"The probability is highest within the Eternal Kingdom."

Chapter 1222 The Non-Existent Merlin

Blaze was wondering whether to tell Morgan and Lancelot that he had discovered the culprit for the broken Sword in the Stone and the lost scabbard.

Although it was just speculation, Blazer felt that this was most likely the work of Theresa's backup, the Pope.

The Eternal King and the Eternal Kingdom, who aim to end the chaos in the top world, will undoubtedly hinder Theresa's plan to collect faith energy.

The last known entity to have stood in Theresa's way was the Ancient Giant Kingdom, which ended up losing part of its territory in the upheaval caused by Theresa.

The Eternal King, who would also hinder Theresa, was much more famous than the Ancient Giant Kingdom. The legend of the Sword in the Stone was so famous that some ambitious people in the entire Top World had tried to pull out the Sword in the Stone.

And based on Teresa's confession, except for the lack of definite evidence, it can basically be confirmed that the Pope is the shadow of several stains in the life of the Eternal King.

Perhaps, the reason why the Eternal Kingdom was not destroyed by such a simple and brutal method as turning the world upside down was because the Pope found the wreckage of the Ark within the territory of the Eternal Kingdom.

After a mental struggle, Blaze honestly told Lancelot about this matter. It was too torturous to hide such a thing.

Fortunately, Lancelot only gripped the sledgehammer and did not do anything extreme.

"I know better than anyone that the Eternal King's heart had changed long before the sword in the stone was broken and the scabbard was lost. If I vent my anger on this lady, I am truly not looking at the Eternal King squarely, but..."

Lancelot frowned and paced back and forth, as if recalling some old memories.

"You want to find something big, something big in the territory of the Eternal Kingdom..." Lancelot paused and said hesitantly.

"I'm not sure if this is a clue that can help you, but perhaps you should go look for Archmage Merlin."

"He's appeared, a classic character." Blaze was a little excited. This was the most important character in the story of the Eternal King, and it could even be said that this was the character who started the legendary story of the Eternal King.

In many stories, the great wizard Merlin is portrayed as an old man with a white beard. Of course, there are also many stories that glorify Merlin as a young man. There are even rumors that Merlin is not a human being, but some kind of being similar to a fairy in the lake.

As the oldest bards, the elves naturally have ballads about the Eternal Kingdom, but they prefer to talk about the Eternal King's chaotic relationships with women, and only hum a few words perfunctorily about the Archmage Merlin.

Now we can finally get a glimpse of the true face of the great wizard Merlin from the mouth of the person involved.

"So what is this great wizard Merlin like?"

"That is a non-existent person." Morgan's voice came from behind. Her voice was very cold. Her hair had turned back to silver white, and the Sword in the Stone hanging at her waist proved that she had switched to the personality of the Everqueen.

Herbie followed behind, she grabbed Blaze's hand, stood on tiptoe and whispered in Blaze's ear.

"I told her what might happen in the Eternal Kingdom, but halfway through, she suddenly summoned a sword, and when she pulled it out, she turned into this."

Morgan had sharp ears and heard the whispers between Herbie and Blaze.

She knew that it was strange to suddenly summon the Sword in the Stone and then pull it out, but she really needed the [Calm S], [Indifference S], and [Cold-Blooded S] she gained after regaining her strength. Without these three skills, she might faint with her eyes rolled back at Herbie's terrible prophecy.

Right now, she needed to change the subject to calm herself down rather than strengthen her mental skills.

"Archmage Merlin is a non-existent person." Morgan crossed his arms, a cold look on his pale face.

Blaze could understand the coldness in Morgan's words and expression when he talked about the great wizard Merlin.

The Excalibur is just a sword with the words "Whoever pulls out this sword will become a king" engraved on a pedestal. The reason why the above words are not taken as a joke is because it has the support of this great wizard.

After the Everlasting King drew out the sword, the great wizard Merlin became the Everlasting King's court magician, assisting the Everlasting King in governing the country. After the Sword in the Stone was broken, he found the second sword for the Everlasting King - the Sword of Broken Steel.

Basically, everything the Archmage Merlin did was against Morgan. It would be strange if Morgan had a good face when he mentioned the Archmage Merlin.

"He didn't go there. Even if I used all the mysteries of magic, I couldn't find out."

"He has no present either. He is like he has no body. He has not left any footprints on the earth. He is like a dream in Camelot."

"His ending was also non-existence. I no longer remember whether he disappeared at the moment when the Eternal King decided to go looking for the Holy Grail, or he left when the Eternal King lost his scabbard. He just disappeared like that."

"And the only trace of his existence is in the story of the Eternal King."

Blaze's gaze slowly fell on Theresa not far away. He now suspected that Archmage Merlin might be one of Theresa's backups.

The only power that could not even find traces of a being like Morgan could be from the Age of Gods.

