King Uther didn't care about anything now, he just kept asking Kai to give Arthur medicine. Of course Kai would not be stingy with a bottle of medicine for his brother. If he was really short of it, he could go to Olympus to get it. Although that place is a bit far and dangerous, there are two people like Hera and Athena. It's not too difficult to deal with it internally. The most important thing is not to let Zeus find out that this old boy has been holding a grudge because Kai gave him a hat.
Although Arthur had a high fever and was in a coma, his basic instincts were still there and he was able to drink medicine. After taking a bottle of potion, the effect was immediate. Arthur's twitching immediately stopped, and his body temperature also dropped. Although he still had a slight fever, it was not dangerous at all.
Seeing that Arthur was getting better, King Uther immediately asked in a repeated voice: "Are you okay? Are you okay? Are you okay?"
Kai shook his head: "It can't be that fast. It will take at least half a month for the medicine to take full effect before recovery can be achieved."
"As long as it can be cured, as long as it can be cured..." Before King Uther could finish his words, his body suddenly fell down. Fortunately, Kai's quick eyes and hands quickly caught him and prevented him from falling.
Gaius immediately rushed to King Uther and gave him a check.
"It's okay. I'm just tired. There have been too many things recently. In addition, I was very sad in the past two days, and now I suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. I can't hold on anymore. I will prescribe some requiem potion for His Majesty, and then take a good rest for a few days. God should be fine."
"That's good, that's good." Kai breathed a sigh of relief. Arthur's matter hasn't been resolved here yet. If King Uther falls again, it will really be chaos.
"Morgana, you go take care of Uther. I have asked you to take charge of the overall situation in the palace in the past few days. I still have a lot of things to deal with on the front line. I must rush back immediately." Kai called a few knights and asked them to help them. Looking at King Uther, he then called Morgana to his side and explained.
"I...I'm afraid that I can't do it well...you can actually stay." Morgana has never seen such a battle. After all, she is just the adopted daughter of King Uther. Although she has a good reputation, she is not convincing enough in terms of ability. But Kai is different. He has a high prestige in Camelot, and everyone knows that he is very capable. In addition, defeating Sendrid so quickly was the time when his reputation was at its highest. At this time, it was definitely the best choice for him to come out and take charge of the overall situation.
"The frontline needs me more. Now that Cendred has just failed, if I get bad news about Arthur and Uther, I will inevitably have other thoughts. I can only guard the border to prevent them from coming back again. Besides, things are also complicated. It’s not that difficult. You also learned a lot while Uther was handling the affairs. Besides, it’s only a few days. Once Uther gets better, you’ll be fine. You don’t have to be afraid.”
In fact, nothing should happen to the Cendrid Kingdom. After all, they were defeated by themselves without any dispute in front of everyone. Unless they lost all face, they would not break their promise. These days, what is more important between countries than face?
Kai naturally had his own motives for wanting to leave at this time. So I can only ask Morgana.
…
After finally letting Morgana take King Uther away, only Merlin and Gaius were left in the room.
Gaius waited for everyone to leave before carefully asking: "Kai, is your medicine really effective?"
Gaius could tell that Kai had some reservations just now, otherwise he wouldn't be so eager to let Morgana take King Uther away, and even chased the others out together.
Kai rubbed his face hard with both hands to wake himself up a little. He had been driving for more than thirty hours in a row, and he was already very tired from being worried and scared along the way. He could only use this method to calm himself down. cheer.
"If only it were that easy..." Kai said sullenly.
Merlin immediately said in surprise: "Did you lie to them? The medicine just now didn't work?"
Kai shook his head.
"It has an effect, but it's just not as good as I thought. I didn't expect this water-seeking beast to be so powerful. The golden apple's medicinal effect can't be used at all..."
Golden apples can keep the Olympian gods eternally young, which is definitely a good thing. When Kai gave the core of the golden apple to the Asgardians, the Asgardians were very knowledgeable and almost didn't even kneel down in front of Kai.
(In Nordic mythology, there are also legends similar to golden apples. The goddess of youth in Nordic mythology is responsible for the golden apples that keep the gods young.)
But such an awesome thing can't deal with the wounds caused by the water-seeking beast. You can imagine how difficult this kind of monster is to deal with.
In the past, Kai always felt that compared to ancient Egypt, Asgard, Olympus, Sumer and other civilizations, the ancient Celtic civilization was just a younger brother, and it was different from the previous civilizations in every aspect. For comparison, it is a rural place. Unexpectedly, he still underestimated this small place. For example, this water-seeking beast, this kind of monster is still a top-level monster even if it is placed in several other civilized areas. At least it is more poisonous than the poisonous dragon that guards the golden apple.
"But doesn't Arthur look better? How come it doesn't work?"
Merlin said in disbelief.
"Sigh... This is just an illusion. Arthur is now completely relying on the vitality provided by the golden apple. When the vitality brought by the golden apple disappears, what will happen to Arthur? What will happen to Arthur?"
Arthur's current condition cannot be considered improved at all. At best, it can only be regarded as forcibly extending his life. When the injury worsens, he will still have to burp.
"Okay, let's not talk about this." Since the golden apples are useless, the other things Kai prepared should naturally have no effect, so Kai can only think of other ways. Fortunately, he knew someone would know how to solve this problem.
"Merlin!"
"Yes, Sir." Merlin was a little dazed at first, but when Kai called his name, he immediately came back to his senses.
"Arthur has been like this for two or three days. Have you ever asked the dragon to find a solution?" At this time, Kai was too lazy to avoid suspicion.
Sure enough, Gaius immediately focused on Merlin. He never liked Merlin coming into contact with the dragon.
Merlin felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by Gaius, but when faced with Kai's question, he had to answer: "I...I did look for him."
Just when Gaius was about to say something, Merlin also shrank back, waiting for Gaius' reprimand. But before Gaius could speak, Kai stopped Gaius.
"It's time now. Stop saying those useless words. Merlin, tell me the answer directly. Time is running out now. It's important to save Arthur!" Kai was not interested in listening to Gaius lecture his apprentice. In his opinion, what? It can't compare to the safety of his own brother, isn't it just contact with magic, etc., as long as he doesn't use it in front of King Uther, I believe King Uther will turn a blind eye.
Merlin glanced at Gaius carefully, and Gaius had no choice but to glare at Merlin angrily, and then turned away. Apparently acquiesced.
"The dragon said that the water-seeking beast was born from ancient magic, so it is also controlled by ancient magic. If you want to save Arthur, you must also use ancient magic."
Hearing this, Gaius, who had just stated that he would not get involved, couldn't help but speak again.
"But ancient magic disappeared hundreds of years ago."
"No! The dragon said there are still people who can use it!" Merlin immediately retorted. "He asked me to go to a place called Blessed Island, where you can still feel the power of ancient magic. The antidote to save Arthur can be found there."
