After watching Game of Thrones for so many years, I have never been able to extricate myself from the fantasy and weirdness, loyalty and love that cannot be ignored in medieval Europe.
Medieval castle
In British history, there is a "Dark Age" that no one can ignore, and countless Western literatures have been created around the Dark Ages, and one of the most legendary figures in the Dark Ages is King Arthur, who has not yet been able to determine whether he exists or not.
Arthur Pendragon, also known as Arthur Pendragon, commonly known as King Arthur, was the legendary king of ancient Britain. He is known more from Celtic myths and legends and medieval wild history documents. Legend has it that he was the leader of the Knights of the Round Table, an almost mythical legend known as the "Once and Future King" (The Ever and Future King). ——Baidu Encyclopedia
Cover of King Arthur
Over the weekend, I read the British historical novelist Bernard Cornwell's King Arthur Vol. I. The Winter King (later known as Arthur Vol. I), in which Bernard Conwell told the story of King Arthur in the Kingdom of Britain.
Bernard Cornwell is an English historical novelist whose representative works include The Adventures of Richard Sharp and The Legend of Saxons. His works are mostly set against the backdrop of major wars in various periods, and are known for their complex human nature and profound story structure. In his pen, truth and fiction are intertwined, and the vanished history is once again on the paper. As of 2015, his global works have sold more than 30 million copies, and the author of "A Song of Ice and Fire" George W. Bush has sold more than 30 million copies. R.R. Martin has publicly stated that Cornwell is his favorite historical novelist.
This is a King Arthur that we have never known, in this "Arthur Volume I", there is no habitual sword in the stone, no fairy in the lake, no fog of Avalon, and a founding legend slowly unfolds...

The story begins with the birth of The new Crown Prince Of Demonia, Mordred.
Inner page
In the cold winter, this baby, who carried the hopes of his grandfather Supreme King User, came to this world half a year after the death of his father, in the expectation of the elderly grandfather Supreme King Usse.
He is the royal bloodline recognized by the Supreme King Usse, and was sent by the Supreme King Usse to the residence of the mage Merlin at birth, and the madman's gathering place Avalon was sheltered, he was the supreme crown prince of the kingdom of Demonia, but he was born a weak cripple!
middle ages
The life of the Supreme King, User, was a glorious life, with countless conquests and a stable land, but after losing his son in old age, he made careful arrangements for whether the new crown prince he only recognized could grow up and take over his power.
After the death of The Supreme King Usser, the kingdom will be temporarily handed over to a council headed by the former enemy, Theradh's mother's new husband, Ganderias of Serurea, until the boy grows up to the age of a sword.
King Tujuk of Gwent, The Warrior Owen, and Mage Merlin, as the three oath protectors, will swear with their lives to protect the boy, and if the boy's life is in danger, the three oath protectors will avenge the boy even if they pay the price of their lives.
oath
This is a child who has been full of power from birth, and his life is destined to be full of blood and legend.
Arthur, his uncle, was the illegitimate son of the Supreme King, Uther, who did not recognize his bloodline.
In the ancient Middle Ages, pedantic people regarded blood as extremely important.
Arthur, the god of war, is the uncrowned king, and is god's enemy.
merlin
Merlin adopts all kinds of disabled and insane people in his territory, including The Girl Nimu who didn't die in the storm and dewa, a boy who crawled out of the grave of the dead.
The two children who grew up together, Nemu wants to be a mage as powerful as Merlin, and Deva wants to be a warrior.
On the day Merlin left, too many stories happened.
After the death of the Supreme King Usser, Ganderias first broke his oath and killed the Supreme King Usesh to his wife, and also killed the Crown Prince, who wanted to dominate the kingdom of Demonia.
Killing comes with power
The kind nurse and carpenter husband replaced the crown prince with their own children and saved the crown prince's life.
A group of lunatics carrying the Crown Prince on their way to escape, full of difficulties, and finally when their lives are on the line, they are saved by Owen and Arthur, who have rushed to the scene.
Deva's path of growth is the history of the turbulent Kingdom of Demonia.
Whether it's Owen's greed for breaking the warrior's oath, or Arthur's decision to challenge the warrior Owen on behalf of justice, you can see the intense bloodshed and medieval wilderness.
The environment is harsh, but the vows are loud!
Nemu and Deva's vow allows the two to rescue each other several times in their lives. Deva went to the Isle of the Dead to rescue Nemo, and what I saw was the madness that modern society also has.
Love is always the topic and variable of history.
The upright Arthur, bent on running a peaceful Britain for the young King Mordred, but when peace was coming, he fell in love with a woman he should not love, and the dream of peace was shattered and wars broke.
There are power games at the top, and there are life forms at the bottom.
In Deva's account, justice occasionally arrives late, but never absent.
Merlin, who was waiting so hard, was originally hidden in the library on the island seeking the thirteen artifacts of salvation. Deva's humble old man, who wants to keep his oath of protection regardless of his own safety when his life is hanging on the line, turns out to find that it is Merlin.
It was Dewa and the bastard prince who saved Merlin, and it was Merlin who took the two unlucky people out of the trap.
King Arthur's Round Table
Merlin's appearance is always full of mystery and powerful aura, and later, Merlin helps Deva get out of trouble again and again, helps Arthur get out of trouble, it seems that Merlin is on their side, but where is the absolute black and white and justice in the world?
Britain, the mighty Britain, the fragmented Britain, the constant civil strife of Britain, the abandonment of faith and the depth of sin in Britain, in this land, Christians and infidels are constantly devouring each other, countries are constantly fighting, who is the righteous side? Who is the winning side?
In "King Arthur Volume I", there are many depictions of bloody war scenes, and compared with film and television works, although the picture sense of the text is not so intuitive, I prefer such a magnificent and meticulous description, which can have more imagination space.
Arthur's attitude of taking responsibility for his actions in the valley, the attitude of Arthur in which he was not very successful, the noble chivalry, the willingness to pay his own price, the courage to know that he still had the courage to fight.
It was the first time I knew about the setting of the ghost wall, and sure enough, there are countless treasures hidden in historical novels!
In Game of Thrones, the outside of Winter City is the Otherworld, and in King Arthur, the story of King Winter is not yet finished! Wait until I finish volume two and three...
