Just as Kai and Merlin rushed back to Camelot day and night, Arthur's condition had deteriorated and was extremely serious. This time King Uther had refused to go to Arthur's room. This is not that King Uther does not love his son. On the contrary, King Uther is sadder than ever at this time. He just couldn't bear to watch Arthur fight with death while he could only watch helplessly from the side.
He couldn't convince himself to face the scene of Arthur suffering from illness calmly, so he chose to escape. He was just outside Arthur's room, but he could never muster the courage to step into Arthur's room.
King Uther supported the window and looked at the people gathered outside the palace. They all spontaneously came to the door of the palace to see off their prince. They held candles, lowered their heads, prayed silently for Arthur, and hoped for their prince. Able to walk well.
On the other side, Gaius also walked out of Arthur's room after making his last effort. Only Morgana and some servants were left in the room to do the final washing for their prince. Obviously by now, no one has any hope anymore.
Gaius felt uncomfortable when he saw his old friend standing blankly in front of the window. But out of his own responsibility, Gaius walked gently behind King Uther, bowed slightly, and asked softly: "My lord, is there anything else I can do for you?"
"The subjects are already saying goodbye to him." King Uther's voice was full of exhaustion and sadness.
Gaius opened his mouth, but in the end he could only say dryly: "He hasn't left yet, Your Majesty."
"But he can't be cured!" Now King Uther has given up hope.
"Maybe there is a miracle. Sir Kay has already taken Merlin to help Arthur find the antidote. Maybe they will get something soon."
Naturally, the reason for Kai's departure cannot be concealed. After all, he has not been seen for almost a month, and he is still at this time. The soldiers on the front line have all returned, but there is still no news from Kai. King Uther, no matter how slow he is, knows that something is wrong. So a long time ago, King Uther learned part of the truth from Gaius. He knew that Kai left to find the antidote. It was also with this hope that King Uther never despaired after Arthur's condition worsened again.
But now...King Uther has lost his courage. Kai has been gone for too long.
"I don't believe in miracles..." After King Uther said this, he was about to turn around and leave. He had to find a place for Arthur in the cemetery of his ancestors. But just as he was about to leave.
There was a commotion outside the palace door. King Uther quickly walked to the edge of the window and looked out. The people outside the palace door holding candles to see Arthur off separated like a tide. Kai rode a war horse and galloped on the road where the people separated, heading straight to the palace. door.
Seeing his adopted son, King Uther, who was already in despair, became hopeful again. He has no choice but to hope that Yu Kai can bring him a miracle.
Kai rushed into the palace in a dusty manner. Along the way, he went straight to Arthur's room without stopping. The battle in front of the palace had frightened him, and now he could only pray that Arthur would be okay.
When he rushed into Arthur's room, he was startled by the scene inside. Morgana and all the servants were in tears as they made final arrangements for Arthur. They cleaned Arthur's body and gave him the most gorgeous clothing and perfumed body. (Spreading spices is not to roast Arthur, but there is this custom in ancient times. I remember it was in Egypt and it seems that it was also in Europe. It was used for antisepsis.)
This is the rhythm of burial!
If Kai hadn't been able to see the rise and fall of Arthur's chest, he would have sat down on the ground.
"Kay!" Seeing Kai's appearance, Morgana immediately shouted in surprise. Just now, Morgana was in the same mood as King Uther. They were both desperate, and Kai's appearance gave them their last hope.
Kai didn't have time to talk to Morgana. He just walked to Arthur's bedside and roughly pushed away the servants who were making final preparations for Arthur. He pinched Arthur's cheeks, opened Arthur's mouth, then took out a silver kettle filled with holy water from his arms, and poured the holy water into Arthur's mouth.
At the beginning, Arthur was not able to swallow the holy water, but as the holy water poured in, Arthur's swallowing instinct became stronger and stronger, and he began to swallow the holy water in big mouthfuls.
As the holy water was finished, Arthur's symptoms began to improve significantly, and a trace of blood appeared on his already pale and lifeless face. Although he still looked bad, he no longer looked like he might die at any time like just now.
Feeling that the toxins in Arthur's body began to weaken rapidly and his vitality steadily increased, Kai knew that Arthur was out of danger.
As Arthur turned the corner, Kai's high-strung spirit finally relaxed. Then a wave of exhaustion surged into his heart. Kai could no longer hold on and fell directly on Arthur's bed.
This scene happened to be seen by King Uther and Gaius who rushed over, and the two old men were shocked. King Uther was worried that one of his sons was about to die, and if something happened to the other son, he would not have to live.
Gaius was even more worried. He knew what Kai was going to do, and he also knew the characteristics of ancient magic. He was afraid that Kai had sacrificed his own life in exchange for Arthur's antidote.
The two old men quickly ran to Kai's side. King Uther didn't even pay attention to Arthur, but hugged Kai and asked Gaius eagerly: "Look, what happened to Kai? !”
Gaius was not slow either. He had already started to perform a full body check on Kai when King Uther hugged him.
The test results came out soon, letting Gaius breathe a sigh of relief. Although Kai had a slight cold and fever, it was nothing serious. He was just too tired and had a cold, so he couldn't hold on and fell asleep.
"It's okay, there's nothing wrong with my body, I'm just too tired. Just rest for a while." When Gaius said this, his eyes began to look around. He was looking for someone, his stupid apprentice, and he found Only Kai came back, but his stupid apprentice was nowhere to be seen.
He wanted to ask Kai why he didn't see Merlin. But in this situation, he had no chance to ask.
King Uther breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Gaius' diagnosis. Then he immediately asked Morgana to take someone to send Kai back to rest. Morgana couldn't bear it for a long time. After hearing King Uther's order, she immediately led people to send Kai back to the room.
After Kai and the others left, King Uther took Gaius to diagnose Arthur.
Only then did Gaius realize that there was another person here. Now was really not the time to worry about where Merlin was. Although Gaius was basically sure that Arthur would be fine, after all, Kai came back empty-handed after such a long journey. But what needs to be done must still be done.
After checking Arthur, Gaius said to King Uther very happily: "That's great, Your Majesty. All the toxins in Arthur's body have been removed. I believe that Arthur will be able to recover in a short time." .”
At this time, King Uther had no intention of worrying about where Kai had found the antidote. He just kept mumbling: "Great, great, great."
After King Uther relaxed, he felt weak all over his body, but this was not because he was sick, but because he was too happy and felt at a loss what to do. After a while, King Uther came to his senses. He asked Gaius to go down first to conduct a more detailed examination of Kai and prescribe medicine for Kai to treat his cold, while he stayed with Arthur.
