What Vortigern did back then inspired almost everyone's inner thoughts. In this era when the Roman Empire was increasingly weakening, as long as you were strong enough, you were not unqualified to do something.

Just like the kings nowadays, most of them are still pretending to obey Futigeng but secretly accumulating enough strength, just waiting for a good opportunity to come out and get a share of the pie.

"Indeed, as long as you say this, I can already imagine the bloody storm in the future. I don't even need to think too much to understand what those people desire in their hearts."

Davian placed his hand on the hilt of the Dark Sword and suppressed the murderous aura surging in his heart.

He looked at Tonelico, at the gorgeous blond hair and beautiful face. Finally, he said:

"Let's go, let's keep moving forward. There are still many things to do. Let's leave the future for the future. Let's first do what we should do now."

At this moment, in the palace of Lontinium, Vortigern looked at the faces of two people extracted through magic.

The expression on his face was quite colorful at this moment, because this matter was beyond his imagination and he didn't know how to deal with it.

I always feel that this matter will turn into a lot of fun even if he doesn't take any action.

No. 5 and Lisut, who were still kneeling down on one knee, didn't want to talk now. When they saw Vortigern's expression just now, they felt that something was not quite right.

"In the final analysis, I am afraid of him, but that guy is full of hatred. Merlin only knows how to do bad things.

Lisut, just let your men continue to follow. There is no need to take action now.

No matter how sharp a sword is, if the person holding the sword has other intentions, it is hard to say how powerful the sword will be.

I want to see how she plans to deal with this person."

"Yes!"

Chapter 17 Messenger

Finally, after a long journey, they arrived at the city where King Nantes lived in Garod.

In this city, Davian saw a vitality and enthusiasm that was different from that of Lontinium.

People are running here for life and for the future.

This was just like the person Davian knew, without the dark pressure from Vortigern in Londinium. People here obviously have a much better life.

"Come on, come with me to submit the documents for the interview. Although you and I are both here to confirm what we think, please don't speak carelessly. Even if King Nantes is not a friend, it is at least better than becoming an absolute enemy."

Before the meeting between the two sides began, Tonelli made it clear to Davian. He came here to seek an ally to fight against Vortigern in the future, so he should not push the other party to the enemy side before he knew his intentions.

Davian nodded to show that he understood. Of course, he would not mess up the matter so impulsively. He is here to do something, not to cause trouble.

After submitting the documents requesting a meeting at the embassy, ​​the clerk saw the seal on Tonellico's document and ran to report to his superior in a hurry.

This is no small matter. It is really surprising that King Lot of Orkney would send an envoy to Garod.

"It seems that the other party attaches great importance to this matter. I'm sure that document of yours contains a lot of weight."

During the waiting time at the embassy, ​​Davidian chatted casually to kill time. After all, it takes time to go through the layers of reporting, and it was really boring for him and Tonelli to just wait here.

“That is King Lot’s handwritten letter and his personal seal. There is a special identification method within the palace, and ordinary people cannot forge it.

The other party is so anxious, obviously he is also trying to buy time to distinguish the truth. We just need to wait patiently. King Nantes will not be so stupid as to not even let us meet him. "

Tonelli sat peacefully in the chair, flipping through the book in his hand, absorbing the knowledge of magic.

During the time the two of them were together, Davian always saw her trying to learn everything she could whenever she had free time.

When she was studying, she was always so shining in Davian's eyes. It was so dazzling that Davian couldn't help but sigh that she was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen on his journey.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that it has the appearance of an elf.

Just as he was thinking this, the messenger came with his guards. After respectfully saluting Tonellico, he said:

"Lord Tonelico, King Nantes wants to see you. Please follow me. He is ready to receive you in the hall."

Tonellico stood up, the book in her hand flashed by. She put away the smile on her face, leaving only the seriousness of a god of war.

At this moment, she didn't look like a gentle magician, but rather like a Valkyrie ready to go to war.

The switch in roles really surprised Davian. He had never thought that Tonelli could have such a cold and sharp side.

"Lead the way." Her words were as cold as the cold wind blowing from the north, but the envoy sent by King Nantes did not dare to be dissatisfied at all. He immediately turned around and led the two of them towards the place reserved by King Nantes. And go.

Along the way, Davian put away his previous easygoing expression and simply guarded Tonelico by holding the hilt of the sword.

At the same time, he took the opportunity to observe everything on the road, alert to possible traps or ambushes.

After all, if King Nantes has completely sided with Vortigern and lost the will to resist, then he and Tonelli would undoubtedly be falling into the tiger's mouth.

The journey didn't take too long before the two men arrived at the hall where King Nantes usually held meetings.

