Chapter 56: War (Please Collect and Recommend)
When Arthur and his companions returned to Camelot, they also brought back a piece of bad news. →
The war is about to begin!
When Arthur reported the news to King Uther with a frustrated look on his face, King Uther was completely stunned. He didn't quite understand why it turned out like this. Before they set out, Kay had repeatedly told them not to cause trouble, not to cause trouble, and to come back immediately after dealing with the robbers, and not to stay too long.
Originally, King Uther thought that everything had been said so clearly, and even if Arthur was impulsive, he wouldn't cause anything out of hand.
But the result...
"What on earth did you do?!!! Arthur! Why did Sendred start a war against Camelot? Tell me, what's going on?!!!"
King Uther asked with a dark face and gritted teeth.
At this time, Arthur had completely lost his previous spiritedness, and could only dejectedly tell the details of defeating the robbers.
Didn't it say that King Sendrid sent his son Alired to Eldor to suppress the bandits? That's where the problem lies. Arthur originally planned to leave Eldor after a night's rest, but unfortunately, when they were about to leave the next morning, they happened to meet Prince Alired.
In fact, things are not bad at this point. Arthur went to Eldor in a private capacity, which was not considered crossing the line. And they also volunteered to help clean up a group of bandits. No matter how you look at it, Prince Alired would not blame Arthur and his party.
In fact, Prince Alired was not an unreasonable person. He did thank Arthur and his friends for their help, and even offered to give them money as a reward.
Everything seemed so peaceful.
Unfortunately, in the middle of their conversation, Arthur accidentally ridiculed King Sendrid.
In Arthur's view, this king was not qualified at all. His subjects were harassed by bandits, but he, as a king, chose to stand by and refuse to send troops to suppress the bandits. In addition, in order to eliminate this group of bandits, the villagers of Eldor inevitably suffered casualties, and Arthur also blamed himself for this. Just saw the people sent by King Sendred, so he couldn't help but say a few bad words.
Originally, this was nothing. If it was someone with a better temper, he might just pretend not to hear it. And Prince Alired seemed to be a good person, so Arthur didn't control his mouth.
As a result, no one expected that Prince Alired was still a filial child. Although he felt sorry for Eldor's experience, he couldn't accept the ridicule of his father by a yellow-mouthed child. So the conflict happened.
People in this era are very rude. They will never quarrel if they can fight. So the conflict quickly escalated into a duel.
I don't know whether to blame Kai for training Arthur too well, or to be thankful for Kai's training of Arthur. Arthur easily won, but the bad thing is that Arthur also took Prince Alired's life.
Out of respect for the knight's duel, the knights and soldiers who came with Prince Alired did not attack Arthur. But before they left, Prince Alired's follower knight still issued a war notice, and King Sendred would never let it go. Because the deceased Prince Alired was the eldest son of King Sendred and the most valued heir.
…
King Uther looked at the dome mural above the hall speechlessly, and suddenly had the urge to strangle his stupid son. How stupid must one be to mock someone else's father in front of his own son?
Kai had almost the same expression. He never thought that Arthur would end the bandit suppression in this way. He wanted to open Arthur's brain to see what was inside. He had repeatedly emphasized not to cause trouble, not to cause trouble...
However, Kai also knew that it was meaningless to blame Arthur now. Could he and King Uther really send Arthur to King Sendred for disposal? To put it bluntly, other people's children will never die. Whether it was King Uther or Kai, they had no idea of killing their own relatives for the sake of justice, so now there was only one way.
"Your Majesty, I will rush to the border now."
"Well, I will send an envoy to talk to Odin, if possible... In short, we must be prepared."
King Uther is of course willing to resolve this incident peacefully, whether it is paying money or admitting his mistakes, he can even accept ceding some land. But the problem is that King Uther knows very well that this matter is not that simple. Arthur, this bastard, killed the heir to the king! If King Odin of Sendred can accept a peaceful solution, that would be a ghost.
Anyway, King Uther believes that if this kind of thing happens to him, he will never accept a peaceful solution.
Kai nodded and immediately turned around and walked out. He knew very well that now there is basically only one way to go to war. When passing by Arthur, Kai had to work hard to resist the urge to kick him. He just snorted at Arthur and rushed out. Even Morgana and Kai did not comfort him.
So many people followed Arthur out, and no one persuaded him? What on earth do these people do for a living!
Morgana wanted to say something to Kai, but seeing Kai's gloomy face, she couldn't say anything.
…
Just when everyone in Camelot was in a mess because of Arthur's impulse, in an unknown cave, the witch Nivi, who had appeared before, was observing everything in Camelot with a crystal.
After seeing Kai hurriedly leading a group of knights out of the city, Nivi finally smiled.
Then Niwei's smile faded, a strong wind blew by, and she disappeared into the cave. But the next second, Niwei appeared in a forest camp.
Nivi's appearance obviously exceeded the expectations of the people in the camp, so a group of people shouted and shouted while holding weapons and surrounding Nivi.
But Niwei didn't care about these people at all. Instead, she watched their panic with interest.
After a while, a man who was obviously the leader walked out of a tent in the camp. Seeing the mess in the camp, he immediately roared: "Calm down! You pigs! Everyone return to their posts. Get up! Now!”
Following this man's order, everyone seemed to have a backbone. They immediately regained their composure and began to return to their respective places according to their respective responsibilities. Only a few soldiers did not leave. They surrounded Nivi very responsibly. No relaxation at all.
The man walked to the edge of the encirclement and patted a soldier on the shoulder. "Don't be nervous, gentlemen. She is not an enemy. Go ahead and do your own thing. I have something to discuss with this guest."
The soldiers heard the leader's order. Although they were still suspicious, they obediently put away their weapons and left, leaving only the man and Nivi standing there.
"It seems that you are doing well in your small business, Tao Lun." Niwei seemed to be very familiar with the leader of this camp, and her tone was familiar, mixed with a little sarcasm, especially the phrase "small business" "Small", the tone was emphasized, and it was obviously a bit contemptuous.
"What are you here for? Niwei, I remember you once said that you and we are not on the same side." The man named Tao Lun didn't pay attention to Niwei's sarcasm at all, but said very fearfully.
Nivi is a great master of magic with superb magical power, and is the only known inheritor of ancient magic in the world. She is very famous in the magical world, but as famous as her strength is her capriciousness and ruthlessness. In recent years, not everyone has wanted to cooperate with this powerful witch, but the results have not been very good.
Tao Lun once thought about cooperating with her. At that time, Tao Lun was desperate, so he couldn't care so much. Unfortunately, this witch didn't like Tao Lun at all.
Niwei did not comment on Tao Lun's question, but instead asked some irrelevant questions with great interest, "How have you been lately? Are you still using your so-called alchemy to deceive people? How many people have been fooled?"
Tao Lun's face turned dark immediately.
Alchemy is a relatively ancient knowledge among magic subjects. It is even said that the birth of alchemy is earlier than magic. The main goal of alchemy's earliest birth was to transform base metals into precious metals, such as gold. Later, it developed into impractical research such as elixirs of life, panaceas, and the like.
It is also because of its unrealistic purpose that today, alchemy has completely declined, because successful cases are very rare, and it is even unknown whether it has ever succeeded. Now, it's basically all a scammer's trick.
Tao Lun is a descendant of alchemy, so he looked so ugly when faced with Niwei's ridicule.
