367 End of life
It was Draco who began to discover that the Death Eaters were hunted down in the Muggle world, and he was now gradually taking over a lot of power from Voldemort, and he found that every once in a while Death Eaters were missing, and they were completely missing. The missing Death Eaters were wandering wizards who passed through the Muggle world on a daily basis, and according to the time, they disappeared from London.
Draco sensed that something was wrong, and when he told Voldemort about it, the man was a little unimpressed, and in his opinion, it was the Muggles who fought back, and they couldn't easily defeat the wizards. And as long as there are still Lestrades in the wizarding world, the British government will not be able to target them completely, unless McCroft accidentally steps down.
Anyway, Voldemort told Draco not to worry, the most important thing for them now was to start a small attack on Hogwarts.
Draco had no choice but to follow Voldemort's words, and he organized his men and began to prepare for the next attack.
Both the Death Eaters and the Druids were assigned to Draco's men, and Draco, the leader, was not so easy, because although the Druids were still at Draco's behest, they did disdain the other Death Eaters, who were simply incompetent wizards who were inferior to them in their eyes.
And many of the Death Eaters are pure-bloods, and they are naturally proud of their bloodline,
Proud of their magic, their arrogance is ingrained in their bones. So they couldn't tolerate the druids' attitude towards them at all, and even though they were ancient religions, they were still abandoned by Merlin.
The great Merlin was removed from the tribe by name.
They seemed to be on good terms now, but the secret intrigue gave Draco, the steward, a headache.
The hunt didn't stop, Draco told all the Death Eaters to leave London temporarily, not even to touch the Muggle world, there were wandering wizards who laughed at Draco's timidity, in their eyes Muggles were low-level creatures, how could they compare to themselves.
The disappearance still appeared, and Hogwarts completely blocked the news about Harry's awakening and the news that he had taken over everything.
Speaking of Merlin's search on the other side, after he and Arthur arrived in Avalon, the lake fairy told Merlin that they had nothing to do about it, and that Merlin had sealed himself up, so he had to unravel it himself.
Merlin had no choice but to stay in Avalon and think of a way, he returned to the druids, and the old and still druids who had not left were very happy about Merlin's return, and they asked Merlin about the people who had left, and no matter what kind of mistakes they had made, they all had a hint of anticipation, hoping that they would be able to turn back.
It's a pity that Merlin silently shook his head after they asked, "I'm sorry, but I can only say that even I can't do anything, they don't want to turn back at all." ”
Yes, Merlin may be a man of their faith, but what they crave more than Merlin is power.
The current Druid Matriarch shook his head, "It's not your fault, Lord Merlin, everyone has their own choices, and they should have known what awaits them when they leave Avalon." ”
Merlin bowed slightly to the patriarch, in fact, it was his fault, he did not lead the druids to a new world.
All the druids bowed to Merlin and Arthur, they respected the legends of these two people, Avalon was actually their home, maybe the outside world was very colorful but not for them.
"By the way, I heard that Azusa woke up, right?"
The druids nodded, yes, the ancient dragon who had been sleeping for many, many years had woken up from her slumber, and she had begun to forage for food and fly, but she had never left Avalon. Dragons are the only ancient creatures that can communicate with humans, possessing unrivaled intelligence and destructive power. Azusa was the last dragon, but she was already as old as Merlin.
"Arthur and I went to meet her."
Azusa's words...... The name was given to her by Merlin, but Azusa was not raised by Merlin's old friend, she grew up with Morgana, and for various reasons she had a great physical problem and almost became disabled.
After Morgana's death, Merlin walked around for a long time to find Azusa, who was so sensitive that she didn't look like an ancient dragon hiding in a cave at all, she was terrified. It was Merlin who tamed her and gave her a new lease of life, but it took almost a hundred years.
Merlin has spent a hundred years on Azusa, but Azusa is not too grateful, and her feelings for Morgana are not forgotten. But Merlin was something she couldn't let go, and she learned to speak with Merlin, and passed on her knowledge to the old dragon until they sent the penultimate dragon to death.
Merlin then says that she has grown up, and that he leaves Azusa to continue his journey.
