[Comprehensive] Enkidu

"There is always an inexplicable familiar feeling..."

Merlin looked around, and the fluctuations left by the subtle spiritual transformation that made him feel had disappeared, as if it was just his illusion.Apart from his special bloodline, there seems to be no other candidate in this era for someone who can break into other people's dreams at will.

The magician's words are always full of specious uncertainty, even he himself didn't take his own words to heart, and slowly tidied up his clothes that had become untidy due to traveling through the dream, and he looked at Enkidu.

"I didn't expect your dream to be so difficult to find. It took me a lot of time to unravel those heavy magic protections."

But because of this, he learned a lot of magic from the Age of Gods, but it seemed useless for a half-baked guy like him.

In any case, it finally arrived before the end of the dream.

"It's not like my dream, but like an inherent enchantment."

Restraining the irrelevant agitation of mind, Enkidu returned to the calm and solemn image. This dream, no, this scene reminded him of the series of events that occurred when the master accepted the sword in the stone and he touched the king's sword. reaction.

Merlin watched Enkidu's gloomy expression in front of the scarred king with great interest, but he forgot that that person was also a disciple he taught and grew up with.Hearing Enkidu's words, he nodded in confirmation and shook his head slightly.

"I just created a condition for you to dream. The content of the dream has nothing to do with me. This is indeed a dream, and it is also a destined future."

Speaking of the word "future", Mo Mei, the son of nightmare, flashed a sense of satisfaction from tasting delicious food in his purple pupils.

"... the future?"

Looking at these transparent but inseparable threads, as if fate and suffering are intertwined, they are making the final judgment on Arthur, and the threads destroyed by Enkidu are being vaguely repaired again and bound to Arthur.

"Is there any way to completely destroy them?"

He seriously asked the only guy who might have a solution, but unexpectedly, the other guy burst out laughing as if hearing a good joke.

Enkidu frowned, watching the magician's performance, until Merlin's expression grew colder, revealing his true nature, without any pretense.

"Obviously they are all monsters, why are you so affectionate?"

As if touching an inconceivable thing, the magician stretched out his hand and stroked the skin on Enkidu's face. His fingertips had no temperature at all, so cold that it reminded Enkidu of the cold weapons in his best friend's treasury. The breath is also cold, although it is accompanied by the fragrance of flowers, it will not remind Enkidu of something warm.

Merlin's touch reminded Enkidu of the mother god Aluru. The two had nothing in common, but there was a subtle similarity in their eyes at this time, that is, Enkidu in their eyes was not independent, and could be called What is alive is only a weapon, or a monster.

"Even if you are exactly the same as a human being, don't forget your true colors."

Enkidu took a step back.

After getting rid of such a close relationship, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. For some reason, he and the magician really couldn't be settled in the same place. It was obvious that Merlin always had a smile on his face and seemed easy to get along with, Enki They all feel that he always makes him feel depressed.

Of course Enkidu will not forget the weapon he made for the gods, but at the same time he doesn't think that Merlin will be his kind.

"I came to this era to fulfill the master's wish, and it is my duty to change the fate of the master."

This has nothing to do with feelings, although Enkidu does not make a judgment based on a weapon or a familiar who simply obeys the command of the master, there is not much difference in essence.

"Well, since you want to know, then I'll tell you."

There was a bewildering smile on the corner of the magician's mouth again, his eyes looked straight at Enkidu, as if confirming his decision, but the words he spoke were extremely cold.

"There is no solution~"

Just like the day Arthur succeeded to the throne, even now, Merlin's thoughts will not change even a little bit.

"Miracle has a price."

A king who can bear the responsibility of the entire country, a king who created the so-called "perfect" because of the will of the people.His duty is to continue to create miracles while he is alive, even if he is not understood by the world, even if he bears the fate of being split and betrayed, isn't it enough to get those cheers and praises?

Such is the fate of a hero. There must be pain and separation hidden behind the flowers and applause, but for the audience who are enjoying the show, what is that important? It just adds to the visibility of the show. I don't feel the same way, and neither does Merlin.

If he really had such a thing as "compassion", he would not have created a combination of red dragons and humans in the first place. After all, the fate of Britain is the sad fate of thousands of regions foreseen by his eyes. Just one of the endings.

It is too embarrassing for a child of nightmare to sympathize with the ending of human beings. Humans can hunt and kill aliens at will to satisfy themselves, whether it is for appetite or other things, they will never give birth to unnecessary emotions.To Merlin, human beings are nothing but aliens with the same appearance.

