Chapter 1905: The Iron Maiden (Twenty-Three)

"It's cold, Sage. Although the shadow of the crow could not show its expression, there was an air of a hippie smile in his words: "Obviously, I led your furball friend to you and saved your life." Do you repay your savior with the blade of your sword?"

"It's you?!" Bediwell next to him couldn't help but exclaim: "It's not Merlin------ who are you?!"

"Shhhhhh It's all to blame for Bediwell's stupid talk, and to tell the information that shouldn't be said.

The big white wolf stuck out his tongue and did not dare to continue speaking.

"So what the hell are you here for, Mephistopheles?" Arthur asked unceremoniously, "Mess up, do something, and profit from our fight against the vampires?"

"There is no such thing, Sage. Mephistopheles replied, "Actually, the Tenth True Ancestor Cyrens and I are allies------"

Before the night demon could finish speaking, Arthur had already picked up the holy sword (sheathed) and swept it over. The sword was not so much about destroying the enemy as it was about getting rid of pests like flies.

"Oh, oh, don't be so excited. Mephistopheles dodged the sword with a jump, and her movements were exceptionally light. In this state of phantom, he actually has no need to dodge, and the holy sword will usually pass through this shadow. His dodge is probably just a play with Arthur.

"So, you are indeed an enemy. The blonde boy said in a cold tone.

"No, no, no, no. Mephistopheles immediately clarified, "True Ancestor Cyrens used to be one of my partners. We have a plan to unite the forces of several high-level demons in order to defeat and even eventually destroy the demon king Satan. But my impatient partner didn't like to follow orders, and he said that he wanted to meet you, the Sage, so he came to the Fort of Tulliel. ＂

"You guys really overestimate me. Arthur sarcastically said.

"No overestimation. You are at the heart of this plan, Lord Aslan, and Satan will come to you one day, whether you like it or not. ＂

Arthur then stopped talking. It seems that the mysterious old man J has talked about something similar. This world is a gamble between gods and demons, and Arthur, as a "third party" intervener outside this world, is afraid that he and the demon will one day face each other.

"So your disobedient men are causing me trouble, and you rush to the rescue?" Arthur couldn't help but complain, "What a disciplined organization. ＂

"We have a lot of reasons on our side. Some demons are angry with Satan and are bent on destroying Satan as soon as possible. And some of them didn't believe in our plan at all, and just wanted to come over and join in the fun. Mephistopheles's tone was mixed with a bit of helplessness: "Anyway, everyone doesn't want this kind of thing to happen." As a result, as long as no one is harmed, isn't it good? The most important thing in being a human being is to be happy. ＂

Bediwell, who was nearby, almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. The Daredevil, Mephistopheles, has a mouthful of oily tones and excuses himself. Such a guy is not worth believing.

Luckily, Arthur didn't intend to believe the demon at all.

"I know you didn't come to me to apologize. Arthur then said coldly: "If there is anything else you want to say, just finish it quickly, and then get out of me." ＂

"What an impatience, Lord Aslan. Mephistopheles muttered, "I want to say that the thing is actually quite simple: Satan has set his sights on the Holy Maiden. In order to prove to his nemesis that a holy person like Joan of Arc can move mortal hearts and fall, Satan will continue to put pressure on France from now on. He won't act blatantly, because that's to the left of the rules of that bet. But he will definitely secretly tempt more humans, let these fallen humans be his pawns, and finally achieve his goal. ＂

"So?" asked Arthur coldly.

"So...... You can't blatantly help Joan of Arc, and you shouldn't even be on the same side as her against England. The Daredevil continued, "In the near future, Joan of Arc will definitely become the target of public criticism. If she becomes a heroine, she may fall, or she may become a witch who is condemned by the public, and will be judged harshly. Every misfortune you can imagine can behave her, and every conspiracy you can expect can happen around her. Satan is always a conspirator, and his means are endless, and he can drive nations to destroy one man. ＂

"Getting to the point. Arthur listened a lot, a little impatient.

"Let's go to England. Mephistopheles then said, "There, there are the answers to all the questions, the truth of all this." The heart of the Hundred Years' War was not in France, but in England, in the little imp named Henry VI. ＂

Arthur frowned.

Henry VI was the child born to the former king of England, Henry V, who married Princess Catherine, the daughter of King Charles VI of France. The very existence of the child was a conspiracy by England to annex France, a bargaining chip created by Henry V in order to take power in both countries at the same time.

However, many acts of injustice would lead to self-destruction, and Henry V died of a serious illness on the battlefield in 1422. At the age of only nine months, Henry VI became the rightful king of England, and at the same time, he also had the blood of the French royal family in his body, and had the right to inherit the king of France.

