#657 - Chapter 28 The Legend of Arthur

Vivian saw what had just happened as soon as she came out. Her heart tightened, and before she could think, she rushed forward and ran straight to Liu Yuan's side, asking with concern, "Honey, are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?" As she spoke, she quickly raised Liu Yuan's arm and carefully examined it.

Liu Yuan shook his head gently and replied, "I'm fine, but... this nasty guy broke my watch! It was a Patek Philippe classic, very expensive!" With that, he raised his wrist to show the empty space.

Edmund quickly walked up to Liu Yuan, a look of guilt on his face, and said sincerely, "I'm really sorry, this was all just a misunderstanding. I specifically invited Miss Vivian here to explain the truth to you. As for your damaged watch, please rest assured, I will definitely be responsible for compensation. By the way, let me introduce myself. My name is Edmund Burton, and I am the owner of this castle."

Liu Yuan frowned and responded with some dissatisfaction, "But your way of inviting guests is really special, not friendly at all! There's no reason to treat guests like this!"

Edmund: "This is my negligence. Can you stop your Transformers? We can go inside and talk."

Cogman: "Master, this person is obviously not normal. Ordinary humans can't withstand my attacks."

Liu Yuan ignored him and shouted outside, "Ironhide, come back!"

The fighting outside stopped, and the tall Ironhide walked into the castle. When passing the overturned Centurion, he thought for a moment and reached out to pull him up. Behind Ironhide was a dejected Hot Rod, who muttered, "We're all old acquaintances, yet you still hit so hard. Ironhide, how are you still alive? I heard you were ambushed and killed by Sentinel Prime a few years ago."

"I thought you were dead long ago too. I didn't expect you to be hiding on Earth all this time," Ironhide said unhappily.

Edmund: "Mr. Liu Yuan, let's go inside and talk! Cogman, make some tea."

Cogman muttered, "Okay! I'm just a handyman."

Edmund: "Sorry, the Transformers can be so willful sometimes. You have to communicate with them slowly."

Liu Yuan: "Okay, let's get down to business. Why did you bring Vivian here?"

Edmund: "Please wait a moment. Where were we? Oh right, King Arthur. It all started in 484 AD, when King Arthur and his great wizard Merlin defeated the invading Saxon tribes at the Battle of Badon Hill. The sword on the table is the one he used at the time."

Vivian: "Is there really such a person in history? I always thought it was just a legend."

Edmund: "In the period before written records, history was passed down orally. Every legend and myth, if carefully examined, will have a reasonable explanation."

Vivian: "I agree with that, but the magic in it is illogical."

Liu Yuan: "Honey, actually, all high technology that is beyond our understanding is similar to magic. Cybertronian technology seems magical to us now, let alone the ancients more than a thousand years ago."

Edmund: "You're right, we're here."

Cogman pushed open the door and turned on the lights. Under the light, it was a church-like council chamber.

Edmund: "Do you see? Everything here is built around that table. The legendary figures we know so well, they sat around it. A total of twelve people, and behind them are twelve ancient knights from Cybertron. In Camelot, twelve alien knights witnessed that solemn moment. They are also a race that pursues honor."

Vivian seemed to be infected by the atmosphere. She unconsciously reached out to touch the metal round table. "Buzz!" All the swords on the table floated up. Vivian was startled and dodged back, an arm wrapped around her waist.

"Don't be afraid! I'm here..." Liu Yuan comforted her softly, holding her.

Edmund: "This table was brought by those ancient knights, but the symbols on it are not Cybertronian. Cogman and the other Transformers don't recognize them either. I've studied these symbols my whole life and still haven't figured out what they mean. Uh... Cogman! Can you please stop playing the organ? You're ruining the atmosphere."

Cogman stopped playing: "Okay, I just wanted to add some epic atmosphere."

Liu Yuan: "Nice organ playing!"

Cogman: "Thank you for the compliment!"

Edmund: "Okay, let's continue. Those alien knights gave Merlin a staff said to be the scepter of their gods and bound it to his DNA. Therefore, only he could use the staff. This is Merlin's staff, said to have the power to destroy the entire world. At that time, the staff was buried with Merlin, and the twelve ancient knights turned into huge three-headed dragons and slumbered in Merlin's tomb. We have guarded this secret for over 1,500 years."

Liu Yuan: "Since this secret has been kept for over 1,000 years, wouldn't it be better to let it continue to be buried? Why reveal it?"

Edmund: "Actually, it has something to do with you. I'm the only one left in the entire Order of the Witwiccans, and I'm getting old. This responsibility must be passed on. Originally, the person I chose was Sam Witwicky, but his health is very poor, and he may die before me. At this time, you suddenly appeared by Vivian's side."

Liu Yuan: "I understand. It seems you've investigated me. You think I might have other purposes for approaching Vivian, right?"

Edmund: "That's right, Mr. Liu Yuan, we have indeed investigated you. Your appearance was too sudden, and you directly intervened in the Transformers' conflict, and your figure has been seen in several major events. We can't determine your position, and you suddenly appeared next to Merlin's only descendant, so we had to react."

Liu Yuan smiled disdainfully and asked Vivian, "Honey, do you trust me?"

Vivian directly offered a kiss: "Of course I trust you, darling."

Liu Yuan said to Edmund, "You see? But, now that you mention it, I'm interested in Merlin's staff."

Edward: "Mr. Liu Yuan, that idea of yours is very dangerous."

Liu Yuan: "Perhaps! So, Count Folgen, do you have anything else? If not, we'll take our leave."

Edward hesitated, and finally said, "This time I was presumptuous. I hope we will have the opportunity to continue talking about the Order of the Witwiccans in the future. Cogman, see them out for me."

Cogman: "Okay, this way please."
