Chapter 523: Are You, Merlin, Male or Female?

"How could there be so many of those monsters..."

When Arturia, the hairless king who was working, heard the alarm bell, and left everything to run out to prepare for the battle, all she saw were griffins flying all over the sky, and monsters with huge flying wings , was flying to the top of her Camelot Castle, and was circling and landing... Soon, before she could react, she could only stare dumbfounded at a little girl she was familiar with. The figure over there was cursing and jumping off the back of the largest monster with white feathers, and then kicked the opponent's thick legs and sharp claws viciously with its small arms and legs.

Seriously, if she hadn't had good eyesight just now and saw this little guy sitting on the back of the most conspicuous of those monsters at a glance, even if she didn't directly pull out the "Sword of Victory Oath" at her waist, she would give it to him. If those monsters come to be ruthless, it is estimated that the soldiers will drive those guys back with random arrows, right?

Of course, although she really wanted to do that now, she still resisted the urge to draw her sword.

Because, those monsters are now one after another, gliding and landing obediently, and one by one, like tame war horses, after landing, they lie on her here and the not too big palace lawn. , occupies almost half of the space.

After stabilizing the feeling of uneasiness in her heart, she stretched out her hand to signal the soldiers not to attack or flee, and then she walked forward cautiously by the hilt of the "Sword of Victory Oath" hanging on her waist.

"they……"

"Annie, what the hell is going on here? These monsters, why did they come here?!"

⊙(?◇?)?

Artoria said that she had never seen such a magical and powerful terrifying creature, whether in her previous life or now!

They look very big...almost as thick as two war horses merged together. They have powerful limbs, sharp claws, sharp eyes, huge beaks, and huge wings. , wide back and strong body...

There is no doubt that just by looking at the past, these monsters must be a very ferocious aerial raptor (beast) that is good at predation and fighting!

It's just... What makes Artoria a little confused is why Anne brought these monsters here at this time?

Could it be that these monsters, like those flame knights and flame horses, or the horse Jieying, a descendant of the divine beast that she loved so much, were also magical creatures summoned by the little girl?

"Hmph! These abominable fellows are called griffins,

They are actually those 'monsters' that came out to eat people these two days! "

Hearing Sister Dumao who was standing not far behind her talking, Annie finally stopped the urge to continue kicking the griffin.

This stupid guy just swooped and landed too fast and too bumpy, which made her feel a little uncomfortable, so she had to accept Queen Anne's punishment!

"They wanted to run out again today to catch people and cattle and sheep, and now, these villains, I have captured them all alive! Look, there are so many of them, am I super powerful?!"

(?′?`?)?

"Here! This fun thing is for you!"

After being proud for a while, Annie grinned happily when she saw the ferocious griffins lying down on the flat ground, and suddenly stretched out her hand, and took a beautiful griffin solidified by her magic. The golden feather was handed over directly to King Dumao who was still a little confused about the situation.

When she was outside the city just now, she turned all the timid soldiers into sheep, and then drove them together with the livestock of the original farmers into the open fields after harvesting, and then, now lie These stupid guys on the ground were really fooled, one by one rushing down to prey?

And then……

When they got close to the ground for a certain distance, amidst the inconceivable exclamation of a magic stick, the scorching flame energy ropes, like tentacle monsters, crazily flew from the magic circles on the ground. He sprang out from the ground, tied the limbs of these monsters firmly, and then forcibly pulled them to the ground, grabbed them all, and none of them could escape!

This is the end of their greed and domineering, dare to come to Camelot to make trouble, come to Her Majesty Queen Anne's territory to run wild, do you really think that no one can cure them?

"Huh? Oh!"

"But... what is this, what is this, and what is the use of it?!"

Still surprised that Little Annie is really strong enough to catch so many man-eating griffins at once, Arturia opened her mouth in surprise for a long time before looking down at the pact that the other party had just forced into her palm. There are golden hard feathers that are palm long and half palm wide.

First, she subconsciously held it in front of her eyes and studied it for a while, and then Arturia immediately became dazed... Obviously, her mind is still a little messed up, and she hasn't been able to recover from the shock these monsters have brought to her. Come, so, I can only raise my head and ask in a surprised voice a little at a loss.

She didn't know what this little guy meant, why did she suddenly give her this feather? It feels very soft, but it is very tough... Also, there seems to be some red blood stains on the end of it, it must have been pulled out not long ago?

