I'm a druid in Type Moon
Page 32
After listening to Merlin's long speech, Lin En's anger towards him disappeared a lot, but he still asked angrily:
"Didn't you say you didn't care about King Arthur's marriage?"
Merlin said calmly:
"I really don't care about King Arthur's marriage, but I am still very interested in Leah's marriage. I asked Altria yesterday. She had no objection to marrying Princess Guinevere, and Kai was also very satisfied with it. I had no objection either, so the matter was settled."
"What about me? What about my opinion?"
Lynn asked, suppressing her anger.
Merlin stood up, looked at Lin En with his usual smile, and said softly:
"I am Liya's teacher, and Kai is her sworn brother. Apart from the reclusive Sir Atok and the silent Princess Morgan, we are the only relatives left of Altria. What about you? In what capacity do you ask this question? Liya's childhood playmate?"
After saying this, he didn't even look at Lin En who was standing there in a daze, but walked straight out of the palace.
Lin En walked out of the palace in a daze. Yes. Merlin is Altria's teacher and guardian, Kai is Altria's brother, Sir Ector is Altria's adoptive father, and Morgan is Altria's half-sister. The four of them have no objection to this marriage, so what can I, who is at most a childhood sweetheart, do?
Indeed, with his status as a great druid, he could give advice on King Arthur's marriage, but he had no right to interfere in Altria's marriage, unless...
Lin En was thinking about something, and as he walked, he arrived at the tavern where he drank with Merlin yesterday. In Britain at this time, the grain production was not high, and the wine production was even scarcer. Ordinary people did not have the spare money to drink, not to mention that it was still broad daylight.
Therefore, this tavern actually mainly serves the knights. Many knights from other places like to come here for a drink after get off work.
As for why Lynn knew it so clearly, it was because some of the wine in this tavern was sold from Lynn's estate.
As soon as the tavern owner saw Lin En, he immediately recognized him and said hurriedly:
"Master Lin, you are here to see Master Kai, right? I will take you there immediately."
Lin En was stunned, but didn't say much. He followed the tavern owner into a private room on the second floor where Kai was drinking alone.
Although it seems like a coincidence, it is actually quite normal. After all, there are only a few taverns in Camelot, and this one is the most high-end one. The tavern owner was born into a noble family, but he was the fourth son in the family. He did not have a good relationship with the eldest son, and did not get much property. In a fit of anger, he brought all his savings to the capital to open this tavern.
Because of his noble origin, the tavern owner was able to chat with the knights who came here, and therefore knew that Kai and Lynn had a good relationship. This time, Kai came to the tavern to drink in broad daylight, which was unusual for him. When the tavern owner saw Lynn for the first time, he thought he was looking for Kai, so he brought him in.
Kai had just started drinking and was a little surprised to see Lin En come in.
"Lin En, why are you here? Didn't Merlin say you were too tired and should stay at home to recuperate?"
Lynn sat down next to Kai, poured herself a glass of wine, and drank it all in one gulp.
Kai raised his eyebrows when he saw this. Although he was not very familiar with the teachings of Druids, Lynn didn't drink much and had not even been to this tavern many times. As a result, he was not familiar with many people in the Knights of the Round Table.
"I had a good sleep last night, and I feel much better after waking up."
Lin En did not mention Merlin's possible manipulation, because even he himself was not sure whether Merlin had done anything. After all, after suppressing the rebellion for several months, Lin En was indeed a little tired, and it was still possible that he accidentally slept in.
However, Kai's expression turned a little unhappy after hearing these words, and it seemed that he had thought of something bad.
"What about you? Why are you drinking alone here? Don't you have any government affairs today?"
Unlike Lynn, who only holds a sinecure and usually does his job as an archdruid, Kay is a genuine interior minister. If King Arthur disappears for a few months, at most the Knights of the Round Table will go out to look for him, and Camelot will still be safe for a while. But if Kay disappears for a few months, all the Knights of the Round Table, including King Arthur and Merlin, will have to spend their time dealing with more and more government affairs. I believe Camelot will soon be filled with sorrow and eventually turn into a scene at the end of the dynasty!
