Chapter 220: Lady Merlin and the Avalon Witches (3rd Update)
(Sorry, I'm late for today's update, but I'll continue to watch five more tomorrow.) )
London in the fifth century was far less prosperous than later generations.
At this time, there were less than 30,000 inhabitants in London, and the roads in ordinary residential areas were muddy and filled with a strong smell of urine and feces.
Only the prosperous rich and aristocratic areas are slightly better.
But limited by the times, it is only slightly better.
The roads are smoother and the houses are a little more luxurious.
On top of that, there are hired workers who specialize in collecting and cleaning up the excrement of the rich and nobles, so that the roads of the aristocratic district are not covered with feces and urine like ordinary commoners.
on the streets.
A figure covered in a black robe, allowing people to see only a little chin, and even the difference between men and women slowly walked by.
The strange thing is that there are still many pedestrians on the street, but it seems that no one can see the mysterious black-robed man. Even if someone passed by the black-robed man, he would subconsciously stagger the black-robed man, but he didn't notice that there was someone beside him.
The black-robed man walked into a rich manor before taking off his hood.
Under the hood is a beautiful mature female face, with eyebrows that look like a seductive goblin, and like a legendary succubus, seductive.
"Dear Merlin, you're finally here."
A lavishly dressed lady walked out of the manor and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw the beautiful woman in front of the door: "Are things going well?" ”
Merlin took the warm black tea handed over by the noblewoman, and opened her rosy lips like a layer of honey, and smiled: "Arthur Pendragon is about to arrive in London, and the gears of fate will finally be activated. It will be a legend that belongs to King Arthur, and it will also be the glory that belongs to Avalon. ”
When she said this, her slender willow eyebrows furrowed, and she said in a deep voice, "The one from the Strand family is also here, and I'm worried that he might get in the way." ”
When the lady heard the name of Baron Strand, her face could not help but be a little gloomy.
Although the House of Strand was only a young man, it was very famous in England. It is rumored that the Strands have the power to control time and space, and can see through the past, the present, and the future.
Such opponents, even those witches from Avalon, have to be a little jealous.
"If the people of the Strand family dare to make trouble, someone will naturally deal with him, and the top priority now is to ensure Arthur's safety." The noble lady groaned, with a look of disgust on her face, and said in a low voice, "What is the movement of the Holy See?" ”
Merlin's bewildering eyes flashed with disdain, and he said coldly: "Our dear Bishop of Canterbury, but he still dreams of becoming the Pope of Rome. With his poor and stupid mind, it will not hinder our plans. ”
Merlin said this, and instead asked worriedly, "How's the situation with Avalon?" ”
When the noblewoman heard Merlin mention Avalon, her brows furrowed, and she sighed, "The situation is not good, the dwarves have lost their territory on which they live. Although Golem has no plans to continue to expand at the moment, we cannot pin Avalon's safety on the ethereal wish that Golem will fulfill.
The most important thing now is to find the Child of Destiny who can control the artifact, and only the inheritor of the ancient artifact can control the power of the gods, destroy the terrible Golem, and restore peace and tranquility to Avalon. ”
Merlin couldn't help but look worried when he heard that the situation in Avalon was so bad.
The rise of the Holy See deprived them of the soil on which Europe depended.
If there is another problem with the Holy Land of Avalon, what awaits them will be a never-ending wandering, or even complete extinction!
This is not alarmist, nor is it impossible.
Since the Holy See was officially established as the state religion of Rome decades ago, it is unknown how many religions have been persecuted and massacred by the Holy See over the years. And how many witches and magic organizations have been completely destroyed by the Holy See.
The Holy See's tolerance for infidels is completely zero!
If it weren't for the fact that England is now a desolate and remote barbarian land, a broken place that even the Roman emperors didn't bother to pay attention to, they would not even be able to find their last place to stay.
After a brief pause, Merlin said, "Maybe we can try to pull the Stran family into...."
The noblewoman interrupted Merlin's words and said coldly, "No way, we of the Avalon Witch Society will never allow a male witch to join. Merlin, you should be glad. It is me, not our great chief, who hears these words today, otherwise you know what punishment you will receive? ”
Merlin's expression changed slightly, and he didn't dare to continue speaking.
Although she has a bit of status in the Avalon Witches, she is not at all worthy compared to the nine councillors in charge of the Witches' Society, as well as the supreme leader.
The noblewoman comforted, "Dear Merlin, this matter is not something I deliberately aimed at you, but a tradition of our Avalon Witches. Tradition is immutable, it has been our purpose for thousands of years. Once we lose our traditions and rules, it means that the Avalon Witches will usher in a great change, even destruction.
Now the Holy See has completely taken over Rome and is wreaking havoc in Europe with the power of the Roman Empire. We must address all hidden dangers before the Holy See notices us, otherwise we will be hunted down by the Holy See. ”
Merlin sighed and said, "Dear Lady Griffine, please forgive me for my recklessness. ”
Gwafanie smiled, "Go, my child, and guide the children of destiny to draw the sword of kings and complete their mission." May Avalon be with you. ”
Gefanie made a unique gesture by clasping her hands together in front of her in a special gesture and bowing in salute.
Merlin returned the salute in the same manner, then disappeared into the end of the street with his hood on.
Gefanie watched Merlin's departure, the smile on her face fading away, and her gaze became a little colder.
Stellan!
No, the Strand family is not simple, and if that person does intervene in this matter, it will be a great threat to the Witch Society.
King Arthur's plan was a matter of life and death for Avalon, and nothing could go wrong in this matter.
Gefanie's eyes narrowed slightly, and her eyes were full of cold color.
She groaned, and an owl flew into the room.
Griffinie whispered a few words to the owl, and the owl changed in a human expression, and then flew quickly into the sky that had begun to dim, and disappeared into the vast night sky.
Three hours later, several witches dressed in gray robes entered London.
Their arrival did not attract the attention of the others in the slightest.
Even as they walked through the noisy streets, no one noticed that the legendary evil witch had just walked by.
Time flies by in such an atmosphere, and the day of the Holy Sword selection king is getting closer and closer.
At this time, London was more noisy than ever.
The aristocrats are looking forward to the upcoming carnival feast, hoping that they will be the legendary children of destiny.
