No. 317 Fairy Lake Tomb of Albion Ling
During King Arthur's active era, the Lake of the Goblins was located in the territory of the Kingdom of Camelot, and the Sword of Covenant Victory of Artoria was obtained from the goblins of the Lake.
After the end of the Arthurian legend, the goblins of the lake sank their hometown into the Star Sea.
Thousands of years later, the original location of the Fairy Lake was occupied by an organization of magicians, who excavated a dragon skeleton more than 2 kilometers long underground, and the area became known to magicians as the Tomb of Albion.
This group of magicians is based in the clock tower in London, England, and the precious materials excavated from the tomb of Albion became the cornerstone of the clock tower.
In order to facilitate the management of the Albion Tomb, the Clock Tower has set up a special detoxification bureau.
For thousands of years, generations of magicians of the clock tower have harvested a large number of precious materials that are no longer possible to find in modern times in the continuous exploration of the tomb of the Albion Spirit.
According to the survey and speculation of the magician of the clock tower, the tomb of Albion is roughly divided into four areas.
The uppermost area is the thoroughly discovered mining city of Magisfia.
Due to the appearance of magical beasts and even fantasy species in the tomb of Albion from time to time, the clock tower arranged for a large number of magicians to be stationed in Magisfia.
On the one hand, it is to defend against attacks from the underground, and on the other hand, it is also used as a base for advancing to the deeper depths of the Spirit Tomb.
The second level is the Great Magic Circuit, the foundation of the clock tower, also known as the venous cloister Odvina.
After years of hard work, the clock tower has also surveyed this floor in depth.
There are still a large number of ancient magic circuits on the floor and walls of the Odvina level.
According to the research of the magicians, these magic circuits are supposed to be the traces left by the lake elves during their retreat to the Star Sea.
The Odvina level is inhabited by a large number of mid-level fantasy species that are close to the strength of the gods, such as the Chimera, Hydra, and lower-grade wyverns.
The third level is the heart of the ancient dragon, the limit of what modern magicians can reach, and the Clock Tower's observatory Calleon is located on this level.
As you can roughly guess from the magician's name, the clock tower found a dragon heart on the third floor.
This level is also one of the most secret areas of the Clock Tower, which cannot be accessed by anyone without permission, and is mostly under lockdown, and can only be lifted for a short time when the monarchs of the Clock Tower hold a crown decision.
The fourth layer is the area that magicians imagined, which may exist in the real world or in the mysterious inner sea, an unknown territory that is difficult for humans to set foot in.
The Clock Tower refers to the fourth level as the Fairy Domain, but they don't know if there are really elves on this level.
As a Caster alternate to the throne from the time of King Arthur to the present day, Merlin knows the truth about the tomb of Albion.
The Clock Tower's speculation is roughly correct, and the lower layer of the ancient dragon's heart is the fairy village where the lake goblins live, but this layer has broken away from the surface world of human life and penetrated deep into the Star Sea.
So far, no human magician has been able to open the passage to the Star Inner Sea from the outside, and the goblins firmly control the entrances and exits of the world on both sides.
Due to some unbearable memories of the past, Merlin didn't dare to personally lead Lu Xiao and the others to Fairy Lake, but only pointed out the direction for them.
Morgan, who has a partial fairy bloodline, will serve as a link between the two parties and set off with the trio.
Standing on the top floor of Avalon Tower and watching the four of them leave, Merlin touched his chin with a wicked smile: "It's almost time for me to go, I hope Artoria won't be too surprised when she sees me next time." ”
……
Fairy Lake, during the existence of the Kingdom of Camelot, Artoria visited everywhere many times.
The tranquil lake hadn't changed much from what she remembered, except that the surroundings were different.
There was no concept of day and night in the Star Sea, and Lu Xiao couldn't be sure how many days they spent on the road.
