Silent Crown Chapter 271: The secrets that I can’t tell you
"King Arthur was left behind by blood..."
"Nonsense."
Bai Xi glared at him: "Otherwise, he picked up and raised the current royal family?"
"What I am talking about is not the inheritance of human blood, but the more dangerous things-things that are more dangerous and deformed than the blood of heaven and humans in the East."
Hermes looked back at her: "You don't think that the blood is inherited, only oriental musicians have it?
What Western musicians are looking for is not illusory experience, inspiration and talent, but more direct things, more direct power...including our Majesty King Arthur. "
Bai Xi was taken aback for a moment and asked: "Isn't he a legendary demigod?"
"'Half God'? Well, that's true."
Hermes nodded, "Back then, in order to ascend to the position of a **** as a human being, he forcibly incorporated the power beyond the limit into his body, finally turning himself into... a demigod who is neither human nor ghost. .
The Anglo people said that he was born with the blood of the red dragon, because his blood is hot, boiling, crazy, and different from human beings.
That is the gift of the fairy in the lake, the holy grail of almighty wishing! He wanted strength, and the blood gave him strength. He wanted more, and the blood gave him more, and at the same time, it also gave him a curse, making him subject to frenzy for life.
In his later years, he became more vigorous to quench his thirst by drinking a dove, and constantly wanted to have more power, but more power brought more curses, and curses needed more powerful power to suppress...
This is a vicious circle caused by greed. The result was a breakdown of his reason and a frantic start. "
He chewed on the sweetness remaining in his mouth, and squinted his eyes in remembrance:
"In just ten years, the prosperous age is no longer, the blood of Avalon gathered into a river, the decapitated heads piled into a tower, the dead gathered resentment into the ether, and the ether was entangled in the mad king. Above the'scepter'.
The entire Avalon has become a city of demons.
Ten years ago, everything was so good as if the kingdom of heaven had come to the world, ten years later. This heaven fell into hell...This is the origin of the shadow of Avalon.
The evil consequences of greed thousands of years ago are endless. "
"But King Arthur is dead"
"I hope, but his children and grandchildren, won't they still be prosperous?"
Hermes glanced at the night outside the window. In the night, the Elizabeth Tower under the palace is towering, pointing to the sky, like a palm extending to the sky.
"This is the blood of the curse."
He lowered his eyes: "The power and curse are all in the blood, passed on from generation to generation...This is their original sin. They are destined to perish forever.
No relief. "

Late night, the highest point of Avalon.
An unmarked carriage came quietly outside the palace. The driver was a knight who was covered in armor. He led the way, and the carriage passed through the guard gate in secret without being disturbed. anyone.
After Shu Wei's level is a weather-beaten elevator, the brass-cast elevator has become round and smooth after a long friction, reflecting the soft copper light.
The carriage stopped on it, and the lift started quietly, lifting the carriage. This is the only way to the top of Avalon.
When the carriage stopped on the square in front of the palace, the knight got out of the carriage and opened the door, and the old monk walked out of it.
"Master Mephistopheles, please follow me."
The knight took off his helmet, revealing the girl's anxious face: "We are running out of time."
Mephiste nodded and followed her: "How is the situation with your Royal Highness? Is it surely the curse of the Hundred Eyes?"
"...Yes."
Kristin lowered his head: "It's a dereliction of duty. I didn't realize that the princess was actually cursed."
"During the dragon blood's madness and loss of control, you can't get close. It's not your fault."
Mephistopheles sighed slightly: "If the dragon's blood disease and the curse of the one hundred eyes occur together...His Royal Highness may have suffered a lot. It is a pity. The gun of St. George was lost many years ago, otherwise it would definitely not be so. "
Kristin's eyes are painful, and she silently leads the way.
But soon, a pale-faced maid walked up quickly: "Jah, Lord Galahad. Her Royal Highness, Your Royal Highness..."
She was stunned for half of the speech, and she leaned into Kristen's ear and whispered a few words. Christine's face changed dramatically: "Why don't you stop her!"
