Every time I wake up, I take the blame for the villain
197, Merlin (VI)
The small snow-white conch sculpture in the castle square was bent, and clear water dripped from the conch horn into the pool below. It was surrounded by a white jade fence.
The wind chimes in front of the wooden window rang, and they were in harmony with the gentle sound of the sea.
From the moment I stepped into the castle, the singing mixed with the music disappeared.
Even though the castle had not welcomed guests for a long time, the castle owner's meticulousness was simply speechless for the most picky people.
The maid brought hot water and asked the tired guests whether they wanted to take a bath and change clothes, and asked if they needed to prepare a new long dress. Both suggestions were politely rejected.
There were two guards standing outside the door, and a maid holding a basin left. Jiang Chen stood behind the door, just one door away from them, but he could not hear a single sound. There was no splashing sound in the basin, no footsteps of the maid, and even the guards' breathing could not be heard at all.
There was only the sound of waves and the undercurrents of the deep sea, rising and falling.
He had lived with such sounds for nearly a thousand years, and was extremely familiar with them.
On the left was the room of the Avalon elves. Jiang Chen reached out and tapped the wall slightly, roughly determining the thickness of the wall. Some parts were illusions, and some parts were real, such as this wall.
He sat at the wooden table covered with a gorgeous knitted tablecloth, and stretched out his hand to support his forehead with some fatigue. The gentle blue eyes were like the silent lake of Avalon, peaceful and unpredictable. In fact, he had been in this world for more than a month, but he had not slept for several hours. The difference in the body was one aspect, and on the other hand, the sudden change of the environmental system also made people feel uncomfortable.
He sorted out all the things in the future. The humid forest, the strange aquatic fish, the undercurrents of the ocean, the ancient well in the suburbs, or this castle with a conch as its symbol, all seemed to be inseparable from water.
He opened the window and his eyes fell on the small conch sculpture dripping in the square. Under the bright moonlight, the water drops dripping from the conch seemed to be shining with silver light.
It seemed to be the only truth.
But he hadn't started yet.
This was the first day.
The castle soon became lively. People coming and going were filled with joyful smiles.
Princess Mino was about to get married, marrying another handsome king, and inheriting all the titles and property of Prince Albert. The mysterious king, whose name was unknown, sent a gift to Princess Mino, a musical conch from the deep sea.
It was a magical conch blessed by creatures in the deep sea. Those who possessed it would always be happy.
They seemed to be completely indifferent to Camelot's magic ban, and they didn't know that their residence was just a stone's throw away from Camelot. They had totem worship, and there were priests and witches. All residents were even happy to see wizards cast spells. Magic here would not violate the law at all.
As a VIP of this castle, Jiang Chen was also invited to attend their wedding five days later.
Albert's original words were, "Dear guest, my daughter Mino is going to marry the king from the sea. I wonder if you can honor me by attending Mino's wedding."
It was not until the morning of the seventh day when they arrived at the castle that Moranti, wearing a dark blue formal suit, with a dull look and a stiff smile, came with the princess in a blue court dress embellished with gemstones. At that moment, Jiang Chen felt a bloody omen.
This feeling may come from Morgana's ability to predict. It is very unreal, but you can feel its reality.
Moranti is Arthur's close follower and one of the most prestigious knights in Camelot.
It is interesting why he became the king who would marry Mino.
But Arthur and other knights did not attend the wedding. Only Jiang Chen and Sophia were invited.
At this time, Sophia had fallen into the same state as Arthur and the others. She looked sober, but she was not conscious. It was consistent with the weird feeling of the natives in this castle.
When Albert asked, "Although Mino's wedding is perfect, I still think she lacks a bridesmaid. I wonder if I will be lucky enough to ask one of you to be a bridesmaid in the future," Jiang Chen remained silent for a while, but Sophia answered very actively, "It's my honor."
Later? This later seems to have a special meaning.
But they looked accustomed to it.
Albert's stiff eyes fell on Jiang Chen, and Jiang Chen replied faintly, "If there is a chance, I also hope so. But Sophia likes it, I am willing to give in."
After receiving his words that were similar to a promise, Albert showed a stiff smile on his face, "It is also the honor of Mino and Ornos."
Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes, "Ornos?"
"Yes." He did not notice that Jiang Chen's question was different from that of ordinary people, "That is Mino's new husband."
Jiang Chen did not think that his memory would be so bad that even Arthur, the confidant of a potential enemy, would remember it wrong. Just like some worlds he had experienced, in this world, names often contain certain rules and have magic. Any name that is given meaning should not be changed easily. Moranti seemed to have forgotten everything about himself.
Jiang Chen seemed to understand their rules. Princess Mino's husband will be called Ornos.
Things are not completely over.
After the grand wedding, it seemed that both the host and the guests were happy. After the wedding banquet, the castle ushered in another bloody carnival.
The king called Ornos will directly inherit everything from Prince Albert and will be crowned here.
The lively celebration lasted until late at night.
If someone sober were here, they would not be in the mood to appreciate their activities late at night. But Jiang Chen was different.
