[comprehensive] not human

Chapter 82

Yan Bai was quite surprised when he was informed by his attendants that the knight Gawain came to visit. He was not very familiar with the white knight. The few exchanges were on the battlefield before. In Wangcheng's guard work, Lianbai concentrates on studying magic and teaching Vivienne, and the two basically have no communication, so his sudden visit is beyond Yanbai's expectations.

"Master Merlin." Gawain saluted him as soon as he saw him, and then directly explained the purpose of his visit, "I wonder if you know that black witchcraft is prevalent in Miss Vivienne's country?"

Yan Bai shook his head calmly: "I don't know about that."

"The Kingdom of Pepon has practiced black magic since ancient times. In the land in the east of England, it is called the country of witchcraft. The royal family of the kingdom is especially good at using black magic. The direct heirs of each generation will be taught to use black magic from childhood." witchcraft."

"You mean to tell me to be careful of Vivienne?" Yan Bai said lightly, but a surge of anger suddenly rose in his heart, "Are you asking me to imprison her, to protect England and our king?"

"That's not the case. Miss Vivienne is your guest of the king and the mage, and also the personal maid of His Majesty the queen. I'm just telling you the news I know."

"I see, is there anything else?"

Gao Wen looked a little disappointed, and he saluted Yan Bai again: "I'm sorry that I went to investigate Miss Vivienne's country privately, but for the safety of the kingdom, I must ensure that every guest is safe for the kingdom."

"I see. Thank you, Knight Gawain." Yan Bai finally said with a little sarcasm, "But with this time, you can definitely strengthen the guarding of the royal city. I believe it is better than a powerless man. Women, and even more dangerous are spies from other countries."

After Gao Wen left, he could no longer read a single word in the magic book.Distraughtly, he threw away the book in his hand, stood up and walked back and forth in the room, Yan Bai knew that he was too impulsive just now, what Gao Wen said was not unreasonable, but how dare he, how could he even They sent people to investigate Vivienne's homeland without even notifying her.No, Gao Wen did it just in case, but a girl like Vivian...

For some reason, Yan Bai suddenly remembered Vivian's overreaction after her face was dirty in the slums, and he still hasn't figured out the reason.She had never mentioned her country to him, let alone black witchcraft, should he ask her?

Staring at the thick oak door, Yan Bai rarely hesitated.But Vivian herself made a decision for him at this time, and the wooden door was pushed open without any warning. Vivian jumped in briskly and smiled at him: "Merlin, I know how to cast yesterday's magic!"

But the mage who had always been gentle and considerate to her did not come up to her as usual, but stood by the window sill and looked at her.It was the first time that Vivienne was looked at so coldly by him, and the long-lost timidity rose from the bottom of his heart: "Mage?"

"Vivian, I want to ask you something, please answer me honestly." Yan Bai made up his mind, and stared at Vivian with a good look.

"what?"

"Is dark witchcraft prevalent in your country? Are you very good at it?"

Vivienne's face turned pale.Now she doesn't need to say anything, she just understands the words.It would be a lie to say that he was not disappointed, Yan Bai took a deep look at her, then turned to look out the window: "...you can come to see me tomorrow, today's magic class is temporarily suspended."

"No, Mage. I..." Vivienne stammered behind him, making Yan Bai even more disappointed, he unconsciously frowned: "Vivienne, I don't want to be angry with you, please leave first, let me be quiet for a while. "

"Mage, I do know black witchcraft, but I swear I have never used it!" Vivienne was anxious and shouted desperately, "I didn't tell you before because I was afraid that you would hate it because of it." Me! Everyone knows that Archmage Merlin hates black magic and black witchcraft the most. If I told you this from the beginning, you...you would not treat me as well as you do now! Mage, but I swear, I I swear on my life that I have never used black magic! Please believe me!"

Yan Bai glanced at the bookshelf next to him, there was a locked wooden box at the top, and there was only one thing in it, the crystal bottle containing Mordred's blood.Cursing others with blood, and even taking life away is one of the black arts he hates the most.

He sighed, and his anger just disappeared like this: "Vivienne, I'm just disappointed that you didn't tell me about this." He turned around, looked at the woman with a pale face biting her lower lip, and said yes Looking at her blue eyes full of tears, her heart softened: "You hide this matter, if someone tells His Majesty the King or Queen the fact that you are full, what will they think? If those court nobles who hate you know What would they think about this matter? Vivienne, have you thought about it?"

"I, I thought about it..." Big tears rolled down Vivienne's face, "I know that many people hate me, and I also know that I'm sorry for the King and Queen by keeping this secret, but... ...But I'm afraid you will hate me for it. I know what black magic looks like in the eyes of others. My country was once called the country of demons because we have black magic. I once came to England did not hide black witchcraft, was stoned, and was driven out of the village. I am afraid that the same thing will happen again."

"Master Merlin, you, do you already start to hate me now? Do you already want me to go away immediately? If you think so, even if there is only a little disgust, I will immediately disappear before your eyes, leave White City, and leave England , I will never set foot on the land under the rule of King Arthur in this life." Speaking of this, Vivienne couldn't help it anymore, and sobbed loudly.

Yan Bai sighed again, stepped forward and patted her head: "No. You can stay here until you want to leave. I assure you, no one will drive you away."

"...Really?" Vivian raised her head, tears streaming down her face, and asked cautiously.

