West's Summer [Comprehensive English and American]

At the end of the day, when West and Merlin walked out of the Floating World Forest one after the other, neither of them said a word.

Wiping the wet blood from the corner of his mouth, his mouth was full of ambiguous and unspeakable scars.The young man frowned slightly, and from the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the mage's face behind him, his face was obviously green and black, and he was agitated, but he could only turn his head and sigh silently.

Between them, some things really cannot be communicated in a few words.Moreover, today's incident came suddenly. In the final analysis, it was Merlin who pierced the window paper first. Before he made a clear statement and made a clear decision on their relationship, West made up his mind what to do. It looks like nothing happened, so I'm determined not to say that.

——Because, he is also a coward, afraid that he will be reluctant in the end.

Now that the mission of coming here has been completed, Avalon let them go simply.As for the scabbard of Excalibur, West did not intend to hide anything from Merlin. After popularizing the function of that thing, West asked his companion very sincerely if he needed to go to Vivienne to get it back... After all, it was The treasure that can save Arthur's life, with it, I believe that Merlin will not have to worry about King Camelot's doomed death every day, and can sleep soundly and soundly.

In fact, he said that at this point they had bitten each other headstrong, and the mage was still on fire.Therefore, it was no surprise to West that he was punched by Merlin as soon as he got up from the ground.

——No more, no, leave, me, one step.

At that time, Merlin really opened his mouth like this, his eyes were fierce, and his vocal cords were so angry that he was so angry that he could only jump out hoarsely word by word.West, who was beaten up, of course didn't dare to say anything. He probably felt that something would happen to him if he continued to be so provocative. He followed the rule that silence is golden along the way, trying to minimize his presence around Merlin, giving He breathes with enough room.

...except when passing the Unnamed Dao Monument.

He closed his eyes and opened them again, thinking that he would be beaten back to his original shape immediately if he left the abundant natural aura. In fact, he had already made all the mental preparations for this.But,

It wasn't until he walked far away in a trance, and even Merlin had begun to untie the horse tied to the tree before, but he still clearly retained his visual cognition of the world, that West finally realized that it turned out that the White Goddess The saying "take up the fate of you and Merlin" is not what he thought it was, it's just an ambiguous prediction about the future.

——She also gave him the capital to protect, and it was indeed fair for him to fulfill the ending she judged.

Slightly forced a smile, the boy thought so helplessly.For a god, being able to make concessions so far may be the limit, not to mention that his original purpose of coming to the Floating World Forest has been achieved. For Merlin and Arthur, he really shouldn't and can't be greedy anymore.

"Wei?"

He noticed that his companion behind him had been staring at the grass in a daze for a long time.Merlin turned around and handed the rein to the boy, but was taken aback by the never-quiet light in West's pupils: "Your eyes..."

"Can see, yes."

Try to keep yourself from thinking about what might happen in the future.West smiled and looked at the mage, nodded, with a relaxed tone:

"Maybe it was because I held the scabbard of Excalibur at that time, so I was even healed by its ability. After all, it is a divine object forged in the kingdom of elves. I think it will not be worse than your dragon's breath sword. pity……"

"No pity."

interrupted him abruptly.It seemed that he was afraid that the boy would still be thinking about snatching the scabbard from the witch.Merlin's face was still unhappy, and he didn't even have time to express his excitement that his comrade had finally recovered his light, so he mercilessly chased West onto the horse.

"Let's go."

"……and many more."

Seeing the protruding cheekbones on the mage's cheeks, West's heart moved. Before Merlin turned around, he grabbed Merlin's shoulders, bent down, and his eyes were unprecedentedly focused.

The dark-haired boy turned his head in confusion.

"If one day you knew that you had to leave someone's life and never come back, what would your last words be with him?"

"..."

It seems strange to ask this question at this time and in this place.At the very least, Merlin did frown and looked at West for several minutes, as if he was a little uncertain about his intentions in asking this question.

But the young man still stubbornly grabbed the corner of the mage's clothes, insisting on an answer.He had a hunch that if he didn't ask now, he might never be able to speak like that again.

"I actually hate that assumption."

Merlin thought for a while, and West could see clearly that he was indeed thinking seriously.Maybe they didn't have much time to delve into the answer to this question, but since West asked so solemnly, it must have extraordinary meaning to him, and Merlin didn't mind spending more time Seriously think about:

"But if it were me, when I want to leave the person I cherish forever, even a thousand words cannot describe all my feelings... So, in the end, I will probably only use a sentence of 'thank you' to sum it up."

