Chapter 5: King Uther
Charles's whole body suddenly tensed, and his mental power carefully roamed around his body to suppress the demonic qi that had been perfectly hidden to the depths, for fear that the sharp gaze of the powerful old man in front of him would find something wrong with him.
Finally Merlin withdrew his gaze, turned to look at the guard who had led Charles in, and nodded slightly.
After noticing that the gaze on him was gone, Charles secretly let out a long breath, just now he almost didn't explode, under the other party's gaze, he seemed to have nowhere to hide, and thought that his identity was about to be discovered, but before he could recover a little, he heard an old voice sound.
"Go down, and then the gentleman will be brought before the king."
"Yes, Master."
Charles stared blankly at the guards who walked past him, and his heart was broken, but when he noticed that Merlin was looking at him again, he hurriedly cheered up and put a respectful and unobtrusive smile on his face.
"Hello, dear Mr. Magician, below is a humble wandering poet Charles who has wandered the continent."
"Hello, honorable Lord Charles, Your Excellency is too humble, and the power contained in your body seems to be a little unusual."
When Charles heard Merlin's indifferent but coercive words, his heart suddenly tightened and his whole body tightened, but he instantly relaxed, and tried to put on a slightly embarrassed smile on his face, "The master said that he laughed, and his strength was just to protect himself when he traveled to the mainland. ”
"Oh, is that so, that's good"
Merlin, who was leading the way in front, heard this, turned his head and glanced at Charles, who was keeping a certain distance from him, and then walked in front in silence to lead the way after saying a word lightly.
As one of the subordinate states of the Roman Empire, Emilo has always been under the protection of the Roman Empire, and the army deployed by the Roman Empire on the island of Great Britain has helped them repel the invasion of the Saxons and Guglos in Northern Europe countless times over the centuries, so that the people here have always lived in peace.
Until a few decades ago, due to the decline of the Western Roman Empire, the Roman army commander on the island of Great Britain led his army to rebel and returned with his army to fight for power, and the kingdom of Amillot began to enter a dark period, and was once again shrouded in the shadow of Saxon pirates. Because of the protection of the Roman Emperor for a long time, Emelo's own army was extremely weak, and it was completely unable to fulfill its duty to protect its own people, so it could only retreat under the invasion of the Saxons, and now even completely ceded the northern part of Great Britain to the Guglos and Saxons, and could only barely hold the southern part of the island of Great Britain.
However, no matter how weak the army was, King Emilo was the capital of the kingdom after all, and it was not much affected by the Saxons, and the palace was full of rich Roman-style decorations and beautiful flowers. It's a pity that now Charles doesn't have the slightest heart to enjoy the surrounding scenery, and he even has a layer of cold sweat behind his back, but he still has a smile on his face and calmly follows Merlin.
Merlin didn't speak again, and walked silently ahead to lead the way, as if Charles who was following him didn't exist at all, until he reached King Uther's palace, Merlin stopped and turned to look at Charles behind him.
"Your Excellency Charles, I don't know what kind of intentions you came to Amilio, but it's best to put your thoughts away here, whether you really come to travel or have some ulterior motives, as long as you have the slightest threat to this kingdom, I won't let you spend the rest of your life easily, I believe that with Your Excellency Charles, your eyes will not fail to see that I have the strength to do it."
Charles stared blankly at Merlin, who turned away calmly after speaking, and did not expect that the other party would say such a thing to him when he was about to arrive in front of the palace. Immediately, Charles was relieved, it seemed that the other party had no way to see through his disguise, and he was completely frightened by the strength of the other party.
However, this can't be said that Charles is timid, as far as Charles knows, there is also a legend of the devil in medieval Europe, in case the other party finds out that he is a devil pretending, then his life is worried, and he has to be cautious, after all, life is at stake.
Although Charles inherited the memory of the predecessor of the body, it is not his own memory after all, and he only has a general understanding of some of the devil's characteristics and skills, and the memory mentions that the devil is born with high charisma, mastering camouflage skills and spatial ability, but who knows if this disguise can be seen through, Charles did not dare to let go without trying. However, as far as the current situation is concerned, it has been verified that the devil is an expert in fanning the flames and playing conspiracy, and the small skill of disguise is innate.
Looking at the back of Merlin disappearing at the door, Charles suddenly smiled lightly, although he didn't expect that the legendary Merlin was not only a magician, but also his strength was so strong, he actually reached the legendary level. However, after knowing that the other party could not find out his identity, Charles was completely relieved, Merlin's existence would indeed bring a lot of trouble to his actions, but if there is something to say, if there is difficulty, then face the difficulty, and if there is no difficulty, it will also create difficulties.
However, the plan he had envisaged in his heart based on the news he had just obtained was also to be changed, and Charles rubbed the sword at his waist with his left hand and strode into the palace.
The room where King Uther received Charles was not like the Oriental palace that Charles had seen in his previous life, although it also had gorgeous and exquisite decorations, but it did not give people a magnificent and huge momentum, but more like a delicately decorated study.
Charles glanced at the decorations around the study and looked at the middle-aged man sitting on the main seat, as a demon, Charles could see at a glance that the soul of King Euse, the king of Emillot, had decayed, and he could only last a few more years at most, at most ten years, and I believe that Merlin, who was sitting quietly on the side at this time, could also rely on his own strength to see.
