"Merlin?" Wilde frowned slightly, "Is that the sage from King Arthur's legend?" ”

"Yes, but not all," McCroft whispered, "remember what I just said about the demonic invasion that befell the imperial capital of Britannia a few years ago?" ”

A few people nodded.

"I said, if it weren't for the advent of a certain being, maybe the entire imperial capital would be destroyed."

"That being of yours is Merlin?" Raman frowned.

"I don't know his name, I don't know where he came from. But what I do know is that he is very powerful, so powerful that even the Demon King may be an ant to him. ”

Mycroft whispered in a deep voice, what had happened that day had been in his nightmares for a long time, and he simply couldn't forget it.

Perhaps more people died that night than in any war in Britannia since the World War.

And the images of those soldiers being turned into powder in an instant still often echo in his mind.

"At that time, I transferred an entire armored composite brigade near the imperial capital, and a large number of them even participated in the war with Germany.

There are also magicians and the Grim Reaper."

"Death?" Wilde couldn't help but snort. "Is it a special forces codename?"

"No, it's real, the god of death." Mycroft whispered, "Dressed in black robes and armed with scythes, they killed a lot of demons. ”

Several high-ranking people from Europe fell silent.

Death is always the ultimate fear for all.

When they are alive, people usually avoid this topic, or even keep it secret.

But once it is brought up, there is a sense of uneasiness and fear of being chased by time. In particular, the average age of several people here is actually over 50.

Wilder took a slight breath and smiled wryly, "I wish I hadn't come here, my materialism has been hit." ”

"Materialism simply insists on the primacy of matter and the secondness of spirituality. Since death can be seen and perceived by us, it naturally exists objectively in the material world. The middle-aged man said slowly, "On the contrary, if you really see these things and don't believe them, it is a kind of idealism." ”

Wilde nodded, "Yes."

"In normal times, we don't see this kind of thing." Mycroft spoke slowly.

"However, according to those magicians of the time.

Because the demons have opened the nodes of hell, certain breaths from hell permeate the city.

so that we can see them.

Demons see the soul as something that purifies their soul, and even more so as the currency of hell.

Therefore, in the eyes of these things, human beings are a kind of food, but also a tonic.

However, the soul is under the jurisdiction of Hades, so these demons also touch the interests of Hades.

That's why those Grim Reapers. ”

After a pause, Mycroft murmured with a solemn face, "At first, our forces were able to fight against those armies from hell, and even almost sealed the entrance to hell, but in the end, because of an accident, that demon king successfully broke through some blockades and came to the world.

In just an instant, whether it was the Grim Reaper, the magicians, or the army, it was all dealt with.

It's a power beyond human imagination.

At that time, I had even made the decision to use a nuclear bomb to kill this monster. ”

The faces of several people were very solemn.

The fact that he was prepared to release a nuclear bomb on his own capital was enough to make everyone present feel the severity of the time.

"Still. It was also at this moment that that being appeared. ”

Mycroft's eyes whispered deeply, "With his absolute power, he expelled the demon king, including his dependents, from the world. ”

"That guy is Merlin?" Rahman asked.

McCroft didn't immediately explain, but continued, "I've been investigating this being ever since, and I've been following the trails he left in this world. I found a lot of things.

For example, whether it is Britannia, Germany, or the Maeser revolution behind North Russia, it is actually related to him.

And that's it."

Mycroft looked at the middle-aged man, "You should know something about this. ”

The middle-aged man frowned suspiciously.

However, McCroft continued, "The martial arts and even the strength of the founder of the Brotherhood named Heilang were given by that being. ”

The middle-aged man opened his eyes slightly, and his mind came up with Hei Lang's old appearance, which he knew for the first time.

"Brotherhood!?" Wild seemed to have heard of the name as well, and his eyes were a little wide, "He's the Great Mentor?" ”

There was a faint glint in McCroft's eyes, and he looked at Wilder with interest, "Looks like you're from that organization too, aren't you?" ”

"What kind of organization is that?" Raman frowned slightly, obviously, he was relatively new to it.

