The white-robed mage closed his eyes and raised the staff in his hand, the jewel on the tip of the staff shining brightly, as if opening a legendary book.
If there is anyone else in this world who can fully describe the legend of King Arthur, there will be no one else but Merlin, who has followed her since before she was born and has followed her through her life.
In the midst of the flowers, a tall white tower with a golden ornament at the top of the tower formed a room where a lonely magician lived.
He would often sit at the window of the room, and miraculously, the room had no way out except for this window, which was closed by an iron bar, no door, and nothing else, even the inside of the room, empty, except for the occasional small white animal that ran around the room, except for the lonely magician looking out of the tower.
The flowers that surrounded the tower were full of flowers, pink petals dancing in the breeze, and those flowers took up all of his vision, even looking at the edge of the island in the distance.
The sky seems to be an irregular puzzle, not just half and half, but a place where day and night are intertwined, like intertwined black and white squares, where the stars twinkle at night, and the clouds float during the day.
The reason for this landscape is actually very simple, this is not the real world, but the mezzanine between the surface of the world, and the sky is not infinitely extended, it has the existence of the edge, beyond the edge, is the undetectable void.
Beyond the edge of the island is the endless ocean, and the blue waves roll in the distance, and when they get close to the shore, they turn into waves and hit the beach, but no shells or shrimp and crabs are washed up, after all, those creatures do not exist in this world.
The legendary ideal hometown, Avalon.
Anyone who sees the beauty of this place will probably linger, but after looking at it for a long time, it will always feel bored, just like the lonely magician, who has long been accustomed to seeing the scenery here, no matter where his gaze is headed, the earth full of flowers, the wonderful sky or the blue sea, it is only boring.
He was whispering something, talking to himself, there was no one to communicate with him, if only the little animal could communicate with him from time to time, but when the magician began to tell the story, the little animal reluctantly ran into his arms, nested, and then closed his eyes, listened to what the magician said, took it as a lullaby, and gradually fell asleep.
"The sea within the stars, the lookout platform."
He told the story of the king, from the time he saw her birth to the first time they met, remembering that he was a small and lovely little girl who had a great ideal when he became a knight, and that he wanted to make Britain a perfect country, without strife, without war, without chaos, and where the people could live happily and well-being.
Her innocent but unyielding personality deeply touched the magician, but for some reason, the only future he could see was destruction?
The knight's journey is over, the little girl becomes the king, the people recognize her, the knights follow her, this is a thing to be happy about, the king thinks the same, but the future of destruction in the eyes of the magician has never changed, why in the end?
Perhaps, there was no queen, after all, the people were concerned not only about the king himself, but also about the king's descendants, and the future of Britain, so the magician proposed to the king that he should marry a queen - of course, he was not the first to propose, and many knights had already spoken to the king about it before.
No one knows about the king's daughter, except for the magician, and no matter how he dresses up, he can't hide the beauty of the king's woman, but if you add the magician's illusion, you can do it, and both the people and the knights think that the king is a man.
In the end, the king married the queen, and on the first night, the queen knew the king's identity, but she still loved the king. Or is it love? The magician doesn't understand, after all, he is not a simple human being, and he can't understand human feelings very thoroughly.
The future of destruction still did not disappear, of course, the king and the queen are both women, so it is naturally impossible to give birth to offspring, so the magician hid from the king, made peace with the king's own sister, and gave birth to the rebellious knight, thinking that even if the king had offspring, the future of destruction should disappear.
However, there is still none.
The magician couldn't figure out this, what was wrong with it? Finally, one day, he understood.
Maybe from the beginning, he did something wrong, casually changed the life of a young girl, so that she touched the future of destruction, originally, it should have been the result of someone else's face, even if it was the heir of the previous king, she as a daughter would never have had the opportunity to touch the throne, it was Merlin who changed all this.
The original king was innocent and pure, but the current king is a little more ruthless than it was then, and when the knight asked her for the right to inherit the throne, she decisively refused; When the news of the queen's affair with the Knights of the Round Table became known throughout the city, she was silent; When the knights demanded that the queen be burned at the stake, although distressed, she still nodded and agreed, maybe she was no longer the innocent girl she was when she first embarked on the knightly journey, and reality did not allow her to go on like that.
She is indeed the ideal king of the people, obedient to the will of the people, but just because of a hesitation, the people changed their opinion of her, and the cheating queen should be burned at the stake, but the king she hesitated.
This should be the only time that the king deviated from the ideal of the people, and also deviated from the hope that the Knights of the Round Table placed on the king.
