Chapter 5: Banquet (Please Collect)

King Uther did not reject this unreasonable request as usual. He was thinking about what the consequences would be if he agreed to Kai. Facing this child who had been away from home for ten years, King Uther did not want to reject the child's first request after returning. But King Uther is a king, and as a king, he often cannot be emotional.

The magic ban is a decree that King Uther has insisted on for more than ten years, and it is also the most persistent measure in his life. He can't and doesn't want to break this ban. It's easy to agree to Kai's request, but what about after that?

Does the griffin belong to the category of magic ban? There is no doubt that it is! The griffin is an unnatural creature, it is a magical creature! Owning and taming a griffin is undoubtedly a violation of the ban! If King Uther so blatantly shields Kai from adopting this griffin, it is equivalent to King Uther breaking his own ban with his own hands. If this really happens, then the majesty of the law will become useless and finally become a dead letter!

This is not what King Uther wants. He knows very well the horror of magic. He will never allow the disaster caused by magic to befall his kingdom again, so even if it is the request of his favorite child, King Uther can only refuse.

"No! The law is law! Kay (Kai)!" King Uther emphasized the last word. He knew that his Kay was a sensible child and he could understand his responsibility as a king. → Just as he said, The law is law. If the law can be trampled on at will, it would be better not to establish this law. After all, if the ruler openly violates the law when he has the law, then the foundation of the king's rule will be weakened.

Law is order, and order is the foundation of rule! As a qualified king, King Uther understands this very well.

Kay looked at King Uther's firm eyes and finally had to compromise. There is no way. King Uther is Kay's family. Kay cherishes his family very much in this life and the last life. He can't really go against his family for a beast.

"Okay, but he is my prey, I must kill him!" Kai said solemnly. After all, this is a lot of 'experience points', Kai can't waste it.

Hearing Kai compromise, King Uther felt sincerely relieved. Kai is still the same Kai, always so sensible. So King Uther certainly would not refuse such a reasonable request, although he himself felt it was unnecessary. The honor of defeating the griffin is already Kai's, no one can deny this. As for the matter of finishing off the knife, it is really not worth mentioning, and it is still bloody.

But since Kai insisted, King Uther did not stop him.

Soon, Kai used the battle axe in his hand to chop off the griffin's head one by one, like cutting wood. During this period, the griffin woke up once, but was immediately hit on the forehead by Kai's battle axe and fainted again, and it never woke up again.

After almost ten minutes of hard work, the griffin's head was finally chopped off. Although the incision was very bad and affected the beauty a bit, no one cared about it now, and everyone cheered for the warrior who killed the griffin.

...

At night, a grand banquet was being held in the banquet hall of the palace.

However, unlike the usual welcome banquet, there was no cheerful music, no rude persuasion from the knights, and even no one was at the long table farther away. But the atmosphere in the banquet hall was great, not deserted at all. All the people gathered at the long table close to the throne, and even the servants serving in the banquet hall unconsciously left their jobs and tried their best to get together in that circle.

"...It was a blizzard that day. In broad daylight, you couldn't see anything five meters away outside. It was so cold that it would freeze your nose off. Those evil frost giants also took this opportunity to attack the city of Asgard. Each of those terrible guys was 13 feet tall and covered with thick ice armor. Ordinary weapons couldn't hurt them at all."

Among all the people, Sir Kay was telling his adventures vividly. In this era, the area of ​​human activity was very small, just take the Celtic countries on the British Isles as an example. The Celts mainly lived in the future southern England near Ireland, and the areas further north were all primeval forests. There are countless ferocious beasts and some supernatural creatures in these primeval forests that threaten people's safety at all times, so the world in people's eyes at this time will never exceed fifty kilometers, or even smaller.

At least in this hall, only a few knights have a little more knowledge, but it is limited to the Celtic countries. They know nothing about places farther away. Kai is different. He spent ten years starting from Camelot and heading east. He first arrived in Norway, which is not the home of the Vikings yet. There lives a group of highly civilized people who call themselves Asgardians.

Kai lived in Asgard for almost a year, and then crossed the European plains, which were still a primitive and uncivilized area, and came to the warm Mediterranean region. Here, Kai encountered a civilization called Olympus and saw the civilized world under the leadership of Olympus. There he first learned that there was really a country called Atlantis in the ancient Mediterranean region.

You should know that in Kai's impression, Atlantis has always been a legend, and it is even a legend that has been proven to be fabricated. In the legend, Atlantis is in the Atlantic Ocean, not in the Mediterranean Sea...

In short, after Kai traveled in the ancient Greek area, he continued to move eastward. After that, he encountered a new civilization in the area called the Mesopotamian Basin in later generations. They called themselves Sumerians.

Later, he and these Messurians encountered an invasion. A group of people from the western desert civilization came to the east under the leadership of a superhuman who called himself "Sun God-Ra" and started a protracted war with the Messurians. This war alone lasted for three years. In the end, both sides chose to conclude a treaty after suffering heavy casualties. They agreed that one of them was the ruler of the West and the other was the ruler of the East.

After experiencing this prehistoric battle for hegemony, Kai originally planned to continue eastward to return to the eastern land that he had been dreaming about, but reality gave Kai a few big mouths. The road to the east was too dangerous. He and his friend in Mesul had narrowly escaped death several times, but still could not find the way home, and even lost a close friend.

Heartbroken, Kai had no choice but to retreat.
