Chapter 624 Dragon Nature
Outside Fairy City.
Artoria looked back at the city hidden in the mist behind her, forced herself to suppress an impulse in her heart, turned her horse around, and took Bedivere to Orkney.
As the two walked further away, Luo En turned around and looked at Meilushin beside him:
"Tell me, why are you the only one here? Where are Morgan and the others?"
According to the original plan, he was responsible for teaching the incarnation of the goddess Danu - King Arthur Artoria, so that he could develop a soul and possess complete sensibility and rationality; the three Morgan sisters were responsible for maintaining the operation of the ceremony, finding the reincarnations of the gods of Danu, guiding them to join the Knights of the Round Table, and laying the foundation for a complete divine career for the goddess Danu.
However, more than ten years have passed, and his training of Altria has begun to show results, but the three Morgan sisters have yet to show up and promote the plan.
In fact, the situation in Britain as a whole began to get worse and worse, and it seemed that the end of the world was approaching.
"Something went wrong..."
Meilushin stepped forward and explained the whole story truthfully.
The plan went well at first.
Under the operation of the ritual, the spirituality archived by the gods of Danu was reshaped into human beings, and they were involved in this carefully designed divine cause with a new identity.
But as more and more Tuatha de Danaan escaped from the Inner Sea of Stars and were reborn, problems arose with the core island of Avalon:
The catastrophic power that had accumulated underground in Britain had lost the divine suppression of the gods of Tuatha de Danu and was recovering at an accelerated pace, becoming stronger and stronger.
It even got to the point where the three lake fairy sisters had to work together to barely control it.
For this reason, Morgan and the other two had to put their original plan on hold and lead the six major fairy clans and the remaining two fairy knights into the [utopia] Avalon to suppress the calamity force that was stirring in the depths of the earth.
In order to ensure the smooth progress of the ceremony, Melusine, the strongest of the three fairy knights, accepted the commission, walked out of the lake connected to the [Utopia], and came to the North as "Lancelot", replacing the three Morgan sisters, looking for the new Tuatha de Danaan, and recruiting them to assist King Arthur Altria in completing this trial of the gods.
After listening to this, Luo En couldn't help but frown:
"Has Britain's [Disaster] grown to this extent?"
"Very strong. I'm afraid only the return of the Great Mother Goddess can deal with it!"
Meilushin answered seriously, with a hint of deep fear on her little face.
Unlike what everyone imagined, Vortigern was not just the remnant of Albion, but a doomsday monster bred by all the catastrophic forces on the British Isles.
As a "holy land" where many heroes of the Age of Gods have participated, Britain has experienced more than four major invasions.
In other words, buried beneath this land are the divine remnants of at least four civilizations from the Age of Gods. It is not an exaggeration to call it the "Graveyard of the Age of Gods."
The previous conquest of Orlaug and the re-creation of the Kabbalah Tree of Life did help the Celtic Age of Gods overcome difficulties and allow it to continue smoothly.
But that catastrophic force had long been entangled with the entire Celtic Age of Gods and had not been completely purified.
With the reincarnation of the Tuatha de Danaan and the goddess Tuatha de Danaan, the self-purification ability of the entire Celtic Age of Gods was weakened to the extreme. The [disaster] hidden deep in the earth veins also erupted and gave birth to [Vortigern], a monster that symbolizes doomsday and destruction.
"This is a bit troublesome."
Luo En rubbed his eyebrows, feeling a little distressed.
With his ability, he can deal with [Vortigern].
But the prerequisite is that he needs to break the shackles here and return to reality.
This also means that Altria's divine trial will end here.
All the previous efforts of him and the three Morgan sisters would be in vain.
If things go wrong, it might cause irreversible soul damage to the Tuatha de Danu and Artoria.
Perhaps, it was precisely because of this that the three Morgan sisters did not inform him of these changes, but chose to stay on the island of Avalon to suppress the catastrophic power in the earth veins and delay the development of Vortigern, hoping that Altria could grow up before the disaster became uncontrollable.
But from the results, it is obvious that the power of the three Morgan sisters and the six fairy clans is no longer able to suppress [Vortigern] in the earth veins.
"Don't worry, the [Four Thrones] have all appeared. As long as we gather them together, we will soon be able to rebuild the divine cause for the Mother Goddess!"
Meilushin spoke to comfort her.