But……

What made her a little puzzled was that, looking here, there seemed to be no figure with golden feathers among the large group of 'griffin' monsters in the past, right?

Among them, the biggest and strongest one should be the leader without a doubt!

It is white all over, with a sharp golden beak and sharp claws, and the smaller ones are mostly brown feathers. Of course, there are also some with white hair around their necks? In short, there are about seventy or eighty of them in all colors, and there is no golden one among them.

Artoria, who is still a little confused now, still feels a little confused, what is this little guy Anne doing after catching so many such ferocious monsters? Wouldn't it be enough to just drive them away or kill them so they don't come to Camelot to make trouble again?

"What's the use? Are you stupid? Of course it's very useful!"

"Now take a good look at them, they... are the air force I captured specially for you! Look, they are big and ferocious. Although they are incomparable to giant dragons, if the above Wouldn't it be very powerful if you cooperated with the knight and then threw stones or spears at the enemy from the sky?!"

Of course, the best thing is to throw bombs or something...

But Annie was afraid of trouble, and didn't want to make those weird things for them! Therefore, stones or spear throwing are relatively simple and reliable, and those ancient natives of the earth can easily make them themselves.

"..."

"You mean...air, air force?!"

He lowered his head and looked blankly at the inconspicuous piece of golden feathers in his palm, which was about half the size of his palm, and then looked up at a large group of strong griffins that seemed a little listless for a while due to being captured and enslaved. ...After being dazed for a while, Arturia's breathing suddenly became rapid, and then, a little flush of excitement appeared on her face which was rare.

if……

If these monsters can really obey their own orders, if they can ride knights and use stones, short spears, throwing axes, or fire oil cans to attack the enemy from the air... then from then on, they will be stuck Merlot not only has absolute air superiority, but can also directly change the mode of all wars, right?

Artoria, who has many years of experience in fighting and commanding campaigns, knows that no army in that kingdom can withstand attacks from high altitudes. Although the number is a bit small, under the harassment of her Griffon troops, it will be a blow to the enemy's morale. And a huge blow to the will to fight!

Maybe, in a short period of time, before the Saxon barbarians in the north and overseas officially invaded, he could use force to forcibly smooth out the chaotic situation here in Britain, and even unify the entire southern part of Britain?

"An, Annie..."

"Are you really sure, these griffins, they are really willing to obey my command?!"

The more Artoria thought about it, the more excited she became. After taking a deep breath, she trembled slightly, tightly clutching the feather that she didn't know what it was for, and quickly stepped forward and pulled out a certain feather. A little girl who still wanted to continue to bully the leader of the griffin, then panted heavily and asked in a trembling voice.

"Of course, didn't you see that I flew back with them? Otherwise, what would I do with them?"

Annie pointed to the group of griffins who were lying on the ground one by one, weakly waiting for the trial. It is said that in their temporary lair, there are more small ones and some housekeepers, but under the blood contract, those guys have now been wiped out by Annie!

Perhaps, after King Dumao built a new Griffin Tower lair for these griffins, and after they dragged their families and moved here, there must be at least one or two hundred in number, right? If you keep it well, there will be more in the future?

"It's just that they follow my command because they are afraid of me, and if they want to follow your command, they must use that feather!"

Annie kicked the leading big guy who made her angry again, and after kicking him sobbing with her head in her arms, she pointed to the golden feather that Daimao was holding in her hand angrily and said.

Originally, these guys refused to give in no matter what, even if Annie used the animal language to communicate with them friendly, it was useless, they were so stubborn, they were so stubborn, and they would rather die than give in Under the claws of her Lady Queen Anne!

So, in a fit of anger, Annie simply yanked off the beautiful golden feather on the forehead of the boss in front of her! Then, she directly forced all the griffins present to sign the bloodline soul contract through this feather, and made it into a magic item that can absolutely control and enslave these griffins-"Griffin Feather"!

Shameless fellows like them still want to fight against Her Lady Queen Anne? So, after some rectification and fiddling, these guys all became honest.

And this little golden feather is actually a tool to control, enslave, and summon these guys. As long as you hold it, these griffins and their blood descendants will all be decided by the king of dull hair! And this, even if Annie brought out a group of powerful air forces for the other party, could it be regarded as a small contribution to Camelot's development of a powerful farming road?