The humans of the Age of Gods were completely abandoned by the gods. They were not even able to learn any magic, so the power called "Science" that was born was completely independent.

But this possibility... is not great. Whether it is Theresa or the Pope, their direction of progress and even their destination are different, but their starting point is the same, and they will not conflict with each other.

Moreover, the appearance of the Archmage Merlin should have occurred before the Pope noticed the Eternal Kingdom. After all, before the Eternal King unified the entire Third Kingdom region, it was in chaos and not threatening at all.

"Doesn't Archmage Merlin have any other characteristics?"

"He is very mysterious and his whereabouts are strange, but even I have to admit one thing about him: he helped the Eternal King capture dozens of cities without bloodshed."

"I know that, too." Lancelot echoed Morgan, and said with admiration and yearning, "He only took fruits and a little money, but a few weeks later he not only brought back a large amount of wealth, but also the loyalty of many city-states and kingdoms!"

"Really?" Blazer frowned. This didn't seem to be similar to Theresa. Theresa's operation on the Holy Cross Theocracy was simple and crude. She wouldn't use such a roundabout and time-consuming method.

"Tell me more about the giant buildings related to Merlin."

Chapter 1223: Survivors of the Age of Gods

There are many rumors about the ending of the great wizard Merlin, the most famous of which is being trapped in a tower.

But whether the tower really exists or not, just like no one ever saw Merlin leave, no one has really seen it.

The only record of the tower appeared in the words of the archmage Merlin.

In Lancelot's description, the great wizard Merlin occasionally mentioned that he escaped from an extremely huge tower.

He claims that he cannot save the world, but he can help others save the world, so he is waiting for someone who can pull out the sword in the stone.

Unfortunately, the Eternal King disappointed the Archmage Merlin, and the Archmage Merlin disappeared quietly.

"Perhaps he returned disappointed to the tower from which he came."

Lancelot was very sorry, because the great wizard Merlin came and went without a trace and always appeared when people needed him, so when the great wizard Merlin disappeared for a long time, no one noticed.

Perhaps only the Eternal King knows when the Archmage Merlin left in disappointment.

Blaze found Theresa thoughtfully and told her about Merlin.

"Tower... Do you think the tower where Merlin is is the remains of the Ark? Merlin is actually a remnant of the Age of Gods, or a survivor."

"He calls himself 'someone who can't save the world'. This statement is very unique." Theresa touched her chin with a complicated expression.

"You should know that the Age of Gods is divided into the war faction and the escape faction."

"Well, you are a war advocate."

“Although the names sound like two completely hostile factions, we are all warriors fighting together to continue the civilization of the Age of Gods. We just have different ways of fighting.” Theresa moved her lips, frowned slightly, and had a complicated expression.

"In fact, those with better physical abilities and higher combat qualities can become the main combatants and fight to the death with the Titans. Those with poor physical conditions and little combat experience are the escapees. They are smarter and are the future of the Age of Gods."

"The only conflict between the two factions is, 'Why can't we stay and fight? We also want to save the world.' Those who are chosen and qualified to board the 'Ark' and head to their new homeland mock themselves as 'people who can't save the world.'"

"Yeah……"

There was an incredible heaviness in Theresa's words. He could imagine the reluctance of those who wanted to stay but were pushed into the Ark. He could also imagine the despair of the war faction when the future that had finally risen was shattered before their eyes by the evil Titan.

It was like a drifting leaf, slowly burning out in their eyes, with no hope at all.

"That means those refugees are not good at fighting. How can they survive in their new home? Excuse me, but Adam of the Destroyer Planet... doesn't look like a suitable place to live."

"Of course, the Ark is equipped with AI that can assist in combat." Theresa did not delve deeper into this topic, and got to the point in one sentence.

"This Archmage Merlin may be a survivor on the Ark. That half of the Ark is where the main engine is located. If the AI ​​continues to execute orders and uses all its energy for the life support system... it will not be a problem for it to support itself for thousands of years."

"If this is true, it's really good news."

Theresa opened her hands, letting the wind flow through her fingers and ruffle her blonde hair.

The purpose was not to require the survivor to do anything, but to let him take a look at the world, to see a world without gods looming over their heads and with real stars in the sky.

"Although we have confirmed that the remains of the Ark are in the Eternal Kingdom, it is only a rough range after all. We don't know when we will find it. I think we should first find the Pope's database and access his activity records."

"Do you have any clues now?"

"There are several possible locations..." Theresa looked around. The people around her seemed to be busy with their own things, but it was obvious that their attention was here.

"I will try to eliminate the wrong options, which will take some time. You don't have to push yourself so hard, relax a little, even if the sky falls, we have to have some time to breathe."

"This……"

Blazer hesitated. Theresa was right. Some fatigue accumulated in invisible corners. It might not seem like a big deal now, but it might turn into a disease one day in the future.

