123 Dialogue with Merlin
This is probably a situation that no one expected.
This was especially true for Vivien, who had been waiting for a long time in Avalon, whose expression was completely glazed when she saw the façade appear on the intact stone wall, and she finally reacted when Merlin reached out and pulled Larry into the tower.
"Merlin!"
For a moment, the wind blew up, probably the anger accumulated over the years, or something else, and with the terrifying expansion of magic, the flowers under the tower were torn, and the broken petals rushed towards the stone gate that was about to be closed with Vivien's sudden attack.
Although Vivien's speed was extremely fast, it was probably the strongest force she had used in recent years, but she still couldn't get Merlin out of the tower before the stone gate closed.
The condensed magic attack slammed into the smooth wall, and the stone door that had just closed seemed to have never existed, and even under Merlin's inhibition, this magic attack failed to break through the wall, leaving not even a trace of the attack.
If it weren't for that, Vivien wouldn't have just waited outside the tower and never entered it.
"Merlin!"
Vivien called out the other party's name for the second time, but she didn't know that due to the existence of the ban, the outside world's voices were completely isolated, except for a few windows on the top of the tower to see the outside world, no information could flow into the tower, and her voice was naturally completely isolated by the ban.
Inside the tower, Larry, who looked confused, looked at the figure in front of him a little bewildered, of course, this time it was not pretended, but a real shock from the heart.
God TM This is coming in, what about the mystery that is good? What about prohibitions? You don't take this thing too seriously, do you?
But after thinking about the plot he saw when he was still playing the game off-screen, in the end, whether he wanted to get out of the tower or not was just up to his personal wishes, and if he wanted to, he could even run to the plains of Mesopotamia to fight Beast II at any time, after all, this ban was just set by himself.
"I didn't expect Vivian to be outside, it scared me to death." As for the white-robed and white-haired Flower Magician, he was dressed in a rough manner, as if he had just escaped some great disaster.
The iridescent hair color I just saw is probably due to the strong sunlight, and I don't know why.
But the tone of his voice was indeed very similar to that of the Merlin he knew.
"Ah, by the way, don't look at Vivien's temper now, she used to be very cute, she likes the forest, she likes birds, especially she likes to sing in the woods, how did she become like this?"
It sounds like a complaint, but to Larry's ears, it looks like she's showing off how nice her old lover is.
And although I don't know exactly what happened, Vivien must have something to do with you when she is now, and she is also a magician who is an alternate for the crown, and she doesn't even have this Hercules!
"Huh? Oh, oh, you seem to have a lot of questions, well, no matter what questions you want to say, it's not easy to say here, let's go to the top first. With that, Merlin stepped up the spiral staircase in the tower and walked towards the top.
Larry can only follow him up the stairs, this feeling is familiar, but it is quite different, although Camelot's tower is similar to the structure here, but it is full of cold atmosphere, and Avalon's tower gives Larry a kind of warmth.
Obviously, there is no sunlight.
After thinking about it for a while, Larry felt that this might be because of the magic, the magic in Avalon is much denser than the outside world, if the magic of the outside world is compared to a river, then this is the vast ocean, or the source of all rivers, so as a magician, Larry naturally feels quite comfortable.
Walking to the top of the tower, there are no ornately decorated rooms, only four windows like prison bars, and a black bluestone on the ground, but other than that, only the white stone walls remain.
It was rather desolate, and Merlin sat down on the black and blue stone as he was accustomed to, and put the staff in his hand aside.
At this time, Larry saw that the form of the staff seemed to flicker, which was a little strange, and his eyes were completely captured by Merlin, the two looked at each other, and Larry only felt that everything about himself seemed to be broken.
It's strange that when I faced Jin Shining, I didn't feel this way.
This forced Larry to be cautious, and although Merlin had not shown any unusual behavior so far, but.... Who can guarantee that?
"Hmm~ good, then, if you have any questions, you can start asking questions, although I already know what you want to ask." With a lot of confidence, Merlin laughed.
It seems that Larry will no longer be able to deceive the other party with his habitual acting skills, after all, EX-level clairvoyance is not so easy to deceive.
“..... Well, there's not much to ask, I'm just curious, why are you hiding here all the time? "Actually, there's really nothing to ask.
When Merlin appeared alive in front of Ryry, all the previous conjectures were confirmed, so why did the king kill Merlin, or the king's protection, there is no need to ask at all, it was all Merlin alone, is there a problem?
What he didn't understand was why Merlin wanted to sacrifice himself, though not really, to increase the king's prestige. If the Flower Magician stayed with the king, Larry felt that Merlin would be able to help the king with more things.
"Well, then, can I ask a rhetorical question first?" Merlin didn't answer Larry's question directly.
Larry froze slightly, he didn't expect Merlin to ask him a question, so he nodded, wanting to see what kind of question Merlin would ask.
"Do you think there's anything wrong with Britain now?"
"Do you think it is a bad thing that the trust between the king and the people is deeper, and the king understands the people and his courtiers better?"
"Do you think it would be a bad thing for the Knights of the Round Table to trust the king unconditionally? Or do you think this trust and loyalty is too stupid? Is it just because the king is not the same as the king you know? ”
"Do you think it's a bad thing for this king to be too kind? Is it a bad thing to understand the human heart too much? ”
A series of questions made Larry a little unsure of how to answer.
"Do you think that such a beautiful place can only exist in an ideal Britain has no power to replace the doomed Britain?"
After saying the last sentence, Merlin had lightly covered his mouth with his hand, and Larry couldn't see his expression, but it didn't matter, because he could feel that the air around him was getting colder.
