v4 Chapter 16: King Arthur

He is tall and handsome, and there is a mature and warm temperament on his body. If everyone has imagination of the legendary King Arthur, then the one in front of him has perfectly turned these imaginations into reality-King Arthur should be like this . Δ. "Ksnhu". 1a

Compared with Ethan's recognition of his former partner who had become more mature at a glance, it took Arthur some time to recognize that the person in front of him was Ethan.

He is different from Merlin. Merlin can use magic methods to judge who is in front of him from multiple levels. Arthur still relies on his own eyes to match his memories from ten years ago.

"Ethan?"

After looking at it for a while, he was finally sure that the young man in front of him who was already tall and strong, and who had become more handsome, was his former partner.

"You have changed a lot."

"At the beginning I was adventurous with you, a handsome guy, but I was very irritated, so over the years I tried my best to make myself handsome."

Ethan is older than Basser in age. Although we said goodbye this time, more than ten years have passed since Arthur's world, but Ethan has also been tossing hard in many worlds, and many years have passed, both inside and out. The actual age of the two sides has not been reversed because of this.

But after Ethan received the reinforcement, he stabilized his appearance at the golden age of about twenty-four or five, while Arthur is now in his early thirties.

"Have you tried the magical method that you said at the beginning?"

Arthur knew what Ethan was talking about, even after so many years, the not-so-long adventure time was still deeply imprinted in his mind.

"I have been practicing, but unfortunately there is no more and less opportunity to use these abilities."

While speaking, Arthur stroked a few sword hilts with his left hand on his waist, with some sighs, some depression, and a bit of pride in his tone.

The combat skills he worked hard to practice were not useful, proving that his kingdom was well developed, and there was no occasion for him to take action personally, so there was some pride in his words; but the things that he spent a lot of time and energy in practicing did not show. I still feel a little depressed.

Ethan is not concerned about this. Arthur spent some time with himself, and what he learned and saw, even if only a small part of it can be used in his own country, is enough for him to build a powerful kingdom. Now, this kind of thing is not worthy of surprise.

What he cares about is the sword on Arthur's waist.

"Is this the sword in the stone (kaliba) or the sword in the lake (excaliba)?"

Arthur was stunned, looked down at the long sword around his waist, and immediately understood why Ethan would ask this question.

If you want to know how he is doing, you just need to determine which sword is on his waist.

"This is the sword in the stone."

In the legend of King Arthur, these two swords occupy an important position.

Among them, the sword in the stone was the one that Arthur drew from the stone and was crowned king. This sword was later broken when Arthur was in a duel with others, and then Arthur got the sword in the lake under the guidance of Merlin.

Ethan would ask this to determine whether Arthur had changed his future.

Knowing that this gorgeous sabre was a sword in the stone, Ethan knew that Arthur's future had completely changed.

Because the sword in the stone represents the identity of the king, it has complicated and exquisite patterns on its appearance. Just looking at the shape, you should know that it is not a weapon that is really used to fight against people at all. It is a symbol of power and status. The fracture of the sword in the stone It seems to herald the end of King Arthur.

The original King Arthur did not realize this. Even when he later got the sword in the lake, Merlin even reminded the king that the scabbard is more important than the sword. As a result, the original King Arthur didn’t listen to it, and still pressed himself. The idea of ​​doing things eventually came to an end.

But the Arthur in front of him has already understood this truth, especially after knowing that there are more powerhouses in the world, even without Merlin’s reminder, he still made the right choice-he did his best to create a strong one. Kingdom, rather than clinging to the level of personal force.

Even if he didn't have a chance to show his stronger fighting skills, he didn't casually pull out the saber around his waist and let it lie quietly in the scabbard, only to show the majesty of the king when necessary.

The two exchanged simple greetings and didn't say much, but both sides knew the general situation of the other from a few words. It seemed that the tacit understanding of the year was still retained, which made both of them secretly relieved.

Arthur is worried that after so many years, Ethan has changed so much, will he completely become a stranger? In that case, it would be a huge impact on his good memories, and he didn't want the reunion in a long time to come only in exchange for such a result.

Ethan is worried that Arthur, who has become a king, will have a huge change in character and way of doing things. He doesn't know if he can accept this change. After all, staying in a high position for too long can change a person from the inside out.

