[comprehensive] not human

"No? How could there be no!" Before the others could react, Master Duncan screamed first. He was so angry that his face was flushed with anger, "There should be dragons in the ground! The fairy gave me instructions!"

The captain of the Cavaliers confirmed his previous doubts even more. Out of caution, he decided to take the risk himself: "I'm going to go down and have a look."

"Please." As soon as the wooden stick hit the ground, the gap expanded several times again, and there was even a series of steps protruding from the soil, leading to the cave below, "It's not far, it's at the end."

The knight captain took the torches from the other companions, led the other knights, and walked into the crack first.

Master Duncan glared at Merlin fiercely, but unfortunately the other party still ignored him, which made him even angrier.

Soon the Cavalier Captain also came out, and he glanced at the expectant Mage Duncan with a strange expression: "There are indeed no dragons down here." However, there are other things.He didn't say the latter sentence, and decided to tell His Majesty the King directly later.

Because there was no danger, King Uther decided to come in person after listening to the knight captain's report. When he arrived, more knights had surrounded the gap, and Yan Bai was waiting for him in front of the gap.

The old man's long white beard was blown by the wind, and his gray-green eyes were fixed on King Uther. Although this Merlin magician was quite old, he was good-looking, and his temperament was even more outstanding than any magician King Uther had ever seen. , making people unconsciously believe every word he said.So King Uther chose to believe him, chose to let him go to kill the dragon, and chose to believe the knight captain's statement that Duncan was jealous of Merlin.After all, Master Duncan's narrow-mindedness has also been heard by King Uther.

Duncan didn't know that the king had already had a lot of prejudice against him in his heart, so he hurried up to meet his majesty, and reprimanded Merlin's nonsense of "there are no dragons below" in the most upright and stern tone, and pointed out that it was The magician's conspiracy, he wanted to take the opportunity to frame His Majesty the King.

King Uther patiently listened to Duncan's righteous words, and finally made a suggestion: "Then why don't you come with me? I believe that the great Duncan magician can protect my safety."

Duncan couldn't refute for a while. If he said no, it seemed to be telling King Uther that he was inferior to Merlin. less than.At that time, even if Merlin's plot is revealed, he will surely lose the king's trust.

Thinking of this, Duncan straightened his waist and chest, and answered King Uther loudly: "Yes, Your Majesty. I will do my best to protect your Majesty the King!"

King Uther didn't say anything more, and signaled that Bai would lead the way.

Yan Bai glanced at Duncan's trembling fingers holding the staff so hard that they turned white, couldn't help showing a hint of ridicule, turned around and walked down the dirt steps in the gap.

A group of people filed down in a file, and as soon as they entered the dark and narrow gap, a white light appeared on the staff of Merlin who was walking in the front.The soft light illuminates the dark space, so that everyone can see the surrounding soil and the shadows walking on the soil, and the sand and stones falling from the top of the head from time to time make people feel frightened.But this ladder is not long, and it will soon come to an end.The steps broke off at the end, but the entire space suddenly expanded several times, forming a spacious space more than ten meters high and half the size of a palace.

Merlin raised his wand, several beams of white light shot out from the original light source, scattered to every corner, illuminating the stones that seemed to be walls.

"This..." King Uther's throat tightened, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.

In the dim light, he saw two gigantic dragons baring their teeth and claws, imprisoned in the stone.The stones are strangely translucent, the dragon's wings are still unfolded, and even the opened yellow pupils seem to move in the next second, looking at these tiny outsiders.

A white dragon, a red dragon, they are fighting each other, with their mouths wide open, trying to bite each other's neck with their sharp teeth, and cut each other's wings with sharp claws.

"So there is indeed a dragon here, but it's just sealed inside." Yan Bai explained to the others, he was staring at the huge monster more than ten meters high in the stone, trying hard to clear the voice in his head but it was in vain.

Everyone was amazed at the majesty of the Dragon Clan, but they saw the body of Merlin who illuminated them swayed slightly. Although he quickly regained his footing, he still attracted everyone's attention.

"Mage, are you alright?" King Uther asked concerned.

"...The red dragon represents Wales, and the white dragon represents Saxon." Yan Bai murmured and repeated the vague voice in his head, and he fell into a mysterious state, as if he had seen a lot. , as if seeing nothing, "Two dragons fight against each other, and the red dragon will eventually defeat the white dragon."

He suddenly woke up and swallowed the remaining words, but everyone present at this time understood what he meant.

"This is a prophecy." King Uther whispered.

Duncan couldn't help repeating the analysis: "The red dragon will eventually defeat the white dragon, which means that the Welsh will defeat the Saxons."

