About Arthur King(亚瑟王)

  • Holy Grail(圣杯)——
    耶稣(Vessel)基督最后的晚餐(the Last Supper)中所使用,一个象征(sign),也是骑士们毕生寻找的宝藏。很多骑士寻找圣杯而没有回来(no return),随着骑士的减少,国力日渐衰微。
  • Merlin——
    The greatest magician, who has supernatural powers and ablitilies.
  • Sword in the Stone(石中剑)——
    After Arthur’s father Uther died, Britain has no king. Merlin gathered all the noblemen in the nation in the great church. Outside the church there was a big stone with a sword in it.
  • Excalibur(断钢剑)——
    given by the Lady of the Lake(湖之仙女), magical, powerful.

    梅林此时则告诫亚瑟:「王者之剑虽强大,但其剑鞘却较其剑更为贵重。配戴王者之剑的剑鞘者将永不流血,你决不可遗失了它。」但后来亚瑟王还是遗失了剑鞘,也因此他虽拥有削铁如泥的宝剑,最后仍为叛徒骑士莫德雷德(Mordred)所杀。而王者之剑最后则在亚瑟王的嘱咐下,由贝迪威尔(Sir Bedivere)投回湖中,与亚瑟王一齐回到精灵国度阿瓦隆(Avalon)去。

鲁尼还在不知疲倦地奔跑,如果是鲁尼是不列颠的亚瑟王的话,他的身边并没有兰斯洛特、高文、格拉海德这些圆桌骑士。
