560. An island in the middle of a lake in the forest
"Clean it up."
The wand in Scott's hand moved from the tip of the knight's spear to the end of the spear.
Inch by inch, the stains and algae on the spear peeled off, revealing their original color.
It was a knight's spear with a bright silver body, with no rust on the surface, only a few notched knife marks on the head, which seemed to be left from past battles.
"You just said it smells of blood?"
Scott sniffed and turned to ask Savanna.
"Is there still one?"
He didn't smell blood just now, and he couldn't smell it even less after cleaning it up.
"And, it's just hidden."
Sawanna frowned, her expression solemn, and there was obvious disgust in her eyes as she looked at the knight's spear.
"Its existence is like the source of a plague that pollutes the environment of nature."
"This gun is a magic item?"
Scott probed with his magic sense, but found nothing out of the ordinary.
He reached out again and gestured with his wand in the air, writing a few shiny runes out of thin air, and then with a flick of his wand, the runes flew towards the knight's spear on the ground.
Laugh at......
Like ice cubes on fire, several runes connected together melted in an instant.
At the same time, a streak of blood spread from the head of the gun to the body of the gun.
"Stand back!"
Savana stood up abruptly and pulled Scott back a few steps.
"Purify!"
She raised her staff, and a vibrant green light instantly shrouded the knight's spear.
Laugh at......
Under the green light, blood-colored smoke also came out of the knight's spear, and the smoke wafted, and the flowers and plants that had grown under Savanna's spell just now withered again.
"Armor protection!"
Scott once again wrapped himself and Sawanna in a magical barrier to avoid contact with the blood-colored smoke.
With a thought, the translucent silver spear that belonged to him flew into the air, then turned its head and stabbed at the scarlet knight's spear on the ground.
While!
In the blood-colored smoke, the scarlet knight's spear seemed to be picked up by someone, blocking Scott's attack with the silver spear.
In the shadow of a moment, a figure appeared in the blood-colored smoke.
This figure doesn't want to have the huge body of a giant like the "Red Knight", but it is also more burly than the average person.
Scott narrowed his eyes, and the silver spear flew into the air again, and under Scott's manipulation, it stabbed towards the figure in the blood-colored smoke like a streamer.
While!
The figure was obviously very agile and highly skilled, even though the silver spear had a speed that ordinary people couldn't see with the naked eye, he still used the scarlet knight spear in his hand to block the stabbing blow again.
"Hey, hey, hey......"
A creepy laugh came from the smoke, and it seemed to be mixed with the howl of the unjust spirit, which was very harsh.
"Hey, hey, hey......"
The billowing blood-colored smoke gradually gathered, and the figures under the smoke gradually became clear.
It was a man dressed in the armor of an ancient knight.
The armor was covered in sword marks and old blood, and there was a hole in his chest.
He also wears a helmet covering his face on his head, and his face cannot be seen clearly, except for a pair of scarlet, glowing eyes.
Not only that, but he was tightly wrapped up and down, without revealing any skin.
The blood-colored smoke seemed to have been sucked up by him, and it was constantly burrowing through the cracks in the armor.
"Who are you?"
Scott beckoned, sending the silver spear flying back in front of him.
"I ...... Be...... Who ......"
Scott's question was repeated, and his voice seemed hoarse and unpleasant, accompanied by a cacophony noise, like a stuttering tape, as if he were not used to talking.
He looked at the armored man with some curiosity, and said to Sawanna, "He is not a ghost, nor is he a living corpse, I have never seen such a situation, nor have I read about it in a book. ”
Sawana shook her head as well, "There is no such record in the druid's lineage."
"I ...... Be...... Who ......"
The armored man spoke again, this time as if he was growling.
"I ...... It's ......"
The cacophony made both Scott and Sawana frown.
"I am ......"
The man in armor raised his head to the sky and roared.
"Mordred!"
"What?"
Sawana was visibly surprised.
"Mordred? How can it be! ”
"I'm Mordred!"
The man in armor yelled again.
