Rhett breathed a sigh of relief, took out the locket and the brass key, and told Emerys what Nariel had told him.Then, Reid said: "Gabriel and I have no way to take care of this little guy. It's not the right time to send him, so we can only send him to you. This kid is very smart, and he ate a lot of Gabriel Rong Guang, he will be able to transform into a human child in two days. Gabriel said, you can let this child be your apprentice, his talent is enough to be your disciple."
"Apprentice?" Merlin was stunned for a moment, and said in a daze, "But, I haven't been a teacher myself yet."
In this state, how can he be a mentor to others.
"Yes, Emerys." Reid's eyes turned golden, and Gabriel's voice sounded, "Believe in yourself. And—"
Glancing at a certain prince still hanging on the ceiling, Gabriel said slowly, "Do whatever you want, don't worry, we're on your side."
Merlin subconsciously glanced at the ceiling, facing the pair of green eyes full of anger, Merlin's eyes died suddenly, and he couldn't help moaning in his heart - he forgot, he completely forgot that he just used magic to drive Arthur to the ceiling things up.
Also, what are you staring at!
Merlin blinked quickly, and then stared back without hesitation, aggressively.
At the same time, the green eyes, Arthur's, tsk tsk, are not as good-looking as his little Salazar's.
Looking back, Merlin hung the little snake around his neck, and the snake's tail was specially wrapped around the red scarf around his neck to prevent Salazar from slipping down.Merlin solemnly said: "I will take good care of Salazar, and I will also be a good mentor, Your Highness."
Gabriel nodded in satisfaction, finally living up to his ten years of teaching.
This is the true meaning of working hard to cultivate subordinates with good abilities, and then being the shopkeeper at ease.
If you don't train people well, how can you let go.
He raised his hand and patted Merlin's shoulder. Gabriel's eyes were filled with expectation, and then he said "Let's go" and left the room in a teleport.
Only Merlin Emerys Ambrose standing on the ground, Salazar Snake Slytherin sleeping on his neck, and hanging from the ceiling glaring but unable to make a sound Arthur Pendragon.
Merlin cautiously lifted Arthur's silence spell first.
Then, the room was filled with Arthur's roar.
"How can you, how dare you—?!" Arthur was extremely angry, he only felt that the flames that had been nestled in his heart all this time were spitting out.
In this world, who else is worthy of the title of Merlin's "His Royal Highness"?
Obviously it was him!
In this world, who else can make Merlin look gentle and silly?
Obviously it should be him! !
However, he actually smiled at a guy who was obviously not a human, or an ordinary person, and even hugged him, and took over the raising of a snake, and even became an apprentice!
Arthur is going to explode!
Merlin frowned, and he lowered his head to touch the little snake coiled around his neck.
Perhaps, he should have cast a Silencing Charm, since his Salazar was sleeping.
However, before Merlin could make a move, the door of the room opened.
Then, there was the sound of things crackling and falling to the ground.
Merlin wanted to help his forehead.
At the door, Gaius, who could be regarded as Merlin's temporary boss, stared dumbfounded at everything in the room, including the new assistant Merlin, who was looking up at the sky with his hands behind his back, and His Royal Highness, who was obviously hung from the ceiling by unconventional forces. .
"This, what is going on?!"
Gaius slammed the door shut quickly, growling in a low voice.
Merlin showed a guilty smile at Gaius, and with a movement of his finger, Arthur, who was hanging from the ceiling, suddenly fell down.
"God." Gaius was taken aback by the momentum of Arthur's fall, and quickly reached out to catch it.Catching it or not, watching the Prince of Camelot break two ribs in a free fall from the ceiling.
Fortunately, Merlin didn't intend to hurt Arthur either.
At a distance of less than two meters from the ground, the momentum of Arthur's fall suddenly stagnated.After a full three-second pause, Arthur fell to the ground with a snap.
Well aware of Arthur's rough skin and fleshy physique, Gaius only glanced at Arthur and then turned his gaze to Merlin, eyes full of surprise, and murmured: "Merlin, are you a wizard?"
Merlin tilted his head, strictly speaking, he was not a wizard.
Gabriel said that he is the only prophet of this era, and there will be no one in this world who has awakened the same power as him.
However, Merlin, who had no intention of revealing his identity, nodded and said, "Yes, that's right."
Gaius' expression suddenly became serious, and he should have been more vigilant and serious.However, Gaius has a very good impression of this well-behaved and sensible child even though he has only been together for a few days.He really wanted to take him as his successor, but now...
Given Camelot's attitude towards witchcraft, Gaius had to be wary of a strange wizard appearing in the royal city, especially since he had just hung Arthur from the ceiling.
Gaius asked with a serious expression, "Then why did you come to Camelot? It's not friendly to wizards."
Merlin's eyes drifted away for a moment. He couldn't say that he came to see Arthur Pendragon and Morgana Pendragon, could he?Oh, speaking of it, he didn't even have time to look at that princess, he was only pestered by this rude prince.
Gaius sighed, and said, "Merlin, no matter what kind of determination you have in coming to Camelot, I think you should leave—" and get out of here.
King Uther was his friend and king, though he was outrageously brutal when it came to witchcraft.He couldn't watch this young wizard assassinate King Uther. Whether Uther died at his hands or the young wizard paid his life for it, it was not the result he wanted to see.
"Merlin is my - friend." Before Gaius could speak to chase him away, Arthur got up.He slapped the dust on his body nonchalantly, grabbed Gaius's words, and said, "I can vouch for him, he didn't come to Camelot to assassinate my father."
Arthur looked deeply at Merlin and asked, "Am I right, Merlin?"
Merlin gave Arthur a fixed look. Of course he was not interested in assassinating King Uther, or in other words, Merlin was not interested in taking anyone's life, even if he thought it was a heinous crime.