In a strange place, he would not feel sleepy at all.
And the main film was obviously just beginning at this moment.
Amid the revelry of the subjects under the castle, Ornos changed into a bright red king's uniform with medals and walked onto the temporary stage. Facing him was the only conch sculpture in the square.
The former ruler of the law, who had a very high prestige here and was widely known as a wise man, crowned him.
When the king's crown decorated with gorgeous gems fell on Ornos' head, Jiang Chen saw that all the onlookers smiled. Uniform and numb. Even the angle of the bend was exactly the same.
They were obviously of different identities, different dresses, and different statuses, but they all smiled at this moment. Neat and tidy. Anyone who sees this scene will feel horrified.
From the darkness behind Ornos, an executioner with a huge beheading axe walked out. His eyes were greedy and eager. He had been waiting to chop off a fresh head for a long time.
Ornos, who became Moranti, did not react at all.
The bright red blood fell on the bright red uniform on his body.
His head fell, and there was no fear on his face, but a mysterious and happy smile.
There were crowds of people. The already airtight square was still pouring in with people. Everyone's face could no longer be seen. Only one after another black shadows, like a dense mass of insects under the dark blue candlelight, surging and surging.
They cheered, screamed, and fell into madness.
The audience lined up in circles of joy, took out wine glasses from their arms, stared at the broken neck, greedily received blood, and took water from the conch, clinking glasses with each other, as if they were having another feast.
Maybe it was a feast for them.
After many days, the psychedelic female voice reappeared. This time, it was clearer. The whole night was accompanied by a gentle music. It felt exactly the same as the piercing scream under the castle.
Jiang Chen's eyes were heavy, and he slowly closed the gap in the wooden window. He felt a little sick. Maybe it was because he saw the phantoms of the dead holding hot blood and smiling on their faces after seeing a person's body being torn apart, or maybe it was because of something else. So sometimes the most sober people have the most uncomfortable life.
It's obvious that Arthur must be sleeping on his back in his VIP room at this time.
Maybe he will be the next Ornos.
Jiang Chen admitted that his idea was quite malicious. In fact, he didn't take action to add insult to injury, and he felt that he was already quite kind.
According to the time here, Merlin, the great magician, has disappeared for seven days. If he continues to disappear like this, and King Arthur really relies on his mission to survive, then Arthur Pendragon may really end his short life here.
If Camelot is in chaos, it is obvious that his current peaceful life, the peaceful life of Mordred who can avoid the druid, will no longer exist.
If Jiang Chen is dead, then treat him as dead. As long as he still exists, he will go back alive one day. But once someone also steps into this endless reincarnation and can never tell the starting point and the end point, how can he ensure that he will not hurt the people he doesn't want to hurt.
The boy named Mordred. Perhaps the way to ensure that Mordred will not die young is to kill Arthur in advance. But in this way, how can we ensure that the magic ban in Camelot will continue to take effect.
Jiang Chen feels that if he comes to power, I am afraid that the first thing he can't help but cancel the ban. However, he doesn't want to see the people before now. At least when he is wearing another layer of skin, he doesn't want to see them at all. He can tell them that those anti-human things, at least the first half of anti-human things, were not done by him, but do they believe it?
Would his brother and sister believe it? He didn't dare to treat them the same way he treated Ma Junyi.
This might be the only thing he didn't dare to do.
Jiang Chen fell into deep thought, hearing the almost crazy cheers under the castle and the gentle songs in the long night.
When the morning sun shone on the castle again, everything was brand new again.
It seemed that last night's carnival was just an illusion.
There was no platform, no blood, no headless corpses, no gentle songs in the night sky, only the sculpture of the conch, still dripping into the water. The residents of the castle greeted each other and laughed and greeted each other in the square.
The sea of people who reveled last night seemed to have dispersed in an instant. There were only so many people in this castle. It was far from enough to fill the square.
Albert invited him and Sophia to dinner, and said, "Ladies, my daughter Mino is going to marry the king from the sea. I wonder if you can honor me to attend Mino's wedding."
Similarly, there was still no trace of Arthur and others.
Hearing this familiar question, Jiang Chen stroked the cold knife handle in his hand, his azure eyes left the plate and looked at the prince, smiling but sincere, "It's my honor."
Sophia's answer was exactly the same as seven days ago, and she took the initiative to ask to be Mino's bridesmaid.
"Have you chosen Mino's bridesmaid? Do I have the honor?"
Albert showed a strange smile, staring at the very attentive Sophia, and then fell on Jiang Chen, and then answered in a standardized tone, "I dare not. It should be said that it is Mino's honor to invite guests to be bridesmaids."
In any conversation, he addressed them as distinguished guests, and did not mention their identities and names.
On the day when she changed into the bridesmaid dress, Jiang Chen was allowed to meet her. Or rather, he was urged to meet her.
Sophia said, "When I get married, can you be my bridesmaid?"
Her question was not just a simple question. Magic is often mobilized by language.
Jiang Chen probably understood the deep meaning of this meeting, and he curled his lips, "Yes. If you get married."
The premise is that she is marrying a person.
