Camelot Dawn

up.Arthur, growing up in England, didn't you know that some magic is a one-time thing.

After a short break, Kai took the Sword in the Stone to the arena for the second round.While not as easy as the first round, it was clear that Kai was stronger than his opponent.The knight fell from his horse and was not crippled, so Kay came down to fight him on foot.After a few rounds, the opponent suddenly threw his weapon and fell to his knees with a plop.There was an uproar in the audience, the referee stopped the game, and there was a lot of discussion in the stands.Kai looked at the most conspicuous position in the stands through the mask. Under the golden tent, the great mage and Princess Megana sat at opposite ends, ignoring each other.Facing the scene on the field, Megana put on a cold expression, as if she didn't care at all; Merlin seemed a little nervous.

This is the first time Kay has seen this great mage.He was wearing a solemn black robe, and at first glance, he looked like a shadow.The black clothes made his complexion pale, and the great "mage Zhou" wore a kind of indifferent grace, the only thing that disrupted the overall coordination was the slightly frowning eyebrows in doubt.Kai knew that he was the one who announced the prophecy of The Sword in the Stone.

Very well, he thought, the man has been fooled, and the rest is easy.It's just...is Merlin really so easy to fool?

"Your Majesty." The knight kneeling on the ground took off his helmet and bowed his head respectfully.

Kai pulled out a mocking smile in his heart.He knew how absurd what he was doing and how small the chance of success was, but perhaps there was still a part of his youthful nature in him that kept him from stopping.Not so much for Arthur, but for himself.

There was another commotion inside and outside the stadium.The knight in front of him stood up and said loudly to the audience: "Ladies and gentlemen, don't be surprised. I am Aphes, the knight of the round table. I have participated in dozens of hours of guarding the sword in the stone. The appearance of that sword His appearance has long been deeply imprinted in my mind! Now, he is in the hands of this knight. It is not so much a coincidence as it is a gift from God to us: the destined virtuous king finally lived up to Camelot What I have been longing for so much has come to this world!"

Kai listened to his impassioned speech without saying a word, quietly clenched the sword in the stone.

The situation tended to become more chaotic, Merlin finally couldn't hold back, and stood up from his seat.

"Aphes, don't jump to conclusions." As soon as the indifferent voice sounded, all kinds of whispers on the field quickly subsided, "drawing" the sword in the stone requires the witness's guarantee, knight of the round table, you saw him draw the sword with your own eyes ?"

Aphes's enthusiasm cooled down by half, and he lowered his head: "No, big mage."

Merlin seemed to have expected this kind of answer, and lightly ordered: "Go and find the captain of the guard on duty, Brexis." Although the words were addressed to Aphes, his eyes kept falling on Kay.

Soon, another man in armor was brought to the arena. Merlin asked the same question again and got the same answer.After cross-examination, he turned to Kai: "I'm sorry, Knight Kai Ishilinka of Lundini, no one has witnessed you pulling out the Sword in the Stone with your own hands. I hope you will perform another miracle for us." The tone used was not a question at all, but an order.

Kai took off his helmet, and his low eyebrows covered up the sneer at the corner of his mouth: "I am willing to help you."

In the blink of an eye, everyone in the arena was moved by Merlin to the square where the stone platform was parked.Kai took the sword and stepped onto the stone platform, and the crowd automatically formed a circle around them.Merlin separated from the crowd and walked to the open space. He raised his head but remained unchanged: "Now, please insert the sword back into the crevice of the stone and pull it out again."

Kai inserted the sword a little into the crevice of the stone, and was about to pull it out again, when Merlin said, "Insert it to the end."

The sword then moved down again until it touched the hard stone.Kai pulled it out, but didn't pull it out.

There was another whispering buzz in the crowd, and Merlin had an expected look on his face, and asked mockingly, "Who pulled it out for you?"

"I don't think it's necessary to tell you," Kay said condescendingly with a wicked smile.

At this moment, a figure dashed up to the high platform and slapped Kai involuntarily.Kai turned his face back, and looked at Ector with a playful expression. "You still have the face to stand here! Come down quickly!" As he said, he dragged Kai off the high platform, left him aside, and turned to face Merlin, "Master, I'm here as promised." Behind him A few steps away was Arthur who hadn't figured out the situation yet.

