Tribute to the Demon King

"That's why I'm hated by men. This kind of frizzy personality is really..."

Merlin muttered, picked up the cane that was resting on his shoulder, and tapped the end of the cane on the ground.

Like water droplets falling on the surface of the water, soft ripples sounded.

At that moment, the bright colors like waves completely changed the style of the stone wall.

The barren land turned into a sea of ​​flowers in full bloom.

The four rough stone walls around him became black iron walls without any gaps.The structure became stronger, and it became a spire that would not be destroyed even if the world ended.

"That's about it. If it's a punishment, it can't be done without this level."

Merlin shrugged and said honestly, "Although I don't know what I did wrong, but since I will be hated so much, then I must have done something wrong... By the way, boy, are you still leaving?"

Did not hear the expected answer.Merlin scratched his head terribly, put the familiar that had sneaked in from his arms on the ground, and after making a bench in front of him, he waved at Darius and smiled.

"If you don't want to leave, come and listen to the story about the king."

"Okay."

Darius showed a smile similar to his, and sat in his seat.

Today is still an update (lay down)

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

It is a story about the Sword of the Chosen King, about the Holy Lance Lungomeniad, about people's ignorance and growth, hatred and pity.

"...As a result, no one agrees with the King of Knights from the bottom of their hearts."

Merlin looked at the window with Darius and said softly.

"Because of the power of the holy sword, the king's appearance has not changed since he drew the sword at the age of fifteen. Although there are many knights who feel disgusted and frightened, more than half of the knights praise the lord's immortality as a mystery."

"On the one hand, they are mocking in their hearts, how long will a mere child be able to serve as the king... On the other hand, the knights are also preparing for the struggle for power after the king's downfall all the time."

Merlin told the story of the past, and Darius's eyes also reflected the picture in his memory.

King Arthur is not the chosen king recognized by everyone.

Only if she can bring victory... a false king who will be recognized when the world is going well.

Even if someone finds out the king's true identity, they will keep their mouths shut while the king is still outstanding.

But once people found that King Arthur's ideal could not save thousands of people, they put all the responsibilities on her.

After she defeated the king of Bei, she barely restrained the actions of the alien race.

However, Britain's future remains bleak, and people's lives are not improving.

That's right - even defeating those who caused the Dark Ages didn't brighten the future.

This incident aroused malice in people's hearts: "Isn't King Arthur the king of glory? Isn't the country rich if you obey him?"

"Of course there will be people who are happy when the war is over, but there are also people who are dissatisfied."

With the determination to die to expel the alien race, he lost expensive armor, horses, weapons, his own healthy body and brothers and sisters, but he couldn't even exchange for the luxurious life he enjoyed as a hero——

As a result, selfish desires arose among the knights, and those who criticized the king also appeared.

Humans love what is right, but they hate what is too much right.As long as King Arthur remains "the embodiment of the ideal," they will depend on, and at the same time alienate, King Arthur.

"If you are a king, you have to bear all that...or you can trample on all that. As long as you are a king, you will definitely not be understood by the people. People never realize, or don't want to realize, their brains The 'king's wish' described in "The King's Wish" is not the same thing as the king's actual wish."

Dominators and the Dominated.Human beings are creatures where only one side can be happy.

The more he thinks about the lives of the people, the more unhappy the king will be as a mortal; in the same way, the happier the king is as a human being, the more miserable the people will be.

"Is there no solution to this?"

Darius couldn't help but ask.

"Yes," Merlin said with a smile, "there is only one way. That is to unite the king and the people in spirit and will. But that is impossible, because human beings are always selfish, which makes them It is impossible to devote all energy to the same thing in a uniform way forever. Even a king with extraordinary leadership can only forcefully unite the people of this generation while he is alive. As a result, this Things will always be subverted by new results, and sooner or later the correctness of the king will be wiped out by the next king for his own convenience."

Merlin spoke the cruel truth in a calm tone.

Darius was silent for a long time, and then said again: "But... I think that kind of king exists."

Merlin was really surprised this time.

He stared at the conscious body named Darius, and was silent for a long time, even to the extent that Darius felt uneasy, before he suddenly smiled: "Oh, really. Then you have to remember this sentence what."

"I will."

Darius nodded.

"Then keep watching, the final scene is coming soon."

Merlin said in a low voice.The boy nodded in agreement.

Afterwards, he continued to look at the boundless sea of ​​flowers outside the window with Merlin.

Although there is only a false sky and an endless sea of ​​flowers outside.But as long as it is the same era, no matter where Merlin is, he can see the whole world.And every time Merlin gets a second of new vision and experience, Darius will immediately get this part of the experience.

Watching King Arthur return from Rome, watching Sir Mordred lead the seven clans and princes from all over the world to rebel suddenly, watching Kai and Gawain die one after another, watching blood flow into rivers and corpses piled up in the wilderness.
