Every time I wake up, I take the blame for the villain

Under such harassment, Jiang Chen finally went to meet Uther, his current nominal father and the actual ruler of Camelot.

Have dinner together.

For him, it didn't seem so unpleasant.

But it wasn't very pleasant either.

Her appearance made Uther a little happy.

Arthur decisively decided to invite her to the dinner often in the future. God knows that his father's face was not there these days when Morgana didn't show up. Oh, having dinner is no different from discussing state affairs at ordinary times. Facing such a serious face of the king, he sometimes choked when eating.

Jiang Chen behaved gently and politely, which fully met the current requirements for nobles, both men and women, to have a unified noble and elegant demeanor.

This made Uther even more satisfied. Seeing that her complexion was normal and her words were fluent, he also put down some of his worries about her. He was really panicked when he saw Morgana sick like that a few days ago.

He thought of Edwin who caused this incident and snorted. Hateful wizard! Magic is as evil as ever!

It turned out that the death penalty was too easy for him.

Arthur was puzzled when he saw the king's heavy face again.

"Father?"

Uther held the spoon and cut the bread with the tip of the knife, as if the bread in his hand was a wizard, and said seriously, "Magic must be strictly investigated!"

Arthur: "Emm?" Receiving Uther's gaze, "Yes." Why do you always think of one thing and another...

Jiang Chen put down his knife and fork, "Your Majesty, don't worry. There will be no evil magic in Camelot under your rule."

Uther was very pleased with his words. "Good boy. Don't worry. I promise you that what happened last time will not happen again."

"That has nothing to do with you."

"But I almost lost you." Uther clenched the cutlery in his hand, "Morgana. Your father is my best friend. He entrusted you to me before he died. You grew up in Camelot, just like my own daughter. To me, you are irreplaceable. Morgana, I don't want you to get hurt."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. You are the same to me." His tone was so serious that there was no perfunctory.

Want to be a father and son with him?

He was very happy.

...

Due to Merlin's repeated obstructions, Sophia's plan did not go smoothly. The slow-witted Arthur felt something was wrong, especially when Merlin once again involved Morgana.

Strangely, Sophia, who always hated being disturbed by someone, was very supportive of this hunt. She even invited Morgana on purpose.

The mist of the Ayret Forest became thicker as they went deeper. Here, there are towering trees, slanting branches and vines, and dark green moss everywhere. This is an ancient jungle. I don't know if it rained a few days ago, but everything here is very humid. It seems that if you walk a little longer, your clothes will be completely wet.

The pale mist is lingering, and the trees in the distance seem to be only a short section, and they seem to go straight into the sky. The path in the forest is bumpy, sometimes it is a flat terrain with heavy fallen leaves, sometimes it becomes a rock fault, and sometimes it becomes an undercurrent hidden under the fallen leaves. When the horse's hooves step on it, there is a sound of water splashing. He can guarantee that after returning to Camelot, his beloved horse will have to make a new set of horseshoes.

Arthur couldn't help complaining, "What kind of weather is this! If it rained here, why is Camelot always sunny?"

This forest is not far away from Camelot to have completely different weather.

Jiang Chen was riding a horse, and he was not in a good mood. But no one could observe anything from his expression.

A long time ago, he liked to travel and play in the mountains and rivers, but now, he has no desire to appreciate such a deserted and quiet place. Whether it is the deep sea or the maze.

This kind of dead silence can sometimes drive people crazy.

People's happiness is always fleeting and cannot withstand the passage of time, but some pains are often long-lasting.

Arthur whispered, "I heard that someone found here..."

Before he finished speaking, there was a sharp buzzing sound beside him. He looked down and saw a sword stuck in the grass on one side. A three-headed silver fish was pierced by the largest head, shaking on the sword body without being stiff. Two long fangs stretched out of its fish mouth, which looked very scary.

Disgusting saliva dripped from the fangs in the fish's mouth, and the grass immediately turned black.

It was in the grass to the left of his horse. Because of the heavy fog now, his horse did not find it, and he did not find the danger. There is no puddle nearby...

So this is a poisonous fish that lives on land?

Jiang Chen rode slowly over, reached out to take back the sword he had borrowed temporarily, and said expressionlessly, "You are here to hunt."

"This, this is just a small problem, so I didn't care." Arthur vowed, "I am an experienced hunter, don't worry."

Jiang Chen picked up the fish with the tip of his sword, made sure it was dead, threw it far away, and nodded, "Oh."

Although he didn't change his tone or expression, Arthur still felt that he sensed a kind of attitude of watching a good show from Morgana.

Sophia followed on the side, looking around from time to time.

Merlin suddenly asked her, "What have you been looking at today? Sophia."

Sophia was obviously startled, and immediately drove her horse to catch up with Arthur and moved away from Merlin, and said impatiently, "Nothing."

Jiang Chen lowered his head to comfort the white horse, completely ignoring it. The knights who followed behind him looked at each other, puzzled by the strange atmosphere.

As for Arthur, he might not feel it at all.

