West's Summer [Comprehensive English and American]

So, the next thing is very simple.

Because he was a little frightened by Merlin's rare heart and soul, at the end of the day, when West finally walked out of the hut under the urging of Gaius, he still had a dazed expression on his face, and he was refreshed with the people around him. The mages are in stark contrast.The old doctor couldn't help wondering whether Merlin had bullied his "little son", and without any explanation, he fished out all the chicken legs in his bowl.

In this regard, the doctor said that he was really innocent.

Because West had saved the life of King Camelot several times on Mount Barton, the reason why he was seriously injured and fell off the cliff in the end was also due to the exhaustion of too much energy and exhaustion.Therefore, adhering to the ancient chivalry spirit of repaying kindness, Arthur naturally wanted to reward the young man with something—and after seeing how the blind West did not change his expression, he let go in the blink of an eye. After Gao Wen, who couldn't bear the loneliness, came to tease him, a thought that had taken root in his heart for a long time but was shelved because of the boy's eyes began to stir again.

"What? You want to confer a title on Serena Williams and make him your knight?!"

Shocked, he poured the wine on Arthur's lap, and Merlin couldn't help but stare, his voice was so loud that it almost knocked off the ceiling:

"Arthur, is your brain blocked by eating too much? His eyes are already like that, how could he train and hunt with you every day like the Knights of the Round Table, and fight to the death like a fool in the duel field from time to time for people to watch ?!"

"...Are you going to sleep in a dungeon tonight, Merlin?"

Resisting the urge to press that stupid face into the soup plate.The veins on Arthur's forehead bulged, and he felt that he was too kind to his servants, so he couldn't teach him how to talk to the king.

"I also think it's a bit inappropriate."

It's not as excited as Merlin's on the surface.Gwen put down the knife and fork worriedly, as if she couldn't believe that Arthur would make such an unwise decision:

"Serena is still a child, Arthur. And he is blind and can't even take care of himself. How can he afford to protect Camelot? If he joins the round table, he will definitely be bullied by those knights! "

"...I have reservations about that."

The corners of his mouth twitched imperceptibly, thinking of West's beautiful over-the-shoulder fall this morning, and the crisp sound of bone dislocation at the end, even Arthur couldn't help wiping away bitter tears on Gao Wen's arm—— Before he lost his sight, he was already a human-shaped killer, but he didn't expect that after he lost his sight, the level of ferocity would increase to a higher level, and he rushed to destroy the opponent's target... Arthur felt that if it weren't for West and Gao Wen Considering his friendship, and knowing what a hellish temper that guy has, it is estimated that this "girl knight" may have to say goodbye to his beloved girls forever.

——So, you tell me that he can't take care of himself well, and that he will be bullied by the knights of the round table because of his blindness? ...? !

"Go and ask Serena for his own opinion... If he doesn't want to, I certainly won't force it."

Arthur couldn't help twitching the corners of his eyes when he was stared at by his servants and the queen.In order to be able to finish the meal well, he wisely chose to take a step back and put the whole matter on West's head - anyway, he didn't have to ask the boy to join the Knights of the Round Table... just like Greg As Wen just said, if it weren't for the thought of wanting to repay something, Camelot really hasn't fallen to the point of asking a blind man to guard it.

As expected, West naturally rejected Arthur's kindness very simply.As far as he is concerned, there are enough things that he needs to worry about, and he doesn't need to carry another burden on him, especially if he is going to be a hellish Knight of the Round Table——Looking at Merlin's hesitant and extremely disgusted Looking at his eyes, he felt that he had every reason to believe that this would definitely not be a good job worth looking forward to.

and--

'Will you be my knight, West?Always, always only protect Alai? '

Across the cold iron bars, the end sound full of longing and childishness hovers in the dark ground.He closed the worn and yellowed book in his hand, looked back at the blue-eyed girl holding his clothes, her eyes full of expectation, like a princess trapped on a high tower in a fairy tale, so lonely and innocent, doing something A dream I never want to wake up from.