"Your Majesty, King Uther of Emilor, please allow me, the humble Charles, a wandering poet of the continent, to pay you the highest respect." Charles put his right hand on his chest and bowed slightly.
"Hello, Charles, sit down, don't be so polite, I'm just an old man who can't afford to protect his own people." King Uther waved his hand to find a place for Charles to sit down after he had finished saluting, and Charles was not polite, and sat down opposite Merlin, but he was still further away from King Uther than Merlin, after all, he was only a new stranger.
Seeing that Charles did not act rudely, King Uther nodded secretly in his heart, it seems that he is not a rude and rude person, maybe he can be used for his own country, thinking of this, King Uther looked at Merlin, Merlin nodded slightly unobtrusively, for this king and his friends who have come up with it for more than ten years, Merlin knows very well that Uther is now all about the danger of Emillot.
After getting Merlin's affirmation, King Uther confirmed that the young man in front of him, who looked no more than double ten, really had the strength mentioned in the report of his subordinates just now, so he couldn't miss such a powerful assistant, thinking of this, King Uther's eyes, which were originally tired and gloomy due to physical reasons, suddenly bloomed.
"Mr. Charles, since you say that you are a traveling poet, I am sorry that I have not heard of this profession, and you are interested in resting in my little kingdom, and I am also interested in your poetry."
When Charles saw King Uther's expression, he didn't know what kind of thoughts the other party had, but this was exactly what he needed, and he didn't have enough information about this world, so it would be best to find a local force to gain a foothold.
"It is an honour to be appreciated by Your Majesty, the King, and I am honoured to be invited by you."
"Okay, presumably Your Excellency Charles, you are tired from here just now, so I will order someone to take you to rest." Seeing that Charles had accepted his invitation, King Uther laughed and pressed the bell on the table, and soon a servant who was waiting outside walked in.
"Then Your Majesty, I'll go and rest first." Charles bowed slightly to King Uther and followed his servant out of the study.
When the door was closed again, King Uther put away the smile on his face and looked at Merlin. As a king, he would never trust a stranger at the first meeting, even if his country was already in danger.
"Merlin, what do you think of this man, I've never heard of a wandering poet."
Merlin pondered for a moment before raising his head: "Yusher, to be honest, I haven't heard of any wandering poets, I guess it's about the same as those wandering poets in the taverns, but this person's strength is very extraordinary, but after all, we don't know each other." ”
King Uther had a look of exhaustion on his face, he had never shown a trace of panic in front of outsiders and his men, and it was only in the presence of his only friend that he allowed the sorrow in his heart to creep up his brow.
"But Merlin, you also know that we have been harassed by Saxon pirates for decades since the Roman army withdrew from the island, and the country is reaching its limit."
Merlin is naturally very aware of the current situation of the Emilo Kingdom, because of the abandonment of armaments, as soon as the Roman army withdraws, Amelo itself has no power to resist the Saxon invasion, and can only keep retreating. Such an incompetent act has already made some signs appear in the hearts of those lords in the country, and Merlin raised his eyes to look at Yuser, this friend of his has been working hard because of Emilo's future since he came to power, and his body is almost unbearable.
"Merlin, I remember you said that my successor will take the kingdom of Emillot to glory and to the top"
"Uther"
King Uther raised his hand and waved it at Merlin, interrupting the other's reassurance, a tired look appeared on his face, and King Uther leaned back as if he could not support it, before he spoke in a hoarse voice.
"Merlin, I never considered myself a worthy king, and when I took over the scepter from my father, representing the supremacy of this country, I knew that I was not much different from ordinary people, except that I was from a better background."
"Perhaps, in an era of peace, I will be able to be a good king who has not achieved much, but who will not go wrong, and who will ensure that the people of the country live happily and carelessly, just like my father. However, this is a time when a hero is needed, and Emilo needs a valiant king to lead them back to a peaceful life with them, but unfortunately I can't. ”
"Merlin, you said my bastard, Tolia, she would be a king who led Great Britain to the top, and I believe in your prophecy, and you have never missed it. I don't believe a girl can do that, but I still believe you. ”
Merlin looked silently at the overwhelmed look on his friend's face, knowing that his friend had been holding out for decades in a position that wasn't right for him, and he couldn't hold it anymore.
"Uther I understand, but Tolia takes time to grow, she's too young."
"I know, so I'm going to keep going, Merlin for ten years, I promise you that I'll support this country for another ten years, and then I'll ask you, please help Tolia to take this country to the top, not only can I ensure that Emilo doesn't have to worry about being harassed, but the people can live in peace and well."
"I promise you, Uther. You're too tired, Uther, go and rest. ”
King Yusher raised his hand and waved it feebly, signaling that he understood.
Merlin walked out of the study, but his eyes showed a hint of pain. Yusher, I will assist Tolia in fulfilling your wishes, but Yusher, after the peak comes decline, and the future of Emilo and the future of Great Britain is not as beautiful as you think.
Perhaps the stranger who had not appeared in the prophecy could bring about a turnaround, and Merlin walked out of the palace with an idea that he did not believe in himself. He looked up and saw that it was dusk, and the western sky was shining beautifully in the last rays of the setting sun.