"There will always be a solution."

If he sits and waits for death because of the doomed future, then the reason for his coming will disappear. Enkidu will never stand still, even if he struggles, even if he returns to the soil, he will fight for a chance for Arthur.

"Maybe that's the difference between you and me."

There was no admiration in the magician's voice, the way he looked at Enkidu was more like looking at an object that made him sad, even though this sadness was like the mist in the morning and disappeared in a flash, that was the only thing he showed. true emotions.

"Have you heard the story of the three goddesses of fate?"

"I know."

Merlin pulled on the thread extending from his disciple. Strangely, the transparent silk thread stayed intact in the palm of his hand. It didn't break or hurt Merlin's body. When he pulled the thread hard, When the thread is threaded, the silk thread remains firm without any change.

"These threads are the embodiment of fate, which are exactly the same as the threads spun by the three goddesses of fate in myths and legends. I don't think the function will change."

His eyes finally looked at the disciple in the established future. It was also the ending that he had seen countless times with the ability of clairvoyance. There was no sorrow or regret, nor joy and joy. It was plain and a little subtle and complicated.

"I can't change it, and it can't change me because I'm a 'bystander'."

The "God" of this world exists.

Even if the mystery is about to recede and the era of human dominance is approaching, the regulations made by the gods and the laws left by the gods are still going on in an orderly manner. Even if the world is destroyed, it will not dissipate, and it will slowly run through the blood of a new generation of humans.

Even though those guys who looked down on humans in the sky receded and dissipated in human history at some point, it is hard to understand whether they perish or hide in a deeper corner, some things still remain.

Like...this.

There was no need for Merlin to explain too much, Enkidu already understood the function of these silk threads.

"If I make them all disappear, can I save the Master?"

Such a stupid question successfully made the magician laugh.

This time he didn't laugh exaggeratedly, but his eyes were bent into extremely pleasant arcs, and his iridescent hair trembled with his constantly trembling shoulders, like flower petals in the sky floating on his plain skin. Clothes room.

"That's something only gods can do. Even if you are a weapon made by gods, it's impossible to make these lines disappear completely."

"It's not your body that they hurt, but your soul. Before you get to Arthur, your soul, which was born from a weapon and is not as stable as an ordinary human, will completely dissipate."

Although the soul is so beautiful, it reveals a kind of weakness that doesn't match the slender and powerful appearance. Where did it go wrong?

Even if the thickness is slowly increasing, unfortunately it is still too slow. Seeing him embrace the innocence that is contrary to weapons, I really look forward to witnessing his self-destruction one day.

"So, what will change who will pay the price?"

[No matter who pays the price, there will always be someone who makes the deal. The only thing that changes is the size of the price. 】

This is what Merlin said.

Since it is necessary to choose a person who bears the price, then choose him.

He didn't look into Merlin's wide eyes, but silently looked in Arthur's direction.

It seems to go back to that day.

Kneeling in front of the Mother Goddess Shrine, he begged the Mother Goddess who was behind closed doors to see him again.

The woman was crying and kissing his forehead, the center of his brows, and the thin closed eyelids. It was the first time he saw the tears of God. The hot liquid dripped from his cheeks, and the voice of the Goddess was hoarse and deep.

【Have you made a decision yet?My Enkidu...]

[This is not a decision, mother. 】

This is the doomed ending.

That man, he is the wedge between heaven and earth, the root of a country, and if he becomes weak, Uruk will lose its force, and if he dies, the people of Uruk will lose their faith.

Even a god would make the same decision as Enkidu, but he just accepted the ending in advance.

But at least, there is a god who will cry because of his decision and be sad because of his departure.

But what Enki didn't understand was that the moment the woman shed tears for him, she had already regarded him as a real son, not a tool that could be discarded at any time.

He will never know this fact, and still stubbornly regards himself as an instrument.

The author has something to say: Merlin in this world is pure black.

Arthur is not the girl he loves and feels guilty about. Even if this ending happens, he will not show mercy, let alone punish himself. She has been imprisoned in Avalon for thousands of years to atone for her sins. To him, Arthur is his favorite disciple, nothing more. .

As for Enki, he can see Jin Yingying because of Merlin's dream magic, which made Jin Yingying's clairvoyance possible, and Enkidu's Jin Yingying's compatibility made the two of them subtly connected to the dream. Heroic spirits can't actually dream. Yes, but it's still okay to sleep like a human.

The next paragraph is the second set.
