Chapter 82: The Mystery of Avalon

The stars are shining brightly, and the voices are boiling.

The Saxons had withdrawn, and every day in Great Britain was filled with a sea of joy, and they had reason to celebrate and to be mad because their Arthurian King had brought them a new era.

Streets, alleys, taverns, docks.

As long as it is a place where people gather, it is all singing the legends of King Arthur, turning the tide of the tide on the morning star, and fighting Donegal without blood, although these stories have been told thousands of times, but people are still willing to talk about them.

For the legend of King Arthur, they are willing to sing it like this, as for whether it is true or not, who cares about him?

The important thing is that Great Britain is stronger than ever, and the Saxons have been driven out of here, isn't it?

The celebration is not only here, but also the Royal Palace is filled with joy.

The guards straightened their waists and raised their heads, and the princes and ministers of the past were beaming, and everything indicated that the era of King Arthur was flourishing.

Westerners usually celebrate their achievements in the form of a ball, and this time, of course, is no exception.

The hall is illuminated by the torches carved into the air, and despite the plundering of the Saxons, the ruined walls now look as dazzling as medals of merit.

King Arthur's twelve Knights of the Round Table naturally couldn't be invited, such a grand event, if they were missing, it would be an insult to the heroes, and although Lin Xiu was not included in the twelve Knights of the Round Table, every Knights of the Round Table knew that his merits were no longer below them, or even much greater than them.

But I don't know why. For King Arthur appointed him as the thirteenth Knight of the Round Table. He declined without hesitation. Later, I don't know where the news leaked, it is said that the Oriental said that the number thirteen is very unlucky.

This sentence has slowly been widely circulated, and the sensitivity to the number thirteen, as well as the inauspiciousness of the representative, is still prevalent in Western countries today, of course, it is not mentioned here.

Today everyone has taken off their heavy armor. The originally serious faces, under the catalysis of alcohol at the moment, gradually bloomed like a bunch of flowers.

Lin Xiu was dressed in ordinary aristocratic clothes, his figure stood with the twelve knights of the round table, he was the most petite one, even Bediwell, he looked much stronger than him, which made Lin Xiu very embarrassed, but when he saw Artoria. His depressed mood was a little calmer, after all. Since ancient times, kings have not been so strong in height and physique, such as Napoleon, such as Hitler...... Phew, what is this.

Lin Xiu shook his head and threw these cranky thoughts out of his mind, his heart was not as calm as it appeared on the surface, the Arthurian dynasty had been established, Artoria had ascended the throne, but for Avalon, there was no clue about the time to go back.

Today's ball is not only for these meritorious heroes, but also for the nobles, and even many relatives and family members are allowed to participate, and their King Arthur is a very generous and benevolent king, and there will be no obstacle in these matters.

couldn't bear C.C.'s soft grinding and hard bubbles, Lin Xiu had no choice but to bring her over, after all, the Oriental knight who attached great importance to King Arthur now even the Twelve Knights of the Round Table had to give some face, so what was so strange about his sister coming to the ball?

C.C. will come, naturally with her thoughts, it took a whole day to dress herself carefully, when she appeared at the ball, the lights seemed dim for a while, the elegant etiquette, full of mystery of green hair, crystal clear jade like jade like facial features, although her age is still between eleven or twelve years old, but the beauty can no longer be hidden.

For a while, C.C. became the focus of the audience, and after dressing up, even Artoria felt very amazing, which was the main purpose of C.C., and she had to let the titular brother know that she was very beautiful, that others wanted to hold it in her hands, and that every man dreamed of, but unfortunately, her titular brother, uh, seemed to have found a no-man's corner to close his eyes and recuperate.

Seeing this situation, C.C. stomped his feet angrily, but there was no way, the stinky man named Gareth next to him circled around him like a fly, C.C. could only have a sentence to ride, after all, this is also the younger brother of Gawain, one of the Twelve Knights of the Round Table, she doesn't want to let her master's brother make enemies in his political career for her own reasons.

Don't look at her young age, but for these, she is very familiar with them, and she has a very good grasp of them, her life has changed dramatically, no one will treat her as a slave anymore, and even treat her as a little princess.

Gao Wen walked to Lin Xiu's side with a drunken face, talking nonsense with a big tongue, and his palm kept patting Lin Xiu's shoulder, C.C. was very worried that his big hand as thick as a bear's paw would collapse Lin Xiu's shoulder.

