Chapter 412 King Arthur
Tall and handsome, and he has a mature and warm temperament all over his body. If everyone has imaginations about the legendary King Arthur, then the perfect person in front of him has turned these imaginations into reality - this is how King Arthur should look. .
Compared to Ethan who recognized his former partner who had become more mature at a glance, Arthur took some time to recognize that the person in front of him was Ethan.
He is different from Merlin. Merlin can judge who is in front of him from multiple levels through magical means. Arthur still relies on his own eyes and memories of more than ten years ago to judge.
"Ethan?"
After looking at it for a while, he was finally certain that the young man in front of him, who was already tall and strong, and had become more handsome, was his partner back then.
"You've changed so much."
"I was very excited when I took the risk with you, a handsome guy, so I tried my best over the years to finally make myself handsome."
Ethan is older than Asher. Although it's been more than ten years since Arthur's world has passed, but Ethan has also tossed hard in many worlds, and many years have passed inside and outside, and the actual age of the two sides has not reversed because of this.
But after Ethan received reinforcement, he stabilized his appearance at the golden age of around twenty-four or five, while Arthur is now in his early thirties.
"Have you tried the magic method you said at the beginning?"
Arthur knew what Ethan was talking about. Even after so many years, the adventure time that wasn't long at the beginning was still deeply imprinted in his mind.
"I have been practicing, but unfortunately there is less and less opportunity to use these abilities."
When speaking, Arthur's left hand stroked a few times on the hilt of the sword at his waist, and there was some sigh, some depression, and a bit of pride in his tone.
The combat skills that he has practiced hard are not useful, which proves that his kingdom is developing very well, and there is no occasion for him to take action personally, so there is some pride in his words; Chances are, how much will still feel a little depressed.
Ethan is not concerned about this. Arthur has been with himself for a while, and what he has learned and seen, even if he can only use a small part of it in his own country, is enough for him to build a powerful kingdom. Well, this kind of thing is not surprising.
What he cared about was the sword on Arthur's waist.
"Is this the Sword in the Stone (Kaliba) or the Sword in the Lake (Ex Kaliba)?"
Arthur was stunned for a moment, looked down at the long sword on his waist, and immediately understood why Ethan asked this question.
To know how he did it, just find out which sword he was wearing.
"This is the sword in the stone."
In the legend of King Arthur, these two swords occupy an important position.
Among them, the sword in the stone was the one that Arthur pulled out of the stone and was crowned king. This sword was later broken when Arthur was dueling with someone, and then Arthur got the sword in the lake under the guidance of Merlin.
Ethan would ask this to determine if Arthur had changed his future.
Knowing that this gorgeous saber was a sword in a stone, Ethan knew that Arthur's future had been completely changed.
Because the sword in the stone represents the identity of the king, and there are complicated and delicate patterns on the appearance, you should know that this is not a weapon that is really used to kill people at all, but a symbol of power and status. The fracture of the sword in the stone It also seems to herald the end of King Arthur.
The original King Arthur didn't realize this. Even when Merlin later got the sword in the lake, Merlin even reminded the king that the scabbard was more important than the sword. As a result, the original King Arthur didn't listen to it, and still pressed on his own. The idea of doing things, and finally embarked on the end of the road.
But the Arthur in front of him has already understood this truth, especially after knowing that there are many strong people in the world, even without Merlin's reminder, he still made the right choice - to do his best to create a strong Kingdom, rather than clinging to the level of personal force.
Even if he didn't have the opportunity to show his increasingly powerful fighting skills, he didn't casually pull out the sword from his waist and let it lie quietly in the scabbard, only to show the majesty of the king when necessary.
The two had a simple exchange of words and didn't say much, but both of them knew each other's general situation from a few words. It seemed that the tacit understanding of the year was still preserved, which made both of them secretly relieved.
Arthur is worried that after so many years, Ethan has changed so much, will he completely become a stranger? In that case, it would be a huge impact on his good memories, and he didn't want the reunion after a long time to only exchange for such a result.
Ethan is worried that Arthur, who has become a king, has undergone tremendous changes in his character and way of doing things. He doesn't know if he can accept this change. After all, being in a high position for too long can change a person from the inside out.