Yan Bai rubbed his temple, feeling the pain there as if being pricked by a needle, this was the first time he had truly experienced the feeling of prophecy and the mystery of fate.

After Yan Bai made that prediction, King Uther's attitude towards him suddenly changed 180 degrees.First, he completely rebuilt the White Tower into other places according to his instructions, and then asked Yan Bai to become an advisor to the kingdom, and even allowed him to continue walking around, asking him to come back only when he was needed.

In other words, Yan Bai can travel around with a salary for nothing. This was an invitation made by the king himself. Yan Bai originally refused, but after touching his pocket, he immediately stopped the rejection on his lips. Instead, I promised that there is no way to beat a good man with a penny. As a penniless and unemployed vagrant, if he does not accept this job that fell from the sky, he will do his old job as a magician-in the streets. Helping people with divination for various problems, there is also the risk of being smashed.

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt that King Uther's face was ten times more amiable than before, and the latter even asked Duncan to apologize to him for Duncan's previous "unreasonable" advice to the king.

Duncan twitched his face and apologized stiffly, but at this moment Yan Bai remembered the fairy he had mentioned before.

"You said that there are dragons in the ground, did the fairy give you instructions? Could it be that she meant to catch a half-human magician?" Yan Bai asked.

Duncan glared at him: "Of course, it was the beautiful Avalon fairy Alice who told me about the existence of dragons. She is the most glorious and holy existence in this world, and she can't be wrong!" It seemed that he was afraid that King Uther would misunderstand this. Fairy Alice, who was more panicked than misunderstanding herself, paused after saying this sentence and then hastily added, "Fairy Alice only talked about arresting Merlin, and I got the bloodletting later on from my own divination... ...not the fairy's fault."

At this time, King Uther showed his diplomatic skills as a king again. After listening to this, he severely criticized Duncan for the serious mistake he made this time, and then turned to Yanbai with a smile on his face: "It seems that the truth has come out, and Master Duncan also I realized my mistake and sincerely apologize to you. I heard that you are from Avalon, but I don’t know if it is as peaceful and beautiful as the legend says..."

Following King Uther's guidance, Yan Bai walked towards the palace, leaving Duncan behind. The latter twisted his face again behind a large number of knights following them.

At night, Yan Bai stood on the balcony of the palace guest room, overlooking the entire capital.The castle where King Uther lived was built on the highest point of the entire royal city. Standing here, you can easily see every street.The whole royal city is a continuous fortress, the houses and city walls inside are all milky white, at night, sporadic lights move back and forth on the four corners of the royal city and the city walls, otherwise it is dark.

The darkness of the ground makes the sky appear brighter.Countless stars shine in the night sky, and a thin crescent moon hangs in the eastern sky.The cold night wind blew the gauze curtain by the door, Yan Bai turned his head and looked at the woman who appeared in the room: "It's really you."

Fairy Alice was staring at him in a long robe and a flower crown, and the black lilies emitted a faint blue light in the dark room: "Merlin, I will give you one last chance, will you still love me? If you will Promise to love me and I will take back the curse on you."

Yan Bai turned around and leaned against the stone railing of the balcony, with his elbows resting on his sides, which should have been a chic gesture, but because he is now an old man who looks old, it looks very funny.

Alice showed an unbearable expression, stepped forward, raised her hand, and touched Merlin's cheek, tears gleamed in her eyes under the starry sky: "You are so handsome, Merlin, tell me you love me, I will do it for you." You touch the curse."

Yan Bai was silent, and suddenly he asked: "Did you also spread the news about me being half-human, half-nightmare?"

Alice knew what he meant from his cold tone, put down her hand, and her eyes gradually turned cold: "Yes."

"And about the bloodletting?"

"It was me too. Could it be that Duncan did it?" Alice had a disgusted expression on her face, the kind of disgust she would have if she accidentally stepped on a dead mouse while walking on the road. It is wishful thinking to want to get my favor."

Everything made sense, Yan Bai half closed his eyes: "So you told him everything about me."

"That's right, he's jealous of you, Merlin. Jealous of you getting my love, jealous of you being the child of the Elf King, and jealous of your magical talent." Alice told the whole story, "Are you going to kill him?"

"……Not interested in."

"You are still so arrogant, Merlin. Then you can continue to enjoy the gift I gave you!" The sharp female voice disappeared into the night wind, riding the wind to blow away Yanbai's long white hair, and flew to other places under the starry sky , maybe it was Duncan's room.

Yan Bai opened his eyes and continued to stare at the star-studded night sky. He saw a meteor piercing the sky and falling towards the west.