It was Merlin's rule not to abuse magic to take anyone's life, that was more like a bottom line, abuse of power would make people inflated.King Uther, someone will punish his cruelty in the future, but that person will not be him.
"That's right." Merlin nodded sharply.
Arthur walked over and said, "But there is something that needs to be dealt with now."
As he said that, he wanted to grab the little snake wrapped around Merlin's neck. Arthur's reason was very reasonable, "Who knows if this snake is poisonous, it will be bad if it bites. Let me deal with it." .”
Merlin slapped Arthur's paw without hesitation, "Don't touch my Salazar."
After being slapped, Arthur suddenly blew up.
"Merlin! You are defying the royal family, I will put you in prison!"
Merlin twitched the corner of his mouth, and said fearlessly, "Come on, I want to see which prison can hold me!"
Arthur suddenly remembered that the man in front of him was not the royal servant who was bullied by him, but the greatest mage of this era. Even if he was young, he couldn't be locked in a mere dungeon—of course, he couldn't would literally lock Merlin in a cold, rat-infested dungeon.
If possible, he would prefer to see Merlin in his bedroom.
cough cough.
Arthur stared, and suddenly remembered something.
"By the way, why does your magic work on me?" Arthur was puzzled. After wading through the lake of Avalon, his soul had the blessing of the Elven King on his soul. of magic.Even if she is as powerful as Morgana, her magic will have no effect on him.
Gaius also thought of this question, and looked at Merlin with the same questioning face.
Merlin looked back confidently and said, "How do I know?"
This is talking nonsense with your eyes open. The essence of the power of the prophet is different from that of the wizard. Merlin was informed of this fact by Gabriel since he was very young.
But why would he tell this royal jerk the truth.
Gaius looked left and right, and his heart could no longer be described as helpless.
"Okay, don't worry about them." A voice sounded slowly, and Gaius turned his head eagerly. It was the laborer who had just arrived in the hospital room.
Since Merlin knows magic, this person is probably not an ordinary person!
Gaius looked wary.
Kangra grinned, and his mouth reached to the base of his ears in an instant.And those eyes also suddenly turned into yellow-orange animal pupils, obviously not what humans should look like.
Gaius gasped, "Who are you guys?! What is the purpose of coming to Camelot!!"
"Tsk." Kangra shook his head and returned to his human form.He rubbed his chin and said, "I can't say what is the purpose of Little Merlin. But me." Kangra squinted at Gaius, and the brown-black eyes in the human state flashed cold killing intent. , "Didn't Uther specially invite the Dragon Rider to trap me here?"
"You——!" Gaius' eyes widened, "You——!!"
"Hush." Kangra raised a finger, "It's nothing. I won't do anything to Camelot, I made an agreement with the little mage."
"As for Uther..." Kangra sneered, "he will be punished, I have no doubt about it. But now."
Kangola looked at the two teenagers who were quarreling while talking, and a smile flashed in his black pupils.
"I only look at the future of the world."
At the same time, in a lake outside Camelot, a Seraph with silver hair and golden eyes stood in the air, with a white long-horned snail on his palm.
"Are you ready?" Gabriel asked.
What is the quickest way to recover from a loss?
For Rhett, it must be more and fresher knowledge and truth.
The legendary fairyland of Avalon, a fairyland independent of this continent, will definitely let his children find new interests.
"Ready." Although in the spiritual world, whether it is opening the Avalon passage or what, Rhett doesn't need to worry about it, Gabriel can take care of it with an angel.But he still responded to Gabriel with a face, although this kind of conversation similar to the spring outing of elementary school students seems a bit stupid.
Gabriel brought the snail to his lips, and blew lightly.
There was a long buzzing sound in the air, and the next moment, the lake under Gabriel's feet was like Moses dividing the sea, and a passage that could accommodate one person appeared at Gabriel's feet.
Some are like the passages of the underwater world. Walking inside, they can clearly see the world in the lake on both sides of the water wall, which is very beautiful.
As Gabriel walked in, the passage continued to burn behind him.
After a while, the lake returned to calm.
Three years later.
In Camelot's royal city infirmary, Merlin was reading a book.The brooms, trash buckets, rags and other items in the room are cleaning automatically and spontaneously.
The book Merlin was reading was one of Gaius's collections. It was a magic book, which contained many interesting little spells.
When he was in the Holy See, Merlin's spells were taught by His Royal Highness Gabriel.His Highness's spell goes back to the source and is very powerful.When studying with His Highness, Merlin could feel that his magic power was growing every moment.
The magic books collected by Gaius originated from the magic of ancient wizards before the great cleansing of this continent.From a professional point of view, Merlin saw that the threshold for these spells was not high, as long as there was a trace of magical power in his body, he could use them.
But the effect of the spell is interesting.
For example, [loud voice]?
Merlin grinned sullenly, the spells of the wizards are so interesting, even amplifying his own voice can produce a spell.Shouldn't this ability be innate, and can be achieved with just one thought?
After laughing, Merlin scanned the room, feeling a little lost in his heart.
He had thought that he would only stay in Camelot for a short time, even though Arthur Pendragon would be a good candidate, but he just wanted to see others.
After all, is it better to shop around?
But what he didn't expect was that the time he stayed was getting longer and longer.In the end, he managed to get out of the Holy See, and all his time was spent in Camelot.
There are only two months left in the three years agreed with the teacher.
What about traveling all over the mainland to find a real king?
And it turns out he's found a wayward, reckless, stupid royal bastard!
Merlin snorted softly.
He didn't notice the pleasure twinkle in his pretty blue eyes when he thought of Arthur.
Although Arthur is reckless, stupid and headstrong, he has to be said that in the eyes of the subjects of Camelot, he is a qualified prince.He is sympathetic to the people, brave and resolute, and never backs down from protecting his subjects.
