The county of Orkney is located about twenty miles off the northern coast of Caledonia (Scotland), and it is made up of more than 70 islands such as Maynland, Hoy, South and Northern Ronaldsay and Barre, of course, this is more than a thousand years later, and it is no longer known whether these islands are now called that.

In this small archipelago country, there are only about a dozen large islands inhabited, although the total land area is about 1,000 square kilometers, when the total population is less than 10,000...... They consisted mainly of a large part of the Celts, a small number of Saxon slaves, and some descendants of the Romans who migrated north.

Due to the topography, the people here lived mainly on a small amount of trade, less developed agriculture, animal husbandry and a very developed fishery, and lived a largely self-sufficient life under the rule of the King of Orkney.

Because it is far from the mainland, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so it is basically not invaded by those savage Saxons, so that this country, even if the national strength is weak, can live a relatively rich and peaceful life, which is incomparable to those Celts in southern Britain.

Although, this country with a population of less than 10,000 people seems a bit ridiculous, because originally Britain was the suzerainty here was the Western Roman Empire, and the supreme commander of the empire was the emperor...... Therefore, in places like Western Europe or Britain, as long as there is a legal territory and soldiers, you can basically claim the title of king, even if there is only one city and castle!

In fact, at a time when the Eastern and Western Roman Empires were in chaos and struggling to resist the invasion of Rome by the Germans, Saxons, Goths, etc., it was common for the state to be in turmoil and the hegemony of kings.

Long ago, Orkney was an important part of the British Province, under the indirect jurisdiction of the Roman Empire, and was an important military outpost used by the Romans to spy on and threaten the northern barbarian Saxons.

However, many years ago, when the Western Roman Emperor Honorius chose to abandon the province of Britain and completely withdraw his troops to return to Gaul to fight, this place began to be decided by the king of Orkney County and continues to this day. And when many years ago, when Yusher's eldest daughter, the princess Morgan, married into this kingdom, it was natural that this place was gradually controlled by Morgan.

After all, she's a powerful magician, with the protection of all of Britain and the power of magic! In such a situation, it is not too easy for her to casually set up the king of a small kingdom or directly charm and control something.

All Orkney people know that the princess has been in power in the kingdom for nearly twenty years, and she has everything in her hands!

But today, when a certain powerful hostess Morgan came back, she looked a little embarrassed, and seemed to have been injured?

In short, when Sir Gawain, a knight and elder brother, was teaching his sister Gareth and brother Gareth some swordsmanship and some of the techniques of defense on the lawn outside his king's castle today, the three of them were only surprised to see that in the sudden explosion of a cloud of magic, their omnipotent mother, Morgan, suddenly appeared from the fog, and then rushed straight to the castle without saying a word, clutching her bloody shoulders......

"Don't worry, keep practicing here!"

Seeing that there seemed to be something wrong with today's situation, Gao Wen quickly calmed his younger brother and younger sister, and then turned around and followed in, wanting to see what was going on.

Others don't know, but he Gawain knows better than anyone else the true strength of their mother! Therefore, in addition to expressing concern and concern for the other party's injury, he also felt very shocked and faintly uneasy!

can make their mother hurt like this, and have to flee back in embarrassment, it will definitely not be a simple character, right?

"Mother, what's wrong with you......?"

Worried and followed a little bit of blood to the door of his mother's bedroom, after knocking on the door and breaking in without waiting for a reply, Gawain saw that their mother was dealing with the blood-stained wound on her shoulder with the help of a maid, and it didn't seem too serious to see that the other party could still sit upright?

"What else?"

"Humph! It's just a fight with an old rival, and then I accidentally got a sword! ”

Glancing at his own and the eldest son, Morgan snorted coldly and lightly.

Although she didn't please that damn Merlin herself, the other party must be more annoyed and angry than herself now, right? Gee...... Her sister 'Arthur' is really powerful, she dares to disobey that Merlin's plan and directly use the identity of a woman to draw a sword and claim the king? Presumably now, in Camelot, it must be very lively, right?

