As the sun sets, the tide begins to rise, and the charming dusk descends on the River Liffey in Dublin, the capital of Ireland.

A ring of erected stones stands on Ireland's rugged west coastline, overlooking the reef thousands of feet below and the islands dot the bay from above.

Standing on a stone looking out at the River Liffey in Ireland, the Earl of William could see the torrent of history unfold on the banks of the River Liffey without the need to use the Gold of Destiny, which for thousands of years quietly looked up at the lonely hilltop while watching the history of Ireland with cold eyes.

Among them is the history of the Fiona Warriors, and how Saint Patrick crossed the ocean to Ireland, in which William seems to have seen the historical scene of Prince Liam leading his army to meet witches in the turbulent river, and now as a little blacksmith, he himself who was canonized as an earl by King Arthur will also become a part of the history of Ireland, like his predecessors, remembered by the River Liffey.

The Liffey River is the mother river of Ireland, irrigation nourishes the life of the country, carries the emotions of the nation, the British likable Thames, the quiet Don River, the Rhine River that has become a symphony, the Tiber River, the Danube, the Euphrates River in the classical era, not to mention the Ganges River and the Yellow River.

The river became a symbol of the country and a carrier of national feelings, and William was full of emotion in his heart, and according to his fate, he would become the king of Ireland next.

King Arthur walked beside William in a fine silk suit, and the king and earl walked together, admiring the waves of the River Liffey together, and from the historical fate of Ireland, the fate of England and Europe as well as each other.

"If historical time is a mighty river, then the wonderful time left by each of us in history is one splash after another, shining in the sun."

King Arthur and William walked down the road chatting casually, looking for topics at random, and the two walked along the road and chatted with each other, from historical myths and stories to the scenery along the way, and the relationship between the two was also very strange.

King Arthur canonized William as Earl of Avalon and made him a member of the Knights of the Round Table, and the relationship between the two was that of a monarch and a knight, but King Arthur did not see himself as a monarch, and William did not see himself as a knight.

The two are friends, but King Arthur seems to know some information about William, and William's impression of King Arthur is only the majestic knight king in a certain anime and game, it can be said that he doesn't know anything about King Arthur in this world, and it is not correct for the two to say that they are friends.

If the two of them share the same ambition, then only the dragon is the link between the two. It's just that King Arthur talked to William, but he didn't want to talk about the dragon, let alone that person.

"Summer is coming, and the water droplets on the lotus leaves shine like pearls in the sun, but pearls always flash in the sun, and the two are not the same, Your Majesty. Just like the small waves rolled up in the waves, they cannot be compared with the big river. ”

William interrupted King Arthur, who had already lost patience and impatience with the aimless conversation he was doing, and now he had more urgent and important things to do.

"You look like him! He said the same thing. ”

After listening to William's words, King Arthur's handsome face showed a trace of surprise, and he stared at William's face closely, as if he saw something worth remembering, "I once taught him that as long as he carries out a great cause, just like a drop of water on a lotus leaf, it can also bloom with the brilliance of pearls." But he told me that the drops of water are always droplets, and that the droplets of water dissipate when the sun shines, and that the pearls are kept as treasures. ”

"Do you think the existence of water droplets has no meaning in itself?" King Arthur asked William, the expression on his face at this time was melancholy, and his tone couldn't help but have some hesitation, it was he who raised the dragon with his own hands, and his ultimate responsibility was to end the dragon he raised with his own hands.

If the current William is the same as the previous William, then it is tantamount to cultivating another dragon in order to end the evil dragon he raised.

"Of course it is meaningful, in an aesthetic sense, whether it is water droplets and pearls in beauty is indistinguishable, no matter what is equal, the meaning of each other is equal, although whether it is wisdom, martial arts, strategy, talent, I am not as good as you, but in the eyes of each other's mothers, we are the most precious treasures in the world, then Your Majesty, which of us do you think is the most valuable."

William sensed King Arthur's mood disorder at this time, and he appropriately complimented King Arthur to hide his anxiety.

From the point of view of aesthetic concepts, whether it is water droplets and pearls are a kind of natural beauty, this beauty is indistinguishable, with the same value, for idealists, as long as they can shine the brilliance of pearls, then there is no difference between water droplets and pearls, from a philosophical point of view, beauty is beauty, beauty is not superior, but from a practical point of view, can not always exist, a large number of flooded water droplets do not have the realistic value of pearls, even if it has the brilliance of pearls.

King Arthur was clearly an idealist, and for an idealist, King Arthur always wanted to do his best, so you can't discuss realism with him.

"Yes, the lust for profit is consumed, all he thinks of is money power, and all he wants is money power, such a person will never get the most precious thing in the world, he is destined to have no lovers, friends, subordinates to embellish his glory and wealth, and share his glory."

