562. Inheritance
Lei and Bedivere were leaving Aaron's carriage. They had booked an entire knight's compartment.
Money provided by Bedivere.
The decoration in the carriage is very luxurious, and there is a small bar with a wide range of alcoholic beverages, most of which are provided free of charge. There are also some very expensive alcoholic beverages, which are sold at normal market prices, and the rich only need to put their money in
Just put it in a small box in the car.
Those who can afford this carriage are basically the rich and powerful who don't care about such small money. The money they leave behind can often be used to get a lot of tips.
Bedivere chose this place not because he really wanted to sleep on the velvet bed in the train. In his opinion, the leather sofa, which was soft enough to sink into, was no different from the floor.
The point is that there is a private space here.
The knight took out a knife and said to Lei, who was sitting opposite the bar, holding ice water:
"Have you ever heard of Bedivere's name before you met me?"
Lei looked embarrassed:
"Are you a big shot?"
Bedivere reminded:
"Haven't you seen Arthurian Legend?"
Lei suddenly realized:
"I've seen it, are you an expert in this field?"
Bedivere asked in disbelief:
"Don't you know the characters in it?"
Lei said:
"I know King Arthur, Vortigern, Gawain, Lancelot, and Mordred, but I can't remember the others clearly."
Bedivere said helplessly:
"Well, there is a knight named Bedivere inside. I am the Knight of the Round Table in history. I once followed King Arthur to defeat Vortigern and fight against the Salo people. After she fell asleep, I disappeared and waited for the opportunity.
Reawaken King Arthur.
"However, during the waiting process, that is, now, a so-called elf named Tanvisji suddenly appeared in Wharton, and he also formed an alliance with George, the son of Vortigern, another Knight of the Round Table.
"Together they held a ceremony to re-elect the king."
Lei actually knew George, but after thinking about it, she finally said nothing.
Bedivere continued:
"I have investigated and found out that the elf named Tanvisji is an evil monster who has caused the death of countless people."
"And I suspected that there was a conspiracy hidden in this, so I went to the home of my former colleague, Gawain, to ask for help, but he rejected me. After that, I headed towards Wharton alone.
"However, Mordred, this traitor found me and severely injured me, making it impossible for me to stop him in this king's election. This is why I fell asleep in front of your house.
"Then I met you, which gave me a bold idea. Do you know how the Knights of the Round Table came to be?"
The girl shook her head.
Bedivere recounted:
"When Vortigern was still alive, in order to fight against his army, King Arthur found several great wizards, including Merlin, and developed a ritual that allowed humans to break through their limits, and exchanged the blood of other great races for...
inside the body, and then gain their powerful characteristics.
"And this power can continue to be passed on through the blood exchange ceremony to quickly create the next powerful knight. The first twenty-four original knights have also been replaced by several. However, with the end of the war, we found it difficult to find someone who can
The inheritor of the inherited power, coupled with the blood exchange ceremony, brings us almost eternal life.
"So after Vortigern died, the Knights of the Round Table never passed on their power to anyone else. I plan to break this tradition, and you will be my successor."
Lei said in surprise:
"Me? But I..."
Bedivere nodded:
"Yes, you are not a warrior, and you may not have the talent for spearmanship. It is difficult for you to learn my fighting skills in a short time, and you have no possibility of becoming a general..."
At this point, he paused, trying to find an embarrassed expression on Lei's face, but the girl continued to listen carefully.
He smiled and shook his head:
"But it is possible that you can persist in the ritual. You have the talent to control the blood in my body. Apart from you, it is difficult for me to find anyone else who is qualified to complete the ritual."
Lei asked:
"possible?"
Bedivere said:
"It may fail, but I will guarantee your life safety. There is no need to be afraid. As long as you can't hold on, you can stop at any time. This is a long and complicated process. Under normal circumstances, it may last from several to hundreds of years. Of course, we
Ways were found in war to facilitate this process."
Lei said hesitantly:
"I didn't realize that I had the ability to control the power you mentioned. I'm just an ordinary girl."
Bedivere encouraged:
"You have almost perfect quality in this era. Although it is far from comparable to the saints of King Arthur's era, it is already extremely rare, and this is a very important part for external forces.
"The nobler your character, the weaker the pain you feel, and this is what I said will cure you."
Bedivere said to Lei:
"Stretch out your hand, with the back of your hand facing up."
Lei put her hands on the bar.
Bedivere pulled out the knife inserted on the table, and then gently touched the skin on the back of Lei's hand.
"Hold it."
He gently scratched Lei's skin and drew a small magic circle. The girl's face twitched, but she did not show any fear or flinch.
Bedivere knew he had found the right person.
Then he cut his wrist, and the wound expanded and contracted like breathing. Blood slowly flowed out of it, dripping on the back of the girl's fresh hand, and then poured into the gaps in the magic circle in an instant. Then soon, the magic on the back of Lei's hand
The formation also slowly disappeared.
The girl wrinkled her nose.
The knight asked:
"Does it hurt?"
Lei said:
"fine."
This process will be accompanied by a burst of severe pain, which is the body's protest against this unnatural change, but the girl behaves extremely calmly.
Of course, for Bedivere, he can endure this level of pain and then concentrate on reading books, but he is a knight and a warrior.
Lei has the potential to become an excellent knight.
Bedivere asked:
"How do you feel now? You will have to endure this pain for a long time."
Lei felt the pain on her arm:
"It's a bit like someone pricking my skin with a needle. It's a novel experience, but in terms of severity, it's much better than when I was sick when I was a child.
"When I was a child, if I could reduce the pain to this level for ten minutes, I would laugh out loud with joy."
What she said was true,
Just as the knight was about to continue asking questions, suddenly, the entire carriage shook violently, and with a roar, the wine bottles in the freezer shattered into glass shards.