It's a pity that she was not lightly injured, but she didn't dare to continue to stay near the church in Camelot to observe the form, for fear that Merlin would find out and catch her and beat her again, so she used the powerful magic of the earth to transfer to her lair and territory in an instant to her own lair and territory of Orkney Castle.

"Fight with an old enemy...... Who the hell is that?! ”

Frowning slightly, Gawain thought for a moment, he didn't remember any old rivals or enemies in Orkney County.

For, their Orkney Islands are located in the northern part of Caledonia (Scotland), and they seem to have no other enemies than the barbaric Germanic barbarian tribes that occupy Caledonia, except for the savage Saxons, and a small number of Frisians and Jutes, right?

The natural favorable terrain of the Orkney Islands has kept them away from the invasion of the strife enemies in the south, and in addition to beware of those barbarians crossing the sea, they can almost be said to be a paradise north of Britain.

Especially after his mother Morgan married into this Orkney county, under the protection of her powerful magic, the vast sea more than twenty miles wide became a moat that the Saxon barbarians would never dare to cross!

For, no matter how many warships the barbarians came, it was not enough for the storm to overturn and sink them into the sea to feed the fish.

However, when he was about to look up, he saw that the other party had taken off his shirt without seeing it and showed himself a smooth back, so he quickly lowered his head, not daring to take any offense.

"Humph! My son, you don't have to worry about my affairs, and you don't need to think about everything! ”

"Or ...... Your eagle's wings are now hardened, and you want to dominate the country and take back what belongs to you from my mother's hands? ”

After changing out of the bloody clothes and lightly draping himself in a light gauze dress, Morgan waved away the maid, then stood up, stood up in front of the tall eldest son, gently lifted the other's smooth chin with two fingers, and then threw a wink at the other party affectionately.

Her eldest son is now almost nineteen years old, tall and handsome, half a head taller than her mother!

"Nope! Mother, there is no such thing! ”

Seeing that his mother had come to this set again, Gao Gao hurriedly lowered his head again and took two steps back with a red face.

He didn't like the other party's intimate behavior very much, although he also knew that the other party was deliberately teasing himself and wanted to see himself ugly, but this approach would make him feel a little at a loss, and he also faintly disgusted with the other party's often revealing this kind of bewitching and charming posture.

It didn't matter if it had been when he was a little kid a few years ago, and he also liked to be close to his beautiful mother...... But now, after he Gao Wen grew up and turned eighteen years old, the other party still looked like this bewitching beauty of about twenty years old, which made him a little puzzled and embarrassed.

Time seems to have never left any traces on his mother, even if the other party gave birth to himself and several younger siblings!

Even, the other party seems to be more beautiful and moving than a rich businessman's lady he has a crush on? If it weren't for the fact that he had been by each other's side since childhood, I'm afraid even he wouldn't believe that his Gawain and the other siblings, the common mother, are now in their thirties and almost forty years old, right?

Perhaps, in a few years, after he has a scumbag beard, the other party can even pretend to be his sister and go out to visit that small market with him?

Sure enough, there is a reason why he is a little reluctant to get too close to his mother now, the other party is really too weird, maybe, it is the reason for those evil magic and witchcraft, it must be?

"Oh? Do you have it...... Still don't dare to think that way? ”

Seeing that his son took two steps back to avoid him, Morgan was not annoyed, so he smiled wickedly and walked to the window, slightly propped up the high castle ledge, looked at the two siblings of Garhoris and Gareth who were training in the grassy garden below, and waved his hand when he saw them look up, indicating that he was fine.

Looking at the two little cubs below, the more Morgan thought about it, the more pity he felt...... So far, she Morgan has raised a total of four children, but as a result, there is no one who can inherit her ability!

They are all stupid guys with simple minds and well-developed limbs, what is good about being that kind of knight, who knows how to fight and kill and slash all day long, and where is the convenience and practicality of magic?

Perhaps, after a while, she'll really have to learn from that damn Merlin and try to get an android out of her own for a little while? So that it has a strong physical power and a strong magic power? It seems that this is really the only option?

"Mother!"

