Chapter 197 Guilty Crown 8
Chapter 197 Guilty Crown 8
Merlin found that Arthur was always acting weird recently. Before, Arthur always planned to provoke Ned Hogg when he didn't like Ned Hogg. Nid Hogg is a man of his word.However, Arthur's performance in the past few days made Merlin start to doubt whether his judgment was wrong.
Because, since he was with Arthur, he had never seen him slack off his knight training so much—not only did he not go to the daily morning exercises, but he also stopped bothering with the routine sparring.Ever since the battle with Ned Hogg, he has always been sitting in one place in a daze, secretly staring at other people, from Merlin to Morgana, then from Ned Hogg to Agnes, even those The knights who watched the competition between Shen Yan and Arthur that day couldn't help but mutter to themselves—they didn't meet each other during the competition, how did they beat Arthur so stupid?
Of course, no one dares to say this kind of thing, and compared to this kind of unreliable explanation, it is more accepted in the court now that Shen Yan won too neatly, so Arthur couldn't stand the blow It was only a momentary reaction.
King Uther is very open about this matter. In his words, if Arthur can't even bear this blow, then he is not his son, the prince of Camelot, and the whole Camelot. The future king.Therefore, King Uther just arranged for Gaius to check Arthur, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong with his body, he let it go.
However, although King Uther let go of his hand, Merlin was still worried.Although both he and Gaius have a certain understanding of magic, but if the opponent is Ned Hogg, Merlin's heart is a little bit uncertain. He is worried that Ned Hogg will break the contract and secretly lay a secret on Arthur. hand, so he couldn't help asking Arthur again and again if he felt any discomfort, any sense of disobedience, and tried his best to suggest that Arthur be vigilant against magic and be careful of Ned Hogg and Lucifer.
However, the answer to Merlin's inquiry was destined to be negative.Moreover, Merlin, who was always racking his brains to think about his own omissions, didn't notice that every time he asked or hinted, the corners of Arthur's mouth, which always had a wooden face, often twitched slightly imperceptibly. Down.
The reason why Arthur is always out of shape these days is not because he is still struggling with Merlin's magic, Morgana's hatred, or the identities of Shen Yan.It's because his brain seems to have been switched on in the past few days, and some things that he didn't notice in the past or things that haven't happened in the future always appear from time to time. Some of them are his memories, and some of them seem to be from the perspective of God. Watching a farce...
Oh, isn't it just a funny show?Arthur dismissed Merlin perfunctorily again, and immediately couldn't help but threw his head on the bed, buried his face in the quilt, let out a silent roar, and the tears in his eyes couldn't stop flowing down—how much was he? How stupid to have not discovered that Merlin can do magic for so many years? !
Yes, Arthur doesn't want to admit that the memories in his mind belong to him at all now, even if that person has the same appearance, identity, and personality as him, he will never admit that that idiot is him!After all, judging from what he saw now, Merlin had used magic to help him and Camelot more than once, but he always naively attributed it to his own strength or the help of others, but He had never thought of Merlin—just because in his impression, Merlin was always that country boy who couldn't even hold a sword steadily.
And what makes Arthur feel even more ashamed is that without this adventure, he might even develop towards the idiot in that memory - overly arrogant, blindly confident, self-righteous... Arthur even doubted whether he was How can he take on the responsibility of being the king of Camelot? Without the help of Merlin and the knights, only relying on his own willfulness, I'm afraid...
As the memory perfects, Arthur is not at all surprised to learn that Camelot fell apart shortly after his death.After all, even while he was alive his waywardness made Camelot show signs of decline, just another one blinded by so many successes and victories, so whether it was his own death or The demise of Camelot, these two things that were completely unacceptable in Arthur's eyes, now he can wait calmly.
After all, a bystander can see clearly from an outsider that he is only to blame for getting to that point. Without Merlin's assistance, Camelot might not even survive the day of his death, and would have collapsed in his hands. destroyed.Arthur could no longer think about the identities of Shen Yan and the others, because Merlin and Morgana were obviously more important to him. As for Gwen...
To be honest, Arthur really couldn't understand why he fell in love with Gwen in the first place?However, it seems that it is not important to pursue these now. Since they cannot get the love they want from each other, it is better to keep a distance.
And thinking of the scene in memory where Merlin secretly helped him time and time again, Arthur felt guilty and felt soft at the same time. Although Mordred was the murderer who killed him, he had his own part in rescuing Mordred in the first place. Besides, the existence of Merlin is enough to prove that not all magic is bad, they can obviously be used in more useful places!
