Chapter Seventy-Nine: Behind All Bad Things Is Merlin
"Huh? Scumbag? Rowe didn't know how Guinevere had come to this conclusion by looking at her twice, and he was still quite sure of the queen's tone. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Ah, yes, that's right, it's you, don't you have this realization?" Guinevere pointed to Messery behind Rowe and said: "This little girl is completely focused on you, but you are not interested in her at all, although you and another little girl are in love, but you don't care about the girl who cares about you at all, isn't this a scumbag?" ”
With an embarrassed expression on his face, Luo Wei didn't know what to say.
Miria and Messeri behind her were the same.
They all knew what Guinevere said, but they just kept silent.
Because if you say it to your face, the scene will be very embarrassing, just like now.
But Rowe was curious, how did she see this, needless to say that Guinevere hadn't spoken to them at all, just by looking at it twice, could she understand so many things?
So, the boy asked.
"How do you see that?"
Guinevere snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "I don't want to answer your question, I said, I don't bother to pay attention to a scumbag like you, I have more important things to deal with." ”
As she spoke, Guinevere turned her body to Mordred to the side, and the two looked at each other again, their eyes clashing with anger, and the invisible impact exploded in the air, allowing Rowe to clearly feel the smell of gunpowder in the air.
At this time, Merlin, who had been standing aside for a long time without speaking, stood up and eliminated the smell of gunpowder between the two.
"Hawkers, Queen, and Mordred, don't be like this for some trivial things, quarreling when you meet can only reflect a person's immaturity, I think whether it is the king's partner or the throne, it can't be handed over to an immature person, don't you say?"
Merlin's words directly eliminated their own hostility between the two who were originally-for-tat, and indeed as Merlin said, immature people cannot be the king's partner and inherit the throne, and this sentence happened to hit the thing that the two of them thought most about in their hearts, so the two who knew that they were immature also adjusted their state.
"Well, well, I was rude, Queen."
"Oh no, no, I'm going a little too far, I'm sorry Mordred."
The two treated each other politely, but I don't know how long this state can last.
So Luo Wei immediately suggested that at least leave this small basement first and go to the living room upstairs to talk.
Mordred, the closest to the stairs, turned to go upstairs first, while Guinevere turned around and grabbed X's arm and dragged her dynasty upstairs.
X threw a distressed look at Rowe, but Rowe could only shake his head.
He didn't have any idea of daring to compete with Queenie for her king.
X is helplessly pulled away by Queenie, and Merlin walks over and pats Rowe on the shoulder, then walks up the stairs.
Luo Wei understood what he meant, because the two people behind him were the most troublesome for Luo Wei.
Turning around, the three of them looked at each other, and after all of them looked at each other, they turned their heads, not knowing what to say.
Because of Gui Nivier's words just now, the relationship between the three of them has been completely put on the table, so it is very embarrassing.
Rovi knew that Guinevere was right, and although he cared about Messery, at best he felt that everything that Messelle had suffered was related to him, and he wanted to make amends to Messery with a little guilt; The woman he cares about is only Miria alone.
Messery, on the other hand, knew about the relationship between Rowe and Miria, but she couldn't let go of the concern in her heart for Rowe, and from the time he first saw the paper in the Clock Tower, he seemed to have determined the current situation, especially after fighting side by side with Rowe, she fell in love with Rowe even more.
For Miria, Messery is a suspected rival in love, because Rowe's attitude towards her makes the girl a little suspicious of whether Rowe also likes her, but Messery's weakness and suffering make her feel a little sympathetic, and the two feelings are mixed together, which causes Milia's tangled and complicated attitude towards Messery.
It's not true to say it's a triangle, because Rowe doesn't feel that way about Messery, and if he has to say it, it's a hybrid of unrequited love and two loves.
It's troublesome, it's tangled.
So we have to put this topic aside for now, as before, and leave it as if it doesn't exist for the time being.
"Let's go up first." After saying that, Luo Wei turned around and walked up, although it was not good to let Messery only let Miria take care of it, but he really didn't dare to make more moves now, otherwise Miria would definitely wonder if he really had feelings for Messery.
It's as if Queenie once suspected that King Arthur had a relationship with Morgan.
Walking up the stairs, the queen and the knight, who had just stopped for a while, began to quarrel again.
