"Really? That's gratifying." Grand Duke Hall said absently.
"What's so gratifying? Don't tell me that you've been playing chess with this cat here and you don't care about what's going on outside?!" Arthur said angrily, "Your castle was blown up."
What a wall! Dozens of your knights were killed or injured!?"
"Well, okay." Celestial Knight Hall still agreed coldly, but his eyes were not willing to leave the chessboard even half an inch.
"Meow." Wallace moved a knight.general.
"Uh ah ah ah! Lost again! Arthur! Don't quarrel with me, I even lost the chess game!" Grand Duke Hall scolded Arthur in turn, "Don't get in the way! Get out of here!"
"Meow!" Wallace shouted to Arthur, seemingly dissatisfied.
"It's hard to believe!" Arthur walked out of the chess room angrily.
He looked at the Gaia knight Kador who happened to be passing by: "What's going on with your captain? He becomes so forgetful when he plays chess that he doesn't even know that the sky is falling?!"
"You can only play chess with Wallace." Gaia Knight Kador said with a bitter smile, "Because that was the rare time he spent with his son."
Arthur was speechless. He regarded cats as his sons. This old man's love for cats has reached a morbid level.
And it's a Persian cat that can play chess... Just thinking of that damn cat standing in front of the chessboard with its noble and cool face made Arthur feel a little angry.
What made Arthur most angry was that he was completely defeated by a cat, and that Hall would rather play chess with a cat than with him...these two indisputable and annoying facts.
7 p.m., medical room.
"Woo..." Paramedis (Corvis) was lying on the bed, watching the surgeon Merlin use magic to treat his severely injured internal organs.
"I can temporarily cure you now. But the injuries you have accumulated time and time again have left serious sequelae to your internal organs." Merlin warned, "You can no longer run at the same speed.
, you can only maintain half the original speed at most. If you run too fast, your internal organs will rupture, and you will really die next time."
"I understand, Master." Palamedes said calmly, "It doesn't matter, I have no reason to fight anymore. My sons are back, and my wish has been fulfilled. I plan to find a place to settle down."
Good luck to Sefir and Seglade, and then live some quiet life."
The Leopard Man warrior looked at his two sleeping sons beside him, and a glimmer of hope ignited in his eyes that were originally full of despair.
"Who allowed you to give up?" Arthur walked into the medical room, "Covey... Paramedis, you still have to help me. There is a battle tomorrow that needs it no matter what."
Your power."
"Don't force him, Arthur." Merlin said, "His body needs more rest, rather than fighting and killing."
"Then cure him quickly, Merlin." Arthur said in a commanding tone, "Tomorrow we need to destroy another fox man's research institute."
"Are you crazy? The day after tomorrow will be a battle between you and Grand Duke Hall!" Paramedis said, "If you are injured------"
"You don't need to worry about the duel between me and Grand Duke Hall." Arthur sneered disdainfully, "But think about it, if there is another research institute continuing the research on super soldiers...even
That kind of research on dark sub-monsters? ------The sooner we destroy such a research institute, the better?
Otherwise, the foxes will only create more dark sub-monsters, and more victims will become like Zeffel (Torvir). Can you tolerate such a thing?"
Palamedes clenched his fists, his heart still throbbing with rage.
"I want you to use your speed to kill all the guards and researchers in the institute, leaving no one alive." Arthur said, "Although it's only half the original speed - can you do it?"
Palamedes gritted his teeth, "As long as half the speed is enough. You are right, I still have to settle the score with the old fox leader of the Romani tribe."
"If we are lucky enough to meet him, his life will be yours." Arthur sneered.
"Merlin." Arthur turned to look at the master.
"Well, let's find a place where no one is around to chat again," Merlin said.
Ten minutes later, the two came to the battle conference room of the Southern Sky Knights. Merlin cast a detection magic to see if anyone was eavesdropping. Then he said, "The [Fourth Miracle] you activated today was indeed with me."
Is it related to Bedivere’s necklace?”
"Indeed, it's that necklace again." Arthur said.
That necklace saved Bedivere countless times, and it triggered all kinds of incredible events. The small white stone on the necklace was emitting a strong white light, and this light even resonated with the Sword of the King, eventually triggering [Fourth
Miracle]------Kama (destiny) creates.
"Tell me, Merlin, what is that stone?" Arthur asked with a straight face.
"It's just a replica." Merlin took out another necklace from his arms, which was also inlaid with a white stone. However, this stone looked more ethereal, emitting a purer white shimmer.
"This stone, I call it the [Stone of Hope]. It is... a relic left by my wife to me. It has [some] use. I have been trying to copy a lot of it, but all failed."
.
The one I gave to Bediwell was a failed copy, at least that's what I thought at the time. That incomplete copy made Bediwell's replica of the hope stone basically useless, with just a slight addition.
It’s just the wearer’s tolerance to photons, as I said a long time ago.”
"Why on earth?" Arthur asked.
"That stone gradually produced some unpredictable changes while it was with Bedivere...or rather, with you, Arthur." Merlin held his chin and analyzed, "It gradually
Evolved to the point where it can [produce variables in time and space]."
"I do not understand------"
"I will try to make two more replicas, one for Bedivere and one for you." Merlin said, "Although I don't know what it will turn out to be, it's worth a try, right?"
"...Okay." Arthur said, and then he changed the topic: "So, what is the use of your original stone?"
Merlin was stunned for a moment. He didn't know whether he should tell Arthur or how to make Arthur understand. He thought for a long time before finally speaking:
"This stone of hope... it can reset the world. It can completely rewrite the cycle of Kama.
------It is the ultimate form of [The Fourth Wonder]."