In view of the fact that two ladies came today, Arthur did not intend to find some animals that were too dangerous. Although the strength of the prey can better reflect their bravery, it would be more troublesome to hurt them.

If Sofia had not asked to follow them, Arthur really did not want to take the two spoiled princesses with him. Oh, Morgana's swordsmanship can still be called good, but Sofia, looking at her innocent appearance, knows that she has never held a sword or other weapons.

Strangely, there was no trace of any wild beasts in the huge forest at this time. Arthur also felt that today was a bit bad. When the weather is warm, the jungle will become full of vitality. Wild deer, brown bears, wolves, porcupines, and all kinds of birds will thrive, and experienced hunters can find their traces from clues in the forest. But today, they can't find anything.

Whether it's the leaves they chewed, the footprints that should have been left on the wet ground, or the feces of wild animals. Nothing.

If it was just him who got nothing, it would be fine, but his knights didn't seem to find it either.

It seemed that the Ayret Forest suddenly turned into a dead forest.

The strange fish that died at the hands of Morgana became the only living thing they had seen since entering the forest.

He couldn't help but draw his sword and alert his knights, "Something is wrong. Be careful."

There was a sound of swords being drawn in unison.

They formed a circle and protected the three people who were powerless in their eyes in the middle. Sofia, Merlin, Morgana.

Although Sofia didn't think she needed protection, she didn't fight for victory at this time. She looked at the two people around her, looked at Merlin again with an unusual look, and then leaned towards Jiang Chen.

She looked at the quiet forest around her and frowned slightly. Obviously, this unusual calm was not what she expected.

Jiang Chen took in the expressions of several people and was basically sure that he had encountered an emergency again. So he really didn't understand why Arthur had to bring him this time? He should know that the original owner was not interested in force.

Moreover, hunting, bringing people other than knights, is he confident in his own force, or is he confident in the ability of three ordinary people who have only held swords a few times in the eyes of knights not to drag his feet?

After a dead silence.

It seemed that the sound of the sea came from a very far distance, and it seemed to be right beside my ears.

It sounded in the void shaded by green leaves, and under the undercurrent of dead trees, from the rustling wind at the tips of the leaves, and it was like a variation of tiny rays of sunlight in the gaps between the trees.

The leaves of the forest seemed to be its notes. Very slow, very soft, like a lullaby, making people forget all troubles, sorrows, and responsibilities. Intoxicated in the gentle embrace of the sea. A faint and gentle female voice was mixed in.

The knights' swords fell from their hands and fell on the ground covered with dead leaves, as if they were gently held up by a pair of hands, without making any sound.

They had carefree smiles on their faces. They got off their horses.

Arthur held the reins and couldn't help but take two steps towards the direction of the music, saying intoxicatedly, "It's so warm! I seem to feel my mother by my side. Igraine, I think she must be a very gentle queen."

"I remembered my first love Katie."

Others also said that they remembered the most beautiful memories of their lives.

Sophia: "Although I have been wandering with my father, I am still very happy with him."

Merlin looked a little entangled, wanting to express his happiness, but there was a voice in his heart telling him not to say it out loud. He endured it again and again, "Although he is an rude egomaniac who thinks it is natural for others to be responsible for him, he is indeed a kind friend."

Arthur turned his head and frowned, "I heard Merlin. You are saying bad things about me." He thought for a while, "But for the sake of the master and servant, I decided to forgive you." He said, walked to Merlin with a smile, and slapped him on the head again.

"Ouch!" Even though he was prepared, Merlin still screamed in pain, covering his head.

Jiang Chen's eyes became a little gloomy. He didn't say what he felt. However, the feeling of being spied on was really disgusting. If he still didn't feel that there was something wrong with what they heard, he had learned music theory for hundreds of thousands of years in vain.

"I don't know who can sing such a piece of music." A knight sighed.

Arthur said, "I think we need to visit. As a thank you."

Everyone except Jiang Chen agreed unanimously.

Seeing that they were determined to achieve their goal, Jiang Chen wanted to give them a sword and drag their eternal corpses back to Camelot. But reason told him that it was useless to do so.

The psychedelic realm often takes advantage of what people desire most in their hearts, and Jiang Chen is very clear about this.

What it tests is the human heart.

But the human heart often cannot withstand the test, so they can only rot in intoxication. Jiang Chen has experienced it before and has given false things to others. Anyone who sets up a trap must have something to ask for. I wonder what the owner of this illusion wants.

Jiang Chen is not interested in his wishes. But he doesn't like anyone to do anything with his messy memories.

Everyone followed the sound and walked along. The fog in the jungle gradually dissipated. The sunlight in the distance gradually became brighter among the lush trees.

Merlin looked carefully and said happily, "It seems that we are going to get out of the forest."

He rushed forward excitedly and disappeared in the sunlight in a blink of an eye.

Arthur shouted twice, and a faint echo came back from the distance, "Merlin?! Merlin!"

No one answered.

The knights were all surprised. Sophia also looked a little confused.

They had to follow them all.

Far away, before they completely left the forest, they heard someone crying softly.