Just like he once said goodbye to Freya and Lancelot by Lake Avalon.For those who love deeply, as long as they can still remember, it is not the final parting after all.Therefore, even with such ordinary words, even if you don't say anything, even if you just look at it, you will feel extremely satisfied.

"Is that so?"

The hand on the mage's shoulder unconsciously let go.There was no special expression on the young man's face, as if he was really just curious for a while, he just nodded lightly, and then remained silent.And Merlin should have realized something, and there was obvious worry in his frequent glances, and he wanted to ask, but he gave up because he realized that now was not a good time.

—Anyway, there are too many things to confess between them, and this one is not bad.

Riding the horse back to the east, the porter was full of hesitation and stopped talking.Camelot's royal warhorse galloped with Merlin and West all the way, stepping over mountain streams and streams.In the empty deep forest, only the crisp sound of horseshoes crushing fallen leaves can be heard, other than that, there is no sound.

And after a long, long time, when the mage recalled what happened that day, he remembered that he missed the answer of a thousand years by a single thought.All he could recall, apart from the thoughtful expression of the young man, was the silence that pervaded the barren mountains.

Just like that.

……

West's hunch came true back in Camelot.

The city wall in the setting sun was like a huge net that was stretched out, which made people panic for no reason.The once bustling streets were now empty, and every household closed their doors early, as if they wanted to avoid the coming darkness in the house. Even the soldiers who usually watch the night took up their weapons and wandered among the houses early, with unprecedented serious expressions.

"It's a curfew. Whenever Arthur takes the knights out, it will be like this in Camelot."

His brows were tightly frowned, and he had a hunch that they must have missed something serious.Merlin got off his horse in a panic, stumbled and ran into the palace, as if he was in a hurry to find someone to confirm the king's whereabouts.

No rush to follow.West stood at the same spot and looked around at the castle that really lacked a lot of popularity, dialed the weird black earring on his right ear, and carefully searched every corner he sensed.

Arthur was not there, the Knights were not there, Gaius was not there, not even the Queen was there.

He could 'see' Merlin running in the winding corridors of the palace, and the few remaining servants were awakened one by one, but no one could accurately answer the mage's question.It wasn't until he staggered into the king's room and tore off the map pressed by the candlestick on the table, the winding route drawn on it, and several place names painted in red, that he clearly showed where Arthur was now.

——Sword fence.

Almost at the same time as the mage muttered the name, West's pupils shrank suddenly, as if being hit by a fist in the chest suddenly, and he couldn't breathe for a moment.

——The barren valley that he passed through not long ago is the stage where the Eternal King is about to die.

Thinking of all the things he had read in history books, the blood on the boy's face faded away like melting snow.Instead, it was almost transparent pale, and even the firm and strong hands trembled slightly.

'Go, Merlin, we must go now! ! '

Through the telepathy, the mage's mind kept urging, and Merlin also understood the seriousness of the matter, and rushed out of the palace like an arrow, jumped on his horse and galloped out of the city.If it is said that West's prophet comes from his innate advantage of time, from the future's comprehensive and specific detection of the past, then Merlin's prophecy comes more from the malice of the gods, even if the dragon has already Reminding him of all kinds of things here, but still inadvertently contributed to the doomed fate.

Now, they have to race desperately against time.Every ray of wind whizzing past the cheeks is mixed with the elegy of the life of the Eternal King. If you want to stop all this from happening, you can only hurry before the Knights of the Round Table confront Morgana, before Mordred confronts Asia. Only before Se swung his sword could things take a turn for the better.

However, even in such a pressing atmosphere, there are still people rushing to die without looking too far.

"You came back a little earlier than I expected."

The hood was lifted, revealing the old, wrinkled face beneath the cloak.The druid high priest who once fought against West in Camelot sighed, and glanced at the blue jewel-like pupils of the brown-haired boy, with a hint of interest on his face:

"It seems that you have already reached a deal with the White Goddess?"

Without answering his obligation, West snorted coldly from his nose.On the contrary, Merlin, because he didn't know how Tong escaped from the Fountain of Sages, was quite concerned about the old priest's words: "What deal? Wei, what did he mean?"

