No one knows King Arthur better than I do

boom!

The sound of wood breaking exploded with the splash of sawdust.

Merlin watched in amazement as the coffin lid was shattered with one hand on the spot, and then the knight in silver armor jumped out of the coffin.

This! ? ?

——Fraud! ?

wrong…

——This is a trap!

Merlin knew he had been tricked, but there was nothing he could do right now.

It's actually easy to deal with the other knights.

After all, it was one thing that these knights had no experience in dealing with magicians, and another was that they were not strong enough—there was also a problem with the weapons in their hands.

Their weapons are holy swords, or blessed weapons. Although such weapons have their own effects, they are not too special in terms of magic - but Karl's victory sword is completely different.

That is a divine weapon.

Immune to most magic spells.

So after Carl came out, the Sword of Victory flew out and turned into a ray of light. In an instant, all the surrounding magic circles were crossed out, and even the people of the Border Knights were rescued. In the end, he pointed the tip of the sword at Merlin's neck and stopped in mid-air.

"So Merlin... I don't need to say more about the next thing - your behavior will definitely make you guilty of assassinating the royal family."

At this moment, the three knights, Arturia and Morgan also came over.

None of them felt that there was a problem with Carl's statement.

But Merlin felt that he might still struggle a bit.

"What are you talking about, I'm not Merlin!?"

Seeing that he still didn't admit it, and Morgan couldn't undo Merlin's illusion, he frowned angrily, but Karl smiled.

At this moment, he walked up to Merlin's side, patted Merlin's shoulder which he didn't dare to move, and smiled more and more happily.

"It doesn't matter if you're not. From today onwards, you are Merlin—and then you lead a team to attack the British royal family, which is equivalent to Merlin leading a team to attack the British royal family. Assassinated by Merlin—you can figure out how to do it yourself.”

It was shameless for Merlin to refuse to admit it.

But he didn't expect Karl to be more shameless than him.

In short, he was determined to be assassinated by a magician today because of Merlin, even if he refused to admit it.

— after all he was caught.

So after Merlin understood these things, he helplessly lifted the illusion and sighed.

"alright, you win."

☆

Carmelo, the city of Camelot, has not been back for a long time.

Walking on the main road of this city, the feeling is still the same as before, but this time the route to take is not to follow the main road into the back street, but to walk directly along the main road into the interior of Camelot in the royal palace.

Thinking about it this way, I was still a little excited.

— Actually Karl still wants to go back to his tavern.

When he left Camelot before, he thought about going back to sleep in his own bed.

I want to dig out the wine buried in the ground and drink it, and then order a hot pot.

But when I left, I didn't expect to leave for such a long time in one breath.

Fortunately, he took everything that should be taken away.

Otherwise, even if those things are not lost, if I continue to plant the crops in the backyard, I will probably die if I don't take care of them for such a long time.

——However, the tables and chairs were moved away at the beginning, and if you go back later, you have to put the tables and chairs back.

Thinking of this, Carl walked at the forefront of the team, and quite casually said something that made Merlin's scalp tingle with Morgan and a few knights beside him.

"After pressing Merlin back later, I'm afraid there will be no results today. Why don't you go to my tavern for dinner tonight?"

Carl said so, Morgan, Lancelot and the others all smiled and nodded.

"Okay, after all, it's been a long time since I went to sit in your tavern."

"I haven't been back for a long time."

Carl suddenly laughed when he said that.

"And I don't know how long I can stay this time - my adoptive parents downed a jug of wine when they first adopted me, and the wine was buried in the ground. I'll dig it out later and let's drink it."

"I'm looking forward to it when you say that."

Carl and Morgan were talking and laughing.

The three knights said something from time to time, and Artoria basically nodded.

But Merlin, the more Karl talked about it, the more he shrunk his neck.

The bed in the store is comfortable to sleep on, and the wine buried in the ground...

——It has long since melted together with the fireball that Vortigern fired back then.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he might be really cold this time.

And actually it is.

Because Merlin has too much influence on this country, he was arrested today, locked up, and then informed the nobles, knights, and some important characters to this country to come over—— Once everything is done, it's time for Merlin to be judged.

This is the reason why I didn't move him today.

So Morgan and a few Knights of the Round Table brought Carl into the palace together, and locked Merlin under the watchful eye of a special knight. Finally, all this was done. After the matter of Merlin came to an end, Carl also proposed Went back to the tavern to see the idea.

By the way, he also invited the dinner party.

Morgan nodded directly.

The three knights didn't think there was any problem.

But the only thing that surprised them was Artoria.

With a little chuckle, she shook her head at Carl and the others.

