Chapter 2

It was said that the socks had not been washed for hundreds of years, and in fact, they had not been washed for a long time. Merlin, who only used magic to keep them clean, had a bad look on his face. He felt that the young man in front of him was poisonous. Compared to the rumor that he did not wash socks, shouldn't he be shocked by his identity as the king's teacher and court magician?

He wanted to become the king's valet, but he did not respect him as the king's teacher. Was he trying to make things difficult for him?!

Yes!

The correct attitude should be like that hotel owner, respectful and fearful!

Merlin thought angrily. His eyes rolled and he thought of a good idea to "repay" the young man.

This guy obviously did not know anything. If he went with them and made a fool of himself … Hmph, this guy's dream of becoming the king's valet would never come true.

"We are preparing to go out and practice. We just happen to lack a teammate. Do you want to come with us?"

"Hey!

Merlin, could it be that you think we're too powerful, so you want to lower the average strength by bringing this guy along? "

"I think this is a good idea!

Lily, what do you think? "

"I think it's a good idea too!"

The blonde girl called Lily had the same lake-green eyes as Badiweir. She was wearing a pure white knight's attire, looking like a pure lily as she smiled and nodded at Badiweir.

"Beckham's suggestion was good. I think he is a very smart person!"

Lily nodded affirmatively and touched the sword at her waist valiantly, "Besides, I am very strong too!

Protecting Beckham is no problem! "

"Although I am very grateful for your words, but, no matter what, it is too much to let a girl protect me … I think I can protect myself!

If I am a burden to you, I can do it alone. "

Bedivere said helplessly and smiled at the girl. He was about to say something when he suddenly thought of something.

"I remember now!

Merlin is not the legendary King Arthur's … "

"You finally remember?"

Merlin raised an eyebrow, waiting to see Badiweir weep and repent. However, what he saw was Badiweir looking at him with a complicated expression. Badiweir then nodded to Merlin and greeted the hotel owner, Lily, and the others before turning to leave.

Bedivere thought of the many stories his sister had asked him to read. It was written in the books that King Arthur and Merlin had … some kind of relationship. And it was said that Merlin could see through people's hearts and the future. So he felt that if he continued to stay with him, it would not be good.....

"Wait!"

Lily was the one who reacted faster than Merlin. She frowned and pulled Bedivere who was about to push the door open to leave. With a serious expression, she said, "Whether it's the uncle at the recruitment office or the hotel owner here, they're all right. I can feel your strength. It's too much for you to deal with a magical beast. They're all doing this for your own good."

"I know."

. "" But your eyes don't seem like you've given up. "

"Indeed …"

Bethel looked at the girl who was holding onto him with some surprise. Her green eyes, which were the same as his, were filled with worry and concern for him, making him feel warm in his heart. At the same time, his impression of the girl suddenly soared by a lot.

He rubbed the girl's head and smiled. "Because I have a reason that I have to do it.

Everyone has their own things to accomplish, don't they? "

"You, you, you … rubbed … my … head?!"

The girl stared blankly at the hand on her head. That hand was white and slender, even touching her most cherished strand of hair … This was the "Divine Domain" that even Guy had never touched!

"Ah, sorry, I've offended you … Because I often do this to my sister at home, I couldn't hold back when I saw your expression …"

Bedivere also realized that his actions might have been a little too intimate for the girl he met for the first time. Perhaps it was because the girl's too straightforward kindness made him think of the family he could not see, or perhaps it was because the girl was too pure and cute that he had carelessly made a move.

"Sorry …"

"…"

"Take your pig trotters away!!!

If you want to touch, go touch your own sister!!! "

A somewhat dark voice came. A tall man with a resolute face warily pushed Bedivere aside and stood in front of the girl. His eyes were full of vigilance and repulsion. The black Qi behind him condensed into a terrifying beast, brandishing its claws and fangs at Bedivere, as if it would attack at any moment.

"Isn't this … too powerful?

He can actually use his aura to materialize and scare people. How did he do it?

I also want to learn it! "

"…"

"…"

"…"

For a moment, everyone fell silent.

Guy's expression that was about to turn dark also froze. He silently exchanged glances with Merlin beside him, and the two saw the conflict and understanding in each other's eyes. Then, they came to a consensus — it was not that there was something wrong with them, but this wild Bedivere's thoughts were not on the same channel as normal people.

"Cough, cough cough …"

Lily saw the awkward atmosphere and coughed twice. She did not dislike Bedivere's actions. After all, it made her feel very close to him. Moreover … Bedivere was good-looking!

