On the shores of Lake Avalon

"Vivien, are you there? I, Holy Mage, Merlin, pray for your help. Merlin fell on one knee and cried out to the lake.

"Merlin, you dare to come back!" said a woman peeking out of the lake, gritting her teeth when she saw Merlin, "You have been gone for thirty-two years and one hundred and seventy-five days!

"Vina, it's me who is bad, I apologize to you. Merlin bowed his head, "But, please get your help." ”

"Why? Give me a reason!" "Why should I help a liar, coward, scum!"

"Vena, you can say anything you want about me, because it's really me who did wrong, and if you want to scold me, scold me as much as you want, as long as it makes you happy, you can do anything. ”

"Teacher. Arthur reached out to do something.

"Arthur, don't interject, this matter has nothing to do with you. ”

"Teacher, if it weren't for the fact that I broke the sword, you wouldn't be here anymore, it's all my fault, how can you say that it has nothing to do with me!"

"Merlin, you actually took a knight as a student!" Vivien looked at Merlin, and then turned to look at Arthur, "Is it all like this out there now?

"Vivien, you can say whatever you want about me, but you can't say that about him!" Merlin stood up, "He is King of all England, child of the great King Uther, and the only heir of the Pendragon family, Arthur Pendragon!"

"Oh, is Uther's child dead? Vivien regained her composure, "Come here, kid, let me take a good look at you." Vivien held out her hand to Arthur, who walked over and put her hand on Arthur's face, "Your lips are like your father's, and your eyebrows are like, and I see Uther's eyes in you." Laugh at it, don't be so rigid, your father is a funny young man, why is his child so serious and not funny. ”

"Do you know my father? Can you tell me about him?"

"Your father, Uther, is a rather interesting lad!" said Vivien, with a wistful expression, "naively like a child, talking about building a country where everyone is equal, without class, without oppression, without hunger, without cold. How ridiculous, human beings have **, and ** determines that Yusher's wish cannot be realized, but he knows this but is still trying, saying that 'as long as you work hard, even if you don't succeed, it's not a failure.'" "It's not me who is wrong, it's this world where the desires run rampant!" "I'm different!" "My dreams will come true, that's the truth!"

"Is this what my father wants?" Arthur's eyes shone brightly.

"Hey, you don't want to fulfill your father's dreams, do you?" Vivien was surprised.

"My father's ideal was right, why can't I also aim for it?"

"Forget it, let's not talk about you. Vivien felt that there was no point in talking to Arthur any more. "If you insist on this, there is a sword that suits you well, wait for me," Vivien said and sank again, and after a while, Vivien came up with three swords and gave one of them to Arthur, "Remember, this sword is only lent to you, and whatever happens in the end, you must return it before you die." ”

Arthur took the sword, "This is the sword of kings, 'Cutting Steel'! Remember, this sword is powerful, but its scabbard is more precious, and whoever wields it will recover no matter what wounds it has suffered, and you must not lose it!" Merlin said to Arthur.

Arthur looked at the long sword made of gold, the hilt of which was inlaid with gems, and he liked it very much, and drew the sword, revealing the blade, and the cold light was like water.

"Lancelot, my child, you're back. Vivien said as if she had just spotted Lancelot.

"Yes, Mama Vivien, I'm back. ”

"You've decided to follow this kid, haven't you?"

"Yes. ”

"Then the sword will be handed over to you. Vivien handed the second sword to Lancelot, "This sword is called 'Arondaite'! it is as hard as the Steel Blade, if not surpassed!" Lancelot took the blue sword that glowed with a pale blue light.

"Thank you, Vena, I owe you one more time. ”

"Merlin, this time it's not for you, I'm just looking at Yuser's face!" Vivien still lost her temper.

"Vina, when this is over, I will come back to accompany you. ”

"Who wants you to accompany you, don't be sentimental. Vivien turned to hide the flush on her face.

"Vina, then we'll go back. ”

"Wait, I'll go with you too. All in all, I haven't been to Camelot in years. Vivien emerged from the lake and became an ordinary-looking peasant woman dressed in coarse cloth.

......

A group of five people, riding four horses, galloped towards the city of Camelot, and Merlin and Vivien rode together at the head of the group, and water kept flowing out of the pores of the horses, leaving a trail behind them.

......

"Is this what Camelot is now?" Vivien exclaimed, looking at the thriving town, "It's so different from what it used to be! Anyway, the kid Uther is really a bit successful! It's so lively ahead, what's going on?"

"Oh, today is the day of the tournament for the selection of knights this month, and if I hadn't seen it, I would have forgotten it. Merlin explained to Vivien.

"Hey!" a knight spotted the third sword hanging from Vivien's waist, "such a beautiful sword, why don't you pull it out and feast everyone's eyes!"

"This sword cannot be drawn even by the best knight," Vivien threatened, "and only a knight who is both civil and military, and has never committed a crime of obscenity or rebellion, can pull it out!"

"It's just for you to draw your sword and take a look, you're exaggerating!" said the knight.

"If you don't believe me, you can give it a try, and if you pull it out, it won't hurt to give you this sword, but I'm afraid you won't be able to do it!" Vivien sneered.

"What is there to try, first of all, as long as I pull it out, you will give me the sword?"

"That's right, it's not just you, as long as one of the knights present draws a sword, I'll give it to him!"

"Then I'll try it first!" the knight stepped forward, grasped the hilt of the sword with his right hand, and drew it, but the sword did not move at all. The knight took the hilt of his sword with both hands and tugged hard, but he did not move, and the knight's face turned red and he slipped into the crowd.

"Raft, you're too weak to even draw a sword, and you're here to participate in a jousting tournament!" another knight walked up, "I'll try it!"

"Please. Vivien handed the sword to the knight. But he still didn't pull out his sword. One knight after another stepped forward, and one after the other walked back, and none of them could pull out even the slightest bit of their sword.

"Can I try it?" Gavin asked aloud.

"Of course, let's try it. Vivien smiled and handed the sword to Gavin. Gavin, who hadn't had much hope, was surprised to find that he had easily pulled out his sword.

"This sword is called 'Karatin', and it is an extremely sharp long sword, and its sharpness can be compared to the 'Sword in the Stone'. ”