Surprisingly, there was not even a guard in the hall. Instead, it was their arrival that made the empty hall a little more lively.

As soon as he entered the hall, Davian saw King Nantes sitting on the first seat.

A simple crown made of pure silver was worn on his head. The wrinkles on his face showed his age, but although he was no longer young, his eyes were still sparkling.

The dignity of being a king is still supporting this old man, and he will not fall down.

He waved and motioned for the two of them to sit down. Tonelli sat opposite King Nantes as usual, while Davian stood beside her, obviously intending to play the role of his bodyguard.

"Oh, my dear Tonellico. It is seven years since we last saw each other. I was surprised to see you suddenly with a letter from Roth."

King Nantes had a friendly smile on his face, and it was obvious that he and Tonelli were old acquaintances.

This did not surprise Davian. After all, with Tonellico's knowledge and ability, plus her status, it was normal for her to know these people. At most, they were just close to each other.

"It's been a long time since we last met, King Nantes. As you said in the letter, I came here to discuss that matter with you. As you know, that day is getting closer day by day. Vortigern's rule will not last long, and you should also board the next big ship to the new era, right?"

Tonerico's words made it clear that the era of Vortigern was coming to an end. The next era would be an era of heroes rising up, and what to do would depend on the will of King Nantes.

King Nantes fell silent after hearing Tonerico's words. After a little thought, he spoke:

"Merlin's prophecy has not been wrong so far. The White Dragon is now spreading his dark rule over the land of Britain.

But the future of the red dragon who defeated the white dragon will be decided by the sword of the king, and that person is hiding in the land of Britain. If you say that, do you mean to compete with that person?"

Anyone could see that Vortigern's rule would not last long. Previously, Vortigern had joined forces with the Saxons to defeat King Uther, and with his great power, he had overwhelmed these kings and had nothing to say.

Now that everyone has been recuperating for such a long time, everyone has soldiers and food, so they are just waiting for a battle to test the quality of their troops.

In this case, apart from those who share the same destiny with Vortigern, who would sincerely obey this white dragon that wants to rule the whole of Britain?

But the problem becomes more troublesome after that. A snake can't do without a head, but having too many heads is also a problem. There will be new struggles among the kings, and everyone wants to fight for their own place in the future, even the high authority.

And it was obvious that Tonelico, or King Roth, in front of him really wanted to fight.

Unlike King Nantes who is already over sixty years old, they are still young and have great desires, which also give them great motivation.

"If it was in the past, probably not. But it is different today, King Nantes. People change.

It is the same with us. As time goes by, we may awaken our true selves, or realize our mission.

That's why I came here, because if you don't do something, how can you know the result? "

The emotion in Tonellico's eyes penetrated the King of Nantes in front of him, and also made Davidian look complicated...

Chapter 18 But there are still people who have deeper plans

Davian didn't really listen to the rest of the words. Tonelico's aggressiveness was fully demonstrated at this time. She firmly grasped the right to speak at the table and guided King Nantes in a direction that favored her.

It can even be said that if King Nantes had not had his own considerations as a king, he might have already stood firmly on Tonerico's side.

At the same time, he also realized the difference in vision. He was still thinking about the war and the battle with Vortigern.

Tonelli But they were thinking about Britain after the war, who would be in power, who would stand above everyone else. Maybe this was the difference between a warrior and a leader, but Davian wouldn't think about that now.

But precisely because of this, he also basically realized that Vortigern's failure was inevitable. It just depends on who sounds the death knell for him. Unless Vortigern really goes against nature and succeeds.

"By the way, is this your guard? He has a nice sword." King Nantes suddenly turned the topic to Davian. Davian was stunned for a moment, but did not respond immediately.

It would be bad if I said something wrong, so I'd better let Tonelli answer it.

"He's just a temporary companion. He won't pledge allegiance to me yet, so don't even think about testing his limits. He's like a mute most of the time."

Tonelli was basically talking nonsense, and Davian was not as quiet as she said. But he knew that it would be better for him not to say anything at this time.

"Hahaha. If you put it that way, then I will naturally not be tactless. How are Gawain and the others doing recently? I think they have a pretty good relationship with you."

King Nantes stopped talking about those cruel topics and started chatting with Tonellico about daily life, perhaps trying to get closer to him, or perhaps he really cared about whether Tonellico's relationship with those people was still okay.

Hearing this, Tonellico's face couldn't help but look gloomy. Davian couldn't help but secretly look at her expression, and it was obvious that Tonellico's current expression was not much better at all.

"I'd feel better if you didn't bring up this topic. Do you want to piss me off to death?"