Most importantly, he has no prejudice against magic.
He sympathized with the wizard who was persecuted by his father because of magic, and helped him several times.For this reason, he was punished countless times by King Uther, leaving large and small scars on his body, and was even almost revoked the right to inherit the throne by King Uther.
King Uther once yelled at Arthur's nose that he didn't need an heir who was obsessed with magic and always disobeyed him.
Melind said that when Arthur fought against King Uther in order to protect those wizards and alien races, he was very handsome.
He suddenly realized the charm of the King of Eternity that Kangola said.
If it were Arthur, he would definitely establish a country where ordinary people, wizards, and aliens could coexist peacefully.
Although Merlin would never say that in front of Arthur, he believed him in his heart.
Not only him, but Gaius, and Morgana.
God, Merlin didn't expect that Morgana was also a powerful witch.
It is not uncommon for the royal family to have a royal family with magic. Before the witch hunting order was promulgated, wizards always behaved so unscrupulously.
They are born with powerful strength, changeable abilities, and powerful magic power that can slow down aging, not to mention that they also have various magical potions.Few men would reject the kind of beauty that seems to be loved by time, which makes the witches' battles in the court always unfavorable.
In the long run, it is not surprising that there are wizards in the royal family.What's more, in ancient times, more than half of the human ancestors chose to marry with other races and gave birth to hybrid descendants.They are the predecessors of wizards, and no one can be sure that they are pure human beings before they awaken their power.
Not to mention the royal families of the seven kingdoms in the eastern continent mixed with the blood of ancient dragons, the royal family of Arendelle, a small seaside country in the northern continent, has a queen with powerful ice magic.However, the talent suddenly revealed at the coronation ceremony attracted the attack and annihilation of the Kingdom of Lapland.When Queen Elsa, who fled to the deep mountains, learned that her home was destroyed, it was too late.
The only luck is that her sister, Princess Anna, ran out of Arendelle's royal city alone despite the obstruction of the church and the Arendelle clan in order to find her sister.This saved Anna from dying in that massacre, but what happened in Arendelle was enough to drive the queen crazy.
She froze the Kingdom of Lapland, one of the three northern countries, and wanted to bloodbath the royal family of the Kingdom of Lapland.
But after all, Queen Elsa is not a cruel witch who can wantonly take human life. Even though she has the coldest talent, her heart is kinder than anyone else.After all, she did not kill even one member of the royal family of the Kingdom of Lapland, but she forcefully drove the king off the throne, and finally sent a nobleman who had been locked up for Arendelle's injustice to the throne of Lapland.
Queen Elsa sent the king and the nobles who planned Arendelle to the hands of the church.She knew that people in the church had sacrificed many people in order to protect Arendelle. She could not kill people, but these people also committed the crime of murdering God's people, and they should repent and atone for them in the second half of their lives.
After handing over the throne of Arendelle to Princess Anna, Elsa left Arendelle.
No one knows where the queen who once overthrew the rule of the Kingdom of Lapland has gone, but the pain she has suffered can only be healed slowly with time.
Morgana Pendragon is obviously luckier than Elsa.
Her brothers trusted her, supported her, and protected her.
Oh, by the way, there is also a very gentle and kind maid Gwennaville beside Morgana.But Arthur repulsed her, and always kept him away from Gwenaville, asking him not to be confused by her face.
Confused, why confused?
Merlin is very strange. Although Gwennaville has an eye-catching charm, with the addition of charm, her popularity is no less than that of Her Royal Highness Princess Camelot, and she is even more favored because of her status. After all, Well, the princess is not someone who can secretly think about it.
King Uther is deadly.
But Merlin didn't feel that those charms could disturb his heart.
After all, the most extreme beauty he has ever seen in the world is Her Highness Gabriel.
Of course, Merlin wasn't close to Gwenaville.On the one hand, Arthur persevered in blocking, and on the other hand, his dear disciple, the lovely Salazar, didn't like her.
Merlin also didn't want to clear her memory every time Salazar frightened Gwennaville. After all, Gwenaville didn't do anything wrong, it's just that she and Salazar's natures were a little different.
Thinking of Salazar, Merlin quickly thought about today's dinner.
Well, let's bake two eggs for Sal tonight.
Merlin glanced at the cabinet, only a faint golden light flashed in his eyes.As for Merlin, whose use of power has become increasingly mature and stable, maybe in another one or two years, he will be able to instantly cast any kind of elemental spell silently.
The cupboard opened wide, and two huge eggs, twice bigger than Salazar's Feathered Serpent egg, floated out with green moss all over their body.
This is the egg of the Soul Eater.
The soul-eating bird is a rather vicious magical creature that feeds on human souls and flesh, and often lives together with a male and a female.Often when they are ready to reproduce, they hunt humans in large numbers.Their lairs are dark red, stained with human blood.
Just about half a year ago, two soul-eating birds attacked Camelot.Arthur and Merlin teamed up to kill the two birds and found ten eggs in their nest.
Merlin packed the eggs and brought them back to Camelot.
Of course, Merlin has no plans to breed soul-eating birds.As the prophet of mankind, Merlin is different from Gabriel. He cannot stand at the highest point and remain indifferent to the struggle of mankind on the food chain. He is on the side of mankind.
Regarding the nature of the Soul Eater, Merlin has nothing to criticize.But this didn't prevent Merlin from taking action to kill them, and taking their eggs home to have dinner with his family Salazar.
The soul-eating bird's eggs contain strong magic power, and although the half-feathered snake demon is not a snake, it has some snake-like natures, such as eating bird eggs.
What could be more nutritious than a soul-eater's egg to Salazar's liking?
