Chapter 113: The Legend of King Arthur (6)
Lately, Artoria has been thinking about the joke of the night star.
She didn't know how to respond, and she was always distressed.
This is also left on her, replaced by other women, how can she not hear that it is sarcastic in that situation? If Tianxing can tease her overnight, it also means that she is not very angry, otherwise she will never say a word, and she won't even look at her.
The next day, the anger of the sky star had been completely eliminated, but because he didn't know what was going on in the mind of this strange knight king, he asked her to change the topic or simply avoided talking about it, and it was not enough. As for Lancelot, he just felt that King Arthur's "days" of the month seemed a bit long.
One day, Merlin, a wandering magician who didn't know where, returned. He burst into tears when he saw the intact sword in the hand of Artoria sitting on the throne. After Artoria managed to calm him down, Merlin apologized for his gaffe and said to Artoria: "My king, the great sword in the stone can only be matched by the most precious scabbard in this world!" ”
The sword represents the offense, and the sheath represents the guard.
King Arthur in history didn't understand, so after choosing the sword, he just blindly charged on the front line and forgot to stabilize the rear, and the rear guide had a rebellion and died on the battlefield.
But Artoria, who had experienced it once, was different, she had already learned this truth from the Night Sky Star.
Merlin the Wizard also returned from his trip to discover that Britain would soon be able to unify all the smaller nations around it, while the mighty Roman Empire had set its sights on the newly prosperous and powerful kingdom.
Once Artoria regained lost territory, all she needed was a sword.
But now. In the face of the mighty Roman Empire, a sword alone is not enough. It must be guarded by a sheath.
Artoria then asked, "Wizard Merlin, where is the sheath you are talking about?" Take me and fetch it. ”
Merlin nodded in agreement. So they rode to an unknown lake. The lake is vast and clear. Artoria saw that the center of the lake stretched out an arm, dressed in white silk, and held a delicate sword in his hand.
Merlin exclaimed, "Look! The scabbard I just spoke of is there. ”
At that moment, they saw a young girl coming from the lake.
Although Artoria already knew the identity of the other party, she still asked Merlin, "Who is that woman?" ”
Merlin replied, "She is the fairy of the lake." In the middle of the lake there is a rock with a place on it, which is exceptionally beautiful. A while. The woman will come to visit you, and if you ask her tactfully, she will give you the scabbard. ”
At Merlin's orders, Artoria came to the rock in the center of the lake.
In a short time, the girl did come to see Artoria. The maiden saluted her first, and Artoria returned the salute.
Artoria then spoke, "Beautiful nymph of the lake, I am Arthur King of Britain. Artoria. Pendragon, my sword in stone doesn't have a proper sheath to guard. I long for you to give me the scabbard of that sword. ”
Seeing Artoria's sincere tone, the fairy in the lake couldn't help but nod and said, "King Arthur, the sword and scabbard are my treasures, but I can't just give them to you like this. You have to exchange it for a gift. ”
"What kind of gift do you need?" Artoria looked up at the beautiful sapphire eyes of the lake fairy, "I swear, as long as I can get my hands on the treasure." I will do my best to get it for you. ”
A smile appeared on the face of the fairy of the lake: "Okay, please sit on that boat." Draw to the sword and take it out with its sheath. As for the gift I want to ask you for. When the time comes, I will come again. ”
"Wait, Fairy of the Lake, I already have the sword, I just need the sheath."
"The sword will be kept with you for the time being. When I come to pick up the gift, I'll take it with me. ”
So Artoria and Merlin, who had returned to the shore, tied their horses to the trees, and got into the boat together, rowing all the way to where the sword was. Artoria gripped the blade of her sword and took it with a single stroke, the arm retracting into the water. So they returned to the shore and rode along.
The scabbard is far more precious than the sword ten times more precious, and since the fairies of the lake can give the sheath as a gift, it is not a big deal to leave the sword in Artoria's custody for the time being.
Just looking at this familiar golden sword, Artoria was filled with emotion for a while.
How many ups and downs this sword has been with him, when it comes back to him, he has to abandon it, and he always feels a little unbearable.
She could more or less understand the meaning of Nightstar's phrase "The sword has a soul".
Pulling the golden sword out of its scabbard, Artoria tried to put the sword in the stone. After all, Avalon is a scabbard that matches the Sword of Oath Victory, and not all swords. However, when Artoria inserted the sword in the stone, something unexpected happened to her.