Anyway, now these griffins have been tidied up, that's probably what it means.

"So it is!"

"That's great! Really good! Thank you Annie...I think I know what I'm going to do!"

Clutching the tough feather in his hand, he secretly gave an order, and then, the huge white griffin crawled and walked in front of him.

"Really, it's amazing, you can really command them with just one thought?"

Stretching out her hand and slowly stroking its huge sharp beak and thick head feathers, after listening to the other party's low-pitched sobs that flattered her, Artoria faintly felt that she had just become king back then. That kind of ambition, it seems, is back again? !

Looking at it now, even though they had a difficult start for Camelot, they still had a lot of cards in their hands.

If she calculates carefully now, she already has a hundred powerful flame knights who can be resurrected from the dead, and there are so many fierce beasts or griffin knights who are about to appear, so what is she afraid of? Even if she really doesn't have any Knights of the Round Table in the future, she still has the confidence to persevere!

She firmly believes that one day, she will be able to integrate Britain and expel those savage barbarians who are about to invade and slaughter their Celtic people!

"Play as you like, but I want to tell you, these guys are very edible, even better than you, a big belly woman!"

"They have to eat at least one-fifth of their body weight in meat every day, otherwise, once they are starved, they will eat everyone except you!"

When Annie found that the maids and guards of the palace were coming together to watch the fun, she made a face at them, and then threatened them, and scared them all backed away for a long distance.

However, this is not Anne's nonsense!

Because, the raptors (beasts) like griffins are like this, and they can’t eat grass like horses. If they don’t give it food, then the knight riding on it is the lunch it carries with it, hungry and hungry. When you can't find food, it's useless to persuade anyone!

"Very edible? Don't worry, this is not a problem at all!"

"I'll let the tax collector build pastures and buy livestock. Anyway, what we have now is gold, so it must be easy to afford them!"

Arturia didn't care about the other party's habit of being able to eat.

Such a good kind of air mounts cannot carry knights to fly and fight, and they even have powerful strength and combat capabilities. For things like this, Arturia, even if she sells iron, even if she changes her three meals a day back to Only eat two meals a day, that is to ensure that they are kept!

Now, she is already imagining...

When confronting the enemy, before the two sides lined up and fought, her Griffin Knights took the lead in launching powerful spears or other attacks on the enemy's formation from the air... Then, when the enemy began to be confused, the morale became weaker. When she was down, or when she was about to flee, did her ground troops swarm up and clean up the mess directly and easily?

"Whatever you want, I'm going to eat something now... Fortunately, they appeared early, if I'm hungry, I have to roast them!"

"What do you look at, you are so big, if you really want to eat, it must eat you first!"

When bouncing into the castle, a griffin lying on the side of the road raised its head and glanced at Anne as if complaining, but it was quickly caught by Annie with Tibbers in her hand. The opponent was slapped hard on the head, and the opponent was whimpered and shrunk back to the other side.

It's just a big useless bird, their leaders have been tidied up by her, but it dares to come out and stare?

"etc!"

"Annie, what on earth should I do with them now?"

Seeing that the other party was about to leave, Artoria looked at the large group of griffins in front of her, but she was a little bit troubled. After all, she was good at feeding horses and so on. Back then, she would feed her foster brother Kai She has been working on horses for ten years, and she is very good at cutting grass, brushing the horse's back, walking the horse and so on!

But like now, like these big guys in front of us, how should they arrange and manipulate them properly? If you still use the method of dealing with war horses, then it must not be feasible, right? Because these big guys are more like a group of eagles than flying horses!

"Either find a place to raise them first, or kill them all for meat!"

Raising her hand casually behind her, Annie ignored the smelly flat-haired beasts outside and ran directly into the castle.

She doesn't like riding those griffins...

Because they are covered with fur, they must not take a bath at ordinary times. The strange fishy smell on their bodies is very strong, and it always smells very disgusting... Moreover, with sharp eyes, she also found that inside the feathers, there seemed to be Got some tiny, nasty lice?

Anyway, she would rather summon her own fire hawk than ride those living flying objects, they are so dirty!

"Okay, I know……"

It is impossible to eat, Arturia thinks that it is impossible to eat this kind of magical creature in this life. Now, she should have nothing good except to find a place to feed it properly. There is a way!

She vaguely remembered that in the north of Camelot City, there seemed to be a small castle fortress that had been vacated?

