Davian Holy Grail War

"I will go to see King Ullens of Gor and then return to Orkney. You should go back first. As an excellent knight who has obtained the holy sword, you must teach Agragwen and Gaheris well, understand?"

Tonellico's words revealed her majesty and seriousness as a mother, which was an alternative warning to Gawain not to become proud and complacent just because he got the holy sword.

"Yes, I understand." Gawain lowered his head obediently and followed his mother's instructions. Then he clapped his hands, and just as Davian was curious about what he was doing, the sound of horse hooves appeared.

A brown-red warhorse ran to Gawain. The sturdy warhorse stopped beside Gawain and rubbed its head against Gawain's shoulder armor to show affection.

"Then mother, goodbye. I will wait for you in Orkney."

After that, Gawain mounted his horse and galloped towards Orkney. This warhorse was obviously an excellent warhorse, but after a while, Davian and Tonelli could no longer see Gawain.

And when Gawain walked away, Davian turned around and planned to return to the embassy. Although the battle just now made him feel much more relaxed, it cannot be said that it had no impact at all.

He had always thought that Tonelli beside him was similar to him, but Gawain's words broke his heart.

Tonelli is not only not a girl, she is even a wife, and has a child as old as Gawain. Even from what she just said, Gawain is not her only child.

This incident had such a huge impact on him that even Tonelli didn't know how to start the conversation.

For a young man, the impact of this incident is much more realistic than the previous situation where two people would be at loggerheads in the future.

After all, the future is the future and the present is the present.

The two of them slowly returned to the embassy, ​​and Tonelli went into her room without saying a word. When he saw her close the door, Davian returned to his room.

But he was surprised as soon as he entered the room. A man in white clothes and white hair was standing by the window with his back to him. Of course, the only person who could come to see him at this time was Merlin, but he didn't know why Merlin came.

"Hey, Davian, haven't seen you for a while." Merlin turned around and greeted him with a smile, his attitude was very casual.

But Davian knew he must be trying to say something. It would be strange for someone like Merlin to come here just to reminisce about the past.

"It's been a while since we last met, Merlin. What's the matter with you coming to see me this time?" He put down the dark sword at his waist. With Merlin here, he didn't need to be so vigilant.

After all, who could cause trouble under Merlin's nose? If someone could ignore Merlin and cause trouble, Davian couldn't stop it.

"After all, your relationship with her is slowly heating up. It would be bad if I didn't do something."

He explained the current situation in just one sentence, and Davian couldn't help feeling dizzy after hearing these words. Good man, Gawain was guided here by this guy.

Yes, Gawain just said that it was guidance from a dream.

And what Merlin is best at is secretly causing trouble for others in dreams.

I had been beaten up by Artorius in my dreams for three years, but I just ignored such important information. Should I say that I was too tense during this period?

"Although good advice may be unpleasant to the ear, aren't you afraid that I will hate you for what you did?" Davey sighed, somewhat helpless. This may be a good thing, as it made Davey face reality.

But Davian himself still has to bear the emotional consequences, whether they have happened or not.

Merlin heard his words and laughed without hesitation:

"Hahaha, it's not a big deal for young people to have some emotional problems. And there's really a huge age gap between you two. This is the truth. She can be your mother. She already has three children. And it's better to tell you now than to find out later."

This may be what Merlin sees as stopping losses in advance. Anyway, it is much better than Davian getting too deep into the situation and learning the truth later. As for being held a grudge, well, holding a grudge is nothing. He's not afraid of small things.

"Do you want me to tell you more? I don't mind. For example, her true face, what she really wants, and why she wants those things."

Merlin certainly didn't mind exposing Tonelico's past here. If Davian wanted to know, even if it was the color of Tonelico's underwear, Merlin wouldn't mind showing it to him at the risk of his head.

"No, forget it. If she can't hide it anymore, or if she wants to say it, she will tell it. Besides, I know some fragments of the future..."

He placed his hand on the dark sword, and he saw the future himself.

But he didn't know whether he would be able to change the future for the better like Kamiyama Touma, or become a plaything of fate like Kamijou Daichi.

[Should I decide the ending of the story? Really, can it be done? 】 He couldn't help but think so in his heart.

Chapter 22 The right to choose

"Ah, by the way, you've met Gawain as well, right? How was it, what did you think of him?"

Merlin mentioned Gawain again, which made Davian happy.