Merlin nodded, smiled, walked around Hector and Kay towards Arthur. "Arthur, stand up."

Seeing him approaching, the people around Arthur retreated automatically, leaving the black-haired boy alone in place.Arthur turned his head to look at Merlin, whispered "Do we know each other?", and obediently stood on the high platform.

"Draw your sword." Merlin's tone was gentler than before, even a little relieved.

Arthur held the hilt of the sword with one hand, with a strange and confused look on his face, and easily pulled out the sword.Holding the sword, he still looked at Merlin with such a nonchalant expression, and there was an exclamation from the audience, and Merlin smiled at him amidst the exclamation and noisy whispers.He made Arthur draw the sword from the stone many times more, and the cheers finally became long-lasting.

"Your Majesty!" cried one, and then many others.In this simple age, a few people believed in power, and most people believed in God.The people here at this time, except for a very few people, believed that this was God's canonization of Arthur, so they accepted it without hesitation.Kay stood in the crowd, and the people on the left, right, front, and back were all cheering and celebrating, so he also made a smiley expression on himself.

Forgive me, Arthur, as your elder brother, I should not fail to give you great blessings; but it is also because I am your elder brother that I cannot give you cheers.

At this time, a huge cracking sound resounded over the square unexpectedly, and the cheers turned into exclamations. Kay saw lightning-like golden cracks appear on the church behind Arthur, bursting out burning sparks, and smashed into the square in an instant.

"Arthur, stay away!" Kay yelled and rushed out of the crowd to pull Arthur down, but before he could get close, a more dazzling white light filled his entire vision.

Merlin stood where he was, motionless, but raised his right hand.A dome-shaped arc of light spread out behind Arthur, expanding enough to block all falling stones.The fallen stones drowned the outlines in the dazzling white light, as if the black sins were reduced to nothingness under the pure holy light.Against the light, the black figure looked solitary and beautiful, and Kai, who had an angel's wings on his back at this time, would not feel out of harmony.The white light gently held Arthur in his arms, and then turned the huge stone into powder like water dissolving salt grains.The golden thunderbolt just now was nowhere to be seen. All Kai saw now was the grace and strength of Merlin raising his hand, as well as his mortal embarrassment that he couldn't open his eyes or move because of the strong light.The white light disappeared, Arthur removed the hand covering his head, and was as surprised as everyone in the square to find that nothing had changed, only a church was missing out of thin air.

Then, Merlin finally walked up to the high platform, knelt down on one knee facing the young man who still didn't look like a king, took the young man's right hand and kissed him.

"I am destined to be the king of the dawn of Camelot, and you are finally here."

Because of the close distance, Kai saw and heard the whole process clearly.Maybe they could have another relationship besides brothers, and that was this - imagining the scene of himself swearing allegiance to Arthur, the knight's mentality made him feel that maybe it wouldn't feel too bad.

Only, only, he was no longer his brother, he could no longer call him "Arthur" but only "Your Majesty", he could no longer be as near as he used to be, he could no longer share The soul of the same arc.It's just that while he belongs to him, he also belongs to everyone.

Which one is better and which one is worse?Kai has his own answer.

After the crowd dissipated, Ector left Kay behind and scolded him. What if Arthur found out that you had knocked me out and hid me in the tent and woke me up? He laughed and admitted his mistake and passed it by.

"Why, you still want to take Arthur's throne?" Hector asked.

"Cut, I don't even want that crap." Kai waved his hand disdainfully, and replied.

☆、Song of Twin Swords

【Down】

In the second year, Merlin announced to the world that Arthur was the son of Uther and Iglene, and he was the orthodox heir to the throne, and let Arthur be crowned in Camelot.The vassal states of Northern England immediately rebelled. Led by King Lott, eleven kings led by King Yulans of Gol and King of Nantes of Calaut announced that they would sever ties with the Pendragon Dynasty and unite with the King of Scotland in the north. Peroradis-Wessland and Arthur Merlin fought against each other.