Because there are very few active-duty soldiers in Camelot, and they are basically stationed directly in the city, so the fortress guarding Camelot outside has been vacant, as if there are only a few soldiers guarding the gate there. that's all...

In that case, it's better to just make room for it, expand and remove the windows of that castle, and then let them live in the castle fortress that can shelter from wind and rain, as long as they are ordered not to harass the villagers and Attacking the livestock, and then giving them some food regularly every day, it must be settled properly, right?

Even, she might even transfer the guarding soldiers away!

After all, there are such ferocious large griffin creatures living in it, not to mention those small thieves, even ten times the number of enemy troops, they may not dare to approach them easily, right?

"Oh! What a pity..."

"Tibbers, we should have secretly left one for roasting and eating just now! Whether it's in the world of Azeroth or here, I don't think I've ever eaten a griffin!"

On the way to the restaurant, Annie suddenly said with regret. She forgot about this matter just now when she was in a hurry, but now that she thinks about it, it is really a pity.

Because, it seems a little bad to catch it, bake it or cook it now?

(Dear little master, those griffins, they have eaten people, they are man-eating animals, can their meat still be eaten?

('???)?

——If it's Tibbers himself, it doesn't matter, even if he can swallow the flesh, bones and soul together, but for humans, it shouldn't be good to do so, right? )

"why not?"

(Because they ate people...)

"Tibbers, it's not that you don't know that the entire planet is a closed cycle. Maybe, the water, constituent elements, etc. in the meals that everyone eats have circulated in the bodies of countless dead people. ?”

(o′ω`o)?

As a powerful and knowledgeable arcane mage, Annie knows a lot about magic and science, so it is not too difficult for her to understand .

(…)

(●｀?(?)?′●)! ?

(That... little master, you seem to be going to eat, but now that you are talking about this kind of thing, don't you feel sick or uncomfortable?

——Tibbers is a little confused again. Its little master is usually so clean, but now he looks heartless when talking about these things. Could it be that he will not be affected at all? )

"Cycle! Whether it is magic or other energies and substances, circulation is their essence and what is going on! And this is also the true meaning of life. Why should I be disgusted?"

"Tibbers, you are really strange!"

"Didn't you look at the animal world when you were on Earth? In nature, everything from lions, tigers and crocodiles to insects, bacteria and nasty microbes, they are all 'you eat me, I eat you'... ...Isn't this just a normal thing?"

╮(￣▽￣)╭

The meaning of life and the cycle of matter, etc., are very profound and interesting things. It is enough to understand this matter, and she will not take it seriously! If something delicious is put in front of her, she can eat it happily!

As for how they came from and where their composition appeared, she wouldn't care about it! Just like the farmer uncles and aunts outside who learned the farming methods from Rome, they all use poop to compost, so why don’t they eat it?

(That's up to you...)

(●￣(?)￣●)

(But there is one more thing... Little master, don’t you think that the Griffon Knight has been out of date for countless years? I think you should use machine guns, cannons, planes, missiles, and those multi-turret creations of the gods Go arm those soldiers! Chug Chuk, just push it over!

——Under boredom, Tibbers began to slander. It felt that it didn't seem to have many chances to appear here, so it pushed hard, intending to let its little master push the world quickly? )

"Huh?"

"Little bear! Don't you want face anymore, are you going to bully other earth natives on this planet? People are still in the post-Roman era, iron and bronze are mixed, and even the magic has not begun to disappear. How dare you Is it about to enter the age of steam?"

(‘???`)

With both hands, she raised the little bear she was carrying to her front and back, and Annie asked it curiously as she continued to walk forward.

(no more!)

"Then why?"

(Because the small body is a shadow bear, it has never had a face, no skin, let alone such a strange thing as a face!

——That's right, Master Tibbers is a shadow creature, similar to an elemental creature. If the appearance of this enchanted bearskin toy is removed, it is indeed almost that kind of translucent shadow energy aggregate, with a cheeky face That kind of thing is meaningless to it. )

"..."

"Tibbers, I seem to understand a little bit..."

"You should mean to say: I am the one who has face but is shameless, right?!"

In the blink of an eye, Annie seemed to have grasped some cryptic implication of a certain villainous bear, so black energy began to gather in the back of her head, and the daily blow to the bear was on its way.

