Chapter Eighty-Seven: That May Really Be Merlin
"Blockade! Lock down the entire Britannian Cathedral! Send more men and ask for reinforcements from the army! ”
In the Secret Chamber, Director Hagus, who had received the news, yelled at Mark, who had just returned from the church.
This Mark is the hapless inspector who was almost killed by that nightmare before.
The one who pulls out the sword in the stone will be Augustus of Britannia.
This is undoubtedly ignoring the existence of the royal family, touching the most central interests of Britannia.
"Yes." Mark nodded.
But after a pause, Mark said tentatively, "But. . . There are too many witnesses, and it won't be long before countless people from all over the country, even all the nobles, will try to go to the church and draw the sword in the stone.
If the blockade is forced, will there be a possibility that it will lead to a popular uprising, thinking that our officials are not willing to find out the destiny at all? ”
Mark's words made Hamus gradually calm down.
Now that Britannia is in turmoil, there must be no more chaos.
He covered his forehead with a little headache and said, "Then what should I do, let it go?" ”
"Of course." "However, we can't lock it all down, limit the number of people who come to draw our swords, manage the order, and prevent chaos and casualties due to the large number of people."
People's enthusiasm for drawing swords won't be too long, and it's not too late to block them after a while when the heat of the news cools down. ”
"But what if you really let people pull it out, do you really make him the emperor of this country?" Hagus said.
"I don't think it's going to be so easy for Destiny to appear."
Mark said, "If that sword was really a sword in stone, even the island of Britain, with a population of about one million at the time, would have waited for years to produce a King Arthur."
Tens of millions of people in Britannia won't just appear in a few days, right? ”
Hamus nodded, "Makes sense. ”
"Moreover, there are too many people who come to draw their swords, and we can't watch them, but there is only one person who draws their swords, and we can definitely watch them."
Mark calmly analyzed, "We will send people to take turns to keep an eye on the sword in the stone, and once someone successfully draws the holy sword, we will invite him to the secret inspection hall."
And legend has it that King Arthur was the son of King Uther.
What if this destiny is royalty? ”
"What if it's not?" Hagus said.
"If not, we'll keep him too."
Mark looked around and lowered his voice.
"Director, if the future is as prophesied by that being.
He, perhaps, is the country's only hope. ”
Hagus frowned, but eventually fell silent.
"Moreover, I have an unfounded guess." Mark said.
Hagus looked up at him.
"Do you remember the name of the tavern where the Empress disappeared?"
"Merlin's Tavern."
As if aware of something, Hagus's eyes widened slightly.
"What do you mean?"
In Britannia, there are many shops with various legends and allusions as their names, and they do not have any specificity.
Even Arthur's name in Britannia is hundreds of thousands, if not a million.
However, the point is that the Empress disappeared in this shop, and this shop has mysteriously disappeared, and it is inevitable to think of this name at this time.
"Maybe it's really the tavern opened by the ancient sage."
Mark whispered, "The old sage taught King Arthur, and now, the new Child of Destiny will be taught by him."
In that case, the disappearance of Empress Isabel may have an answer. ”
"She's probably pregnant." Mark earnestly, "The child she conceives will be adopted and taught by Merlin and will eventually become the destiny of this nation." ”
Logus fell into deep thought.
"Of course, I deduced all this from the legend of King Arthur." Mark said, "That sword doesn't have to be the legendary sword in the stone. ”
"But if only that's the case." Hamus sighed.
"In that case, the Son of Destiny is royal, and he has been taught by the sage himself.
Both theocracy and imperial power are orthodox and can definitely take Britannia to another peak.
But ah, Mark.
There won't be so many things in this world that go your way. ”
Mark was silent as well.
"Do you have any other clues about the tavern?" Hagus asked.
"We've been to the tavern a lot these days, and we've drawn a preliminary portrait of all the staff in the tavern, including the bartender and the cleaner.
We found some interesting details. Mark said.
Hamus looked up at Mark, "What detail?" ”
"On the hands of the tavern owner, there are two imperceptible moles under the tiger's mouth, spaced about two centimeters apart, and the mysterious man who saved us in the Marquis of Oss incident also has such moles on his hands."
Mark is sure that as a secret policeman, this kind of observation is essential.
"In other words, the mysterious person who appeared in that basement is probably the same person as the tavernkeeper." Hamguth muttered softly.
