Chapter 176: Waiting

In half a year, Qing spent two full quarters to recuperate, and various indicators of his body also pushed to the level of recovery, that is, Qing could stand up again, wield a sword, and fight fiercely. ------- might be a good thing.

Standing in front of the window and looking at everything about Camelot, no matter how many times you look at it, the white walls, the thick and jagged towers, and the greenery contained in them, no matter what season they are, they are all unique and beautiful. Just like when I arrived, the early spring sun melted the snow and ice and brought the whole castle to life.

Elna's life was over, and it was in the winter of last year that Merlin's tower sent a message that her death had become a foregone conclusion because of the recurrence of an old injury, and the person concerned missed the treatment time without informing her. It was a snowy day, the whole castle emitted a hazy white light, and after receiving the blessing of the Great Pope, the huge iron coffin was carried out of the Great Hall by a hundred Knights of the Round Table. But everyone was silent, and the castle of Camelot, including the town outside the castle, was silent, completely dead silent.

Later, before the burial, all the people present showed their respect and regret, and even the hundred disciples asked for a recall from all over the world. It was an unprecedented funeral dedicated to a respected mentor and the person in everyone's heart.

As a person concerned, he could only stand in the tower from afar and watch them perform this mournful funeral, watching them bury their huge coffins next to the church on the outskirts of the city. Qing, who was watching at that time, could only watch quietly, because he couldn't make a personal expression at all. It was like laughing in their hearts, laughing that they were just burying an empty tin can. There is also grief, this will be a funeral for himself in advance, because in the future he will not leave anything at all, but watch quietly----------

The great snow season is full of people who remain sad, but the new spring brings new hope. The army led by King Arthur once again defeated the Saxon invasion and defeated them fiercely, which had three strategies, Qingdu was unable to participate because his body could not recover for the time being, and only Egger galloped on the battlefield under the name of the first knight, and was highly respected by the people. However, he became silent after that time, and even though he often returned to the tower, the two of them basically didn't say a word when they saw each other, only silently went their separate ways. The only time Egg spoke to Qing was when Ranmarok was pushed to the Third Knight, and the one who was on the second Knight's seat was Lancelot, who wounded him, and as soon as he appeared, he asked the king for the duty of besieging the royal family, and after deliberation, Artoria agreed to this request. As for why most people have chosen, in addition to his amazing martial arts, his taciturn and meticulous penetration, like a perfect knight, makes people feel reassured from the bottom of their hearts. And he also went to that funeral, and Qing could see that he had been in the cemetery for a long, long time. It's like repentance, and it's like talking. From then on, he would go every night and return to the castle at dawn.

"Spring is the most dazzling season of the year, and it is also full of sentimentality. There are some things in Qing--------- that I have been thinking about for a long time. You're right, alive or dead, there will be nothing left at all, only you can take it with you. --------I think I only have remorse---------"

Iger didn't know when he was already standing behind him, like Morgan's displacement magic, or maybe he had been comfortable for too long and forgot the need to be vigilant at all times. But fortunately, Egger will not be malicious, otherwise life and death will not necessarily be inevitable!

"You're upset right now, aren't you? In fact, I'm the same, I still hold on to old things, but I'm such a person, there are some things that I may not be able to let go of for the rest of my life! --------So this time I'm here to say goodbye to you. --------”

He walked silently to the wall, leaning quietly against the wall by the window, his eyes staring at the various carvings of Merlin's roof, nostalgic, thoughtful, and complex, these lights radiated without concealment. Qing standing beside him like a big dumpling can be seen clearly

"I've been thinking about it for ----- half a year, thinking about the things I've given up. I want to try again this time, so now you're ready. It is also the time when I can leave, I will go out to sea to find that legend in the clouds. -------Although I don't know if I can come back yet, but your path, I believe you will keep going. ”

He looked sad, like a drowning man drowning in a viscous liquid, helpless, but not going to sink immediately, and the rope that saved his life also wanted to kill the water snake. He leaned quietly, indescribably quiet, heavy, unfortunate.

"You can choose not to speak, I know what you're thinking, I don't need any mercy. I'm just here to say goodbye and give you back these weapons of yours, they're sharp, but I don't need them anymore, and I've made some improvements in them-------- I hope you'll like it."