"Leave it all to Merlin. He doesn't do anything serious all day anyway!"
Kai snorted disdainfully and drank the wine in the glass.
Lin En helped him fill the cup and continued to ask:
"So why did you come here to drink? You are not an alcoholic, and Gawain and the others didn't come with you? What happened?"
As Lin En spoke, his expression became serious. The discord among the Knights of the Round Table could be a serious threat to the kingdom!
"No, they're next door!"
Kai pointed to the next box, where he could vaguely hear Gawain's cheers and Lancelot's applause. If Lin En's hearing was not a problem, in addition to Bedivere who was with King Arthur and Gareth who was on duty, the other Knights of the Round Table were all here.
"Cheers to our King and Queen!"
Sounds like this came into Kai and Lynn's ears.
The two of them sighed at the same time and took another big gulp.
"Although I thought something like this might happen the day she hid her identity and became King Arthur. But when it actually happened, it was still a little hard to believe. My sister is going to marry a princess!"
Kai filled his own glass, and also filled Lynn's glass, clinking glasses with him.
"When Merlin asked Leah to become King Arthur, I was actually against it. It's fine to be a king, Britain has had queens before. But what does it mean for a man to dress up as a woman and become king? Doesn't it just mean fighting for a few more years? It's not like we can't win!"
The End of the Age of Gods: Chapter 88: Wedding Gift
I don't know if it's because of the alcohol, but Kai started to talk nonsense. It seems that he is not very satisfied with the fact that Altria disguised herself as a woman and became the King of Camelot.
However, Kay still had a high opinion of King Arthur and thought he was a qualified king. If King Arthur had not existed, the war in Camelot would have continued for decades.
Therefore, Kay had no right to stop King Arthur. If this marriage was another price the girl voluntarily paid, then Kay would respect her decision.
Even Lynn is no exception. In this era, Lynn is not alone. The responsibility of the Archdruid rests on him, and he also has a share of responsibility for the survival of Britain. If he wants to stop this marriage, he must come up with a better way instead of opposing it on a whim.
Unfortunately, Lynn did not come up with a good way to make Camelot and Cameliers become close allies and give Altria the happiness she deserves, and the news of their marriage has already spread. If something unexpected happens at the wedding, it is very likely that the two kingdoms will turn against each other.
In the end, Lynn couldn't think of a better solution, so he and Kai spent the whole night drinking here.
Time flies, Lynn is once again caught up in busy work, and spring is approaching.
Lin En calculated this year's calendar early and passed it on to nobles from all over the country. At the same time, Lin En also began to prepare to pray for this year's spring ploughing.
This is the job of the Archdruid. Before, Lin En either helped Merlin deal with official documents, or helped Camelot fight wars, and even had to deal with the relationship with the nobles. A normal druid doesn't need to do these things.
While Lynn was busy with spring ploughing, Merlin was also busy preparing for King Arthur's wedding. Because it was right after spring ploughing, many nobles left their affairs behind and came to Camelot in advance.
If this marriage goes smoothly, Camelot will unify most of Britain, and no one will dare to face King Arthur except the humble king and his invaders.
In the minds of most nobles, the Knight King, who had never lost a battle since he came to power, would undoubtedly be the final winner. And this wedding was a perfect opportunity, whether to expand his influence or to join King Arthur and gain his favor.
Therefore, this spring plowing festival also became a stage for the nobles to communicate. Except for Lynn who was only responsible for the normal sacrifice, Merlin and the Knights of the Round Table were communicating with knights and nobles from all over the place, exchanging information or judging positions.
King Arthur stayed at the banquet until the sun went down and the moon began to appear. Then he changed into the plain white dress that he had only worn once and walked towards the sacrificial site alone.
