Chapter 75: Miracle (Please Collect and Recommend)
Just when Kay and Merlin rushed back to Camelot day and night, Arthur's condition had worsened and was extremely serious. This time, King Uther refused to go to Arthur's room. It was not that King Uther did not love his son. On the contrary, King Uther was sadder than ever at this time. He just couldn't bear to watch Arthur fighting death while he could only watch helplessly.
He couldn't convince himself to face the scene of Arthur suffering from illness calmly, so he chose to escape. He was outside Arthur's room, but he couldn't muster up the courage to step into Arthur's room.
King Uther supported the window and looked at the people gathered outside the palace. They all came to the door of the palace spontaneously to see off their prince. They held candles, lowered their heads, and prayed silently for Arthur, hoping that their prince would go well.
On the other side, after making his last effort, Gaius also walked out of Arthur's room, leaving only Morgana and some servants in the room to do the final washing for their prince. Obviously, no one has hope now.
Gaius felt bad watching his old friend standing in front of the window alone. But out of his responsibility, Gaius still walked gently behind King Uther, bowed slightly, and asked softly: "My Majesty, is there anything else I can do for you?"
"The subjects have begun to say goodbye to him." King Uther's voice was full of fatigue and sadness.
Gaius opened his mouth, but in the end he could only say dryly: "He hasn't left yet, your majesty. →"
"But he can't be cured either!" King Uther has no hope now.
"Maybe there is a miracle. Sir Kay has taken Merlin to help Arthur find an antidote. Maybe they will get something soon."
The reason for Kay's departure could not be concealed. After all, he had been missing for almost a month, and at this time. The soldiers on the front line have all returned, but there is still no news from Kay. Even if King Uther is slow, he knows that there is a problem. So a long time ago, King Uther learned part of the truth from Gaius. He knew that Kay had left to find an antidote. It was also with this hope that King Uther did not despair after Arthur's condition worsened again.
But now... King Uther has no courage anymore, Kai has been away for too long.
"I don't believe in miracles..." King Uther said this and was ready to turn around and leave. He had to find a place for Arthur in the cemetery of his ancestors. But just as he was about to leave.
There was a commotion outside the palace gate. King Uther walked to the edge of the window and looked out. The people holding candles outside the palace gate to see Arthur off separated like a tide. Kai rode his warhorse on the road where the people separated and headed straight for the palace gate.
Seeing his adopted son, King Uther, who had already despaired, raised hope again. He had no other choice now, and could only hope that Kai could bring him a miracle.
Kai rushed into the palace in a dusty manner. Along the way, he went straight to Arthur's room without stopping. The scene in front of the palace gate had frightened him, and now he could only pray that Arthur was okay.
When he rushed into Arthur's room, he was shocked by the scene inside. Morgana and a group of servants were in tears as they made the final arrangements for Arthur. They washed Arthur's body, put on the most gorgeous clothes for him, and smeared spices on his body. (Spice application is not to roast Arthur, but there is such a custom in ancient times. I remember that it existed in Egypt and Europe. It is used for embalming.)
This is the rhythm of burial!
If Kai could not still see the rise and fall of Arthur's chest, he would really sit on the ground.
"Kai!" Seeing Kai's appearance, Morgana immediately shouted in surprise. Just now, Morgana's mood was the same as King Uther's. They were all desperate, and Kai's appearance gave them the last hope.
Kai had no time to talk to Morgana. He just walked to Arthur's bed and roughly pushed away the servants who were making the final preparations for Arthur. He pinched Arthur's cheeks, opened Arthur's mouth, and then took out a silver kettle filled with holy water from his arms and poured the holy water into Arthur's mouth.
At the beginning, Arthur was not able to swallow the holy water, but as the holy water was poured in, Arthur's swallowing instinct became stronger and stronger, and he began to swallow the holy water in big gulps.
As the holy water was finished, Arthur's symptoms began to improve significantly. His face, which was already pale and lifeless, showed a trace of blood. Although it still looked bad, it was no longer like he might die at any time.
Feeling that the toxins in Arthur's body began to weaken rapidly and his vitality increased steadily, Kai knew that Arthur was out of danger.
As Arthur turned from danger to safety, Kai's highly nervous spirit finally relaxed, and then a wave of fatigue surged into his heart. Kai could no longer hold on and fell directly on Arthur's bed.
This scene happened to be seen by King Uther and Gaius who came over, and the two old men were shocked. King Uther was worried because one of his sons was about to die. If something happened to his other son, he would not have to live.
Gaius was more worried. He knew what Kai was doing. He also knew the characteristics of ancient magic. He was afraid that Kai would use his life to exchange for Arthur's antidote.
The two old men ran to Kai's side. King Uther didn't even pay attention to Arthur. Instead, he hugged Kai and asked Gaius anxiously: "Look, what happened to Kai?!"
Gaius was also fast. He had already started to do a full body check on Kai when King Uther held him.
The results came out soon, which made Gaius feel relieved. Although Kai had a cold and fever, it was not serious. He was just too tired and had a cold, so he couldn't hold on and fell asleep.
"It's okay, there is nothing wrong with my body, I'm just too tired. I'll be fine after a rest." When Gaius said this, his eyes began to look around. He was looking for someone, looking for his stupid apprentice. He found that only Kai came back, but his stupid apprentice was nowhere to be seen.
He wanted to ask Kai why he didn't see Merlin. But in this situation, he had no chance to ask.
After hearing Gaius's diagnosis, King Uther was relieved. Then he immediately asked Morgana to take people to send Kai back to rest. Morgana couldn't stand it any longer. After hearing King Uther's order, she immediately took people to send Kai back to the room.
After Kai and the others left, King Uther took Gaius to diagnose Arthur.
Gaius only realized at this time that there was another person here, and now was not the time to worry about where Merlin was. Although Gaius was basically sure that Arthur would be fine, after all, Kai came back so exhausted, it was impossible for him to return empty-handed. But what should be done must be done.
After examining Arthur, Gaius said to King Uther very happily: "That's great, Your Majesty. All the toxins in Arthur's body have been removed. I believe that Arthur will recover soon."
King Uther didn't have the heart to worry about where Kai found the antidote at this time, but just kept saying: "That's great, that's great, that's great."
King Uther, who relaxed, felt weak all over, but this was not because he was sick, but because he was too happy and felt a little at a loss. After a while, King Uther woke up. He asked Gaius to go down and give Kai a more detailed examination, and by the way, prescribe medicine for Kai to treat his cold, while he stayed with Arthur.
