Sage's Queen's Cultivation Diary

The capital of Britain.

There is a magnificent palace in the north of the royal capital. The palace is covered with thick snow and has a dreamlike taste.There is a knight in this fantasy palace. He is wearing tattered knight armor, but sits on the throne. His tall and stalwart body somehow looks a little rickety.

The knight pulled out the same worn-out long sword from his waist, and before he started swinging the sword, he coughed violently, his eyes were already dazed, as if he would fall down in the next second, so he used the long sword to prop himself up With a "staring" sound, there was the sound of iron objects colliding with stones, and then there was a cracking sound from the long sword. It was very clear, but it was not pleasant to hear.

"Haha... are you going to die too, old friend." With a bold smile, King Uther slowly squatted down and picked up the pieces of the iron sword one by one, "I really miss you, that At that time, I relied on you to walk almost half of the western continent, and it was not broken after so many battles, even Mei Lin had to praise my vision."

The sword is just an ordinary sword, a piece of treated iron bought from an ordinary blacksmith without any rare features, it can be used for so long only because of the superb sword skills of its owner, of course Uther knows this, but this It does not prevent him from keeping this sword as a treasure until today.

"You turned out the old things again." Uther was still carefully looking for the fragments that were still on the ground, when a figure suddenly appeared in front of him, dignified and beautiful, "Always make the ground so It’s messy, and the people who clean it up will have a hard time.”

"So I picked them all up." Hearing the voice, Uther raised his head and smiled, "Don't worry, even I can't stand the endless nagging of those old women, it's even worse than you Trouble, sure enough, women are creatures who love to talk non-stop when they get older."

"..." The corners of Mei Lin's eyes obviously twitched. After taking a deep breath, he finally resisted the urge to hit the guy in front of him with half a foot in the coffin.

"Your mouth is always so annoying."

Saying so, she bent down to help Uther up, but in the eyes of the latter who clearly said "it doesn't matter", she stretched her hand back.

"Hey!" Standing up with difficulty while supporting the split long sword, Uther's face was already covered with exhaustion.

"It's so strange, it was fine a few months ago, but suddenly the body turned into such a dying state, it's really unacceptable all of a sudden." Turning his head, User stared at It symbolizes the position of supreme power.

"Is this the fate of Britain?" He smiled wryly and shook his head. "I'm still here in this heavy snowfall. Now I feel a little guilty about the future of the Celtics."

"There's Arthur, isn't there?" Mei Lin stepped forward, "Besides you, there is another king who will give everything he has to protect this country."

"How long can it be protected? Ten years? Twenty years? Or longer? But what's the use? Britain will eventually perish, and the glory of the Celts will disappear from this world. It is nothing more than committing this crime that led to the demise of the country."

Mei Lin couldn't refute it, she could see the future from the very beginning, the future of the destruction of Britain that King Uther said, how to convince others when she couldn't convince herself.

"Sometimes I wonder what's the point of us making these things up." Seeing that Mei Lin didn't speak, Uther continued to talk to himself, "To deceive the people, the ministers, and the knights to hold such an early The purpose of the ceremony of knowing the ending is just to let this country exist for a few more years, but it costs a girl's life for this, even I sometimes feel that it is not worth it."

"This is also Arthur's own wish."

"I know, but I still feel sorry for her." Rarely, the king showed a guilty expression on his face, "bringing her into this world irresponsibly and then abandoning her, not only that, but also destroying the power of a country. The burden is all on her body, if I look at it from the knight's point of view, I wish I could strangle myself."

"But you are the king." Mei Lin frowned, "Everything you do is for this country, so no matter how big a mistake you make, no one will hate you."

"That's right, just because I am a king, and because I am a king, I hope that my country can survive for even one more day, no matter what price I will pay for it, even if I sacrifice my own daughter, it doesn't matter, this is a king, selfish and arrogant guy."

Uther's expression is a little self-deprecating now, which is an emotion that has never appeared on his face for decades. Seeing such a strange British king, Meilin can't help but feel a little worried.

"Okay, Uther, you are tired, go to rest early, there is a lot of work waiting for you tomorrow." She stepped forward and stroked his dull golden hair, like an old lion, he His blond hair was still dazzling, but it no longer had the power of his youth.

"No, I'm not that old yet."

Waving to Mei Lin, User walked towards the gate of the palace step by step. Mei Lin wanted to say something, but in the end it only turned into a faint sigh.

"Uther, this is our destiny, an unchangeable destiny."

"Then in the fate you saw, when should I die?"

"Two months from now, when the trees under the steps of the palace grow their first green leaves, your life will die with it."

"Ah~ Really."

Having reached the gate of the palace, Uther put his hand on the iron gate. Because the iron gate was too heavy, he was the only one in Britain who could push it open with his own strength. For a long time, the gate The sound that filled the palace as it was pushed away was almost a symbol of King Uther, the lion, waking up.