His scarlet eyes rolled, as if looking for something.
But it's clear that he's ignoring Scott and Sawanna, who are standing in front of him.
"Arthur!"
Mordred roared like a beast again, and suddenly moved.
"Arthur!"
Holding the blood-stained knight's spear, he ran past Scott like a gust of wind and rushed into the forest behind him.
"Let's keep up!"
Savana turned, and a green aura erupted.
She grabbed Scott's wrist and began to run, following Mordred.
Mordred was extremely fast, and wherever he stood, the flowers and plants around him immediately withered to death, and even the towering trees he passed by would lose their leaves for no apparent reason.
With the blessing of Savanna's spells, Scott and the others did not fall behind, and always followed him far behind.
This time the journey seemed extraordinarily long.
Until Scott ran out of energy, Sawana began to pant, they still did not leave the forest, and Mordred continued to run tirelessly ahead.
"This won't work......"
Scott stopped.
"We ...... It is necessary to save physical strength. ”
He waved his wand, and the ground in front of him suddenly bulged and deformed, turning into a two-seater sleigh.
As he recited the incantation, the sleigh lost its weight and floated.
Then, he used Transfiguration to conjure up two giant cheetahs.
"Let's go!"
He pulled Sawana and jumped on the sleigh and fastened her harness.
"Roaring ......"
The two cheetahs roared and raced through the forest with a levitating sleigh.
Scott pulls out the [Magic Barrier Ball] and creates a magic barrier to cover the sleigh, blocking the oncoming wind.
"I didn't think about ......"
Sawanna was a little embarrassed.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know you still had this lazy magic, I just knew that I was pulling you to run wild."
Scott waved his hand.
He was so tired that he didn't want to speak, so he took out the potion to replenish his strength and gave one to Sawanna.
Sawana shook her head in refusal, and a sparkle of green light flew from her hand holding the long wooden staff, replenishing Scott's and herself's strength, and speeding up her mana recovery.
Scott felt the recovery and put away the potion.
Cheetahs pulling sleds are extremely fast and tireless.
Following the footprints left by Mordred, they soon saw his back running wildly again.
"What do you think ......?"
"What do you think ......"
Scott and Sawana spoke at the same time.
After glancing at each other, Scott made a gesture and motioned for Sawanna to speak first.
"Is he really Mordred?" Savanna's tone was full of uncertainty.
"Who knows."
Scott, of course, couldn't judge.
"It looks like it's in the books."
Savana recalls the account of that history.
"At the end of the Battle of Kamran, King Arthur's spear stabbed Mordred behind the shield and pierced his body."
Scott said: "Only the fate of King Arthur has been recorded, and there seems to be no record of Mordred's body. ”
Sawana said in a speculative tone, "Maybe the gun...... It was the gun that killed Mordred, and it belonged to King Arthur. ”
Scott guessed as she meant, "King Arthur's body was buried here by the fairies who ruled Avalon, who abandoned the spear that killed Mordred in the stream, and finally formed a monster because of Mordred's blood and grudges?" ”
Sawanna laughs, "It's a common way to write stories. ”
"Follow him." Scott also smiled, "Follow him and we'll see the real answer." ”
Sawanna nodded.
Scott counted the time until another dusk fell, and they finally saw Mordred rush out of the dark forest and into the setting sun.
Beyond the forest is a meadow, and on the meadow is a lake.
It's just that this lake is much smaller than the swamps on the outskirts of Apple Island, and you can even see the opposite shore at a glance.
Mordred ran to the edge of the lake and stopped, looking at the mirror-like reflection of the sky and the island in the middle of it.
Scott also asked the cheetah to stop and watch from afar.
"On that island...... Is it an apple tree? ”
"Yes." Sawanna said, "King Arthur's tomb is there. ”
"Arthur!"
Mordred roared again and jumped into the lake.
Although wearing heavy armor, to him did not sink.
His feet were shrouded in blood-colored smoke, and he ran across the water, as if he were walking on the ground, towards the island in the lake.