It was rare for Tonelli to show such anger. If this man hadn't watched her grow up, she could have slapped him to death.

But King Nantes did not take it seriously and laughed.

"You haven't paid much attention to the new information recently. Gawain recently passed the trial and obtained the legendary sword, Kaledin. He is now one of the most popular young knights in Britain."

This sentence made Tonellico even more annoyed. It was not that she didn't know, but that she knew too much.

It was Gawain's destiny to get this sword. The sword was destined to be his weapon, allowing him to build countless merits and defeat countless enemies in the future.

She turned her head and glanced at Davian. It was probably that Gawain was now on par with Davian.

It’s not that Gawain isn’t strong enough, but Tonelli can’t clearly judge Davian’s strength.

Every time she tried to use magic to get a glimpse of what was going on, a deep darkness would completely wipe out her magic.

This was not a blessing from Merlin, but from the sword at Davian's waist.

Ever since the battle with the demon pig, the lord of beasts, in the woods, Tonelli could no longer see clearly the strength of Davian.

The sword at Davian's waist naturally prevented Tonelli from spying on Davian's full power, or in other words, the detection through magic was blocked by the sword.

And it is precisely because he can't figure out Davian's strength that Tonelli can't tell clearly how big the gap is between Gawain and Davian now. He can only conservatively think that the two should be tied.

"It's not difficult to get the sword, especially with Gawain's strength. Compared to Agravin, he is more powerful and more impeccable as a knight. If I just talk about being the one who trained him, then I can feel a great sense of satisfaction."

Tonelli accepted King Nantes' praise for Gawain. It was an indisputable fact that Gawain had outstanding strength and excellent character.

"It's getting late, so why don't you stay here with me today? I'll have someone show you the way, and let's go around Garod."

King Nantes also invited Tonellico to stay here today. He should have taken good care of Tonellico, as he was a guest from afar, not to mention Tonellico's special status.

But Tonelli shook his head: "I will stay here today, but you don't need to send someone to guide me. I can just wander around here by myself. After all, it is a trip for two people. There is no need for one more person."

After hearing her words, King Nantes could only smile bitterly. He couldn't help but sigh: "You are still the same, making people feel uncomfortable to get close to you. Won't King Lot feel stiff when you are like this?"

"He doesn't care about this." After saying this, Tonellico stood up and left with Davian. King Nantes looked at her back with only a deep wry smile on his face.

Just after Tonelli left, someone walked out of the curtain behind King Nantes. This man was known to everyone, so he hid it very well, not letting Tonellico and Davian know that he was here to listen to all their conversations.

"Oh my, if he knew I was here, he would hate me."

Of course, this person could not be anyone else but Merlin. He arrived here half a day earlier than Tonerico and Davian. Before, King Nantes was curious about what he was doing here. But now, he has completely understood.

"You are such a wicked person. If she had noticed you here, she would have wanted to throw you into the abyss even if she had torn off all her disguises. But you actually dared to hide behind her like this until now."

King Nantes really had nothing to comment on Merlin's bad character. After all, the bastard Merlin was immortal and might even be old enough to be his grandfather.

"So why not just not let her find out? Besides, I don't really care about her. She has her reasons for being resentful, but if she were allowed to come, the situation in Britain would have taken a completely different turn.

If that were the case, the history of the world would not be willing to accept Britain like that. In the final analysis, although this island chose her, the world did not choose Britain. The Age of Gods has come to an end. "

Merlin didn't have any regrets or pity. A building is about to collapse and a single pillar cannot support it. King Uther just didn't understand this. What can the whole of Altoris do? It's just to delay time.

After listening to his words, King Nantes knew what the final fate of Britain would be.

But unfortunately, he also knew that those things had nothing to do with him. He knew very well that he could not hold on until the final end.

So he could only lament at this moment that only Merlin could see the ending, but the only person who saw the ending felt that that ending was enough.

Chapter 19 Gawain

"Does he want to sit back and watch the fight? Or is he simply too old and weak, so he can only wait for the winner to emerge before placing a bet?"

Davian asked this question only when King Nantes's men had left and Tonellico was the only one by his side.

He himself could not judge people's hearts at will, it was a matter of experience. But Tonelli was different, looking at her like this, she was obviously well versed in this.

Tonelli looked at Davian, smiled, and then responded:

"He is indeed a little old, but he is not suffering from Alzheimer's disease. However... after hearing what you just said, do you still want to continue to travel with me? You should understand now, right? I am destined to be the enemy of the person you serve."

This statement almost made it clear that they would be enemies in the future, Davian and Tonellico. There would be a time when the two of them would draw their swords and fight.