No one can stop a prophet who is determined to spoil the child, and Arthur can only help Merlin tie the cloth bag containing the egg to the horse and transport it back to Camelot.
Salazar obviously likes these eggs too, especially the taste.
If it weren't for the sacrifice of human life to raise the Soul Eater, Merlin would have wanted to keep two eggs to hatch the chicks, so that Salazar's ingredients could be sustainable.
As soon as he thought of his well-behaved and lovely apprentice, the door of the infirmary was knocked open with a "bang", and a small figure rushed in like a whirlwind.He deftly avoided the broom that was sweeping the ground, wiped the rags everywhere, and threw himself into Merlin's arms with a stride.
"Mei——" the deliberately elongated voice was childish, and the soft boy hugged Merlin's waist, raised his head, and smiled softly and cutely, "Sar is back."
"Welcome back." Merlin smiled, reaching out to rub the boy's hair.
The boy in Merlin's arms has a very delicate and beautiful face, black hair slightly curled up, and a pair of emerald green eyes are big and bright.He looked like he was seven or eight years old, but in fact, since he broke his shell, he was only three years old.
Wizards with the blood of magical creatures are always so privileged, and Salazar is obviously the leader among them.
Although his mother was only half blood, he still inherited quite a lot of Feathered Serpent Demon blood.Whether it is intelligence or magic, Salazar's fragile infancy is very short, which ensures that he can survive smoothly.
Salazar happily rubbed against Merlin's arms, and then he saw two bird eggs floating beside him, his big emerald green eyes lit up immediately, full of longing.
"May—is this Sal's dinner?"
"Of course." Merlin smiled and leaned over to rub Salazar's fair face, "It's all Thrall's."
Salazar smiled sweetly, and then had another meal in Merlin's arms.
Having had enough fun, Salazar remembered his purpose of running back in a hurry.
"May—" Salazar looked up, "Thal heard that the big villain is dead."
Merlin's heart tightened suddenly, the big villain is dead? !
Then, he quickly calmed down.
In Salazar's world, there are two villains, the villain refers to Arthur, and the big villain refers to King Uther!
"King Uther is dead?!"
Merlin froze.
"Yes." Salazar nodded vigorously, "I heard they said it was Salaam who did it."
The so-called listening, of course, was what Salazar secretly heard from the mind of the knight who had just rushed back to Camelot with a little spell he had just learned.
Merlin froze for a moment, although he always felt that King Uther was really an eyesore, his existence made him hesitant to choose Arthur.He could see that although King Uther was violent and his attitude towards Arthur became worse and worse, and even wanted to deprive Arthur of his right to inherit the throne, Arthur loved his father.
Now, Arthur has lost his father.
Merlin couldn't help sighing. He put Salazar on the ground, stroked his hair, and said softly, "Sal, you wait here obediently. The teacher will come back later to bake the bird eggs for you, okay?"
Salazar flattened his mouth, Merlin was going to find that villain, he knew it.
"Okay." Salazar muttered softly, "Sal is a good boy, and Sal will wait for May to come back. But, Sal wants to eat three roasted bird eggs tonight!"
"Deal." Merlin agreed straightforwardly.
His Salazar was so good at eating that he could swallow ten bird eggs if given the chance.
Merlin went to see Arthur.
Due to Arthur's attitude towards Merlin, and Merlin's treatment of more and more people under the guidance of Gaius, the palace guards are very polite to Merlin.After all, no one wants to offend a doctor, especially a doctor who is valued by the prince.
All the way through smoothly, Merlin came in front of Arthur.
Morgana was standing by Arthur's side, comforting him softly.
Merlin glanced at Morgana. The princess of Camelot didn't know that King Uther was actually her biological father. She almost knew about his life two years ago, if Merlin hadn't forcefully expelled the witch Morgoth.
If possible, Merlin hoped that this innocent witch could spend her life safely instead of being involved in revenge.
"Thank God, Merlin, you're here." Morgana was relieved when she saw Merlin. In her opinion, Merlin was Arthur's loyal friend. Coupled with Arthur's little thoughtfulness, Morgana was very happy. Create opportunities for them.
Although her younger brother is young, he is very handy in handling various affairs. She dares to say that everyone in Camelot loves him. Compared with King Uther, who used terror to suppress the people, Arthur will definitely become A wise and lenient monarch.
He is the undisputed king of the future.
But when Morgana felt helpless, her younger brother was obviously brilliant in other matters, but when it came to the matter of Merlin——
God bless you, Arthur, you, a grown man, have the nerve to argue with a young child.Also, Morgana has never seen her brother so stupid when he was able to turn a good show into a provocation, and then was hanged on the ceiling by Merlin's magic!
But no matter how stupid, it was always her brother.
She didn't feel sad for King Uther's death, maybe she used to have some admiration for King Uther, but when he became more and more violent and hurt the people she cared about again and again, the few emotions that were not there were gone. wasted away.But Arthur still cared, so she wouldn't look relieved.
Merlin...Although it was out of place, don't think she couldn't see what kind of feelings Arthur had for Merlin.Morgana couldn't bear to watch Arthur's broken halberds again and again, but at this juncture, Arthur's frustrating appearance might soften Merlin's heart.
Merlin nodded to Morgana, and he walked towards Arthur.
Morgana left the room, not forgetting to close the door for them.
Arthur, as Merlin guessed, he is not good.
Arthur's eyes were green, but unlike Salazar's emerald green like pinched shoots, his eyes were more like quiet pools of water, with blackness at the bottom.
Merlin had never seen Arthur in such a mess—his tears couldn't stop falling.
"It was my fault, Merlin." Arthur whispered in pain, "I should have gone with him, I could have protected him, I could have protected him."
King Uther set off for Amata five days ago, which is the territory of King Salam.He intended to reach some kind of agreement with King Salam, but at the scene of signing the agreement, someone assassinated King Uther.