At the beginning of the establishment of Camelot’s new regime, a group of officials were appointed, including Aphes, Brice, and Kay—this is the Chief Deacon and Minister of England appointed by Merlin, and Kay was glad that it was not Arthur— Wait a lot of people.As soon as the northern England rebellion raised its flag and had not yet reached a large scale, Arthur ordered an army to suppress it, aiming to defeat the enemies one by one before they could unite into a powerful force.At the same time, he also secretly summoned Kai, Aphes, and Bryces to cross the strait to seek reinforcements.

"There are three kings in Gaul, two of whom rule northern Gaul, namely King Ban and King Bul. Aphes and Bryces went to see them with credentials, persuaded them to send troops to support them, and promised to help them fight against The most powerful king of Gaul, Claudius - these have been written in the credentials. And Kai," Arthur said methodically, "after the envoys of the two kings of Gaul arrive, you will be in charge of their All matters concerning England and Wales, and advising them in times of war. All clear?"

Kay sat at the conference table and watched Arthur staring in a daze.It was only a year, and he hadn't seen Arthur much in this year, and he had transformed so completely when we saw him again.A year ago Arthur was still a young boy, and a year later he was a young monarch who was just showing his talents.Merlin taught him very well, and in one year he had a change that he hadn't been able to produce in 16 years with him.Kay is a little bit uncomfortable.

Maybe my obsession a year ago was really unnecessary, and Arthur was still living well, or even better, away from him.So, what does it matter if he is his brother?Arthur is fine, then he is fine.

The meeting was over, and Alfess and Bliss were leaving that same day.The last one to walk out of the stone hall was Merlin. He didn't speak much during the meeting, but just kept looking at Arthur, sometimes nodding in approval and sometimes thoughtfully, like a teacher evaluating his students.After walking out of the stone hall, Merlin and Arthur walked away along the corridor while talking. Kai watched them for a while, then walked in another direction alone.

Alfess and Bryshes were very efficient, and reinforcements came across the sea a week later.On the morning of the landing, Kai was waiting for them at the pier. When he vaguely saw the shadow of the boat, he felt that something was wrong. When the boat approached, he was even more startled.I saw Gaul's battleships slowly moving towards the mountains, hundreds of them are no problem.After the ship stopped, soldiers came down from above to form a neat phalanx. The flagship stopped at the nearest place to Kai. It was not soldiers but five people who were obviously higher in rank.Two of them are envoys sent by our own side, the other is obviously an attendant, and the remaining two, Kai looked at them, must be two generals, one master and one deputy.

He walked up to greet the older man: "Welcome to Britain, I am Chief Deacon Kay-Eshlinka, and I will convey his gratitude for your arrival on behalf of His Majesty the King."

"Mr. Chief Deacon is too serious," the middle-aged man replied politely. "The two countries are friendly countries and should help each other. I am Morrel Seth, the general of King Bur's Legion. It is my duty to serve you and His Majesty." pleasure."

King Buer's Legion?Kai looked at the army calmly, and even by looking at the uniforms, he knew that it was not sent by a country. Where did the leader of the king's army go?

"You might as well tell me your question, maybe I can help you answer it." Just as he was looking for it, a gorgeous voice came from Morrel's side. Kai followed the reputation and found that it was the blond lieutenant general.

"Can you tell me where the general sent by Ban Wang is?" Kai asked.

Unexpectedly, the blond young man laughed. Kai was wondering if he had said something wrong, when the other party stretched out his hand and said politely: "It's an honor to meet you, Your Excellency the Chief Deacon. I am the general of Ban Wang, and Lahad Nemove."

Kai's brain suddenly froze, and he shook Galahad's hand a little stiffly.While gripping and complaining, this general is too young, he is only 20 years old, when I was [-] years old, I was still dragging my brother all over the place... Tsk tsk.Looking at Galahad again, he became suspicious again, would such a person fight?I saw his blond hair tied behind his head with a ribbon, and the tail was slightly curved. His skin was so fair that he didn't look like a person who had been exposed to the wind and sun. His smile was gentle and light, and he didn't look like a soldier. How is it like a nobleman who has lived in an ivory tower for eight lifetimes.It's really unsettling the more you look at it!

Just as he was muttering in his heart, he heard a slight sigh in his ear: "Your Excellency, Chief Deacon, your disappointment is too obvious!" Kai came back to his senses, and was facing the slightly reproachful tourmaline eyes of Upper Galahad.