Thinking of this, he apologized to Garrett and said goodbye, but Garrett seemed to know Gao Wen's purpose for looking for Lin Xiu, so he didn't keep it, and nodded very gentlemanly, for this Miss C.C., he couldn't extricate himself from love from the first sight, could it be Loricon's attribute?

However, there were so many people participating in the dance that neither C.C. nor Lin Xiu noticed that the people from the Templars were also invited to it, and the people of the Templars would naturally not wear any black robes when they participated in such a ball, which was a kind of blasphemy against the king.

Even if the Templar was an independent existence, they couldn't ignore the majesty of the king so much, otherwise those Knights of the Round Table didn't have any faith in the Templar, and they would definitely pick up the big sword in their hands and shatter him into pieces.

His eyes remained fixed on C.C.'s figure, and after a moment, he made an excuse and disappeared into the ball, and his route was to go straight to the residence of his royal sister Morgan.

"Hiccup, I said Lin Xiu, you ...... Your sister is also this year. It's not small. Isn't it time to think about finding one for him? Hiccup, the right husband? ”

Gao Wen had already drunk his tongue, but because of his brother's begging, he had to come to Lin Xiu with a cheeky face.

At this time, C.C. also walked over, and happened to hear Gawain's words, and she almost fell to the ground unsteadily.

"Uh, C.C.? She's not even twelve years old. ”

Lin Xiu is really a little funny, is Gareth really a lolicon? I actually fell in love with C.C., who hadn't yet reached the age of sixteen. It's incredible, but no matter what, this marriage is unlikely to come true.

"Uh, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, it's better to book it in advance, what do you think of my brother Gareth?"

Gao Wen's tongue suddenly became less straight, and his drunkenness was not so heavy, and Lin Xiu realized that this old boy was a noodle boy. It's all pretended just now.

"Well, that's it. Let's talk about it when C.C. is older. ”

Lin Xiu didn't want to refuse directly, anyway, he might disappear here with C.C. one day, so he used a procrastination trick.

C.C. didn't know that he had such thoughts, and when she thought that she might grow up and be given away by her master's brother and marry herself, she couldn't hear anything, and ran out of the hall of the ball in a rage.

Lin Xiu is a little inexplicable, probably because girls are more shy? This emotionally dull man thought so, and ordered two guards to let them follow C.C., and Gawain was still beside him, and it would be natural if he left at this time.

"Hey, let me tell you, this medicine is not an ordinary spirit, what a chaste martyr, keep it and let her obediently, hey, women are like this, as long as you taste it once, you can't get rid of it in the future."

As soon as he walked out of the ball, he heard this voice under the porch, and C.C.'s eyes rolled, and the corners of his mouth hooked up an unpredictable smile.

"So, does this medicine work for men?"

"Hey, men and women aren't all the same, but who would waste this kind of good thing on men."

The man said smugly, only to realize that he was asking a beautiful girl he had never seen before, but her eyes were now smiling like a little fox stealing chickens.

The ball is in full swing, and everyone has to participate in such a ball, even King Arthur is not exempt.

Artoria had no choice but to take on such an occasion, she had to take on the appearance of a man and dance with Queen Gnavia.

The two of them can be called a pair of jasper beauties, but for the two parties involved, they are psychologically miserable and unrelenting.

It was impossible for Artoria to go to Lin Xiu to dance on such an occasion, and it was impossible for Gnavia to ask Lancelot to invite her to dance with her as queen.

Both of them had their own thoughts, and their eyes drifted to two corners.

Lancelot and the other Knights of the Round Table were gambling on wine, their faces filled with excitement, but Gnevia could see that his eyes were full of loss as he occasionally looked forward to them.

Lin Xiu was pulled by Gawain and kept saying that Gareth was this good, that good, in desperation, he could only keep pouring wine frequently, Artoria looked funny, but it seemed that he didn't drink very much, would he drink badly.

The two of them had different minds, and they turned their heads and looked at each other at the same time, both with a hint of dodging and shame, such a dance really made this pair of lilies dance like walking on thin ice.

"I'm sorry, my king, me"

"Needless to say, Ganevia, it's me who should say I'm sorry."

Gnavia thought that King Arthur had noticed her distraction and was about to apologize so as not to be suspected, but she didn't expect Artoria to interrupt her and apologize first, which made Gnavia a little overwhelmed, but she was glad that she didn't need to find any reason to cover it up.

"I didn't understand why the queen had no worries about food and clothing, and her status was noble, but she was depressed every day and rarely saw a smile, until not long ago, I realized that it was not these things that a woman needed."