King Arthur sighed softly, but looked at William, not knowing whether he was talking about the evil dragon he had personally taught, or William in front of him.

"I can help you fend off the dragon and buy you time, but I also have my conditions, that is, please break up with Lily, and you can't be united." King Arthur said with a solemn expression.

"Why, Lily, she didn't make a mistake." William was puzzled that Lily was kind to him, how could he abandon the other party for no reason, even if the marriage contract was only political.

"When I teach dragons, I don't think I've done anything wrong, William. If you want to be favored by fate and fight him, you must give up Lily. ”

King Arthur explained that Lily was the embodiment of the Celtic gods, the goddess Erius, and that marrying her was tantamount to marrying Ireland, but that the Celtic gods were not limited to Ireland, and that Britain and the whole world were shrouded in the light of the gods.

"The evil dragon has the present in the gold coins of fate, even if you have both the past and the future, there is not much chance of winning, the three gold coins of fate are the strongest with the gold coins of the present, he occupies the present, you can weaken your future, and the past represents death, it is difficult to change the future."

Changing time, changing history, means changing fate.

The timeline and the line of fate are closely linked, so the three goddesses of Norse mythology Nolan and the three goddesses of fate in Greek mythology are also considered the three goddesses of fate.

Among the three goddesses of Nolen's time, the eldest daughter Urd is in charge of the "past", the second daughter Verthandi is in charge of the "present", and the younger daughter Skuld is in charge of the "future".

"Why, is the dragon so strong? Even you are no match for dragons, are you? You're his master! ”

William said in shock, King Arthur said that he had no chance of winning was really surprising to him, you must know that King Arthur is the eternal king of Britain, is the master of his evil dragon, he is stronger than the evil dragon, and King Arthur should have a better chance of winning if he is on his side.

"Because I am the master of the evil dragon, the evil dragon has been carefully taught by me, the king of eternity, and I have done my best, so even I am no match for him now."

A bitter smile appeared at the corner of King Arthur's mouth, and there was not only remorse but also pride in his tone.

"Then you can teach me the same way!"

William didn't think it was a big deal, but he looked at King Arthur's eyes full of meaning and realized that he had lost his words.

"You can't, I don't have the energy and time to teach you, the dragon has been a prince since he was a child, has the best education, was taught by the great magician Hans Christian Andersen, broke into my palace at a young age, received my education, I taught him the martial arts and virtues of knights, the study of kings and military strategy, ancient poetry, Greek literature, and fairies taught him magic, tasting precious magical food in Avalon's independent and almost stagnant time......"

King Arthur explained, it doesn't matter if you don't say it, it makes William's brows furrow more and more, can such an enemy still be defeated by himself?

"You must not have given him not only your blood, but also your sword and other treasures?"

William couldn't help but ask, and King Arthur heard William's inquiry, and just nodded in acquiescence, "It's not just my holy sword, holy spear, scabbard, and holy grail." ”

It's over, the holy sword, the holy spear, and the scabbard have all been given to the other party, and even the legendary holy grail has been handed over to the other party, how can you let me fight like this.

It turns out that King Arthur really found the legendary Holy Grail at the end of his life.

"Can I surrender?" William smiled helplessly.

King Arthur looked at him and shook his head, "Although it is not easy to defeat the other party, and it may be difficult, but you yourself should know very well that you have a common root, you are both sons born to the same mother, just like water droplets and pearls, for that mother, they are all the same beautiful and precious treasures, which means that you have the same qualifications." Therefore it is possible for you to overcome the other side. ”

"And what if I failed?" William asked rhetorically.

"I'm going to seal this memory of yours, and if you get to the point where it's so urgent that you can't do it again, then this memory will be unsealed."

King Arthur said with a woman-like sorrow in his eyes, looking at William's eyes like a master looking at his disciple, and his parents looking at him as his own child, which was his most perfect work.

"The real reason why you can't defeat him is not because you lack strength but because you lack experience, and your victory is not now, nor in the future. And in the past, you will go back in time, you will not remember yourself, as that child who experienced everything he went through, became the Duke of Normandy, was hunted down by his own uncle, under the cover of his own teacher Andersen, came to my palace alone to become my student, to receive my education, to go through all kinds of things, to grow. ”

After King Arthur finished speaking, William felt his body become heavy and his vision began to dizzy.

"In this way, his experience is your experience, and his power is also power, but the choices you make in history are not necessarily his choices, and I am so worried because I am afraid that you have the same essence as him, so even if you go back to the past, I am afraid that you will go down the old path......"

William's vision was blurred, and as he was about to fall asleep, King Arthur's voice grew lower and lower until he could no longer hear him.