'lelady.'

West remembered that at that time he really answered like that, and even abided by the ancient English knight etiquette, and kissed Adelaide's forehead lightly.However, even though he solemnly made such an oath of protection and was willing to give up the softest part of his heart, he couldn't hold her back step by step towards the abyss of eternal doom, and death would follow one after another even if the hatred didn't stop. to.

Close your eyes quietly, although this action has no meaning for him now, but it can really make the heart embrace the silence in the dark.The boy sat on the high wall of the Camelot Palace, feeling the breeze of early summer, letting the setting sun shine on his body.The noisy hustle and bustle of the downtown area was as usual, and with the sound of the metal rubbing against the armor of the knights on the training ground, since you don’t need to look at it with your eyes, you can imagine what a fascinating bustling it must be.

...what a beautiful world.

They all live on the road to the future, single-minded, carried by the never-ending scroll of time.

But some people are destined to run in the opposite direction all their lives, and are willing to indulge in the untouchable reflection.

He laughed silently.

"I think that person must feel very happy... because he can be missed so deeply by you"

Not far away, a clear voice suddenly sounded.Stepping on the ancient bricks and stones of the castle, the heavy knight boots walked along the battlements with almost no sound, but it still couldn't bring any degree of surprise to West.

"On the contrary, she is now too tired to let me see her again."

Curving the corner of his mouth, he nodded politely in the direction of the person coming:

"Hello, Knight Mordred."

"Hello, West."

The young knight laughed heartily.He patted West on the shoulder, and his voice was slightly hoarse as a teenager. For a moment, it reminded him of the forest washed by heavy rain in summer for no reason.

"As they say, you are an amazing person."

He moved closer and looked directly into the boy's gray and empty eyes.Mordred waved his hand curiously in front of him, the tattoo of the Drew on the skin of the wrist flashed away in the setting sun, "Well, are your eyes really blind?"

"If I could have seen it, I would have noticed it when you left the training ground."

Dodging backwards, West shrugged helplessly.As for the knight who is the youngest in the round table but not inferior to the others, he often hears Gaius or Gawain mention it. It seems that he betrayed Morgana in order to rescue Arthur, and was later named a Camelot knight. It's just that he didn't know until today that this young knight was actually a wizard like Merlin—although he had used magic to cover his footsteps, but for a psychic who relied on brain waves instead of vision , Even if he hides his whole body, it is absolutely impossible to quietly approach him within 30 meters of Zhou Sheng.

...So, after all, I'm still a child.

Naturally, he could sense that Mordred was still testing himself with various small means, and only the 'old man' whose face was still in the category of a teenager sighed silently.Although he really didn't mind the fact that he had lost his vision, he would still feel a little uncomfortable if it was always mentioned.

"So, what do you want me for, knight?"

Quickly stretched out two fingers, and accurately clamped Mordred's claws that were still dangling in front of his eyes.West raised his head and said so lightly.

"No, I don't have anything important to do."

He didn't mind being found out about his little actions.Mordred stared at the brown-haired boy for a long time, until the sunset was fading in the sky, the knights of the round table on the training ground had finished their training for the day, and started walking towards the tavern in twos and threes, finally he seemed to have discovered some treasure The child laughed mysteriously——

"I just suddenly wanted to see what kind of person is that who can be carefully guarded behind by Emerys."

Reaching out to pick up a strand of light brown hair from West's cheek, under the afterglow of the setting sun, it was coated with a layer of warm and soft orange.He bent his knuckles, let it bend between his fingers, and slowly slid down. Mordred glanced behind the young man for the last time, with a deeper smile on his face:

"Then I'll take my leave... I look forward to our next meeting, Serena."

Before he finished speaking, with the first gust of evening wind blowing from the sky, he turned around without hesitation, his back merged into the setting sun, and disappeared into the rising night.

Still sitting in place, quietly listening to the footsteps of the young knight going away.West moved his fingertips slightly, as if he wanted to do something, but there was nothing after all.