"A mysterious organization with a history of hundreds of years, with powerful assassination techniques, very strong combat effectiveness, and very strong financial resources." Mycroft said slowly, "In the past few hundred years, many famous assassinations may have been related to them. Like what. The bizarre death of Nicholas II, as well as the death of the famous Duke of Dadinitte. The revolution led by Mordred that overthrew the rule of Arthur the Great, and even the revolution in North Russia, had something to do with them. ”

Raman looked at the middle-aged man, who nodded.

"The International Mercerist movement has always been funded by them, but they have never interfered with us, they have only provided money and some power.

At that time, the mecha used in the coup d'état were all provided by them.

It was they who infiltrated the Winter Palace and subdued Nicholas II that made everything so simple.

Since then, I have rarely interacted with them.

They also rarely interfere in our internal politics.

I have the impression that they are a mysterious group of people who sincerely act for the liberation of the people of the world. ”

"Then why did the being create such an organization?" Raman asked, puzzled.

"This organization was not created by that being." "He just mentored the founders of the organization, and that's it." However, in my subsequent investigations, I found a lot of interesting things."

McCroft looked at the middle-aged man, "This gentleman and Mr. Tesla have seen him in the same tavern. ”

Hearing this, the middle-aged man was stunned.

He hadn't seen the statue of Char in the basement, so naturally he couldn't realize that Char was the one he had seen in the tavern.

However, after hearing Mycroft's reminder, the middle-aged man's eyes widened violently.

"It's !? him"

"Mr. Tesla proves that the two are the same person." McCroft said.

Looking at the middle-aged man's gaze, Tesla nodded, "According to his description, it should be a person." ”

"I didn't expect there to be such a relationship." The middle-aged man muttered softly.

"Mr. Tesla was in Moscow when he was hunted down by the Tsar's men." "And this gentleman was in Switzerland at the time. Interestingly, they met in the same place, the tavern that existed to open it. And the name of this tavern is called Merlin's Tavern."

Several people present opened their eyes slightly.

Ramses, on the other hand, closed his eyelids and gave an expression of interest.

He even asked the maid to pour himself a glass of wine, which he held and shook gently.

"So, you think this guy is actually Merlin?" Raman frowned.

"Hear me out first." Mycrof looked at the middle-aged man, "As far as I know, in the Winter Palace, there is a painting painted by Catherine the Great, and the object of the painting is that existence, right?" ”

Raman opened his eyes to look at the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man nodded, "Moreover, the portrait of Catherine that is exhibited as a national treasure in the Winter Palace is painted by that being." ”

"What does he have to do with Emperor Ye?" Wang Hanlin asked.

"Who knows." Mycrof shrugged, "But I'm sure he must have met the emperor in the past, and I even suspect that Catherine's ability to rule Tsarist Russia at that time may have something to do with him." Because."

Mycroft looked at the middle-aged man, "The reason why you were able to overthrow the Tsar also has an indirect relationship with him, isn't it?" Because of him, you have the help of the Brotherhood, and because of him, you were able to meet Tesla and get his technical support. ”

"What's more critical is that." Mycroft looked at Ramses, "This pharaoh from thousands of years of ancient Egyptian civilization also appeared in this world because of him. In other words, the entire Great Egyptian Empire was established because of that existence. ”

"Thousands of years ago?" Raman opened his eyes violently and looked at Ramses with a slight dismay, as if he realized something, "Are you really the Ramses II in history?" ”

Ramses slowly raised the corners of his mouth, "Is it strange?" ”

Ratan came back to his senses, he looked around, at the drifting clouds and the sky that was almost indistinguishable from the real blue sky, and no one felt that the place they were in at the moment was under Cairo.

Compared to the existence of this miraculous city, the existence in front of me came from ancient Egypt thousands of years ago, but it is normal.