Artoria's words were fantastical, but Gnevia could understand them, and understood them very well, because she was also a woman, and a woman who knew that Artoria was also a woman.

It's just that she doesn't understand why Artoria, who has never understood any emotions and is like a saint on the altar, seems to be a different person today.

"I already knew about you and Lancelot."

Holding Artoria's hand, she trembled visibly, and Gnevia's face instantly turned pale. Nearly fell to the ground. But the good thing. Artoria seemed to be able to guess her reaction, and the strength of her hands held her waist and allowed her to barely stand on her feet.

"It's not so much that I know, but I actually did it on purpose, but anyway, I want you to stay together, so that my sister can end this platonic love as soon as possible."

Artoria's eyes were full of care, and Gnevia was instantly moved. She never imagined that she would have a day when she would get her wish, although she did not love Artoria, after all, she was not a lily, but she knew that this King Arthur had always been above board and did what he said.

Nor will it be used in any despicable way, that would be an insult to King Arthur, an instinctive rejection of Artoria, therefore. With such assurances from Artoria, Gnevia knew. What I'm looking forward to isn't too far away.

"My king, you will always be my king, but this matter will definitely have a great impact on you, if that is the case, Lancelot and I will not be at ease, and Gnevia is already satisfied to get such a promise from you."

Gnevia is emotional, but she does not lose her sense of politics, and she is also a kind-hearted woman.

Artoria couldn't go on, the ball was over, she just smiled at Gnivia and held her hand tightly.

Now that Great Britain has just stabilized, her prestige is in full swing, and at this moment, she does not dare to say anything like abdication, which will definitely have a big impact on the entire royal family and Great Britain, which is obviously not the result that Artoria wants to see.

Moreover, whether Mordred can inherit the will of the king and whether he can be a good king must be gradual and must not be rushed, these truths, Artoria still understands.

Just thinking of this, the guard suddenly came over and whispered to her, Artoria looked happy, and when she went to find Lin Xiu's figure again, it was already empty, but now she had to go there immediately, otherwise the mysterious master would disappear without a trace.

In the back yard, Artoria stood respectfully in front of an old man.

The old man no longer had a single hair, and his face was full of wrinkles, but those eyes were full of rare wisdom, and it was naturally no one else who could make the king come to see this honor in a hurry, it was Merlin.

The two of them simply asked for warmth, and Merlin brought the conversation to the point.

"I heard that your sword in the stone has been shattered, don't mind, it is your weapon to conquer the world, when the king ascends the throne, the sword in the stone will naturally not continue to bless you."

Merlin said that Artoria was not surprised that he knew everything well, for he was Merlin, the one who prophesied that she would become king.

"This is the Sword of Victory of the Oath, but the scabbard was lost by me, the specific location is already clear, it is only a matter of time to find it, what I want to ask my king is, which one do you prefer, the sword body or the scabbard?"

Merlin's wise eyes glanced at Artoria, expecting her answer.

Artoria smiled indifferently and reached out to take the sword directly, and the answer was already self-evident.

"You see, the scabbard is worth ten times as much as the blade. Those who wear the sword of kings will never bleed, so protect the scabbard and carry it with you. ”

Merlin's eyes were full of loss, was the prophecy destined to be irreversible?

Artoria listened to Merlin's words, but was unimpressed.

"Master Merlin, I already have a scabbard, and he will always be by my side to protect me from injury, and I chose the sword body precisely because I also want to cut through obstacles for him on the road ahead."

Artoria's eyes burned as she spoke her true thoughts.

"But did my king ever think that one day your scabbard would leave you?"

Merlin seemed to have seen the future, and Artoria understood what he was saying, and her body trembled slightly, but then she stood still, her eyes full of determination.

"So what's the point of leaving the sword behind?"

Seeing that Artoria was so resolute, Merlin could only shake his head and sigh lightly, he knew that no matter how much he persuaded him, it was impossible for the king to listen to him anymore.

"Does the Master know the exact location of Avalon?"

Artoria asked about the matter that Lin Xiu had mentioned to her, and she was naturally very concerned about this matter that Lin Xiu cared about.

"Why does my king ask about this? Do you know that it is the ideal place for the king to remove his armor? ”

Artoria was also a little surprised, not very clear about this. But the thought of unarmouring. The monologue between Lin Xiu and her once sounded in my ears again.

