  • He also brought the King to a hermit that healed his wounds in three days
  • Arthur and Merlin left the hermit and rode together when Arthur said "I have no sword"
  • Merlin told him to be patient
  • They came to a large lake and Arthur beheld in an arm rising out of the water holding up a sword
  • Merlin said that is the sword I spoke of and that is the lady of the lake coming to give you the sword
  • When she got close Arthur saluted her and whether the sword is his
  • She replied the sword is yours and if you give me what I ask you and he said he would
  • She told him it was Excalibur and that her gift she will ask in time
  • King Arthur and Merlin went to obtain the sword and when they left Merlin saw the King admiring the sword and asked which is better the scabbard or the sword
  • Arthur replied he liked the sword 
  • Merlin told him he was unwise to say that for the scabbard is worth ten of the sword
  • They rode into Carlion and Arthur's knights gave him a glad welcome and said it was a joy serve under a king who risked his life as much as any common man
