Chapter 62: Ominous Signs (Please Collect and Recommend)

Just when Kai began to interrogate the assassin, our Arthur began to get restless again. →

Arthur had been locked up in the dungeon for almost half a month. During this half month, as the war progressed, whether Arthur was locked up or not became less and less significant. The war had come to this point, and Arthur's handling of the matter became a trivial matter.

This matter had already turned from Arthur killing people at the beginning to a national war between the two countries! Could it be that if King Uther kept Arthur locked up, King Odin would feel better and then stop?

In this case, King Uther was too lazy to pretend. He loved his own son, and King Uther believed that Arthur had been taught a lesson. In addition, the nobles had begun to plead for Arthur, so King Uther simply let him go. However, he was released and was limited to activities in Camelot. Although he loved his son, King Uther was also afraid that his unlucky son would cause trouble for him again.

It's a pity that Arthur was the kind of person who followed the rules?

Didn't King Uther forbid him to go to the front line? There shouldn't be any problem for him to go hunting in the forest, right? So he dragged Merlin, whose wounds had almost healed, to the forest to hunt.

King Uther originally didn't intend to let Arthur fool around, but seeing that Arthur had been locked up in the dungeon for half a month, he knew that he must be suffocated, and there was nothing wrong with relaxing. He was so busy that he really had no time to take care of him, so he simply sent a few mature and steady knights to follow him, just to keep him out of trouble.

But unfortunately, Arthur seemed to be born with the trait of getting into trouble, and he really got into trouble while hunting.

I don't know how it happened, but Arthur woke up a monster while hunting.

The monster woke up in the mist, and when it saw Arthur and his group, it began to attack them crazily. This monster is a huge monster with a snake head, a leopard belly, and a lion's buttocks, and a pair of claws similar to deer and hares. When it runs fast, its abdominal cavity will emit the roar of more than forty hounds.

Although it is huge, it is not clumsy, but extremely fast.

Arthur and his party of more than a dozen people, all skilled warriors, but only six of them returned to Camelot alive. This is because the monster did not continue to chase after killing enough people, otherwise Arthur himself was not sure whether he could come back alive.

This news is definitely a double whammy for Camelot. Originally, with the progress of the war, Camelot was already stretched to its limits, and now there are monsters causing trouble and killing people, which is definitely a bad year.

When King Uther heard the news, he looked older.

"According to your description, it is very likely to be a water-seeking beast!" For such an important event, King Uther naturally needed to brainstorm, so although it was night, King Uther still summoned the courtiers and Gaius to discuss. After listening to Arthur's narration, Gaius immediately thought of the origin of the monster.

"But that's just a legend." Arthur said a little surprised. The legend of the water-seeking beast is not uncommon in the Celtic countries, and it is circulated in many places. Legend has it that the water-seeking beast is a monster that lives in the swamp. It is very strong and huge, and it runs very fast. It likes to live in the water. It can cause floods or spread plagues, and people injured by it will be incurable and will die.

"According to the records in the Elder Scrolls, the appearance of the water-seeking beast must be accompanied by something ominous." Gaius ignored Arthur. He has always been dissatisfied with Arthur's previous behavior. If it weren't for his impulsiveness, the situation in Camelot would not have become so bad, so he just said everything he knew.

Unfortunately, Gaius's "ominous things happened" stimulated King Uther. He was most concerned about two things now. One was the war in front of him, and the second was Kay's safety. No matter which of these two things happened, he could not accept it, so he subconsciously denied Gaius's statement.

"Gaius! That's just superstition."

This is also King Uther's current state of mind. Believe it or not, if Gaius said that the monster was a good omen, he would dare to send people to worship the monster. He can't stand bad words now.

Arthur also disagreed with this statement. He had seen the monster. In his opinion, the monster was just a little scary, and he didn't see any special abilities. It was not as evil as Gaius said.

"Whatever it is, people are panicking now. People are afraid that it will break into the city."

"Then we have to kill it!" King Uther said firmly. Now that the situation has reached this point, he must make the strongest response, otherwise it will really cause social unrest, and then the soldiers on the front line will be unlucky.

"Arthur, gather the guards! Set off at dawn."

Arthur naturally had no objection. On the contrary, he was almost sick from being idle. He really wanted to do something to make up for the trouble he had caused before. So he immediately followed the order and left. Everyone else in the room also left at King Uther's signal, leaving only Gaius.

Gaius waited until everyone left before he said, "Please, Your Majesty. Don't underestimate it. This monster is a bad omen! I've seen it before! On the night Queen Igraine died!"

This sentence immediately touched King Uther's heart. He said angrily, "I told you not to mention that night again! I have conquered the ancient magic, and its warnings have no effect on me!"

After a while, King Uther calmed down a little before saying, "Arthur will kill the monster, and we will not be hurt by it anymore."

After saying that, he ignored Gaius and turned away.

On the other side, Kai's interrogation of the killer also yielded results.

When Kai got the report, he was shocked. Wow! He actually caught a big fish, the assassin king Merri, this title is scary. What's even more chilling is that this assassination was ordered by King Odin!

But when Kai got this confession, he was not panicked but surprised!

It's really a pillow when you are sleepy!

Now there is hope to calm the war!

Why?

Because King Odin broke the rules, the unspoken rules among the Celtic countries, it is strictly forbidden to assassinate the other party's royal family! Although this is an unspoken rule, its effectiveness is very strong. No kingdom can tolerate such a despicable method. Of course, whether it is despicable or not is nonsense. The key is if everyone does this, can the royal families of various countries still have fun? Therefore, all countries are very taboo about this.

Now that King Odin has taken the lead in doing this despicable thing, it gives Kai a reason. He can use this to negotiate with King Odin directly, either withdraw the troops to maintain peace, or just be straightforward and hurt each other!

Isn't it just hiring assassins? Who is afraid of whom? Do you, King Odin, have more money than Camelot? If you pay to assassinate me, I dare to pay double to you. Don't say that I don't follow the rules when the time comes, you are the one who broke the rules first!

Thinking of this, Kai immediately stood up and took the order himself!

"Call all knights! Let's go to King Odin to ask for an explanation!"