"His Royal Highness...she said that she was about to lose control again, and she was afraid that she would do something irreparable."
"Asshole!"
Christine glared at her: "With her current situation, how can she be allowed to enter such a place! Besides, this time the situation is not the same as before. You can't stop it, don't you know to inform me? ! When did your Highness leave?"
"Just as you left, Your Highness knocked me out..." The maid lowered her head, her shoulders trembling.
"Forgive me for being rude."
Christine was too late to salute, and said goodbye to the old man, "Go and get the princess back immediately."
After that, she put on a helmet for herself, and rushed into the depths of the palace with the long sword around her waist. But behind her, Mephistopheles suddenly stopped her.
"Master Galahad."
He raised his muddy and bleak eyes, "Please don't be impatient, I can still feel the heart sound of the princess, she...she has returned."
"Back?"
Kristen seemed to have thought of something, clenched the sword, and looked solemn. Mephistopheles seemed to be aware of her thoughts, and shook his head slightly: "It's not what you imagined. Your Royal Highness has not lost control...According to the induction, the curse of Your Highness has been lifted."
"Relieved?" Christine was taken aback.
Mephistopheles was silent, seeming to sense something. After a while, he nodded slightly: "Yes, I can feel that Your Highness is still very weak, but the curse of the Hundred Eyes is undoubtedly eliminated, even manic. The dragon blood also fell silent again.
It seems that Your Highness is a child favored by the gods, so I don't need to be troublesome. "
He smiled and motioned to Christine to relax.
Soon, Christine reacted and rushed to the palace where the princess was, regardless of saying goodbye. The sound of footsteps broke the silence of the night.
Ignoring the rudeness, she pushed open the door of the bedroom:
"Your Highness!"
The bedroom behind the door didn't have the mess she had imagined, it was still organized and there was no run-down. Hearing the sound of her pushing the door in, the girl standing in front of the window turned her head.
She is also wearing a long dress blacked by dust. There were still traces of mud on his face, and he didn't look like a princess at all. In particular, she was also wearing a tattered leather jacket, covered with tears and scorch marks, looking like a little girl scavengers.
Just this time. She did not lose her mind.
The girl smiled when she saw her coming in.
"Christine."
Kristen stared blankly at the smile on Mary's face, and it took a long time to come back to her senses. Although I don't know what happened, the appearance of the princess did not seem to be tortured by the curse.
Moreover, since the blood of His Highness awakened. She hadn't seen such a relaxed smile for a long time.
"Your Highness... are you okay?" Kristen squeezed the hilt of the sword, feeling like he was dreaming.
"I'm fine."?
Mary wore the leather coat that was too weird and spacious for her, but she looked like she was wearing luxurious wings, and she looked peaceful and quiet, without seeing madness.
"Perhaps you had a good dream?" She said, "The whole person is a lot easier."
Kristin looked at it for a long time, and finally let go, "Has the curse been lifted?"
Mary nodded and stretched out her palm to show her the wound in her palm. She had just cut out a cut, and warm blood dripped from the wound. It's not hot, it's not crazy, there's nothing unusual.
"Look, even the dragon blood has fallen asleep again. This time, maybe I will be awake for a few months again."
Aware of the bitterness in Mary's words, Christine lowered his head and couldn't respond. Just skillfully pulled out the bandage and wound medicine from the bedroom, and bandaged the wound for her.
On that slender arm, there are faint scars all over it, and that was when she collapsed in pain time after time. I want to end the scars left over in my life.
It's a pity, but I can't die.
How long will this cruel cycle continue?
She lowered her eyes, not daring to look again. Just bowed his head and prayed softly: "It's Your Highness God Bless."
"No, God hates me, right?"
She heard Mary's whisper, raised her head in astonishment, and saw the girl staring at the moonlight outside the window.
"Isn't it?"
Mary said softly, "I was born with dragon blood and was controlled by that power. I went crazy and became a murderer. I woke up from the blood of innocent people every night, day after day, My sins are dyed black.
Christine, I was born guilty.
