Because of the summons from the King of England, the group decided to take a train to London overnight.
In the car, everyone was thinking about their own things, but no one was looking forward to the king's summons.
Among them, Diana was the most affected. She was in a mess now. She learned from Kai that she was not made of clay. Kai told her responsibly that Olympus could not possibly have the technology of making a living person out of clay. So the question becomes, is she the daughter of Queen Hippolyta? Who are Diana's biological parents?
She wants to return to Paradise Island and find the truth. But her strong sense of responsibility prevented her from giving up the task at hand. Every minute Ares, the god of war, existed in the world, hundreds of people would die for it. She couldn't let go of these innocent lives.
So on the train, Diana kept struggling with this matter.
Others are not at peace either. What they have experienced in the past few days has been enough for them to reshape their outlook on life. Many things they had insisted on before have been shaken. Only Kottman is calmer because he has experienced enough things in his life.
As for Kai, he started reading to recharge his batteries as soon as he got in the car. He needs to understand his time and world. Just like he did when he traveled to Camelot, he collected information, evaluated his environment, and then determined what he should do.
First of all, of course, it was the legend about King Arthur. Although he had already learned about the legend of King Arthur from Cotterman, he still needed more information, because those were just legends, and there must be many fallacies in them. He urgently wanted to know After he fell asleep, what happened to Arthur and the others.
Fortunately, there are many books about the legend of King Arthur in the UK. People in this country seem to regard the legend of King Arthur as their own national myth. But after Kai read a lot of books, he discovered to his amazement that the British were really interesting. They, a bunch of Anglo-Saxons, actually regarded Celtic mythology as their own national culture. It was really enough.
What's even more ridiculous is that many Christian elements have been added to the legend of King Arthur. There were no Jews at that time, so where could Christianity come from?
It is also these messy things that make the legend even more unclear.
But Kay finally determined something, such as Arthur's queen - Guinevere.
When he saw this name for the first time, Kai thought about it for a long time. He couldn't remember which country's princess had this name at that time. According to records in many books, this Guinevere is the princess of King Lio Dekuan.
But the problem is, Kai has never heard of King Liode Kuan... As a qualified knight of Camelot, Kai is very good at heraldry and knows the royal families of various countries well.
He swore he had never heard of this king.
Still later, Kai discovered clues from the spelling of Guinevere's words. Although the spelling and pronunciation of English are different from those of ancient Celtic, their pronunciation is very similar. After all, they are all Indo-European languages.
Guinevere - Guinevere.
If you read it continuously like this, Kai really doesn't recognize the name, but if you take it apart, Kai is very familiar with it - Gwen Neville!
The black girl Gwen’s surname is Neville!
Regarding this discovery, Kai really had mixed feelings in his heart - Arthur's unlucky child actually married a nanny!
In addition to this, what makes Kai even more crazy is that Lancelot is still having an affair with Gun Niang. This is not over yet. The reason why King Arthur will die is partly because the affair between Lancelot and Gwen caused the Knights of the Round Table to split. On the other hand, it was his half-sister Morgana who caused Mordred to rebel.
Mordred also killed King Arthur with his own hands...
Kai really found a lot of names he was familiar with.
Especially Morgana... Kai thought something was wrong at first. He never thought that Morgana would hurt Arthur. The relationship between them was obviously very good. But he read many versions of King Arthur's legend and found that Morgana played a negative role in them.
…
All in all, these made Kai feel very frustrated. Because he found that he couldn't change anything. He clearly knew that Arthur would be betrayed and even lead to the collapse of the empire that Arthur had built. He obviously tried very hard to change. He taught Arthur kung fu and helped him eliminate all threats, but in the end, he still didn't change anything...
This reminded Kai of what Saigon said to him.
Those who try to change their destiny will surely suffer fate's backlash.
Kai never believed in fate, but at this moment, he truly felt the impermanence of fate.
**********
The next morning, Kay and his party were invited by the royal family to Buckingham Palace in Westminster. Here, King George V, accompanied by the Royal Minister of Ceremonies and the Reverend Dalton, summoned them.
For Cotterman and the others, George V just conducted a simple summons and chat as a routine. The process was very brief, and basically only a few words for each person's turn. It just took a little longer to get to Courtman.
King George V was very adventurous when he was young and was even called the Sailor Prince. Before he unexpectedly ascended to the throne, he had been serving in the navy. During his time in the navy, he traveled almost half of the world, and even rebelliously got a red and blue dragon tattoo on his arm.
[The experience of George V is also very exciting. George V’s brother, Prince Albert, was originally the second in line to the throne (the first heir was their father, and his grandmother was still in power at the time). As a result, Prince Albert Six weeks after he announced his engagement, he unexpectedly died of pneumonia, so George V had no choice but to take over. By the way, he also married his unmarried sister-in-law. What's even more ridiculous is that he, his brother and his sister-in-law, It was still a love triangle, and the two brothers almost fell out over it]
So George V was very interested in Courtman, a famous adventurer.
When it was Kai's turn, he was treated differently, but this kind of treatment made Kai feel dumbfounded.
It turned out that George V was a huge fan of King Arthur, and he even placed a large round table modeled after King Arthur in his living room. He was even more enthusiastic about Kai. At first, he asked various questions to confirm Kai's true identity.
Kai was tired of being asked, so he simply used his second form.
When Kay, in the form of a golden lion, stood in front of George V, this guy immediately transformed into a licking dog, flattering Kay in all kinds of ways, constantly expressing how much he respected Arthur and Kay, and even caused him to be too rude due to his attitude. The royal etiquette minister had to ask the others out.
It doesn't matter if the king is rude, the key is not to be seen by outsiders.
Facing all kinds of praise and admiration from George V, although Kai was a little embarrassed on his face, he was still very useful in his heart. Of course, Kai did not get carried away. After all, Kai had once been a duke. Although he had only been a duke for a few days, he knew very well that a qualified ruler could not be so unreasonable.
Sure enough, after a period of adulation and admiration, the drama came.
George V constantly emphasized that King Arthur was the spiritual pillar of Britain, and his chivalry influenced generations of British people. It is precisely because of the spirit of King Arthur that they will resist the tyranny of the Germans without fear of sacrifice!
In order to prevent the world from falling into the tyranny of the Krauts, they were willing to break their bodies to prevent the Germans from bringing the world under their rule.
Bala, bala, bala...
This inexplicable statement made Kai extremely embarrassed. Damn... you Brits and Germans are fighting for world hegemony, what the hell does it have to do with Arthur?
To be honest, if Arthur was still alive, he would probably have nothing to do with you, the King of England.
Because the current Britain is not England under the rule of the Celts at all, but a country of the Germanic people (the Anglo-Saxons are a branch of the Germanic people). If you really do the math, the Scots and Welsh are descendants of the Celts.
