[comprehensive] not human

From the old man who claimed to be Merlin, Artoria knew that King Uther transformed into the Duke of Cornwall with the help of the Duncan magician 16 years ago. she.Her birth was beyond the expectations of her noble parents. For their reputation and the dignity of the royal family, her father had to ask Merlin to send her to a noble knight family to be raised. , the Duke of Cornwall was accidentally killed in a war, and the duchess who became a widow remarried immediately and became a queen. If she was sent away later, she would not be the adopted daughter of an unknown noble knight family, but the daughter of the entire kingdom. Princess.

Yan Bai told Artoria everything, and the other party fell into deep thought. From her frown and downcast eyes, Yan Bai saw Artoria's shame at a glance.

"You don't have to be ashamed of this, the dishonorable union is your parents' fault, you are not at fault," Yan Bai said flatly, not feeling that accusing the old king was a treasonous act, "You said before that no matter who becomes the king, you I don’t care, but if I tell you that you will lead the entire kingdom to a peak after you become king, would you be willing to do it?”

"I..." Arturia hesitated. If she wanted to become king, she had to participate in the selection process. Not long ago, she rejected her adoptive father, Sir Eckert, on the grounds that real knights should not rob friends of their chances. , wouldn't it make her go back on what she said now?

Yan Bai quietly waited for her to make a decision, closed his eyes, and countless pictures flashed before his eyes, as if he was flipping through a book, the pages were flipping and the pictures kept changing.He saw a petite girl with blond hair wearing a fine dress, kneeling on one knee and putting on a golden crown in front of the bishop. He saw her wearing light armor and holding a long knife to fight the enemy. He saw her standing on a high city wall, Below was the cheering crowd, flowers rained down on her, and she wore a cloak in glory.

"I... I won't go. Kay is the representative of the family, I'm not." Artoria hesitated at first, but soon she made up her mind, and her tone became sincere and firm. She licked her lips , not daring to look into Yan Bai's eyes, "I'm sorry, Mage Merlin, I can't go against the chivalry spirit I've always upheld."

But Yan Bai laughed, and he left behind an inscrutable "You will go to Wangcheng".

That afternoon, Knight Kai set off for Wangcheng on behalf of the family.And a few days later, Arturia rode a horse and rushed out of the castle to the west. She was entrusted by her adoptive father to cheer for her friend Kai.After no one could pull out the sword in the stone, the way of electing the king changed again. A grand contest was held in the royal city. The winner would be recognized by the bishop and then crowned king. Artoria was in this situation. Go cheer for Kay.

After Yan Bai witnessed Artoria leaving the city, he started to walk towards the royal city in a leisurely manner.He didn't ride a horse, he only walked on two feet, and was pulled further and further away by the galloping Artoria.

At noon that day, he passed a dense forest.The forest is full of tall trees of all kinds, and the ground is also covered with waist-high bushes. Yan Bai walks slowly along the path opened by the hunter.Suddenly, he heard a voice——

Yan Bai listened attentively and confirmed that it was singing.A young girl sang gracefully somewhere in the forest, her voice was clear and crisp, and the tune was lively. She unconsciously slowed down her pace, and was completely absorbed by the singing.

The voice is far and near, and the tone is also high and low, making people uncertain how far away they are from the singer.

Yan Bai didn't know what was going on, he really wanted to meet this singer.Perhaps it was because the voice of the other party reminded him of the elves singing in the Avalon forest, and the ethereal tunes in the palace of the elf king. Go deep in the forest.

The feet in cowhide boots step on the thick layer of rotting leaves. A spider hangs down from the branch and quickly climbs back to the branch. The magician in the white robe walks faster and faster in the dark green forest. Directly use the staff to remove the shrubs and trees in front of you.

The singing is getting louder and the tone is getting clearer and clearer, it's getting closer... it's almost there...