"What's wrong with holding the king's arm? I'm the queen, isn't that normal? ”
"The king is full of majesty, how can people embrace him casually? Not even the queen. ”
"There's something wrong with your thinking, after all, you're still a child, huh."
"Damn, even a queen can't insult a knight as a child! Are you a queen like that? ”
X was sandwiched between the two of them, listening to their argument, while Merlin sat on the couch opposite, although he had temporarily eased the relationship between the two just now, but now he couldn't get them to stop arguing.
Merlin and Rowe looked at each other, blinked, and motioned for Rowe to be given this important task.
He sighed helplessly, but Luo Wei did have a way to get them to stop arguing, but what would happen after that, Luo Wei didn't know.
Miria helped Messeri up the basement and sat down on the last couch, where all three couches were full, with only Rowe standing aside.
Rowe cleared his throat and interrupted their conversation before Genevae and Mordred could continue their argument.
"Tell me, Queen, who told you that Mordred was King Arthur's illegitimate son."
The sudden question, or such a secret thing, made Guinevere's eyes look at Luo Wei even more dissatisfied.
"I said scumbags, don't talk to me, and those who are qualified to talk to me must at least be knights."
Now in the eyes of Guinevere, Rowe is not even as good as Mordred, the illegitimate son of the king.
It's just that if you just follow the queen's words and stop asking, there will never be a result.
Luo Wei mustered up the courage to continue asking questions.
"Queen, this matter is very important, please tell us, if it weren't for the fact that you knew that Mordred was King Arthur.... Kid, I don't think I'm going to go with Lancelot .... Well, as far as we know, this incident indirectly led to the destruction of Camelot City, and if we can figure this out, then maybe we can know who wanted to destroy Camelot City at that time. ”
Rowe said this very objectively, to be honest, why did it happen that at that point in time, the news that Mordred was King Arthur's illegitimate son would spread, and it also reached the ears of the queen, Rowe felt that if it weren't for that, with the relationship between Guinevere and King Arthur described by people at that time, it would definitely not have had that relationship with Lancelot, even if it was a spiritual love.
However, Luo Wei still didn't dare to say such words as illegitimate children or cheating, although magicians like to call themselves nobles, Luo Wei has always regarded himself as an ordinary person, so he still doesn't dare to make a big deal in front of the former Queen Arthur.
Guinevere was silent, glaring at Rovi, the sensation of being pulled in her hand.
She turned her head and saw that X was holding her hand, her eyes were very serious, and she asked, "Guinevere, I want to know about this too." ”
Mordred was silent, and glanced at Rowe with some surprise.
What Rowe said, he never thought about it, although he was also very shocked when he heard from Morgan, his mother, that is, that he was the illegitimate son of King Arthur, but Mordred, who had always admired King Arthur very much, just felt like he had won some kind of honor.
He is actually the son of King Arthur, whom he admires the most?
Afterwards, Mordred went to King Arthur and asked him to pass the throne to him, but King Arthur rejected her on the grounds that she was an illegitimate child.
From then on, Mordred's worship of King Arthur gradually turned into hatred, which also led to a series of events later.
It's just that if this matter is not told to the world, then there will be no future destruction of Camelot City?
No one knows this.
The commissioned Guinevere had some confusion on her face, and it seemed that even her favorite king didn't seem to want to tell her what the truth was.
"Genevier." Calling her name again, X showed a very gentle expression, which made Luo Wei feel very novel.
Eventually, Queenelle sighed, pointed her finger forward, and said the name of the person who had spread the news.
"That's him, Merlin."
"Huh?" Rovi's eyes widened as he looked at Merlin.
So you're behind this?
"Merlin...."
"You guy?"
X and Mordred also looked at Merlin in disbelief, X was a little sad, and Mordred was more angry.
Merlin smiled and responded to the anger of the person on the other side.
"I'm just trying to destroy Camelot in a better way, otherwise it's a different ending altogether."
Saying something that is incomprehensible, probably no one can understand what Merlin means.
It's just that Rowe thought about Merlin's words for a while, and people say that he can foresee the future, which means that he has encountered a situation that is even more terrible than the Camelot that he is destroying in this way, so he has to do this?