Moreover, this kind of good-looking was not like Gawain and Guy who were handsome but had a sense of aggression, but the kind of good-looking that was gentle and harmless. Therefore, she could not raise her guard at all.

"What's wrong?

Lily, is there something wrong with your throat?

Could it be that you kicked off your blanket last night … "

"It's not that!"

Lily helplessly stopped this foster brother of hers from being overly concerned about her. When she met Bedivere's eyes, she blushed slightly, but still insisted, "You just touched my precious hair!

As a price, I want you to come with us! "

"…"

Bedivere looked at the girl's expression and naturally understood her good intentions. He should have rejected this kind of invitation. It was more convenient to move alone, and he used some methods that were not suitable to be seen, but … looking at Lily's expression, he suddenly did not want to reject.

"Then, please take care of me, Lily, Mr Guy, and Lord Merlin."

Speaking of which, the name Guy seemed to be familiar?

However, there were many people in England and America with the same name, and they were all similar. He had probably heard it somewhere before.

Bedivere, who was not familiar with history, ignored these details. Guy snorted coldly and did not say anything. Merlin still had a smile on his face, as if waiting to watch a good show. Just like that, the group of people went on their way.

It seemed that because of Merlin's reputation, the hotel owner did not think that Beediwill would risk his life. He calmly asked them to leave and even told them where they could buy the most cost-effective horses.

"You know how to ride a horse?"

"Yes!"

"Oh, then don't fall behind later."

Guy saw that Bedivere did not hesitate and was resolute in his words, and was slightly relieved. If they were to encounter any danger, this guy should at least be able to escape on a horse, right?

Bedivere saw this and breathed a sigh of relief. He was thankful that there was an equestrian club in his middle school. He still had a good impression of animals, so he joined. Otherwise, it would be troublesome if he did not even know how to ride a horse!

However, Bedivere found that he was relieved too early. His "knowing" was really only at the level of "knowing". When it came to a real long distance …

"You probably can't even escape on a horse when the time comes, right?"

"…"

Bedivere was speechless. Although he felt that it was good that he could ride a horse for such a long time, compared to the real ancient Knights, he was still a far cry. Even Lily could ride a horse much better than him.

No wonder these three people dared to challenge the magical beast. Their strength was obvious. Unlike him who wanted to rely on cheats, these three people were the real deal.

Although he had never been on such a long journey, and the skin on his thigh was rubbing painfully, Bedivere gritted his teeth and persevered. There would be a lot of such things in the future, and he had to get used to it.

What's more, if even Lily could do it, how could he not be able to do it?

"Beckham, are you really okay?

Do you want me to carry you? "

"No, there's no need."

Feeling Lily's worried gaze and Guy's murderous aura, Bedivere tactfully shook his head. Moreover, there wasn't much difference whether or not he had someone to carry him. The main thing was that he had never experienced such a long period of riding a horse, so he wasn't used to it. It was like buying a new pair of shoes that needed a period of time to fully fit. He only needed time and to get used to it.

"Oh right, looking at the map, there is a beautiful lake in front of us. Why don't we camp here tonight?

Otherwise, it will be very troublesome if we miss the water source. "

"…"

Guy recalled the map and glanced at Bedivere. In the end, he didn't say anything. He would never refuse Lily's request.

Although with their original speed, they could reach the next town, but this burden didn't seem to be in a good state. It was estimated that he wouldn't be able to hold on for that long.

"Thank you."

Bedivere sighed in relief. He calmly rubbed his stomach. If it wasn't for the fact that he didn't eat much for lunch and digested it, he felt that he would probably vomit from the jolt.

When he thought about how he would have to continue the journey tomorrow, he felt a burst of helplessness.

Those people had specifically warned him that he couldn't make things that were beyond the current time, so there were no stirrups on the horses. He had to use his legs to tighten the horse's belly. Not only did it consume a lot of energy, it also increased the friction, and the skin on his thigh was torn …

Eh?

Wait, speaking of stirrups … When was it invented?!

Under the pressure of riding a long distance, his originally chaotic impression of history was stimulated to become clear. He clearly remembered that before he came here, in the history he crammed, King Arthur should have existed in the Middle Ages of the fifth century AD. Wasn't that the time when his history teacher said that stirrups appeared in the Middle Ages?!

In other words, even if he made stirrups now, it wouldn't violate history at all!