As for Arthur, because of another conceptual conflict with King Uther the day before, he was not able to accompany him.
Although according to King Salam, it was the remnants of the wizard who murdered the King of Camelot.But this kind of false lie was not convinced by everyone, especially after he imprisoned the accompanying knights accompanying Camelot.
The knights who came back to deliver the letter escaped, and they couldn't let Camelot become passive.King Salam claimed that the day before the assassination, King Uther mentioned that Prince Arthur Pendragon could not be reused, and intended to pass the throne to his nephew Kunil Pendragon.
Kunil Pendragon was originally a crown prince, with the support of King Salam behind him, and Arthur's situation was obviously a little bit bad.
But that's nothing.
After all, Arthur has been a king for many years, and how many people can be deceived by King Salam's perverse actions?
The only thing that hurts Arthur is that his father is dead.
No matter what kind of tyrant King Uther is in the eyes of others, no matter how different his own ideas are from him, he is always his father.
Merlin was silent for a moment, he stretched out his arms to hug Arthur, and said slowly: "Don't worry, Arthur, everything will be fine, I promise."
"Apprentice?" Merlin was stunned for a moment, and said in a daze, "But, I haven't been a teacher myself yet."
In this state, how can he be a mentor to others.
"Yes, Emerys." Reid's eyes turned golden, and Gabriel's voice sounded, "Believe in yourself. And—"
Glancing at a certain prince still hanging on the ceiling, Gabriel said slowly, "Do whatever you want, don't worry, we're on your side."
Merlin subconsciously glanced at the ceiling, facing the pair of green eyes full of anger, Merlin's eyes died suddenly, and he couldn't help moaning in his heart - he forgot, he completely forgot that he just used magic to drive Arthur to the ceiling things up.
Also, what are you staring at!
Merlin blinked quickly, and then stared back without hesitation, aggressively.
At the same time, the green eyes, Arthur's, tsk tsk, are not as good-looking as his little Salazar's.
Looking back, Merlin hung the little snake around his neck, and the snake's tail was specially wrapped around the red scarf around his neck to prevent Salazar from slipping down.Merlin solemnly said: "I will take good care of Salazar, and I will also be a good mentor, Your Highness."
Gabriel nodded in satisfaction, finally living up to his ten years of teaching.
This is the true meaning of working hard to cultivate subordinates with good abilities, and then being the shopkeeper at ease.
If you don't train people well, how can you let go.
He raised his hand and patted Merlin's shoulder. Gabriel's eyes were filled with expectation, and then he said "Let's go" and left the room in a teleport.
Only Merlin Emerys Ambrose standing on the ground, Salazar Snake Slytherin sleeping on his neck, and hanging from the ceiling glaring but unable to make a sound Arthur Pendragon.
Merlin cautiously lifted Arthur's silence spell first.
Then, the room was filled with Arthur's roar.
"How can you, how dare you—?!" Arthur was extremely angry, he only felt that the flames that had been nestled in his heart all this time were spitting out.
In this world, who else is worthy of the title of Merlin's "His Royal Highness"?
Obviously it was him!
In this world, who else can make Merlin look gentle and silly?
Obviously it should be him! !
However, he actually smiled at a guy who was obviously not a human, or an ordinary person, and even hugged him, and took over the raising of a snake, and even became an apprentice!
Arthur is going to explode!
Merlin frowned, and he lowered his head to touch the little snake coiled around his neck.
Perhaps, he should have cast a Silencing Charm, since his Salazar was sleeping.
However, before Merlin could make a move, the door of the room opened.
Then, there was the sound of things crackling and falling to the ground.
Merlin wanted to help his forehead.
At the door, Gaius, who could be regarded as Merlin's temporary boss, stared dumbfounded at everything in the room, including the new assistant Merlin, who was looking up at the sky with his hands behind his back, and His Royal Highness, who was obviously hung from the ceiling by unconventional forces. .
"This, what is going on?!"
Gaius slammed the door shut quickly, growling in a low voice.
Merlin showed a guilty smile at Gaius, and with a movement of his finger, Arthur, who was hanging from the ceiling, suddenly fell down.
"God." Gaius was taken aback by the momentum of Arthur's fall, and quickly reached out to catch it.Catching it or not, watching the Prince of Camelot break two ribs in a free fall from the ceiling.
Fortunately, Merlin didn't intend to hurt Arthur either.
At a distance of less than two meters from the ground, the momentum of Arthur's fall suddenly stagnated.After a full three-second pause, Arthur fell to the ground with a snap.

Gabriel said that he is the only prophet of this era, and there will be no one in this world who has awakened the same power as him.
However, Merlin, who had no intention of revealing his identity, nodded and said, "Yes, that's right."
Gaius' expression suddenly became serious, and he should have been more vigilant and serious.However, Gaius has a very good impression of this well-behaved and sensible child even though he has only been together for a few days.He really wanted to take him as his successor, but now...
Given Camelot's attitude towards witchcraft, Gaius had to be wary of a strange wizard appearing in the royal city, especially since he had just hung Arthur from the ceiling.

Merlin slapped Arthur's paw without hesitation, "Don't touch my Salazar."
After being slapped, Arthur suddenly blew up.
"Merlin! You are defying the royal family, I will put you in prison!"
Merlin twitched the corner of his mouth, and said fearlessly, "Come on, I want to see which prison can hold me!"
Arthur suddenly remembered that the man in front of him was not the royal servant who was bullied by him, but the greatest mage of this era. Even if he was young, he couldn't be locked in a mere dungeon—of course, he couldn't would literally lock Merlin in a cold, rat-infested dungeon.
If possible, he would prefer to see Merlin in his bedroom.
cough cough.