(No! You are overthinking, little master, I didn’t mean that at all just now!!!)

(Wait, don't do it first, little confession: yes, it's the little one who has no face, the little shameless... This really has nothing to do with whether you have any face, or whether you want to be shameless... ...)

"..."

Boom! !

"But now I want to beat you more and more!"

(resistance, protest...)

"Protest is useless! Wake up, you nasty bad guy!"

Boom!

o(╬￣dish￣)==O))?ˉ?ˉ?)

—————

"Archbishop, are you finally back?"

Having just returned to the cathedral in the west of Camelot, Archbishop Patrick, who was about to open the door to enter his room, ran into a nun in his church. When he saw her salute and greet him, he had no choice but to He stopped the plan to go in, and turned to slightly nodded to the other party.

"Yes, now those man-eating monsters outside have been subdued and taken away. When you go out in the future, you don't have to worry as much as you did these two days."

Seeing the questioning look in the other party's eyes, Patrick, who knew what the nun really wanted to know, smiled and said this.

In the past two days, the incidents of those man-eating monsters outside have caused a lot of noise, causing the nearby residents and farmers, including the priests in their church, not to dare to appear in the wilderness casually, for fear that they will suddenly pounce on them from the sky. Be a ferocious man-eater and capture them and eat them!

"Really?"

"That's really great, then, that archbishop, you are busy now, I am going to tell other people the good news!"

After finishing speaking, the nun quickly turned around and walked quickly to other places in the corridor.

Since she was the first to know the information about those man-eating monsters, she must tell other priests and nuns. They no longer have to stay in the church or the church area all day to avoid danger.

"Wait first!"

"My room... Has someone from you cleaned it today?"

I don't know why, but Padraic could faintly smell the scent of fragrance wafting from the open wooden door of his room? Therefore, under suspicion, he thought that a nun had cleaned it for him.

"It doesn't seem to be there yet. We clean it on a fixed few days every month...Why, archbishop, do you need me to arrange for people to do the cleaning now?"

Although she didn't know why the archbishop asked such a question, the nun still answered seriously.

"..."

"Well...it's not necessary, you go down first, I want to rest for a while."

Frowning and thinking for a while, Patrick still shook his head, then waved him to leave first.

"..."

Squeak - click!

Pushing open the door and entering, after confirming that there was a fresh smell that did not belong to him or anyone in the church, Patrick closed the door gently, then clasped his hands together, and continued to go inside Go, but just stand behind the wooden door.

"I'm Bishop Patrick of Camelot Cathedral. I don't know which lost lamb came to the residence of this old man like me?"

"If you want to get money, I'm afraid you will be disappointed..."

"I don't have a single Ori (gold coin) in my box, only two Dinars (silver coins) and eight Ass... Moreover, they were deposited last year..."

Feeling that his house really smelled like a stranger, Patrick slowly scanned every corner of the room with his cloudy eyes, and spoke slowly.

That fresh and natural smell, like the scent of plants and flowers in the forest, must be brought by something on the stranger's body... Anyway, that smell should definitely not belong to their church! However, after he glanced around twice, it seemed that there was really no one in the room except himself?

However, the smell is still very strong, and there is a warm feeling, it doesn't seem to be left after leaving... So, he thinks, a certain guy must still be hiding here...

Maybe, under the bed?

"Ah!"

"Padrak, you are still so alert!"

At this time, when Padrik couldn't help but wanted to make some moves, finally, a slightly familiar voice sounded in the room, and then, a man who was sitting on his chair and was wearing a cloak People, in this dim room, the figures whose faces were not clearly visible began to gradually appear.

"..."

"It's you, you are Merlin? That's right, besides you, which wizard would dare to come to me, a servant of God?"

Staring at the figure who happened to be sitting in front of his table leisurely for a while, until it slightly matched an existence in his impression, Padrik nodded in understanding, and relaxed. In one breath, it can be regarded as confirming the identity and existence of the other party.

As long as it wasn't someone who came to steal or make trouble, then it would be fine. Merlin and him should still be considered acquaintances, and they wouldn't come here to do him any harm.

"Okay, put away that magical technique in your hand, you should know, it has no effect on my existence!"

"Padrik, although our relationship has not been very good, it is not so bad that we will fight when we meet, right?"