"He saved us, destroyed the demon, maybe." Mark hesitated for a moment and said, "He didn't mean it badly. ”
Instead of replying, Gallus fell into deep thought, and after a moment, he said.
"Then let's investigate these two cases together, and this person, let's give him a code name first, it's called.
Merlin. ”
"Yes." Mark bowed his head.
Char didn't care what kind of storm this had in the ruling class of Britannia.
For him, the purpose of inserting the sword in the stone was not to gain the approval of these people, but to the approval of the church and public opinion.
And the rest, Arthur himself will go and obtain.
Char is just a teacher after all, and that's all he can do.
In the end, young people have to rely on their own strength to break through the world.
He had returned to the castle and by the way had added some sticks of wood to Cassif, and he took the pan hanging from one side of the wall and placed it on Cassif.
Then he poured the oil on it, and when the oil was hot, Char put the cauliflower that had been torn and washed on one side and put it in, and as the cauliflower came into contact with the oil, there was a sizzling sound in the pot, and the oil splashed everywhere.
Alicia, who was holding Isabel, also pushed the door behind her.
It seems that because of holding Isabel and trotting all the way, I gasped slightly.
"I'm back."
Char didn't look back and said, "You haven't come back for too long, so I'll cook by myself." ”
"Char." Alicia looked at Char, "Did you just go out?"
"No, I've been at home." Char said with some confusion, "Is something going on outside?" ”
Alicia looked at Cassifer.
"He did stay at home all the time." Cassifer said seriously.
Alicia's brows stretched, Cassifer would not lie to her, and even if she did, the flaws were huge.
However, she obviously didn't expect that with Char's current illusion attainments, a clone would not be a problem for him at all.
"An angel has come."
Isabel jumped from Alicia's arms and landed gracefully on the ground.
"He put a sword on the pedestal of the church at the ceremony of Victor's appointment and said that the Son of Destiny, who drew the sword, would be the emperor of Britannia."
"Yes."
Char replied nonchalantly, then lifted the apple with one hand and poured the stir-fried cauliflower into a plate placed on one side.
Then he turned around and placed it on the dining table.
There was already a pot of stew on the table, but it was covered by an iron lid, and I don't know what it was.
"Alright, it's ready to eat." Char said, "Call Arthur back." ”
"And that angel looks a lot like Alicia." Isabel said.
She stared at Char, "You don't seem surprised. ”
"Angels have no real faces." Char said, "But when they come to earth, they will appear as human beings."
Maybe it's because Alicia is so good-looking, so they chose it as a template. ”
Isabel nodded, and she continued, "The one who drew that sword is the one you said will save the monarch of Britannia in the future, right?"
You already knew this was going to happen. ”
Char smiled and opened the lid of the iron pot on the stew.
The rich flavor of the beef and the softness and sweetness of the potatoes come together.
It was a pot of potato beef stew, which was stewed before Char went to insert the sword in the stone, and it stewed for more than forty minutes, and the soup was perfectly absorbed into the beef and potatoes.
Isabel and Alicia's stomachs crumbled in surprise.
"Let's eat first." Char said funny.
Potatoes can be used as a staple food, so Char didn't make a staple food either.
Isabel is now a cat, and the amount of food is not very large, and Alicia's meal is actually not very large.
It's that Arthur has been eating more and more recently, and Char has prepared a separate pot for him.
And Sonny's words are just fed raw meat, lions don't eat vegetables, so their vitamin sources basically come from meat, and the vitamins in cooking meat will be inactivated.
Alicia stepped forward and filled Isabel with a bowl of potato goulash and picked some cauliflower for her to put on it.
Then I filled myself with a bowl as well.
The beef stew is very soft and flavorful, and you can easily tear off the beef with a bite, and the potatoes bring the fresh aroma of beef, and the stew is very soft and glutinous.
"You know that angel, don't you?" Isabel looked up as she enjoyed her meal.
Char nodded, "Sort of." ”
Although she had been prepared, Isabel was still a little surprised to hear his answer.
"Why do you seem to know everyone?"
Isabel looked at Alicia, "Do you know about this?" ”
"I don't know, but I'm not surprised." Alicia said, "Do you know Mr. Sameler, who was with us at barbecue? ”
Isabel nodded, "I know, Char's friend, your tavern bartender seems to be a wizard too, right?" ”
"He has another name." Alicia said, "Dionysus. ”
Isabel didn't react for a moment, but when she realized the meaning behind the name, her eyes widened slightly.
