Zongman: The Legend of the Demon Fox

Chapter 112 King Uther

"Merlin hold on, I'll give you some of my special ointment."

Yue Jiu took out a pack of black mud-like things from somewhere, and carefully wiped the wound on Merlin's arm.

Galtoria knelt aside, her head lowered so low that she was about to be buried in the ground.

"Teacher, I was wrong." Galtoria bowed his head and sincerely apologized.

"You..." Merlin wanted to say something, but after fighting for a long time before, he calmed down, shook his head, and still planned to let the other party go, "I won't make the list."

Said Merlin took out a small gift box from his arms: "This is your birthday present, take it away."

Throwing the gift to Galtoria, a lavender magic circle appeared under Merlin's feet, and he disappeared in front of Galtoria along with the magic circle.

"It looks like this guy is still sulking, be careful."

Yue Jiu shook her head and took out another gift of her own, and handed it to Galtoria.

"That armor was for you when you were 16. Don't rush to wear it now. It's too heavy for you."

Yue Jiu introduced the superior performance of this armor to Galtoria Pendragon with a smile.

In King Uther's palace, the old King Uther sat in the pavilion in his garden and waited for the arrival of his old friends.

"Merlin, you are late. According to the rules, you should wait for me next time." King Uther drank black tea, with a kind look on his majestic face, and joked to Merlin.

"Then should I tell you about the work injury your little brat gave me? Look at the wound, it was bitten by your dear Galtoria Pendragon."

Merlin pointed angrily at his blood-stained arm, apparently planning to trouble the parents of the brat.

"What wound? Where did you get the blood stained on your arm." King Uther looked at Merlin's intact arm and couldn't figure out what he was talking about for a while.

"Don't pretend to be blind to me, look at the teeth marks your child has bitten out..."

Merlin pointed to his arm and looked down, but suddenly found that the wound was gone. The scene was very embarrassing for a while.

"It seems that the black ointment is very effective..." Merlin shook his head. He originally planned to trouble the parents, but now there is no evidence.

"Okay Merlin, stop talking about this. I know I don't have long to live, and I need an heir, but I have no other heirs besides Galtoria, but she is illegitimate or a daughter, her Identity is not glamorous, I need your help, my dear Merlin."

King Uther personally brought Merlin a cup of tea. There are only the two of them here, and it is very suitable for talking about some secret things.

"I will make arrangements for these. I also think that Arthur or Galtoria are the best candidates to become the king, but you should also know that if she wants to ascend the throne, there will be a lot of internal conflicts to be resolved. There can be no external interference..." Merlin drank his own tea and tapped his fingers on the table, with a troubled look on his face.

"I will solve the external affairs. You have to help me shut up those nobles. If they don't speak, I believe that with Arthur's ability, there shouldn't be too much trouble." King Uther nodded in satisfaction, and then sent a A sealed letter with sealant was handed over to him, "My dear Merlin, can I give this letter to my dear Galtoria after my death? I hope she can forgive my irresponsible father, All I can leave her is this country and my good name."

"You're not going to see her?"

Merlin looked at his old friend with a complicated expression. He didn't want his apprentice who had never seen his father to get the news of his father's death in the end.

"To tell you the truth, in fact, I often go to find her secretly recently, but she doesn't know that I am her father..."

King Uther wiped the water from the corners of his eyes, a rare smile appeared on his tense face.

"She is very similar to you when you were young, even the movements when eating are the same, but she eats more than you, and she is a little more naughty than when you were young."

Merlin also smiled, his cloudy old eyes flashed with complex expressions, and he lowered his head to recall the past.

The two old people laughed for a long time, no one knew why they laughed, even they themselves did not know why they could laugh for so long...

"Hey, old Uther, if I use magic to keep your soul beside Galtoria forever to protect her, would you be willing?" Merlin put away his smile and looked at King Uther seriously.

"Can you really do such a thing?"

King Uther stopped smiling, and once again showed a serious expression on his face, staring seriously at Merlin's eyes as if he wanted to see something from it.

"My teacher is here. She also likes Kartoria very much. I can ask the teacher to help me out."

"Really? Then please, I didn't expect that after I died, there would be a chance to make up for what I owed her..."

King Uther's face was indifferent, as if playing with magic such as the soul of the dead was not a taboo for him.

"I'm really surprised that you would accept my proposal. I usually don't pay much attention to this kind of magic that plays with the soul."

Merlin packed the tea set and looked at King Uther with a look of surprise on his face.

"I'm just about to die, so I'm more open to it. Anyway, after I die, the whole country will belong to her, and my soul will be collected by the underworld after all. It's better to leave it to my little Caltoria."

King Uther smiled and helped Merlin put away the tea set.

"Why does His Royal Highness suddenly want to do these jobs? You usually ask others to do them."

"I want to spend my last days doing things I haven't done before, and I've even started cleaning my own room recently."

"It's really not like you."

"But I can learn a lot in the process of cleaning, which also makes me feel that I am living a more fulfilling life in the last days of my life."

"Your decision is correct, His Royal Highness..."

————

"Why not?"

The young Galtoria unwrapped exquisitely packaged gift boxes one after another, and the room was full of miscellaneous gifts, but she showed a troubled look: "Obviously I already have armor, even a knight spear Why didn’t anyone give me a sword? I’ve had enough trained wooden swords, and that thing isn’t sharp at all, and it doesn’t have the romance of a knight.”

"You will get a sword you want, but now is not the time." Yue Jiu patted Galtoria on the shoulder, encouraging her not to be discouraged, "When you are 16, you will definitely get a sword that Li likes. The sword, it is definitely the best in the whole country, the blade of the sword is shining with a charming brilliance, and it is so sharp that it can cut off any enemy's blade."

"But I want it now."

Galtoria Pendragon sat beside her with puffed cheeks and sulked, caressing the beautiful silver-white armor she couldn't wear sullenly.

"You will get that sword, but I hope that at that time you will also be able to bear the responsibility that sword represents..."

Yue Jiu stared into the distance for a long time, then left quietly.