"Arthur!"
"Arthur!"
"Arthur ......"
As he ran, he didn't stop yelling, and his voice became more and more poignant.
There was no Green Knight in the lake, and Mordred soon set foot on the island overgrown with apple trees.
"Let's go too."
Scott jumped off the levitating sled, and after Sawanna jumped too, turned around and turned it into a small boat.
Moving the boat to the surface, Scott did not summon Sirein for help, but paddled with Sawana and slowly walked to the island in the lake.
"It's so quiet."
Sawanna looked at the island in the lake with some strange eyes.
After Mordred went up, there was no movement.
Because the apple trees obscured their view, they couldn't see if anything was happening on the island.
"Medea has arrived, too."
Scott suddenly turned his head and looked at the shore of the lake on the other side, just in time to see Medea and Aaron coming out of the woods.
"Just the two of them?" Savana was a little surprised.
"Are you all right?"
Aaron waved at the two men on the boat, with a warm smile on his face.
Scott didn't answer, just nodded.
"It's cold."
Aaron complained as if it were true.
"My dear sister, why don't you come and pick me up in your boat?"
Sawanna said indifferently, "Our ship can't fit you, you can make your own, my dear brother." ”
"Great idea!"
Aaron clapped his hands, took off the short wooden staff hanging from his belt and waved.
Several green vines emerged from the dirt, twisted and bundled together, and soon formed the shape of a boat and fell into the lake.
When the boat was fully formed, the vines growing in the dirt quietly disconnected from the boat.
"Please, dear lady."
Aaron bent down and made a gesture of please to Medea.
When Medea got on board, he jumped on it and grabbed the oars.
"Let's compare."
He laughed merrily.
"Let's see who rows the boat to the island in the middle of the lake first."
Scott and Savana ignored him and continued to paddle at their original speed.
Aaron didn't care, and without Medea making a move, he rowed desperately alone, and soon caught up with Scott and Sawanna, and went hand in hand with their boat.
Scott didn't stop them either.
"Looks like you've had a good trip."
Aaron looked at Scott and Savanna.
"It's not like us, but a few people died along the way."
Talking about the dead, he always had a sunny smile on his face.
"Even my other sister, Maeve, was killed by the Green Knight while crossing the swamp, isn't it?"
Hearing this, Savanna turned her head and looked at him coldly.
"Aren't you guilty at all?" She asked.
"Guilt?"
Aaron tilted his head, and the smile on his face grew brighter.
Scott could even see the sheer joy in his eyes.
"Why should I feel guilty?"
He seemed puzzled.
"Maeve is so stupid, she won't live long in this dangerous world."
Savana closed her eyes and quickly looked away.
"You're right, she's an idiot."
She gritted her teeth and said in a very stiff tone.
"Are you reluctant to give her up?"
Aaron asked Sawanna in a cheerful tone.
"I remember you two didn't have a good relationship."
Sawanna was silent, ignoring him.
Scott was watching Medea.
Medea at this time did not wear a veil or even a gorgeous hat.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone on her flawless face, making her skin glow.
"Do you see what's coming?"
Medea smiled at him in the eyes.
"I can't see it." Scott's face was as usual, "Of course, your real and fake bodies are no different, and it's normal for me not to see it." ”
Hearing him say this, the expression on Medea's face did not change.
"You're right."
Instead, she smiled and nodded.
"Because I didn't get Tom's soul, I couldn't fully recover, and then I was cursed by Tom, and my body not only failed to completely transform into a physical body, but changed back some."
Scott asked, "Is there a way to get you fully resuscitated here?" ”
"Who knows?"
Medea smiled mysteriously and turned her head to look at the island in the middle of the lake, which was getting closer and closer.
She asked, "Have you encountered anything in the forest?" ”
"A bunch of runaway unicorns."
Scott replied very simply.
"They seem to have been polluted by some kind of being, and have completely lost their minds."
"Really?"
Medea nodded, not knowing whether to believe it or not.
"It's a shame we didn't meet anything." She said.