After finally receiving and sorting out the memories from his other self, Arthur fell into deep thought again—even if he knew this, what should he do to avoid the tragedy in it?
This is obviously a very urgent and acute issue.
Moreover, what Arthur had to care about was whether it was the marriage between him and Gwen, or Merlin's right time and time again fooling everyone, or those unexpected events that pushed him forward step by step, You may not notice these things alone, but if you look at them together, it seems that there is an invisible hand behind all of them, constantly pushing them forward.On the contrary, the memories he got this time seemed to come from some unknown accident.
Different from those memories from the perspective of God, the part of the memory after death is presented in his memory from his own perspective. Merlin carried him to Avalon by boat, and he was put into a beautiful In the crystal coffin, surrounded by flowers, his appearance remained unchanged, just like a stranger.Merlin straightened the crown for him, and then fell asleep in front of his coffin.
He saw those lake banshees sent the sleeping Merlin into the black coffin, sank into the ground with magic, and then put the sword of the oath of victory into his body. The pain that burned his soul made him realize for the first time However, the banshee in the lake does not seem to be credible. The so-called sword of the oath of victory may not symbolize victory but the end.
Arthur couldn't help frowning and pondering, why did they do that?Without the help of the Banshee of the Lake, the Arthur in memory was far from being able to achieve that enviable achievement, but even if he achieved that achievement, they never asked him for any reward, and when he was about to When he reached the peak, he was sent to the riverside of death.Arthur couldn't understand, what exactly did they want in this way?
Arthur pondered for a long time, but he made a decision that even he himself found unreasonable—he wanted to ask those banshees of the lake directly.
Although in Arthur's memory, whether Merlin, Mordred or Kihara seems to be able to predict part of the future, he has an unknown intuition telling him that only the Banshee of the Lake can know the complete future. The truth, and he wants to know the truth.
Although he was still in awe of death, Arthur was no longer afraid at this time.He didn't want to see things come to the scene in his memory even more than death—he and Morgana were half-siblings, and he didn't want to turn against her, and he didn't want Kaka to be disturbed because of their dispute. Melot died; he loved his brother, his Merlin deeply, and he didn't want him to sleep with him one day, but his life and death would be uncertain.
Compared with these, the situation where he himself may face death seems to be less unacceptable.Humility, honor, sacrifice, bravery, compassion, honesty, justice, soul, although he is called the King of Knights, in fact many of his deeds violated the spirit of chivalry, and even if Arthur did it all over again, he could not guarantee that he would be the king of knights. He could do that, but, he thought, maybe he could at least be sacrificial and heroic.
So thinking that Arthur has already put on a full set of armor, put on a sword, put on a helmet, and with blazing flames in his eyes, he rode out of the city without saying a word.
When he stopped to dismount and the flames in his eyes cooled down slightly, he had already arrived at the lake where the banshee lived.
As Arthur walked slowly into the lake, dots of starlight gradually emerged on the surface of the lake, which was originally unattractive. Even in daylight, the whole lake was set off like a fairyland. Ser also felt that his body was also getting lighter little by little. He knew it was not because of the buoyancy of the water, but because his soul was being called by Avalon to get out of his body and get rid of the shackles of the body. , the soul is naturally as light as a feather.
However, just as Arthur expected, when he just saw the entrance of Avalon, he felt his body suddenly sank, and a huge wave suddenly rose from the calm lake, hitting him ashore, and all the visions disappeared suddenly. As if it never happened.But Arthur couldn't help showing a smile on his face: "Vivienne, don't you plan to meet me now that you're out? You will come to see me sooner or later, right?"
The entire forest was silent for a moment, a flickering spot of light rose from the lake, and Kong Ming's female voice sounded in Arthur's ear as if directly reflected into the lake in his heart: "Arthur, it's not time yet, you should leave here."
Arthur restrained his urge to leave as promised, and sneered, "It's not the time? Then can you tell me when is the time?"
The banshees in the lake obviously didn't expect that their magic would fail, and the lake fell into silence for a while.
However, at this moment, Arthur suddenly heard the sound of leaves rustling in the woods behind him, and then a sneer sounded: "They dare not tell, let me tell you for them--now is not the time, of course it is You will meet officially when you become King Arthur and lose the Sword in the Stone."
Arthur turned his head in surprise and saw Mei Lin, Shen Yan, Ye Ying and Feng Zi walking together from the woods behind him, but before he could ask why they were here, he heard the high-pitched voice of the banshee in the lake. Shouted: "Lucifer? Ned Hogg! Why are you here?!"