Azusa wanted to follow Merlin, but don't refuse, Merlin said that she belonged to the ancient religion and belonged to Avalon, and that she was the king of Avalon's creatures than to follow her in her paradise.
Merlin had forgotten how many years had passed before he went to see Azusa,
Avalon was a sad place for him, and as long as he couldn't get close to him, he would rarely set foot in it. Azusa was getting older, and the beautiful and lively little white dragon had become calm and ...... Old.
Merlin talked to Azusa for a day before she fell asleep, Azusa mocked Merlin for being a monster, never old and immortal, and the druids above Avalon had changed generation after generation, but Merlin was still the same as when he first saw him, and time was really kind to him.
Azusa looked at the lake, and she knew who was sleeping in it.
Morgana, Arthur and Amoris were entangled for too long, and in the end, Morgana was left with only a lonely tombstone, Merlin lost his beloved, and Arthur fell into a slumber without time, it was all fate, maybe her encounter with Morgana and Merlin was also fate.
Merlin gently stroked Azusa's head, and he leaned on Azusa to join her to see where Arthur was sleeping.
It turned out that the last time they went to see Azusa was many years ago, Merlin and Arthur went hand in hand to the place where Azusa was sleeping, and now they were both in their twenties, and they still remembered each other.
"So Azusa is the white dragon next to Morgana?"
Merlin nodded, Morgana actually loves this dragon, otherwise she wouldn't have been with her all the time, but it was also because of Morgana's relationship that Azusa suffered so much, and little by little straightened her crooked bones, so that the scales that had fallen back up, each of which was a great pain for Azusa.
"Morgana ......"
Merlin held Arthur's hand tightly, those were all their fate, perhaps it was King Uther who did wrong in the first place.
The two of them saw Azusa in the cave, she was sleeping, breathing evenly but looking much older than the last time Merlin saw her, Merlin looked at Azusa and sighed, in fact, he was already considered to be the longest-lived among the dragons, but ...... In the long life of Merlin, it may be fleeting.
In fact, there is another reason why they came to see Azusa, that is, Merlin wants Azusa to leave Avalon temporarily to help him, if he can't find all his magic power for the time being, then with Azusa in charge, maybe the magic of the ancient religion will not dare to act rashly.
Wasn't it because of Azusa's slumber that they were able to escape?
"Azusa, I know you didn't sleep."
Merlin's voice sounded in the cave, he lit the candle in the cave, the white dragon opened one eye and looked at Merlin and Arthur in front of her, she raised her head and shook her head and said, "Merlin, long time no see." ”
Arthur looked up at Azusa, who had grown up since the last time they had met as a non-talking dragon.
When he saw Azusa, he thought of Morgana, his sister.
"Hello, Azusa."
"King Arthur? I'll tell you why Merlin came back, because you woke up from your slumber. ”
For thousands of years, Azusa had almost forgotten what Arthur looked like, and even Morgana's appearance was just a shadow, she just remembered the warmth of Morgana holding her.
Azusa laughed, "Merlin, you coward, you're finally back, aren't you?" ”
"No, I'm coming back this time for a reason."
Merlin rubbed Azusa's head, Azusa sniffed Merlin's body, "Your magic ......"
"That's a long story, I'm here for this."
Azusa waited with interest for Merlin to tell her story, so Merlin and Arthur had to find a place to sit, and Merlin began to tell Azusa about the recent events, about him and about his family.
Azusa looked at the two people with their fingers interlocked, in the memory of inheritance, Merlin and Arthur are two sides of the coin, neither of them can do without each other, they were destined to be half of each other, but they didn't expect that it would take thousands of years for the two to be together.
You see fate is really funny, isn't it?
"I'm sorry I declined your invitation, Merlin."
Maybe she would have longed for outside time before, but now she won't, the main thing is that her body no longer allows her to participate in any battles, and maybe the last ancient dragon in this world is about to disappear.
Merlin didn't say anything, he just touched Azusa's head, "Dear Azusa, I'd love to have you with me, and I've been doing it like that." ”
"Merlin, life has an end."
Merlin looked at Azusa and pursed her lips and said, "Yes...... There is an end. ”
One day, he will send off one of his beloved relatives with a young face, from Lestrade to Raven......
All life has an end, but Merlin doesn't know where his end is. 166 Reading Network