"I've never thought like that, and I don't dare to think like that!"

Gawain still kept his head down, not daring to look at his mother's delicate figure under the light veil, but justified it word by word.

"What are you so nervous about?"

"What if you have it, and what if you don't...... Could it be that I can still eat you? Hum! Gawain...... That's why I've always been a little unhappy with you, your so-called chivalric dogma, turning your good and good guy into a staggy shit! ”

Turning around, he first looked his eldest son who he hadn't seen for a while with some dissatisfaction, and then Morgan sneered and mocked the other party, and then his expression suddenly stiffened slightly, and he quickly reached out to cover the wound on his shoulder.

"What you've taught me is that I'll try to correct it!"

Seeing that his mother seemed to have accidentally pulled the injury, Gawain hurriedly took two steps forward, gently held the other party's hand and slowly led him to a chair to sit down, while admitting his mistake and answering seriously.

"You've said that many times......"

"Looks like I'm right, Gawain...... Your eagle's wings are indeed hardened, and now you dare to lie to me. ”

After resting on the stool for a while with the wound on his shoulder, Morgan slowly opened his eyes and glared at his eldest son, who had already stood a few steps away and continued to look down on his eyebrows.

Although she had given her shoulder a potion to heal the injury, within three to five days, pain and discomfort would definitely be indispensable! That damn Merlin, he really got a dead hand at that time! If it weren't for the fact that she ran fast, if the other party's attack was limited to that local ideal township, I'm afraid she wouldn't have injured her shoulder right now.

"Alright, don't say it! I can't die from this little injury, you don't have to stay here any longer, I want to rest for a while now, you can go out by yourself! ”

Seeing that the other party still wanted to defend something, and she didn't want to talk to her dull and serious eldest son, she directly waved her hand and asked her to get out of front of her quickly.

"Yes! Rest well, Mother, and I'll go down and instruct Garhoris and Gareth first. ”

Nodding his head, after making sure that the other party was really fine, Gao Wen didn't say anything more, and just turned his head and walked out. Now, he needs to go down there to tell his two younger siblings who didn't dare to come with him to say that they are safe.

After all, they are very afraid of this mother, and they generally don't dare to follow up casually to find scolding.

"You wait first!"

When his eldest son was at the door and was about to leave, Morgan didn't know what he was thinking, and suddenly called out to the other party.

"What else do you command?"

The door didn't close, Gawain just turned around and stood straight by the ornate solid wood door, looking at the magician mother who was sitting in a chair in the room, waiting for the other party's order.

"If you calculate the time, Gawain is now over eighteen years old, and you will soon be nineteen! Sure enough, my son has grown up, and it seems that it is time for it......"

Tapping his fingers lightly on the small white pine table beside him, Morgan looked down and thought about it for a while, and suddenly laughed wickedly again, almost scaring her eldest son away.

“……”

Gawain didn't speak, just stood upright, staring at the ground without squinting, waiting for the other party's orders.

Although he didn't know that the other party suddenly mentioned his age, what was it for? It's just that when he saw his mother's weird smile again, he swallowed a little embarrassed, and his legs and stomach tensed a little.

From the other party's expression, you don't have to guess that now, his magician mother is definitely not thinking about anything good! So, he hurriedly prayed secretly, hoping that the other party would not hit him with some bad ideas? And don't punish yourself, or let yourself do some task that violates the rules of chivalry?

"Gawain, you hurry up and prepare now, take fifty cavalry in a few days, and go directly to Camelot!"

Due to the terrain, the dispersion of the country, and the small population of Orkney County, in addition to less than a thousand infantry and sailors, there are only less than 150 cavalry and knights who act as a guard of honor, so Morgan thought about it and directly planned to let his son take a third of them and go to the Kingdom of Carmellot in southern Britain.

"Camelot?"

"But, Mother! Didn't you say before that the throne of the King of Britain in Camelot had already been given to those who were engaged in intrigues, and that none of our brothers or other knights should respond and waste their strength? ”

"So how are you ...... now?"

This matter, the high temperature has known for a long time.

