Chapter 1487: Brave New World (5)

"Ha, ha, ha, ha. After about two kilometers of running, Arthur was already sweating and panting like a cow. And yet he was still in the middle of the wilderness, and how could he run some distance into the town? He didn't even see the shadow of the town.

"No, no!" the boy paused to rest, so that his lungs, which were about to explode in the rapid breath, could be relieved for a while.

"Your Majesty, just hold on a little longer!" The Raven Shadow was still hovering around the young man, and Merlin's voice urged Arthur all the way forward: "It's almost time to reach the town, it's all right away!"

"No! who wants to listen to your nonsense!" Arthur exclaimed angrily, "Is your special [coming soon] calculated by human standards, or by the standards of that stupid bird that can fly?, and my body is worse than the normal adult constitution!!-no, no, no, no! I'd rather find a place to settle down in this wilderness than die of exhaustion halfway!"

The shadow of the crow hovered in mid-air, and it seemed to be very embarrassed, but there was nothing to do with King Arthur. Merlin is now communicating with Arthur of this world by manipulating his demons, but his demons can only control gravity and make a shadow in this world, but he can't interfere with this world at all.

"No way, just find a place to spend the night nearby. Merlin sighed, "Two hundred yards east from here, there will be a small cave. Make a fire at the mouth of the cave inside, and that's it for tonight. ＂

"So you do have a backup plan. Arthur glanced at the shadow of the crow: "If you have a plan, say it early, let me run to death!"

The crow shadow landed on the shoulder of the young Arthur, and did not answer, Merlin was probably puzzled by King Arthur, and did not know what to say.

Arthur didn't bother to pay attention to Merlin, he knew that he was not far from his destination, so he walked a little full.

"Then again, the equipment in this world is so backward. Arthur said again and again, "Judging from the battle just now, those guys are using ordinary iron swords and spears, bows and arrows are still rough cut from wood, and all weapons are not even enchanted, what the hell are they doing? Or is it that in a few hundred years, the national power of our Great Britain has declined to that point, and it is so poor that it can't even get some decent weapons to equip our soldiers?"

"The former is more likely. Merlin analyzed truthfully: "From the surprised expressions on the faces of those soldiers when they saw the sword in His Majesty's hand, it can be seen that they have indeed never seen a weapon with enchantment. They may have mistaken the faint excess light from the enchantment on the weapon for some kind of divine light. ＂

"Yes. Hmph," Arthur muttered, "Science and technology have regressed. Is this the world 200 years from now, or the world from thousands of years ago? ＂

"It's all possible. Merlin replied ambiguously: "Is it possible that I misestimated the year of my destination from the beginning, a more primitive world thousands of years away from our world?"

It is also possible that our world is a continuation, but after a fierce war, human civilization was lost, and all photon civilizations have been set back thousands of years?

It's more likely that this is a parallel world that is completely different from our original world, and in this world, the photon civilization is already very backward?"

"Wait, photon civilization? I've never heard of that. ＂

"Photonic civilization is a civilization that extends from all the science or magic related to photons. Merlin further explained: "For example, in the world where you were originally located, Your Majesty, there were ancient gods and human races who left you a lot of scientific knowledge on the use of photons, and there were also a large number of light stones that could be mined, and the concentration of photons in the natural environment was also extremely high, and people could cast spells at will. Due to these factors, the photonic civilization of your world is actually extremely high, and there were spaceships powered by photon mirrors for more than 500 years AD. ＂

"Oh. Arthur snorted.

"However, I have traveled to countless parallel worlds before, and some worlds are far less fortunate than the one you are in, Your Majesty. The human civilization of those worlds may have not discovered the existence of photons for tens of thousands of years, and they do not even know how to use the most basic and commonly used particles in the universe.

The photonic civilization of these worlds is so low that they may not be able to invent photon mirrors after three or four thousand years after the Common Era, and the spacecraft is even powered by ore fuel. ＂

"Well," Arthur thought for a moment, "if our ancestors hadn't left so much of the ancient technological legacy to the people of our world, we probably would have been the same as the worlds you mentioned." ＂

"Then Your Majesty, do you think you should thank them, or curse them?" Merlin asked a strange question.

Arthur frowned, sensing that there was a deception in the question: "Normally, I should thank them, right? But I sense that you might give the opposite answer?"

