Chapter 117: Alice Gong's speculation
The residence of the Duke of Golding, located near the city of Westminster in London, is one of the few high-end residential areas in the United Kingdom, where many British dignitaries live.
One of them, with its vast courtyard, four-storey tall buildings and four towers, is decorated in a style that resembles an ancient castle, and is in fact not uncommon here, often with a variety of names, such as Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle, and so on.
When Paul Brontree led the men of the Bronze Black Cross to visit the mansion, there were already maids lined up in two lines to welcome the Bronze Black Cross group.
Princess Alice is not only the daughter of Duke Goldin's family, a member of the royal family, but also the sage president of the Council of the Magi, and has a decisive influence on the entire magic world.
"Welcome, Paul, the princess is very happy to hear of your arrival."
A woman in her thirties, with her hair tied up and glasses in thin frames, walked out, her expression was serious and fierce, and even when she said words of welcome, her tone was stiff.
"Hello, Ms. Elison." Paul greeted the woman and introduced himself to the people around him.
Padrisia Elison, who has the roles of Princess Alice's governess, secretary, head maid, and housekeeper, is one of Princess Alice's cronies, and it is impossible to let such a heart personally greet Paul Blamtree as an ally.
"The princess is already waiting in the reception room, please."
Elison did not say hello, and walked towards the reception room to the man with the red bronze and black cross.
Although Paul Brontree, as an ally of Princess Alice, has joined hands with Princess Alice in England to fight against the god killer Black Prince Alec, he has long been familiar with Princess Alice's mansion and the residence of the Wise Men's Conference, but there are attendants in the aristocratic family to guide the way, which is the etiquette among the nobles.
When I arrived in the lobby of the reception room, I saw a projector projected on a large white screen, showing a picture painted by an unknown artist.
It depicts a knight in Roman armor leading his knight in a tough battle against his enemies.
Although the battle was difficult, the dawn of victory undoubtedly favored the Roman general in the painting.
Princess Alice stared at the curtain and even touched the portrait with her hand, her eyes showing adoration and curiosity, and she was thinking.
"Uncle, what is this, is it a painting from the Roman Empire?" Erica asked.
Princess Alice was so obsessed with the painting that neither Paul nor the Bronze Black Cross could bear to disturb her.
The paintings that make Princess Alice so obsessed must have a deep meaning, and if they are disturbed, it may be a disservice to human civilization.
"No, if you really want to determine the time, then it should be a painting from the Roman Britannica, and the background of the battlefield is the Saxons, but the general is wearing Roman armor, and he is obviously a British knight, because behind him is the Barton Mountains, so if this general wants to ask who it is, then it is obvious that it should be the legendary King Arthur."
Paul answered the question asked by his niece, no matter how brilliant a genius was, only twelve years old, still a chick with no stiff wings, and still needed the protection and help of an adult.
"King Arthur was a Roman?" Erica shook her head and said, "I remember that King Arthur's kingdom of Camelot was before the Roman Empire conquered Britain. ”
"That's right, the legendary King Arthur's kingdom of Camelot was a great civilization established by the Celts before the Roman conquest of Britain, so if the time of this painting can be determined, then its historical significance is far-reaching, not only can it prove that King Arthur is a real figure in British history, but also the hypothesis that King Arthur was a Roman will be established and confirmed."
Princess Alice heard the conversation between Erica and Paul, turned her head and smiled charmingly at the two, "Welcome Paul, this is the niece Erica you mentioned." ”
From beginning to end, Princess Alice showed the image of a noble and elegant lady, just like a real princess.
And at this moment, the girl who appeared in front of Paul and Erica was pale, and the first thing that appeared was not noble, but weak, and her skin was unhealthy white, and although she breathed steadily, she was like a delicate and fragile vase in front of the world.
"Paul Qing, I am deeply pleased with your arrival, but I didn't expect you to come because of such a thing."
"I'm deeply sorry, Her Royal Highness Princess Alice."
Alice acts like a princess, and Paul Brontree acts like a knight.
Princess Alice's Council of the Sages is not the body that acts as both a government and a council in history to support a king, but a magic association that specializes in research and harmony, and in the eyes of the members of the Council of the Sages, every god-killer is a hopelessly brutal demon king, a moving natural disaster.
The deep meaning of the conversation between the two is only understood by the two people, which is a tacit understanding reached by former allies.
Then there was a long silence.
"You're studying the king, aren't you?" Paul broke the silence and asked, his gaze looking at King Arthur's image.
Although William claimed that he did not kill gods, but only killed the time dragon of another world, this has been tacitly regarded as a god of disobedience.
For example, Emperor, Emperor, Vassal King, Sultan, Great Khan, King, although they have different titles from each other, everyone understands that this is synonymous with the monarch of the country.
The time dragon that can travel through time is a creature that is forced to be full at first glance, and there is nothing wrong with being roughly equal to the god of disobedience.
William did not show the power of time, but the abilities he used were related to the legendary King Arthur, which had to make the magicians in the Council of the Sages wonder if William had killed her and taken the power from her.
The sword in the stone is the embodiment of King Arthur's power, just like Tony's magic sword.
"I have an imprudent suspicion."
Princess Alice cheered up, her originally pale little face was in good spirits because of her speculation and doubts, "I doubt that William Pendragon is a king in British history." ”
Silence, long silence, no matter Paul, Erica, or Elixon, they stared at Princess Alice with stunned expressions.
Although Princess Alice's speculation is so absurd and unbelievable, it is after all what Princess Alice, the strongest witch in Europe, said, even if it is just a guess, there is a basis.
"You mean William is a god of disobedience?" Erica said in a surprised tone.
"No, not a god of disobedience, but a king, a king with the status of a god."
Princess Alice said in a cheerful and excited tone, "You said that William came from another world, and he didn't hide it, but he didn't blurt out everything about himself without reservation. ”
"For example, we live in a world where we can hear, think, speak, and describe, for example, sugar is sweet, because we can see it, we can taste it, so we can understand it, and other countries have such a sweet crystal, so we naturally name it sugar.
This kind of direct translation will inevitably have a filtering of information, and the retention of the paraphrase will bring a sense of mystery, bronze dragons, white dragons, black dragons, and rainbow dragons are all dragons, but dragons and dragons are inherently different.
Translations can be approachable, but not necessarily accurate, unless they are in the same language, and we will be familiar with the name of something similar in another language and culture, which is labeling, and if we do not have a deep understanding of the culture, then we can only be stereotyped.
In the world where we live and William, the worldview is similar but different, and the information is bound to be distorted, which is why I assert so.
In the history of England, there are not many famous kings, the most famous are King Arthur, Alfred the Great, William the Conqueror, which one do you think? ”
