Chapter 6: Gift (Please Collect)
"Are those frost giants real?"
After telling the story for almost an hour, Kai finally stopped and prepared to drink something to moisten his throat. →Kai had just stopped, and Morgana, who had been beside Kai, hurriedly handed the poured wine glass to Kai. But while Kai was drinking, Arthur immediately seized this opportunity to ask questions.
"Arthur! Kai just came back and needs to rest. You can't always pester him to ask questions!" But before Kai could speak, Morgana on the side was unhappy. She waited for Kai to come back, but before she could say a few words to her, these guys pulled Kai to ask questions, leaving her no time at all.
Although Arthur didn't want to be preached by his sister Princess Morgana, Morgana's words made sense after all. Originally, this was a welcome banquet prepared for Kai, but these people actually pulled Kai to tell stories, which was really rude.
Kai, on the other hand, didn't care much about it. He hadn't seen Arthur and the others for ten years, and he wanted to talk to them: "It's okay, I'm not tired." After saying that, he patted Morgana's hand, indicating that it was okay.
Morgana blushed a little because of Soram's action, while Arthur on the side didn't pay any attention to Morgana's changes at all. He only knew that Kai said it was okay, so he could continue to ask... The so-called straight man probably refers to this kind of idiot with no emotional intelligence.
Kai saw Arthur's gushing desire for knowledge, and didn't say anything nonsense, but directly ordered the servants on the side to bring up his things. This time, Kai prepared a lot of gifts. →
Soon, a group of servants came in with small packages, and even a few servants pushed in a few small cars.
Seeing the servants bring in so many things, the people who were drinking during Kai's break were attracted again. Many people know that Kai brought back a lot of things, but no one knows what those things are. People are curious. Knowing that Kai had traveled around the world, they were naturally curious about what strange things Kai brought back.
Kai asked two servants to bring up a huge square package and then asked Arthur to open it. Arthur immediately rushed over impatiently, and Merlin, who had always been beside Arthur, was naturally not far behind.
In the past, Merlin thought that the world of magic was already bizarre enough, and he was a little proud of it, but today he realized how vast the outside world is. What he knew was simply not worth mentioning.
So now he especially wants to know about the outside world. After all, if it is according to his fate, he may never leave Camelot in this life.
With Merlin, Arthur naturally does not need to take the cloth outside the package himself. → And Merlin is also happy to serve.
Merlin untied the package in a few seconds, only to find that there was a square iron box inside the package, which was extremely exquisitely made and was not an ordinary item at first glance. Merlin looked at Arthur, who nodded, so Merlin opened the lid of the iron box with force.
But when he saw what was inside the iron box, poor Merlin was so scared that he dropped the lid of the iron box.
"Ah!!!!" Merlin's scream was absolutely comparable to that of a soprano, with excessive penetration, which scared others.
Arthur was much calmer. Although he was also scared and pale, he retreated repeatedly, but he didn't make any embarrassing screams.
"What is this?" Arthur pointed to the inside of the iron box with a pale face and asked in a trembling voice.
Others were also aroused by the performance of these two people, especially King Uther. He was a little angry at Arthur's cowardice. He had always placed high hopes on Arthur and hoped that he could become a better king than himself, but Arthur's performance was definitely not excellent, and he was not even qualified.
So King Uther stood up first and walked to the side of the box, intending to see what was inside. As a result, he was also shocked when he approached and took a look, but he was much better than Arthur. At least on the surface, the king could keep a normal face.
But his next words still revealed his mood: "What the hell is this?"
It's rare that King Uther used swear words.
Kai was very happy to see their expressions, because when he first saw this thing, he was not much better, and he was laughed at by those Asgardian strongmen for a long time.
"This is a frost giant." Kai said with a smile, and then without waiting for others to ask questions, he continued: "Yes, it's the frost giant I'm talking about. The head inside is the last generation of frost giant king Grenier. He was killed by me and Asgard King Buri together." It turned out that there was a hideous huge human head lying quietly in the iron box. The skin of the human head was blue-gray, and there were many ice prisms on it, which looked like a lot of ice horns on the giant's head. At the same time, white cold air continued to emerge from the iron box, and the cold air instantly dropped the temperature in the hall a lot.
Talking about the origin of this head, Kai also showed a nostalgic expression. The last time Kai returned to Asgard in Northern Europe, Bree was not in Asgard. It seemed that he had gone to another country. Kai did not ask in detail. Anyway, Bree had not come back for several months, so Kai did not wait any longer.
"It was a fierce battle. We fought against the frost giants led by Gnir on the walls of Asgard for ten days and ten nights, and finally defeated them. Then, I and Bli led people to chase Gnir all the way. After another ten days and ten nights, we finally caught up with Gnir in the frost giant kingdom of Jotunheim, and finally killed this monster on the ice field of Jotunheim. In that battle, I was almost killed. If it weren't for Bauer, the son of Bli, who tried his best to carry Bli and me back from Jotunheim, we might have stayed in that world of ice and snow."
Although Kai did not describe the battle in detail, everyone could imagine the fierce battle at that time.
It was also because of Kai's explanation that the others put away their initial fear. After all, no matter how terrible this head was, it was just a dead thing. Fear comes from the unknown. Now that the origin is known, the fear will naturally be reduced a lot.
Only Merlin is different from others. His fear is more profound. Because he could feel strong magic fluctuations from the head, which meant that the owner of the head must have had extremely strong magic abilities. It was the first time that Merlin saw such a powerful magical creature, and such a powerful magical creature was killed by Kai... He felt that if he was exposed, he would die more easily.
When King Uther heard the origin of the head, he was relieved.
"Well done, Kai. But why do you want to keep this head?" The Celts are one of the most civilized nations in the world today. They don't have the habit of keeping the heads of their enemies. That is a tradition of barbarians.
Hearing King Uther's question, Kai grinned and said, "Cool down!"