King Arthur's departure did not surprise people. The Archdruid had announced a few days ago that he would bless King Arthur at this sacrifice. As for why he did not bless the newlyweds at the wedding, it was because the Druids preferred to hold sacrifices in the oak forest at night.
The forests of this era are different from those of today. In this era without any light pollution, if there is no moonlight, the forest will be completely dark, and people of this era generally suffer from "night blindness". Therefore, weddings held in the forest can only happen in fairy tales. In reality, unless all the guests attending the wedding are powerful transcendents, they will need the help of multiple druids to hold a decent wedding in the forest.
Of course, if you can find a god to preside over your wedding, then the above conditions can be ignored.
Altria walked into the forest alone. The moonlight tonight was beautiful, and the silver moonlight shone on the grassy ground. Altria walked along the "Milky Way", and along the way, countless small animals stopped by the roadside. There were groups of elk, newly born brown bear cubs, little black panthers that had just opened their eyes, and wolf cubs that were born a few days ago.
A snowy owl that had not yet left was leading the way in front of Altria, and the breeze created by its wings blew her hair.
Altria walked on this road that seemed to be illuminated by the stars. The peaceful and tranquil atmosphere diluted her confusion about the future. Is this marriage really right? Can I really defeat the humble king? Will the future I once saw really come true?
All these doubts accumulated in King Arthur's heart, causing him to devote all his energy to the affairs of Camelot day after day, launching one battle after another and killing one enemy after another. It also caused him to accumulate a huge amount of pressure in his heart.
This is natural. Before Artoria pulled out the Sword of the Chosen King, she was just an ordinary girl. Even though she possessed powerful martial arts and the top wisdom of the era, her mind was still at the level of an ordinary person. If it weren't for the blessing of the Sword of the Chosen King, it's hard to say whether Artoria could play the role of King Arthur smoothly.
But today, Altria put down her sword and took off her scabbard. The breath of nature washed over her body without reservation, even causing the seal of the holy sword to tremble slightly.
If there were outsiders present, they would find that Altria seemed to have grown a little taller, and her childish face had a hint of youthfulness, as if she had entered the best age of 18 in her life.
When Lin En sensed her approaching, he opened his eyes and saw the beautiful and youthful Altria, and almost thought that he had traveled through time again. You know, in Lin En's memory, there was indeed a timeline in which King Arthur did not draw the Holy Sword, but used the Holy Lance as a weapon.
However, the cold moonlight pulled Lin En back from his fantasy.
Lin En smiled, looked at Altria in front of him, and said softly:
"Long time no see, Altria!"
Altria was stunned for a moment, and then a long-lost smile appeared on her stiff face.
"Long time no see, Lynn!"
"Is this your wedding present to me?"
Altria raised her hands and touched her feet, feeling very curious. She had forgotten the last time she grew taller. Since she drew the holy sword, her body stopped growing. Therefore, she was the shortest one among the Knights of the Round Table, and King Arthur was very troubled by this.
"Wedding present?"
Lin En had no idea that this sacrifice would have an impact on Altria's immobilized body, just like the animal cubs that came to participate in the sacrifice.
The End of the Age of Gods: Chapter 89: Rejection
Unfortunately, according to Lin En's inference, Altria's change was only a temporary phenomenon caused by the impact of nature, and she would return to her original state after leaving the forest.
But even so, it was enough to surprise Altria, because she originally thought that she would never grow taller in her life.
"Want to see what you look like now?"
Lynn chuckled and waved to Altria.
Altria nodded and walked in front of Lynn.
Lynn waved his hand, and the water vapor in the forest obeyed his command and formed a smooth mirror in front of Altria.
The moonlight was beautiful, and the silver light fell on the girl, making her originally plain white dress look noble. Her long hair, which had grown back after a year, was draped over her shoulders, and a golden glow condensed in her pupils.
The originally childish face now had more youthful vitality and charm, and a rare smile appeared because of the unexpected surprise.
Altria stretched out her hand, wanting to touch the reflection in the water, as if she was trying to touch another life of hers, the one that had not sacrificed its life for the country, but was just a girl.