Arthur stared, and suddenly remembered something.
"By the way, why does your magic work on me?" Arthur was puzzled. After wading through the lake of Avalon, his soul had the blessing of the Elven King on his soul. of magic.Even if she is as powerful as Morgana, her magic will have no effect on him.
Gaius also thought of this question, and looked at Merlin with the same questioning face.
Merlin looked back confidently and said, "How do I know?"
This is talking nonsense with your eyes open. The essence of the power of the prophet is different from that of the wizard. Merlin was informed of this fact by Gabriel since he was very young.
But why would he tell this royal jerk the truth.
Gaius looked left and right, and his heart could no longer be described as helpless.
"Okay, don't worry about them." A voice sounded slowly, and Gaius turned his head eagerly. It was the laborer who had just arrived in the hospital room.
Since Merlin knows magic, this person is probably not an ordinary person!
Gaius looked wary.
Kangra grinned, and his mouth reached to the base of his ears in an instant.And those eyes also suddenly turned into yellow-orange animal pupils, obviously not what humans should look like.
Gaius gasped, "Who are you guys?! What is the purpose of coming to Camelot!!"
"Tsk." Kangra shook his head and returned to his human form.He rubbed his chin and said, "I can't say what is the purpose of Little Merlin. But me." Kangra squinted at Gaius, and the brown-black eyes in the human state flashed cold killing intent. , "Didn't Uther specially invite the Dragon Rider to trap me here?"
"You——!" Gaius' eyes widened, "You——!!"
"Hush." Kangra raised a finger, "It's nothing. I won't do anything to Camelot, I made an agreement with the little mage."
"As for Uther..." Kangra sneered, "he will be punished, I have no doubt about it. But now."
Kangola looked at the two teenagers who were quarreling while talking, and a smile flashed in his black pupils.
"I only look at the future of the world."
At the same time, in a lake outside Camelot, a Seraph with silver hair and golden eyes stood in the air, with a white long-horned snail on his palm.
"Are you ready?" Gabriel asked.
What is the quickest way to recover from a loss?
For Rhett, it must be more and fresher knowledge and truth.
The legendary fairyland of Avalon, a fairyland independent of this continent, will definitely let his children find new interests.
"Ready." Although in the spiritual world, whether it is opening the Avalon passage or what, Rhett doesn't need to worry about it, Gabriel can take care of it with an angel.But he still responded to Gabriel with a face, although this kind of conversation similar to the spring outing of elementary school students seems a bit stupid.
Gabriel brought the snail to his lips, and blew lightly.
There was a long buzzing sound in the air, and the next moment, the lake under Gabriel's feet was like Moses dividing the sea, and a passage that could accommodate one person appeared at Gabriel's feet.
Some are like the passages of the underwater world. Walking inside, they can clearly see the world in the lake on both sides of the water wall, which is very beautiful.
As Gabriel walked in, the passage continued to burn behind him.
After a while, the lake returned to calm.
Three years later.
In Camelot's royal city infirmary, Merlin was reading a book.The brooms, trash buckets, rags and other items in the room are cleaning automatically and spontaneously.
The book Merlin was reading was one of Gaius's collections. It was a magic book, which contained many interesting little spells.
When he was in the Holy See, Merlin's spells were taught by His Royal Highness Gabriel.His Highness's spell goes back to the source and is very powerful.When studying with His Highness, Merlin could feel that his magic power was growing every moment.
The magic books collected by Gaius originated from the magic of ancient wizards before the great cleansing of this continent.From a professional point of view, Merlin saw that the threshold for these spells was not high, as long as there was a trace of magical power in his body, he could use them.
But the effect of the spell is interesting.
For example, [loud voice]?
Merlin grinned sullenly, the spells of the wizards are so interesting, even amplifying his own voice can produce a spell.Shouldn't this ability be innate, and can be achieved with just one thought?
After laughing, Merlin scanned the room, feeling a little lost in his heart.
He had thought that he would only stay in Camelot for a short time, even though Arthur Pendragon would be a good candidate, but he just wanted to see others.
After all, is it better to shop around?
But what he didn't expect was that the time he stayed was getting longer and longer.In the end, he managed to get out of the Holy See, and all his time was spent in Camelot.
There are only two months left in the three years agreed with the teacher.
What about traveling all over the mainland to find a real king?
And it turns out he's found a wayward, reckless, stupid royal bastard!
Merlin snorted softly.
He didn't notice the pleasure twinkle in his pretty blue eyes when he thought of Arthur.
Although Arthur is reckless, stupid and headstrong, he has to be said that in the eyes of the subjects of Camelot, he is a qualified prince.He is sympathetic to the people, brave and resolute, and never backs down from protecting his subjects.
Most importantly, he has no prejudice against magic.
He sympathized with the wizard who was persecuted by his father because of magic, and helped him several times.For this reason, he was punished countless times by King Uther, leaving large and small scars on his body, and was even almost revoked the right to inherit the throne by King Uther.
King Uther once yelled at Arthur's nose that he didn't need an heir who was obsessed with magic and always disobeyed him.
Melind said that when Arthur fought against King Uther in order to protect those wizards and alien races, he was very handsome.
He suddenly realized the charm of the King of Eternity that Kangola said.
If it were Arthur, he would definitely establish a country where ordinary people, wizards, and aliens could coexist peacefully.
Although Merlin would never say that in front of Arthur, he believed him in his heart.
Not only him, but Gaius, and Morgana.
God, Merlin didn't expect that Morgana was also a powerful witch.
It is not uncommon for the royal family to have a royal family with magic. Before the witch hunting order was promulgated, wizards always behaved so unscrupulously.
They are born with powerful strength, changeable abilities, and powerful magic power that can slow down aging, not to mention that they also have various magical potions.Few men would reject the kind of beauty that seems to be loved by time, which makes the witches' battles in the court always unfavorable.