Hiding in the darkness and the cloak, Merlin, who prevented the other party from seeing his face clearly, taunted Padraic, whose hands were clasped together to guard against him, and signaled the other party not to put on a show in front of him to play that little trick. .

After all, he, Merlin, is also a legendary great magician. If he can't even deal with a priest of the church, then he has lost his famous name in vain.

"If you would come to visit me formally, instead of sneaking into my room, I would certainly not be on my guard."

"After so many years, your bad character is still not so likable!"

Shaking his head, after dispelling the defensive spirit in his hands, Patrick walked tremblingly to the window, pushed open the closed wooden window, intending to make the air in the room a little more natural, It won't be filled with the strange smell that inadvertently emanates from the other party's body.

I don't know why, but Patrick always feels that the Merlin today seems to be a bit different from his impression? However, he couldn't tell what was different... Anyway, it just made him feel very twisted.

This feeling is very strange and weird. You know, they have known each other for many years. Although they don't meet too many times, they only meet a few times a year... It's weird and mysterious, and of course it's a bit different from him, a clergyman who needs to show his face every day to educate the herdsmen, but it's not as weird as it is today.

Anyway, he felt that there must be something wrong today, what exactly is it...

"Your Excellency Merlin!"

"Why did you show up now? I even thought that you had already been burned to death by that little witch named Annie. What a pity. I wanted to give you a confession!"

A few days ago, when there was turmoil in Camelot, the former court mage of Camelot never showed up, so he just let that Artoria and that little witch mess around and mess up the place. It made people panic and smoky... At the beginning, Patrick really thought that some kind of accident happened to Merlin, otherwise, how could the other party's position of court mage be snatched by a little girl?

"..."

"Why, Padraic, I hear your tone... You are surprised that I was not burned to death by that guy?!"

Merlin didn't say why he just appeared now, but stared at the archbishop standing in front of the window and looking out of the church with his eyes in the dark with some displeasure.

"No, on the contrary, you were not burned to death, that's normal, isn't it, Mr. Merlin?"

"..."

"Forget it, Patrick, don't mention the differences and conflicts between us caused by our different beliefs. It's been so many years, and we can be considered old friends."

"Now, let's talk about something else."

Merlin heard the implication that the other party deliberately called him a wizard instead of a magician. Obviously, the other party was still somewhat dissatisfied with him? However, he doesn't want to be too entangled with these things now, because he has more important things to do, and he didn't come here to talk about these things with this guy.

"All right……"

"Merlin, I've always wanted to ask you...that little girl, the one named Annie, what is her identity and where did she come from? Also, her strength can even beat you away straight away. of?"

That Artoria Pendragon, or Arthur Pendragon, Padraic already knew about the identity of the sword in the stone, "drawing the sword to choose the king", or this Merlin I entrusted myself to host and create momentum, but the result...

Forget it, it doesn't matter if we don't mention those bad things now, it's not his fault anyway!

However, he was very puzzled by the little girl who appeared out of nowhere, that little witch named Anne Hastur!

The other party seems to have never appeared in Camelot, and has never heard of having any contact with that Arturia or Sir Hector's family... Then, why did she suddenly appear and interfere' King Arthur' thing, and made it all the way it is now? He has always wanted to know about these things!

Well, he seems to be missing something...

Anyway, it's not easy for him to judge what happened during the chaotic period before, but for now, it seems that the two little girls have done a good job, not only put down all the rebellion in Camelot, but also implemented a A series of policies that benefit farmers and promote business, as well as tax cuts and large-scale construction, have made Camelot miraculously slowly regain its vitality, and there is a trend of getting better and better?

So, strictly speaking, it seems that things are not too bad?

"..."

However, for this question, Merlin didn't answer right away, his face hidden in the hood was slightly lowered, and he should be thinking about how to answer the question raised by Patrick.

"Unfortunately, I don't know..."

"You may not believe it, I have never met the other party, and I have never even heard of him!"

"However, according to my contact and fighting with her at that time, as well as my observations during this period, the opponent's strength is very, very strong... Even if she doesn't show much, most of the time, she is also very strong. It's like playing around..."

"But, with all due respect, even those gods who appeared in the Age of Gods, I'm afraid that's the way it is?"

Finally, after Archbishop Patrick got a little impatient, Merlin quietly said what he knew.

Think about the opponent's performance when he was fighting with himself, isn't he just messing around all the time?