Not to mention that this exhaustion is psychological.

"Okay, then you try to narrow down the locations of the Pope's database to just two options. I'll take a break while you're sifting."

Seeing that Blazer, the restless young man, finally gave in, Theresa also breathed a sigh of relief. Of course, she did not expect Blazer to stay there quietly and lazily all day long. He would definitely find something to do.

But it's better than keeping your head up all the time and being alert to any major crisis.

Although the man in front of me has a tall back, he is actually just walking far away and looks tall only from his shadow. He is still very young.

Blaze was indeed as Theresa thought, he was busy as always, so he turned around and found Chiron and told him about the destruction of "Ares' Howl".

As expected, Chiron's face was deformed in several sections, which meant shock, and the blazing flames spewing from his facial features meant anger.

I have to say that Chiron has acquired many inexplicable functions since he was born with a soul.

Originally, Blaze thought that Chiron was angry because the God-killing Armor was damaged, but Chiron was angry at the "Ares Howl" itself.

As a weapon, especially a weapon used in the final battle, it was destroyed before its owner fell.

It would have been fine if it had protected its master until the last moment, as the master could still fight. However, it broke into two pieces, leaving the master to face danger unarmed. This was a great dereliction of duty.

"That's too much to ask. Its opponent is this Broken Steel Sword." Seeing that Chiron was about to take [Ares' Howl] and step on it, Blaze hurried to comfort him and held the Broken Steel Sword in front of Chiron.

“It tried its best.”

"Blaze, you don't understand the meaning of it. It is a fang forged to kill gods. It is even the main weapon in the whole set of equipment, and its breakage means the failure of the war faction." Chiron shook his head. He felt a little uncomfortable when he saw the broken steel sword in Blaze's hand.

The ultimate technology of the scholars of the Age of Gods was defeated by supernatural forces.

This is an indescribable emotion, the feeling of being eliminated. He feels unwilling and helpless.

Chapter 1224 Crushing Kick

Blaze has always been worried that Chiron would be angry and blame him after knowing that the "Howl of Ares" was destroyed, but now he is worried about another thing, that is, Chiron and Broken Steel are angry with each other.

I don't know how many weapons of the Age of Gods' technology were easily cut in half by the Broken Steel Sword, and Chiron took out another one, intending to continue chopping.

"Teacher, you don't have to be so persistent."

Blaze was on pins and needles, his profession as a blacksmith made him particularly sensitive to weapons. Even though the craftsmanship of weapons from the Age of Gods was different from traditional forging techniques, he began to feel distressed to see so many weapons being chopped into two pieces and scattered all over the ground.

Of course, he was more afraid that Chiron, who had a soul, would be as angry as Red Wen as a human, and then use his body to test the sharpness of the Broken Steel Sword.

Fortunately, Chiron installed a forced cooling device on himself, and when he really raised his fist, he felt cold all over his body.

"Why don't we review our punches and kicks while we talk about Kamijou?"

Blaze carefully sent a review request to Chiron. After pausing for a few seconds, Chiron accepted the request neatly and launched the attack, considering his duties as a nurturing robot took precedence over those small emotions.

The two of them fought each other with the basic moves of [Pankrasin], with slow movements. Blaze's solid basic skills made Chiron smile with satisfaction, and then he suddenly sped up and the attack became dazzling.

"Speaking of which, teacher, are you a war faction or an escape faction?" Blaze calmly took Chiron's fist that suddenly accelerated like a prank.

In the past, whenever he blinked, his vision would disappear at that moment, which would be taken advantage of by Chiron. But now that he has [Blind Eyes], he no longer has this flaw.

If you keep your eyes closed, the effect will definitely be the best, but Blazer does not intend to rely on this convenient power. Only by practicing honestly can you achieve steady results.

"I'm a robot, so I don't have this kind of thinking. But from a standpoint, I'm on the main side of the fight, but there was a slight error in the middle."

Chiron kicked Blaze in the head, and Blaze's ears moved, hearing a small deformation sound coming from Chiron's legs.

Blaze suddenly stopped and leaned forward to dodge. In an instant, a light blade popped out from the Chiron's leg and brushed against some of Blaze's silver hair.

However, the light blade was not a high-energy weapon, but a dyed light, which turned Blaze's hair red, proving that Blaze was hit.

“This is too despicable!”

"Really? I see that all those foreigners who volunteered to be transformed into cyborgs do this."

Chiron often helps Theresa transform strangers. To be honest, Theresa is almost exhausted. Transformation cannot be done on an assembly line. Each one must be done by hand to be perfectly matched.

While they were almost exhausted, the strangers also proposed many novel settings that opened their eyes. They also had some insights on large robots.

The light blades that pop out from the legs during a kick are just the most insignificant part.

Of course, the most essential thing I learned from the stranger is to continue talking about important things even when the enemy is angrily accusing me of being despicable.
