Chapter 63: The Red Dragon of Britain (for further reading)
"This movie is about a future virtual game world. In this virtual world, young people can repeatedly experience different paths of life and death. The strange excitement and the high bonuses received after completing the levels have made countless people fascinated and unable to extricate themselves.
But the price of madness is cruel. Those who play excessive games will have their brains completely damaged and eventually become a complete cripple."
"In the play, people call this cursed virtual world 'Avalon,' the paradise of the West and the resting place of the hero King Arthur."
"In the early and middle stages of the film, the director told two very similar stories through the mouths of the protagonist and the administrator."
"The administrator told the first story. The nine sisters, also known as the fairy Morgan, once rescued the injured King Arthur in a black boat and went to the end of the world, which is the eternal place and the boundary between life and death.
island."
"The first story is not the key. The key is that the protagonist uses Norse mythology to express a similar plot - Odin also suffered a shipwreck and drifted to an island. The fairy Morgan rescued him and gave him
A gold ring, Odin will remain young and immortal from then on, but Odin did not realize that when he accepted this gift, Morgan also put a crown of annihilation on his head.
…”
There was silence in the carriage, except for Lu Mingfei's voice describing the plot of the movie.
Bright yellow lights shone from the top of the carriage, heavy shadows passed by the windows, and the sound of old-fashioned trains rolling over the railway became the background.
"The story ends here, and this is the focus of this movie. You two, please use your clever little minds and use your meticulous thinking to reason about the 'Cuiyulu' to tell me, what did you think of from this story?
"
Lu Mingfei took out an orange from Xia Mi's bag and peeled it while asking questions, just like a teacher on the podium waiting for students to hand in papers.
The carriage was silent for a long time.
Chu Zihang, a good student, and Xia Mi, an outstanding student, both fell into deep thought.
They worked hard to combine this story with popular legends they could think of, trying to find a way out of it and Ming Fei's important information hidden inside.
This silence lasted for a long time, until Xia Mi raised his head and whispered:
"In the widely circulated legend of King Arthur, King Arthur's life can be roughly divided into five stages. In his childhood, he was raised by the magician Merlin, in his youth he pulled out the sword from the stone and became king, and then he established the Round Table and had one hundred and fifty Knights of the Round Table.
The glory then ceased. One hundred and fifty knights left one after another, and the empire came to an end. In the end, it was betrayed and died together with its illegitimate son."
"In the legend, King Arthur is the chosen son. He was destined to be king from the moment he was born. He pulled out the sword in the stone that no one can pull out and became the king of England."
"Then the question is, why is it that only King Arthur can draw that sword?"
She raised the first question.
Lu Mingfei threw an orange into his mouth and said vaguely: "This sword is psychic. It knows that Arthur is the chosen one and surrenders voluntarily. The first scoundrel will at least become a prime minister in the future."
Xia Mi rolled her eyes at his perfunctory answer.
"It's blood!"
Chu Zihang's eyes were bright and he said,
"The key to whether you can pull out this sword is your bloodline!"
"There is a key point in this. The person who proposed pulling out the sword from the stone as the criterion for selecting a king was King Arthur's teacher Merlin! He was called a magician by later generations, or...an alchemist!"
"The Sword in the Stone is a living alchemical weapon! Anyone who can pull it out must have a high enough bloodline concentration!"
Xia Mi said with emotion: "I remembered that King Arthur also has another title, the Red Dragon of Britain! Do you know the flag of Wales? It is a red dragon. It is said that this can be traced back to the era of King Arthur!"
"Yes, we are in the Principality of Wales now, and the flag of Wales is also called the Red Dragon Flag." Chu Zihang said solemnly, "If we are based on our current speculation, then King Arthur is also a dragon, and he was killed by a
A dragon family raised by alchemists!”
"A...dragon raised in the human world by a hybrid?" Xia Mi asked in a low voice.
"This is normal. You should have read "The Hidden History of the Dragons". Attila the Hun is the king of the earth and mountains. He spent his youth in the Roman court. At that time, he was called by his bloodline.
A complete awakening.”
Chu Zihang said seriously, "King Arthur was raised by Merlin. As an alchemist, Merlin probably suppressed the awakening of King Arthur's bloodline."
Xia Mi puffed up his cheeks and glared at this guy fiercely in the gap where no one could see him.
Lu Mingfei threw the last orange segment into his mouth, looked out the window, and asked casually: "How many generations do you think King Arthur is?"
Chu Zihang muttered:
"There are two important people around King Arthur, one is the magician Merlin, and the other is his half-sister...Morgan!
"Merlin raised King Arthur from an early age and led him to obtain Excalibur after the sword in the stone broke. He continued to guide him to become a qualified monarch."
"Morgan sent her and Arthur's illegitimate son to Arthur, and planned to kill Arthur many times. However, after King Arthur died, Morgan took Arthur to Avalon as a guardian."
"This is very contradictory. Morgan wanted to get rid of Arthur and ascend to the throne, but after Arthur died, he took him back to Avalon and guarded him throughout his life."
Xia Mi said quietly: "Long, how can you understand Long's thoughts? Maybe he was killed because Morgan loved him so much."
Chu Zihang frowned.
Kill him because you love him too much? What is the logic of this?
But when he turned to look at Xia Mi, he was stunned.
The junior sister who used to jump around like a rabbit in front of him suddenly lay down on the table, staring blankly at the lonely night outside the window, and an imperceptible gloom passed through her eyes.
A hand suddenly appeared between him and Xia Mi.
Lu Mingfei stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Xia Mi's eyes: "Hey, hey! Comrade, why are you so sad for no reason? Are the tears in your eyes blurred by the forbidden love of Morgan and Arthur? Stop it!"
Xia Mi slashed Lu Mingfei's wrist with his sword, stood up with a groan, put his hands on his hips and said, "I'm going to fool you! I just thought of the comic Inuyasha I read before!"
Chu Zihang was silent,
The junior sister has returned to her usual carefree and optimistic self.
His mind was still wandering. One second he was discussing the secrets of Morgan and King Arthur, and the next second he recalled Inuyasha.
But he felt inexplicably...as if the junior sister just now was the most real her.
Chu Zihang wanted to continue the topic just now, and continue to discuss the topic of "killing him because he loves him", but when he opened his mouth, he subconsciously avoided it.
"We now know that the thrones of the dragon clan are all twins. Considering King Arthur's status in historical mythology, it is very likely that he is also the first generation, and Morgan is the other monarch on the throne."
"As for Morgan..." Chu Zihang hesitated, "Morgan is a very complex character. She has appeared in Italian, French and British mythology. Sometimes she is a goddess, sometimes a witch, and sometimes she is
Fairy"
"No, senior brother, you have ignored one factor, the era!" Xia Mi interrupted him for the first time. This chapter has been completed!
