When night falls, the perched birds will sleep.

In the cozy room, the mother urges the child to sleep.

The mischievous child did not give up, crying and making trouble, I want to listen to the story! The story of a big hero!

Well, the mother smiled dotingly, touched the child's head, and this will give you a good talk.

In the West, myth and history are often inextricably linked.

For example, King Arthur is widely known.

He has been mythologized and has become a symbol of benevolence and virtue in people's minds.

According to legend, he was once a human beloved by the gods, and not only did he have the status of a king, but he even had the great sage and archmage Merlin to assist him, and the twelve knights of the round table to guard him.

But who, these are not enough to become the reason why he dominates the world and is invincible and mythologized by the world.

King Arthur really became a member of mythological history from a legend -

A sword in the stone.

There is such a place in the world.

It is not open during the day and not at night, and only in the evening, following the traces of the sun and the moon, and those with noble virtues, can go.

It was the abode of the gods, and the seven fairy queens who excelled in magic lived in the lake of pure water in Avalon, guarded by the Green Knight and various magical creations.

There is no death, no sickness, no trouble, no suffering, it is the bliss of this world.

Ordinary people obviously can't come to the world of the gods.

But King Arthur was different, he was the chosen son of God.

In order to deal with the red dragon, according to legend, he went through many tests and came to Avalon.

In the middle of the Lake of Pure Water in Avalon, there is a Stone of the Heart.

In the stone, there is a peerless sword, it has no name, so it is called "sword in the stone" by later generations, and only those who are recognized can pull it out.

In order to slay the red dragon, King Arthur must obtain the sword in the stone.

Morgan, the queen of fairies, tried his best to make things difficult for him, but in the end King Arthur pulled out the sword.

Since then, the legend of King Arthur has been out of control, and he has conquered the world by killing the Red Dragon and quelling the rebellion, covering half the continent.

It is a pity that this famous king has been betrayed twice.

One time was his own knight of the Round Table, Lancelot, a knight who was raised by the nymphs of the lake and taught him peerless martial arts, but in the end he betrayed his monarch and had an affair with Queen Guinevia, causing a bloody war of love and hatred.

The second time, it was Mordred, the illegitimate son of King Arthur and Morgan, who seized the opportunity to kill King Arthur in one fell swoop, and finally succeeded in killing the peerless king on the throne.

King Arthur's legendary life ended in two betrayals, incredibly fast, and finally Morgan, who had been against him all his life, sent him back to the island of Avalon with his two sisters to rest in the lake.

When the story is finished, the mother gently kisses the top of the child's head, like an angel kissing the Holy Child, and it's time for you to sleep.

The child was still immersed in the story, and he said with some excitement, I will also become King Arthur in the future!

After saying that, he was indignant, blaming the damn Lancelot, without him, maybe King Arthur could have been greater.

Mother smiled, silly child, how can it be so easy, King Arthur is just a mythical character created based on a wise monarch in history, if you can really become a legend by virtue of high morality, maybe there won't be so much ugliness in the world, okay, go to sleep.

Well, the child nodded, and then asked in confusion: "Mom, if Avalon is the abode of the gods, Elysium, then why is it occupied by the nine immortal queens?" ”

He bit his lip, his eyes full of puzzlement: "These witches love to play tricks on people, and they also like to provoke conflicts and wars, not at all like some kind gods, under their leadership, those who fail to pass the test or strayed into Avalon are brutally tortured and killed, Avalon is like hell for ordinary people!" ”

This!

Mother was stunned, she had never thought about it.

Oh, yes...... It's not so much the fairy queen as it is, the goblin.

Okay, go to sleep, the mother avoids the topic and wants to hurry to put the child to sleep.

But the child refused, and continued: "I have heard that they are not yet shameless, and like to seduce men, Archmage Merlin was imprisoned in Avalon by Vivien for a thousand years, King Arthur also gave birth to an illegitimate child with Morgan, and it is said that there are ...... who came to the world in disguise to seduce beautiful men."

The mother listened quietly, did not speak, and kept her head down.

As he spoke, he became more and more dissatisfied: "I think these banshees are simply doves occupying the magpie's nest, taking advantage of the absence of the gods to occupy Avalon privately!" They are the devils who should be destroyed! ”

After the child finished speaking, he looked at his mother: "Mom, are you right?"

The mother did not answer.

The child asked suspiciously, "Mommy?" ”

Mom raised her face expressionlessly and looked at him: "Shut up......"

The child was frightened.

The mother's eyes were indifferent, as if she was looking at a stranger.

Then the house began to tremble violently.

A strong wind blew outside the window, and the window was slammed open, and the shadows of the trees outside the door swayed their branches, casting a chaotic shadow into the room, like the devil opening his teeth and claws.

Mother stood up, the shadows dragging long in the moonlight.

"Mom...... Mom? ”

The child stared blankly at his mother.

The woman's long hair began to flutter as her feet lifted off the ground, as if she had been shown in a TV series.

The fairy queen, or the enchantress, gently walked up to the child and stroked his cheek: "You are as smart as your father, I admire smart people, but I also hate smart people, then, go down there and accompany him." ”

The child's voice trembled and said, "Mom." What are you talking about? You're not my mom? Who are you? You witch, give me back your mother! ”

There was no emotion in the woman's eyes: "Whether it is a demon girl or a fairy queen, we are the lord of Avalon, and the gods have abdicated, so we will rule the fairyland!" ”

Outside the window, lightning flashed and thundered, and a bolt of lightning streaked across the sky, leaving only one person in the room.

The fairy queen looked at the quiet streets outside, there were still lights on in many small buildings, the world was actually very stable, no one would know what was happening here, maybe it would become an unsolved case later.

She licked the corners of her delicate lips: "The legend has become a reality, can you accept it?" As the curtain rises, we have to wait for an opportunity to find an opportunity, Avalon's world is too small......"

The fairy queen walked to the windowsill, looked at the night sky overhead, and thoughtfully:

"Thousands of years ago, that man took the sword in the stone, is there still such a person in the world now? If we can't find the right guy, our plan will be in vain......"

She thought for a while, and smiled: "No matter, it's hard to come to this world, let's have fun first, well, I remember that the royal family here once made an appointment with us, hehe......"

Another flash of lightning flashed, and after the thunder, the house was empty.
