Chapter 294: The King’s Chapter (The Beginning) The Search for the Path to the End (Part 1)
Ten years ago, in the square of King's National Park in London.
The woman was burned to ashes in the fire.
But she always endured the pain in her body and never let out a scream.
The fire burned for ten days and ten nights before the woman was burned to ashes. She was a monster with super recovery ability. People were frightened by this monster and issued all kinds of vicious curses.
The child was actually always present, watching in the dark how his mother died.
Someone, in order to prevent the boy from screaming and revealing his whereabouts, tied him behind his back with a rope, stuffed his mouth with a cloth, and covered him with a cloak. This was the basic condition for taking him to that square to see his mother for the last time.
.
Because of this, the boy could do nothing but cry.
On the first day, people threw all kinds of rotten tomatoes, rotten eggs, leftover vegetables and garbage at the woman. They used this childish method to express their disgust to the woman, even though the woman had never hurt anyone among them.
On the third day, stupid people are still repeating this practice, but obviously fewer people are doing it. People will be tired, and rotten tomatoes and rotten eggs will be out of stock.
On the fifth day, fewer people were watching, and fewer people showed disgust. Some of them were just indifferent.
On the night of the seventh day, there was almost no one in the square. Except for a few guards here and there, only the old man and the boy came to the square in a low-key manner.
The woman looked at the boy and kept muttering in the flames:
"It's okay, Arthur. Mom doesn't feel any pain at all. This little thing will pass soon."
The boy could do nothing but cry quietly.
On the ninth day, the boy still came here to look at his mother. The mother was dying and probably burned to cokes, but those responsible for the execution were still afraid that the monster was still alive and did not dare to extinguish the flames rashly. The boy quietly
Looking at the figure of the woman in the flames, his tears had dried up and he no longer knew what sadness was.
On the tenth day, the soldiers finally extinguished the flames. The woman who had completely turned to ashes in the field was blown by the cold winter wind and immediately turned into ashes and flew towards the boy.
He tried his best to break free from the rope in his hand, and used the hand that was broken by the rope to catch the ashes flying in the air. But it was in vain.
The moment the ashes slipped away from the boy's hands and were completely lost in the biting cold wind, the boy completely lost his heart.
For him, reality seems like lies and is no longer worth cherishing. He denies reality and closes himself in his own world. He does not know the joy, anger, sorrow and joy, and therefore does not know the pain.
He thought that by abandoning everything, he could escape from the pain.
------Until the moment of being saved.
When Arthur woke up again, it was already the next day.
This is the medical room of the Eastern Sky Knights? Arthur recognized this place from the pattern on the building's ceiling.
That's right, it's Elsenburg.
He slowly got up. The wounds all over his body were in excruciating pain. Some were healed but were still hurting, and some were not completely healed and were still hurting.
Living is so full of pain. But Arthur knows that he can no longer choose to be numb.
In this world full of pain, there must be some way to relieve this pain. Choosing to be numb and sealing the pain deeper in the heart is nothing but self-deception. If you do this, the world will never change.
There was no point in being numb; there was no point in just shouting furiously. He was confused and didn't know what to do next.
Arthur, who had been carefully calculating his own life up to now, suddenly lost his goal.
While he was depressed, he also thought of Bedivere.
Rescue Bedivere from Morgoth, it seems that this is what is left of Arthur, the last mission------
"Oh, are you awake? My king." Palinloer walked in, and his attitude suddenly became respectful.
"Who is the king? Who is going to be the king?" Arthur said disdainfully. He looked at Palinloer who was covered in thin bandages. This guy has amazing recovery ability. I'm afraid the hands and feet that were chopped off before will be put back together.
What happened in a moment is really enviable.
"Stop saying that," Palinlor waved his hand, "Since you have defeated all the heavenly knights, becoming the king is a sure thing. Now you just need to wait for the approval of the parliament."
"I don't think the parliament will pass it. They will make small moves again." Arthur looked disdainful and looked at the Sword of the King that was broken into two parts.
"Where's Kai?" he asked suddenly.
"Knight Kai said he was going to return the broken Demon Sword of Extinction, and he had already set off early in the morning." Palinloar said, "Come on, Arthur. Freshen up and get ready for breakfast. There are many dignitaries who want to talk to you."
Wang had breakfast together."
"No, you can do whatever you want. In short, drive away those people." Arthur put away the broken golden sword, "Where are my friends?"
"They are in another courtyard. Let me take you there," Palinloer said.
Arthur followed Palinlor with mixed emotions and arrived at a courtyard of the castle. Since it was still very early, Tristan and others were still eating breakfast listlessly.
Arthur sat down, picked up the bread and ate it.
"Oh, Arthur." Tristan saw Arthur coming and asked quickly: "Is there any plan to rescue Bedivere? Let's act quickly!"
Arthur ignored Tristan and instead looked at Palamedes and his two children: "Why are your children still here?! Didn't you say you were going to find a place to settle them?"
"Uh, I'm sorry, something small happened. I have been dealing with it, so I can't let them go." The leopard man soldier smiled bitterly, while looking at the two children next to him who were still devouring their food.
"What are you doing here again?" Arthur looked at the evil star next to him again. This stupid dragon didn't know the lesson and turned into a teenager again, eating breakfast there as if nothing had happened.
"However, this look is more convenient than the shrunken dragon, and it also looks better -------" Jin Shining Shine was making nonsense.
"...As you wish." Arthur quickly finished the breakfast, "Eat quickly, and then take me to a place after eating."
"I'm not your means of transportation. I'm already exhausted from yesterday's battle. Just let me take a rest today." Evil Star protested.
Arthur looked annoyed and was about to have an attack, but Palinlor next to him came out to finish the scene: "There is transportation here, use my dragon rider. Although it is an old machine, it is well maintained."
"Dragon Cavalry...an enhanced version of the Iron Cavalry?" Arthur felt a little itchy after hearing this. He had never touched the Iron Cavalry since he was expelled from the Knights of the North by Leon Dickens.
Arthur has always been attached to the fast gunboats like the Iron Cavalry. He always felt that riding on the machine was more comfortable than riding on the back of a dragon. Now Palinloer took the initiative to let him drive the Dragon Cavalry, which was certainly a wish.
