from Artoria sounded.

"A person who walks forward with pain, passes on a smile to the people, and leads them to continue to open up their lives, and who is loved and respected by the people will be called a king."

Arturia watched in surprise as Merlin, who had been missing for more than a month, suddenly jumped in from the window.

He held a crow on his arm, that, that used to be the familiar of the father! ?

At this moment, the crow tilted his head to look at him, and the voice belonging to his father continued.

"Arthur, I'll keep an eye on you."

Arturia got up subconsciously, and she carefully reached out to take the crow. She gently stroked the crow's wings and murmured, "This is it?"

"The familiar that your father left for you."

Merlin looked at the haggard Artoria, and said with some guilt: "He came to me before, hoping that I could make a magic dress. He has a lot to say to you, but he doesn't have enough time, so..."

"You can talk to the crow, and it can answer the questions in your mind."

Arturia stared blankly at the big crow, and she took a deep breath: "Father?"

Crow: "I'm here."

A thin mist appeared in Artoria's eyes, and she finally smiled: "Where have you been?"

Crow: "I have become a star in the sky, no matter day or night, I will watch you move forward."

The girl closed her eyes, tears streaming down her face.

Merlin heaved a sigh of relief, well, the appeasement was successful!

Arturia stroked the soft crow feathers, as if she was being coquettish, but also as if she was complaining, she said: "Merlin could have directly dreamed to remind you of the sneak attack, but he disappeared! He is too much!"

Crow: "I warned you a long time ago that Merlin is not human, so don't expect his help."

Artoria hugged the crow sadly: "I won't make the same mistake again, I'm so sad."

Crow: "Then hit Merlin, it makes people happy."

Arturia and Merlin fell silent at the same time.

Merlin: Oops!When was this recorded?Izesugi hurt me! !

Arturia let go of the crow, and the crow flew to the shelf next to her, and then the girl drew out her sworn sword of victory: "Father is right, Merlin, we haven't practiced for a long time, come, come, let's go train field!"