Lorne listened, thoughtfully:
"So, Gawain is the Third Throne?"
In this mystery, most of the Knights of the Round Table have corresponding identities as Tuatha de Dana.
Among them, the one-armed Bedivere corresponds to the First Throne - Silver Hand Nuada;
The fourth beast, Kathy Palug, inherited the power of the beast god Cernunnos and corresponds to the fourth throne;
The third throne, the sun god Luger, naturally manifested himself in the sun knight Gawain.
According to legend, Gawain's power changes with the rising and setting of the sun. His power triples at noon and weakens at sunset. In fact, these Celtic elements did not originate from Wales and England, but are deeply rooted in the cultural soil of Ireland.
Gawain corresponds to the image of the sun god Luger.
Therefore, some people believe that the sun god Luger is the prototype of the sun knight Gawain.
Mei Luxin nodded and said:
"Yes, he is the third person we are looking for. But he is a stubborn person and he is naturally incompatible with fairies. He always goes against me."
"Can you beat him?"
Lorne was a little surprised.
Meilushin raised her head and answered confidently:
"At least I won't lose so easily! In order to enable me to defeat those arrogant gods and successfully carry out the plan after I reach the shore, my mother and the others gave me the throne of Manano, the god of the sea."
Mananno, the god of the sea - the second of the four thrones of Sky Island.
He fell in the war between the Norse and Celtic gods, his godhood was shattered, his spirituality was annihilated, and he almost lost the possibility of reincarnation.
Therefore, the three Morgan sisters let Meilushin fill this gap.
Coming from the lake and close to all waters - this is why Meilushin calls himself the [Knight of the Lake].
After Loen figured out the whole story, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
The sea god Mananor is not only the second throne, but also the adoptive father of the sun god Luger. The two have a very close relationship.
Although Melusin did not do it on purpose, she did take away Mananno's throne, eliminating the possibility of the sea god's resurrection, which naturally aroused Gawain's instinctive hatred.
In addition, Melusin also has fairy blood, and is Morgan's most trusted fairy knight, representing the will of the three sisters of the lake fairy and the fairy clan;
The sun god Lugu is the strongest among the Tuatha de Danann after the military god Nuada lost his arm. Therefore, Gawain represents the interests of the Tuatha de Dann.
The two sides naturally have different camps.
In addition, Melusin has the foundation of the Vanir sacred beast, the Albion Dragon, as well as the ocean attribute that counteracts the sun, so she has the maximum buffs.
No wonder you two will dislike each other in the future and become enemies...
"What are your plans next?"
"Isn't he trying to cause trouble for me? Just let him come."
Meilushin spoke proudly, with a strong fighting spirit in her vertical pupils.
Dragonborn are warlike and powerful creatures.
If Morgan and others had not asked her to unite and recruit the Knights of the Round Table and help the Great Mother Goddess Danu to forge her divine career as soon as possible, she would have wanted to fight Gawain long ago.
At the moment, she did not go looking for trouble with Gawain, but the other party came to attack her first.
Just take this opportunity for the two sides to have a fight!
Luo En nodded and said:
"Okay, let's go back and wait for news."
Whether it is the four thrones of Sky Island and the three sisters of the Lake Fairy, or the gods belonging to the Tuatha de Danaan and the fairies composed of the six major fairy clans, the two sides have long had conflicts and have fought each other many times.
As long as it does not affect the overall situation of rebuilding the divine cause for Artoria, they can fight openly or secretly.
After all, if his subordinates are too united, the monarch will be afraid.
However, just as Loen yawned and returned to his bedroom, he saw Meilushin squeezing in like a shadow.
"What are you doing here?"
"Sleep together!"
Meilushin made the request seriously, her pupils full of anticipation.
Lorne didn't know whether to laugh or cry:
"Is that why you asked me to stay?"
"Well, you haven't hugged me for a long time."
Meilushin wrinkled her nose and complained somewhat dissatisfiedly.
As we all know, in addition to being strong and warlike, dragons also have a strong sense of territory and possessiveness.
In Melusin's concept, Albion is her territory, and outsiders are not allowed to set foot in it without permission;
Morgan and Lorne jointly gave her a new life and were the people closest to her. Outsiders were not allowed to interfere without permission.
But now, the three Morgan sisters are busy all day helping Altria rebuild their divine career, and Lorne also follows Altria everywhere, almost treating her as half a daughter.
