Chapter Eighty-Three: A Woman Who Longs for Light But Sticks to Darkness
"Commander, what are we going to do next. Gawain asked.
"Tomorrow we're going to talk to that woman, who might be the difference between victory and defeat. Arthur said.
The identity of the black-armored knight is confusing, and now he doesn't even know the specific ability, and if he really fights, Arthur can't do it directly without the scabbard protector, although he doesn't know who Wang Du has such a great ability to force him out, and it is expected that the pattern of the royal capital will become clearer after he goes back.
Now there is no evidence that the Black Knight is a bad person, and it is better to have one more friend than one more enemy, and the woman who looks like a witch has become the most crucial point of this incident.
The next morning, Arthur and Gawain woke up early, and the two changed into a normal dress they bought yesterday, pretending to be traveling adventurers, so as to reduce the possibility of revealing their identities.
Since the assassination, Arthur has also learned from Morgan that his situation is not as simple as it seems. The Holy Sword EXcalibur itself is the biggest attraction, as one of the three major holy weapons in the continent, whoever gets it is much more useful than Arthur.
Because many people know that the holy land of Avalon is the land of kings, and countless brave men have been helped by the fairies of the lake and Merlin to become the lord of a country.
EXcalibur is a sword of kings, not many people know about it but there are many people, this sword has never appeared, and now Arthur has become the biggest threat in itself when he gets this sword.
This is the reason why Arthur has the identity of a white dragon, he can't prevent people from being driven by desire.
Letting him come out this time does not rule out the suspicion of borrowing a knife to kill people.
The early morning mist hangs over the entire upper part of the Esien forest with a hazy beauty. The fog in the morning made Gawain even more worried about today's trip, he had always thought that his injury or sacrifice was secondary, and if something happened to Arthur, he felt ashamed of his years of cultivation of Adamantium.
The two of them followed the path at the entrance of the village to the Esim Forest, and slowly walked through the misty forest, during which Gawain kept walking in front of Arthur, so that he could detect the situation in advance.
But Gawain didn't know at all that under the protection of the dragon soul, Arthur, who had dragon attributes during the day, walked in the forest and knew that these mist could not hinder his vision at all.
Listening to the sound of all things, although the time is not effective, but in general, the five senses have been strengthened to the limit of the human body.
The Essin Forest is very vast, connected to the mountains in the distance, the entire forest is full of materials, there are many animals and plants, the most important thing is that the level of the magic beasts here is not high, since the mysterious black knight settled here, the Esin Forest can not see large magic beasts.
The prosperity of the village where Arthur rested had a lot to do with the Essien Forest.
According to Orion's words yesterday, the castle lord's sister lives in a house by the lake, and can be reached by going straight southwest direction. Arthur's current perception range is terrifying, and Gawain lost his way several times, and it was Arthur's guidance that he did not go the wrong way.
The two walked for more than 2 hours before the mist in mid-air gradually dissipated.
With the blue waves rippling in the distance, the sunlight shining on the eyes, and the golden streaks of water in front of the eyes, Arthur and Gawain passed through the last few tall trees to finally reach the central lake of the Essien Forest.
Oracle Lake.
Legend has it that in the old kingdom, a young prince was guided by the heavens, and the voice of the apocalypse came, and later generations named the lake "oracle" to commemorate that experience.
As soon as Arthur arrived here, there were a few short and beautiful singing voices in his ears, this language he couldn't understand was not the language of the mainland, and after listening to this voice, the magic in Arthur's body flowed quickly.
"Gawain, did you hear the woman's singing?" asked Arthur, frowning.
Gawain was admiring the beautiful lake and surrounding scenery, and was a little caught off guard by Arthur's question. "Ah~ I'm sorry, I didn't hear anything. ”
Maybe it's a fragment of the past, Arthur whispered, but the song clearly has a restorative effect.
Arthur patted Gawain on the shoulder and pointed to the lake. "This water should be drinkable. ”
The two of them each took a pinch of water and drank it carefully. Cool, sweet with a hint of minerality.
"This is much better than mineral water, and if you bring it back, it will definitely kill Master Kang and the farmer Sanquan. Arthur laughed.