Fairy Lake is located in a dense forest, and when he reached the edge of the forest, Lu Xiao first noticed something unusual with his sixth sense and eagle vision.
There is some kind of presence around them that is watching them.
In Lu Xiao's impression, goblins were fantasy creatures the size of fingers, and he even guessed that these little things would have wings as light as cicada wings on their backs.
However, the goblins of the Moon World are very different from his stereotype.
In addition to having good looks and a pair of goblin long ears, the so-called goblins do not look much different from humans, and are more like the elves described in some fantasy works.
It has to be said that Merlin's suggestion played a role.
Feeling the faint goblin aura on Morgan's body, the goblins who secretly monitored Lu Xiao and the others into the forest did not attack.
It wasn't until the group went a certain distance deep into the forest that a dozen goblins dressed in light veils finally appeared and stopped them.
One of the graceful female goblins looked at Morgan for a moment.
"It turned out to be you, the inheritor of the power of the British Isles, the eldest daughter of the red dragon Uther, and the great witch Morgan Lefey, who has part of the blood of our clan."
The canopy-clad elf shifted his gaze to the three men beside Morgan, his gaze resting on Artoria's face for a moment.
"King Arthur? I didn't expect to see you again in the Star Sea. ”
Artoria also had a look of nostalgia on her face, and she stroked her chest and bowed to the graceful goblin.
"Vivien, I haven't seen you in years, and I'm glad to see you all safe and sound."
'Uh~'
Lu Xiao's eyes showed a faint look of gossip, and he carefully looked at this incomparably delicate goblin leader.
'She's Merlin's gossip girlfriend, who gave the sword to Vivien, the lake fairy in Altoria? ’
There are several versions of Merlin and Vivien's lore, some of which depict Vivien not as an elf, but as an ordinary Orion's daughter.
However, the Moon World adopts a different setting, Vivien is the queen of the lake fairies, and there are many karmic entanglements with King Arthur and Merlin.
……
Vivian Bingxue is smart and articulate, and Artoria seems too upright when dealing with people, and it is easy for Vivian to say something, and Lu Xiao doesn't even have time to stop her.
"Sure enough, it's that damn dream demon who is messing with ghosts!"
Vivien still seemed to be unable to let go of Merlin, and Bei Yan bit her lower lip and asked a little angrily, "Why didn't he come over in person?" ”
Artoria shook her head helplessly: "That coward should be worried that your anger is still unsubsided, and he only showed us the way to the Fairy Lake, and he is not willing to go with us if he is killed." ”
"Hmph~"
Vivien's chest heaved violently, and it took several seconds for her breathing to adjust.
"Whew~ Forget it, I will personally go to Avalonta to confront him when I have the chance."
Ending the topic related to Merlin, Vivien regained her graceful temperament again: "King Arthur, we can indeed open the way back to the human world, but are you sure you want to leave the Star Sea?" ”
"In most parallel worlds, your story ends the moment Camelot falls, and you can't find your place in the human world, so why don't you stay in this peaceful world and continue to live?"
Artoria stubbornly said: "Maybe one day in the future I will return here, but at least not now, I still owe a favor." ”
Due to Merlin's relationship, Vivien had a lot of contact with King Arthur and knew her stubborn character very well.
Seeing that Artoria was unmoved, Vivien did not continue to persuade her.
Under Vivien's instructions, the elves gathered around the vast lake and danced one after another.
The Dance of the Fairies contains strange magic, and under the control of Vivien, who is the lead dancer, a dark and irregular void gradually appears in the middle of the calm lake.
Vivien, who was oozing sweat from her forehead, continued to dance gracefully, twisting her waist and saying to Artoria, "This is the gateway to the human world. ”
"King Arthur, I wish you all the best on this trip, and I hope we will have the opportunity to meet again in the future."
Artoria nodded firmly, and after saying goodbye to Morgan with a look, she was the first to step into the passage on the surface of the lake with the blessing bestowed by the lake elf.
