If there's one thing I've learned the most from tonight's dance so far, it's probably this conversation.

Because of the unexpected attack of the queen before, because of the sudden attack of the speaker of the dark council, Yi Cheng has not yet been able to make relevant requests to the British royal family about the purpose of this trip, and after tonight's ball, from tomorrow, the host party will also change from the royal family to Protestant, which is equivalent to wasting a few days in vain.

Although it was due to force majeure, and if I had to talk about it, Yi Cheng also learned some information about the British royal family, and this trip was always worth it, but considering the mission goal of the Red Mentor at the beginning, Yi Cheng originally planned to find an opportunity to ask Queen Elizabeth or Prince Christina about Lake Avalon tonight, and asked for a visit.

But what he didn't expect was that the exchange and conversation with Archbishop Sally in advance made him unexpectedly learn a piece of information-

Lake Avalon ...... It's gone.

"Avalon...... The status of this word in ancient Celtic mythology is equivalent to that of the Garden of Eden in the Bible, a sacred Pure Land of Bliss. ”

Taking the grape juice that Yi Cheng graciously handed over, Archbishop Sally had previously told Yi Cheng in detail about the "Rebellion of the Knights of the Round Table", but this time he obviously did not feel his abnormal emotions, but continued to tell the previous story in a calm tone.

“…… But in fact, Lake Avalon and Avalon Island were a gathering place for evil banshees and wizards at the time, and Avalon was ruled by nine legendary banshees, also known as the 'fairies of the lake'. ”

As the so-called...... The truth of fairy tales is often dark.

Under the narration of Archbishop Sally, in front of Yi Cheng, a complete and true ...... was finally restored Arthurian legend.

In those troubled times, evil banshees and wizards gathered to overthrow the British royal family, but the power of the royal family, combined with the existence of the state religion that supported the royal family, terrified these evil powers, and they devised a plan to lure the royal family into chaos and depravity.

First, they sent a powerful wizard, the great magician Merlin, a loyal follower of King Arthur, to induce King Arthur's father to have sex with the wife of his most trusted archduke, and in the end, the loyal archduke died without explanation, and her wife became the queen of Britain, that is, King Arthur's mother.

After that, the kingdom fell into chaos, and Merlin managed to gain the trust of the old king and queen to raise and educate King Arthur and bring him back to Avalon, when the banshees of the lake were horrified to discover that the power of the ungrown heir to the kingdom was so powerful and unimaginable that even their evil witchcraft could not affect it, and the original plan, The idea of cultivating him into a tyrannical king and puppet through evil spells was thus ruined.

So, the banshees killed the old king and queen, concealed Arthur's identity, and intended to seize the power of the kingdom, but they never thought that in the competition for the throne, the young King Arthur accidentally pulled out the "sword in the stone" guarded by the state religion, symbolizing the identity of the king of Britain, and no one had ever pulled out the "sword in the stone", and ascended the throne with the support of the state church, and finally became the new king of Britain.

After ascending to the throne, King Arthur's extraordinary abilities began to be revealed, and the kingdom began to grow stronger, and the power of the legendary king increased day by day, so the banshees felt a great threat, so King Arthur, lured by the still trusted Merlin, fought a duel against the spirit of chivalry, so as to taint the power of the sword in the stone and break it. Merlin then led King Arthur back to Lake Avalon, and the banshees, disguised as fairies, gave the king a magic sword from the lake to use as a sword, and used the magic sword to influence King Arthur's will and beliefs.

At this time, the bishop of the Church of the Church had already sensed the signs of conspiracy, and when he could not persuade King Arthur to abandon the magic sword, he added a scabbard that could block all evil thoughts, but the scabbard was then bewitched by Merlin, and King Arthur's half-sister, the daughter of the dead Grand Duke, stole it, and King Arthur, who lost the scabbard, had an inappropriate relationship with this sister.

At the same time, through another shadow son, the knight Lancelot, who had crossed paths with King Arthur when he was a child and was raised by banshees in Avalon, the banshees quietly took control of King Arthur's most powerful arm, the "Knights of the Round Table", thus encouraging King Arthur to start a journey to unify Britain and conquer the vast lands beyond Britain.

“…… It's a dead end. ”

Hearing this, even as Yi Cheng's current status as a bystander, and his understanding of the follow-up plot, he couldn't help but sigh with such feelings.

Almost all of the people closest to him are undercover agents of the banshee, and it can be said that this King Arthur is fortunate to be able to grow up, but despite this, after the sword in the stone was broken and he held a magic sword that could affect his mind at any time, the rest of his life was ...... It seems to have been naturally destined to be a tragedy.

In fact, according to the legend that Yi Cheng knew, King Arthur eventually rebelled and died at the hands of his own illegitimate son and his sister's bastard, and his soul returned to Avalon...... Considering that the plot in the first half is not much different from the legend except for conspiracy theories, it is not difficult for Yi Cheng to imagine what the ending of this story will be.

"Yes, it is undeniable that the Banshees' strategy is seamless, and under the influence of the Knights of the Round Table Lancelot and others, King Arthur no longer even trusts the state religion, which also makes him lose the most powerful arm around him who can turn the situation around."

And then ...... And then there is? ”

Yi Cheng asked tentatively.

"Of course not."

Surprisingly, Archbishop Sally smiled playfully at Yi Cheng.

"If history really follows this trend, then the British royal family, as well as Protestantism, probably no longer exists."

"Wait...... I don't understand. ”

Yi Cheng, who was full of doubts, still couldn't hold back his curiosity.

"If it's really as you just said...... I can't think of any other turnaround for King Arthur. ”

"So, before I move on to the story, I would like to remind you first......"

Seeing that Archbishop Sally suddenly became serious, Yi Cheng also subconsciously tensed his body.

"I didn't think you would discuss this topic with me before I came, but I can only say that it might be...... It is the arrangement of fate, the revelation of the Lord. ”

"Huh?"

Yi Cheng was a little confused about the bishop's sister's inexplicable explanation.

"Secondly, I want to warn you that perhaps you have not yet realized the significance and importance of your being the 'protagonist' of this era, and perhaps the ending of this story can bring you corresponding inspiration."

“……”

Why did you suddenly get to the "protagonist"?

Yi Cheng, who heard Sally's words coldly, was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly remembered something.

Yes...... That's right, isn't the legendary King Arthur a well-deserved "protagonist" in the era and history in which he lived?

"As you can imagine, that's exactly what it is—albeit a little unbelievable, at such a critical juncture, King Arthur ushered in a life-changing turnaround."

Archbishop Sally took a sip of grape juice and smiled gently.

He ...... Got the 'Holy Grail'. ”