Gawain didn't know how to answer this question after listening to it, what Master Kang, the farmer had never heard of the three fists, Gawain looked at Arthur with some sympathy, thinking about the place where the Sith would understand Arthur's current mood, the Sith was notoriously poor, and he couldn't even drink fresh water.
"Well, you're right. Gawain was a little embarrassed and said softly in a tone that couldn't bear to stimulate Arthur.
Arthur looked at Gawain's embarrassed look and scratched his head, not knowing what he said wrong. "There is someone 700 meters ahead, I don't know if it's the woman we're looking for. ”
Gao Wen looked at him even more worriedly, this change of topic is too stiff, Gao Wen don't turn around. "I'm sorry Captain Arthur, I'm not a man of many words. ”
Arthur was also a little puzzled, how did the conversation between the two feel right and wrong, and the most terrifying thing was that the right channel could still have a normal conversation, which was too sassy.
"That...... It's okay. ”
After a small episode in the middle, neither of them knew how to communicate with each other, one was a time-traveler with 21st century theories, the other was a handsome and elegant medieval knight, Gawain was not a person from Bedwell or the Sith after all, although he and Arthur did not get along for a short time, they rarely got along alone, and they didn't know what to say.
The conversation came to an abrupt end, and the two walked silently, turning the glossy Oracle Lake to the end of the trip.
In the foreground, a man dressed in black stood in front of a modest house, looking at guests from afar like a dead tree.
The environment was originally full of greenery, but suddenly it turned into late autumn, and the leaves of the trees fluttered down like snow, and the ground was covered with a layer of brown and yellow leaves. The dense forests on both sides gradually became bare, but the withered yellow leaves were endlessly scattered, and Gawain frowned deeply. "Arthur, we should get out of here. ”
Why? Because Gawain felt deep fear, this feeling was like the feeling of fighting Morgan that day, the woman was so strong that Gawain knew that he was invincible, and even gave him a feeling no weaker than Morgan.
Gawain drew the sword of reincarnation victory, the blade of the sword burned like a flame, and the falling leaves flashed through the open space within a radius of 5 meters for Gawain and Arthur, where the two of them stood revealed the original color of the earth, but the place where the woman stood was full of dead leaves.
The three of them looked at each other as if in two worlds, and the woman could clearly see the changes in Arthur and Gawain's faces, but the eyes of the two men were isolated by the woman's headscarf.
"The two of them are Baron Arthur, the head of the Knights of Fallin, and Knight Gawen, the deputy head of the Knights, I don't know what you are doing with me?" The woman's voice was like a dead tree, shriveled and gloomy.
The cold light on Gao Wen's face was even better, and the holy sword in his hand flashed with dazzling fire, rising into the sky.
Suddenly, Arthur slapped Gawain on the shoulder, and the divine power of the holy sword vanished.
"Miss, I know that you are not a bad person, and you also know that I am not a bad person, everyone is not a bad person, why make trouble so that both sides can't get off the stage. I'm here to deal with the Black Knight, and I have little to do with you. ”
After hearing this, the woman stared at Arthur for several minutes, and the cold aura and sense of murder filled the surroundings.
Arthur looked at him, and for a moment, the woman said gloomily. "Come in. ”
The door to the room suddenly opened automatically, and the woman walked in after speaking.
Not long after she entered, the dead leaves on the ground disappeared, and the surroundings returned to green life, as if it had just been an empty dream.
"Gawain, the beauty and ugliness of the outside cannot represent the heart of a person. Like I said, witches don't have to be good people, and churches don't have to be bad people. The eyes can see many things, but the only thing they can't see is the heart. ”
"People are appearanceists, so some people have to rely on their hearts to realize that she is not a witch and you can rest assured. Arthur smiled and looked at Gawain.
Gawain's face was a little ashamed, to Arthur, to the lady, but for Arthur's safety, he didn't completely let his guard down.
"This is a lesson for me. Gawain clenched his right hand into a fist in front of his chest.
Arthur nodded at Gawain, maybe that's why Gawain was perfect.
He is lucky to be reborn in this era and become the most critical person, the future is not unchangeable, but first you need to change yourself and the people around you.
What changes in the future depends on the decisions made now, and being a time-traveler can change everything.
