Kai's words could be heard throughout the training ground, but everyone's reaction after hearing it was very different.
King Uther would only feel relieved when he heard this. He has many daily affairs and it is impossible to take care of Arthur all the time, so many of Arthur's situations are reported by his subordinates. In addition, Arthur has completed some challenges and tasks well before, so King Uther I actually have no concrete idea of what my son's strength is. It was impossible for him to compete with his son. How could he have the time?
But today, Kai tore away some of the lies that shrouded Arthur, allowing King Uther to see Arthur's true strength. Like Kai, King Uther would rather be cruel to Arthur than let him die because of insufficient strength. King Uther knew very well that this era was unsafe, especially for them, Camelot.
King Uther is not a gentle dad, he is a standard wolf dad. As long as he treats Arthur well, he won't care about Arthur's feelings at all. If it were left to modern times, he would probably be so criticized by various education experts or people from the Child Protection Association that he would be unable to take care of himself. But the problem is that this is an unknown number of years BC, and there is no such thing as this.
Arthur's sister, Princess Morgana, the adopted daughter of King Uther, and her maids were worried about Arthur.
As for the others... what should I say? Most people didn't feel anything, they just felt happy to see these knight masters and princes being beaten. A typical melon-eating mentality. It has nothing to do with them anyway, so of course they won't think about it that much.
At this time, Kai also walked to Arthur, but seeing Arthur's current state, Kai had a dark look on his face. He asked Arthur to do the horse walking, in a sense, intending to punish him. But looking at his current appearance, it doesn't look like he is being punished.
I saw him with a curtain on his head, a small drink in his mouth, fruits on the side, and a handsome boy wiping his sweat and massaging him... It was almost like a vacation.
Seeing Arthur like this, Kai's face turned dark...
At this time, Arthur was having 'friendly negotiations' with Merlin about the matter that Merlin had despised him before, and both sides used sharp words to hurt each other. For a moment, he didn't even notice Kai's arrival.
It wasn't until they felt the silence around them that Arthur and Merlin felt something was wrong.
"Our Prince Arthur is very comfortable. Do you want me to bring you another bed?" Kai's gnashing voice seemed to come from hell, making the two good friends stiff and their minds go blank.
"I...I...I..." Arthur wanted to explain the current situation, but unfortunately he couldn't lie and didn't know how to cover up everything in front of him. In fact, these things were not done by Arthur for enjoyment. , he was completely displeased with Merlin's misfortune, so he deliberately made Merlin run around so that he would not be idle. But now it seems that he shot himself in the foot.
…
About ten minutes later, Arthur was carried to the center of the training ground by Kai, and the fruits and drinks disappeared. All Arthur got was five buckets of water. One bucket was placed on his head, two buckets were hung on his arms, and the other two buckets were placed on his thighs. At the same time, there were two more sharpened iron drills on the ground under his thighs. Arthur If the body drops slightly, it will be stabbed and howl.
Kai, on the other hand, requisitioned Arthur's curtains, wine, fruits and servants with peace of mind. By the way, Kai also asked Merlin to bring a deck chair. Kai lay comfortably under the shadow of the curtain, happily drinking wine, eating fruit, and chatting with Arthur's servant Merlin.
"I met you yesterday, but I didn't have time to ask your name at the time. My child, you can introduce yourself now." Kai indeed didn't know Merlin. After all, he had just come back, and Merlin was just a servant beside Arthur. Of course Kai wouldn't go out of his way to ask about him. But when Kai saw the conversation between Arthur and Merlin just now, he knew that there was a true friendship between this child and Arthur.
Since he is his brother's friend, of course Kai should care about him.
Merlin was very excited, after all, Kai had now become Merlin's new idol.
"Sir Kay, my name is Merlin! Son of Hunith. Now I am Arthur... uh, His Highness Arthur's attendant. Uh... I... I, Sir Kay, you were really too... Mrs.... too powerful just now, I have never seen such a powerful knight, you look like you stepped out of a legend."
Merlin was a little nervous. Although Kai's attitude was approachable, Merlin was still a little nervous. Merlin didn't know where this nervousness came from. Merlin wouldn't feel this kind of inner nervousness when he saw King Uther, but when facing Kai, he instinctively felt the pressure.
What Merlin didn't know was that Kai, who was opposite him, was not at peace either. Merlin... this name would have been familiar even to Kai in his previous life. After all, he was a famous mage. Although Kai didn't know what Merlin's great achievements were at that time, he still knew that King Arthur was with the help of Master Merlin. Became a great knight king.
When Kai was traveling, he also looked for traces of Merlin, but he didn't expect that no one in the entire Celtic kingdom knew who Merlin was. At that time, Kai thought that Merlin was hiding in some nook and cranny. At first, Kai's impression of Merlin was that of an old man with a white beard like Gandalf, a kind of fairy who looked like an immortal at first glance. Living in seclusion was too normal.
But Kai never expected that the Merlin of this world was actually...not only not an old man with a white beard, but a handsome and handsome young man, and he was just a commoner, and he even ran to Arthur but the attendant...
"Merlin? Well, a good name. I once heard someone say that someone with this name will become a great mage." Kai decided to give it a try, because the name Merlin is not very special, although Kai so far I have never met anyone named Merlin, but what if?
You know, Kai is still very willing to talk to Merlin 'Gandalf', because the legendary Merlin Archmage is omniscient and omniscient. Maybe he knows a way to get him home?
But reality crushed Kai's white-robed wizard's dream to pieces.
When Merlin heard the words "great mage", he suddenly became excited and his pupils shrank. The fans who were originally so excited to see the star disappeared without a trace. He hesitated nervously. "Ahaha...haha, mages and so on...Camelot has banned magic for many years...how could I...haha, you really know how to joke..."
Okay, stop running away, this guy is Merlin.
Kai said silently in his heart. After all, this guy's reaction was too strong. Kaidu only said that a man named Merlin could become a great mage, but the child in front of him actually used it on himself without hesitation... He didn't bring it upon himself. .
More importantly, Kai sensed the magic fluctuation at the moment Merlin lost his mind. Oh, I forgot to mention, Kai is also a mage, and a pretty good one at that. His forty-point spirit is not in vain. However, Kai is different from other Celtic wizards. Their paths are completely different. All of Kai's spells come from the outside world.
So it was easy to feel the magic fluctuations on Merlin's body.
What's interesting is that the magic fluctuations on Merlin's body are very strange and seem to be perfectly hidden. Otherwise Kai should have been able to tell the fact that he was a wizard the first time he saw him.