Obviously, I was here first...
Meilushin gritted her teeth, jumped directly onto the bed, hugged one of Loen's arms tightly with both hands, crawled on the inside of the bed, and firmly occupied a corner of the quilt.
Loen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and could only take on the responsibility of a caregiver and comfort Milushin to sleep.
Reliving the old dream, Meilushin's face was filled with contentment, and she curled up in the arms of her caregiver and fell into a deep sleep.
Like a giant dragon, it is guarding its precious treasure.
~~
At this moment, Altria, who was traveling under the moonlight, felt a sense of distress in her chest for no reason.
It was as if something precious had been taken away from him out of thin air.
Fortunately, this feeling did not last long.
Because they ran into the Orkney army.
The legendary Sun Knight Gawain was riding on a brown-black warhorse and walking at the front of the team.
He was tall and straight, with short golden hair as dazzling as molten gold, his emerald eyes burning with the blazing light of the sun, and his handsome face exuding an awe-inspiring aura that could not be violated. The silver-white armor was engraved with complex sun patterns, and the scarlet cloak fell behind him like a flowing sunset glow. The holy sword Carventine hung at his waist was flowing with a red-gold halo like lava, indicating his deep connection with the divinity of the sun.
Even in the dark, the man in front of him was still as dazzling as the sun.
Artoria announced her name, and under the guidance of two Orkney knights, she walked up to Gawain and took the initiative to explain her purpose:
"We are knights from the southern border. We are here to advise you and Lord Lancelot not to stir up meaningless conflicts, but to shake hands and make peace together to fight against the disaster caused by the humble king Vortigern."
"You want me to cooperate with those goblins? Do you know how many people in the North have died at the hands of those things in the past few months?"
"About three cities and a dozen villages were massacred. I heard from refugees fleeing from the southern border. The native people were in a panic and either fled or moved into Orkney. The situation was serious."
When Gao Wen heard this, a hint of surprise appeared on his face.
It can be seen that this is not some noble lady who rushed over to persuade him to stop fighting on a whim, but someone who truly understands the current situation in the North.
At the same time, he was more curious:
"Since you know all this, why do you come to stop me?"
"Because the Knight of the Lake is not your enemy. She is doing the same thing as you, trying her best to save lives and stop this disaster!"
Altria paused and added,
"In addition to providing shelter for goblins, Albion also took in a large number of humans. I saw this with my own eyes. I don't think a knight with such good deeds and a group of goblins willing to accept foreigners would go along with the humble king Vortigern."
Gawain shook his head. "These are just your one-sided words. I can't risk the lives of my subjects and the future of the North on the moral character of those little guys just based on your few words."
Although there are rumors that the goblins of Albion do not eat humans and are very friendly to humans.
But deep down, he was disgusted by these capricious creatures and could not easily trust them.
In comparison, it is easier to just clear it all out.
After solving these potential threats, he can focus on dealing with Vortigern.
Seeing that Gawain had not changed his mind, Altria tried to persuade him again:
"If you have doubts about these goblins, I can take you to Albion. There are many humans who have fled there. You should believe what they say, right?"
"So what? Fairies and humans have different views on good and evil. Although they may do some good things, it's just a whim. Their nature will not change. If we keep them, they will become a disaster sooner or later."
Gawain shook his head, unmoved.
He is as stubborn as the legend says.
Altria frowned deeply, stared at the Sun Knight, and asked again:
"So, you really want to kill all the goblins in the North without any discrimination?"
"So what?"
"Then I will have to side with Lancelot and become your enemy."
"Are you threatening me?"
Gawain raised his eyebrows, his voice suddenly turned cold, his right hand climbed up to the jewel-studded hilt at his waist, and pulled the holy sword out of the sheath inch by inch.
A strong murderous intent spread out, forming a tangible golden burning wind.
Facing this divine pressure, Artoria corrected without fear:
“It’s not a threat, it’s a decision!
"There are good and bad people in every tribe, and only their words and deeds can define them. If you want to stir up strife between Orkney and Albion and destroy all the goblins just because of your personal likes and dislikes, then I will have to do everything I can to stop it. And that includes drawing my sword on you!"
She slowly drew out the fine steel sword from her waist, and pointed the tip of the sword at Gawain on horseback among the thousands of soldiers.
For a moment, everyone's faces changed and the atmosphere on the scene became depressing and tense.