"If I'm not mistaken, that's Mordred, right?"

Walking up from the other side of the city wall, Merlin, who had just finished his day's work, stood beside West, frowning as he stared at the direction the knight was leaving: "What does he want you for?"

"He thinks I'm a wizard too...and, maybe a wizard who was sheltered and taught by Emerys."

Although it was not necessary, he still followed Merlin's wishes and held his hand to jump off the battlements with his strength.West shrugged and told Mordred's thoughts that he had sensed one by one.

"He suspects you?" Although Mordred himself is a druid, but in Camelot, where magic is absolutely forbidden, who knows if he will bring Serena's death because of leaking secrets, the mage frowned. Wrinkled even tighter: "Then why didn't you let him forget just now? Just like erasing the memory of Arthur and Gao Wen back then, how do you feel with your heart..."

"Telepathy."

Sighing, his face became more and more helpless.West quickly grabbed the companion who wanted to drag the knight back to brainwash himself, and didn't think it would be a big problem:

"As you said, Merlin, Mordred is also a druid, and he would never risk exposing himself by casually revealing this matter... Moreover, he even knows your true identity, since you I haven't been burned to death by Arthur yet, so what if he suspects me, a useless blind man?"

"Don't say that, Serena."

Shaking his head disapprovingly.It seemed that he was very unwilling to hear West describe himself in such a slightly self-deprecating manner, and Merlin only felt a burst of unreasonable sadness in his heart:

"I swear, I will find a way to cure you. No matter what the price is, I will definitely restore your light... Just wait a little longer, just be patient."

"No, Merlin. As I said, this is not your responsibility at all, and you don't have to take it to heart all the time."

The palm holding Merlin's wrist involuntarily added some strength, of course he could 'hear' what the mage's "price" meant.Perhaps it was because he jumped on the wrong person on Mount Barton at that time, so that he was seriously injured and fell off the cliff. Since the reunion, Merlin always seemed to have an inexplicable sense of indebtedness to West.Leaving aside the fact that he held him to the point of crying when he came back that day, this guy just got into the habit of protecting West behind him no matter what he did, it was enough to make the boy at a loss what to do. …God knows how much of Cowen's dislocated arm this morning was Merlin's work.After all, he still knows his own strength, and it is still a little difficult to make a knight who has experienced many battles fall like that bear. It is estimated that the mage secretly put magic on Gao Wen's body - anyway, Gai Us was able to fix his bones in less than a minute, but it was just a little painful. With Gao Wen's personality of remembering to eat but not to hit, I am afraid that he will forget this in a long time.

"Serena, Serena?"

Seriously thinking about how Gao Wen will be languid for a few hours before starting to be alive and kicking again.It wasn't until Merlin shook his shoulders suddenly that he realized that he had gone off to some unknown place.West turned his head, apologized and smiled at the mage, indicating that he was listening to him now:

"...I'm sorry, Merlin... you just said Gao Wen... What's the matter with Gao Wen?"

"..."

She stared at him silently for a while, obviously thinking whether she should beat him up now.Merlin sighed helplessly, stretched out his hand and rubbed the boy's head up to his chin, and couldn't tell whether he was more angry or amused:

"I said, Gao Wen is already waiting for us at the tavern... If you think it's time, how about we go there now?"

The corner of his mouth twitched, he still remembered the scene of pulling Gao Wen out of the tavern last time.Although Merlin didn't like it and didn't want to take West to that kind of place, after all, it was Gao Wen's invitation and Serena agreed, so there was no room for him to speak.Therefore, all I can do now is probably to watch him closely in the tavern, and try to coax him out of there early.

——Although he didn't have any expectations for the latter...

"Let's go then."

Rather, the decision was straightforward.Letting go of Merlin's wrist and grabbing the hem of his clothes instead, West nodded to the mage, followed his steps and gradually disappeared into the last rays of the setting sun.