Sometimes I hate James, hate my brother, hate him for being so ordinary, hate him for not being able to bear this evil result that should be inherited by him. When I am crazy, I feel that the whole world is tainted by unclean people, extremely dirty. But after waking up, I found that the most dirty thing is myself...
Christine, you are my only friend, but sometimes I look at you and I feel guilty.
For someone like me, where is it worth your time to sacrifice for me? Are you 18 years old? Because of me, I have never had a playmate..."
"No matter who your Royal Highness becomes, I will stay by your side. If your Royal Highness's destiny is to inherit the throne, then his mission in the next life is to be your sword and shield."
Kristen looked solemnly: "The Lancelot family in this generation has no males, and my father is only one child. Just like my highness, since I was born, my future path has been doomed. I used to I have been unwilling, but now I feel: It’s great that the person I met is your Highness.
I became your chief guard not because of the mission of the family, but because of my own will and wish. In this regard, I am willing.
So, please do not blame yourself. "
Mary was stunned.
After a long time, she squeezed Christine's palm tightly, "Then, thank you very much."
Christine nodded.

It was late at night, and after Christine chatted with her sleepy Mary about some recent popular music and news in Avalon, Mary leaned on her sleepily, lethargic.
Kristen looked at the girl curled up on the sofa, and her sleeping face that was no longer afraid, gently picked her up and put her on the bed.
Just in the drowsiness, Mary also seemed unwilling to take off the tattered leather jacket and clung to it tightly. After trying twice, Christine gave up reluctantly.
I don’t know where the Royal Highness picked up this strange leather jacket, but... what makes Christine faintly disturbed is that this leather jacket can be seen from a man's style! Is there anyone who quietly approached Her Royal Highness when he was not paying attention?
Maybe it has something to do with the curse contact, but if it's true, then what is that man's plan!
Kristen was meditating, but there was a sour taste in his heart for some reason: Your Royal Highness looks so relaxed, it must be related to that man!
I have been with Your Highness for so many years, but I can't match a man who appeared out of thin air. That man must have ulterior motives when approaching His Highness!
She squeezed the sword firmly, her eyes flashed with a chill: If she were to find the man who was ill-intentioned, she would definitely make him appreciate the power of ‘Galahad’!
"Christine." A whispered voice came from behind her.
"Huh?" She was taken aback and looked back at Mary who was half asleep on the bed. The princess was holding the leather jacket and was looking at herself. She was a little flustered subconsciously, with a sense of tension that her mind was peeped through.
"Hall, do you have any orders?"
"After a while, teach me the court dance." Mary looked at her, her eyes begging: "I want to learn the steps of waltz."
"Uh...Isn't your Highness always not interested in these things?" Kristen became more and more nervous for some reason.
"Suddenly want to learn, teach me, Christine."
Kristen was taken aback, and after hesitating for a long time, he lowered his head in shame: "This...I have learned how to inherit the power left by Lord Galahad from birth. Court dance is not a weak thing after all. The commander of the knight, I have never learned it before."
"Oh?"
Mary looked faintly disappointed: "It turns out that Christine has something that he can't do."
Christine was silent for a moment, made up his mind, gritted his teeth and said: "Next, go to school tomorrow!"
"Hey."
Mary looked at her embarrassed look, and smiled triumphantly~IndoMTL.com~ no longer entangled, she just half buried her face in the pillow and suddenly said:
"Kristen, I just... dreamed of your Royal Highness."
"Prince!?"
Kristen lost her voice, his eyes were dark, and it was like a bolt from the blue: It seems to be right, your Royal Highness really encountered a gangster who was ill-intentioned!
Soon she realized her gaffe and forced a smile:
"Ahem, isn't it? That...prince, is he good-looking?" She already wanted to chop up the **** prince and feed it to the dog.
"I don't remember clearly, I just remember that he took my hand...well, I won't tell you the rest." Mary blinked slyly:
"That dream is my secret, and His Royal Highness is also my secret..."
She smiled, closed her eyes sleepily, and fell into a long-lost peaceful dream.
There seems to be moonlight in the dream. (To be continued.)