"Haha! You are still so energetic. Among all the old friends, you are the same as before." Touching the heavy iron gate, King Uther laughed, as if he was happy and emotional about something.

"In that case, how can I admit defeat!"

The old lion put away his smile, followed by the coldness in his eyes, took a deep breath, and began to exert force slowly towards his hands.

"Hey, Uther..."

"It doesn't matter, as long as I live in this world for a day, then this door can only be opened by me!" Speaking of brave words, Uther continued to send power towards his hand, and soon, his His face was covered with sweat, and a lot of bloodshot eyes appeared in his eyes. At the same time, there was a "booming" sound from the iron gate.

"Haha! That's right, that's it!" Seeing the reaction of the iron door, Uther grinned, the door had opened a small crack, and the light hit his face from the crack.

"Open it for me!"

Roaring, Uther's tattered armor was split open, revealing solid muscles. When the armor was broken, the gap in the door was gradually widened. Finally, with a loud bang, the entire palace Filled with light.

"Haha...haha..."

Panting violently, Uther held on to the iron door to prevent himself from falling down. He was still able to push the door open by himself, but that was all. The snowflakes fell on his blond hair, dyeing it black The white with crystal color also outlines his figure even more crooked.

"Still as stupid as before." Walking in front of Usher, Mei Lin patted the snowflakes that fell on his head, "Like a fool, knowing the consequences and still bragging."

"Haha! There's nothing wrong with that." After breathing steadily, Uther showed his trademark bold smile again, "It's painful to live so depressed all the time, or do you think I should lie in a hospital bed more Curse this damn fate?"

He took a step forward, so he came to the stairs in front of the palace. The stairs were very long and spread to the very center of the city. There were several statues carved with the kings of Britain throughout the ages. The kings were surrounded by a circle of dead Surrounded by trees, it will become the most beautiful scenic spot in the entire Wangcheng when spring comes.

But this year 1 is a bit different. The awakening of these dead trees has another layer of deeper meaning, which represents the passing of a king.

"Does that mean I'm going to die in two months?"

According to previous years' experience, the big tree next to the statue will start to grow new shoots in February, which means that Uther and Meilin are very clear about what it means.

"So should I find some people to cut down all these trees now?"

With a laugh, User swept his gaze further away. This is a beautiful city with clean streets and layers of houses. Because of the too cold weather, people all hid in their houses. Even the guarding knights were all driven back by Uther, which made it a little deserted.

But this is only temporary. As the king of this country, as the master who grew up here, Uther naturally knows how lively the royal city used to be, to the point where it sometimes makes him feel irritable, but now he is Miss that irritability so much.

"Melin, how far are Arthur and that young man named Cavel from here?"

"It's not far away, and it will take about a month to reach Hector's territory."

Suddenly hearing a name that he hadn't heard for a long time, Uther froze for a moment, then sighed with emotion: "Really, Actor, speaking of which, I really owe him a lot in my life."

Mei Lin shook her head: "He is your knight, and he is also the most upright knight. It is an honor for him to dedicate everything to the lord."

"It's just your thoughts. The moment I sent Lily to him, I saw with my own eyes that he wanted to kill me."

"That's why I said that he is the most upright knight, and to be honest, I wanted to kill you too."

"...Hahaha! It seems that my original choice was really hated by others." Usher laughed awkwardly, and looked at the distant place again, which was his old friend and Arthur's The territory owned by adoptive father Ector.

"Has he still not asked me for help?"

"No, and I heard that he has killed all the horses for the people's food reserves. It's hard to say whether it's worth it, but at least his people won't starve to death."

Hearing Mei Lin's words, the smile on Uther's face froze. He knew how important a horse was to a knight. It was like a friend who fought together on the battlefield, allowing Ector to make such a decision. , it can be seen how bad the situation in his current territory is, but even so, he still didn't ask himself for any food.

"That old guy..."

He naturally knew the reason. As a king, the mistakes he made had become a hurdle that Hector, an upright knight, would never be able to overcome, making the relationship between the two of them change from being good friends to a pure relationship between the lord and his subjects. relation.

"That's his own choice." Looking at Uther's expression, Mei Lin knew what he was thinking, and that was one of the few regrets in her life.

"That's right, it's his own choice." Uther nodded with a wry smile. Hector was too stubborn and arrogant. His chivalry made him a knight loved by the people, but he couldn't tolerate the king's mistakes.

"By the way, Meilin." Suddenly remembered something, Uther turned to look at Meilin, "Do you want to make a bet with me?"

"What bet?"

"Bet two months later, can we see the book sprouting under the stairs together, if yes, then I will apologize to Hector, if not..."

He smiled: "I'm going to die."