In the long run, it is not surprising that there are wizards in the royal family.What's more, in ancient times, more than half of the human ancestors chose to marry with other races and gave birth to hybrid descendants.They are the predecessors of wizards, and no one can be sure that they are pure human beings before they awaken their power.
Not to mention the royal families of the seven kingdoms in the eastern continent mixed with the blood of ancient dragons, the royal family of Arendelle, a small seaside country in the northern continent, has a queen with powerful ice magic.However, the talent suddenly revealed at the coronation ceremony attracted the attack and annihilation of the Kingdom of Lapland.When Queen Elsa, who fled to the deep mountains, learned that her home was destroyed, it was too late.
The only luck is that her sister, Princess Anna, ran out of Arendelle's royal city alone despite the obstruction of the church and the Arendelle clan in order to find her sister.This saved Anna from dying in that massacre, but what happened in Arendelle was enough to drive the queen crazy.
She froze the Kingdom of Lapland, one of the three northern countries, and wanted to bloodbath the royal family of the Kingdom of Lapland.
But after all, Queen Elsa is not a cruel witch who can wantonly take human life. Even though she has the coldest talent, her heart is kinder than anyone else.After all, she did not kill even one member of the royal family of the Kingdom of Lapland, but she forcefully drove the king off the throne, and finally sent a nobleman who had been locked up for Arendelle's injustice to the throne of Lapland.
Queen Elsa sent the king and the nobles who planned Arendelle to the hands of the church.She knew that people in the church had sacrificed many people in order to protect Arendelle. She could not kill people, but these people also committed the crime of murdering God's people, and they should repent and atone for them in the second half of their lives.
After handing over the throne of Arendelle to Princess Anna, Elsa left Arendelle.
No one knows where the queen who once overthrew the rule of the Kingdom of Lapland has gone, but the pain she has suffered can only be healed slowly with time.
Morgana Pendragon is obviously luckier than Elsa.
Her brothers trusted her, supported her, and protected her.
Oh, by the way, there is also a very gentle and kind maid Gwennaville beside Morgana.But Arthur repulsed her, and always kept him away from Gwenaville, asking him not to be confused by her face.
Confused, why confused?
Merlin is very strange. Although Gwennaville has an eye-catching charm, with the addition of charm, her popularity is no less than that of Her Royal Highness Princess Camelot, and she is even more favored because of her status. After all, Well, the princess is not someone who can secretly think about it.
King Uther is deadly.
But Merlin didn't feel that those charms could disturb his heart.
After all, the most extreme beauty he has ever seen in the world is Her Highness Gabriel.
Of course, Merlin wasn't close to Gwenaville.On the one hand, Arthur persevered in blocking, and on the other hand, his dear disciple, the lovely Salazar, didn't like her.
Merlin also didn't want to clear her memory every time Salazar frightened Gwennaville. After all, Gwenaville didn't do anything wrong, it's just that she and Salazar's natures were a little different.
Thinking of Salazar, Merlin quickly thought about today's dinner.
Well, let's bake two eggs for Sal tonight.
Merlin glanced at the cabinet, only a faint golden light flashed in his eyes.As for Merlin, whose use of power has become increasingly mature and stable, maybe in another one or two years, he will be able to instantly cast any kind of elemental spell silently.
The cupboard opened wide, and two huge eggs, twice bigger than Salazar's Feathered Serpent egg, floated out with green moss all over their body.
This is the egg of the Soul Eater.
The soul-eating bird is a rather vicious magical creature that feeds on human souls and flesh, and often lives together with a male and a female.Often when they are ready to reproduce, they hunt humans in large numbers.Their lairs are dark red, stained with human blood.
Just about half a year ago, two soul-eating birds attacked Camelot.Arthur and Merlin teamed up to kill the two birds and found ten eggs in their nest.
Merlin packed the eggs and brought them back to Camelot.
Of course, Merlin has no plans to breed soul-eating birds.As the prophet of mankind, Merlin is different from Gabriel. He cannot stand at the highest point and remain indifferent to the struggle of mankind on the food chain. He is on the side of mankind.
Regarding the nature of the Soul Eater, Merlin has nothing to criticize.But this didn't prevent Merlin from taking action to kill them, and taking their eggs home to have dinner with his family Salazar.
The soul-eating bird's eggs contain strong magic power, and although the half-feathered snake demon is not a snake, it has some snake-like natures, such as eating bird eggs.
What could be more nutritious than a soul-eater's egg to Salazar's liking?
No one can stop a prophet who is determined to spoil the child, and Arthur can only help Merlin tie the cloth bag containing the egg to the horse and transport it back to Camelot.
Salazar obviously likes these eggs too, especially the taste.
If it weren't for the sacrifice of human life to raise the Soul Eater, Merlin would have wanted to keep two eggs to hatch the chicks, so that Salazar's ingredients could be sustainable.
As soon as he thought of his well-behaved and lovely apprentice, the door of the infirmary was knocked open with a "bang", and a small figure rushed in like a whirlwind.He deftly avoided the broom that was sweeping the ground, wiped the rags everywhere, and threw himself into Merlin's arms with a stride.
"Mei——" the deliberately elongated voice was childish, and the soft boy hugged Merlin's waist, raised his head, and smiled softly and cutely, "Sar is back."
"Welcome back." Merlin smiled, reaching out to rub the boy's hair.
The boy in Merlin's arms has a very delicate and beautiful face, black hair slightly curled up, and a pair of emerald green eyes are big and bright.He looked like he was seven or eight years old, but in fact, since he broke his shell, he was only three years old.
Wizards with the blood of magical creatures are always so privileged, and Salazar is obviously the leader among them.