After all, Gawain is a really nice person. He is humble and very capable.

Just like his holy sword representing the sun, Gawain gives people a warm but not annoying feeling.

“If anything, I don’t really want to be an enemy of Gawain, he’s a very good guy.

It is really an unimaginable talent that he has such excellent abilities and looks but is not annoying.

But you brought him here not just to tell me that he is Tonerico's son."

Davian spoke out what was in his mind, and he could more or less guess at his own future connection with Gawain.

"Of course, the Sun Knight, the invincible Lord Gawain. You will accomplish countless feats with him in the future, and he, like you, will be the king's right-hand man."

Merlin's words confirmed what Davian was thinking, that Gawain and he would not be enemies in the future, but comrades-in-arms.

"So what are you going to do next? Let me tell you in advance, I don't recommend you to go to the Gor region. This is because King Yuruns is very ambitious. He has no interest in the Sword of the King's Choice. He even thinks that he is the one who should draw the sword."

Merlin had already warned him that there was really no need to meet some people, because meeting them would not change anything and might even cause trouble for him.

After hearing Merlin's words, Davian thought for a moment before saying:

"Then I'm going to France. I want to meet the Knight of the Lake. I remember his name is... Lancelot, right?

Then when I return from France, I plan to land in Orkney and meet Gawain there again. Calculating the time, I think it will be almost the day of the king election. If I can make it in time, I will definitely come here. "

"Oh, you're actually planning to meet him? Much earlier than I thought."

Merlin smiled and scratched his hair, but Davian didn't know whether what he said was true or not. Facing a man who could see the current era clearly, he didn't know how much Merlin could see.

"Since there's no need to go to Gore, let's go and meet the strongest knight in France. It's a good opportunity to compare him with Gawain, and it will also help me understand my current level better. Merlin, in today's Britain, can Gawain rank among the best?"

Davian made his intentions clear, and also wanted to ask how strong Gawain was now in Merlin's eyes.

"Excluding the humble king, Balin, and Artorius, it should be Gawain. Why, do you think you can defeat Gawain?"

Merlin was not sure how strong Davian was now. The shielding of the Dark Sword was not that simple. Even his top-notch clairvoyance could not see Davian's strength clearly.

The previous battle between Davian and Gawain was not a life-and-death fight, so the real difference between the two men could not be seen.

Hearing Merlin's question, Davian shook his head:

"No, I can't defeat Gawain now. Maybe I can suppress him with my sword skills. But for some reason, his strength is so strong that even I am fully armed and helpless.

You should know the truth of the matter, right? But don't tell me, knowing the truth about someone else's power is literally life-threatening."

"Of course, of course. After all, it was me who guided him to obtain Kaledin. I know exactly what kind of bonus the sword will bring to him, but since you don't want to hear it, I won't tell you.

But it is true that the Holy Sword User attracts the Holy Sword User. I didn't expect you to want to meet Lancelot so early. Are you attracted by the Arondite in his hand?"

Merlin was of course very familiar with the sword, after all, Lancelot was also raised by fairies. And Merlin said that there was no fairy in the world that he didn't know.

"But since you want to go to France, I recommend that you go south to Cornwall and then take a ship to France. And you want to go to Orkney? That's the northernmost part of Britain, known as the Orkney of the End.

If you keep going back and forth like this, I'm afraid it will be the day of the king selection. After all, this is not your era. Even if there is magic, many things cannot be compared. "

But even so, Merlin agreed with Davian's idea.

And in Cornwall, there is also a loyal and excellent knight.

I guess the sincere Davian would be able to get along well with that person...even though that person looks frivolous.

Davian nodded, indicating that he had taken note of Merlin's words. With such a simple suggestion, Merlin would definitely not give himself any trouble.

"So, Tonelli, what are you going to do? Just make it clear and go your separate ways?"

Merlin also wanted to hear Davian's thoughts on this. After all, Tonelli had a lot of weight in Davian's heart.

Even though it was just a short period of contact, this was the third living person Davian had come into contact with in the past few years. Coupled with the previous adventures, the relationship between them would not end so easily.

When asked about this, Davian could only sigh:

"I can only put the right of choice back into her own hands, even though I have always known that she has no good intentions towards me. But I have already drunk this cup of poisonous honey water, what can I do?"

