Just as Kay begins to interrogate the assassin, our Arthur becomes restless again.
Arthur has been imprisoned in the dungeon for almost half a month. As the war progressed during this half month, whether Arthur was imprisoned or not, the significance of this matter became less and less. The battle has reached this point, and Arthur's handling has become a trivial matter.
This incident has gone from the initial murder of Arthur to a national war between the two countries! Could it be that if King Uther keeps Arthur locked up, King Odin can feel better and stop?
In this case, King Uther was too lazy to show off. His own son loved him, and King Uther believed that Arthur had been taught a lesson. In addition, the nobles had begun to plead for Arthur, so King Uther simply let him go. However, when he was released, his activities were limited to Camelot City. I felt sorry for my son, but King Uther was also afraid that his unlucky son would cause him trouble again.
It's a pity that Arthur is the kind of person who follows the rules?
No, didn't King Uther not allow him to go to the front line? There won't be any problem with him hunting in the forest, right? So he took Merlin, whose injury was almost healed, and ran into the forest to hunt.
King Uther originally didn't intend to let Arthur fool around, but after seeing Arthur being imprisoned in the dungeon for half a month, he knew that he must be exhausted, and there was nothing wrong with relaxing a little. He was so busy that he really didn't have time to care about him, so he simply sent a few mature and steady knights to follow him, just to keep him out of trouble.
But unfortunately, Arthur seems to be born with the trait of causing trouble, and he really caused trouble while hunting.
I don’t know what happened, but Arthur woke up a monster while hunting.
The monster woke up from the mist, and as soon as it saw Arthur and his group, it began to attack them crazily. This monster is a huge monster with a snake head, a leopard's belly, a lion's hips, and a pair of claws similar to those of a deer or a hare. When it runs fast, the roar of more than forty hounds will emit from its belly.
Although it is huge, it is not clumsy, but is extremely fast.
Arthur and his group of more than a dozen people were all skilled warriors, but in the end only six of them returned to Camelot alive. This was the reason why the monster did not continue to chase after killing enough people, otherwise Arthur himself was not sure whether he could come back alive.
This news is definitely adding insult to injury for Camelot. As the war progressed, Camelot was already stretched thin. Now there are monsters causing trouble and killing people. It is definitely a bad year.
When King Uther heard the news, he looked older.
"Based on your description, it is most likely a water-seeking beast!" For such an important event, King Uther naturally needed to brainstorm ideas, so even though it was night, King Uther summoned his court officials and Gaius to discuss the matter. After listening to Arthur's narration, Gaius immediately thought of the origin of the monster.
"But that's just a legend." Arthur said a little surprised. The legend of the water-seeking beast is not uncommon in Celtic countries and is spread in many places. Legend has it that the water-seeking beast is a monster that lives in swamps. It is very strong and huge, and runs very fast. It likes to live in water. It can cause floods or spread plagues, and those injured by it will have no cure and will surely die.
"According to the records in the Elder Scrolls, something ominous must have happened when the water-seeking beast appeared." Gaius ignored Arthur. He had always been dissatisfied with Arthur's previous actions. If it weren't for his impulsiveness, Kamei Lott's situation would not get so bad, so he just told everything he said he knew.
It's a pity that the "something ominous happened" mentioned by Gaius has stimulated King Uther. There are only two things he cares about most now. One is the war in front of him, and the second is Kai's safety. No matter where these two things are, Even if something unfortunate happened, he couldn't accept it, so he subconsciously rejected Gaius's statement.
"Gaius! That's just superstition."
This is also King Uther's current state of mind. Believe it or not, if Gaius said that the monster was auspicious, he would have dared to send someone to sacrifice the monster. He couldn't bear to hear bad words now.
Arthur also disagreed with this statement. He had seen the monster before. In his opinion, the monster was just a little scary and did not have any special abilities. It was not as evil as Gaius said.
"Whatever it is, there's a lot of panic now and people are afraid it's coming into town."
"Then we have to kill it!" King Uther said decisively. Now that the situation has reached this point, he must make the strongest response, otherwise it will really cause social unrest, and the unlucky ones will be the soldiers on the front line.
"Arthur, summon the guards! Set off at dawn."
Arthur naturally had no objection. On the contrary, he was about to fall ill and he wanted to do something to make up for the trouble he had caused. So he immediately followed the order and retreated. Everyone else in the room also retreated at King Uther's signal, leaving only Gaius.
Gaius waited until everyone had gone out before he said: "Please, Your Majesty. Don't underestimate it, this monster is a bad omen! I have seen it before! On the night when Queen Igraine died!" "
This sentence immediately touched King Uther's heart. He said angrily: "I told you not to mention what happened that night again! I have conquered ancient magic, and its warnings have no effect on me!"
After a while, King Uther waited for his mood to calm down a little before he said: "Arthur will kill the monster, and we will not be harmed by it again."
After saying that, he ignored Gaius and turned around.
On the other side, Kai's interrogation of the killer also came to fruition.
Kai was shocked when he got the report, oh! He actually caught a big fish, the King of Killers, Mai Rui. This leader is scary to death. What is even more chilling is that this assassination was ordered by King Odin!
But when Kai got this confession, not only was he not panicked, but he was pleasantly surprised!
I'm so sleepy, someone gives me a pillow!
Now there is hope of quelling the war!
Why?
Because King Odin broke the rules, the unwritten rules among the entire Celtic kingdoms strictly prohibited assassination of the other royal family! Although this is an unspoken rule, its effectiveness is very strong. No kingdom can tolerate such underhanded tactics. Of course, anything that is not underhanded is nonsense. The key is if everyone does this, can the royal families of various countries still be able to do it? Played happily. So all countries are very taboo about this.
Now that King Odin is the first to come up with this despicable trick, it gives Kai a reason. He can use this to directly negotiate terms with King Odin, either to withdraw his troops and maintain peace, or to simply do it and everyone will hurt each other. !
Isn't it just to hire a killer? Who is afraid of whom? Are you, King Odin, richer than Camelot? If you pay me to assassinate me, I will pay double to kill you. Then don’t say I’m ungrateful. It’s you who didn’t follow the rules in the first place!
Thinking of this, Kai immediately stood up and took the order!
"Calling all knights! Let's go to King Odin and ask for an explanation!"
