Merlin saw Kai walking away with deep disappointment on his face. He originally thought that Kai, who had always been nice and talkative, would be a discerning person, but the reality gave him a slap in the face. Not only did Kay not acknowledge Lancelot, he also beat him severely.
But Lancelot didn't resent Kai. He knew that Kai already knew the truth. In this case, Kai just drove him away, which was the best result. Merlin helped Lancelot up and encouraged him: "Don't be discouraged, Lancelot. We still have a chance. I can ask other people. Yes, there must be someone who can help you."
After finishing speaking, before Lancelot could speak, Merlin suddenly remembered something and shouted: "Morgana! Princess Morgana! She can definitely do it. She is the most upright and kind-hearted person in Camelot. She must I will be willing to help you. More importantly, Princess Morgana is Sir Kay’s fiancée, and she will definitely be able to convince Sir Kay. Although I don’t know why Sir Kay rejected you, Princess Morgana will definitely be able to convince him!”
After saying that, he turned around to find Gwen. Merlin couldn't go directly to Princess Morgana to talk about this matter, but Wenger could. Wenger was as optimistic about Lancelot as he was. At the same time, Merlin also knew that there seemed to be a small situation between Wenger and Lancelot. In this case, Gwen would definitely be willing to help Lancelot.
"Wait, Merlin!" Lancelot grabbed the excited Merlin and said in a difficult tone: "No... no, Merlin."
"Why?" Merlin thought that Lancelot had been hit, so he was about to give up, and he was also about to persuade Lancelot again. But Lancelot's words immediately made Merlin feel like he had fallen into an ice cave.
"Sir Kay seems to have discovered the truth... He knows that I am not a noble..." Lancelot also felt uncomfortable.
From the beginning, Lancelot didn't want to become a knight in this way. He didn't like lying. It was Merlin who convinced him. Of course, he was not blaming Merlin. After all, he had agreed to Merlin's actions in the first place. He just felt that he deserved this result. He was the one who used deception first, so if others just beat him up, it wouldn't be too much.
…
Kai didn't pay attention to the thoughts between Lancelot and Merlin. He thought it was good to let the matter go as it was. He didn't have much prejudice against Lancelot, and he didn't despise him because Lancelot was not a noble.
The reason why he hates Lancelot is more because he and Merlin are using Arthur!
Whatever their reasons, what they just did was taking advantage! Especially Merlin, he let Kai see a very bad beginning. He made a fake noble identity certificate for Lancelot without telling Arthur, and led Lancelot to Arthur without any trace of it. He deceived Arthur without hesitation.
This behavior seemed worse to Kai than them joining forces to deceive him.
Who is Arthur? He is the heir to the king! Merlin, a servant, and Lancelot, a commoner, actually deceived the monarch they were loyal to for their own benefit. This kind of behavior is unacceptable no matter how many reasons there are!
Is there any essential difference between this behavior and those of corrupt officials?
Some people say that Merlin has no selfish motives. He just admires Lancelot and wants to repay him for saving his life. His starting point is good.
This explanation is pure bullshit!
The starting point is good, and mistakes can be forgiven? What is the logic? Today Merlin can deceive Arthur in order to repay Lancelot's kindness. After that, can Merlin be forgiven for deceiving Arthur for some other reason?
More importantly, what is Merlin as Arthur? A tool to accomplish a purpose?
If Merlin hadn't been an important figure in assisting Arthur in the legend, Kai could have driven Merlin away at that time! After this incident, Kai decided to keep a close eye on Merlin in the future. He was still too young to fulfill his responsibility of assisting Arthur. He was just a child.
Kai just put this matter behind him. After all, after the obvious warning, Lancelot should be able to understand that he had been extra merciful. At the same time, Merlin should also have been warned. He felt that this matter would end here. good.
After the day's training, Kai found an excuse and went to the deepest part of the dungeon below the palace. There is a deep passage there, leading directly to the cave deep underground. That is where King Uther imprisoned the last dragon in the world.
Twenty years ago, King Uther made up his mind to eliminate everything related to magic, including dragons. Except for the giant dragon in the cave, which was used as a warning. Used to tell all wizards and mages who are hostile to Camelot and tell them how powerful Camelot is.
Like all myths and legends, dragons are the most powerful magical creatures. Their bodies are as hard as iron. They can use spells and breathe dragon breath. They are regarded as the embodiment of power. Many nobles like to use dragon elements in their emblems. For example, Arthur's emblem is a red dragon.
From here we can also see how powerful Camelot is.
After passing through a dark and damp passage, Kai finally arrived at the Dragon Cave. This is a large underground space, about two to three hundred meters above the ground. The dragon is locked here. It is bound by a magic chain. Unless someone helps it open the chain, it will be trapped forever. Here, until death comes.
The dragon was originally resting on a protruding stone platform above the cave. Kai's footsteps woke it up. With a sound of flapping wings, the dragon dropped from the sky with his shackles and landed on a raised boulder. .
The dragon was very surprised when he saw the person coming.
"Kai! You actually returned to Camelot!"
Kai was not surprised. He calmly placed the torch in his hand in the slot on the wall of the passage, then turned around and greeted the dragon.
"Yes, long time no see, Kangola. I have warned you a long time ago and asked you to stay away. Why are you still caught?" Kai looked at this old acquaintance and said with emotion.
The giant dragon Kangora folded its wings, lay down on the boulder, and stretched its huge head towards Kai.
"No matter who you are, there are always things that you care about. And I care about my kind. I can't just watch them being slaughtered by King Uther. So I decided to join the war. But it seems that your advice is right. , but the result is better than I expected. At least I am still alive. As long as I live, one day, I will avenge my people!" Kangola's attitude towards Kai was not good.
However, they are indeed not friends. Kai knew this dragon ten years ago. Not long after Kai ran away from home, he encountered it in the forest on the border of Camelot. In Camelot, when a knight met a dragon, it would inevitably be A battle.
Although Kai was still a fledgling at the time, his combat effectiveness was already very strong. The dragon, on the other hand, was seriously injured due to the conspiracy with King Uther ten years ago. When he met Kai, he was not easy to deal with. If the two sides competed, they would be evenly matched at best.
Kai couldn't kill Kangola, and Kangola couldn't kill Kai. The two had been entangled for almost two months, fighting dozens of times, and neither side could do anything to the other. On the contrary, it was this back and forth that created some feelings. It would be a bit exaggerated to say that we felt like old friends at first sight, but there was indeed a sense of mutual sympathy.