Because he knew one thing in his heart, even if her contact had bad intentions. But Tonellico has never thought about taking his own life. Although Tonellico has problems, he is by no means a person who is so bad that it is difficult to understand.

Merlin just smiled, and this smile was somewhat sarcastic. Maybe it was good now, but he knew too well what would happen in the future.

The resentment and hatred in Tonelli's heart will not diminish, but will only become more terrifying as Altoris becomes more active. This is not something Davian can solve, and he will only suffer if he continues like this.

But Merlin felt that he had done enough, and that it was enough to say this. The rest should be left to Davian to deal with on his own.

Precisely because he could see the ending, he felt that he should not interfere too much.

Everyone has their own story, and everyone must have their own ending. Davian's ending has been determined, and how to get to that ending is his own business.

"Well, now that you understand everything, I'll be leaving. I don't know when we'll meet again. Work hard, Davian. I look forward to your activeness and your making a name for yourself in this world."

Merlin said, and then he turned into petals all over the sky and disappeared. No one knew how he got here, but he left in a rather fancy way.

Davian smiled bitterly, grabbed a few petals and blew them away from the window. What will be the ending of the story? All I can see are fragments, just like the petals on the ground.

Chapter 23 Be content with the status quo

At night, Artorius finished his day's work, fed the horses, and patrolled the village.

He could now get some sleep and let his body rest.

Although it was only less than three hours from early morning to sunrise, it was barely enough for a superhero like her.

But the spirit cannot rest, in his dream, he once again came to this familiar flower bush, he was already very accustomed to this dream.

But every time he saw this beautiful scene, he felt better.

"Hey, Altria-chan. Today it's not just about training and teaching knowledge. I'm here to report to you about Davian."

Merlin appeared in front of him accompanied by flower petals, and Artorius smiled bitterly.

Ever since Davian stopped appearing in this dream, Merlin's frivolous behavior began to return.

Before, I used to call him Artorius, but now I just call him Artoria.

"About Davian? I saw it that day, too, that dark pillar of light rising into the sky. Sure enough, it was caused by Davian."

Artorius remembered the dragon roar that resounded throughout Britain. It was indeed Davian. Only the holy sword in his hand could unleash such power.

Merlin nodded and told Artorius what happened that day:

"Of course it was because of him. That was his first time fighting against a monster, the Lord of the Beasts in the forest outside Londinium.

It was a demonic pig as tall as two people, ferocious and hating humans. Just to deal with that demonic beast, he accepted his fate, grasped the holy sword tightly, and used all his strength. "

"But you don't have to worry about his safety. He has completely accepted the blessing of the holy sword. He defeated the monster easily, and the surrounding Kane village had a feast because of it."

Merlin laughed. This kind of thing was nothing to Davian, who had become a super knight. It was just a beast lord in the forest. It was not something outrageous.

Artorius sighed, then complained a little on Davian's behalf:

"I've always felt that you pushed Davian too far, Merlin. Before that, he was just an ordinary guy.

He has neither blood like mine nor the abilities that he has cultivated since childhood. He only has a holy sword that he himself could not master before.

You only gave him three years as an ordinary person, and then asked him to grow so quickly, it's a bit..."

He didn't want to say the rest, but Merlin continued calmly:

"No, this is the fate he should accept. After all, when he came to Britain, he could only accept his fate.

Maybe it’s a little different from the life he should have led, but isn’t such an eventful life a better path?”

“For this reason, I taught him swordsmanship and related knowledge, allowing him to experience this era and this Britain himself.

Don't worry, Altria. He will surely establish countless merits in the future, defeat countless enemies, and become a member of the Round Table.

Your future will be spent together, and your future will be created together."

Merlin's tone has become serious now. He is not joking. Davian will grow up slowly until he becomes the leader of the round table.

After hearing this, Artorius said no more. Merlin had the most advanced clairvoyance, and he could see much more than he could.

But now Artorius has no choice, or he has to make a choice for the sake of Britain.

As Merlin said, Davian will grow up to be very good. Let Davian's power be used for Britain, for himself, and for the future King Arthur.

“But even I can’t see Davian’s abilities now.

That holy sword is very special. It can block the concept of magic. Not only me, but even Tonelli can do that.

No, Morgan couldn’t see clearly. The person who forged that sword was obviously not an ordinary person. "

Merlin could probably guess what level of power was used to forge the sword, but he was too lazy to say it, and there was no need to say it.