The cold touch brought her thoughts back to reality, and the ripples shattered the reflection in the mirror, leaving only a blurry moonlight.
"is it beautiful?"
Lynn spoke softly from behind the mirror, as if asking for Altria's opinion.
"No matter how beautiful it is, it is just an illusory dream."
Altria gave her answer.
There was a brief silence, and after a long while, Lin En finally spoke:
"If you wish, I can turn this dream into reality!"
Altria withdrew her hand, and a drop of water fell from her fingertips. She looked at her fingers and thought for a long time, and finally shook her head and said:
"Forget it! This is the life I have chosen. I will continue to move forward unwaveringly until I see the final outcome!"
In the palace not far away, the guests at the banquet suddenly raised their heads and looked at the night sky in the distance. The moon tonight was exceptionally bright, even a little dazzling.
Then, under the gaze of countless eyes, the moonlight seemed to condense into substance and bombarded the quiet forest, as if invisible ripples spread out, shattering all the sights that tried to peek.
Be it the extremely powerful Knights of the Round Table, the unprepared Nightmare, or the witch who was alone on the top of the tower, at this moment they all lost their perception of that place.
Lin En raised his hands, and the moonlight gathered in his hands as if it were real. No, not just like! The invisible moonlight became real in the hands of the Archdruid. It was the light that once shone in the Age of Gods. Only the purest virgins could be favored by the Moon God and obtain this mythical treasure.
The pillars of light that stretched from sky to earth disappeared, and the moon once again gave the world the power to look directly at her. But no one dared to extend their perception to the still quiet forest.
"What a terrifying power, it's as if the moon has descended upon the earth!"
Lancelot, the "first warrior" of the Knights of the Round Table, the most skilled knight of this era, looked into the distance with his naked eyes. Even though the miraculous scene had disappeared, there was still something emitting a faint light in the distant forest.
"Indeed! At that moment, I thought the Rotating Victory Sword had a sister sword that symbolized the moon!"
Beside Lancelot, the Sun Knight Gawain was also gazing at the forest in the distance. At his waist, the rotating sword of victory made a slight humming sound, as if responding to something.
In the center of the forest that attracted everyone's attention, Lin En lowered his raised hands and showed what was in his hands to Altria.
"So beautiful!"
Even Altria, who was not interested in gorgeous clothes, was shocked by the rare treasures in the world. It was as if the moonlight had become real, or as if the Milky Way was folded in her hands. A piece of silver-white cloth appeared on Lin's arms, emitting a faint glow.
Legend has it that a pure girl who believes in the Moon God and goes to an uninhabited forest on the day when the moon is at its fullest will have the opportunity to see the Moon God Temple in the forest. If she enters the temple and prays devoutly under the moonlight, she will have the opportunity to receive the Moon God's blessing. If the Moon God likes the girl's beauty, he will give her a piece of cloth that matches her beauty.
It was a piece of cloth condensed from the most beautiful moonlight in the world, a treasure that was once only possessed by goddesses representing beauty and the mortals they loved.
"This is Moonlight Silk, one of the most beautiful fabrics in the world! Only now that the gods have left can I gather so many years of moonlight to weave this piece of fabric!"
"At the same time, this is also my wedding gift to you."
Artoria caressed the soft moonlight, and her heart, which had originally been about to be surprised, regained its calm.
"Is this the material for the wedding dress you prepared for Princess Guinevere?"
Altria said softly, with a hint of envy in her tone.
"If you want!"
Lin En said this so quickly and urgently that even Altria, who was standing close by, almost didn't hear it clearly. She withdrew her eyes from the moonlight silk and looked at Lin En, who was a little flustered.
Lin En took a few deep breaths, questioned his heart again, opened his eyes and looked into the pair of eyes hiding the moonlight.
"This is my only chance in this life!"
He looked at her and said:
"This could be used as your wedding dress if you like!"
