Chapter 138: Fight for world domination from scratch
Arthur invited Nana and Wang Cheng to lunch purely because Merlin's identity is really special, and he must be given a certain amount of respect and courtesy, plus he has been appearing in Arthur's dreams for so many years, Arthur actually knows Merlin's original thoughts, and he does have something to say.
But even if you know, to put it mildly, the current situation in the kingdom is not as good as before, if you want to become a king, the best time is when your father died ten years ago, and at that time pull out the sword in the stone, then Arthur's illegitimate son will not only not be an obstacle, but will become a sense of destiny.
For Arthur, that biological father did not have any nurturing grace for him, nor did he have any feelings, so there was no taboo in discussing, so if Merlin appeared at that time, then Arthur would not hesitate to take over the rights of this kingdom.
But now it is not possible, Arthur's adoptive father has left Kemillot because of the succession of Liadline I, and Arthur also knows the reason for leaving.
As an old nobleman and an insider of Arthur's true identity, he naturally would not agree to Liadeline becoming the queen, but in that situation at that time, if there was Merlin's help, pushing Arthur to succeed to the throne would naturally be beneficial to Arthur's adoptive father, but Merlin did not appear at that time, so pushing Arthur out at that time was not only completely meaningless, but also harmed Arthur.
Because after the death of the old king, all the lords of the kingdom want to be kings themselves, and what is an illegitimate child? Even if he is killed on the spot, no one will raise an objection.
So at least in the love that has been raised for so many years, Arthur's adoptive father did not disclose Arthur's identity when he left Kemillot, but left a property and some money for Arthur to live well, as the king's son, if there is no way to inherit the throne, then being an ordinary person is actually a very good ending.
This is also what Arthur thinks, he has been an ordinary person for ten years, and he has taken an ordinary girl Teresa as his wife, and intends to live like this for the rest of his life, if it weren't for the fact that an old man who calls himself Merlin has been appearing in his dreams from time to time.
"Please don't talk to me about the throne anymore, and don't appear in my dreams anymore, it's actually ridiculous, don't you know that the other lords are almost ready to do it now?"
"I know that I had an accident and couldn't get here, but it's too late to correct the mistake. Nana said to Arthur.
My father's Order of the Round Table has been disbanded, my adoptive father has returned to his own domain, and in a recent correspondence with my adoptive mother, I learned that he had called up all the adult men in his realm. Once a person's ambition appears, it can no longer be suppressed, not even you, not to mention that there are countless lords with such ambitions in the kingdom. Arthur said.
"We also have the Mage Guild......"
"No kidding, I admit that you have a high reputation in the Mage Guild, but you should know better than me what kind of organization the Mage Guild is, they are too loose, the kingdom has been established for so many years, they have never been actively involved in politics, and you have never appeared in the Guild, is you really as influential in the Guild as you think?" Arthur said.
"Hey, it's not easy to fool this person......" Nana's voice sounded in Wang Cheng's mind.
"So you're fooling him, what's going on with the Mage Guild?" Wang Cheng said to Nana in his mind.
"The Mage Guild is actually just a loose organization similar to the Chamber of Commerce, which was originally established only for the exchange of knowledge between various mages, and in fact does not have any binding force, it is just a platform. β
"Then you're also a veteran mage, Merlin, so you can't use the power of the association?"
"You yourself are a human being, how can you ask such a naΓ―ve question, mages are actually similar to scholars outside, they are not keen on power at all, but they can be bought by money, so you say, after so many years, there are still a few mages in the association who have not been bought by lords from all over the world?" Nana glanced at Wang Cheng angrily.
"I thought there would be something different about being a magician......
"What's the difference, the elements in your world are imprisoned, inactive, ordinary people can't mobilize elemental energy, in fact, I can tell you that if you find a random high school graduate in your world, you can become a mage here, it's not a big deal. β
"I didn't expect to know another amazing piece of information...... "After hearing Nana's words, she was not interested in high school students being able to become mages here, but was interested in the news that the elements in the real world were imprisoned.
However, Nana didn't plan to explain this issue with Wang Cheng, because when Wang Cheng and Nana were communicating in their minds just now, Arthur had already begun to send off guests.
"What should I do?" asked Wang Cheng to Nana.
"What else can I do, let's leave first, and I'll talk about it next time. After Nana said this to Wang Cheng, she stood up, and without saying anything to Arthur, she left the house with Wang Cheng and Qianmian together.
"You really can't use your strength?" Wang Cheng asked Nana after going out.
"Why should I lie to you about this kind of thing, or what do you think you're for?" Nana said after smiling at Wang Cheng.
"So in other words, are we going to start from scratch to dominate the world?" asked Wang Cheng to Nana.
"Let's just say that, but it's not completely ungrounded, don't you have a little girlfriend who has mastered Kemillot City?"
"Is it reliable?"
"It's much more reliable than you fighting alone, anyway, wait for you to find your little girlfriend, she's in the palace. Nana said to Wang Cheng.
After ending the conversation, Wang Cheng found that Qianmian has been very quiet since Nana appeared, whether it is when she is walking, or when she is eating, she does not speak at all, she has no sense of existence at all, and it is completely different from when she first became a little girl before, and when she was about to ask what was wrong, Nana suddenly said to Wang Cheng:
"This little girl will lend me a little one first. β
"What are you doing?" Wang Cheng immediately moved Qianmian behind him after hearing Nana's words, and asked Nana.
"Don't be nervous, I won't do anything to her, haven't you already seen that I have known her for a long time?
"You mean you're going to take her alone?" Wang Cheng heard another meaning from Nana's mouth.
"That's right. β
"That's unbelievable. β
Nana wants to take Qianmian to move alone Wang Cheng is naturally willing, anyway, she will come to her when she needs herself, and Wang Cheng also roughly knows what Nana wants to do, it is estimated that she wants to restore the mask on Qianmian's face.
The original Thousand Faces is extremely powerful, there is no reason to let it go, and for Wang Cheng, since he has decided to do what Nana wants, it must be good to have so many Thousand Faces like this.