Fortunately, although the appearance of the two sides has changed a lot, the changes in the bones are not big, and the two quickly regained their original feelings.

At this time, Arthur was also in the mood to look at the other people behind Ethan. He remembered that Ethan had said so many times that he had to find a few more companions on the boat. But compared to more than ten years, these people are not too many. It seems that Ethan is very demanding on his partners.

He was very curious about why these people in front of him were valued by Ethan, but unfortunately he didn't know these people at all, so he just swept around. Only Diana made him stunned a little, because the other party took the initiative to greet him.

"Long time no see, Arthur."

If Ethan’s appearance and physique have changed a lot, but if he can still be seen vaguely, Diana’s changes in Arthur’s eyes are too great—he didn’t recognize it at all. It was a little girl who had learned basic swordsmanship with herself.

"Diana?"

Fortunately, he didn't have many acquaintances in other worlds. Without Ethan, the only time he spent with Diana was the longest, so his first reaction was Diana.

Seeing Diana nodded, Arthur sighed with emotion: "You have changed so much."

Diana's change is not just a big issue, it's like a change of person.

Only Ethan was present who knew the real reason-it was the change of people, not just once. After all, three actors were used to play Diana at different ages, but he wouldn't say this.

Fortunately, there is another acceptable argument, which is that the divine power's optimization and transformation of the body has caused Diana to undergo such an earth-shaking change.

"Almost forgot that you are a demigod."

Then Arthur greeted Ethan's other partners separately. Facing the famous King Arthur, those Evelyn looked a little nervous and excited, while the others were calm.

Regardless of the other party's reaction, Arthur always maintained a perfect smile and a cordial attitude, and he could not see that this was a high-ranking ruler of the kingdom.

Get along more like a warm neighbor, and his enthusiasm will never make you feel uncomfortable.

In short, Arthur left a perfect first impression on everyone, such as Evelyn and Jonathan, who quickly put down their guard against the legendary king. When Arthur asked about Ethan’s experience over the years At that time, Jonathan even took the initiative to help answer some questions.

After a sumptuous lunch, Arthur also had a rough understanding of Ethan’s experience over the years, and also knew that Ethan had already evolved his life form to the level of a demigod—not only his strength increased. The appearance has been optimized, and at the same time he has kept himself stable at his peak state of about twenty-four years old.

"Are you interested in becoming immortal?"

"Of course I am interested." Arthur didn't even think about concealing his true thoughts. He replied very simply: "But not now."

"Oh?"

Although Arthur is still at his peak, when a person's physical function reaches a peak around the age of twenty-eight, it will inevitably begin to decline.

Even if Arthur's diligent exercise and the maintenance of magical power can make this decline very, very slow, a decline is a decline, and no matter how slow it is, it is also a decline.

The decline in physical fitness brought about a full range of effects, and he didn't believe that the king who had to work with the country every day could not feel this kind of change.

He thought Arthur would be happy to accept the reinforcement, but he didn't expect Arthur to say that this kind of thing was not in a hurry.

"I will not accept this reinforcement until everything in the kingdom is on the right track and I find a suitable successor."

Ethan understood that Arthur now had to manage his kingdom like an ordinary king. If the king suddenly became immortal, he might cause unnecessary trouble.

If he waited until he gave the king's position to the heir, it wouldn't matter.

"At that time, I can go to various world adventures with you again, and see all kinds of novel things."

When Arthur said this, , it can be seen that he really missed the life at that time. Even if Ethan had only an ordinary boat at the time, the living environment was definitely not very good. It's far inferior to the taste and comfort he is now in the palace.

"If you wish, you will always have your place on my ship."

Arthur nodded, then shook his head again: "Thinking too far, maybe it's a matter of decades, and it's unlikely that I will surrender the throne in a short time."

Speaking of his kingdom, Arthur suddenly remembered something like: "Before I came out, I had ordered the following to arrange a place to live, and calculate the time. Now I went back and just arranged it just in time for dinner."

After receiving Merlin's notice, he deliberately sent it through the magic circle of the palace and Merlin's residence. Before leaving, he deliberately prepared a place and a rich dinner for Ethan and his partners.
