Sibal was a little confused, so we quickly helped the old man sit down on the bench. After the old man sat down, I first asked: "Excuse me, are you Malik, the younger brother of Archmage Merlin?"
Hearing this, Laura opened her mouth in surprise: "Henmo, what are you talking about? Malik is Merlin's younger brother? Merlin's younger brother, so he has to be alive to this day... I don't know how old he is, right?"
Laura said, counting her fingers, she couldn't tell Malik's age.
"Four hundred and seventy-seven years old, my son." Malik said with a smile.
Laura and Sibal could no longer close their mouths, and stared blankly at the old man in front of them. Ever since I heard Culkin mention the name Malik on the edge of the cliff, I had already guessed that Malik should be Gaines.
The mentioned Merlin's younger brother, but I couldn't explain it clearly at that time, so I didn't explain it to them in detail.
Malik looked at the stage and slowly said to us: "I have been here for hundreds of years, just to wait for this moment, to unlock the answers in your hearts, and to meet old friends by the way." Malik finished.
When he looked at me with these words, his deep eyes seemed to penetrate my body and hit my soul directly.
I was afraid that Malik would discover Gaines' secret, so I leaned back and said, "I don't understand what you mean."
After hearing this, Malik chuckled, pointed at me with his crutch and said, "It's okay, Henmo, he and I are good friends. How about, old friend, come out and meet me?"
Among the people present, only Sibal didn't know Gaines' secret, so he looked at Malik and then at me without knowing what was going on. Malik stared at my chest, and after a while, Gaines was rising in a puff of smoke.
Appeared in the middle, he bowed deeply to Malik respectfully: "Dear Master Malik, the student did not want to do anything in his class, but he was forced by the situation. Please forgive me for my offense."
At this time, Sibal either vomited too hard and did not recover, or he was frightened. He fell to the ground and fainted. Laura helped him in time and put him on a chair. Malik saw this
, took out a bottle of milky white potion from his loose robe, walked slowly to Sibal, and dripped the potion into his nostrils.
As the medicine was inhaled, Sibal sneezed suddenly and woke up. I comforted Sibal and said: "Don't worry Sibal, it's okay. Although my ancestor has a sinister appearance, he is still bald, and unlike
A good person, but he is very kind." I took the opportunity to tell Sibal all my personal belongings in my words.
Gaines was completely damaged by me and was furious. However, due to Malik's presence, he could only stare. I glared back at him unceremoniously.
Malik laughed when he saw it, returned to the bench and sat down and said, "Guy, I didn't expect that your Corinan family is still everyone's pistachio."
Even though Gaines has lived a long time, he is still a generation shorter in front of Malik, so he still treats him with respect.
Malik then said: "Get your stuff out."
Laura and I took off the daggers from our waists and handed them to Malik. Malik looked up and down and said to us: "Let's do this. I know you have a lot of problems, but now I will solve your first problem first."
One question, the story of these two swords."
"After King Arthur took over the supreme power of Camelot, at the suggestion of my brother Merlin, he stopped hunting and persecuting magicians. This move won a lot for young Arthur, who had just taken power at the time and was not yet stable.
The support of upright magicians. When I and the first batch of magicians in the Forgotten Land heard the news, we were also very happy, so we began to slowly relax the blockade of Metmont Mountain and allow the mountain people to
Go as far as the mountainside to hunt or do other work. Among them are a group of outstanding craftsmen. They discovered that there are huge iron ore veins in Metmont Mountain. After getting the consent of the Forgotten Land, they started mining here.
Smelting iron and making tools, Sivar's ancestors settled here.
"Later, Arthur led his Knights of the Round Table and the Knights of Camelot to mediate conflicts everywhere, hoping to find a way to eternal peace on the British continent. This idea received strong support from my brother. At that time
Arthur happened to pass by the foot of Mount Metmont with his twelve Knights of the Round Table, so I went down the mountain to meet Arthur in person."
"Wait a minute, I remember hearing the bards say that there were not fifteen Knights of the Round Table?" I interrupted Malik.
Laura gave me a serious look, and I realized how rude I was and quickly apologized.
Malik waved his hand and continued: "Yes, there were a total of fifteen Knights of the Round Table, but at the peak of Arthur's life, there were only twelve Knights of the Round Table. Among them was the owner of this sword, Mo
Dredd.”
"Then can you tell me what this sword is about?"
"At that time, Arthur was mediating conflicts and preaching peace, which brought his reputation to the peak in various countries in Britain, and the reputation of the Knights of the Round Table was also resounding throughout the world. After coming to Metmont Mountain, Arthur liked the work of the craftsmen here very much.
The craftsmanship, especially the weapons crafted by Maury Ambrose, Sivar's ancestor, is even more ingenious.
"So, King Arthur stayed at the foot of Mount Metmont for a long time and asked Maury Albroath to make armor and swords for him and his Knights of the Round Table. Maury Albroath admired this young, talented and bold newcomer.
The king, therefore, worked day and night to build armor for them. However, when he was building the sword of the last Knight of the Round Table, Mordred, a strange thing happened. No matter how he made this sword, it would fail every time.
It broke apart in the middle of the fight. Maury Abros was very puzzled, so he went up the mountain to find me in the middle of the night and asked for my help. I searched all over ancient books, but could not find the answer. Finally, I thought of a method, and
It was this method that caused a series of subsequent tragedies to occur."
Speaking of this, Malik seemed to blame himself very much. His voice was choked. After a long time, he continued: "At that time, I was young and energetic, and I respected Arthur, so I thought of a way to make this sword.
.”
"Dragon Breath?" Gaines seemed to have guessed something.
Malik nodded: "Guy is right. At that time, on Mount Metmont, there was also the only remaining ancient dragon in the world - Dragon, who lived with the magicians in our forgotten land. I took him with me.
The two daggers Morrie gave me were brought to me, and I found Dragon and asked him to use dragon breath to help me, but Dragon refused me without even thinking about it.
"I didn't understand why, so I kept asking Dragon firmly. Finally, Dragon was moved by my sincerity and agreed to help me forge swords, but he only agreed to help me cast one of the swords. The other sword must be made by Mori himself.
To re-forge it, he promised not to destroy the sword's casting.
"At this point, I realized that it was Dragon who was destroying the swords before, but he refused to tell me the reason. After helping me forge one of the swords, he told me to let Mori and I keep it a secret.
This sword was forever locked in Mori's box and could not see the light of day. Mori could only give Mordred another sword that he forged himself. Although I couldn't understand it, I still chose to abide by Gu Long's words.
"Later, I heard that Mordred used this sword to assassinate Arthur during an expedition. At that time, I regretted it very much. I regretted that I did not follow Gu Long's teachings and went my own way. I always felt that it was me who killed Arthur. My brother Merlin
After destroying the witch Morgana, I came to Mount Metamont and told me that Mordred used a sword cursed by black magic to cause the tragedy of rebellion, and that Morgana also borrowed black magic.
"So our brothers went to find Gu Long together to find a way to make amends, but Gu Long not only refused to help, but also got angry. In the end, my brother and I joined forces and fought a big battle with Gu Long. The process was very tragic, and the top of Mount Metmont was blown up.
Halfway through, the original dragon's lair was also destroyed, and the result was barely a draw. My brother and I were both seriously injured, and the ancient dragon was also dying. Later, my brother left this world not long after he returned."
