The two of them were also shocked and screamed when they came to Chrissy! In the depths of this forest, there is a European-style manor! Neat bamboo rakes surround it, and behind the small pine door is a clean cobblestone path that leads to the manor gate. Both sides of the road are planted with blooming flowers and plants, and there is a huge stone tea table at the gate of the manor, and there are four rattan chairs next to the tea table. There is also a wooden deck chair under this large banyan tree, which needs to be embraced by two people. The manor house was now made of neat stone bricks, only two storeys high, and the glazed tile roof shone in the sun. Coffee tables, forests, manors, everything seems to have come to a fairy tale!

The three of them were stunned for several minutes before they barely came back to their senses. Chrissy stepped forward and shouted, "Is there anyone, please?" ”

After shouting several times in a row, there was no response, and several people had no choice but to push open the small door of the plow rake and walk in.

Bruce wanted to push open the gate of the manor directly, but was stopped by Chrissy: "Bruce, it's rude for us to enter the yard without permission, how can we enter someone's house without permission?" After speaking, he knocked lightly on the door and asked, "Is there anyone inside?" We're lost in the forest, can we go in and take a break? ”

Bruce pouted, he didn't think there would be anyone in the house. But the opposite was true, and in a few moments the door opened from within, and a bearded old man in a linen robe and a broad pointed hat stepped out of it. Seeing the three of them, he was not surprised at all, and said to the three with a smile: "You are finally here." ”

Chrissy exclaimed with her mouth slightly open, "You know us?" ”

The old man shook his head slightly, stretched out his hand and pointed to the rattan chair under the banyan tree and said, "You have come from afar, you are tired, let's go over there and sit down and talk." ”

The four of them sat down under the tree, and the old man explained, "I am here to wait for you what was predestined when you came. ”

Chrissy exclaimed again: "Are you the white-bearded grandfather who is necessary for the legendary protagonist?" ”

The old man smiled and nodded, "You're not wrong to think so. ”

Ned was also a little excited: "Grandpa, my name is Ned Leeds, this is Jones Doyle, this is Chrissy Coleman, and I am my girlfriend. Can you tell us your name? ”

The old man smiled and said, "The name, I haven't used it for a long time, I want to think about it." People used to call me Merlin, but I can't remember what my last name was. ”

Chrissy jumped to her feet and screamed excitedly, "Merlin Ambrosius! Legendary Mage! King Arthur's mentor and best friend! ”

Merlin nodded again: "Well, I remember, it's the name, it was more than a hundred years ago, I didn't expect you to know." ”

Bruce was also excited: "Grandpa Merlin, your legendary deeds are known to the world!" You are the one I adore the most! ”

Merlin: "Hehe, it's just a false name, by the way, shouldn't you be five people?" Why are you three here? ”

Ned explained, "Jones and Anna went to the city to find out, and the three of us didn't know the language, so we stayed in the forest. ”

"I see, then I won't wait for them, I'll explain the cause and effect to you first." After Merlin finished speaking, the sleeves of his robe waved on the tea table, and four cups of fragrant flower tea appeared in front of everyone, with a plate of fruit and a plate of pastries in the middle. "This is my own flower tea and self-made pastries, see if it suits your taste."

The three of them saw that the pastry's eyes were green, and after thanking them, they snatched the pastry like a tiger. A plate of pastries didn't last a minute before disappearing without a trace.

Merlin dotingly watched the three little guys grab food, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the pastries are enough." The sleeve of the robe flicked again on the table, and six pastries appeared again on the empty plate. The three of them cheered and struck again... Merlin conjured up four plates of pastries in a row to barely feed the three little ones.

Chriss, Ned, and Bruce leaned back in a wicker chair and burped comfortably. The great satisfaction caused the three of them to completely let their guard down on Merlin.

Merlin waited for them to finish before he said, "More than a hundred years ago, after Arthur and the traitor Mordred had perished, I left the castle of Tintagel and returned here. This is where I met Arthur's father, Eusahim, and it is also the place where I practiced. ”

Merlin paused and continued: "After Arthur's death, England was divided again to form the current Seven Kingdoms Rivalry pattern. After Arthur's death, I returned disheartened, thinking that I would never be in the world again. But that night I had a dream, I dreamed that in the future, five young people would cross the bridge of time and come to me, they were smart and brave, they were the ones who ended the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms! And I need to be their guide, to help and guide them in their mission to unify England! ”

Bruce, Ned, and Chrissy listened excitedly. Chrissy was the first to hold back: "Grandpa Merlin, the five people you said are referring to us!" It's a pity that there are three of us. ”

Merlin smiled, "It's okay, when they come back, bring them over." Don't you doubt what I'm saying at all? ”

Chrissy and Ned looked at each other, and Ned smiled at him and nodded. Chrissy immediately replied excitedly: "No, we are college students from the 21st century, and we have crossed over here for some unknown reason." As you said, we came here across the bridge of time. Besides, we speak standard English and there is a big difference between English and today, but the fact that you can communicate with us speaks for itself! ”

Ned and Bruce agreed. Merlin smiled even more happily: "You are much smarter than Arthur, that bastard boy I grew up watching, but he was always wary of me, and later became a king, and even more distrustful of me!" If he heeds my admonition and does not go his own way in search of the Holy Grail, he will not die! Huh! ”

Chrissy raised her hand and asked, "Grandpa Merlin, I have a question, is it true that the legend of King Arthur had a magical golden sword?" ”

Merlin: "Oh, you said the sword of kings, that sword does exist, and after Arthur's death, I put it back in the lake of fairies." ”

Bruce also asked, "So does the sword in the stone also exist?" ”

Merlin nodded again: "That one, I forged it by imitating the king's sword, it's in the house, I'll take you to see it later." ”

Chrissy was even more excited: "Grandpa Merlin, is it also true that 'the one who pulls out the sword in this stone is the king of England'?" ”

Merlin shook his head this time: "This is not true, the sword in the stone is imitated by me, although it is extremely sharp, it does not have the divinity of the sword of the king." At that time, Arthur was just a poor boy with no background, and if he wanted to be convinced, he had to find a suitable reason. This is where the sword in the stone came about. I cast a small spell on the sword in the stone, and no one but Arthur could pull it out. ”

Bruce also raised his hand and asked, "Grandpa Merlin, the real King's Sword is an artifact?" ”

Merlin nodded: "The sword of the king is not available to anyone, it must be the king of heaven to wield it freely and sharpen iron like clay, but in the hands of ordinary people, it is just a piece of iron." And you should know that the most important thing about the sword of kings is not the sword. ”

The three of Bruce said in unison: "It's the scabbard!" ”

Merlin took a sip of tea and continued, "That's right, the king's sword is extremely sharp and can cut through everything in the world, and the scabbard can protect its master from any harm. A man who only knows offense and not defense is not worthy of a worthy monarch. ”

Chrissy: "Is the scabbard also in Fairy Lake?" ”

Merlin shook his head: "When Arthur first became emperor, he was brave and good at war, and he was wise in his appointing, and he governed England prosperously, but after middle age, he gradually began to sink into pleasure. The scabbard is a higher artifact than the sword, and it has autonomous consciousness, so it finally left Arthur, and its whereabouts are still unknown. ”

Chrissy was disappointed: "It's a shame, I don't know if there is a chance to find the scabbard." ”

Arthur nodded: "Yes, as long as there is another wise monarch, after receiving the approval of the king's sword, he will be able to retrieve the scabbard by virtue of the connection between the sword and the scabbard." Not to mention that, your arrival is predestined, and my task is to guide you to unify England once again! Are you ready? ”