Kai hastened to make amends: "You misunderstood, I just saw that Your Excellency is young and promising, and I feel sorry for myself."

"The chief deacon is too modest, it frightens me. If you are willing to accompany me, why don't we have time to learn from each other." Galahad is also a master of talking in circles.Kay's understanding was that Galahad was unhappy with his slight and was ready to fight to settle the matter -- playing into his favor.

Just about to say yes, but was stopped by the attendant. "Your Excellency, Chief Deacon, please calm down," the brown-haired boy stared at him closely, his green eyes full of seriousness, "You can't beat my husband."

Kai almost spit out a mouthful of old blood, and he was completely despised by others before meeting him!Is it tolerable or unbearable, this fight will have to be fought if not fought!

As if feeling the violent movement within him, Morel put his hand on his arm. "The future will be long, Chief Deacon."

"..." Kai felt deeply powerless.

In the end, this one was not fought for the time being, and it was kept until the war.Kai really can't remember the course of the war. With the help of Gaul's powerful army, the course of the war was basically one-sided. The so-called war is actually more like a unilateral siege of a city.That's why Kai had time to "discuss" with Galahad in the gap after the victory, and then he was severely abused.Unwilling, he challenged again, and was abused many times.Later Kay found an excuse for himself. He was still a fledgling young man when he rebelled, but Galahad (actually Lancelot) had been running rampant on the European continent for decades (fortunately he still has the face Wearing the skin of a young man to cheat!), Jiang is still old and spicy, these words are not just words.

Because of his position, and because he had Galahad as his "playmate", Kai never returned to Camelot once after the war started.Of course he misses Arthur sometimes, but whenever he does, he immediately reminds himself of Merlin, Merlin saves Arthur, Merlin kisses Arthur's hand, Merlin and Arthur walk away side by side, and then tells himself, go back and see him It doesn't make sense either, because it won't stop him from missing, and it will prevent Merlin from teaching Arthur to be a wise king.If so, why go back?I would think that he was just because of the brotherhood for so many years, 16 years, how can I just forget it.It will be better if you leave him for a while.he told himself so.

Of course, he actually knew it clearly, and he knew it best when he was alone.

He didn't dare to go back because he was afraid that after meeting Arthur, he would miss Arthur even more.

After the war, the army entered King Lot's territory to rest, but he didn't say anything.Merlin originally asked him to pay high indemnities, but Arthur vetoed it because there was no reason to pay war indemnities in the civil war; Lott immediately climbed up after hearing this, and returned to Arthur's vassal state, and everyone was happy.Kai was very happy when he heard this, thinking that it was still my younger brother's style of talking and doing things.He has no reason not to attend this meeting. The previous meeting was in Camelot, and he said that he was on the front line; now that the meeting has been moved to the front line, he cannot escape.

After the meeting, Kay consciously stayed away from Arthur and the others, wondering where to be alone in the city.When he wandered around the old narrow streets, he was suddenly struck by a familiar voice: "Sure enough, after being a brother for a while, I understand you better. I can find you even when you go to such a remote place."

Seeing that it was Arthur, Kai put on a smile familiarly: "Of course, how can a kid who has been chasing after me for 16 years say that he can grow up when he grows up? Isn't that right, Your Majesty."

"You still remember that I have been your younger brother for 16 years," Arthur raised his eyebrows, "Then why have you avoided seeing me this year?"

"How dare I! The front line is just too busy." Kai said with a smile.

"How busy are you?" Arthur didn't buy it.

"As busy as you want." Kai continued to perfunctory.

"So busy that you have time to compete with that Gaul general to pass the time, but you don't have time to come back to see me?"

Kai couldn't stop laughing. "We are free because Galahad and the others are very capable and have taken care of everything; similarly, you have a Merlin over there, a Merlin equals all of us, isn't it the same whether I go back or not? "

"Who told you?" Arthur's voice turned cold.It's really not like him two years ago, the aura is completely different.Kai thought.