"So, a long time ago, there were ancient civilizations on Earth that were far more advanced than the current human civilization." Wang Hanlin said in a low voice, "It's just that it gradually disappeared because of some accidents, right?" ”

Ramses looked at Wang Hanlin and said appreciatively, "You are very smart. ”

The middle-aged man thought for a while, "If you really want to talk about the history of ancient civilizations, you will have to talk about it for a long time." ”

He looked at Mycroft, "You go ahead and talk about that being. ”

McCroft nodded, and continued.

"The revolutions of Britannia, Germany, Tsarist Russia were all related to him, and the creation of the Great Egyptian Empire was also related to him.

Even the reason why Catherine was able to rule such an empire as a woman had something to do with him.

So do you think that Arthur the Great of Britannia will have nothing to do with him?

What's more, his tavern just happened to have such an interesting name."

The group fell into deep thought.

"It's a coincidence, indeed." Wilde nodded.

"Because it's not a coincidence." "If you carefully study the history of Arthur the Great, you will find that his life is simply a legend, a legend that a normal person would not have created.

And the most important thing is that the story of him pulling out the sword in the stone is almost exactly the same as the story of the Arthurian legend, and it just so happens that Arthur the Great is also called Arthur.

Do you think this could be a coincidence? ”

"When everything happens too coincidentally, it's definitely not a coincidence." "There is only one possibility," said Mycroft, "and that is that the sage 'Merlin', who taught King Arthur of Britain in the past, was also the mentor of Arthur the Great.

He used to make King Arthur the king of Britain by choosing the sword, and a hundred years ago, he copied this method again, making Arthur the Great the emperor of Britannia!

Based on this, we might as well spread our thinking a little further."

The conference hall was already quiet at the moment.

"I remember," interjected Wilder at this moment, "wasn't that Arthur the Great's sword in stone stabbed by an angel?" ”

"That's right." Mycroft nodded, "And now the stone platform where the sword in the stone was inserted is still preserved in the Baal Cathedral, and there is even a statue of the angel standing." And we even have a sword in the stone, and we saw the power of that sword not long ago. ”

"But if all this is manipulated by the man you say you say it is, isn't it?"

Speaking of this, Wild suddenly stopped, and at this moment, she was enveloped by an inexplicable chill.

It's not just her, it's the people around her.

Gradually, they felt that a pair of invisible hands were wantonly playing with the river of human history, which should have no one to guide the direction.

Destiny, operating under his will.

"I actually have that guess too." Mycroft nodded, "Polytheism is the religious foundation of Roman kingship. Therefore, the Roman emperors were long-standing suspicious and hostile to monotheism, accusing monotheists of being atheists, pagans who even ate human flesh and advocated fornication, and evil scum. Following Emperor Nero's murder of monotheists, monotheism has been illegal.

During the reign of Emperor Constantine, it suddenly rose to prominence and became the state religion of the Roman Empire."

After a pause, he continued.

"Britannia's founding history, the sudden rise of the North Star after its decline, and even the domination of most of the world at its peak." McCroft looked at Wang Hanlin, "These are all "miracles" that are extremely difficult to describe with common sense, and they are all great things that no one can easily create. But these things are real history. ”

There was a faint glimmer in Mycroft's eyes, "But. . . If the assumption is the influence of that existence, it all makes so much sense."

At this moment, the breath of the people in this conference hall also stopped a little, even the maids who were standing behind them and served them, including the assistants they brought.

Mycroft could clearly see goosebumps growing on their bare skin.

He could understand how these people were doing, because he had the same nightmares for many days after realizing this.

Because if all his guesses are true.

It means that the entire history of mankind is actually moving forward under the will of one person.

This kind of impact is enough for any person to collapse the worldview.

At the same time, their souls trembled with the power of existence.

But fortunately, the people here are all leaders of world powers, so they quickly relented.

Wang Hanlin continued, "What is his purpose? ”

"I'm wondering about that, too." "Maybe it's just because it's funny, but I don't see a second player on this board called "World."

But there may really be a second player playing against him.

Because "

"It's very boring to play chess with yourself by yourself." Wang Hanlin took over and said, "And only when there is an opponent, it is more interesting."

There was a twinkle in McCroft's eyes, "You're right"