"Merlin, if you have anything to say, say it now, you've already hidden enough." X has a serious face, even if a thousand years have passed, she has become a heroic spirit, but she still can't let go of Camelot's downfall.
"All right, my king, but I have one more thing to confess before I say this."
Merlin pointed to Mordred and said, "The birth of Mordred was also planned by me and Morgan, and I asked her to do it. ”
The even more shocking truth, uttered from Merlin's mouth, made the whole room fall silent.
Guinevere was a little sorry for breaking the news of Merlin, but now the whole person has completely turned into a look of anger.
"Merlin!"
She yelled, her eyes glaring at Merlin.
"Calm down, my queen, now that we have all become such beings, it is time for me to say all these things, and when I finish speaking, it is up to you to decide whether to accept it or not."
The room was quiet again, and since Merlin had said so, angry or sad, wait until he had told everything he was hiding before making a decision.
Merlin crossed his hands, paused slightly, and then began to explain his reasons for doing so.
"After I continued to practice magic and had this pair of clairvoyants who could foresee the future, the first thing I saw was about you." Merlin Finger X.
"At that time you were not yet born, and it was still the time of King Uther's reign, and I foresaw that you would be a great king, so I brokered King Uther's marriage contract with the queen, and they gave birth to you, and it was at that time that the future I foresaw was first branched out."
Merlin smiled bitterly.
"You were supposed to be a boy, but the moment the queen gave birth to you, the future I foresaw became two."
Hold out a finger.
"One, because of your gender, you can't inherit the throne, and in the end you can only live as an ordinary girl."
Hold out another finger.
"The other is that you became a knight, and after training, you inherited the throne, and finally became a great knight king. But there is a gap in the middle, that is, how you get the approval of the people, and how you decide to become a knight, this gap is something I can't predict, and I can only use my own method to complete this blank thing. ”
Lowe laughed, and he understood why there was such a ridiculous way of selection.
"Pull out Caliburn and convince the people that she is worthy of being king? So Merlin, what did you do? ”
"No, there isn't." Merlin shook his head. "Although I did prepare the Caliburn for the king, its function as a sword for choosing a king is indeed true, and it cannot be pulled up without the qualifications to become a king."
Luo Wei was puzzled and asked, "What if you don't pull it up?" ”
"How so." Merlin smiled and looked at Rovi. "She's the future Knight King, how could she not pull up Caliburn, this is a matter that has already been decided, and it will not change."
At this moment, what Merlin showed was his trust in the king, and he knew that his king would definitely be able to pull up the sword of choosing the king and gain the approval of the people.
"After that, I set out on a journey with the king and the knights, and spent a few years without a hitch, until the king ascended the throne, and the future I foresaw was unchanged. Later, when the king received the opinion of the people that it was time to marry a queen, the king began to attend various social balls, contact the princesses of the neighboring countries, and finally chose the current queen, Guinevere, to marry her as queen. ”
At this, Merlin's face became gloomy.
"On the day the king married the queen, the future I foresaw changed again, not to produce branches, but to give me a glimpse of the future of Camelot." Merlin paused, then put his hands on his head. "That's Camelot in ruins, because of the rebellion of the people, so the city of Camelot was destroyed, even if it has a powerful Knights of the Round Table, it can't withstand the power of the people's rebellion, it is better to lose the people, Camelot City and King Arthur themselves don't exist."
"How so?" X doesn't believe it, why is there such a future, that kind of thing is indeed much more terrible than the end of the destruction by the rebel knights.
The rebellion of the people, which means that they do not recognize Arthur as king, is far more terrible than the destruction caused by the rebellion of the bastards.
"Because, you and the queen are both women and are destined to be unable to have offspring, so the king's affairs as a woman will be known to the public sooner or later, and at that time, the people will suspect that what they have supported over the years is actually a woman as the king, at that time, it should be unthinkable, right? So they rebelled, branded the king they once recognized as a liar, and destroyed the city of Camelot. Merlin didn't say anything, but Rowe added the story.
According to historical records, King Arthur has always appeared as a male character, so Luo Wei guessed that Merlin must have always let King Arthur show people in men's clothes, and with the heavy knight armor, people can't distinguish between men and women, so they habitually regard King Arthur as a man.
It's just that if the king and queen have no offspring for a long time, sooner or later they will be discovered.
