Chapter 93



Late at night, Artoria Custer had already fallen asleep.

Ize Shan and Meilin were both sitting by the fire, seemingly resting with their eyes closed, but in fact they were discussing the current situation in their dreams.

"The news of Cornwall has not spread, and the villagers, as you might imagine, are awaiting Her Majesty's troops in fear and expectation."

Merlin said, "But they will never be able to wait."

In the dream, Merlin was sitting on a wide chair with a round table in front of him.

Yes, it is the famous meeting round table in the legend of King Arthur. All the knights sitting at the round table can equally put forward their opinions and suggestions to King Arthur.

Ize Shan sat next to Meilin.

But in the dream, Ize Shan was wearing a full set of King Uther's attire, holding a staff in his hand, and hanging behind him was the dragon-headed banner representing the British monarchy.

This is Merlin's suggestion. "I may not be the only dream dweller in the fairy kingdom. Even if we talk about things in our dreams, we can be easily invaded."

"Anyway, you already have control over part of the British Isles, making you half of King Uther. Let's just dress up this dream as a pre-defense meeting. If Vortigern, who changed his name to Oberon, were to come in and suddenly see this scene, his mind would definitely be slightly shaken and shocked, which would make it easier for me to take control of the dream."

Ize Shan thought Merlin's idea was good, so he worked with Merlin to develop a new dream skin: the Royal Palace Conference Room.

"Don't worry about the goblins in Cornwall. Given the nature of goblins, they will think in a few days that they have already reported the situation, but it was the clan leaders who didn't take it seriously. So why should the lower goblins worry about the masters? This is not their fault, but the fault of Her Majesty the Queen and the higher goblins."

Ize Shan rolled his eyes implicitly and asked Merlin, "How is the news about Oberon going?"

"That is truly a very popular prince."

Merlin said this with an exaggerated exclamatory tone, laughing uncontrollably, "I think I've figured out the situation of the white dragon Vortigern. You know, there are floating objects from pan-human history in the fairy kingdom, and Shakespeare's plays are also one of the floating objects. Influenced by the pan-human history "A Midsummer Night's Dream", Vortigern of the fairy kingdom does behave like a prince."

"He tells everyone all kinds of stories, says nice things, and makes everyone happy. Wherever he is, the fairies gathered together are always happy."

When Izawa Sugi heard this, the expression on his face became subtle.

"Is this the same Oberon I know? He was very sarcastic when he spoke to me. He was quite vicious!"

This is also one of the reasons why Ize Shan quickly confirmed Oberon's identity.

Because the temperament of the white dragon Vortigern he knew was subtly similar to that of Ji Guoyansheng, both were twisted yet delicate, and although they were clearly trapped in darkness, there was an indescribable air of dignity in their words.

The first time he woke up from his seriously injured sleep, Ize Shan confirmed that Oberon, who awakened him, had an ancient and distant primitive aura. Even though it was a negative force tending towards disaster, destruction and curse, it still spoke of this man's extraordinary and antiquity.

Ize Shan would never mistake the breath that was similar to the original life of the planet. He had felt it in the light pulse, on Tiamat, and even on Mia, the unidentified creature that defeated the Hakka family.

The only one who can represent the island's ancient and primordial aura of destruction, apart from the gods, is the white dragon Vtigern!

Merlin did not answer Ize Shan's question, he continued to talk about Oberon's intelligence.

"Although our Mr. Vortigern is loved by all the goblins, it is said that he is very poor and has almost never paid for meals. He relies on telling stories and performing magic tricks to get the right to eat for free..."

Izawa Sugi: “…”

Ah this.

He thought about how he had handed Artoria over to the white dragon Vortigern to raise under the banner of King Uther in exchange for a large amount of food and supplies.

How rich was Vortigern back then! How come he became a poor prince after wearing the skin of Oberon? Too miserable!

Apparently Merlin thought so too. He kept laughing, but as he laughed, his tone became more serious.

"But precisely because he is welcomed and loved by all the fairies, his sources of information are very wide. It is said that he is also a good friend of Aurora, the leader of the Wind Clan, and Murion, the leader of the Wing Clan. He also acts as a broker to introduce various businesses to Spriggan, the Lord of Norriqi."