Therefore, the rebellious knight was able to grasp the power of Camelot later with the rumors of the king's death, and a large number of people were willing to follow her and go to Camran to intercept the king.
If Merlin hadn't let her on this path to becoming a king in the first place, perhaps she would still be an innocent and happy girl now.
It was already a future that he was powerless to change, and even though he knew all this, he didn't need to tell them, just accept his fate.
As a punishment, this guy who changed the girl's life because of a whim, locked up in this isolated ideal country, the unchanging scenery and the closed tower, is the cage that imprisons him, and the rules of the world that cannot die are the punishment for him, and the magician gladly accepts this, and it is he who does all this.
"From the end of paradise I speak to you, and may your stories be blessed."
The story was told again, and the audience was only a small animal that had fallen asleep, and the sound of soft breathing reached his ears, and the magician laughed and sent the little animal out of the window.
"It's also time for you to find your own life."
The creature vanished, leaving the outer part of this world, leaving the mage alone to remain locked in.
He remembered the first time he saw the girl.
The blonde girl stood in the golden wheat field, wearing a long dress, simple and pure, the girl smiled, looked at the mage who came by, and asked kindly: "I am Artoria, who are you?" ā
"Only those who are white and flawless can pass."
Every time he released his Noble Phantasm, Merlin would always think of these past events, because he was not a servant summoned by the Holy Grail orthodoxy, so the Noble Phantasm released was not given by Valhalla, but completely by his own power.
In front of him, the shape of the tower had already been seen, although it was a transparent frame, but the height of the sky was indeed visible to everyone.
The grass is full of flowers, which is a fresh meadow, but at this moment, because of the addition of flowers, it has added a bit of enchanting color.
He appeared in this Holy Grail War, simply because he felt a little fluctuation from Caliburn, although he was a little disappointed when he first came to this world, but when he saw the king, he made up his mind that he would never make the same mistake again this time.
If I have to say anything, it is naturally a matter of amusement and assisting the king, and both are equally important.
He's been in the ideal country for too long, and it's time to get out and get some fresh air.
"Garden-of-Avalon has been permanently closed!"
The white tower appeared on the slope of the Sword Railing Hill, and the golden pavilion at the top exuded a dazzling light, although it was only a projected imitation, but it still carried an extraordinary power.
The sea of flowers began at the bottom of the tower and swept around, and in the blink of an eye, the hillside was covered with pink flowers, which surrounded Miria who had fallen to the ground, and the fragrance and some invisible force surrounded the girl.
Merlin looked over, the blood was covered in flowers, or rather disappeared, and the wounds on Miria's body were healing, and her face, which had been slightly pale from excessive blood loss, was gradually returning to its bloody color.
But the girl who woke up earlier was a girl lying on the ground in the distance.
Etnia coughed a few times and got up from the ground, her eyes wide under her cloak and looking at the scenery around her, could this be the legendary paradise? Flowers are blooming everywhere, are you already dead?
It wasn't until she saw the white-robed magician in the distance that she realized she wasn't dead.
A crack was created in the sky, and it was an enchantment set by Lenys, and because of the appearance of the tower, the barrier was broken and replaced by the enchantment that the tower had turned into.
The flowers stopped growing at the foot of the mountain, and Merlin knew that the battle here was not something that ordinary people should see, but it was only the beginning of the scene, and he knew very well what kind of damage the battle on the other side would cause, and it would never be possible to hide it by relying on Lyness's barrier alone.
āāāāāā
The Templar Church in Kamran was in disarray, and people were talking loudly about the sudden light on the slopes of Sword Railing Hill, and some people said that it was another beast attack, so run quickly.
However, some people used the excuse that nothing happened, and quieted these uncalm guys, and the two sides disagreed, and a few leaders fought violently, and the crowd was in chaos.
At this moment, the priest came and shouted, "Silence", and stopped the chaotic crowd and calmed them down.
"The threat of the beast has gone, and the light just now is God's will, God told me that the current Kamran is a place protected by God, and you can live here with peace of mind."
With that, the priest turned to the statue of God placed in the center of the church, bowed, recited the Holy Word, and offered his blessings.
Unconsciously, there were also people in the crowd who followed the priest to offer blessings, and this act was like the spread of a plague, and it was not long before everyone in the church offered their blessings to the gods.
Romil looked up at the hill of the sword railing in the distance, kissed the cross around his neck, and said in a voice that only he could hear.
"God willing, I will destroy the demons."
