Facing Kai's provocation, no man could bear it, let alone King Odin, who was already full of resentment.
So the duel of one vs five started soon.
But unlike Sendrid's imagination, this seemingly huge duel ended quickly, and ended in a disastrous defeat. Less than five minutes after the five knights of Sendrid fought against Kai, three knights were killed on the spot. One knight was kicked in the head by Kai and passed out. The last knight's hand was Kai cut him off at shoulder level and was unable to fight anymore.
The duel ended with Kai's overwhelming victory.
After Kai put away his swords and quickly left the duel location, King Odin and his nobles still couldn't recover for a long time.
What do you want them to say? Five of them can't win against one, so what nonsense are they talking about! In the final analysis, this world still respects strength. If others are given a chance, five will fight one! But they don't live up to their expectations.
In short, Kai and his men roared away without even saying hello, leaving only King Odin and his nobles messy in the wind.
"Leon!" Kai quickly returned to Catlin Castle. As soon as he entered the fort, Kai called his adjutant, knight Leon, over. "During this period, you stay in Catlinburg and pay attention to what's happening on Sendrid's side. Although the chance of them going back on their word is not high, you still have to pay attention. In addition, you should also urge Sendred's compensation. We need the money now."
As Kai walked towards his room, he explained to Leon who was following behind him.
"Understood!" Although Leon didn't understand why Kai was so anxious, he still obeyed the order. It wasn't until Kai returned to his room and cleaned himself up that Leon couldn't help but ask: "Sir Kai, what happened?"
Kai simply packed his gifts and threw them to his attendants, and then asked them to go down to prepare horses and some necessary things, and they would return to Camelot immediately. After the attendant went down, Kai said to Leon with a solemn face: "Something happened to Arthur."
…
Something really happened to Arthur. Didn't King Uther order Arthur to hunt the water-seeking beast before? Arthur really took people there and quickly found the water-seeking beast. Unfortunately, he found it, but the result was not good.
Arthur was seriously injured.
One characteristic of monsters like the water-seeking beast is that anyone injured by it will definitely die. Although Arthur finally killed the water-seeking beast, Arthur was seriously injured and fell into a coma on the spot. When he was sent back to Camelot City, he was already dying.
King Uther collapsed on the spot, hugged Arthur and cried loudly. This may be the first time in so many years that King Uther has shed tears in front of others. But no one would make fun of King Uther because of this. After all, it is definitely a human tragedy for a white-haired person to send a black-haired person.
Kai also had to rush back immediately because of this news.
…
Around noon on the third day, Kai, who had been traveling day and night, finally returned to Camelot.
Kai rushed back and rushed directly to Arthur's room without greeting anyone.
Arthur was lying on the bed, unconscious with bandages on his body, and he was sweating constantly, as if he had been fished out of the water. Seeing this, Kai immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Although Arthur was unconscious, his body was still twitching slightly, which meant that he had not yet died anyway.
The people in the room finally saw Kai at this time.
King Uther, who was sitting next to Arthur's bed, was the first to react. He saw that this iron-fisted king, who was known for his toughness, had turned into a helpless old man with a haggard expression. When he saw Kai, Uther King Se was shocked at first, and then burst into tears. He stood up shakily and held out his hands to Kai.
Kai quickly stepped forward and hugged Uther tightly, repeatedly repeating: "It's okay, it's okay, Arthur will be okay, I promise!"
Perhaps it was Kai's return that gave Uther support, and the originally panicked King Uther finally calmed down a little. He held Kai's shoulders, looked at Kai seriously, and said seriously: "Why did you come back so soon? How is the war? No, you can't leave your post. You return to the front line immediately! That's where it is. We are here where you should stay, you should leave now and go back immediately!"
Of course King Uther was pleased that Kai could come back immediately, but for Camelot now, the war with Cendred is the most important thing. Now that Arthur is dying, people in the city are already panicked. If something happens on the front line again, then...
All in all, although King Uther really wants his other child to accompany him now, he must also make a choice for the future of Camelot. Emperors are like this originally, and their choices are always subject to many, many things. It is simply impossible and will not act based on personal feelings. Unless he is a foolish king, that is another matter.
Kai shook his head and said: "No need, the matter on the front line has been settled. Sendrid has decided to withdraw the troops and pay us a hundred thousand gold coins as compensation."
King Uther thought he heard it wrong at first, but then Kai repeated it again. King Uther asked in disbelief: "Is this true?"
"Do I need to lie?"
After Kai finished speaking, he ignored King Uther. He came directly to Arthur. He first touched Arthur's forehead with his hand and found that his body was incredibly hot, at least 42 degrees!
Then Kai took off Arthur's bandage and found that the injured area had turned black and was accompanied by a faint sour smell, which was very similar to the symptoms of infection. He gently pressed the wound, and a stream of slightly yellow and transparent The liquid flows out.
This is tissue fluid with purulent secretions. Judging from the color, it shows that the infection situation is better than Kai's previous expectation. This is Gaius's handiwork, otherwise the situation would not be so good.
After Kai observed the situation, he raised his head and asked Gaius: "How is the situation?"
Gaius shook his head in embarrassment: "It's not good. Although I have tried my best to treat Arthur's wound to prevent infection, the effect is not good, and the wound is still getting worse. This is not the worst, really The bad thing is that I can't do anything about the magic above. As long as the magic power is not removed, Arthur's situation will get worse day by day."
The water seeker is a product of ancient magic. Legend has it that the water seeker is a monster born from the soil by powerful magic, so it is not surprising that the wounds caused by it have magical power.
King Uther also came over at this time. Although he knew that Kai was not a pharmacist, out of his trust in Kai, he still placed his last hope on Kai.
"Kai, what can you do?"
Unexpectedly, Kai gave King Uther a reassuring smile in an unusually relaxed manner, and then said: "Although I am not very sure, there is indeed a way."
With that said, Kai took out a transparent glass bottle from his bag. In the glass bottle was a golden potion that no one had ever seen before. "This is a medicine I got in a place called Olympus. It is a liquid extracted from a special plant called the Golden Apple. Although it cannot be said to cure all diseases, it does have an effect on many wounds. very effective."
Kai didn't lie. This was indeed a potion obtained from Olympus, but the effect was ten times more powerful than Kai said. This thing not only cures all diseases, but also prolongs life. In order to get this thing, Kai fought with a poisonous dragon with a hundred heads for three days and three nights. In the end, if Hera, the Queen of Olympus, hadn't secretly helped, Kai might not have been able to get this thing. The golden apple itself was eaten by Kai, leaving only a few residues. Kai made several potions, and this was one of them, which was used to save lives.
Hearing what Kai said, King Uther immediately became excited. At this time, he had never considered whether this kind of thing had anything to do with magic. In fact, even if there is, he doesn't care. His son is like this, how can he care about this thing!
