Chapter 8 King Arthur

Arthur stood on the bank of a meandering river. He was riding the most vigorous white horse in the kingdom. The long sword in his hand had just cut off the head of an enemy. He lifted the dull helmet on his head. , the golden hair flowed out, and he looked back, but he didn't see a follower.

The surrounding fog seems to be flowing, and the water is also steaming on the surface of the river. The horse planed its hooves and crushed a few green grasses. Arthur could feel the faint attraction coming from ahead, like Some kind of existence is calling him to the past.

Arthur frowned. He turned his head and thought for a while, tried to turn around, and retreated in the direction he came from behind, but after a while, he returned to the original place, and those shallow hoof prints seemed to be in the same place. Taunting him, saying that his attempt just now was just useless, and he could only move forward slowly.

The fog was getting thicker and thicker. He couldn't see the position three feet in front of him even if he looked as far as he could. He seemed to have left the original world and strayed into a mysterious realm. He stepped on the ground as if he was stepping on a cloud. There was silence around him, and he heard the sound of his own breathing in a trance.

The river has been flowing forward, it seems endless, going to the end of the world.Arthur felt that he had penetrated into a very distant place. He suspected that the time outside had reached midnight, but here, no matter how much time had passed, nothing seemed to have changed at all.

Finally, he seemed to have reached the end of everything. He passed through an invisible barrier and saw an incomparably wonderful world.The trees high into the sky stand straight on both sides, purple and blue hyacinths are blooming on both sides of the road, and the mist winds up vaguely, a wonderful little fairy with two pairs of wings and the size of a thumb They were flying and playing around; the river disappeared here, and he seemed to hear the sound of a waterfall coming from a distant place; the twilight shone from the woods, making this place even more dreamlike.

Even though Arthur had experienced so many unimaginable things recently, he was a little speechless after seeing such a scene.Those beautiful and pure goblins also noticed this stranger who seemed to have strayed into this place. Some of them flew over curiously, and some of them even wanted to pull Arthur's golden hair.

Arthur leaned back, avoiding their approach.The little goblin was stunned for a moment, as if she couldn't believe that someone would refuse their intimate contact, her whole face drooped in grievance.

"You're a little late." Suddenly, a deep female voice sounded in his ear, as if it was very close, Arthur had a feeling that it penetrated into his heart, he turned his head suddenly to look at Go, and see a fairy-like figure that should be in mythology standing under a nearby tree.

She has long curly brown hair that reaches to the bare feet, and the branches, leaves and flowers are intertwined to form a wreath on her head. The long skirt on her body is light and elegant, and her exposed shoulders and chest are as white as jade. She is naked. Feet, the body is full of water vapor, like a goddess who has just stepped out of the water town.

"You seem to be very afraid of her?" She raised her finger and let the wonderful goblin rest on her knuckles. She turned her head slightly, and looked at Arthur with a pair of deep eyes that were misty and divine. She slightly Raise the chin, showing a wild beauty.

"Ma'am," Arthur said vigilantly after he had dismounted from his horse, "here is..."

"This is a fairyland," the unknown woman walked gently towards Arthur. Arthur didn't move, nor refused. His behavior just now was just a subconscious vigilance, but if he continued to resist, it might cause serious problems. The dislike of the owner here. "If someone has explained it to you, you should know that this is the other world, and it is also the other world."

"Wonderland?" Obviously, Arthur had never heard of it.

The woman smiled, and she didn't seem surprised: "This is a worry-free town that is different from the world. People who live here can live happily ever after."

She led Arthur, and they set foot on the narrow path together.

"There is a sacred cauldron that continuously produces food here," she pointed with her right hand, and she saw the bustling people celebrating the banquet, precious delicacies were piled up on the rectangular wooden table, and the drunken people were holding wine urns The snoring, full-bodied eater had a contented smile on his face; "There is a sacred soil that brings people back to life," she waved again, Arthur felt a change, and saw a pair of crying parents holding them The child was buried in a wet soil, and after a short time, their child came out of the ground again, and the family was reunited again, and everyone hugged each other with joy and gratitude; fruit tree," she led him to a lush apple tree, pulled down a branch, plucked a bright red fruit from the tree, and brought it to Arthur.

