Vortigern died, and out of respect for his opponent, Arthur buried him in the big pit created by his fall.
Anno put the fragments of chalk in a package, hung them on his chest together with the empty scabbard, and carried the seriously injured and unconscious Gawain on his back.
Together, the three of them found the soldier responsible for the response and returned to Camelot.
After arriving in Camelot, Merlin made an unprecedented return trip.
In recent years, Merlin has rarely appeared in Camelot.
He came back to treat the injuries of the three people. All three people were injured in this battle.
Gawain's internal organs were severely injured, his right leg and thigh were fractured, several ribs were broken, and there were obvious traumas to his back and back of his head, making him the most serious injury.
Arthur suffered some bone fractures in his left wrist, not much external injuries, and some displacement of his internal organs.
Annuo's left arm was broken again, but it was not serious. His internal organs were also displaced, and a large area of skin was burned all over his body.
After this battle, Arthur understood her shortcomings. As the king of Britain, she did not have an excellent weapon. It was precisely because of this that she almost failed to kill Vortigern at the last moment.
She asked her obscure court magician where she could get powerful weapons.
Merlin responded with a smile: "When the injury is healed, I will help you get your destined weapon."
...one month later.
Merlin took Arthur and Annuo to the holy lake.
Annuo stood by the lake, threw the pieces of chalk into the lake, and sighed.
Chalk will come to an end here.
It will also usher in a new life here.
The three of them watched in silence as the fragments of chalk sank to the bottom of the lake, as if they were watching a friend.
When the fragments of chalk were completely invisible, Merlin stepped forward, picked up a sword with a scabbard from the water, and handed it to Arthur.
Arthur pulled out the sword, admired it carefully, and played with it.
The golden and blue hilt is like a sword body made of precious stones, which is extremely beautiful.
Arthur tried to wave it and danced with sword flowers.
Merlin introduced: "This is a divine weapon forged from the core of the planet, Excalibur, the Broken Steel Sword, you can also call it -"
"The Sword of Promised Victory."
Arthur looked at the sword in his hand with satisfaction.
Merlin looked at Arthur who was admiring the sword and thought of something.
He asked seriously: "Arthur, my king, do you want to choose the sword to protect Britain, or the scabbard to protect Britain?"
"King, think about it first and choose carefully." An Nuo said without knowing why.
Arthur smiled confidently, without hesitation: "If you are protecting Britain, you must choose the sword!"
Merlin sighed and said regretfully: "The scabbard is more precious than the blade. It is the concept of the land of fairies. It is a defense that cannot be broken through. Arthur, you must protect it well.
Don’t lose it.”
Arthur nodded, put Excalibur back into the scabbard of Avalon, and said to Anno: "Then, Sir Anno, I will go back first. The war has just ended, and Camelot needs me."
An Nuo knelt down on one knee: "I understand, King."
Arthur turned and left the holy lake, leaving Merlin and Anno behind.
Two old guys were sitting by the holy lake, waiting for the rebirth of chalk.
"It's such a pity that the king chose the sword." Merlin sighed a little.
"It doesn't matter." An Nuo didn't care. "If you choose the scabbard of Shoucheng, then the king will no longer be the king."
"It was precisely because of this confidence and determination that she was able to pull out the sword in the stone."
