Chapter 45 Spell Retaliation
There will be a change later.
Great Britain conquered the capital of the Visigothic kingdom in World War I, making this kingdom, which was only known on the mainland because of the wisdom of King Uther, become one of the top powers on the continent overnight, a country with the strength to destroy other kingdoms, and now on the continent it is nothing more than the Franks and the Eastern Roman Empire, and the Saxons, who suddenly appeared in front of everyone like Great Britain.
When Artoria returned to Lundy Newman with the news of her victory, the city's inhabitants spontaneously came to the gates to greet the king of Great Britain.
The current state of the kingdom is unbelievable to the people of the country, they have been humiliated by foreign enemies for decades, and they have not resisted, even if King Uther has worked hard, but the kingdom is still so weak. Until Artoria appeared, it was the young king who led her Knights of the Round Table to repel foreign enemies to protect the kingdom, and it was she who built the kingdom with the help of the Prophet Merlin and the Sage of Charles, and brought them a peaceful and prosperous life.
The king is just, the king treats them as commoners, the king is selfless, the king is the best king in this world. This is how the people of the Kingdom of Great Britain now respect Artoria, who revere her and love her.
And with such popular support, the Kingdom of Great Britain has taken another step towards the pinnacle. This made Merlin very happy standing on the stargazing platform by the palace.
Merlin, the prophet of the kingdom, who assisted King Uther in holding the weak kingdom of Great Britain through the storm, and now he assisted Artoria to bring the kingdom to its peak.
"Fate, as the kingdom grows stronger, my strength has also increased, and now in my eyes, the fog of fate has dissipated." Merlin looked up at the starry night sky and muttered.
"But why can't I find a way to avoid destruction, and even if my strength increases, there is nothing I can do about it? Where are the variables? Merlin thought of the scene he had seen in the long river of fate, and his original feeling of relief suddenly became low.
"That's right, Charles!" Merlin suddenly thought of this friend who had worked with him for many years, when he came to the kingdom, Merlin had wanted to observe the fate of the other party, but he found that he only saw a fog, and he did not know anything about the fate and origin of the other party. This made Merlin know that the other party was extraordinary, and promoted the other party into the eyes of King Uther, and now the kingdom far exceeded the strength of the original destiny, proving his accuracy.
"But now that I have a new understanding of fate, I might as well try again, maybe the life is in the other party." A glint flashed in Merlin's eyes, and his originally gloomy expression suddenly brightened.
Raising the staff in his hand, Merlin whispered a strange rhythm of incantations, and a faint white light spread out from under his feet, gradually winding around the stargazing platform to form a mysterious and complex formation, and his body gradually left the ground until it was completely floating in mid-air.
Strong winds blew from Merlin's body to the surroundings, forming gusts of wind, and from a distance, only a vague figure could be seen. Sweat trickled down Merlin's forehead, and his ruddy face grew paler and paler as the circle under his feet brightened.
"Damn, I was so reckless! I didn't expect that the loss of this time to cast the prophecy spell would be so large, I don't know if I can hold on to it next. A trace of chagrin flashed in Merlin's heart, because of the excitement in his heart, Merlin forgot to meditate to restore his spirit to the peak, so he rashly began to observe fate.
But as Merlin gritted his teeth and insisted, the stargazing platform under his feet was finally completely covered by mysterious formations, which made Merlin, who was already about to hold on, have a trace of surprise in his eyes, and hurriedly pointed the staff in his hand towards the center of the stargazing platform.
A little bit of bright light suddenly appeared on the array, and the flickering light was like the stars in the night sky, no, if you look closely, you can really see that the position of that little bit of light corresponds to the position of the stars in the night sky overhead.
Merlin didn't care about this, he knew that his prophecy was biased towards the astrologer, and his attention was now completely focused on the stargazing platform at his feet, his eyes fixed on the ball of light that represented the position of the stars in the circle, wanting to see the revelation of fate.
Suddenly something happened, a violent Gangfeng burst out from the center of the formation, Gangfeng didn't have time to react in Merlin, but after subconsciously laying a protective spell on his body, Gangfeng swept the entire stargazing platform.
Under Merlin's horrified gaze, the formation on the stargazing platform only flickered a few times in the wind and then suddenly dimmed, which made Merlin's mind be violently impacted, his old face had turned pale because of the excessive consumption of the previous spell, and now it was even more iron-blue flashed, and a mouthful of blood spat out of Merlin's mouth and dripped on his brown robe.
At the moment when the circle was extinguished under the wind, a ray of light shot out from the circle and projected into Merlin's mind. After the magic circle was extinguished, Gangfeng quickly disappeared, leaving only a mess of stargazing platforms, which made Merlin, who could only rely on the support of his magic staff and lean on the side of the stargazing platform, with only a wry smile on his face.
Thinking of a message from the circle at the end, Merlin clicked directly on it, regardless of his injuries, wanting to see what it was about subjecting him to such a powerful backlash of fate.
But at the moment when he just clicked on it, Merlin suddenly felt a hot breath mixed with sulfur rushing to his face, which made Merlin stunned for a moment, and his face suddenly changed drastically, and he suddenly thought of where this breath came from.
"Hell! Is Charles the devil, or the devil! Damn it! ”
At the same time, while Merlin was using prophecy to investigate Charles's identity, Charles, who was sitting in his study and was dealing with the affairs of the kingdom, suddenly felt a feeling of being spied on, which made his brow furrow sharply.
"System, what's going on, why, I feel as if my soul has been scanned." Charles, who had never encountered such a situation, asked the system in his head.
"This is someone who has probed the fate of the host, which may reveal the host's identity and origin."
Hearing the system's explanation, a look of realization flashed in Charles's eyes, in this world, he will be interested in himself and has this strength, it is estimated that he has not understood the depth of the other party's Merlin even if he has been in contact for many years.
But now that he knew what was going on, Charles naturally had a means to deal with it. Just when that sense of peeping had just swept over his body, ready to look deep into Charles' soul. A cold light in Charles's eyes suddenly shot out an inch away from his eyes, and a huge spiritual power slammed into the peeping feeling with this cold light.
The strong sense of impact suddenly came to his mind, so that Charles couldn't help but look dark, and hurriedly reached out to help him on the table and barely lay down, but Charles only waited for the dizziness to subside a little, and then rang the golden bell on the table.
A petite figure opened the door of the study and walked in, but the innocent face was mixed with a charm that people couldn't help but indulge in.
"Winyss, you hurry to Merlin's observatory and catch him before anyone else arrives. Remember, don't let anyone notice, go ahead! ”
"Yes, my master." After the little girl saluted Charles, a ripple flashed in the space in front of her, and the little girl's figure disappeared into the study.
Charles sat down in the seat behind him with a sigh of relief when he saw his subordinate Vanice leave, but there was a smile on his face.
"Merlin, I was still worried about how to deal with you, but I didn't expect you to send the opportunity to it yourself, after being counterattacked by the failure of the spell, I don't know how much strength you have left."