"Oberon claims to be the goblin king of the Autumn Forest. According to my research, the Autumn Forest is probably located in Wales, west of Salisbury. In the eyes of the goblins, that forest is a gathering place for weak and incompetent bug goblins who are like garbage and cannot survive in the goblin kingdom and do not even have any intelligence."

"It's a garbage gathering place that will die on its own even if left alone. It won't even turn into Morse after death, and it can't even cause any trouble to others."

"And Oberon seems to be the king of the fairies in this forest."

At this point, Merlin reminded Ize Shan, "I tried to go around the outskirts of the Welsh Forest, but I couldn't find any intelligent creatures there, and naturally I couldn't enter their dreams to investigate. Apparently the rumors about the Fairy Kingdom are true."

Ize Shan was silent for a long time and then smiled bitterly.

"The white dragon Vortigern, born from a group of lower-level goblins like insects..." He said to Merlin, "Do you know what I was like before?"

Merlin looked at Ize Sugi.

Ize Shan sighed with emotion: "After being hit by Morgan's holy spear, I turned into a light insect form, and was pulled out of the insect group by Oberon."

Merlin blinked, clapped his hands, and said with interest, "Do you need me to congratulate you and your brother for being born in the fairy kingdom in the same way?"

Ize Shan glared at Merlin, then had a strange expression on his face: "He did call me his brother, and said that he hoped I would help him destroy the world, so I agreed, and actually made a plan to destroy the world."

Merlin burst out laughing, and couldn't help laughing when he thought of the specific details of Izawa Sugi's plan to destroy the world.

All of Izawa Sugi's Uchiha relatives are keen on destroying the world and they know all the ways to do it. What's more, Izawa Sugi has been traveling for many years and has seen many monsters and demons - oh, Vortigern is one of these monsters - when it comes to destroying the world, there are really few people who are as experienced as Izawa Sugi.

"Anyway, it seems that His Excellency Bai Long is a little short of money and military power this time, but he has the upper hand in intelligence."

Merlin became interested. He couldn't see Oberon with his [present vision], but he had become a resident of the dreamland like him, and even an intelligence chief. This not only made Merlin very curious, but also gave rise to a sense of competition.

He felt a little regretful, "It's a pity that I can't see it, and he has been avoiding me..."

Ize Shan said: "Let him avoid me, and I will achieve my first stage goal first. Help me collect the locations of all the farms on the British Isles, and place my Flying Thunder God Technique near the farms."

There was a hint of a smile on his face, although his eyes were a little cold.

"I'm also bringing Artoria Custer with me. If we were nearby every time something happened on the farm, it would cause trouble for her."

Merlin: "I understand. You can use your spell to attack the enemy. When the enemy is relaxed, you can destroy the farm workshop and snatch the fragments of the witch's body."

Izawa Sugi: "It's not about destroying it, but about entering the production room and modifying the magic formulas on the magic props used to make humans."

Merlin was stunned.

Izawa Shan said slowly, "Morgan is indeed a genius, but the technique she uses bears traces of Chaldea, which happens to be the part I can study and analyze. I plan to take advantage of the night to stick my modified technique under Morgan's technique."

Collecting the witch's body fragments one by one is not only slow, but also gives Morgan time to react.

Izawa Sugi plans to modify the technique of the multiplication detonation talisman. "After confirming that all the production factories have the technique I left behind, I will take away the body fragments of all the witches in the fairy country within a second and blow up the production factories, so that the fairy country will no longer be able to produce humans."

In this way, even if Morgan sent people to investigate and track, there would be nothing they could do.

Merlin smiled slowly. "That's a delicate job."

Ize Shan understood what Merlin meant. He frowned slightly, but still had no choice but to compromise: "... Don't worry, I can wait until Custer is sixteen years old before launching."

Otherwise, Merlin was deliberately slacking off, and Ize Shan would be unable to do anything about it.

Merlin smiled and said, "I can't help it. I just follow the guidance of fate. There are some things we can't do anything about and can only watch."

Ize Shan thought to himself, I understand, so he wanted to cooperate with Oberon and let these two mystery tellers roll up against each other!

He snapped his fingers and said, "Here, these are some Flying Thunder God-style markers I made. Place them near the human farm."

Merlin put away the spell, and then he thought of something: "Oh, by the way, there is something new happening in the Fairy Kingdom recently."

"The queen has issued a decree to all the goblins of the various clans. She is preparing to convene a tourney in Camelot."