Iger just walked away, just putting on a wide cloak with a hood and going out the door. He didn't bring anything with him, and he didn't pack up the utensils of his life. Quietly, alone------------

Stroking the blade in his hand, it was cold and piercing, just like the mood of Qing now. The bustling tower becomes deserted, and Merlin and Morgan often appear, but they also leave again in a hurry. He lives alone, a tower that was once full of laughter.

Qing walked to Merlin's bookshelf, the books were still those books, there was no change or movement, but there was only one person. Pushing open the hidden switch of the bookshelf, with the sound of the mechanical gears, the bookshelf was pushed open horizontally, and inside was a deliberate space that was folded and distorted by space. Pieces of exquisite armor are displayed in it, some have seen and some have not seen it. I didn't add it, and I even knew at a glance that Qing himself would definitely not fit, and Merlin never introduced himself to the origin of these armors. It's just a piece of decoration.

Reaching out and gently touching the fierce wolf iron armor that he had been accustomed to, the display magic also reacted, automatically controlling the armor stomach to wear on Qing's body. The shroud-like strip of cloth on Qing's body has no intention of dismantling, after all, this is also an indispensable and important part of himself.

"When spring comes, the forest will also be teal. As your teacher, I'm glad you cheered up and also respect your choice, and I'm relieved that you didn't choose to back down. ”

Merlin stood in front of the window, his eyes looking out of the window, as if he was looking at something, as if he was not paying attention to thinking about anything. But the smile on his lips didn't look like he was about to die.

"He's already gone,------- but it's a hundred years late----- hum hum~ In this case, I should also set off for the sea, and I won't be back for a short time. I hope you can take good care of this tower, but there are many people who are dissatisfied with me as well. I don't want to wait for me to come back and be turned into a garden or something. ”

Merlin took the magic book he had been keeping on the desk, then casually put on a hooded cloak and hurriedly pushed the door open. But within two seconds, the door was pushed open again, and he pulled out a magic book with different imprints from the mess of books on the floor.

"That's it! This time I'm really gone. ---- gold coins I put in the drawer of my desk, and the key is under the blanket in the corner of the table! Oh! By the way, Arthur is out on patrol today, and as the first knight left behind, it is best to go early to prepare for him. ----I'm leaving! ”

【Bang】

The large wooden door was shut, and Merlin's footsteps faded away. After putting on her armor, Qing walked over to the desk and pinned the weapon on it to her waist and back. The doji hung from his waist, and the subject's large sword and shield were carried on his back. When everything was ready, he bent down and opened the blanket, took out the key, opened the drawer, took out a few gold coins that were placed in it, and closed them. But Merlin also seems to have forgotten that the current green no longer needs to eat to replenish his physical strength, as long as he has magic power, he can make up for everything, and the faith transmitted from the spear of Gangnir is also replenishing his magic power, and at the same time slowly strengthening his body.

Push open the door and exit through the stairs. Now Qing needs to reduce consumption as much as possible, and Qing also has the feeling of escaping from here. Because it's deserted here, it's so cold that Qing doesn't want to stay here for another second!

【Your Excellency the First Horseman--------------】

【------------- of His Excellency Gungnir】

Along the way, the people they met, whether they were waiters or knights, all saluted, and their eyes flashed with admiration, because they longed for the bravest and most powerful knight who galloped on the battlefield. It's an honor, but it also carries an air that doesn't belong to you. --------- long period of comfort will make one forget the blood on the hands, this sin and misfortune.

A man walked to the gate of the royal capital, and asked the passers-by that Artoria had gone to inspect the kingdom's territory a week ago, and according to Merlin, it was the day of return. A welcome is essential, but he does not have the right to send the knights defending the city to greet him. So these will be handed over to Kai, who is also left behind, and Qing just needs to wait, waiting for her return.

Time also passed in the spring breeze and a hint of coolness, and Qingbai, who was sitting at the head of the city, looked boredly at the plain and sky in front of Camelot. And the mountain behind him is like a giant holding a majestic castle in his hand.

A group of black shadows also slowly moved forward from the distant plains.