"It's based on hearsay and rumors," Kai waved his hands impatiently, "I don't want to talk anymore, I still have to rest. See you later, Your Majesty." Are you kidding me, it's his turn to talk about Merlin with Arthur, is it the end of the world? "Also," he thought for a while, and added, "I won't return to Camelot after withdrawing from here. The English minister's residence is in Lundinny, so I'll return to my hometown; chief deacon, you can hire another wise man." .You hang out with Merlin in Camelot, pay attention to your body, Your Majesty." After speaking, he smiled ambiguously, turned and left.

With a gust of wind behind him, Arthur didn't speak this time, but directly pulled Kai back with his hands.

"That's all I want to say, thank you for reminding me," Arthur pulled Kai back in front of him, those golden eyes seemed to lock Kai's actions, making him unable to break free, "I don't care which brain is squeezed by the door I chewed my tongue in front of you, but now listen carefully, my relationship with Merlin is normal, don't let me think about it. When you go back, you will stop being the Minister of England and stay in Camelot as my knight leader. By the way Identify the legendary wax gourd tofu."

Kai slapped Arthur's hand away, and said with a sneer, "Whatever you like to do has nothing to do with me. I'm not interested in watching. Thank you Your Majesty for staying, but I'd better go back to my hometown in Lundini. Your Majesty, goodbye and don't miss me." .” He quickly ran away from the conversation, slandering in his heart: How dare you let your brother and I come to “identify”?Arthur, you are too uncute, it’s useless to teach you!

But Arthur pulled him back again, and this time he didn't speak, but directly pulled Kay back into his arms, holding his head with his hand and letting him rest on his shoulder.When Kai fell into Arthur's arms, he clicked twice in his heart, thinking that the little kid had to look up to me two years ago, and now he is taller than me, how time flies.

"Don't call me Your Majesty like everyone else, call me Arthur, like before." The black-haired young man said helplessly.

In fact, he is no longer a child. Is it my fault to always selfishly treat him as the younger brother from before, Kai thought to himself.But he really misses the days when he could call him "Arthur" without hesitation, when they were special and the only one to each other.So now, he still allows himself to be called so presumptuously, does it mean that he still has privileges in his heart?So, which one is it?

bro.Without asking Arthur, he answered in his heart without permission.Brother is enough.

"Also, don't go to Londiny, stay in Camelot. I want to see you every day, brother." Arthur continued.

Sure enough, they are still brothers.Kai grinned grinningly in his heart, Arthur, you are still quite cute.call your name?All right, for the sake of your willingness to recognize me as a brother.Not going to Lundiny?Well, who wants to go so far away from where you are staying.To be the head of the Knights?Hey, just what I want.

Arthur, since I can never be the person closest to you, it is not bad for me to be your strongest backing and thickest stepping stone.

"Okay, I don't want to go, why are you so hypocritical Arthur. It's too deserted to walk around to the lively places in the center of the city." Kay pushed Arthur away, but Arthur laughed up.

Yes.And that's, actually, pretty good.

■

After Camelot unified England in 194, the daily construction of the kingdom was also on the right track.The Knights of the Round Table was founded in Uther's time, and in Arthur's hands he was going to carry it forward.The battle to defeat King Klaudus of Gaul spread the reputation of the Knights far and wide, and many outstanding knights crossed the sea to join, which strengthened the reputation of the Knights and formed a virtuous circle.Knights of the Round Table means the equality of the round table, everyone is equal, respects each other, overcomes difficulties together, and shares glory.The head of the Knights once said that the chief knight of the Knights of the Round Table does not have a crown or a scepter, but only a sword and faith.

After two years in the Knights of the Round Table, he was finally recognized as the chief knight by virtue of his strength. The titles of head and chief were combined in one person. It is conceivable that life must be very nourishing.During this period, he got acquainted with the son of Lott, the beautiful boy Gachris-Anthiros, and the two complained to each other when they had nothing to do, which became a big scene in the Knights.For Merlin, he was stingy with giving a little more attention. He went to the meeting when it should be held, and enjoyed face when drinking tea. That's all.

Under the indifference, Camelot's unique power mechanism was quietly formed. A stable power triangle was built between Arthur, Merlin and Kai. As the head of the Knights, Kai's responsibility was far from limited to the Knights. , he and Merlin are divided in half in the daily affairs of the kingdom, with clear and orderly responsibilities.Gachris summed it up as "one king with two phases, one light and one dark", which has been recognized by the vast majority of people.Merlin is a well-known prime minister, assisting Arthur to formulate policies and preside over various large-scale activities in the open; Kai is secretly exercising the same powers as the prime minister, ensuring the normal operation of various institutions in the kingdom.

