Chapter 140: The King (Please Collect and Recommend)

Walking to the ancestral hall next to the palace, King Uther looked at the statues of the past kings and calmly thought about the gains and losses of his life for the first time. He began to recall every bit of his time as king, and he began to reflect, had he really done something wrong?

The matter is obviously related to the war twenty years ago. If it weren't for that war, would Nivi have released Seron at all costs for revenge?

King Uther, who thought this way, kept thinking about his original intention of doing all this, in order to avenge his wife.

Maybe it's a little wrong...

but! King Uther thought that he was indeed a little extreme on this point, but in other respects, he was not wrong! Shouldn't the wizard be defeated? !

Should! Their existence has caused the kingdom to lose its dignity, the people to lose their safety, and everyone to live in fear. In that era, everyone was just a pawn of the wizard. For their own selfish interests, they created countless inhumane tragedies. They always released their desires as they pleased, never caring about the suffering of the people.

The wizard must be defeated!

You are right!

King Uther is a stubborn king. Even if destruction is right in front of him, he will never admit his mistakes, never!

"Everyone who knows how to use a sword has gone to get weapons." At this time, Leon, King Uther's most trusted knight, walked in from outside, holding King Uther's armor in his hand. King Uther was injured before and his armor was taken off. Now that the king is about to step onto the battlefield again, Leon must put on the armor for the king. But when Leon came in, he found King Uther motionless looking at the statues of the previous kings. →

"Your Majesty?" Leon asked respectfully.

I wonder if Leon really woke up King Uther. King Uther looked at the statue of his ancestor and asked leisurely: "Who am I? Leon."

Leon was stunned for a moment, and then said: "You are our king, Your Majesty."

"Then do you trust your king?" King Uther continued to ask.

Leon didn't understand why King Uther asked so, but he still answered honestly according to his own habits.

While putting on the breastplate for King Uther, he said: "Whether you live or die, my lord, your soldiers and knights will follow you and fight until the end."

King Uther didn't know what he was thinking, he just mechanically opened his arms and asked Leon to put on the breastplate.

"Regardless of life or death..."

King Uther said somewhat self-deprecatingly.

"Where are the sturdy soldiers and knights of Camelot? Where is the horn of victory?" King Uther never thought that one day, his kingdom would be so embarrassed, and the outer city was occupied by the barbaric Senno, whom he had always despised. The Germans broke through, and his magnificent royal city was ravaged by those filthy monsters, and he could only watch helplessly.

"They are like raindrops falling on the mountains, or the breeze blowing across the grassland. They have long since disappeared. The glory of the past is like the sun setting in the west, disappearing safely behind the mountains, shrouded in darkness... How could it become like this? Lyon... Tell me why it's like this..."

Leon did not answer because he didn't know how to answer. He was not known for his intelligence and wisdom. He was a knight and just a knight. →He doesn’t know what the problem is, and he doesn’t even think there is a problem. Under the leadership of King Uther, Camelot's national power became stronger and stronger year by year, and their kingdom was the most peaceful and prosperous among the nations. Although King Uther is a bit neurotic when it comes to dealing with wizards, the people's lives have always been okay, and even getting better and better.

Under this situation, Leon couldn't figure out why his kingdom was in such a situation.

King Uther didn't expect to get the answer from Leon. Maybe Kai could answer his question. He was always so calm and wise...wait...Kai...

Thinking of Kai, King Uther's mood became even more complicated. He never knew Kai had those abilities, and he didn't know why Kai would hide his power and come back to him. To say that Kai had ill intentions towards him and Arthur?

King Uther didn't believe it. Although this kind of judgment based entirely on emotion seemed to the king to be the stupidest approach, King Uther still didn't believe that Kai would hurt him and Arthur.

He always believed that Kai was a good boy. He and the queen had raised Kai, and he knew very well what kind of character this child had. And Kai has proven himself time and time again. If he really wanted to do something, he would have done it long ago. He didn't even need to do anything, he just had to stand by and get everything, but how did he do it?

He always goes out of his way to help Arthur and him again and again. King Uther really couldn't think of any ill intentions from Kai.

"Why do you have to learn those things... Kai, I shouldn't have let you leave me back then!" King Uther's true feelings about Kai having magic were not fear or fear, but anger and worry.

The anger was not directed at Kai, he was directed at himself. He felt that Kai's "bad study" was due to himself. If Kai hadn't run away back then, he wouldn't have studied these messy things outside!

Although King Uther doesn't know what it means to be a son who doesn't teach his father, the truth is the same. If he had kept Kai by his side back then, there wouldn't have been so many messy things!

As for worry, he was worried about how to deal with the aftermath. Of course, it's still a little early to think about so much now. If he burps and the game of Camelot is over, there will naturally be nothing left to think about.

But what if they survive this disaster?

So how to solve this matter?

The fact that Kai knows magic cannot be hidden, so many people see it. For Kai's future, he must find a way to minimize the impact of this incident.

What? You said King Uther would turn against Kai because of this?

Don't be funny!

King Uther is a king, not an idiot! (Although he is the most idiotic in the play)

He opposes magic for two reasons. One is that magic harms his interests as a king, and the second is that magic killed his wife!

See, the focus is not on magic, but on the harm to his interests and the death of his wife. The reason why he pursued magic relentlessly afterwards is also very simple, because the hatred between him and magic users such as wizards is too deep, basically a life-and-death struggle.

He had to do this.

But the question is, does Kai have these factors?

The answer is no.

Did Kai harm his interests? No.

Did Kai kill his relatives? No, Kai himself is his relative.

Does Kai have a grudge against him? That's even more nonsense.

So, why did he turn against Kai? Some people said, if that's the case, then why does Merlin still hide? The above three points are similar to Kai, except that he is not King Uther's relative.

That's because Merlin lacks the most important point, that is, King Uther doesn't trust Merlin at all! In other words, why should King Uther trust Merlin? Why should he bet his life that Merlin will not harm him? Isn't it safer and more cost-effective to kill Merlin?

The most important thing is trust. For example, Gaius also knows magic, just because King Uther believes that Gaius will not betray him, so Gaius lives well.

In short, although Kai makes King Uther's position very embarrassing, King Uther himself doesn't care much. He cares about the impact after this incident. Just like Merlin, other people trust Merlin without King Uther.

King Uther trusts Kai, but that doesn't mean others trust Kai. The war that year derived too much hatred. Not only King Uther was wary of revenge from those who were related to magic, but other kings and nobles were the same.

If they knew that Kai knew magic, things would be bad.

King Uther felt a headache when he thought of this. But he immediately put the matter aside. Now his life and death were uncertain, so how could he have time to think about these things?