Knight, after the news that Camelot was going to draw his sword and choose a king, of course he Gawain was also itching, and he also thought about participating in the election of the king, striving to get a throne with his strong strength and stay away from the shadow of his mother? But where did he think that when he was still preparing to set off some time ago, he was hit hard by the inside news brought by the mother in front of him!

Because, the throne of Camelot has already been given to a certain illegitimate son of King Uther named Arthur by some conspirators, and that sword has also been magical, except for a certain person, which no one can pull up! The whimsical knights who ran to Camelot were just foils, and they would certainly not be able to take the throne.

It was precisely because of listening to his mother's words that Gawain regretfully gave up that somewhat unrealistic idea at that time.

Besides, now that the time is calculated, the king contest is already the second day...... Presumably the new king has already been chosen, right? So now, he Gawain is going south by boat and spending half a month or more to reach Camelot, is this to celebrate and give gifts to the new king?

If it is such a trivial matter, it is enough to send a messenger with a few people, and he himself might as well stay at home and teach his younger brothers and sisters.

"I didn't want you to waste your energy, and that's because their assailant king is Arthur Pendragon!"

"But now ......"

"Why did I let you go again...... That's because some funny little guy doesn't want to be King Arthur, but a queen! ”

At this, Morgan himself suddenly burst out laughing cheerfully.

Because she stopped it in time, that Merlin hadn't been able to correct or change anything, and before she ran back to Orkney, she had seen that her funny sister, that hapless girl, didn't even have a knight who was loyal to her?!

Originally, she wanted to observe for a while, but when Merlin appeared in front of her sister and clashed with the cavalry and a certain little witch, she didn't dare to linger for fear of being discovered by the other party and the terrible situation that her injuries would have to be dealt with.

"Want to be a queen?!"

Gawain frowned when he heard this, a little unsure of what his mother wanted to say, and he didn't know what the purpose of letting him go to Gallome after the dust had settled.

Anyway, the more he listened, the more confused he became, and the more he listened, the more confused he became.

"That's right! It's the Queen! ”

"Gawain, I mean: let you pick fifty horsemen, and go to Camelot, to pay your respects to that Artoria Pendragon, and to swear allegiance to your aunt who wants to be queen! I don't know why, but I suddenly wanted to see how far she could go. ”

That's right, that's what Morgan wants to do now.

Now, she doesn't hate the 'Arthur' who successfully won the throne of Camelot, but has become very interested?

In short, her current thinking is: whatever Merlin supports, she Morgan will definitely oppose and destroy; And if Merlin opposes the boycott, she will just agree with and support it! She's going to go against that bastard legendary magician who doesn't agree to let herself inherit the throne, and even hurts herself!

Of course, if there are any other purposes, that's another story...... Now, she just had the inspiration to lay a pawn in advance, and to observe and guard against that Merlin. If you could, it would be fun to bring that sister to your side, right?

"...... Artoria Pendragon"

"I'm sorry, Mother, I don't remember that we have such a relative, and I don't remember that Euthy Pendragon has such a daughter!"

If you don't mention the illegitimate child mentioned earlier, his mother is the only daughter of Uther Pendragon, and this is something that all Britons know! And this is also the reason why Camelot will have such a ridiculous thing as drawing his sword and choosing the king! Because, Camelot's royal family is no longer heir, and it stands to reason that those lands should be inherited in the names of his Gawain mother or their nephews.

But as a result, what did they want to play to draw their swords and choose the king, and then suddenly an illegitimate daughter who wanted to be the king appeared, and at the same time she was also their own aunt? The matter of a woman being king, Gawain thought the same as the other knights, and he couldn't accept it either, even if the other party was his aunt!

In fact, even if his Morgan mother wanted to be the king of Orkney, he would be vehemently opposed!

"Artoria Pendragon is the illegitimate son of Uther I told you before, and she is actually Arthur Pendragon!"

"It's just that the little guy is funny......"

She refused to claim the throne as a man, and in a duel she defeated the knights who had gone to choose the king, and succeeded in taking the throne! It's a pity that none of the knights who are willing to pay allegiance to her ......"

