Chapter 64: King Arthur's Investigation

"Finn the King of Elyn is not only part of the archetype of Arthurian legend, as an early figure in Celtic mythology, he is also the archetype of mythology in many parts of Europe."

Alice flipped through the books on the table, and it wasn't the first time the two of them had discussed the myth of King Arthur.

The presence of the Divine Ancestor Guinevia was the biggest obstacle to their search for the Holy Grail.

Even, they had a guess that the Holy Grail of the Magic Guide was in the hands of the Divine Ancestor Guinevia.

"Needless to say, King Arthur exists or not, just a fictional character, but the actual character that is used as a model, a large number of European historians and archaeologists have repeatedly confirmed, and at present, there is no actual historical evidence to prove that King Arthur ever existed."

Alice said, picking up a report from the table that also looked like some years:

"Medieval legend has it that he was a sixth-century king, a Christian champion who led the British tribes to defeat the Saxon invaders, and died at the Battle of Camran around 539 and was buried in Glastonbury."

The Black Prince Drake shook his head:

"But the words of Britain at that time...... It is not an independent country, but geographically, it is still part of the territory of the Roman Empire, although it is a border territory that is not valued by the Roman Empire itself, but the nobles in the territory will not allow such a thing as self-proclaimed king. ”

"Andβ€”"

Alice glanced at Drake, and a smile curled up at the corner of her mouth:

"The people who lived in England at that time were what we now call the Celts, and the Saxon descendants who threatened them from the outside at that time were the modern English, and the Celts who were expelled by the Saxons fled to modern Wales and Ireland, and the relationship between the Irish and the Scots was not good, but even the countries of East Asia knew a little about it."

Hearing this, Drake couldn't help but raise his eyebrows:

"That's right, we are the victors, and if King Arthur really exists, we are the descendants of King Arthur's enemies."

The present-day Irish, Scottish, Welsh, Cornish in England and Breton in France are all Celts.

The goddess Guinavia did not live in England, but in Brittany, France.

As he spoke, he picked up a history book of the English kings:

"The legend of King Arthur was popular in Wales in the ninth century, and Arthur was a general in command of the British army, and he was just an ordinary Roman general, with no great achievements at all. The legend of King Arthur became widely spread in the 12th century by bards who traveled across Europe. The most recognized masterpiece is The Death of King Arthur from around the 15th century. ”

European scholars are more concerned about the existence of King Arthur than they are, especially the British royal family.

He opened the list of kings of the royal family, and looked at the names and brief descriptions of kings on them:

"In the twelfth century, after the bard widely spread the legend of King Arthur, at the same time the Plantagenet Dynasty began, the British royal family claimed that their family was related to King Arthur, and in order to rule England, they loudly claimed that they were descendants of King Arthur, and even fabricated their own family tree."

A mocking smile appeared on his face at the mention of this.

Since the Great Germanic Expedition in the 11th century, the British royal family has almost exclusively been conquerors from abroad.

Not to mention whether they are descendants of Queen Arthur, they are not descendants of Britons at all.

Britannia?

Even if the so-called King Arthur really exists, the current Britain has nothing to do with King Arthur for a long time.

Looking at his victor-like expression, Alice's face was a little strange.

She was also British, and certainly not of Celtic descent at the time.

But Arthurian legend, which modern British people are proud of, does not matter at all whether they are descendants of the Celts at that time.

What matters is "England", not Celtic or England or Scotland.

"However, what we need to face is not this problem, it doesn't matter whether King Arthur is a real person or not, and the god of disobedience does not distinguish whether it is real or not."

Alice continues:

"What we have to consider is what kind of strength the other party will have if we find the Holy Grail, but meet King Arthur, who is not based on mythology."

Hearing this, Drake nodded, and then said:

"There is no doubt that King Arthur would have been the 'Hero of Steel' given the countless battles he had endured in his legends."

A lot of combat experience, that is, "steel".

The god of war, the god of war, the god of martial arts -

The gods who were born to fight, as well as those with various legends of conquest, all developed the quality of "steel".

After countless battles, their own existence is a "sword" forged by a hammer.

For the godslayers, the Heroes of Metal are mortal enemies.

Fullmetal Heroes will suddenly increase in strength when facing the Godslayer.

This is also the reason why less than a hundred years after the god-killing of gods, Tony, the king of the sword, has a strength comparable to or even equivalent to the strongest of the god-killers, the Marquis of Warban.

Tony, the King of Swords, is a godslayer and a hero of Steelhead.

The god king Nuada, as the god of warriors, has a particularly high purity of steel qualities, and as the first god killed by Tony, the king of swords, Tony has not completely inherited it, but he also has some.

Then, Siegfried, who was specially summoned by Marquis of Woban for the quality of steel, was also killed by Tony first, and Tony's quality of steel was further enhanced.

Then, he gained the power of Vulcan, the god of forging, the god of fire who also belonged to the "steel" camp.

Although the characteristics of the steel obtained by the snatch are not particularly strong, the sword king Tony himself is a warrior who is immersed in battle, especially sword fighting, and under the repeated battle grinding, the steel characteristics of the sword king Tony himself are further enhanced.

"King Arthur's strength as a hero of steel should be at least as strong as the king of swords."

Drake said, and then suddenly remembered something:

"By the way, apart from explaining that Lady Aisha is in Vienna, what should the witch of Sardinia know?"

As he spoke, he looked at Alice with scrutiny in his eyes:

"If I'm not mistaken, you deliberately hinted at my existence, and deliberately changed your name to let the other party notice this matter, so that the other party would leave so quickly."

Hearing this, Alice couldn't help but widen her eyes:

"Can't you just be tactful? Why do you always treat ladies so badly? ”

Shouldn't this kind of thing be known and not explained?

But forget it, with Drake's character, if she doesn't say it, Drake will definitely go directly to Sardinia and ask directly.

Sighing, Alice said:

"I asked her to investigate the details of Lancelot's ancient legend among the witches."

"Lancelot ......"
