Chapter 69: Blessed Island (Please Collect and Recommend)

The Blessed Island is very far from Camelot. If you ride day and night, it will take at least ten days to go back and forth. So Kai set off with Merlin early the next morning.

Although Kai is very confident in himself, after all, the place he is going to is the birthplace of ancient magic. Who knows what strange things there will be there, so it is very necessary to bring a wizard. Kai is not afraid of danger, but Arthur can't wait.

So Merlin was brought by Kai this time.

The two of them rode on horses day and night to the southwest of Camelot, passing through the "Fallen King" Canyon of Mount Paektu and arriving at the north of the Meldor Sea. This journey is not to mention the ninety-nine eighty-one difficulties, but it is not peaceful.

In this era, leaving the human settlement area is basically all poor mountains and bad waters, with wild beasts and poisonous insects as numerous as cattle hairs, plus some inexplicable magical creatures, which also made Merlin, a young man who had not seen much of the world, suffer enough.

This is also thanks to Kai's rich experience in wild survival, otherwise Merlin probably would not be able to get there in his lifetime.

Finally, the two of them found a large lake in the north of the Meledo Sea, passing through a forest that was dark and foggy all year round. The weather here seems to be always rainy, either raining or foggy, and if you are not careful, you may get lost in it at any time. But fortunately, although this place looks gloomy, it is not dangerous. Kai didn't even see a living creature in the forest.

According to Gaius's description, the blessed island is in the center of this lake.

After searching along the lake, Kai and his friends finally found a dilapidated port in a reed marsh, where a small boat was docked.

But what annoyed Kai was that there was a boat, but no oars. In the end, Merlin took action and used a magic that Kai didn't know, so that the boat could move automatically.

Although the power of Celtic magic was not worth mentioning in Kai's opinion, it was at least much worse than the magic in other places Kai had seen. For example, the spells used by the tough guys in Asgard were very powerful, with sparks and lightning every time they fought. For example, Gilgamesh's treasure of the king was like an artillery position every time a battle started. After a boom, the opponent was killed without a complete body.

But Celtic magic is not without advantages. For example, Celtic magic is very useful in some details. Seriously speaking, Celtic magic is more home-based and not amazing in battle. Of course, this may be Kai's prejudice. After all, he himself has not seen the essence of Celtic magic, because before Kai saw these things, King Uther pushed the magic flat.

Now, those wizards have become rare animals. They are rarely seen.

Merlin is a wizard, but unfortunately this child is a half-bucket of water. He learned magic by himself from Gaius's magic book. He knows some spells, but he has no theory at all. →

Sometimes Kai even doubts whether such a half-baked person can really become a great wizard in the future?

Riding on the boat controlled by Merlin, the two of them went to the center of the lake.

Not to mention, this lake is really not small. With the speed of Merlin controlling the boat, Kai and his friends took a long time to find an island. It is better to say that it is a castle built in the water than an island. The whole castle appears very abruptly on the lake surface, and there is no trace of land around it.

Kai and Merlin walked into the castle through a small door outside the castle.

This castle is very old at first glance. The style is very old, and many places are severely weathered. There is no one in the castle. It is obviously abandoned for a long time. Even the cracks in the stones are full of grass.

"Stand here and don't move. I'll go up and take a look."

Kai's heart was cold at this time. There were no people in this ghost place, not to mention people, even ghosts. Where can I find the antidote?

"Wait! Sir Kai!" Before Kai could take a step, Merlin suddenly grabbed Kai. "I can feel that something is attracting me. Follow me. I know where to go."

After saying that, regardless of whether Kai agreed or not, he walked out first.

Kai had no better way. Now he could only trust Merlin. He was not familiar with Celtic magic at all. Although Merlin was a half-baked one, he was also an expert in this field. Now he could only listen to him.

Following Merlin, Kai finally arrived at the courtyard of the castle after many twists and turns.

As soon as he arrived at the courtyard, he saw a clear view. Although it was as dilapidated as other places, the grass and trees here were obviously taken care of by someone, and they did not grow wildly like other places.

Walking along the stone path in the courtyard and passing through an unknown flower garden, Kai and his friends came to the center of the courtyard, where there was a huge stone circle, and in the center of the huge stone circle was an altar. Kai held his two swords and remained alert. This ghost place was full of a weird atmosphere, which gave Kai a very bad feeling.

"Hello? Is anyone there?"

Kai was still cautious, but he was startled by Merlin's "greeting". Obviously, everything around was quiet, but Merlin suddenly said something that was not only abrupt, but also very disruptive to the atmosphere.

Kai turned his head and was about to scold the unfortunate child, but he stopped halfway.

"Hello, Kai. Oh, and our little Merlin, hello."

Kai heaved a sigh of relief and turned around slowly.

At the side of the altar, the witch Niwei was already standing there with a half-smile.

"Hi, Niwei. I didn't expect that we would meet again." Kai tried his best to relax himself and not be so nervous.

Merlin was also shocked when he saw Niwei suddenly appear. He knew this woman. It was not long after he came to Camelot. This woman had sneaked into Camelot. At that time, Camelot and another big country, the Kingdom of Mercia, finally ushered in peace after years of hegemony. The King of Mercia brought people to Camelot to prepare to sign a treaty with King Uther. At that time, this woman pretended to be a maid and lurked in the Mercian delegation.

She wanted to poison Arthur to death, but was discovered by Merlin. At that time, Merlin drank poisoned wine to prove that someone really poisoned him, and he almost died. If Arthur hadn't gone through so much hardship to find an antidote for Merlin, Merlin would probably not be seen now.

By the way, our little brother Merlin almost fell in love with Niwei... but he was dumped before his first love even started.

Seeing Merlin looking at her in surprise, Niwei was not angry, but winked at Merlin playfully. Merlin immediately lowered his head in fear. That relationship was too embarrassing, and Merlin didn't want others to know about it.

Kai was confused.

"Do you two know each other?"

"Of course." Niwei said.

"No!" Merlin said.