No, maybe it was because he made stirrups that stirrups appeared in the Middle Ages in the West?!

With this thought in mind, Bedivere felt that the pain in his legs didn't seem to be a problem. Walking with a slight limp didn't affect his originally tired face, and his expression became more energetic.

"Beckham, what's wrong with you?

Leave the firewood to Merlin and Khai. Your legs are inconvenient, so we'll be in charge of setting up the tent and starting the fire … "

"Lily, do you have a longer hemp rope?"

"I do. I originally planned to use it when we climb the mountain. Do you want to …"

"Please, lend it to me. I'll be careful when I use it!"

What Bedivere didn't know was that when he approached Lily, the two people who went to "collect firewood" were closely watching him. When he used the long hemp rope to tie a few knots and tried to make a simple stirrups for himself on the horse, the two people's expressions changed from their original vigilance to pure surprise. They naturally saw the use of the little thing.

If it was an ordinary person, they definitely wouldn't be so vigilant, but the problem was … Bedivere's aura was too harmless, and he himself gave off a feeling of being incompatible with the surroundings. So that harmless feeling made them vigilant, and they felt that there might be some kind of conspiracy, but now it seemed …

"He's a little clever. What a pity. With that, wouldn't it be a lot easier?

I was originally looking forward to seeing him being tortured to death tomorrow … "

Merlin still held a grudge against Bedivere for gossiping about his socks, but he just said it casually. On the other hand, Khai's expression became much more serious.

"Lord Merlin, don't underestimate this thing. If it's equipped by the army, its combat strength will definitely increase by more than one level. When the time comes, we'll have more confidence in dealing with the Saxon invaders!"

"Oh?

Now that you mention it, it does seem to be true. "

"That's right. Originally, the movement required the legs to exert strength and the hands to hold the reins tightly. With the stirrups, we can borrow strength and use both hands. Whether it's a broadsword or a bow, it's very advantageous."

The principle behind the stirrups could be said to be very simple. You only need to look at it to know how to make it and what it's used for. The only hard part was that you were the first to think of it and make it.

"He casually took out such an important thing, he shouldn't have any bad intentions, right?

Otherwise, there's no need to increase our strength … As for the strange things about him, who doesn't have some secrets? "

"…"

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

"No, I'm just thinking, Khai, why are you so easy to talk to?

You couldn't have been switched, right? "

"How could that be!

I just think that this thing is very beneficial to the country!

Also, the previous proposal for the country to control intelligence is the same. Although Bedivere lacks strength, he still has some redeeming qualities when it comes to intelligence … "

"Hmph, it's not good to let your guard down like this, Khai."

"Lord Merlin, could it be that you've discovered something wrong with him … Ugh!"

Khai looked in the direction where Merlin was pointing and saw a scene that made him burn with anger. That brat named Bedivere actually got so close to Lily and brought her to see what that thing was. Their hands even touched!

They touched!

That brat actually touched Lily's head again!

He touched her head again!

The anger of the sis-con burned fiercely. Khai's eyes were full of anger as he gritted his teeth and said, "You're right, we can't let our guard down!"

… …

"Achoo!"

"Did you sneeze?

Could it be that you caught a cold?

I'll let Merlin boil some medicine for you later! "

"Thank you for your concern, but I want to … Ah, wait, Lily, what are you doing?"

"What am I doing?

Do you still need to say it?

Of course, I'm cooking! "

"… …"

Bedivere looked at Lily who was washing the ingredients in the lake and throwing them into the pot to stew. He was suddenly speechless. So, this was how people cooked in this era?

It seemed that the dark cuisine of the British Empire had a long history since the Middle Ages …

It wasn't that it was bad to eat it as a hotpot, but no matter what, that thing that looked like cabbage should be torn apart piece by piece and not thrown in the whole thing!

How did Merlin and Khai survive with such a bold way of cooking?

"That, if you don't mind, can I cook?

Oh, right, I just saw that there's a relatively flat slate over there. We can also try a grill … "

"Oh?

I've eaten barbecue before. Grill? "

Lily blinked her eyes as if she was looking forward to it. However, she immediately looked at Bedivere hesitantly.

"Are you sure you can do it?

You didn't even know how to start a fire earlier. "

"… …" That was because things like flint had long been eliminated!

However, there were no matches at this time, so Bedivere could only take the blame for "not knowing how to start a fire".

"I can do it, I've cooked a lot of food for my sister, although the tools are not the same …"