"It's really flattering," Arthur thought about his words, trying not to annoy the mysterious lady, he put his hand on his chest, bent slightly and said, "I don't know what I can do for you?"

The woman narrowed her eyes, and she looked at the young man in front of her again. After a while, the corners of her lips curled up, and she said, "I have seen the virtue of humility in you, and you have not been seduced by treasures to give rise to greedy ambitions. Those who come out are pretty good."

Arthur was a little confused.But he did not rush to ask.

The woman didn't mean to explain either.Her eyes fell on the long silver sword hanging from Arthur's waist. She stretched out her hand, and the legendary sword fell into her hand. She closed her eyes, as if she was interacting with a certain dao spirit comminicate.Arthur lowered his head, he bit his lip, and didn't show any disrespect.

After a while, the woman suddenly opened her eyes wide. She took a deep breath, and exhaled white smoke from her nose. She looked at Arthur again, but this time it was completely different from before.A little curiosity flickered in her eyes: "Do you know why there is a legend in which of your countries that 'the one who draws the sword is the king'?"

Arthur was stunned. He didn't expect that the question that had been bothering him would be raised at this time, but this time, it was obvious that he might get the answer.

"This sword was asked of me by one of your kings, in order to save his precarious... status," the woman said meaningfully: "He promised me to return this sword to its owner before he died." In his hand, but he still missed the appointment in the end.”

The woman stroked the water-like blade with her fingers. She didn't seem very angry, because of the deception she had received: "And for some reason, I didn't go to get it back."

Arthur said calmly: "If it really belongs to you, then it is reasonable for you to come and take it back."

The woman suddenly laughed loudly: "You are so timid, can you really take on that country? In the future, the fate of that country will not be so good!"

Arthur gritted his teeth: "I will do my best!"

The woman shook her head, but she didn't say anything about it.She returned the sword to Arthur's hand: "You guessed it, this time I summoned you. I brought you here to make a new oath with you... It's the same as the previous time," she always spoke in such an unhurried voice, as if she had a very special magic power: "You want to send it back before you die, if you do, I can guide it You enter this fairyland to enjoy the pleasures of eternal life."

If he didn't do it... Arthur suddenly felt that a certain king before him might not end well after death.

"It's the way it should be," Arthur agreed.

The woman smiled, and she brought over the apple that Arthur hadn't received before: "This is the gift I invited you this time... Don't refuse, the king before you also accepted the same gift, just He ended up living up to my expectations."

Arthur took it over, hesitated for a moment, and under her smiling gaze, he took a tentative bite.

Something crowded out invisible, countless images and sounds jumped out of his mind, day after day of labor in the field, the lord's butler who walked by the side of the ridge with his head held high , the mysterious and kind face of "Mei", the respectful but questioning eyes in the castle... They seem to have their own souls, filling Arthur's mind uncontrollably... and then go on, go on, When I was a child, I fell down, was thrown stones by the neighborhood Sanka, and the faces of parents disgusted and disgusted... It was like reaching a certain critical point, everything suddenly stopped, and there was a special memory. In the nothingness, from the depths of his forgotten, chaotic mind was forcibly excavated...

It was something completely different... He heard a familiar voice talking to him with a smile.

"Qianqiu, little Qianqiu, what kind of person do you want to be in the future?" The girl's voice was clear and bright, and she smiled and pulled him to her side, stroking his head, because she had contact with him later There is a whole different kindness and tenderness in people.

"Oh, look, I'm confused," she sighed: "You don't understand anything yet. But it doesn't matter, I can teach you a little bit."

She opened a notebook and recited in a solemn tone: "I hope you will become such a person in the future - when you think it is necessary, you can explain your point of view clearly and rationally. When it comes to taking action, don't stop because of shyness and embarrassment; forgive the small setbacks in life, but if it hurts you, fight back with your fist; make friends who are sincere and upright , in return, you have to give your sincerity; don't worry too much about other people's feelings, except good people and friends; you have to keep moving forward, and always remember that this is a decision you made for yourself. "

"Finally," she covered the notebook: "Remember, don't force yourself."
