[Comprehensive] Enkidu

Chapter 14 Puppets

Mordred would go to the forest every day and silently wait for Enkidu to appear.

Camelot is the city of the end that is guarded by mystery. With his current ability, he can't appear there. Not only will he be discovered by the magician Merlin, who his mother said is unpredictable, but the city is also inherently repulsive to him.

Mordred is also not interested in Camelot. He likes the free environment, even if he is curious about those people wearing armor walking around the city gate. He is born with a strong desire for blood and war, but now he is just a child who is still conceptually a baby, even if he is attracted by these things, he cares more about animals in nature and wants to conquer the woods The big horned deer in the depths serve as mounts.

It's a pity that he is a creature that cannot be created. He is naturally disgusted by most well-meaning species. Birds passing by, schools of fish hanging around, young deer drinking water, whenever he approaches them, all he gets is fear.

Enkidu was also the first to show him explicit kindness.

Before Enkidu appeared, Mordred had already run all over the forest outside Camelot. Although his mother let him get close to that person, he strongly forbade him to enter Camelo. Mordred usually obeyed his mother very much. Therefore, when he was lying, he was extremely disturbed. He didn't know what kind of emotion it was. After all, if he grows at a normal speed, he is now just a baby relying on his mother's breastfeeding.

Mordred told Morgan that the dagger was ineffective against Enkidu. In fact, he didn't use it. Morgan had a certain vague idea of ​​Enkidu's strength, but she wanted to test Enkidu's strength. After asking Mordred to stay away from Enkidu and work hard to grow up, he never appeared again.

Mother didn't see him many times, and her attitude towards him was very complicated, sometimes gentle and sometimes stern, and she didn't communicate with him often except for a place to live and food for him. In the first month after his birth, she had a After a certain amount of thinking ability, she never approached him again, but just threw him a sword and ordered him to practice every day. Although the artificial man grew very fast, even now he holds the sword with both hands. strenuous.

After completing the homework required by his mother, Mordred put down the long sword that didn't fit at all out of breath, and buried the long sword in the grass. Then he squatted down and carefully touched the clear water of the stream with his small fleshy hands. He cleaned it up by himself, but the only thing that dissatisfied him was that his hair was too fluffy. Every time he wet his hair with a lot of water and pressed it down, it would explode like a lion cub after a while. If he wasn't afraid of his mother, he would They all want to muster up the courage to ask their mother for a bottle of potions so that they can be completely obeyed in his palm.

Enkidu does not appear in the forest every day, but every time he brings a gift, he once wanted to bring Mordred back to Camelot, because Camelot has a nursery for orphans, but Mo Dredd evaded flexibly, and later found that Mordred's clothes were often changed. After knowing that Mordred had a home, Enkidu never gave him the idea of ​​bringing Camelot back.

Enkidu would also wonder why Mordred has been alone in such a dangerous place, but existence is reasonable, and all he can do is to take care of this somewhat lonely child once in a while.

If there was anything in Enkidu's heart that he couldn't refuse, it was the kindness of children. He could not ignore the pleas of any animal's cubs, and he felt an inexplicable familiarity with Mordred.

To be honest, that hair color and eye color are very similar to Arthur in the distance, but his rebellious attitude is completely opposite to Arthur. Compared with Arthur's introvertedness, he is a bit more wild and fierce by nature.

Mordred sat on the grass next to Enkidu, obediently picked up the wild fruit Enkidu had prepared for him, and ate it. Unlike his docile behavior, he ate like an untamed animal. The ferocious and oppressive beast reminded Enkidu of his unreasonable state before he met Shamhat.

After Mordred became sensible, the only teachings he got were to take and possess. He didn't know what tenderness was, and it was difficult to understand how to treat the person he liked. He looked at Enkidu as if he owned it. It was his naivety and cruelty that made him at a loss when facing Enkidu.

Enkidu's body smelled of fresh flowers and dew, unlike the bloody smell that always lingered on his body. He lost his human breath because he was too clean. His rare and gorgeous green hair hung down his waist, which made people feel like Feeling the urge to touch, Mordred simply held a lock of his hair and combed Enkidu's long hair like a lion's. Anyway, he would never get angry.

Because Enkidu was worried that he would stay in the wild and have no chance to learn, after meeting several times, he specially asked Bedivere Knight to bring him the enlightenment scroll. He thought that the child could not speak, and he had to read and communicate with others .While Mordred played with his hair, he patiently taught him the written word.

Unfortunately, such time is running out for Mordred.

His mother asked him to change his hiding position. He heard that Camelot's mother's workshop was almost destroyed. Morgan didn't want Enkidu to notice Mordred's identity. .Moreover, Mordred is constantly growing, and his stature will change a little every few days. He is not a real human being, and there is no way to maintain his current state.

Enkidu usually doesn't stay for too long. He has been trying to find out who is behind the recent changes. Because there is no clue, he has destroyed several secret magic workshops with evil magic remnants. The princess Morgan suddenly threw a tantrum and smashed the whole house. Enkidu knew that the prince, whom he had never met before, had treasonous intentions, but he listened to the master's thoughts, and even if he found these things, he would leave the master to judge.