All you need to do is ask, "The king can't be a woman, right?" Such words are enough to discover the problems that existed in King Arthur.
When the time comes, it may come from the mouth of a maid or someone else, and the result will be rebellion and destruction of the people.
X was silent, Guinevere's eyes widened and she couldn't speak, while Mordred stole a glance at the two of them, not knowing what they were thinking.
If this is the future they face, it can be called hell.
Especially X, she worked tirelessly to become a qualified king before her death, if all this was denied by the people in the end.
How terrible it could be, unimaginable.
"But I tried many methods, but I couldn't find a way to get the king and queen to have offspring, and in the end, I could only find King Arthur's own sister and let Morgan give birth to Mordred."
"Wait a minute? Morgan is supposed to be a woman too, right? Why could King Arthur and his own sister have children, but not the queen? ”
There doesn't seem to be much difference between the two.
"Rovi, you should know I'm a descendant of Nightmares and Humans, right?" Merlin looked at Rowe, not without an explanation for his question. "How do you think nightmares and humans produce offspring? It is a descendant produced by some kind of magic, and this magic can only work on people who are related by blood, nightmares are creatures that parasitize human nightmares, in a sense, nightmares and parasitic humans are also blood relatives, so this magic can only have an effect on King Arthur and Morgan, but not on the queen. ”
I see, is that so? Then there is no way.
"But even so, people will not approve of an illegitimate child, and if Mordred competes for the throne in her own right, she will not be able to outperform the other Knights of the Round Table."
At this, Mordred looked displeased.
"Hey, what kind of nonsense are you talking about, my father can do it, why can't I do it?" Mordred was unhappy with Merlin's claims, as if he was no match for the other Knights of the Round Table.
"Because you worship your father, you will not have the heart to compete for the throne, and you will not compete with other knights of the Round Table because of the king's position, because you are also a knight."
Mordred was silent and pinned her head to the side.
Seem.... It was said to be right.
"That's why you have to be filled with hatred for the king, so that you will fight for the throne, and by the way, I will do some more work, so that there will be a second future, and the city of Camelot, which was destroyed by King Arthur's illegitimate son, is better than being overthrown by the people." Merlin smiled bitterly, finally lowered his head, and said the last sentence with some loss: "I don't have the ability to save Camelot, no matter what method is used, now this is the best ending, my king, please forgive me for my incompetence, this is the limit of what I can do." ”
The astonishing truth was laid out in front of everyone, and the room fell silent again.
It seems that behind every bad thing there is a shadow of Merlin.
But is it really wrong for him to do this?
Indeed, as he said, such a future seems to be the best.
It is better to let an illegitimate child destroy it than to destroy it because of the rebellion and suspicion of the people.
"So, everything I did in my birth and in the end is in your eyes?" Mordred asked in a low voice, not looking at Merlin.
"Yes, I planned it." Merlin nodded.
"Cut, why don't you die." Mordred got up from the couch, stomped up the stairs to the second-floor bedroom, and slammed the door shut.
Rowe sighed, he could feel the uncomfortable feeling in Mordred's heart now.
At this point, though, X stood up, walked around the table between the couches, and walked in front of Merlin.
"My king...."Merlin didn't look up, not knowing what she thought of herself, whether she would mock her incompetence or despise what she had done, but whatever the outcome, he could accept it.
"Lift up your head, my archmage." X's voice is very soft, and there is no special emotion contained in it, but it makes people unconsciously silent, wanting to listen to her quietly.
Merlin looked up and looked at X.
"I forgive you, Merlin, for your hard work."
"Wang ....."
Guinevere covered her mouth and looked at the king in front of her quietly.
Tolerance and forgiveness, a grand mind, this is the greatest charm that King Arthur had, and because of this, even if she is a woman, Guinevere is still deeply in love with her, so she will become King Arthur's queen.
Luo Wei didn't speak, he could feel Merlin's mood now.
The fait accompli in front of me, the feeling of powerlessness to change.
Even the legendary great magician has things that can't be done, and Luo Wei used to have that feeling, that feeling of powerlessness, so he can feel it, and now Merlin's mood is very uncomfortable.
"Okay, it's not early, let's go to bed early."
With that, Rowe followed Mordred's footsteps upstairs, down the stairs, and up to the attic.
Enough has happened today, and Rowe is tired.