"En. Don't cry." Yan Bai resisted the urge to wipe away her tears, put down his hands and clenched them into fists and hung them by his side, "Wipe away the tears."

Only then did Vivienne burst into laughter: "I believe in you, Merlin. I believe in everything you say. If you say no, it will never happen." At this moment, she suddenly remembered something, and she screamed a little, flustered She took out her handkerchief and wiped her face indiscriminately, turned around and ran out while wiping: "Wait...I, I'll go back and wash up, it's too ugly." She was running and jumping at such a fast speed that even words were too late to stop her.He shook his head and laughed uncontrollably, but his heart was still heavy.

【Do you believe what she said about never using black magic? ] A voice that hadn't appeared for a long time came to Yan Bai's ear.

Yan Bai raised his eyebrows slightly【You're still there? 】

【What do you mean, of course I'm still there, but I can't get out because of your suppression. ] A figure appeared in the room, with long black hair and a blood-colored wooden crown. The demon walked around with his hands behind his back. 【The environment here is really not as good as Avalon. 】【...I don't believe she never used black magic. 】Yan Bai watched silently as he turned things upside down, and after a long time, he suddenly said such a sentence【Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to reach the land of England by herself. 】The demon then put down a magic book, straightened up and looked at him with a smile 【She hides one thing from you, and she will hide many things from you.So you still like her?Tsk tsk, the power of the curse is really powerful. 】【...You and I both know that this is not a curse. 】Yan Bai lowered his eyes, staring at the lines on his palm 【It started with a curse, but now it's not just a curse. 】【I have no illusions about you at all.I know you're stupid, frivolous, empty-headed, and yet I love you.I know your intentions, your ideals, your power and vulgarity, but I love you.I know you're a second-rate guy, but I love you. 】The Desire Heart Demon read out such a passage with a smile.

Yan Bai raised his eyes, watching his body gradually become transparent, and finally disappeared into the air [She is not stupid, on the contrary, she is very smart.She knows her charms and uses them well.She has plans, but she has been hiding it very deeply, so deep that it seems that there is nothing.She is a combination of contradictions, she is kind and cruel at the same time, her love and the love of others for her make her wonderful, but also make her extremely dangerous. 】【You and I know all this, but you still love her deeply. 】The heart demon completely disappeared after leaving this sentence, leaving Yan Bai standing alone in the room, and after a while he said to himself: "Yes, but I still love her deeply."

As said in the dialogue with the demon, Yan Bai knew that Vivienne had plans, but what he couldn't see through was what she was planning.money?The gifts she has received from various nobles including the queen and Yan Bai are enough for her to spend several lifetimes.beautiful?She was already one of England's recognized beauties.reputation?At this point, she is already one of the top ladies in high society.right?She doesn't seem to be showing it.Yan Bai relied entirely on his intuition that Vivian had something he wanted, but his intuition didn't tell him what it was.He also thought about whether to send Vivienne back to the country, but from the current point of view, Queen Guinivea and her love sisters, and she has never had any problems. send away.

"Hope is my illusion." Yan Bai muttered to himself.

His own relationships aren't going well at all, and neither does his friend seem to be.

One night, Arturia came to him and chatted with him about her recent troubles.Yan Bai was drinking water, and when he heard Knight Gawain bravely confess his love to Artoria, he almost spit out a sip of water.He coughed several times before he managed to return to normal, and stared at the troubled Artoria in shock: "You just know now?"

The person who complained was even more surprised than him: "You already knew?"

Everyone who knew that the king was a woman saw it, except the person in question.No wonder Kay once muttered in private that Al was an emotional idiot. Yan Bai always thought that Artoria knew it, but he was unwilling to respond directly.Now it seems that she is not untouched?

Why does his relationship have no hope of being responded to at all, and he wants to match other people?Yan Bai was a little depressed, and raised the magic book to cover his face: "My king, I don't make any comments on this."

Artoria took off his book angrily, and stared at him like a king: "I need advice! You are my right-hand man, the chief mage of the kingdom!"

"Excuse me, Your Majesty. The chief mage's advice does not include the king's personal feelings." He is a mage, not an expert on feelings!

Artoria covered her face dejectedly, and groaned: "I can't even look directly at Gao Wenqing now."

Confessions are irrelevant, but he finds it interesting. Those involved are confused by the onlookers, but he feels that Arturia is not meaningless to Gawain.It's just that as a king, she can't be with the white knight justifiably.

"My king is sorry, I can't help you with this matter." In the end, Yan Bai shrugged and said to Arturia, "You can make any choice, as long as you don't regret it."

Watching Arturia leave with a heavy heart, Yan Bai remembered something and stopped her: "Did something happen to the queen recently?"

Artoria turned her head, her face full of surprise: "Why do you say that?"

"I always feel that you and Vivienne have something to hide from me, and the only common connection between the two of you is the queen... Wait, is it Mordred?"

Arturia smiled and shook her head and pushed the door: "Sometimes you are so neurotic, mage."

Hearing what she said, Yan Bai also felt that he was thinking too much, including Vivian, she was obviously normal, but he couldn't fully believe him.

Seeing that Yan Bai was lost in thought, Artoria closed the door quietly and thoughtfully, and left by herself.After walking a few steps away from the mage's room, she breathed a sigh of relief: It was so dangerous, I was almost discovered.
