"I have no choice at all, right?" Ryder whispered, his words full of compromise and helplessness.
But he was very unconvinced. Even if he said the wrong thing and might be hacked to death by Arthur, Rabbit still wanted to ask the matter clearly: "You have hated me from the moment we first met. Why?"
"Everything is to protect Bedivere." Arthur's stern expression deepened: "That child has always been pure. Too pure. Even if he is betrayed or hurt, he will always swallow his anger and let himself go.
Be hurt.
------This is what I really can't stand.
You claim to be his friend in front of him, but you can ruthlessly stab him behind his back - I will never tolerate a villain like you.
Therefore, I have long decided: I will help him guard against all forces that want to deceive him; I will also help him block all forces that want to harm him."
"Hmph, what do you think you are? A friend of justice?"
"No, I'm just a friend of [Bedivere]. In order to protect him, even if I have to become [evil], I'm willing to do it."
Arthur tightened his grip on the hilt of the sword, ready to unsheath the sword at any time and take off the opponent's head.
Ryder also knew very well that at this distance, he would never be able to avoid Arthur's attack. Once the sword was unsheathed, it would definitely hit the target and kill him accurately.
In order to protect Bedivere, Arthur can kill Ryder without hesitation. Even if he will be resented by Bedivere for a lifetime afterwards, Arthur is willing to do so.
------That's the kind of person he is.
Rabbit looked at the knight, knowing that there was absolutely no room for negotiation on this matter. He sighed, "It seems that you have a very deep feeling for Bedi. Okay."
He took out the magic flute from his arms and gave it to Arthur.
Then, he stretched out his right hand and raised the ring finger of his right hand: "Let's do it."
The knight frowned in confusion: "Do it? What do you mean?"
"[The Ring of Time and Space---Andrew Lalotte] itself has a safety device. Once put on, it cannot be taken off from the hand unless the user dies. So------I think, you must
Chopped my fingers off."
"Can others use it after cutting it off?" Arthur asked curiously.
"No, the ring will still be fastened to the chopped off finger. Only when I die will it be truly [liberated]."
Arthur paused for a moment. He drew out his sword and said, "Do I want to give you anesthesia?"
"Did you ask me this question when you cut off my left ear?" Ryder trembled in a low voice, "...Hurry up, the long-term pain is worse than the short-term pain. Please do it quickly, don't
I mistakenly chopped off all my other fingers. You know, without fingers, life would be very inconvenient..."
Arthur ignored Ryder's nagging and raised his sword ruthlessly.
Golden light flashed by.
"Woo!" Ryder felt a lot of pain in his heart. He trembled a few times and planned to take back his bloody hand and bandage it.
But he saw that his hand was intact.
Arthur had already put the holy sword back into its sheath and seemed to have no intention of killing anyone again.
"you------"
"Just keep the ring. Even if you cut off your finger, the nosy Constantine will still put it on for you. There is no point in doing so."
------It's just this magic flute that I want to take away. I must seal it in a safe place and wait for the war to pass."
The bunny boy held his right hand tightly with his left palm, clasping his hands in front of his chest as if praying. He was grateful that his fingers were not cut off, but he was also puzzled by Arthur's openness.
"If you really want to change yourself, treat Bedivere better from now on. At least don't betray him again." The knight sighed seriously, "Let's go. Don't keep them waiting."
"...Thank you. I guess I should say thank you?" Ryder turned around and walked towards the direction of the spacecraft.
Arthur also walked over and said goodbye to everyone on the boat.
"Arthur, we will meet again later." Bedivere hugged Arthur before leaving.
Only then did Arthur realize that Bedi had grown taller again. The little boy who was half a head shorter than Arthur was now almost as tall as Arthur (and Arthur was also growing taller).
"Let's go quickly. Let Vivian seal this in a safe place." Arthur handed the Magic Flute of Hamelon to the werewolf boy, "No matter where you are going next, take care of yourself."
The war will definitely get more intense in the future, and many people will die every day, whether humans or orcs. You will see a lot of death and sadness, and you will see the darkest and cruelest side of the world. Please promise me: Don’t be let go by these darkness
Cover your heart, okay? -------You have to know that even in the darkest places in the world, there is still light. You just need to know how to look for it."
"I understand, Arthur." The werewolf boy quickly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, "Thank you. Goodbye."
"Goodbye." Arthur touched Bedivere's furry wolf head, as if to encourage him. He gave Bedivere a note: "Also, please give this note to Merlin. There are some things I need."
He helped prepare it."
"I know, I will definitely send it to the Master." The werewolf boy carefully collected the note, which seemed to be a treasure handed over by Arthur.
After bidding farewell to the group, the knight turned and looked at King Other behind him: "So, we still have one duel left to end, right? Let's start quickly."
"Don't be impatient, young man." King Other's spirit sneered, his face flushed red by the campfire, "You have just experienced a big battle and your body must be very tired. You should rest for a night first."
I brought the Holy Spirit [The Cabin in the Woods] here specially for you. Is it polite for you to at least use it?"
"It's really troublesome." Arthur had a lot of dissatisfaction in his heart and kept complaining.
But King Other is right, Arthur is really tired. Even with the strong energy brought by the King's Sheath to the knight, the battles in the past few days have still exhausted Arthur's physical strength. He can't even move now.
Muscle pain all over.
"Okay, I'll use that hut." Arthur walked towards the [Hut in the Woods], thinking about how weird it would be to sleep in a house full of barbecue.
He had no way of experiencing this feeling. [The cabin in the woods] had turned into a white brick on the ground as Arthur approached.
Nothing is left.
"Huh?!" Arthur turned his head and glared at King Other in displeasure: "Are you playing another trick?"
"No. This is [The Cabin in the Woods]'s reaction to your [heart]." King Other approached [The Cabin in the Woods].
The cabin began to transform from a white brick back into a log cabin. This cabin was exactly the same as the cabin that Arthur was welcomed into when he first came to Avalon.
"This is the image projected by my [heart]." King Uther looked at the wooden house in front of him and said, "King Uther's true self is actually a person who has no fight with the world and just wants to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests and live a peaceful life.
Man. But times made him take on the responsibility of saving the world, and he spent his entire life trying to seal the [boundless darkness]. ------ This is the portrayal of his [long-cherished wish].
------The werewolf kid wanted to eat barbecue, so he got the barbecue house.
And the girl wanted something sweet, so she got the candy house."
King Author turned to look directly at Arthur: "What about you, knight? What is your [long-cherished wish]?"
You know neither love nor hate, no desire and no soul. What on earth are you?"