Ize Shan was stunned at first, and then he came up with a good idea: "The spring of the gambling industry!"

Not only can you make money, but you can also detect the strength of the Queen's army and even establish a good intelligence channel!

Merlin: “…”

Ize Shan glanced at Merlin with disdain, "You are a wanted criminal. Forget it. We need to find Oberon for this matter. Hurry up and leave. If you stay with me, Oberon will not show up. Who wants you to be disliked by him?"

Merlin: “…”

He sighed repeatedly and deliberately mentioned the incident when Izawa Sugi was kicked away by Senju Tobirama. "Throw it away after use, Sugi. You finally turned into your second uncle's shape..."

Izawa Sugi: “…”

After a few seconds of embarrassment, he raised his chin without changing his expression and said proudly, "Thank you for the compliment!"

The next morning, Merlin disappeared like the morning dew.

Although Merlin is gone, Oberon does not appear.

Ize Shan was a little confused. Was there something wrong with his calculation? Was Oberon not waiting in Salisbury? Was he somewhere else?

But then Izawa Sugi thought of another possibility.

If Oberon didn't care about Izeshan's whereabouts and movements, he wouldn't have sent Blanc the Hawkmoth to find him.

But if Oberon was in danger or stuck, why didn't he let Blanca ask Izeshan for help?

Although the two may have slightly different goals, if Oberon is dead, Ize Shan will not be able to operate in Britain for a long time due to lack of strength.

Oberon knew that Izeshan needed his help, and Izeshan knew that Oberon lacked the powerful means to fight against Morgan. Since the two of them needed each other, there was a basis for cooperation.

Then there is only one answer.

Ize Shan's gaze slowly fell on Artoria Custer, who was packing her bags and breaking up the fire that she had lit last night.

Oberon left a rune of monitoring or marking on Artoria Kaster, so he could keep an eye on Ize Shan through the girl.

Ize Shan hesitated for a moment and smiled: "Caster, Merlin told me an interesting news yesterday."

Artoria Custer picked up her bag and her staff. She looked at Ize Shan curiously: "What news?"

"The Tournament of Camelot."

Izawa Sugi roughly described the details of the tournament. "Whether fairies or humans, anyone under the age of 16 can go to Camelot to participate in the tournament. The winner will receive the chosen spear from Her Majesty the Queen. It is said that the weapon has terrible power, and even can fight fairy knights with the weapon. Therefore, not only fairies, but also many humans are eager to try it."

Artoria Custer's eyes lit up.

"That sounds interesting."

Izawa Sugi: "Although I taught you the basics of sword-holding and footwork, you lack actual combat experience."

The girl's level is too basic, and the improvement from practicing with Izawa Sugi is too low.

"It seems that the Queen has entrusted the auditions to the cities where the six major clans are located. The auditions will last for a long time. Let's go to Salisbury to inquire about the details. If there is enough time, you can also sign up and give it a try. You can improve your strength while playing in the competition."

Izawa Shan smiled and said casually, "I just don't know if there is any gambling industry here. If we can place bets, we can still earn some money for our trip."

Artoria Custer noticed the words gambling and betting: "Bet? Earn? What does that mean?"

Izawa Shan said with a smile in a tone of cutting leeks: "Oh, it's about who will win and who will lose before the game."

~

"...you can set more detailed odds, such as how many moves you win, whether it's a big win, a small win, or a draw...the dealer can't lose, because the dealer can also earn commissions. In fact, it's most convenient to leave this matter to the lord. I remember that the queen set up an existence tax. If money can be offset by the existence tax, the clan leaders will have a new way to make money..."

Oberon listened quietly to the words coming from the Staff of Selection, his heart pounding.

With his connections, he can easily build a huge gambling network, such as Salisbury, Gloucester, Norwich...even Manchester and Oxford will not refuse this income, right?

For a fairy, who would refuse unexpected wealth?

As long as Her Majesty the Queen agrees to use the money earned from gambling to offset the existence tax, Queen Morgan's magic reserves can be reduced.

Even if the queen didn't agree, it didn't matter. To Oberon, running around for this matter and building a network of clan leaders was his greatest wealth.

What's more, he can make a lot of money as a middleman! He can finally get rid of the label of poverty!

"...King Uther from Panhuman History?"

The jealousy, hatred, and resentment in Auberon's heart remained, but now there was another emotion.

It smells really good.
