Chapter 18: Hell

What hell is is a question whose answer is constantly changing.

In the traditional Celtic culture, there are only two parts of the fairy country, the fairy country and the mortal world, one part of the fairy country is biased towards darkness and death, and the other part is full of light, with never-ending banquets and hunting activities.

When Christianity was introduced to Western Europe, the fairy country was artificially divided into two, namely "heaven" and "hell", and the Celtic world became three parts.

"But there is no clear demarcation between heaven and hell, we just forcibly named them."

Merlin's wand is on the ground, and a complex model of the worldview appears on the ground.

"To make it easier for you to understand, those worlds of darkness and death, we will call them hell."

"So, why did Sister Morgan say that if you go to hell, you can't come back?"

Merlin shook his head: "Because there is no light in hell, and all souls are blindly attacking each other in it. ”

"Usually the souls that go to hell are evil people, or cruel and murderous people. When they are defeated a few times in their soul state, they will be cleansed of their resentment and reincarnated. ”

"Powerful knights or druids, on the other hand, will stay in the fairy country after death and will not be reincarnated. And once they fall into hell, they will fight forever and never find a way out. ”

"You, the born-again, and Mordred, have powerful souls. So once you go to hell to look for Mordred, you will also fall into it. ”

Kano seemed to grasp the crux of the matter: "If I go to hell to find Mordred, I will fall into it." ”

"Then you can let him come to me?"

Merlin nodded: "That's right, we can somehow get Mordred out of hell and fight you by himself." ”

"But how exactly am I going to do that?"

In response to Kano's question, Merlin pulled out a small bottle containing a drop of crimson blood.

"It's King Arthur's blood, now smear it on your sword."

Kano summoned his own oak sword and smeared Arthur's blood on the spine of the sword. The blood was immediately absorbed by the oak sword, and a light dark red pattern was imprinted on the sword's body.

"All you have to do is travel through the secret realms and use this sword to defeat the grievances left by famous warriors." Merlin made a close-in gesture, "Those grudges will be focused on your sword. ”

"So, when I hold a sword soaked in King Arthur's blood and full of resentment. Mordred will appear in front of me? ”

Kano knew that Mordred's side sword was the Sword of Clarent, also made by the nymph of the lake.

During the Battle of the Sword Railing, Mordred mortally wounded King Arthur with the Sword of Clarent. The sword was soaked in King Arthur's blood.

The last sword was left where he died, and now it is lost.

"Maybe... It can only be said that maybe. Merlin touched his long beard, "Instinctual Mordred will frantically pursue his weapon and snatch the sword." ”

"Because it is not only his weapon, but also proof of being the heir to the country. He is obsessed and will not turn a blind eye. ”

Kano nodded, understanding Merlin's plan. He tasted the product and said: "It's like a game, first play the little monster leveling, and finally play Mordred? ”

Merlin was stunned for a moment and nodded: "It's somewhat similar to chess." ”

Kano is actually talking about the miscellaneous soldiers and bosses in the video game, which Merlin certainly doesn't understand.

As for where there is a mad warrior grudge, this is not a problem.

There have been too many tragic battles in this land, not to mention the knightly battles of the Arthurian era, the battle between Ulster and Connaught, and the internal battles and battles within the Knights of Fiona.

Even if their souls have entered the fairy country, those grudges from the battle are still left on the battlefield.

"I'd suggest you set off again next year's holidays, after all, druids are your job." Merlin didn't forget to remind Kano of his roots.

"Can I use magic against Mordred or the grudges of the warriors?"

"Powerful knights can directly flick off the spell, and when ordinary wizards chant spells, knights of the same level may rush in front of you."

"But you're in a special situation, you can omit the spell and mobilize the plant directly, which will give your knight some advantages in battle." Merlin smiled and stroked his beard.

"And Mordred's situation is even more special, according to your growth rate, probably next year, you will know why."

Kano nodded, and it seemed that he could only reason with them with plants and spears and swords.

"Isn't a wizard as good as a knight?"

"Of course not, when the wizard is protected in the center of the military array, he can release spells to his heart's content, and this is how we can maximize our abilities."

"And wizards are also more diverse than knights, knights are pure killing machines."

"Of course, at Dumbledore's level, it doesn't matter if you're a knight or a wizard."

Merlin was satisfied with Kano's growth, and the two talked for a long time in the moonlight, until the moon was in the middle of the day, and the effect of the ritual was about to wear off, and the two said goodbye to each other.

"Teacher, you say, after I defeat Mordred, can I bring him back to the fairy country?"

Merlin shook his head solemnly: "I don't know. Today's news is what I found out with Morgan. She's also hurt a bit because of it, so I'm here for you today. ”

Kano was secretly determined to find a way to get Mordred out of hell.

As for Mordred's own opinion, this one does not matter. He has been in hell for more than a thousand years, and any resentment should be put down.

Even Merlin and Morgan reconciled, what else is impossible?

In the hammock made of oak branches, Kano woke up suddenly. His soul returned from the gap between the two worlds, covered in the dew of the night.

The oak robe on his body instantly became dry, and Kano put on his school robe and stood up, and the hammock under him retracted into the tree.

The doors of the school opened silently, and Kano knew that it was the door that Dumbledore had left for him.

When he returned to the Gryffindor common room, the Halloween carnival was going on, and Harry, Ron, and Hermione were relatively silent.

"Kano, you don't know what just happened!" Harry stood up excitedly, and Ron interjected.

"Miss Granger, who is the most obedient to the school rules, actually lied to the professor in order to protect us."

Kano knew what was going on, of course, and the three little ones worked together to knock out the trolls, refresh their impressions of each other, and form an unbreakable friendship.

They eagerly shared the story with Kano, and then curiously asked where he had just gone.

"I'm just taking advantage of Halloween to go out for a walk, and this holiday has a special meaning for me."

After simply sending the children away, Kano began to think about where he should go during the holidays as he lay in bed.

Going to Lancelot's Castle of Pleasure? The former site of the Camelot Knights' Tournament? Or the place of the six circles of Cúchulainn's massacre?

It seems that some are too radical, in case they run into Lancelot directly, the dead and humiliated Ranmaroke or the mad Cúchulain, the three Cano tied together will not be enough for them to kill.

When the time comes, let's find a few ancient battlefields to practice your hands, Kano thought to himself, and slowly fell asleep.
