Chapter 104: True or False (Please Collect and Recommend)
"Fake? Impossible! I saw it with my own eyes! My mother told me personally, it can't be wrong!" Arthur, who had calmed down a little, immediately became excited when he heard this. →
But he didn't expect that as soon as he said this, someone was more excited than him.
"Igraine is still alive?!!!!" King Uther excitedly grabbed Arthur's shoulders and asked with a flushed face: "Tell me, Arthur, is Igraine really still alive?!!!"
Arthur was a little confused by King Uther.
It was Kai who pulled King Uther away.
"Uther, calm down, Igraine is dead, we all know this."
"But..." It must be said that King Uther really loves Queen Igraine. He knows the truth best. But even if there is a glimmer of hope, even if it is slim, he hopes it is true.
"No buts, Uther, Igraine died long after Arthur was born, this is the fact."
After that, Kai no longer talked about this topic with King Uther. People who are dead cannot be resurrected, let alone those who have been dead for more than ten years. He looked at Arthur: "Your mother, Igraine, died more than ten years ago. How could she tell you those words in person?"
Arthur swallowed his saliva and said hesitantly: "It was Morgause..."
Arthur told all the causes and consequences.
It turned out that after Arthur was defeated by Morgause that day, he agreed to a request from her. Before Morgause left Camelot, she told Arthur that her request was for him to accept her test in three days. But Morgause did not tell Arthur where to find her, nor did she tell him what the challenge was.
Then Arthur was imprisoned by King Uther, and Merlin helped him escape.
They left Camelot and walked aimlessly, but Arthur's horse could find the way by itself and took them all the way to a large lake. Across the lake was a huge waterfall, and there was no human habitation around.
Just when Arthur and Merlin thought they had found the wrong way, Arthur's horse walked directly into the lake uncontrollably, but the magical thing was that the horse did not sink, but walked on the water. (When I saw this scene, I thought the show would play like this, but in the end, the horses waded through the water... Poor crew, they couldn't even make a good special effect)
They passed through the waterfall, passed a huge cave under the waterfall and came to a very secret castle, where they met Morgause.
Then Morgause gave Arthur a test. She asked Arthur to put his head on the guillotine and she held the beheading axe. Arthur hesitated, but the honor of the knight made him fulfill his oath and put his head on the guillotine.
In the end, Morgause did not chop off Arthur's head, but told him that he passed the test. As a reward for the test, he will be rewarded-seeing his mother.
Losing his mother after birth made Arthur yearn for his mother since he was a child. With such a good thing, he certainly agreed.
They held a ceremony in a dream-like room, and Morgause summoned the ghost of Arthur's mother, Queen Igraine.
At least that's what Arthur thought.
Later, Igraine told Arthur that she died because King Uther wanted an heir, so he deceived Igraine. King Uther knew that using magic to create an heir would cost a price, but in order to continue his kingdom, King Uther still chose to sacrifice Igraine.
Igraine told Arthur that King Uther was the murderer who killed her. And in order to cover up this secret, he blamed it all on magic and began to strangle magic. Those who were killed by King Uther because of magic were all innocent, and they were killed because of King Uther's selfishness.
This dirty water is really good, because most of it is true, but the cause and effect are distorted. Someone once said that the best lie is always nine true and one false. It's right in front of you.
Did King Uther go to war against magic because he was afraid that others would know his crimes?
No, because this matter was not King Uther's own will at all. From the beginning, Igraine and Niwei acted on their own. Although King Uther also went along with it later, it would be too biased to say that all the responsibility lies with King Uther alone. At least King Uther never knew that the price of giving birth to Arthur was the sacrifice of Igraine.
This incident was just the fuse of the magic war, and the real reason that led King Uther to strangle magic was much more complicated than this. The simplest proof is that Camelot is just one of the Celtic countries, but how many countries participated in strangling magic?
All!
It's just that the degree of participation of each country is different, but it is true that all countries participated in this witch hunt before the Common Era.
So the question is, how did King Uther manipulate all countries to do this together?
The answer is that King Uther did not have this ability, and in fact those countries were all voluntary. King Uther was just the starter. The reason for this phenomenon is also very simple, that is, interests. Magic is not evil, this is certain, but people's hearts are never kind.
Anyone who is not so naive will think of what a person will do when he has power. Therefore, don't think that all wizards are good people. In fact, most wizards are not good people. They hold power, despise the nobles and the royal family, oppress the kingdom and the people, and make a lot of money. It can be said that they have caused public resentment.
No matter whether it was the common people, nobles or kings, they were all very dissatisfied with the wizards. It was not until King Uther started his army that everyone began to respond, which led to the magnificent magic war. Common people wanted to avoid the persecution of wizards, nobles wanted their own power, and kings coveted the wealth accumulated by wizards. In short, everyone killed wizards like precious animals under the same demands.
Otherwise, King Uther alone would be useless!
In short, the truth told by the so-called Igraine was completely nonsense.
"That's not Igraine!" Kai said very confidently.
King Uther sat on the throne, his eyes were dull and he didn't know what he was thinking, but he didn't refute Kai's judgment. He knew what happened back then best. How could Igraine say such a low-level word?
"But... I saw it with my own eyes..."
Arthur was about to refute, but was interrupted by Kai's wave of his hand.
"What you saw with your own eyes can't be fake? Was it your first day meeting the witch? How can you be sure that what you saw was Igraine and not an illusion created by the witch? Just because the witch spared your life? Then how can you be sure that her target wasn't Uther from the beginning?"
There are too many loopholes in this matter, and Kai doesn't know where to start complaining.