It is precisely because of the existence of this young king that England and France will once again set off such a huge bloody storm. To put it bluntly, this war was a farce of the princes and nobles behind Henry VI who used Henry VI's bloodline to invade France.

If this child, who is now less than eight years old, is not eliminated, the war between Britain and France will not be extinguished for a day.

Arthur seemed to know what he was supposed to do.

He couldn't let Joan of Arc become a heroine who saved the country, but he could make the Hundred Years' War between England and France stillborn. As long as the fate of this war is cut off by him halfway, he can disrupt Satan's entire plan.

"Looks like Lord Aslan already knows what to do next. Demon Mephistopheles spread his phantom crow wings and flew into the air, "In that case, I won't dwell too much. Good luck. ＂

He flew away. Or maybe he lifted the spell, and the black phantom of the crow disappeared in an instant.

"Arthur. Are you really going to listen to that guy?" asked Bediwell, worriedly, "that's a demon, not worth believing." ＂

"I know. The Knight King snorted, "But that's what I've come to conclusion. It has nothing to do with Mephistopheles' words, we have to go back to Dabuli anyway...... A trip to England. I'll have to see what the hell our country will look like in 900 years. ＂

"You won't be happy to see it, Arthur. Bediwell whispered, "But well, if you want to go, let's go." I will follow you wherever you go. But is there really nothing wrong with Queen Greenway's side?"

"It's Joan of Arc," Arthur corrected, "she's going to be fine." ＂

Arthur had seen it through the previous battles. Now Joan of Arc is free to use [First Miracle ------ Space-Time Creation]. Able to freely control time in a specific area, she is almost invincible when facing ordinary people. If there were no other demons to interfere in the battle, it was hard to imagine what danger Joan of Arc would encounter in the next battle.

And if Arthur is not there, it is estimated that few demons will go to Joan of Arc for trouble. Now it is best to get away from Joan of Arc and go to England to see the situation.

"One more thing. Merlin ------" Arthur shouted again, "Come out." I know you're there. ＂

＂...... Is there anything wrong, Your Majesty?" was directly named, and the black crow shadow manipulated by Merlin appeared on the branches of the trees in the forest.

"What's going on with that Mephistopheles?" Arthur asked a little angrily, "Didn't our actions all be exposed?

"I am also surprised, Your Majesty. Merlin replied: "I communicated with Harry just now, and Harry thinks that this is because the communication between the phantom clones he released for intelligence gathering was intercepted by Mephistopheles, who is also a night demon, so the information was leaked." ＂

"Intercepted? What kind of interception?"

"Harry manipulates hundreds of phantoms at the same time to gather intelligence in this world. To unify this information, a vast communications network is required. Like the communication network used in our original world, Harry uses the light quantum communication of the Daredevil's unique channel...... Something similar to teleportation, but it only works universally between Harry's doppelgangers. We thought that this kind of communication was very secure, but we didn't expect that there were Daredevil in this world, and at the same time, Mephistopheles of Daredevil was able to crack our communication protocol. ＂

"Let's not talk about this kind of thing yet," Arthur asked urgently, "So, how much does he know?"

"I guess it is...... All. Merlin hesitated, "From the time we came to this world nine hundred years later, to our purpose, to our origin...... The Daredevil overheard them all. ＂

"Damn it!" said King Arthur, stamping his feet and roaring, his almost unbridled roar that resounded through the woods and even alarmed his horses. Arthur knew that he had gone too far, and while patting the back of the horse to comfort the little white horse, he relented and sighed: "The demon knows everything...... Will it affect us?"

"I'm still assessing the risks. But after all, it's a demon, and the demon is born to keep secrets and act according to the rules, so I don't think he will tell our secrets casually. ＂

"No one will believe it. Bediwell interjected, "After all, it's a fantasy like time travel. ＂

"I'm going to kill him someday," Merlin said quietly, "but for now, we'll leave him alone." Let's focus on going to England for now. ＂

"So you agree with my decision to go to England?" said Arthur, who was a little surprised.

"Although Mephistopheles is not to be believed, to be honest, there really is nothing you can do in France, Your Majesty. Merlin said, "If Queen Greenville is unwilling to go back with us, and continues to pester her to annoy her, it will be a fool's errand." ＂

"That's why we have to go to England and eliminate the source of the war. And then have Arthur come back and soak Queen Greenway again? Well, good. Bediwell complained.

Arthur gave the big white wolf a blank look.

"Then let's go. The boy jumped on horseback: "The destination is Great Britain." ＂

Where it begins and ends.