At this, Morgan laughed to himself again.

Before she left, she had seen it with her own eyes, those noble knights, after seeing that the throne was hopeless, ran away...... Just thinking about it makes her laugh! Presumably now, that Merlin's mood must be very bad, right?

"Anyway, that little girl is also your aunt, so I ask you to help her!"

I don't know what happened to Merlin after the conflict with those people now, but anyway, by the time Gawain is ready and departing, there will definitely be new news coming in, and then, at that time, on this big chessboard in Britain, it will be her turn to go to the cloth Morgan herself.

“……”

"If that Artoria really wants to be king, it's only normal that no one will be loyal to her!"

"Mother, are you sure you're not joking? If I really went to bow down to a woman, neither myself nor our Orkney county would become the laughing stock of the whole of Britain, or even the whole of the Western Roman Empire! ”

Obviously, the noble knights of all Britain were not willing to do something, and he Gawain himself was not happy either! He would rather be called and drunk under the hands of his own mother than go to a strange woman to show his submission!

"What do those fools' ignorant thoughts have to do with you?"

Morgan is a little angry now, this guy is really stiff in his wings, and he dares to disobey himself? If she wasn't injured now and really didn't want to move, she would have stood up and cast a spell to teach the other party a hard lesson.

"But, Mother ......"

Gawain took two steps forward, as if he wanted to struggle and resist.

"Shut up! I don't want to argue with you about this now, you just have to do what I ask. ”

“……”

"Why, Gawain, don't you even want to hear me?"

At this time, Morgan's tone finally became cold.

"No, I don't dare ......"

"That's good! Now, you hurry up and prepare, and in a few days when the news comes, you will go! ”

"Yes......"

"You can go out, I'm going to take a break now."

"Yes, please have a good rest......"

His arms couldn't twist his thighs, and finally, after trying to resist for a while, Gawain finally had to succumb to the obscenity of his mother Morgan, and agreed to the humiliating request to leave for Camelot and then submit to some aunt who had somehow jumped out.

——————

"You're not Artoria...... No, you're Artoria, what the hell is going on? ”

"Also, I don't remember telling you my name!"

Merlin completely ignored the cavalry that surrounded him, and instead looked intently at Artoria Pendragon, who was standing between him and the little witch, and he saw something wrong in the other man's body.

Because, although the other party is still the person he knows, the other party's performance makes him feel very puzzled! In any case, the other party is definitely not the little girl who was handed over to the house of old Sir Ektor by himself and Yuser and secretly taught for ten years!

"Artoria, what the hell did they do to you?!"

Naturally, Merlin subconsciously blamed all the reasons for the little witch who suddenly appeared next to the other party and the body of Morgan who was beaten away by himself!

He thinks that they must have colluded in advance, one of them to stop him, and the other to control Artoria, and caused today's farce, so that his plan for more than ten years was ruined in an instant?

"This ......"

Artoria didn't know how to explain it, did she want her to say that she was actually almost dead, and then after more than a thousand years and almost two thousand years, she ran to a place called Fuyuki City and met the little witch Anne next to her, and finally with the help of the other party, she came to today's 'day of the king'?

She is still confused about such a complicated matter, and she will definitely not be able to explain it for a while!

What's more, she knows Merlin's personality and way of doing things very well, so she knows that the other party will definitely not believe it easily no matter what. In fact, the guy in front of him, who has a strong desire to control and takes that kind of ethereal fate very seriously, is definitely not a person who can be easily moved by words!

"Sure enough, I was careless......

Seeing Artoria's tangled expression, Merlin seemed to have misunderstood something.

"Now that everything is ruined, let's go, Leah...... Come with me to leave Britain and travel with me to the ideal land of Avalon before it is destroyed! ”

"Fate is really unchangeable, Britain is doomed, and the only thing I can help is to change your fate."

Back in the day, in order to save Britain from destruction, and to save the Celts here from being slaughtered by the barbarians, Uther and Merlin worked together to conceive and create the Artoria Pendragon who they thought was the strongest and most promising to change the fate of Britain...... But how did he think that his plan for so many years would become like this, and it would be completely destroyed by someone under his carelessness?

