When he heard someone calling his name, Kai raised his head. Although it was quite impolite to raise his head without getting a response from the king, Kai was too familiar with King Uther, so he didn't care about it at all.
Anyway, he was sure that King Uther would not punish him for this trivial matter, even though King Uther had always been known as a tyrant.
"Arthur?" Kai said a little uncertainly when he saw the big boy with blond hair in front of him. After all, Arthur was only eight or nine years old when he left. Ten years is enough time for a person to completely change.
"It's really you! Kai!" Arthur didn't care so much. After confirming that the person in front of him was his brother, Arthur completely ignored the royal etiquette and rushed over recklessly, hugged him and stood up.
Kai. "It's really you! My brother. I knew it, I knew it, you wouldn't break your promise! You're really back! You're really back."
Kai stood up and caught his reckless brother a little helplessly. For such a big man, he still likes to jump on others, and he doesn't know where he learned it. But after hearing Arthur's excited words,
, Kai also put away his helpless expression, but hugged Arthur with a smile, and patted Arthur's back hard.
"Of course! Knights never break their promises!"
After hugging for a while, Kai put Arthur down. Arthur also noticed something wrong at this time. There was nothing wrong with the hug, but it was a bit ugly to jump on someone else. No matter what, he Arthur
He is also a qualified knight, no longer a child.
After putting down Arthur, Kai walked towards King Uther with a smile. Although King Uther was also very excited, if he wanted him to be as ungraceful as Arthur, it would be better to kill him. Of course Kai knew that King Uther was
I have a habit of saving face, so I decided to take the initiative to say hello.
Kai walked up to King Uther, hugged him, then patted King Uther and said softly: "I'm back, Uther."
At this time, King Uther stretched out his hand tremblingly, gently stroked Kai's hair, and said in a slightly excited voice: "It'll be good to come back, it'll be good to come back."
…
Faced with this incident, the crowd also began to whisper. Some people who were confused about the situation were asking privately what was going on.
Merlin was one of them. He secretly pulled Knight Lyon's arm and asked, "What on earth is going on? Who is this Kai?"
Leon saw that Merlin was pulling him, so he explained in a low voice: "That is King Uther's adopted son, Sir Ector's third son, Sir Kay, known as the Lion Knight. He left ten years ago
Camelot, said he wanted to travel around the world. I didn’t expect to come back today.”
Because the occasion was inappropriate, Leon did not go into details, but gave a general explanation. This was Merlin too. If it had been any other servant, Leon would have wasted his words.
Merlin is very special in Camelot. Although he is a servant, his status is not low. First of all, he is the apprentice of Gaius, the palace pharmacist. In Camelot, Gaius has a high reputation. This learned man
The pharmacist not only has outstanding medical skills, but is also an important advisor to the king, so he has a very high status. Secondly, Merlin is also the prince's attendant. In the palace, the position of attendant has great potential for development. After all, he is the closest person to the prince.
Although Merlin is a commoner, that may not be the case when Arthur comes to the throne.
What's more, Arthur and Merlin have a very good personal relationship, which can be seen from the fact that Arthur takes him with him everywhere. At least Leon will not treat him as an ordinary servant.
Merlin also understood that the Knight of Lyon could not tell him too much at this time, but someone else finally told him the key information. Anyway, all he needed to know was that the knight named Kai was extremely close to King Uther's family.
However, Merlin was also a little surprised as to why Arthur had never told him about Kai before.
…
King Uther is not a king who likes warmth. On the contrary, this old-fashioned and stubborn middle-aged man is not used to expressing his feelings. So after the short-term warmth, King Uther immediately suppressed the excitement in his heart. He coughed.
After a few sounds, he pointed at the unconscious griffin and gave orders to the others: "Kill this monster!"
After giving the order, King Uther grabbed Kai's hand and planned to take his adopted son back to the palace.
"Wait! Don't kill it, I had a hard time catching it!" Kai hurriedly stopped the soldiers. "My King, this is my prey, and I have the right to deal with it."
Hearing Kai's cry, almost everyone looked at this warrior in stunned silence. The warrior here is not only because Kai dared to fight the griffin and defeated it, but also because he dared to openly oppose Uther.
The king's command.
In Camelot, there are fewer people who dare to do this than warriors who dare to fight griffins.
But what is surprising is that King Uther did not order the punishment of the person who dared to oppose him as usual, but asked with a puzzled look: "This is a monster, what do you want it to do? It is too dangerous."
, Kai. The best way to deal with such monsters is to kill them."
King Uther's attitude surprised everyone, including Merlin. This was not the King Uther they had in mind. Especially Merlin, as a mage, he actually resented and even hated King Uther's treatment of magic.
Attitude, in Merlin's eyes, those who were executed for magic were all his kind. Many of them did not do evil, but they were all sent to the guillotine by King Uther.
It can be said that King Uther, who has always been tough and cold, became rare and reasonable when facing Kai. In Merlin's impression, even Arthur cannot disobey King Uther's orders, let alone
He opposed King Uther's orders in public.
"I need a mount. My horse was eaten by this guy. This guy made me walk for five days and five nights, and..." Kai pointed to the armor on his body. "Besides this thing, I
It feels like there is nothing that can carry me..."
Only then did King Uther have the intention to take a closer look at Kai's armor.
This set of armor was very gorgeous, full of exquisite patterns and some runes he didn't recognize. King Uther didn't think any craftsman in the British Isles could forge such carving and forging techniques.
Of course, King Uther was also very concerned about the thickness of the armor. This thickness was far greater than that of ordinary knight armor. So King Uther also believed what Kai said. A set of this thing weighs at least three to four hundred pounds, and ordinary horses cannot carry it.
