Chapter 67: Troubled Times (Please Collect and Recommend)
"No!" When Merlin said Blessing Island, Gaius interrupted Merlin with great excitement.
Merlin looked at Gaius blankly, and then asked hesitantly: "Do you know about the Blessing Island?"
Kai also looked at Gaius. Gaius looked at Merlin and then at Kai, a little unsure of how to speak. Seeing this scene, Kai immediately said decisively: "Gaius! I need you to tell me everything you know."
The attitude is very firm.

Gaius sighed and made a last ditch effort. "It is said that it is the birthplace of ancient magic and the source of its power. It is too dangerous there!"
"But that's our only chance, Gaius. I can't watch my brother die like this. I have to find a cure for him. Tell me everything, Gaius. I don't want to repeat Arthur's importance. sex."
Kai didn't pay attention to Gaius's persuasion, but said very calmly.
"Then what are you going to do? Save Arthur? The water-seeking beast has found Arthur, which means that ancient magic has decided his fate."
"Then you mean to let me watch Arthur die on the bed like this? And then pretend as if nothing happened? You know me, Gaius, I can't do that!" Kai shook his head irritably, he didn't want to hear these things , as a young man of New China who grew up under the red flag, Kai himself sneered at the so-called fate. Naturally, it is impossible to accept this so-called fate. Besides, if there was such a thing as fate, Arthur would not die. He was destined to be the man who became the King of Great Britain.
"Besides, if there is such a fate, I will also convince those sons of bitches to change their minds!" Kai emphasized the word "persuade". It was obvious that his persuasion was not based on words.
"..." Gaius felt like a scholar meeting a soldier. It didn't make sense, but he could understand Kai's persistence. After all, he didn't want to see Arthur die. He was just doing his job. "But that's not easy. Ancient magic has the ability to reverse life and death, but that requires paying a price... If you live, you must die... Kai, I beg you..."
Based on what Gaius knew about Kai, if it really came to this point, Kai would very likely sacrifice himself to save Arthur. Kai is a person who values responsibilities and feelings more than life. Otherwise, he would not insist on saving Arthur when it is clear that he can legitimately inherit the kingdom by doing nothing. You know, even if he does nothing, no one can blame him.
If Arthur dies, the biggest beneficiary will be him. Even the staunchest royalist cannot blame Kai for this. After all, if it really comes to that point, Kai inheriting the throne of Camelot is the best solution.
Now Camelot is suffering from internal and external troubles. If there is no strong person to suppress it, it may overturn at any time. Even if it is for their own interests, those nobles will pinch their noses and endure Kai to become the king.
But Kai was not moved, and instead kept trying to save Arthur.
This era does not have the twists and turns of those traitorous heroes in ancient China. It is what it is, simple and cute. There is no doubt that Kai is just acting on occasion, and is both a traitor and a loyal person.
Fortunately, Kai really has no interest in the position of king. After all, he is from the Great Celestial Empire. Camelot is only the size of a county-level city. Being a king is equivalent to being a county magistrate. Does this king have a pawn?
"Needless to say, I have already decided, you just need to tell me where the Blessing Island is!"
Kai once again refused Gaius's persuasion. Faced with Kai's decision, Gaius could only shut up. He was a man even more stubborn than King Uther. Once he made a decision, he would never regret it. possible. ,
Thinking of this, Gaius could only sigh and feel troubled by his own experience. The royal family he served basically had this kind of virtue. Whether it was King Uther, Arthur or even Morgana, both of them were in the same relationship with Kay. Same, stubborn as hell.
Gaius was silent for almost three minutes, finally regaining his composure, but just when he was about to talk in detail about the situation on Blessing Island, a bell suddenly rang outside. The bell was not loud, but extremely rapid.
This is the warning bell inside the palace. When the bell rings, it means that there are suspicious elements inside the palace!
"You protect Arthur and don't leave here. I'll go to His Majesty!"
Upon hearing the sound of the bell, Kai immediately picked up his weapon and rushed out. He was afraid that someone would do harm to Arthur and Uther. Arthur's place was fine. Anyway, there were not only guards guarding the door, but also Merlin inside as insurance, so it wouldn't be too dangerous. But it's different with King Uther. Only Morgana is guarding him.
After Merlin and Gaius looked at each other for a few seconds, the two men immediately took action. They first asked the guards at the door to guard them, then locked the door and took out their staffs and swords to be ready at any time.
…
Kai soon arrived at King Uther's room and found that although the place was heavily guarded, there was nothing unusual. Apparently the intruder who had startled the bell had not been here. When the knights and guards at the door saw Kai, they immediately saluted and then moved out of the way to allow Kai to enter the king's chamber.
But Kai did not go in immediately, but asked: "What happened? Why did the alarm bell sound?"
A knight stood up and answered honestly: "We don't know either. We just came to protect the king after hearing the alarm bell. As for what happened in the palace, we haven't had time to find out."
"Then send someone to find out immediately!"
After speaking, Kai entered the king's chamber.
Everything was normal in the room. King Uther had just finished drinking the medicine and had fallen asleep. The movement outside did not wake him up. It seemed that this man was really tired recently.
Seeing Kai come in, Morgana, who had been guarding King Uther, immediately rushed over and hugged Kai.
A strong man like King Uther is exhausted by the recent series of events, let alone Morgana. She had more worries and fears than anyone else, but she was afraid of burdening others, so she carried everything by herself.
Now that Kai is finally back, she has someone to rely on.
Holding Morgana's trembling body, Kai felt sour in his heart. When it comes to Kai's feelings for Morgana, it's actually not much love, but more of a family affection. After all, Kai is mentally old enough to be Morgana's grandfather. It's really hard for him to let Kai love her to death like a young man. For Morgana, Kai cherishes her more. This little girl's life experience is really miserable. She is very thoughtful and usually loves to be strong.
So even though she was arguing about this and that day by day, she actually felt uncomfortable.
"Okay, okay, don't be afraid, it's okay, I'm here. Everything will be fine."
Morgana is smarter than anyone else. She can understand many things without Kai having to say anything. She doesn't need long explanations, she just needs a haven so that she can rest well. Kai didn't know if he was a good man, but at least he could try his best to be nice to her and prevent her from being wronged.
Morgana quickly calmed down, but she didn't want to leave Kai's arms. The two of them hugged each other tightly, and they didn't know how long it took, until there was a knock on the door, and they separated.
