Lords of Camelot

Chapter 5 No choice

"Okay, get up quickly. Today's training is about to start." Merlin smiled and pulled Davian's quilt and tried to fly it aside. How can a young man be lazy? Get up and exercise.

"I don't want it!" Davian really didn't want to get up at this time. He didn't sleep for long last night. Even though he felt good physically, he was mentally exhausted. He and Artoris fought for three hours. Ah, for the past three hours, he had been beaten violently by Artoris. If he really wanted to say it, he felt pain all over his body in the end! The kind that hurts so much that I don't even want to move.

"Okay, let me take a look. It's actually nothing, right?" Merlin used more strength to try to lift the quilt, and Davian also used more strength to protect his amulet.

The wrestling between the two sides ended in Merlin's victory. When Davian got out of bed, he felt that his legs were shaking. After being beaten for so long last night, I still feel like I have tried my best to be able to stand today.

"Okay, okay, stand up straight. If it's this low, you won't be able to bear it. What happens next may make you cry." Merlin looked at Davian who picked up the Dark Sword and continued to teach him other things. fencing. As a great magician who has served many generations of kings, he has seen and learned too many sword skills. We can only hope that Davian can absorb all of this in the future.

During the day it was just swordsmanship training, and for lunch and dinner it was wyvern meat, bread, ale, and a certain amount of vegetables. Davian swallowed all the food together with the day's sword practice. He didn't waste any of this food. Rather, he was actually grateful that Merlin could provide him with such meals every meal.

After all, this was the fifth century, an era when most people did not have enough to eat. Just by listening to Merlin's narration, Davian could guess what kind of life many people in this era lived. In short, in such an era where it was difficult to survive, even though Merlin had some intentions for him, he did not just throw him out to fend for himself, and even provided him with food, clothing, housing and transportation. These alone are worthy of Davian's gratitude to Merlin.

At night, after falling asleep, it was the same as before. Artoris in the dream fought with him again. Although it was only a day apart, today, Davian blocked Artoris for ten rounds. You must know that in the three hours yesterday, he did not stop Artoris for more than ten rounds in a single fight. Today's first battle is already a big improvement for him.

"You've worked really hard. Maybe if this keeps up, you'll be evenly matched with me in less than half a year." Artoris smiled as he picked up the Dark Sword on the ground and returned it to Davian's hand. This person is really talented in this area. Yesterday he only blocked three rounds, but today he can block ten rounds. If this continues, it won't be difficult to surpass himself.

He couldn't help but think that seven years had passed since he picked up the sword when he was five years old. It was not easy to practice swordsmanship to this point, but in the end, the person in front of me, I expected that he would be able to be on par with me in less than half a year? Are the differences between people so big? This made him doubt his own abilities.

Merlin on the side saw what he was thinking, patted his shoulder, and said with relief: "You two have different responsibilities. One day in the future, he will definitely charge into battle for you and provide you with countless victories. His name will also resound throughout Great Britain, and he will become the most glorious knight under your command and your right-hand man."

What he said was natural and majestic. Davian on the side was immediately dumbfounded, right? The so-called future king? Could it be that...

However, Merlin shook his head slightly, signaling him not to say anything. Davian immediately closed his opened mouth. Is this child the future King Arthur? real or fake? Is this the king he will serve in the future according to the agreement he made with Merlin?

"Even if you have guessed his identity in your heart, please don't say it out yet. Now is not the time. Throughout Britain, King Bei's men are frantically searching for his location, even if this is your dream world. We can't take it lightly. Can I trouble you? Davian." Merlin's words made Davian understand how bad the current situation is, and thanks to his ability to hide it for so many years, the pressure on Artoris must be unimaginable.

"I understand, I will keep the secret until the day Merlin thinks the time has come." Davian nodded, placing everything on the day when the secret will be revealed in the future.

"Ah, by the way, what I haven't told you yet is the day of the King's Selection." Merlin began to tell Davian the prophecy he had made, and Davian couldn't help but nodded after hearing it. This is like the divine right of kings in the history books. Europeans like to play this game. Later, the conflict between monarchical power and divine power took off, which was probably their fine tradition.

"So before that day comes, you just have to polish yourself well. There are still four years until the day of king selection. I will teach you everything about knights in three years, and in the remaining year, You can travel all over Britain. Go and see what this Britain is like, and whether you are really willing to fight for it. I'm looking forward to your story, it must be a pretty good one."

"Wait a minute!" Davian quickly stretched out his hand to interrupt him, "Merlin, aren't you afraid that I will learn everything about you and go work under someone else? Or that I will just run away and go somewhere else, France. , or something else. What's more, I even found a way to go back directly, and went back to my own time regardless of this broken agreement. I personally am not very clear about my own resistance. Maybe beauty, wealth, etc. Are you asking me to run away? You may not know that there are many people like this in my history. They get beauty and wealth, but betrayal comes easily. We have only known each other for two days."

After listening to Davian's words, Merlin burst out laughing, "Actually, I'm curious, is there really any wealth that can impress you in this era? Even if it's gold and silver, people give it value after all, and this value can be exchanged for To what? Eat and drink? I'm sorry, there's nothing left in this barren land. As for other places, sailing in this era will make you despair. Of course, if you are loyal to others...wait for you to see this After Britain, you will know. You will choose him, just like I chose you. If he is beautiful... forget it, you will understand in the future. "

Even if it was just in the heat of the moment, Merlin saw him falling and rushed to rescue him. At that moment, Merlin decided to train this boy holding the sword into an excellent knight and hand it over to Artoris. This was his gift to Artoris, and it was the most appropriate gift. In the future, the Knights of the Round Table will have such a dark knight.