Yan Bai stopped abruptly and froze on the spot.He saw a silvery brook not far away. A young girl was sitting by the brook, her snow-white calf soaked in the brook water. She was singing and splashing the brook water with the flowers in her hands. Hanging from behind the girl's ears on her knees, her smiling face is shockingly beautiful.

Before this, Yan Bai never thought that one day he would fall in love with a person of the opposite sex at first sight. In fact, he has always restrained and alienated emotionally. Even when he was with Su Xin back then, he never felt so excited as he is now.Are girls beautiful?beautiful.But other than that, he didn't know anything about her, so how could he fall in love with her?But he really fell in love with a girl he had never met before.Moreover, this kind of feeling came so suddenly and grew so fast that he was afraid of disturbing her, so he would rather just watch her from a distance.Because he knew that his current appearance would not only attract the girl's liking, but his rash confession would only make her disgusted.

Speaking of appearance, he thought of the curse of the fairy Alice. He will fall in love with a human woman who will never love him. Is this the girl?

The girl by the stream didn't notice anything, she continued playing with the water and singing, her beautiful eyes showed a happy look, and when she smiled, it seemed that the whole world was brightened.

Yan Bai stood motionless and stared at the girl, forgetting the time.It wasn't until the girl got tired of playing and singing that she threw the flowers into the brook and stood up, did Yan Bai quickly hide behind the tree to make sure she couldn't see him.The girl patted the dirt on her skirt, put her hands behind her back, and walked away in a hop. Yan Bai stared at her back, and for the first time a look of pain appeared in her usually indifferent eyes.

He knew that his love was false because of the curse of the fairy Alice, but he couldn't control it. If love could be controlled by reason, the White Snake would not repeatedly take risks for Xu Xian, and Alice would not ignore it several times. Confess everything to Yanbai, and there will not be countless people who are obsessed with it and intoxicated by it throughout the ages.

It wasn't until the girl's figure disappeared into the woods that Yan Bai let go of his clenched fist. Just now he almost chased after her and told her I love you.When will he have this kind of impulse? If those who know him know, they will be surprised from ear to ear.

Yan Bai turned around and quickly walked in the opposite direction of the girl, forcing his feet to face the direction of the royal city instead of following the footprints left by the girl.Obviously the girl disappeared for a long time, and the voice of the other party singing just now was still echoing in his ears, her face appeared in front of Yan Bai very clearly, the latter knew that if he was given a piece of paper and a pen now, He could accurately describe the girl's every move, every frown and smile.

Because of this sudden incident, Yan Bai was planning to walk slowly to the king city, but in order to forget the girl in the forest, he had to stay as far away from her as possible so that he could slowly forget her—although the effect was minimal——Yan Bai In the next town, I directly bought a good horse and rushed to Wangcheng.

Along the way, the girl's voice and smile always appeared in his mind uncontrollably, and Yan Bai often smiled involuntarily before he found out.

The heart demon almost died laughing at this, Yan Bai didn't bother to talk to him.He and him have one heart and two sides, so the demon must also fall in love with the girl.But he was different from Yan Bai, not only confessed freely when Yan Bai questioned him, but also kept urging Yan Bai to find the girl and let her accept them.

What he said was: "Anyway, your force value is so high now, don't waste it, even if the other party refuses, you can force her to stay with us."

"Shut up." Yan Bai's expression was more gloomy and terrifying than at any time in the past few decades, but instead of restraining himself, the inner demon laughed even louder in the sea of ​​consciousness.

Wang Cheng appeared in front of Yan Bai amidst the ear-piercing laughter of the heart demon.The snow-white city walls, majestic guards, and bustling streets have not been seen for several years, and the capital of the Kingdom of England is still as beautiful as ever.

He jumped off his horse and passed the gate of the city smoothly. As soon as he entered the royal city, he saw many people running in the same direction from all directions.

I randomly asked someone to inquire about the situation, and the other person showed an excited expression and yelled loudly: "Don't you know? The sword in the stone has been pulled out! He is the adopted son of a noble knight's family. Today the bishop personally went to interrogate that guy of unknown blood. We are all rushing to see a good show!"

