Chapter 50: A Third Party Appears
The gods themselves are already part of destiny and are naturally able to distribute a part of destiny.
But why bother?
A long sigh rang out in the Goddess's Asgard Baths, symbolizing the feud between Goddess Eliu and the Witch of Morgan Le Fay, which even signaled that the cooperation between the two sides had fallen apart.
On the face of it, all they were arguing about was the difference between the two peoples, and for the Celtic gods it was better to support an Irish than a German.
In fact, this is not the case, Liam, as the prince of the dwarf elves, is a believer in the Celtic gods, although the goddess Erieu and the ancestral goddess Dawu have long been at odds, and even when the Gaeland invaded, he abandoned the original kingdom of Ireland in favor of the Gaelic people, and backstabbed the Irish Danan gods in his own camp.
It's just that the winner is always blameless, Eliu's successful investment has raised her worth and influence, and she, who is obviously one of the three goddesses of sovereignty, has faintly become the representative of the three goddesses, and will always defeat her old rival, Goddess Danu.
The goddess Eliu has always been a member of the Irish Danan gods, and if there is a candidate on her side, she will not and cannot give up her own candidate, it is not her own will, and the Irish gods will make the same choice.
For William was not only a baptized Christian, but also a knight of the Holy Seal who was canonized.
A knight is a warrior of God, a knight must be a Christian, it is almost impossible for non-Christians to be accepted as a knight, it is the duty of a knight to believe in God and protect God's bride, so when the monastery was attacked by an evil dragon, King Conrad knew that he could not defeat the evil dragon, but he still gritted his teeth and canonized a large number of knights to defend the church.
Defend the bride of God and destroy the enemies of Jesus Christ.
Isn't it obvious that the pagan gods were the object that William needed to eliminate as a knight?
The Celtic gods were not stupid, and it was reasonable to choose Liam in their favor, and for King Arthur and King Arthur's sister Morgan Le Fay, who were also active in Celtic mythology, it was natural to choose William.
King Arthur was both a knight and a king, a devout believer in God, while Morgan Lefy was a witch who grew up in a convent.
Defeating the dragon is the consensus of the Celtic gods, but who will act as the dragon slayer warrior to defeat the dragon is worth talking about.
Therefore, William and Liam also represent the Celtic gods and the Celtic Christian side respectively.
It's just that neither of them knows that in addition to Black and White, there are also red pieces on this board.

"Great Worden, Lady Holler!"
A roar seemed to express praise, a thunderbolt fell from the sky, the brave Francis touched his chest, and just fell to the ground and rolled down, he was dirty, and after the call, he hurriedly drew a cross on his chest, "Great God, please forgive me for my sins, I just pretend to convert, and then repent." ”
With a bang, a thunderbolt fell from the sky and hit the head of the brave Francis, who was already embarrassed, even more embarrassed, and his head became black and became a bubble noodle head.
"Great God Worden, please forgive me. Miss Holler, you can't let me die like this. ”
Francis looked at the thunder in the sky that was ready to fall again and called out to Lady Holler, and suddenly the thunder that was about to land immediately dissipated in the sky.
"It seems that I can only pretend to be a believer in Worden God for the time being."
Francis the Brave sighed, looked at his surroundings, and repeatedly confirmed that he should have come to Annon, a different world in Britain.
In today's Christendom, the Ottoman Empire, excluding the heretical Neo-Leaf, and the declining Byzantine Empire (Eastern Roman Empire), the Holy Roman Empire, where Francis the Brave is located, is the most powerful.
As the Holy Empire that inherited the legal system of the Western Roman Empire, as a universal empire, it is the most powerful country today, and it is the Kingdom of France that can challenge the hegemony of the Holy Empire in Christendom.
The French King had fought several times with the Emperor of the Holy Empire, and through the magic of gold and Dafa, he had the Imperial Council declare the Holy Roman Empire neutral, making the war between the two sides a private war between the Emperor and France, rather than a war between France and the Holy Empire.
His Majesty the Emperor was besieged by a large army led by the King of France, and the princes of the Holy Empire remained neutral.
Even as a citizen of the Holy Empire, they had to admit that France was very strong, so Britain, which was isolated abroad and able to fight the Hundred Years' War with France, was obviously not weak.
Whether the national strength is strong or not is not only related to the country's organizational ability, but also means that excellent and powerful knights emerge in an endless stream.
It is clear that it will not be easy to win a jousting tournament from among many good knights.
Blessed by the Germanic gods.
At the beginning of the 5th century, the Roman army stationed in Britannia (England) finally withdrew, and the Celtic state, led by the Kingdom of Camelot, was established, and at the same time the three Germanic peoples, the Jutes, the Angles, and the Saxons, invaded Britain.
At the turn of the 5th and 6th centuries AD, the great King Arthur not only defeated the Roman emperors, but even repelled the invading Saxons several times.
After the death of King Arthur, the Kingdom of Camelot collapsed, and Germanic peoples such as the Angles, Saxons, and Jutes finally established their own kingdoms and rules in Britain.
Among them, the pagan Saxons drove out Christianity from Rome to Britain, demolished churches, and brought with them the faith of their Germanic peoples, their own god Woden.
Celtic mythology is certainly the native myth of Britain, but the main people who rule Britain, both now and in the future, are Anglo-Saxons.
Every Anglo-Saxon king can trace his bloodline back to the great god Woden, claiming to be a descendant of Woden and possessing divine blood.
The great god Woden, the god of war Woden, the heavenly father in Germanic mythology, the supreme god, the god of kingship, the god of magic, Wednesday is the day exclusive to Worden.
And he has a well-known name in Norse mythology - Odin.
Even now that Britain's Anglo-Saxon kings have converted to Christianity, Worden's influence is still pervasive.
As long as the Anglo-Saxons, or Germans, can be kings, they are all descendants of Woden in the folk tradition.
A brave man who has the exploits of a dragon slayer will inevitably have his own kingdom and become a king.
Worden didn't care who he believed, as long as he was his own descendant, a Germanic man, it was enough.
Therefore, no matter how the Celtic gods of Britain wrestled with the saints of British Christianity, the Germanic gods had to intervene.
Britain is not the Celtic Britain at all, it is the Anglo-Saxon (Germanic) Britain.