"Perhaps so, Your Majesty. Merlin said: "After I have traveled through hundreds of millions of parallel worlds, I have come to a relatively accurate conclusion: no matter what the process is, as long as the photonic civilization of a world becomes abnormally developed, the closer the world is to destruction." ＂

"Huh, what the hell?"

"Isn't that exactly what it turned out to be, Your Majesty?" Merlin asked rhetorically, "Isn't your world being eroded by shadows and facing destruction?"

"You're right, but you can't be killed with a single shot, right?"

But that's exactly what happened. Merlin sighed: "I have found that every photon civilization in the developed world will eventually touch those forbidden things in the depths of the universe that should not be touched. And it is these forbidden things that lead to the destruction of the world. ＂

"Is science destroying the world. Sounds reasonable, too. ＂

"It's a law of nature. Merlin snorted in a low voice: "There can be many reasons for the destruction of a world, but every time the accelerated destruction of the world is basically caused by man. Sometimes they are the erosion of shadows, sometimes they are some powerful spells that can completely throw the world out of control, such as nuclear fusion, and sometimes even the [chaos] brought about by the extremely advanced photon civilization, which is caused by a misrewriting of fate (karma), the chaotic state of the fate of the world. ＂

"Oh, you're here again"

"For example, Your Majesty, if you kill people there just now, it will have an extremely bad impact on the fate of this world. Merlin complained, "I only hope that Your Majesty will do less stupid things like this in the future." ＂

"I really don't want to talk to you about this. Arthur interrupted unpleasantly. He did what he had to do, and he would never regret his actions.

At the same time, Arthur also saw from afar the cave that Merlin had said earlier could be used to spend the night. The cave sits in front of a low hill, with solid marble rock in the background, facing an open flat land, making it an ideal base for defense.

Arthur ran to the cave to inspect it, and the cave was clean and tidy, and there was no unpleasant dampness at all. And since it's so dry, it's impossible for any disgusting mosquitoes to grow in the cave, ensuring that Arthur won't be disturbed when he sleeps tonight.

"It's good, it's good. The boy took off the sword from his back, and went to fetch some wood and forage, and prepared to make a fire.

Arthur was already so sore that he didn't want to move after sitting down, but luckily there were some small bushes not far outside the cave, and they had been dry and crunchy by the scorching sun and north wind all day, and the evening rain hadn't made them too wet. Arthur was born as a knight, and he also had a lot of experience in making a living in the wilderness, he didn't even need to look for flints, he just used his sword to slash at the stone next to him, and the sparks that splashed ignited the ignition material.

"Huh. When the fire was raised, Arthur breathed a sigh of relief and sat down by the campfire to keep warm.

"There's none of your business here, Merlin. The boy commanded, "Go and inspect the terrain, and by the way, find out about this world." ＂

"Yes, Your Majesty. ＂

The black raven was about to fly out when Arthur added, "If you can, go find Bediwell." ＂

After all, Arthur has now become a weak teenager, and even with a sword in his hand, his heart is still not steady enough. Or, because of this sword in his hand, Arthur was even more unsure. The photon civilization of this world is so low, this sword with excellent enchantment is actually very rare, rare and expensive, especially in times of war, a powerful weapon can be said to be invaluable. God knows how many scheming people will come to snatch this peerless sword?

"Will try to find it, Your Majesty. Merlin also guessed what King Arthur had hidden in his heart and did not say, and the crow shadow flew away in an instant. What his plans were next, and where he should go to find out the news, only Merlin himself knew.

Goo――

Less than ten minutes after the crow's shadow flew away, Arthur's stomach rang.

It's a matter of course that the stomach is empty. Ever since he arrived in this new world, Arthur hasn't even had anything in his stomach. He didn't even know what the food of this world looked like or tasted like. Moreover, he also dragged the body of this weak young man to fight with a group of British soldiers, killing more than 20 people, and the physical strength consumed was amazing. It should be said that he is only now starting to feel hungry, which is a miracle.

If he didn't eat something to replenish his strength, he would probably fall into a dangerous state of hypoglycemia. Arthur scratched his head. However, it was completely dark, and it was not a good idea to go out in the dark to find food and move under the watchful eye of all kinds of dangerous nocturnal beasts.

Will you have to go to bed hungry tonight?

Just when the boy was worried and didn't know what to do, there was a sudden movement outside the cave.

There was a heavy footstep, approaching.