Once when chatting with Gakhris, he laughed at himself and said, since Merlin has said all the beautiful and dreamy things, we can only do something to really support his castle in the air, you think so hahaha.

Gakhris patted his shoulder sincerely, the leader, it's not us, it's you.You are born to work hard, sorry.

■

Four years later, Arthur's sword in the stone was broken in a contest that "violated the knight's code".Merlin "just happened" to know that there was a place to get a high-end weapon that was not inferior to the sword in the stone, so he took Arthur there.

Before that Arthur didn't believe that there really was Avalon.

I saw that after sailing for a long time with the lonely sea in the fog, it slowly showed its true colors in the dense fog.A huge island appeared out of nowhere in the vast sea, and there were high mountains on the island, on which the entire Avalon was built.The street is laid spirally along the outline of the mountain, layer by layer, layer by layer, and the top is still shrouded in the lingering thick fog.If you stand at its feet, the most majestic palace in the world is willing to crawl down as an ant, and the most powerful hero in the world must also bow down and be a mortal.Its buildings are all white, shining like snow-capped mountains in the bright sunlight.The sea waves beat fiercely against the black reefs on the shore under their feet, but they were as weak as Avalon's skirt.

This is the legendary holy land, where heroic spirits return, life is eternal, fraternity and generosity, joy is boundless.It does not need a towering gate, it is already a palace of gods.

Arthur followed Merlin up the spiraling streets. The landscape on both sides of the street was no different from the world. He even had the illusion that he had returned to Camelot inadvertently. "It's nothing special." He whispered.

Merlin snorted in front, as if despising his superficiality: "You can find any fruit seller to do the trick, but remind in advance that the souls of warriors who died here cannot enter."

Arthur looked strangely at the people around him.

The two walked in silence for a while, one after the other, when a cheerful voice suddenly appeared in front of them: "You are safe, Archmage, I am so glad you are still alive!"

Merlin replied indifferently: "Thanks to the great housekeeper's concern, in order to come to Avalon to find you later, I will try my best to live longer."

It sounds like the other party is still a young girl, Merlin, what's your attitude?Arthur looked past Merlin and saw the true face of the girl in front of him.This person whom Merlin called "the butler" looked about the same age as Arthur, and was still on the tail of girlhood, but Arthur reckoned that at her real age, she could become mature.Dressed in a loose gown, she looked very refined, and she stood before them smiling.

The girl obviously saw Arthur, and she introduced herself with a smile: "Hello, Your Majesty Arthur, I am from Avalon... Well, the person in charge, my name is Dolores. It's an honor to meet you .” She bowed her knees and saluted... No, she stretched out her hand.

Arthur stared at the hand outstretched in front of his eyes for two seconds before realizing that he should kiss.When Dolores let go of her hand, Arthur clearly saw a hint of disgust in her eyes. "Your Majesty, you are not cute at all."

Arthur knelt down directly.He has never seen such a strange thing that said "It's an honor to meet you, Your Majesty" while reaching out for a kiss with an air of "Come on, you should be honored".

"Forget it, stop talking nonsense." Dolores opened the big thick book that she had been holding since she appeared, "Let's go up to see the lady." With the spell, a magic circle was drawn on the ground that just included the three people, and they were teleported to the place covered by thick fog at the top of Avalon in the blink of an eye.

After arriving at the ground, Arthur asked Merlin in a low voice: "That thing just now, so there is still a spell to be recited?" Normally, he would see Merlin use it with eyelids.

Merlin gave him a sideways look, and said in a low voice, "She has been in Avalon for so many years, and her magic level is about the same as yours." As we all know, Comrade Arthur is a king and a knight by side.

Dolores in front looked back with a bad expression: "Thank you for the compliment!"

Different from the street market below, which is close to the hustle and bustle of the world, the top of Avalon interprets the true meaning of "not eating fireworks".There is a wide lake at the top of the mountain, and the water of the lake is as green as a bronze mirror.On the shore of the lake grows ancient trees that resemble crouching dragons. The huge canopy covers the sky and the sun, and the climbing vines on the trunks have hideous patterns, just like the chains that lock the elves in English rural fairy tales.

