Chapter 16: Gaius (Please Collect and Recommend)

There is a reason why Kai gave Arthur half a day off today. Morgana's wishes are of course part of the reason, but the bigger reason is that someone has returned to the palace.

That is Gaius, the royal pharmacist!

As the royal pharmacist, Gaius has a very high status. This old man with a little big eyes and a weird personality has served two generations of kings, King Uther and King Uther's father, with his superb medical skills and knowledge of medicine. At the same time, he is also King Uther's good friend. Perhaps only Gaius in the world knows King Uther best. Gaius knows all of King Uther's secrets, and King Uther is also happy to share these secrets with Gaius.

Because Gaius will not only not reveal these secrets to the outside world, but also give King Uther the most correct suggestions. He is a good friend and a top consultant. King Uther is used to discussing many things in the kingdom with Gaius.

Some time ago, a king of a neighboring country was seriously ill and came to King Uther, hoping that Gaius could help. Gaius's ability is well-known in all countries. King Uther was a king who loved his face. He certainly would not refuse the request of his neighbor. So he agreed decisively.

So Gaius went abroad for more than a month and missed Kai's return perfectly.

Although Gaius had a high status, he didn't prepare a big return banquet for him. It was just a month since they had met, so there was no need for such a grand ceremony. However, Morgana felt sorry for her brother and tried every means to let her brother rest, so she enthusiastically proposed to hold a welcome banquet for Gaius.

King Uther saw her like this, and he was willing to be generous to his old friend. So he agreed directly.

In this way, Arthur was liberated for a day.

At the banquet, Arthur drank fine wine and almost shed tears. Since Kai trained him, he said goodbye to alcohol. Kai didn't object to drinking, but he was a little dissatisfied with Arthur drinking. Nothing else, Arthur was too young.

Nineteen years old, in Kai's previous life, such a child would be either a senior high school student or a freshman, neither of which is the age for drinking. His body is still developing and is not suitable for drinking. Moreover, children at this age do not have as strong self-control as imagined, and are prone to develop some bad habits.

Kai actually knows that his thinking is very old-fashioned, but Kai is really not very good at educating children, so he simply copied his education to Arthur. Anyway, he doesn't think there is anything wrong with his education, so he has grown up well, and he looks good, at least he is a useful person to society. → So Kai thinks that it is a pity not to waste this successful experience.

In short, because of Kai's old-fashionedness, Arthur has not drunk alcohol for almost a month, and now he feels like he has met a relative when he touches alcohol. This also caused Arthur to be sincere and passionate when he was an auxiliary word for Gaius, which frightened Gaius. He never thought that he would be so liked by Arthur.

Arthur is not a good student, and he is quite incompatible with Gaius, a "scholar", so although the relationship between the two is good, it is definitely not warm. Morgana is more liked by Gaius.

The same is true for Kai. Gaius is Kai's enlightenment teacher, and Kai's education in his previous life also emphasized respecting teachers, so he respects Gaius very much, which also makes Gaius like Kai very much.

The two have not seen each other for ten years. Now they finally meet, so they naturally have to have a good chat. The two simply chatted while holding wine glasses in a corner of the banquet hall.

As mentioned earlier, Gaius is a weirdo, and he doesn't like this noisy scene. If he can choose, he prefers to find a quiet place to have a good chat with Kai. He is also very interested in Kai's experience of traveling abroad.

By the way, I forgot to say that Gaius is also a wizard. He may be the only wizard in Camelot who is accepted by King Uther. Kai once found a magic book from Gaius, a very old one. Even so, Gaius has not used spells for more than ten years, and the magic fluctuations on his body have weakened to a certain level. It is estimated that it will not be long before he will completely lose the favor of magic.

Even Kai was not very clear about what happened, but he just knew that it seemed to be related to his oath.

Everyone was very satisfied tonight. Although Gaius did not like this environment, he was still very grateful for everyone's kindness, not to mention Arthur. He now wanted to hug Gaius and cry so that he could stand up and stop his father and brother from destroying him. Morgana was also very satisfied, because she was the one who decided and organized this dinner. King Uther seemed to be deliberately cultivating her ability in this area and made her the temporary hostess of this palace.

As for why, it goes without saying. In short, although Morgana was a little shy, she still completed it very seriously.

Organizing a banquet is a skill that a noble woman must master.

The same is true for Merlin. Although he does not have to suffer as much as Arthur, as Arthur's attendant, his life is also not easy.

Now that Gaius is back, he can completely reduce the time he spends with Arthur. After all, he is Gaius's apprentice. It is reasonable to learn potions and medical knowledge from Gaius. As for Arthur? Oh, he'll be fine.

King Uther was also very happy. His adopted son came back with all his glory and wealth. His biological son was getting better day by day. His adopted daughter in name only, but his biological daughter in reality, could be handed over to a reliable man with peace of mind. Now he was learning the skills of a noblewoman. He would marry her happily and live a happy life as long as the time was right.

King Uther felt that soon, he would have no other extravagant wishes in his life.

But at this moment, danger began to gradually approach Camelot. The gears of fate had begun to rotate, and no one could escape the arrangement of fate.

…

In the morning, Kai woke up on time at 5:40. This was his habit in his previous life. Unless there were special circumstances, he would go to bed early and get up early. He would get up at 5:40, complete personal hygiene in 20 minutes, start training at 6 o'clock, and have breakfast at 8 o'clock. This was a habit brought back from his military career. When he was an officer, he was the first to get up every day. Later, when he became a policeman, he did not forget this habit, and when he came to this world, this habit did not change. It has been the same for decades.

But just when she was about to wake Arthur up, she found Morgana's maid Wenger running in the corridor in panic as if she was on fire.

Kai naturally wanted to stop her to find out what happened.

As a result, Gwen told him the bad news that Morgana was seriously ill and in a coma!