"I won't go there tonight. After all, there are important things to do tomorrow, and I still have some things to do to make mental preparations-so you guys have fun tonight, and of course, don't affect tomorrow's things gone."

When I first heard that Arturia was not going, King Berlino and Lancelot would not go.

But Morgan and Cavalier Kai glanced at each other. They both knew that Artoria was still mentally preparing for a showdown with Karl, so at this moment they felt that Artoria was probably because of this incident. , plus she estimated that she still had something to say, some questions that needed to be discussed with Merlin.

So the two of them stopped King Berlino and Lancelot.

And meaningfully nodded to Artoria.

"You too, you have to be mentally prepared."

"OK, all right."

Arturia nodded, then watched Karl and the others leave, and then slowly took out the letter she had written when she was in the Land of Ten Thousand Races.

——So, that’s all.

……

28. Let King Arthur end like this

Ok?

As soon as Karl was back in his tavern he sensed that something was wrong.

If the feeling of the house can still be due to the confusion caused by him not coming back for a while, then why is the opening on the side of the door in his original memory that he accidentally made when he was a child gone?

The door healed itself?

Karl couldn't understand it at all.

However, he was just puzzled by such a small detail, and didn't take it seriously, and simply pushed the door open...

"...Morgan, the house was burglarized after I left?"

The only thing that can be found wrong at a glance is the table and chairs.

When Karl left, he took all the tables and chairs of his own house, but now it seems that all the tables and chairs in the tavern are there-could it be a thief who came to steal things, and he saw that the family was too poor, so he gave it to me? Got a set of desks and chairs?

startled.

"No, after you left, I have been watched by people here, even during the time we went to Ireland. It is impossible to be thieves."

Morgan said so, and then sent a question to Carl.

"Is something missing in the tavern?"

Carl shook his head.

"I don't know if I lost anything, but I only know that someone must have been here... because there are a lot of things in the house now..."

Ok?

Morgan didn't understand what Carl said at all, but she also followed Carl around the tavern back and forth.

If the addition of tables and chairs made Karl feel that there must be someone at home, then the situation after that was even worse.

The bed I had been thinking about was replaced by someone—and by the way, the mattress I got from the system was also taken away.

Most of the wine brewed by himself in the wine cellar was taken away by himself, but some of the remaining ale was stolen and replaced by some of the kind on the market that Karl even considered as low-quality wine.

The thief cleaned up the land in his own garden in the backyard. The crops planted here were taken away by Karl, but the wine buried here by his adoptive parents did disappear.

Carl sighed and shook his head at the messy change.

Then I started packing these things with Morgan.

"There must have been a thief at home... But this thief feels a bit weird. If it wasn't for my place being treated as a den of thieves, then I don't think ordinary thieves would have set up so much mess for me. something."

Hearing what Carl said, Morgan thought it was unlikely, but she felt that the possibility of Carl's house being regarded as a den of thieves was quite high (

Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain the other party's purpose anyway.

The two were just guessing at first.

But after finishing all the things that should be packed, Morgan realized that there was still some time before night, so Morgan took out a crystal ball and put the crystal ball on the table in front of him.

"Carl, it doesn't make sense for us to discuss it like this-I learned some magic from Scathach that can partially see certain places in the past. Although the activation conditions are a bit harsh and the effect is almost meaningless, but we now There is still time, if you are just entertaining, don't you plan to see what happened in your tavern during your absence?"

☆

When Merlin saw Artoria, it was already dark.

Lancelot and King Bolinuo have been taken to Karl's tavern by the knight Keira, and Morgan has been there since the afternoon.

Only Arturia did not go.

When Merlin saw her now, he found that Arturia's expression was vaguely relaxed and at the same time carried a sense of firm contradiction.

And she was holding the sword in the stone out of its sheath, and she was walking towards herself slowly at the moment.

The moonlight shone on her back along her back, stretching her shadow infinitely, even covering Merlin completely in her shadow.

Seeing Arturia like this, Merlin couldn't help shrinking his neck.

Although he thought it was unlikely—but Artoria didn't come to kill him, did she?

bass--

Accompanied by a flash of the sword, the Sword in the Stone was inserted directly by Artoria on the outside of Merlin's cell.

——It just happened to be where Merlin couldn't reach it even if he stretched out his hand.

And there's more than just one sword here.

There was also a letter that Arturia had written long ago and she also hung it on the sword.

After doing all this, she stood still at the door of the cell, watching Merlin who was blocked from using magic and tied up in the cell with a chain, her tone was very soft, but it was a bit different from usual.

"Merlin, I'm leaving."

Ok?
