... "Magician?!"
Hearing these three words, Li Huazuo was ignorant, and Cirno seemed to have never heard of them, but Arturia's face changed drastically, because as far as she knew, there was only one magician, and that was Merlin!
Moreover, it was Merlin who made them come to the holy lake today, and it was Merlin who knew their itinerary, and it was Merlin who asked them to summon the spirit of the lake, but the three of them came to the holy lake alone, but they did not summon the spirit of the lake, but they encountered a swarm of poisonous bees that could not have appeared at first.
"Could it be... Merlin?" Arturia looked at Lin Luo blankly, with a rare trace of fear in her eyes. Although her expression had changed before, she never showed any fear, but now, the fear in her eyes is so obvious.
Merlin is very powerful. As a magician, he is the most powerful person Artoria knows, but the reason why Artoria is afraid is not because of Merlin's strength.
Before she was born, she was already favored by Merlin and chosen as the king of the next era. After she was born, she lived in the knight's house, and Merlin once looked for her and taught her personally. When she drew the sword from the stone, Merlin stood by her side and told her the responsibility and pain of being a king. After she truly became the king, Merlin has been actively assisting her by her side. When the sword in the stone was broken because it violated the spirit of chivalry in a duel, it was Merlin who guided her to get the sword of the king... It can be said that without Merlin, there would be no King Arthur today, not even Artoria. The reason she was able to stand here as a king was because of Merlin's help. Although the way of being a king is a path destined to be painful and unrewarding, she will never regret it. She has always felt honored to be able to save her country and people, and to dedicate herself to the country.
Similarly, she has always been grateful to the magician Merlin who has always helped and taught herself, who is like a teacher and a friend, but!
At this moment, the enemy who tried to kill him could be Merlin? It turned out to be Merlin? Why Merlin? How could it be Merlin?
Artoria couldn't believe it, but she couldn't believe it because of the clear evidence before her.
Seeing Artoria's distraught appearance, Lin Luo could understand her mood at the moment. After all, Arturia was not truly emotionless, she just thought that a qualified king was a person without emotion, so she hid her feelings. Now she finds out that Merlin, who is also a teacher and a friend, has actually betrayed her. The weight is obviously far greater than Morgan's betrayal, and it is normal for her to be unable to bear it for a while.
But did Merlin really betray Arturia?
Although it seems that this is indeed the case from various appearances, Lin Luo does not think that things will be so simple. Assuming that the person who dealt with them this time is really Merlin, it means that Merlin's strength has not declined in any way, and has reached a very strong point. If he really wants to kill Artoria, there is no need to be so troublesome... Lin Luo doesn't think that the four of them can stop a magician.
It was even said that Merlin didn't need any means at all, just killed him directly, and they had to finish the game.
So, what is the purpose of this trick, but let them be safe from danger? Or, the person who dealt with them was not Merlin at all? But who would it be if not Merlin?
Lin Luo couldn't understand. Thinking about these problems in his mind, he originally planned to tell Arturia, but then he thought about it. Now that the other party has suffered such a big blow, he must have suffered a lot of internal injuries. Maybe continuing this state can increase her girlish feelings... It seems that it is not a bad thing.
Therefore, Lin Luosuo's surname made Artoria continue to misunderstand, while he himself secretly thought about doubts.
"You can contact Merlin, right now. Contact him immediately." What Lin Luo didn't expect was that Artoria had already looked at him in a short while and said in a deep voice.
"Ah!" Lin Luo was taken aback, looked up, and found that the other party's expression had returned to normal, as if the previous panic had never appeared at all.
She recovered so quickly, it seems that the girlish feelings haven't increased much... Lin Luo couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but still asked tentatively, "Do you really want to contact him? If Merlin is really our enemy, then he will fall into a trap."
"It's okay." Arturia said lightly, with more confidence in her tone, "Besides, I don't believe that Merlin will betray me. Since I have doubts in my heart, I need to ask them face to face. Otherwise, if I doubt it alone, it will only create more misunderstandings."
Your Majesty, you are so kind!
Hearing this, Lin Luo gave a thumbs up secretly, only thinking that the girl in front of him is really a character who can be both cute and connotative, not comparable to those who can only be cute.
