Just when Kai began to interrogate the assassin, our Arthur became restless again.
Arthur has been imprisoned in the dungeon for almost half a month. As the war progressed during this half month, the significance of Arthur's imprisonment has become less and less. The war has reached this point.
Once in a while, Arthur's handling became a trivial matter.
This incident has gone from Arthur killing people at the beginning to a national war between the two countries! Could it be that King Uther keeps Arthur locked up so that King Odin can feel better and stop?
In this case, King Uther was too lazy to show off. He loved his son, and King Uther believed that Arthur had learned a lesson. In addition, the nobles had already begun to plead for Arthur, so King Uther simply went along with the flow.
He was released. However, after he was released, he was limited to activities in the city of Camelot. He felt sorry for his son, but King Uther was also afraid that his unlucky son would cause him trouble again.
It's a pity that Arthur is the kind of person who follows the rules?
No, didn't King Uther not allow him to go to the front line? There wouldn't be any problem with him hunting in the forest, right? So he took Merlin, whose injury was almost healed, and ran into the forest to hunt.
King Uther originally didn't intend to let Arthur fool around, but after seeing Arthur being locked up in the dungeon for half a month, he knew that he must be exhausted, and there was nothing wrong with relaxing. He himself was very busy, really
There was no time to take care of him, so he simply sent a few mature knights to follow him, just to keep him out of trouble.
But unfortunately, Arthur seems to be born with the trait of causing trouble, and he really caused trouble while hunting.
I don't know what happened, but Arthur woke up a monster while hunting.
The monster woke up from the mist. As soon as it saw Arthur and his group, it began to attack them crazily. The monster was a huge monster with a snake head, a leopard belly, and a lion's hip. It also had a pair of claws similar to those of a deer or a hare.
.When it runs fast, the roar of more than forty hounds will emit from its belly.
Although it is huge, it is not clumsy, on the contrary, it is extremely fast.
Arthur and his party of more than a dozen people were all skilled warriors, but only six of them returned to Camelot alive in the end. This was the reason why the monster did not continue to pursue it after killing enough people.
Otherwise, Arthur himself is not sure whether he can come back alive.
This news is definitely adding insult to injury for Camelot. As the war progressed, Camelot was already stretched thin, and now there are monsters causing trouble and killing people. It is definitely a bad year for Camelot.
When King Uther heard the news, he looked older.
"Based on your description, it is most likely a water-seeking beast!" For such an important event, King Uther naturally needed to brainstorm ideas, so even though it was night, King Uther summoned the court officials and Gaius to discuss. Gaius
After listening to Arthur's narration, Si immediately thought of the origin of the monster.
"But that's just a legend." Arthur said a little surprised. The legend of the water-seeking beast is not uncommon in the Celtic countries. It is spread in many places. Legend has it that the water-seeking beast is a monster that lives in the swamp.
It is very strong and huge, and runs very fast. It likes to live in water. It can cause floods or spread plagues, and those injured by it will have no cure and will surely die.
"According to the records in the Elder Scrolls, something ominous must have happened when the water-seeking beast appeared." Gaius ignored Arthur. He had always been dissatisfied with Arthur's previous actions. If it weren't for his impulsiveness, Kamei would have
Lott's situation would not become so bad, so he just told everything he said he knew.
It's a pity that the "something ominous happened" mentioned by Gaius has stimulated King Uther. There are only two things he cares about most now. One is the war in front of him, and the second is Kai's safety. No matter where these two things are,
He couldn't accept the unfortunate incident, so he subconsciously rejected Gaius's statement.
"Gaius! That's just superstition."
This is also King Uther's current state of mind. Believe it or not, if Gaius said that the monster was auspicious, he would have dared to send someone to sacrifice the monster. He cannot listen to bad words now.
Arthur also disagreed with this statement. He had seen the monster before. In his opinion, the monster was just a little scary and didn't have any special abilities. It was not as evil as Gaius said.
"Whatever it is, people are panicking now, and people are afraid of it breaking into the city."
"Then we have to kill it!" King Uther said categorically. Now that the situation has reached this point, he must make the strongest response, otherwise it will really cause social unrest, and the unlucky ones will be the soldiers on the front line.
.
"Arthur, summon the guards! Set off at dawn."
Arthur naturally had no objections. On the contrary, he was about to fall ill. He wanted to do something to make up for the trouble he had caused. So he immediately followed the order and left. The other people in the room also followed King Uther's instructions.
They all retreated, leaving only Gaius.
Gaius waited until everyone had gone out before he said: "Please, Your Majesty. Don't underestimate it, this monster is a bad omen! I have seen it before! On the night when Queen Igraine died!"
"
This sentence immediately touched King Uther's heart. He said angrily: "I told you not to mention what happened that night again! I have conquered ancient magic, and its warnings have no effect on me!"
After a while, King Uther calmed down a little and then said: "Arthur will kill the monster, and we will not be harmed by it again."
After saying that, he ignored Gaius and turned around to leave.
On the other side, Kai's interrogation of the killer also yielded results.
Kai was shocked when he got the report, oh! He actually caught a big fish, the King of Killers, Mai Rui. This leader is so scary. What’s even more chilling is that this assassination was ordered by King Odin!
But when Kai received this confession, not only was he not panicked, he was actually pleasantly surprised!
I'm so sleepy, someone gives me a pillow!
Now there is hope of quelling the war!
Why?
Because King Odin broke the rules, the unspoken rules among the Celtic kingdoms strictly prohibited assassination of the other royal family! Although this is an unspoken rule, its effectiveness is very strong. No kingdom can tolerate this.
Of course, it’s nonsense to plant the seeds for success. The key point is that if everyone does this, then will the royal families of various countries be able to continue to play happily. Therefore, all countries are very taboo about this.
Now that King Odin is the first to come up with this despicable trick, it gives Kai a reason. He can use this to directly negotiate terms with King Odin, either withdrawing his troops and maintaining peace, or simply doing it so that everyone hurts each other.
!
Isn't it just to hire a killer? Who is afraid of whom? Are you, King Odin, richer than Camelot? If you pay to assassinate me, I will dare to pay double to kill you. Then don't say I'm ungrateful.
It was you who broke the rules in the first place!
Thinking of this, Kai immediately stood up to fight and took the order himself!
"Calling all knights! Let's go to King Odin and ask for an explanation!"