"Sit down, Madam will be here soon." Dolores said and sat down on a rock first, staring at the lake with her chin resting on her hand.

Arthur had to wait quietly.After a while, he seemed to be hallucinated by the white mist in front of him, and vaguely heard the sound of someone talking and laughing. Logically speaking, the movement down the mountain could not be transmitted so far.With a flick of the head, there was nothing.

After a while, that voice appeared again, and he shook his head again, but did not expel it.He heard someone singing, and the female singer's voice was as ethereal as the white mist on the lake. He tried to distinguish the lyrics, but the harmonics were too complicated to hear clearly.The ethereal singing is interspersed with the voice of the conversation on the other side. The two parties in the conversation are a man and a woman, but their words are sometimes overshadowed by the singing, as if they are underwater.There are also vague figures flickering in the circling mist, and there seems to be contradictions in the unclear movements, but in the end everything is hidden in the blurred blue.Arthur was confused, but Dolores, who was separated from him by a person, suddenly stood up.

"Merlin," she said with a certain forbearance, "your arrival reminded her of those old sesame seeds and rotten millet. I advise you not to come again." After she finished speaking, she gave Merlin a resentful look. , flipping the book and reciting the mantra disappeared.

Arthur tentatively asked, "Wasn't that just now a hallucination?"

Merlin thought for a while before answering: "That's Avalon's own memory."

Well, explained is the same as not explained.Arthur shrugged and decided to just watch or not think about it from now on.At this time, someone waded in on the lake, but there was no sound or fluctuation, as if they were suspended above the water.Merlin stood up at last, and Arthur followed him.

The woman came to a stop in front of them through the fog, it was Lady Nimvey of the Lake.At this time, she was walking on the water as if walking on the ground, her long skirt spread out like a lotus leaf on the lake, and the skin exposed on her shoulders and neck was very pale.She bowed slightly to Arthur, and with the movement of her body, Dolores' long silver hair flowed down from her shoulders like pieces of silver.Then she looked at Merlin with those moist black eyes, and greeted him: "Be safe, Merlin."

Arthur felt a little messy, firstly because Dolores and Mrs. Lake had different attitudes towards him, so he didn't know where to put his position, and secondly because, Merlin, why do you know so many weird women? ? !

Merlin's attitude towards Mrs. Hu seemed much colder, he just nodded slightly and responded in a neutral manner.This made Arthur feel more and more that there was a story between him and Avalon that he had to tell.

Of course, now is not the time for storytelling.A sword rose from the center of the lake, and it landed in Nimuwei's hands smoothly.Nimuwei handed her both hands to Arthur, and Arthur took it out to look, the cold light on the sharp blade was exactly the same as Avalon's silver light from a distance. "Kaladepoga, the sword in the lake," Mrs. Lake explained leisurely, "keep the scabbard safe, it will keep you safe from harm."

Arthur looked at the scabbard, "Yes."

"When the time comes, return it to me in its entirety."

"……Um?"

Mrs. Lake only smiled this time. "Let's go." Her figure was once again wrapped in thick fog and disappeared.Arthur followed Merlin away, but he clearly heard Mrs. Lake continue to say in his ear: Caladpoga has a twin sword, which is Arondette forged in the same furnace as the Great Sacred Artifact.Arthur, you have too.

I?Arthur was puzzled: Although what he said was rambunctious, at least I could understand it...I don't know about twin swords, but if it's twins, I have my brother.

Mrs. Hu chuckled twice: It's not him, he can't affect your fate.

Hearing Mrs. Lake's words, Arthur suddenly felt a little heavy in his heart, and vague disappointment permeated the air.I don't know this man, he said.

Don't worry, let me tell you that Mrs. Hu's words are tinged with layers of inducement. These two swords with the attribute of holy artifacts will leave colored wounds after stabbing people.That person is the master of Arondette.Go to him and let him help you, not destroy you.

...oh, got it.He was perfunctory to Mrs. Lake.Then quietly added a sentence in a deeper consciousness: love so and so.