Don’t you see, countless goofy plots in the anime world come about because of misunderstandings. Don’t you see, the original smooth and fast plots are dragged on and on without limit because of those misunderstandings that are extremely brain-dead. Don’t you see, it is because of those mentally retarded misunderstandings that countless ignorant girls are moths flying into the flames, making people feel heartbroken!
Lin Luo felt that if those cute bastards with no connotation could have half the consciousness of my king... No, as long as there is one-tenth, it would be a blessing in the world!
Now that my king has already said such meaningful words, Lin Luo can't delay any longer, and just rubs the hearthstone to be invincible in the world... Oh, that's wrong, it's magic sound transmission by rubbing white paper.
I don't know if Merlin over there is also waiting for Lin Luo's communication. His voice came just after the connection, "It was a little later than I expected, but the communication came within the time limit, and it didn't disappoint me, Artoria."
"Merlin?!" Arturia frowned, but she didn't know what the other party meant. However, Lin Luo had a little understanding in his heart, knowing that the person the other party wanted to talk to now was not himself, so he didn't interrupt.
"Merlin, did you do the matter of the poisonous bee and the transfer of the holy lake?" After a moment of silence, Arturia finally asked this question, and only hoped that Merlin could answer no, but!
"Yes, I did all the dangers you encountered today." Merlin readily admitted.
Arturia shrank her pupils, but her heart was unexpectedly calm, and she just asked, "Why?"
"The reason is very simple. I just want to see if you have the qualifications." At this moment, Merlin's voice finally sounded like a wise man hiding behind the scenes, "Poisonous bees are not the most terrifying creatures, but it is not easy to destroy them all. If you do it, it means that your strength has passed. The disappearance of the holy lake is unpredictable, but you can judge that I did it, which is very good. You know that I am the one who wanted to kill you, but you still plan to confront me. Artoria, your realization also makes me happy."
"This is your test for me?" Artoria finally understood.
"Yes."
"But how do you know that the person who wants to contact you is me, or Hades made the decision, but I still doubt but dare not confront you?"
"No, I think people are very accurate. Since Hades knows that I did it, either he will contact me immediately, or he will never contact me, and he will not hesitate until now. Obviously, it must be your decision to contact me at this time, and he can probably guess that I have other intentions. The reason why I didn't tell you is probably to give you time to think about it."
Artoria looked up at Lin Luo, Lin Luo shrugged and smiled, but was somewhat embarrassed.
"What will happen if I don't contact you?" Artoria looked back and asked again.
"As I said just now, you contacted me within the time limit and didn't remember me as disappointed. Otherwise, that blank piece of paper would be useless."
"I see, so the last question...why do you want me to be tested?"
"It's not about you, it's about you!" Merlin corrected, "As for the reason, if you want to know, come to Holy Lake, the answer you want is right there."
"Where is the holy lake?"
"Then I can't tell you. You need to find it yourself. I believe that you who are connected with the holy lake will be able to find it."
Artoria froze for a moment, but couldn't ask any more questions.
Knowing that she had nothing to say, Lin Luo immediately said, "Merlin, I have a question for you."
"Oh, you have a question... Is there anything you want to say?" Merlin seemed to be surprised by Lin Luo's question at this time, and there was a hint of interest in his tone.
Lin Luo let out a breath, but said something that moved Merlin, "I want to know, who is the Merlin who talked to me before?"
"Huh?" Artoria was still in deep thought, but when she heard this, she suddenly raised her head and looked at Lin Luo in surprise.
There was silence on the white paper for a while, and after ten seconds, Merlin's emotional voice came, "It's really amazing, no matter the voice or tone, I have already made that person agree with me, I didn't expect you to be able to see through it."
"Of course I can see through it. The person I was talking to didn't look like a wise man at all, but you are different. If you are not a wise man, then no one will be a wise man." Lin Luo laughed.
"Well, this is indeed a flaw, but even if ordinary people see this flaw, most of them would not think that it is two different people. You are indeed very interesting."
"So……"
"I can't tell you." Before Lin Luo finished speaking, Merlin interrupted him, "Like Artoria, your answer is also in the holy lake. Of course, I can let you know that that person is the one you want to find. I think you should have been looking for it all the time."