Fortunately, although the appearances of the two sides have changed a lot, they have not changed much in their bones, and the two quickly regained their original feelings.
At this time, Arthur was also in the mood to look at the other people behind Ethan. He remembered that Ethan had said countless times that he needed to find a few more companions to board the boat. But compared to more than ten years, these numbers are not many. It seems that Ethan is very strict with his partners.
He was curious as to why Ethan valued these people in front of him, but unfortunately he didn't know them at all, so he just swept around. Only Diana made him a little stunned, because the other party took the initiative to greet him.
"Long time no see, Arthur."
If Ethan's appearance and physique have changed a lot, but he can still be seen vaguely, in Arthur's eyes, Diana has changed too much - he didn't recognize it at all. She was a little girl who had learned basic swordsmanship with herself.
"Diana?"
Fortunately, he didn't have many acquaintances in other worlds, and he only spent the longest time with Diana after Ethan, so his first reaction was Diana.
Seeing Diana nodding, Arthur sighed with emotion: "You have changed so much."
Diana's change is not just a big problem, it's almost like a different person.
Only Ethan who was present knew the real reason—it was the change of people, more than once. After all, three actors were used to play Diana at different ages, but he would not say this.
Fortunately, there is another acceptable statement, that is, the optimization and transformation of the body by divine power, which made Diana undergo such an earth-shaking change.
"Almost forgot that you are a demigod."
Then Arthur greeted Ethan's other partners separately. Facing the famous King Arthur, Evelyn and the others seemed a little nervous and excited, while the rest were calm.
No matter what the other party's reaction was, Arthur always maintained a perfect smile and a cordial attitude, and he could not see that he was a ruler of a high-ranking kingdom.
Get along more like a warm neighbor, and his enthusiasm will never make you feel uncomfortable.
In short, Arthur left a perfect first impression on everyone, such as Evelyn and Jonathan, who quickly dropped their guard against the legendary king. When Arthur asked about Ethan's experience over the years At times, Jonathan will even take the initiative to help answer some questions.
After a hearty lunch, Arthur also had a rough understanding of Ethan's experience over the years, and also knew that Ethan had evolved his life form to the level of a demigod - not only a great increase in strength, The appearance has been optimized, and at the same time, he has stably maintained his peak state at the age of twenty-four.
"Are you interested in becoming immortal as well?"
"Of course I'm interested." Arthur didn't think about concealing his true thoughts at all, and he answered very simply: "But not now."
"Oh?"
Although Arthur is still at his peak, after a person's physical function reaches a peak around the age of twenty-eight, it will inevitably begin to decline.
Even if Arthur can make this sliding speed become very, very, very slow through diligent exercise and the maintenance of magic power, but sliding is sliding, and no matter how slow it is, it is sliding.
The decline in physical fitness has an all-round impact, and he doesn't believe that this king, who has to work hard every day, can't feel this change.
He thought that Arthur would be happy to accept the reinforcement, but he didn't expect Arthur to express that he was not in a hurry.
"I won't accept this reinforcement until everything in the kingdom is on track and a suitable successor is found."
Ethan understood that Arthur was now managing his kingdom like an ordinary king. If the king suddenly became immortal, it would probably cause unnecessary trouble.
It doesn't matter if he waits until he gives the king's place to the heir.
"At that time, I can go to various worlds with you to take risks and see all kinds of novel things."
When Arthur said this, he could see that he really missed the life at that time, even if Ethan only had an ordinary boat at that time, the living environment was definitely not very good, far inferior to him. Now it is comfortable to eat and drink in the palace.
"You'll always have your place on my ship if you wish."
Arthur nodded, then shook his head again: "I think too far, maybe it will be decades later, it is unlikely that I will hand over the throne in a short time."
Speaking of his own kingdom, Arthur suddenly remembered something: "I have already ordered the following to arrange the accommodation before I came out. Now I will go back and just make arrangements to make it just in time for dinner."
After receiving the notification from Merlin, he specially sent it through the magic circle in the palace and Merlin's residence. Before coming out, he specially prepared the residence and a sumptuous dinner party, all of which were to entertain Ethan and his partners.