Fortunately, Merlin, the legendary magician and sword master of Britain, went all out, but he couldn't force the other party to attack with all his strength or take it seriously... Even if the other party had already thrown the very ferocious flaming bear, Probably like some aristocrats with a bad personality, just want to get the kind of sick pleasure or pastime when hounds chase their prey?

That nasty brat...

Now, think about the person who set fire to the endless sea of ​​​​purgatory in his phantom of Avalon in his utopia, but he himself was unscathed in the flames, and he could even direct the hell with a cheerful evil smile. The giant flaming bear that couldn't be killed was chasing and killing him... Merlin couldn't help but shudder when he thought of the evil little girl who disappeared in the flames!

He even thought, could the other party be some demon god in the Burning Hell?

Otherwise, how could it be possible to be unscathed in that level of flames without any protection? On the other hand, Merlin himself, after being burned for a while, he couldn't hold on and ran away first.

"God?!"

"Hmph! Stupid opinion!"

"Except for God, except for Christ, except for the Virgin Mary, the other false gods have long since disappeared or fled. This world can no longer accommodate them!"

Hearing that Merlin actually referred to the little girl who knows a little magic and is unscrupulous as a god, Archbishop Patrick turned from the window on the spot and stared at the other party with piercing eyes, and refuted loudly.

He just had a close encounter with that little girl today, and she was just a little witch with great power! As for her temperament, she is probably just a eccentric and reckless little girl, how can she look like a god at all?

Even the gods of other pagans, even those gods of polytheism, I'm afraid none of them are like that kid, right?

He Patrick firmly believed: that little girl is actually just a child with great power, that's all, nothing else!

In short, apart from the holiness of their church, he will never accept any existence that can be called 'God'! Even if there are, they are all false gods, there is absolutely no other possibility, and he will never compromise on this point!

"..."

"Padrik, please don't be so nervous. I'm not here today to argue with you about these issues. Does she have anything to do with you and me?"

"I'm just a mage, and I never believed in what your church said."

Glancing at the other party faintly, Merlin sighed helplessly, he just sighed a little, why did this old enemy suddenly become so excited?

"Merlin, the kind of thinking you just said is very dangerous, and it is blasphemy to our church!"

"Although that little girl is indeed very strong, and she also captured a large group of powerful Griffins that only existed in mythology today, but that can only explain the strength of the other party, not other more things."

Patrick reiterated this matter again in a low voice, trying to cover up some uneasy thoughts in his heart.

In any case, even those griffins and those griffins are the mounts of the gods in the legend... However, this does not mean that the little girl will be a living god! If it were Merlin, he would definitely be able to catch those griffins. Does that mean that Merlin is a god?

This guy who hides his head and shows his tail and breaks into other people's bedrooms is nothing more than a heretic, an unbeliever, and an evil wizard, that's all!

"You said those griffins... yes, I saw it too..."

Originally, Merlin had thought about helping the people of Camelot drive away those griffins, drive all their phantom species to remote mountains and old forests, or drive them to the big 'emerald' island west of the British Sea ...Because the land is vast and sparsely populated, and there are rich products, whether it is forests, grasslands or wild animals, it must be suitable for the survival of those fantasy species.

But who would have thought that that little girl, as soon as the other party made a move, would catch all those invading fantasy species in one go! Even, to subdue those guys who are almost impossible to be tamed by mortals?

Even Merlin admired this method!

The archbishop in front of me, this stubborn old enemy, may not understand the matters of magicians, but, as a legendary great magician, Merlin himself can often see the big things from the small, and speculate from the subtleties inadvertently. The opponent's approximate strength.

It was also because of this that he had such unrealistic thoughts and emotions just now.

"Forget it! Let's not talk about these things for now!"

"Padrak, it's like this. The reason why I came to you secretly today is actually to ask you to do me a small favor."

After forgetting the things that happened before in his mind, especially the scene where the little girl captured dozens of griffins and enslaved them, and then rode them and flew away cheering, Merlin slowly looked at the still A little bit very upset with the church archbishop.

He didn't intend to chat too much with the other party, so he directly cut to the topic when he was ready, telling his real purpose of coming here today, so that he can arrange his next action plan, which is very important.

"Please tell me! Your Excellency Merlin!"

"It's just that I don't guarantee that I will be able to help you."

After taking a deep look at the other party and thinking carefully for a while, Patrick nodded slowly and said.