Mordred is extremely clingy today.

As long as Enkidu had the idea of ​​leaving, he would hold Enkidu's hand and stare at Enkidu pitifully-he knew nothing about this, which reminded Enkidu that the master was like a blue sky. His eyes, those similar eyes showed a color that Arthur had never had before.

He stayed with Mordred until dusk before escorting him away. In the past, he liked to bounce when he walked, with a bit of childish vivacity and innocence, but today he was extraordinarily heavy.

Mordred pursed his mouth into a straight line, and looked back at Enkidu standing behind him, but when he thought that he would grow up soon, he could stand side by side with this person instead of standing beside him as a child, he Happy again.

Since then, Enkidu has never seen any strange children wandering in the forest.

Maybe he went to another place with his parents. Although Enkidu regretted it, he was glad that he didn't have to play alone in the wilderness full of dangers. After all, there would be places he couldn't see.

Three months later, King Arthur returned to court, and he won again. The crowd cheered even more than last time. Because of successive victories, the people of Britain began to believe that their king was the chosen king brought by heaven to save the country. Originally, the nobles who were dissatisfied with Arthur's tyranny kept their mouths shut, and no one showed disrespect to King Arthur at this juncture.

"Look, I brought you a present."

Surrounded by encouraging cheers, the king quietly leaned towards his friend who was welcoming him, and handed him the item wrapped in silk. Enkidu opened it and found it was a small puppet.

There was only a puppet with long hair, a round face, and misty eyes. Enkidu looked carefully at the facial features that were completely different from him, and then barely confirmed the object of the puppet carving.

"......Is it me?"

"This is the most popular handicraft in neighboring countries. It has the function of praying for blessings. I learned from the people who made them for a day before I could barely carve your image."

He would not tell Enkidu that this is the best of all finished products. Arthur, who is familiar with any weapon, can't control a sharp knife. After making Enkidu N, he finally despaired. .....

Originally, he was debating whether to give it to Enkidu, but he didn't expect that his body would subconsciously make this action when he saw his friend.

"I love so much."

Enkidu nodded seriously. No matter how the work was, this thought was very precious to him. He put the mournful doll into his clothes, ignoring Arthur's complicated expression.

...especially after the other Knights of the Round Table gifted gems, precious weapons.

"Wang, you really don't understand people's hearts."

Tristan's complaints were accompanied by his hearty laughter, whispering in Arthur's ears. He is a very lovable knight without speaking, provided that he keeps his mouth shut.

What he gave to Enkidu were flowers that would never wither under magic. After asking the magician Merlin, he didn’t spend too much energy, but the little girl liked it. For example, when passing through his uncle’s country, he gave it to his first love uncle. When she was the queen... ahem, her reaction was also pleasantly surprised.

"I think Cui Qing's mouth needs a break."

When King Arthur said this with a smile, Tristan spread his hands helplessly and made a gesture of sealing his mouth.

All the Knights of the Round Table laughed happily.

The pleasant atmosphere lasted until they separated to rest. Gawain was unwilling to go back, so only Arthur and Enkidu went back to the castle to rest. Even though the royal city was big and cold, it still made Arthur feel familiar and relaxed.

"By the way, you mentioned the kid who looks like me in your letter. Is he in Camelot now?"

Even when they went out to fight, the contact between the two of them has not been broken. At first, Enkidu reported to Arthur the situation in the city and Morgan's magic workshop that he destroyed. Later, his focus slowly shifted to the child, often Mentioning his recent situation to Arthur made Arthur a little curious about him.

Enkidu shook his head, a bit of sadness appeared on his usually indifferent face.

"Later he left, because he didn't know how to talk to you, so he didn't mention it."

Neither of them expected Mordred to be Arthur's son. One heard the description in the letter but did not actually see Mordred's true face. It is a god-made weapon except).

What's more, except for the similar appearance, Mordred's personality and behavior are completely opposite to Arthur's. Mordred is rough and acts unrestrainedly according to his nature, while Arthur is respectful and restrained, strictly controlling himself to the point of being harsh. Two people from different worlds.

"I also thought that if he was really homeless, I would train him to be an excellent knight, but I left suddenly."

Arthur also regretted that he wanted to meet the child who seemed to be a stray in Enkidu's description, not only because he was curious about his appearance, but also because he was ashamed that there were still such children in the country.

"It would be great if he was really taken away by his parents. His personality has a lot of flaws, and he needs the care and care of his parents to change. I just don't know what his parents think." But what if he really cares about him? I can't bear to let him wander around outside alone.

Enkidu thought that he should be taken away forcefully that night.

The author has something to say: Mordred's first love get?.

Enki likes children very much, so he has no defense against Mordred. If he becomes an adult, he will not be so kind to Mordred.

I feel like writing the last paragraph is like writing about Mom and Dad, hahaha...

Even if he likes children very much, other children will stand aside after Cubs come out. After all, the first cub that Enkidu came into contact with was Cubs that he deeply approved of and even did not intend to assist him. This is why he likes Cubs. Incentives for children.
