Chapter Fifty-Nine: The Trip to Avalon
"What's wrong with you, Mr. Merlin?" asked Lea when she saw Merlin's ghostly look.
"Nothing, just a little surprised. Merlin, who hadn't woken up, replied when she saw a confused Leah. 'What should I do?' I thought that the sword in the stone was broken, and I took Arthur to get a new sword, but now that the sword in the stone is not damaged in the slightest, should I stop there?' Merlin thought in his heart.
"Teacher, are you surprised that the sword in the stone is not broken?" asked Liya looking at the other party's surprised look.
"Of course, it is. Hearing Liya's words, Merlin subconsciously blurted out, and then reacted suddenly, scared into a cold sweat, if he told her that the sword in the stone was broken by him in fate, then Liya asked him really hard to explain.
"What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, the sword in the stone is not broken, I am very happy. After that, Merlin smiled and touched Lia's hair, and said with a kind expression.
The sword in the stone was not broken, and Merlin was indeed very happy, which meant that the fate he saw had begun to change, which gave him hope, the hope of changing Leah's fate.
Who can understand his feelings all along, knowing what a tragic fate his disciple will face in the future, but he has to personally send him to the stage of history and destiny to witness her glory and fall. It was too cruel for him.
But fate is not something he can change, not only does he not get anything, but he also has to personally guide everything, and then watch fate happen, and then his heart aches alone. Perhaps the only thing he could do was help her as much as he could.
"Teacher, is there anything you are doing here today?" Hearing Merlin's words, Lia was silent for a while and spoke. She was really touched to see Merlin happy for her, after all, she was the one who had taken care of her since she was a child.
"Hehe, how do you know I'm in trouble?" Merlin said with a smile.
"Because if you don't have something to do, you won't come here. You've never been back since I was crowned. Leah looked at Merlin and said in a faint voice.
"Ahh Hearing this, Merlin was stunned for a moment, and then said with an embarrassed smile. Leah was right, since she was crowned, Merlin came to help her, and then disappeared without a trace.
"Arthur, I'm going to take you somewhere. Merlin looked at Leah and said solemnly.
"Where?" Leah had already guessed. sighed in my heart, didn't I expect to move forward according to the trajectory of history!
"Go to Avalon, the land of the elves. Merlin also figured it out and said secretly in his heart. "Even if the sword in the stone is not broken, anyway, the sword is also prepared for Arthur, presumably even with the sword in the stone and the help of the sword, Arthur's chance of changing that fate will become even greater, and it can be regarded as the last help of my useless teacher to her." ’
"Is there something wrong?" asked Leah, even though she had already guessed. After all, if there was no doubt at all, Merlin would definitely ask.
"Take you to get your new sword. Merlin then added, "Originally, I thought the sword in the stone was broken, but now it doesn't matter. You must know that the role of the sword in the stone is mostly a symbol of royal power, that is, its sharpness is not very strong, because for the sake of its gorgeous appearance, most of the attack ability is abandoned, which is not the best weapon for you now. So now I'm going to take you to get a sword that makes up for the shortcomings of the sword in the stone, a sword that brings you victory. Merlin said as she looked at Leah earnestly.
"And now, that sword has been waiting for you in the Elven Land for a long time. ”
"Avalon?" whispered Leah. "I see. ”
When the sword in the stone was not broken, I thought I would never meet you again, but I didn't expect the inevitability of history to be so irresistible, and in the end, I still didn't escape the fate of meeting you?
Holy Sword - EXcalibur (Sword of Victory of the Oath)
Dividing line
The land of the elves - Avalon.
It's an ideal land of seclusion, where there is no harm, no deception, no pain, and everything here is so peaceful and peaceful.
And this is also the darling of nature, it is so beautiful, so pure, and has not been polluted by the slightest earthly pollution. It is not in the same time and space as the cathartic and chaotic world outside, as if it has been shrouded in a protective film since its inception, isolated from the pollution and intrusion of the outside world. Is this a paradise on earth?
In the middle of Avalon, there is a lake with no end in sight, and from a distance it looks like a mirror, shimmering with shimmering waves. The water of the lake is unusually clear, but the strange thing is that you can't see the scenery at the bottom of the lake.
By the lake, a man was wielding a long sword in his hand, very serious and strict. The sweat on his forehead fluttered with the man's waves, and the sunlight shone on the transparent glass.
The man has blue-purple shawl hair, and his handsome facial features are evenly distributed on the white face like a knife, and he has a very tall height, which looks like a beautiful tall woman from a distance.
"Lancelot, are you still practicing?" At this moment, a crisp female voice came, and I saw a beautiful woman walking from the lake, under the flowing hair, the pointed ears were exposed, whether it was the unearthly appearance, or the pointed ears all showed the identity of the female elf.
"Mother, why are you here?" exclaimed Lancelot with great joy at the sight of the woman.
"Today is the most important day of your life, so I came to see you and send you a gift by the way. The woman touched Lancelot's soft hair with her hand and smiled softly.
"What day?" asked Lancelot in surprise.
"Today, you will meet people who need you to protect your life, and from then on, your life will no longer be for yourself. The woman still had a gentle smile, but there was sadness and unbearability in it that could not be concealed. "That man is Arthur, the king of Britain today. You'll need to swear allegiance to her. ”
"Why?" asked Lancelot, puzzled.
"Because of fate. The woman whispered. The tone was full of helplessness, and then he sighed and said: "This is a predestined fate, you will be entangled for a lifetime until the end of your life." Can't hide, can't dodge. ”
Lancelot didn't understand the meaning of the woman's words, but just looked at the woman suspiciously, hoping to get an explanation from the woman.
"You don't have to think about it that much, you just need to know, when you meet that person later, challenge her, and if you are defeated, then you swear allegiance to her, and then go with her. The woman didn't explain anything to the puzzled Lancelot, but only told him what to do.
"I see, Mom. Although puzzled, Lancelot nodded and agreed.
"This is my gift to you. Seeing that Lancelot agreed, the woman sighed softly. Then he took out a sword of extreme delicacy and handed it to Lancelot.
"The sword, for me?" Lancelot's eyes lit up the moment he saw the sword, and he asked the woman eagerly.
"Yes, it will be the sword that will accompany you for the rest of your life, that will grow with you, and that will carry your glory. The woman explained with a smile.
"Thank you Mom, I love it so much. Lancelot took the sword, stroked it lovingly, and then swung it a few times into the air, and said excitedly to the woman. "By the way, Mom, what's this sword called?"
"The light of the lake without destruction. The woman chuckled.
"An indestructible lake?"
"Yes, it's a sword that will never break, so it's called indestructible. The woman whispered.
Looking at Lancelot, who was smiling and wielding a sword, the woman's voice said with sadness: "You have to remember, as I said just now, this is a sword that carries your honor, so once you fall, then this sword is the same." ”
"Well, got it. Lancelot focused on the sword in his hand and replied absentmindedly.
Looking at Lancelot helplessly, the woman shook her head, turned and walked in the direction of the lake, but muttered in a voice that only she could hear: "I hope you can be like the name of this sword, and have no regrets in your life." ”