The sword in the stone, which did not match the scabbard, suddenly emitted a golden light, and the sword of victory of the oath that had been set aside also resonated, and then turned into golden particles and attached to the sword body of the sword in the stone.
These two top-level holy swords actually fused!
The new sword that appeared after the fusion was a perfect match for Avalon. Although the shape is dominated by a sword in the stone, while holding the sword, Artoria also feels that even if she uses the shape of the "Sword in the Stone", she can release the "Sword of Victory in the Pledge" - the Oath Cannon!
This is really an action that can only be described as a bumper harvest.
The only regret was that on the way back, the magician Merlin left again. Looking at the magician's back, Artoria knew it was the last time she saw him.
The legend about the death of the magician Merlin Artoria had the privilege of hearing about it.
Legend has it that Merlin fell in love with a young girl, one of the fairies of the lake, whose name was Yi Miao. Merlin pursued her all the time, barely allowing her a moment to rest. She made Merlin willing to teach her all sorts of skills. Merlin is infatuated with her and reluctant to leave her.
Merlin told Artoria that he would die soon, no matter how capable he was, and that he would be buried alive. He also told Artoria that she had much to do with her, and advised her that she must take care of the sword and its scabbard. He also sued King Arthur that one day she would lose herself. "At that time, even if you were willing to use all the fields, you would not be able to exchange me back."
Artoria thought for a moment and said, "Now that you have mastered all the spells, you can be prepared to deal with them, use your spells, and eliminate all the misfortunes." ”
Merlin replied, "No, it can't be done. Then he took his leave, and a moment later the fairy of the lake came to say goodbye.
Later they arrived in Cornwall. Merlin kept an eye on the fairy in the lake, and tried to get her virgin love, much to her annoyance. She wanted to run away from him, but she was so afraid of his spells that she couldn't get out. Once, Merlin happened to show her "Rock Bottom Shuttle", which was a kind of magic, so Merlin walked under a large rock. The fairy of the lake then used magic to fix him in the rock, and no matter what spell Merlin used, he could not escape. From then on, the fairy on the lake left Merlin.
To be honest, when she learned the cause of Merlin's death, Artoria really didn't understand why she was so stubborn in pursuing fairies when she knew she was going to die. Could it be that someone as powerful as Merlin could fall for someone else's love magic?
When Artoria returned to the palace alone, she suddenly found the members of the Knights of the Round Table rapidly assembling. With her newfound sword and scabbard in hand, she found the Night Star, who was conducting the command.
"What's going on? Is there an invasion of enemy countries? ”
"No, Britain has almost completed its unification, and now the British Isles are still making trouble, and there is no need for the Knights of the Round Table to go out en masse. And the Roman Empire is still some time away from attacking. ”
"And what are you going to do here?"
Artoria became more and more curious.
"I heard that Lancelot was out on a tour when he spotted a dragon attacking a human village."
"I see, the dragon really deserves to be killed, but is that dragon really that powerful? Lancelot can't even resist it? Need the entire Order to be dispatched? ”
"No, I don't think it will be long before Lancelot kills that dragon."
"Then you still have"
Unexpectedly, Night Sky Star rolled his eyes, "The wisdom of mortals." How can there be a sense of accomplishment in subduing a dragon when you kill a dragon? Although you King Arthur is called the King of Knights, you don't even have a horse, it's a shame to say it! No, a dragon finally popped out, why don't you catch it as a mount? ”
“”
Artoria was completely speechless. When she heard that the dragon had attacked her people, her first instinct was to kill her people, and she didn't expect it at all. But then again, as a knight king, she doesn't have a suitable mount, which is really inferior. Now that I think about it, if I can really tame this evil dragon into a mount, it will definitely be a very interesting thing. Artoria was thrilled just thinking about it.
Dragon Knight, this is already the highest honor of a knight.
Artoria had to admit that although Nightstar sometimes spoke a bit badly, some of his opinions were indeed worth considering.
Thinking of this, Artoria also found a horse to join the ranks of the Knights of the Round Table.
The leader of the team is still Night Star, she is just participating in this operation as an ordinary knight, and by the way, she wants to tame the evil dragon on the battlefield herself. (To be continued......)