Could it be said. Did he already know? Yes, he's already smart and mysterious, and it's not surprising to know that, which means that if he gets there, everything will be solved, right?

"I naturally know that location, behind the Gladiolus Mountain. Banshee Lake. ”

Artoria was already cheering when she heard this, and hurriedly said goodbye to Merlin, and walked towards Lin Xiu's residence outside the palace, she wanted to tell him at the first time that the things he entrusted had been completed for him, and at this moment, she was satisfied like a little girl in love.

C.C. was tinkering with drinks at home, yes, yes. It's a drink, which is a kind of sour plum soup that Lin Xiu usually makes for her. It is said to have a decanting effect, and C.C. has always been drinking it as a drink.

Lin Xiu went out to the dance today, and he must have drunk a lot of wine, so when he came back, he would definitely drink this sobering sour plum soup, and C.C. carefully poured the medicine bag that was about to come into it.

"A little more, a little more."

The corners of C.C.'s mouth and eyes were all crooked with a smile, and soon, a packet of medicine had been poured into it.

After getting along for such a long time, she already knows Lin Xiu's character very well, and she was originally a slave who relied on her master's favor to survive, so C.C.'s talent for a master's temperament has long been perfected.

His owner is obviously a very emotionally repulsive person, but the more this is the case, the heavier the person's sense of responsibility becomes, and once they have a relationship, they will definitely not abandon themselves, eat and wipe clean, and it is because of this that C.C. came up with this solution.

Hmph, the little idio also dares to rob a man with me, and today I will let you know Miss Ben's methods.

"Miss Sissi, the one who claims to be Gareth wants to see you."

The words of the guards came in.

"Hmph, my brother is not here, what is he looking for me for? Just say I slept. ”

C.C. is busy with his life's events, how can he have the leisure to know that annoying fly, but after thinking about it, his brother will still be next to King Arthur in the future, and he will be his wife in the future, so as a wife, how can he put her husband in danger.

"Wait, I'll see him."

Thinking of this, C.C. gritted his teeth and walked out, anyway, there are two pieces of meat missing, so let's fool the dog.

"The pot of sour plum soup on the table, no one is allowed to move, and whoever touches me will cut off his head."

Before C.C. left, another such ban was placed, and the guard quickly nodded yes.

But as soon as he went out, C.C. regretted it a little, this Gareth was simply a dog skin plaster, and he couldn't shake it off, and he even invited her out for a walk.

Although he was extremely tired in his heart, C.C. could only say yes, anyway, now Lin Xiu didn't seem to be able to come back for a while, so he had to quickly try his best to coax this fly to other eggs.

Lin Xiu had already been overwhelmed by Gao Wen's sake, and he shirked it again and again, but helplessly, Gao Wen had already arranged for Gareth to go to his house to find his sister, at this time, how could he let him go back and destroy the good thing?

So I called Lancelot, and a few people from Geraint went to other taverns to continue to get drunk, and Lin Xiu was really helpless, so he could only drag his legs and let them be at their mercy.

Artoria almost galloped to Lin Xiu's residence, and because of the excitement, her little face was a little red.

"What about Lin Xiu?" Artoria asked hurriedly.

"King Yugo, the knight has not returned." Although he didn't know why King Arthur was so excited, it was not something that their guards should know, so they quickly replied respectfully.

"Oh, it doesn't matter, I'll just wait for him here."

Artoria said that he had already walked into Lin Xiu's room, King Arthur wanted to enter Lin Xiu's mansion, where did the guards dare to stop him? It's too late to rejoice.

Respectfully, Artoria walked in.

"What is this?"

Looking at the tempting pot of sour plum soup on the table, Artoria asked with some curiosity.

"Well, King Huiwu, this is a kind of sour plum soup developed by the knight, it is said that it is specially used to sober up wine and quench thirst."

The guards hurriedly replied, they were also very proud of Lin Xiu's magic, after all, they were now working under Lin Xiu's hands.

"Huh? He didn't tell me about such good things. ”

Artoria was a rare tsundere, because Lin Xiu always made some magical things, and she was already surprised, so at this time, when she heard that he had developed something by himself, she didn't tell herself, and she was faintly a little emotional.

Don't tell me, I have to taste it, thinking about it, like a coquettish little girl, Artoria took a glass and drank it all.

The guards naturally didn't dare to stop it, not to mention Miss Sissi's order, even Lin Xiu couldn't do it, this was King Arthur of Great Britain in front of him.

Drink something like a little water, who reminds you? (To be continued......)
