Merlin appears.
The legendary teacher of King Arthur, the great magician Merlin, actually appeared in front of William in the form of a young man with white hair. If the fate gold coin hadn't felt the powerful fluctuations of fate in his body, it would have been unimaginable for William. The young man who looked like a delinquent in front of him turned out to be the legendary Merlin.
"Hello, Mei Zhongtang, I thought you would be an old man with gray hair, but I didn't expect you to appear like this."
William paid tribute to William and paid high respect to this king's mentor. He knew very well that if he could get Merlin's help, he would undoubtedly gain a lot more confidence in fighting against Duke William. No matter how much he gave to such an ally, No respect can be exaggerated.
"Hello! William!"
Merlin said with a smile. He looked at this young man in a gorgeous dress. His childish face showed a respectful attitude, just like when he saw the other William. It was exactly the same, but he still felt it in him. A hint of gloom.
The King William in front of him didn't seem to be aboveboard enough, and he also had many calculations in his mind. He didn't look like the son of the legendary Hercules and the goddess Hebe at all, nor did he look like a hero.
"What's wrong, Mr. Merlin, is there anything strange on my face?" William touched his face in surprise, feeling that the way Merlin looked at him was a little strange.
Of course he knew that he proposed the idea of marrying King Arthur to Morgan Le Fay, and was disgusted by the other party. Morgan Le Fay neither said yes nor agreed to his request, he just said that he knew it, and then remained silent. Nor did he refuse the offer of help to William.
To this end, she invited Merlin, King Arthur's former mentor, to come out again.
"My eyes saw you, but at the same time they also saw another person. The image of another person overlapped in my eyes." Merlin said suddenly.
"What kind of person is he?" William asked curiously.
"Standing in front of me is a young man wearing silver-white armor. He is about twenty years old. His resolute and beautiful face is full of heroic spirit, his appearance is dignified, and every move is full of the perseverance of a knight and the aristocratic character. Elegant, with golden hair as bright and charming as the sun, he stood on the bow of the ship and put his sword on the board to support his body. He was as perfect as a marble statue."
Merlin told the scene he saw, and there were many flattering words in it. William blushed slightly. After becoming the king, he also received praise from many Irish nobles, and there was no shortage of flattering words in their mouths. He wanted to become The Rigoletto can even be lined up from Dublin to Cushendall (in Northern Ireland), so William already has a lot of tolerance for flattery.
But the person who said these words in front of him was the legendary Merlin, so William's face couldn't help but turn slightly red, and he was very pleased with the compliment.
If Merlin knew that he was so rebellious that he wanted to marry King Arthur, I'm afraid the legendary magician would never forgive him.
William knew this very well. Since he proposed this condition, it was impossible for him and the members of King Arthur's court to restore their original close relationship.
"I cannot bear your praise." William said sheepishly.
Merlin just smiled at William's shyness. His behavior was so calm and calm. Just a trivial compliment was enough to make William confused. This was his ability.
If Morgan le Fay was like this, and before William said that he wanted to marry King Arthur, I am afraid that Morgan le Fay would have told William that Merlin was the legendary leader of the Kua Kua, whether it was King Uther or King Arthur. Or the knights of the Knights of the Round Table can all hear the compliments and compliments from him, and the literate titles and modifiers are never the same.
Gawain has one, Lancelot has one, and even Mordred has one. As long as he wants to praise others, even an insignificant soldier can get a sufficiently glorious and gorgeous title from him, quite like a poet who sings epic poems. Homer, just fine
Merlin directly said, "God-like William."
"You are here, can you help me with anything?" William asked, and at this time he finally got to the point.
The scope of the Celtic Irish gods' divine power is only limited to Celtic and Ireland. Only here can they maintain their status as gods, just like Ireland's patron saint Patrick, only in Ireland can he have the strongest power. When great power appears in other countries, although the power will not disappear completely, there will indeed not be much left.
Morgan le Fay is one of the nine Celtic witches. Her power is also limited. It must be said that the world after the arrival of Father God is not only harsh on the rulers of the old world, but also restricts those on her side. .
Merlin is a magician and a druid. In William's impression, the power of magicians is not as limited as that of gods. If he is willing to devote himself to the battlefield, he will become a powerful trump card for William. It can even change the situation, especially since Merlin is the only civil servant in the Knights of the Round Table. Let's just call him a civil servant. William also values his talents as a king's assistant, and just treating him as a magician would be too contemptuous of his personal abilities other than magic. Talented.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I am here to help you." Merlin said with certainty, "Political speaking, I can serve as your prime minister, and military speaking, I can serve as your military commander. From a magic point of view, I can teach you magic, and from a knowledge point of view, I can teach you knowledge, especially knowledge about this world."
"That sounds really good. Mr. Merlin is really a great talent. Whatever treatment King Arthur gave you, I am willing to give you the same or even better treatment."
"Thank you very much. Your Majesty seems to have the blood of Hercules and the Goddess of Youth flowing through him."
"Yes."
"It seems that you have accomplished extraordinary feats. Do you want to imitate the twelve great feats of Hercules?"
"I have this idea."
"Then I can tell you that you are on a path to death." Merlin said with a smile, with indifference in his eyes, "In this era of alternation between the old and the new, although the rules of the old era are still in effect, they have long been the same. Tomorrow is over, haven't you understood what happened to the Celtic gods who hid in the underground world? Don't you understand why Yi Ling was so stupid that he wanted to become a god in this new world? As a king, you have already You have the fourth level, which is comparable to the authority of pagan gods. As long as you believe in God the Father, as long as you make meritorious deeds, you will become a saint worshiped by the world and be with God." Z.br>
William was stunned. He didn't understand why Merlin asked him like this, "Isn't this natural? I am..."
"But what?" Merlin saw the hesitant expression of William, and a mocking smile appeared on his face, "As expected, you have been controlled by Duke William's inner obsession."
"I don't understand what these words mean." William said confusedly, "Isn't this because I am a time traveler, a selfish and hypocritical person?"
William was trying to convince himself that he was not a hero, not a person with high moral standards, but just a person with low taste. He was defeated by the magic contained in Merlin's language and just came up with reasons to convince himself.
If you are not selfish, not vain, not timid, not weak, and not clever, then are you still yourself?
He is definitely not the real son of Heracles and Hebe. He is just a time traveler. He is neither great nor noble. All his achievements are just the result of the times.
"It's impossible for people to jump out of rocks. Everyone must have roots. You think you are a time traveler, that's all. Is your memory reliable?"
Merlin smiled slightly, "King Arthur did not let you experience the life of Duke William. In that life, you did not think that you were Duke William."
"Then who am I?" William asked.
"William." Merlin replied, "The William of the other world line, there are never two Williams, there is only one William."