Even Merlin needs to ask for his help, so it will definitely not be a trivial matter! Therefore, Padraic did not directly boast that he would definitely help the other party, but was prepared to refuse.

"I've always thought that it's too dangerous for that little girl to stay by Artoria's side!"

"So, I hope that I can obtain a new identity from you, and then get close to Artoria, the queen who is about to be crowned in Camelot! I'm afraid you understand how much I have devoted to her... So, whether it's for Uther or others, I definitely won't ignore her! I don't want her to be led to destruction by that little witch..."

"Some things are predestined by fate... If you struggle and resist rashly, it will be futile."

As if he was afraid that the other party would not be able to hear clearly, Merlin, who was still sitting on the chair, slowly expressed his thoughts and purpose in this quiet bedroom word by word.

In any case, Arturia is the brainchild of himself and King Uther, and it is a daughter-like existence that he has personally taught for ten years. He will never allow that little girl to take her with her in the card Melo is doing something wrong here!

Of course, he also had to guard against that bastard named Morgan! Anyway, Merlin always felt that the appearance of that little witch named Annie was absolutely inseparable from that Morgan!

"So that's it, I think I understand..."

"But, Master Merlin, what do you want me to do? Please forgive me, you have seen that little girl's ability, even if I can give you a new identity, but I don't think your spells can deceive past the other party?"

Thinking of this, Patrick shook his head regretfully after frowning for a while.

It's not that he doesn't want to help with this matter, but that there is no possibility of it being realized at all! Identity or something, this matter is very simple. Anyway, he is the archbishop of the Camelot Diocese Church. He uses his power for personal gain and arranges an identity for the other party who can get in touch with the Queen of Camelot. Then there is no problem at all!

But, this Merlin, the other party has never beaten that little girl in a fight, so how can he be confident that he can deceive the other party? At that time, if he is accidentally exposed and implicates the church and his archbishop, then he will have no place to cry when he regrets it!

As an old friend, he can help the other party to a limited extent without infringing on the interests of the church, but the current situation is obviously not conducive to the development of the church!

Therefore, in this matter, Padraic really has more than enough energy, not because he doesn't want to help, but because he dare not help...

Why would he choose to do such a troublesome thing that has no benefit, but may only cause harm, and has a high chance of failure? It doesn't matter if he sacrifices his own interests, but...sacrificing the interests of the church and hindering the development of the church is absolutely not allowed.

"Of course I know, and I'm also prepared!"

Merlin tried it just now, and the treasure he found to disguise the breath and even the soul fluctuation seems to be very useful. Just now, he was not far from the scene where the other party captured the griffin, and he also firmly believed that the other party's perception must have sensed him. , but there is no response!

This seems to be enough to show that he has already deceived the other party? Therefore, Merlin made up his mind now!

As long as the other party doesn't come to examine him specially, the identity he wants to pretend will never be revealed! However, who would check a stranger vigorously for no reason as soon as they meet?

"If it's Merlin's identity, then it's probably not allowed, but... what if it's Meilin?!"

At this moment, Merlin, who had been sitting on the chair, stood up suddenly, and then walked not far from the archbishop. When the light from the window clearly shone on her, she gently took off the ashes on her head. The brown cloak revealed a beautiful girl with long silver hair, blue eyes, and a beautiful and delicate face that was not like a mortal.

"His Excellency Archbishop Patrick, the nun of the Roman Church, Mellie Ambrosius, by order of the Pope, I am here to report to you in the Camelot Kingdom of Britain!"

Merlin's thick male voice turned into a clear and pleasant female voice in an instant, and then, a handsome smiling face appeared just a few steps away from Archbishop Patrick who was once again stunned.

That's right, 'he' Merlin has already arranged everything! A small matter like directly giving yourself a reasonable identity will not bother the other party too much at all, and it is very simple to do, isn't it?

Now, as long as the other party recognizes her as a nun from the Holy Temple of the Roman Church and publicizes her existence to the outside world, then she can solve the rest by herself.

For example, slowly getting in touch with Artoria, gaining the trust of the other party little by little, and then gradually guiding and influencing the other party's thinking, so that it won't deviate too much from what he expected?

"Wait! I seem to be confused by you..."

"Merlin...or Your Excellency Meili...is your real identity male or female?!"

This question, Padraic is eager to solve now??