"...It's just a small condition to restore eyesight, nothing to worry about."

Knowing that denying it completely would only arouse Merlin's suspicion, Wester paused and replied half-truthfully.Although he is actually not afraid that this old man will have some headaches with Merlin, and there is nothing he can't let the mage know, but their time is running out after all, and it is really not worthwhile to waste it here for no reason choose.

What's more, he still had a debt with him not long ago that he had to settle carefully.

"You go first, Merlin. I'll deal with him."

After flipping the earrings, he fixedly stared at the smiling old wizard, his pupils constricted, and his face was so gloomy that it seemed to be dripping water.

"...be careful."

They opened their mouths, even though they were unwilling to leave West here alone, they understood that this was the best choice they could make now.The black-haired mage hesitated for a while, but finally nodded.

"Don't even think about leaving today."

Raising the staff high, he began to chant the spell that concealed the ancient power.Although the old priest knew that he would never be Emerys' opponent, the young man recovered his strength at this time, and he was also a threat that could not be ignored.But his mission is to stop them a little bit here.As long as we go all out to delay Emorys and the hermit here and buy some time for Morgana, it won't be a difficult task.

It's a pity that, with a perfect plan and the determination to break the boat, he still lost because he underestimated West's ability too much.

"It's only when I'm weak that I can only draw with a blind man. Based on this level, where did you get the illusion that you can single out me and Merlin after I fully recover?"

He also pointed out that as he flew across the air, countless streams of air compressed to the extreme roared away, not only preparing for the wizard's chant, but also engraving cracks several meters deep on the ground around him.At the same time, Merlin also grasped the reins tightly, and galloped away, skipping the side of the wizard in the blink of an eye, and continued to move forward.Seeing that the Druid high priest blocked his attack in embarrassment, and did not forget to raise his staff, wanting to cast magic on Merlin's back, West raised the corner of his mouth mockingly, just a thought flashed, the wizard The air in front of him suddenly solidified into a transparent barrier, and the strong wind blew past, instantly turning this forest into a closed space that imprisoned the two of them.

"Eric once taught me that revenge must be repaid, and repayment must be doubled."

Move your fingers, and the airflow raging in the barrier begins to wrap around the young man's right hand little by little, gradually wrapping it into a transparent but absolutely terrifying air blade, unparalleled in sharpness, but still no more intimidating than his eyes.

"I have a hundred ways to make you regret living in this world, old man."

West sneered.Before the wizard could see how he was moving, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his shoulder blade.Looking down, he realized that he had been pierced by an invisible sharp blade.

And the man still stood there casually:

"If you almost killed me a few years ago, although the matter would never end, I would make your death more painful. But now, unfortunately, my temper is not as good as before. If you feel that life is worse than death, Just regret why you didn't get rid of me earlier."

"...A demon like you will not be allowed by fate to continue living in this world." Holding the blood gushing from his wound tightly, the wizard looked at the young man with hatred in his eyes: "You and Emorys, In the end, you will not be able to escape the judgment of the three-faced goddess, and you will definitely pay the price for your sins!!"

"To shut up."

He waved his hand mercilessly, and another qi blade cut on the priest's leg.West indifferently watched the wizard fall to the ground in embarrassment, his eyes mocking, as if he had heard the most incredible joke in the world:

"Your gods are not yet qualified to judge my sins. They are afraid of my ability, and they tried to get rid of me again and again, didn't they all fail? Whether it was using your mouth to make Merlin feel jealous, or the inexplicable one at Barton Hill The ghost knight who threw a sword at me, or the memory of using the scabbard of Excalibur to lure me into the Fountain of Sages... Do you think that I am really like Merlin, and that these are all coincidences by chance?"

Druid's expression finally changed.

"Obviously a pathetic loser, why do you think that I will be swayed by you?" Pity shook his head, and the sarcasm in West's eyes was even worse: "The person I want to save, the future I want to change, is considered a god." I can't stop it either."

—So, those absurd fates?

Stretch out your fingers and slowly touch your forehead. With psychic abilities, no one can resist the invasion of consciousness by that devastating force.He watched the Druid's expression instantly become empty and blank, and his expression was as calm as ever, like a god who came from a mountain of corpses and looked down on all living beings from the clouds.

——Obviously, as long as I have the power, I can also easily sentence you to eternal death.