Although his mother was only half blood, he still inherited quite a lot of Feathered Serpent Demon blood.Whether it is intelligence or magic, Salazar's fragile infancy is very short, which ensures that he can survive smoothly.
Salazar happily rubbed against Merlin's arms, and then he saw two bird eggs floating beside him, his big emerald green eyes lit up immediately, full of longing.
"May—is this Sal's dinner?"
"Of course." Merlin smiled and leaned over to rub Salazar's fair face, "It's all Thrall's."
Salazar smiled sweetly, and then had another meal in Merlin's arms.
Having had enough fun, Salazar remembered his purpose of running back in a hurry.
"May—" Salazar looked up, "Thal heard that the big villain is dead."
Merlin's heart tightened suddenly, the big villain is dead? !
Then, he quickly calmed down.
In Salazar's world, there are two villains, the villain refers to Arthur, and the big villain refers to King Uther!
"King Uther is dead?!"
Merlin froze.
"Yes." Salazar nodded vigorously, "I heard they said it was Salaam who did it."
The so-called listening, of course, was what Salazar secretly heard from the mind of the knight who had just rushed back to Camelot with a little spell he had just learned.
Merlin froze for a moment, although he always felt that King Uther was really an eyesore, his existence made him hesitant to choose Arthur.He could see that although King Uther was violent and his attitude towards Arthur became worse and worse, and even wanted to deprive Arthur of his right to inherit the throne, Arthur loved his father.
Now, Arthur has lost his father.
Merlin couldn't help sighing. He put Salazar on the ground, stroked his hair, and said softly, "Sal, you wait here obediently. The teacher will come back later to bake the bird eggs for you, okay?"
Salazar flattened his mouth, Merlin was going to find that villain, he knew it.
"Okay." Salazar muttered softly, "Sal is a good boy, and Sal will wait for May to come back. But, Sal wants to eat three roasted bird eggs tonight!"
"Deal." Merlin agreed straightforwardly.
His Salazar was so good at eating that he could swallow ten bird eggs if given the chance.
Merlin went to see Arthur.
Due to Arthur's attitude towards Merlin, and Merlin's treatment of more and more people under the guidance of Gaius, the palace guards are very polite to Merlin.After all, no one wants to offend a doctor, especially a doctor who is valued by the prince.
All the way through smoothly, Merlin came in front of Arthur.
Morgana was standing by Arthur's side, comforting him softly.
Merlin glanced at Morgana. The princess of Camelot didn't know that King Uther was actually her biological father. She almost knew about his life two years ago, if Merlin hadn't forcefully expelled the witch Morgoth.
If possible, Merlin hoped that this innocent witch could spend her life safely instead of being involved in revenge.
"Thank God, Merlin, you're here." Morgana was relieved when she saw Merlin. In her opinion, Merlin was Arthur's loyal friend. Coupled with Arthur's little thoughtfulness, Morgana was very happy. Create opportunities for them.
Although her younger brother is young, he is very handy in handling various affairs. She dares to say that everyone in Camelot loves him. Compared with King Uther, who used terror to suppress the people, Arthur will definitely become A wise and lenient monarch.
He is the undisputed king of the future.
But when Morgana felt helpless, her younger brother was obviously brilliant in other matters, but when it came to the matter of Merlin——
God bless you, Arthur, you, a grown man, have the nerve to argue with a young child.Also, Morgana has never seen her brother so stupid when he was able to turn a good show into a provocation, and then was hanged on the ceiling by Merlin's magic!
But no matter how stupid, it was always her brother.
She didn't feel sad for King Uther's death, maybe she used to have some admiration for King Uther, but when he became more and more violent and hurt the people she cared about again and again, the few emotions that were not there were gone. wasted away.But Arthur still cared, so she wouldn't look relieved.
Merlin...Although it was out of place, don't think she couldn't see what kind of feelings Arthur had for Merlin.Morgana couldn't bear to watch Arthur's broken halberds again and again, but at this juncture, Arthur's frustrating appearance might soften Merlin's heart.
Merlin nodded to Morgana, and he walked towards Arthur.
Morgana left the room, not forgetting to close the door for them.
Arthur, as Merlin guessed, he is not good.
Arthur's eyes were green, but unlike Salazar's emerald green like pinched shoots, his eyes were more like quiet pools of water, with blackness at the bottom.
Merlin had never seen Arthur in such a mess—his tears couldn't stop falling.
"It was my fault, Merlin." Arthur whispered in pain, "I should have gone with him, I could have protected him, I could have protected him."
King Uther set off for Amata five days ago, which is the territory of King Salam.He intended to reach some kind of agreement with King Salam, but at the scene of signing the agreement, someone assassinated King Uther.
As for Arthur, because of another conceptual conflict with King Uther the day before, he was not able to accompany him.
Although according to King Salam, it was the remnants of the wizard who murdered the King of Camelot.But this kind of false lie was not convinced by everyone, especially after he imprisoned the accompanying knights accompanying Camelot.
The knights who came back to deliver the letter escaped, and they couldn't let Camelot become passive.King Salam claimed that the day before the assassination, King Uther mentioned that Prince Arthur Pendragon could not be reused, and intended to pass the throne to his nephew Kunil Pendragon.
Kunil Pendragon was originally a crown prince, with the support of King Salam behind him, and Arthur's situation was obviously a little bit bad.
But that's nothing.
After all, Arthur has been a king for many years, and how many people can be deceived by King Salam's perverse actions?
The only thing that hurts Arthur is that his father is dead.
No matter what kind of tyrant King Uther is in the eyes of others, no matter how different his own ideas are from him, he is always his father.
Merlin was silent for a moment, he stretched out his arms to hug Arthur, and said slowly: "Don't worry, Arthur, everything will be fine, I promise."