In that case, there was no need for him to continue to stay in this doomed place, and some of the future that he foresaw would definitely not be able to change. After all, what good way can a queen, a little Camelot, change the general trend of this world?

In fact, not only Britain, but also the Roman Empire (Western Rome), the whole of Europe was doomed to the tragic fate of being slaughtered and destroyed by barbarians! Whether it was the Celts here in Britain or the Roman citizens of Europe, all places with developed civilizations would soon be destroyed...... Then, most of Europe will revert back to a more backward and barbaric age!

Especially here in Britain, the barbarian Saxons, Frissi, Jutes, etc., who went south, without the soldiers of King Arthur's kingdoms and territories to resist, will soon invade the whole of southern England in a frenzy! Then, most of the Celts here will be mercilessly slaughtered, or even one in ten!

Then, in a few moments, perhaps ten years, perhaps twenty or thirty years later, the original inhabitants of the British Isles, whether Celts or Romans, would slowly become extinct...... As far as he Merlin saw in the future, except for a few survivors who might be able to escape into the mountains and forests to survive, the rest of the people who did not die would be reduced to miserable slaves.

This is the trend of the times and the inevitability of history, and it is by no means something that can be changed casually by someone's will, so the ending here is already doomed.

"Nope! As long as I am alive, as long as I am King of Camelot, Britain will not be destroyed! ”

"I firmly believe that justice and truth will triumph over ignorance and evil!"

Hearing that the other party was about to take her away without saying a few words, Artoria was anxious.

Although things are indeed getting a little bad now, she would rather try it out than leave with the other party without doing anything! Whatever awaits her in the future, she Artoria Pendragon will not give in easily!

This time, no matter how hard it was, she vowed to break that ruthless and cruel fate!

"You know a lot of things......

Nodding and looking at the other party's expression, Merlin was looking at the little girl behind the other party, and he suddenly understood something.

"However, this is also useless, the gears of fate have already begun to work, and no one can fight against it, not even me! If you don't go, I'll take you by force, that's what I promised Yusser. ”

The other party was created by himself and Yusher, and he is the bloodline descendant of Yusher! And now, since the matter is irreparable, since all plans have been ruined, and since he Merlin is worthy of that King Uther, then he intends to make a final remedy, and that is - to save this Artoria!

Now, the edifice will not be able to support a single tree, and all he has to do is accept his fate...... No one can save Britain, and neither can he, but as long as he takes Artoria to Avalon, the ideal country, let the other party join him and witness the rise and fall of the world in that magical world.

Rumble!!!

A huge red fireball smashed towards the crooked Merlin, and soon erupted into a large ball of flames, directly encompassing the other party.

"You guy is really annoying, people are stupid and say they don't want to, are you still grinding here, do you want to beg for a beating?"

Anne knew that her shattered fire would be helpless, so, after throwing the fireball, she ran to the somewhat sluggish and worried Artoria, and shouted hatefully into the flames.

She's obviously here to help Silly Hair farm and raid the world, and now, the other party ran out and said something inexplicably, and wanted to take Silly Hair away, so how could she play? Therefore, this matter is decisively unforgivable!

"Flame Knight! Offensive! ”

When the flames dissipated, and when Anne saw that the other party was not affected by the flames in any way, she smiled wickedly, and with a wave of her hand, let the knights who were besieging the opposing party attack.

Straight golden spears, shining with fire and sharp edges, accelerated by their mounts, frantically rushed towards Merlin in the middle.

"Ahh No!! ”

Artoria couldn't help but exclaim when she saw the two sides fighting regardless of it.

"Humph!"

"Storm - Strangling Blade !!"

In the next moment, when the tip of the cavalry's spear was about to attack Merlin, who appeared in the firelight, the opponent suddenly let out a loud shout, and then the invisible wind blade suddenly rolled up violently around the opponent, and quickly stirred those golden-armored flame knights into pieces......