By an ancient well, a girl was wearing a gorgeous skirt woven with gold thread, with brilliant golden hair scattered behind her. She turned her back to their road, facing the deep well, sobbing.

Adhering to the friendly spirit of knights, Arthur rode over and asked her what happened.

Hearing someone asking questions, she seemed to be startled and quickly stood up from the well.

"Nothing." The girl replied, wiping her eyes, "Are you guests from afar?"

Arthur didn't ask her because she didn't say anything. "Yes. We are from Camelot. Excuse me, there was a servant just now, um..." He compared himself, "He was about the same height as me, and he ran over. Did you see him?"

"No. Distinguished guest."

Arthur touched his head with a headache, "It's obviously this direction..." Merlin, this guy, just knows how to run around!

"But maybe Mino will see her. She is my sister, who likes hunting. My name is Orlia."

"Excuse me, where is Mino?" Sofia asked. She always felt something was strange.

Orlia answered seriously, "I'm afraid she won't return to the castle until tomorrow."

Arthur: "She spent the night alone in the forest?"

Orlia asked confusedly, "Forest? It's in the sea. She needs to adapt in advance."

Arthur: "Huh?"

Sophia felt even weirder.

Arthur remembered the purpose of their visit, "We heard a beautiful song. It made us feel very happy, so we wanted to visit. Do you know who sang it?"

Oliya suddenly started crying again. "I don't know. I don't know. My guests, please don't follow the guidance of the song and don't step into there." Jiang Chen noticed that when she spoke, she seemed to want to turn around and look in one direction, but failed. She cried for a while before calming down, "Guests, you are tired from the journey, why don't you come back to the city with me to rest. If you want to find a companion, you can wait for Mino to come back. She is very familiar with the castle."

Arthur hesitated, and couldn't see the sky clearly. They set out at ten in the morning and arrived here at about noon, but now it is only two or three in the afternoon at most...

Oliya said, "The castle has not had any guests for many years. My father will be very happy."

Arthur decided to follow her.

He was also very curious. How could this area, which should have belonged to Camelot, have other castles that he, the prince of Camelot, didn't know about. And he heard clearly that the song came from outside the forest.

Sophia fell behind, looked at the ancient well with some curiosity, and her face suddenly became very ugly. She wanted to say something to Arthur, but when she looked at Orlia, she pursed her lips tightly. At this moment, she did not dare to leave the team.

What was revealed in front of her was a gorgeous, brilliant, blue, crystal-like castle.

It may not be as big as Camelot, but it is particularly exquisite.

Its owner is called Albert Buch.

Three hundred years ago, this name might have been known to all the residents of the seaside.

…

Before entering the castle, the boy named Merlin who was separated from others seemed to have been completely forgotten.

Arthur forgot it even more.

After Jiang Chen was invited to live in the room, guards were guarding the door. I think the same is true for others.

And Orlia never appeared again. The time that Jiang Chen felt was different from here.

From coming here, staying overnight, to the so-called second day when Mino returned, Jiang Chen calculated clearly that only two hours had passed.

Albert held a grand banquet for them. Mino had already appeared. Jiang Chen observed deliberately. No one mentioned the search for Merlin.

Sophia cut for a long time with a knife and fork, but she didn't eat a single bite. Seeing Arthur and the others happy, she secretly cursed stupid humans in her heart!

When Jiang Chen picked up the knife and fork, Sophia was shocked. She thought that the only smart one was not alert at all.

Her nervous voice sounded in her mind, "Don't eat anything."

Jiang Chen's fingertips paused slightly. The noisy and lively banquet hall seemed to be still for a moment. At this moment, all the natives of the castle stared at Sophia with their eyes straight, and the next second, they talked and laughed as usual.

He glanced at Sophia slightly, and her pale face proved that those stiff and cold eyes like those of a dead person just now really existed.

When she saw Morgana, the only one who could hear her voice, ignored her life-threatening reminder and put the food into her mouth, Sophia was completely disheartened.

It's over, the alliance is gone, and even she is involved. It's all stupid humans...

She no longer needed to hide, and the sound of her knife and fork cutting made people look at her with a squeak.

Albert asked, "Ms. Sophia, is there anything wrong with our hospitality?"

Even when he asked questions, he was very serious and his tone was flat. It was not a kind of calmness, but an extremely stiff tone, as if he had not spoken for many years, and it seemed that he could only repeat a few fixed sentences. But the knights present did not find it strange.

Sophia forced a smile and said, "No. Thank you for your enthusiasm, but my appetite has not been very good recently."

"Oh? We still have excellent red wine here, which must be appetizing."

Sophia laughed even more uncomfortably and declined, "I'm sorry, my father forbids his daughter to drink, and I can't disobey him." She pinched the cold sweat in her palms and said calmly, "And I'm not thirsty or hungry now."

"Oh, okay. What a pity."

Even so, she didn't dare to leave the table. God knows what terrible consequences will arise if she leaves early. Even if she disappeared inexplicably, these completely oblivious humans will definitely not remember her.

And she felt that she was also starting to be a little unconscious...

How could it be? Is it not just the food and water that are problematic?
