Chapter 677: Too many points of confusion

"I don't know the specific situation. I only know that for some unknown reason, the king did not die, but became an immortal king while walking the earth." After all Guinevere could be considered the queen of Artoria.

As for the "unknown reason" Guinevere said, Wu Ming had some guesses.

"But strangely the king's body is not the same as before. If I insist, it's because the king is an adult."

Guinevere remembered the Lion King, who was even more feminine than herself, and pursed his lips for a moment.

Wu Ming naturally saw that Guinevere was jealous, and immediately reached out and stroked Guinevere's little head.

Guinevere was like a cat, enjoying her master's caress.

"Ah! That's right, king, she no longer wields Excalibur, but a holy spear." Guinevere added suddenly.

In Guinevere's view, the reason for not using Excalibur was probably because Excalibur had been returned to the lake spirit.

"It is inevitable that Artoria's body will grow, as neither the sheath nor the Excalibur will protect her anymore." Wu Ming explained to Guinevere while placing a hand stroking Guinevere's head.

Not only did Caliburn have a blessing like a curse on Artoria, Avalon's sheath and Excalibur also had a blessing like a curse on Artoria.

The body's inability to grow is a blessing like a curse brought on by Caliburn.

Even though she lost Caliburn, because she just got Excalibur and Avalon, Artoria didn't grow because of this.

Avalon gave Artoria the blessing that she would never be hurt and would never grow old. Although there is no clear indication of Excalibur, in King Arthur's final story, King Arthur's injured body supports Bedivere completely. She died after returning Excalibur, so Excalibur also had a blessing in disguise for Artoria.

However, Wu Ming was confused because Artoria didn't die after returning Excalibur in the lake.

It made sense that after Excalibur was returned to the lake spirit, King Arthur would fall into a deep sleep, but Artoria had become an immortal king.

However, there was also the possibility that if Excalibur was not returned to the lake spirit, then Artoria might not be able to die.

Bedivere's story of returning Excalibur three times is the best illustration.

It was clear that Artoria was seriously injured, and even with the Red Dragon's blood, she could barely hold on, but Artoria was able to hold out until Bedivere actually returned Excalibur a third time before she died.

This was probably a blessing like a curse, as long as Excalibur wasn't returned, then Artoria wouldn't die.

"Guinevere, do you know which of the Knights of the Round Table did not respond to Artoria's summon?" Wu Ming became a little serious.

Guinevere thought about it carefully, then looked at Wu Ming.

"I remember that only you, Sir Vero, Galahad, son of Sir Lancelot, and Sir Bedivere, who finally witnessed the end of the king, did not respond to the king's summon. You didn't receive the king's summons, that's not surprising, but it's strange that Sir Galahad and Sir Bedivere didn't take the call."

Guinevere knew of Wu Ming's special status, but Galahad, who had obtained the Holy Grail because of his purity of heart, and Bedivere who had witnessed the end of King Arthur and was fiercely loyal to King Arthur, did not respond to the king's summon.

While Guinevere was thinking, Wu Ming was also thinking.

Wu Ming silently said in his heart "Of course", if Bedivere didn't return Excalibur, then Artoria probably wouldn't be able to die.

And King Arthur who could not die, took the holy spear and was summoned to this era, and because of some influence, he became the Lion King.

If Bedivere doesn't return Excalibur, where does Bedivere go?

His loyalty to Artoria was no worse than anyone else's, and his heart was no worse than Galahad, who had obtained the Holy Grail.

But Bedivere did not receive the call.

Wu Ming frowned subconsciously.

Guinevere came back to her senses, and when she saw Wu Ming frown, she couldn't help but panic.

Guinevere thought it was because she mentioned Lancelot, which caused Wu Ming to be displeased, so Guinevere hurriedly explained to Wu Ming.

"Thatthat, the legend about me and Sir Lancelot in the next generation is not true. I have nothing with Sir Lancelot..."

However, a finger touched Guinevere's mouth, preventing her from continuing to speak.

"I'm not frowning because of Sir Lancelot, and I'm thinking about other things. You don't need to explain, no matter what, I trust you." Wu Ming said as he put down his finger.

Wu Ming looked at Guinevere with a firm and trusting gaze, which made Guinevere very touched.

"Sir Vero..." Guinevere covered her mouth with both hands, with tears in her eyes, looking moved.

"Good~ don't cry."

As if coaxing his girlfriend, Wu Ming gently stroked Guinevere's little head, and Guinevere stroked it deliberately.

After that, Wu Ming and Guinevere chatted.

"By the way, how did you know it was me who entered?" Wu Ming asked.

After all, after Wu Ming opened the door, Guinevere immediately rushed over.

"That's because I have a good relationship with Sir Vero~" Guinevere replied jokingly.

Then Guinevere was beaten by Wu Ming.

"Actually, I found it with Magecraft" Guinevere replied sadly, holding her small head which was startled by Wu Ming.

Then, Guinevere took out a gadget like a shining compass.

Wu Ming took it and looked at it carefully.

Wu Ming discovered that after he took over the compass-style gadget, the gadget began to glow, and a compass-like object pointed directly at him.

"So this is the instrument you made especially to find me?"

Guinevere nodded honestly. After all, she was also a Magus. If there was something like someone's hair, she would still perform this type of search magic to find that person.

As Guinevere's guardian knight, Guinevere wanted to get Wu Ming's hair, but it wasn't easy to get it.

Wu Ming didn't know whether to laugh or cry, then he returned the gadget to Guinevere, who kept it treasured.

After that, Guinevere and Wu Ming chatted.

During the chat, Wu Ming learned that this was actually Artoria's bedroom. After all, Guinevere gave Gawain an order as Artoria, so he had to take her to Artoria.

However, the reason why Artoria was no longer here was simply because she just woke up today.

So where did the awakened Artoria go? Wu Ming couldn't help but be curious.

At this time, the bedroom door suddenly opened.