It seems that Artoria finally pulled out the sword in the stone.Through the narration of this enthusiastic citizen, Yan Bai learned about the whole incident.

It turned out that after arriving in the capital, Arturia went directly to the venue where Kai participated in the competition to watch her friend's match, but before the match, Kai found that she had forgotten to bring her sword, so she asked Al to go to the hotel to get the sword for her, and Artoria of course agreed.But when she arrived at the hotel, she found that the owner of the hotel had also gone to watch the competition. The door of the hotel was locked, and she had no time to go back to the venue to get the key. found no one around, so he pulled out the sword and gave it to Kai.Kai took the steel sword and saw the inscription on the sword: "He who draws the sword from the stone is the king of England." He immediately understood what a great thing his friend had done, and Artoria also understood What kind of sword did he pull out?

After the bishop learned of this, he decided to meet the little-known knight. Others, because of the unknown bloodline of Artoria, were not convinced of her as the new king and were preparing to meet the bishop to protest.

When Yan Bai arrived at the scene, the whole quarrel had become heated.Everyone in the meeting place was blushing. Those who knew Arturia—represented by Kay among them—supported Artoria becoming king, while those who did not know her strongly opposed it. The bishop sat on the table for a while It was hard to decide, whether to announce the succession of the blond boy as I said before, or to reject this non-noble knight as the king according to the opinions of most people.

Merlin's name has spread throughout the land of England since the time of King Uther. Everyone knows that the chief magician of the empire can call the wind and rain, build towering walls with one move of his hand, and make anyone who comes The invading enemy was routed.So when Yan Bai walked into the venue, the first person who recognized him immediately pointed at him and shouted, "It's Master Merlin!" The noisy quarrel stopped abruptly, and everyone turned their attention to the venue. of the entrance.There, they saw the world-famous great magician.

The bishop walked down from the top and warmly greeted him: "Master Merlin, you are finally here!"

Yan Bai's gaze swept over Artoria, she stood in the center of the venue, in front of those who opposed her, and listened silently to those people accusing her of unknown origin and suspicious bloodlines.

Obeying the bishop's invitation, Yan Bai walked up the highest stairs and announced to the crowd staring at him: "This blond knight should be the new king."

This sentence broke the silence. The leader of the opposition could no longer maintain his superficial composure, and blushed and shouted at Yanbai regardless of politeness: "But he is only Sir Eckert's adopted son! None of us know his identity." Family name, who are his parents!"

"His family name is Pendragon, and his parents are King Uther and his queen." Yan Bai used magic to amplify his voice to ensure that everyone present could hear clearly.He pointed to the blond boy and told everyone, "He is of the blood of the royal family, not an orphan of unknown origin."

The venue became quiet again, this time even quieter than the previous time, so quiet that everyone's breathing could be heard by each other.

The bishop was the first to recover from the explosive news, and coughed: "Since he is of royal blood, he is indeed qualified to succeed." His words were like a switch, and everyone reacted. They looked at each other for a long time before whispering. Agree with the bishop's point of view.Those who yelled the loudest before also shut their mouths, swallowed their disapproving words, and hid their unwillingness deep in their hearts.

Under the signal of Yan Bai's eyes, Arturia walked up to the high platform, holding the sword in the stone in her hand.It represents integrity, holiness, nobility and glory.When Arturia lifted it up, someone let out a low cry.Gradually, a word was called out: "King."

"It's the king."

"He is King of England."

"Our king."

Yan Bai pressed Artoria's shoulder, and whispered to her, "You can put it down."

Artoria lowered her arms as she said, turned her head to look at him with complicated eyes, and also lowered her voice: "Did you expect it? You expected that I would draw the sword in the stone."

Faced with her believing and disbelieving eyes, Yan Bai seemed to see himself standing in front of the elf king in the past, he couldn't help but smiled slightly, and said mysteriously: "I said a long time ago that you will become the ruler of the new kingdom."
