The King of Elden does not die alone!

He has a lot in common with Merlin who also holds a magic wand, right?

"Isn't it...?"

Altria looked at Mia.

In fact, there is no need to look closely.

Except for the face and body shape.

There is absolutely no similarity at all.

Mia was wearing a black travel outfit, while Altria was wearing a white dress.

"My name is Mia. Like you, I'm a traveler." Mia smiled kindly, "This is Melin...Na."

"This is Wilden."

coincidentally.

There were also three people traveling together.

"...Ah, that, Altria." Merlin got up from the ground and patted his robe: "It is certain that she did not lie."

"Well..." The fledgling young knight blushed: "But Brother Kai said..."

"Altoria, you believe what others say too easily." Merlin sighed.

"Brother Kai can't be considered 'someone else', right?"

Altria retorted.

"This is your only shortcoming!" Merlin picked up the staff and said inexplicably seriously: "You should learn to distinguish between jokes and sincerity."

"...So it was just a joke." Altria pursed her lips in disappointment.

"Ah," she exhaled after a moment, "I see! This is part of growing up."

"Yeah, well, it's good that you know."

Merlin nodded pretentiously, like a great teacher.

He looked in Mia's direction: "If it weren't for the huge difference in temperament, I would have thought it was Morgan."

"Morgan?"

This was not the first time that Altria had heard this name from Merlin.

Morgan is her sister, but she has never met her.

"It's okay, it's okay." Merlin realized that he had let the cat out of the bag and quickly corrected himself.

Then, holding the staff carelessly, smiling as brightly as a flower, he turned to Mia and introduced himself.

"As you can see, I am Merlin, the great magician who once served King Uther! Although there are many rumors among the people, I want to clarify one thing: I am not a magician, but a magician!"

Mia is still clear about the difference between magic and sorcery in the Type-Moon world.

If something cannot be achieved using current technology no matter how much time and money is spent, it is called magic.

On the contrary, no matter how incredible it seems, if it can be achieved as long as you are willing to invest time and money, it is magic.

"Hmm," in order not to arouse unnecessary suspicion in this deep world.

Mia nodded and looked at Merlin's side pretending not to understand: "Since you are Merlin, then this is..."

"That's right!" Merlin nodded. "He is the one who drew the sword of the king-chooser and is destined to become the king of Britain!"

"Hey!"

As soon as Merlin's words came out, he attracted the attention of Artoria and Kai.

"Didn't we agree to avoid gossip?"

This was something that had been agreed upon before.

After drawing the Sword of the King.

Altria found that she was unable to use the power of the sword at all.

That is to say, this sword in the stone named 'Caliburn' looks beautiful and gorgeous, and reveals an extraordinary aura.

But for now.

It's just a sword that is sharper and harder than ordinary weapons.

And in order to allow Artoria to use this sword, she will become the true king of Britain.

The training has begun.

in short.

Currently, Altria is still in her internship period.

Before drawing the sword...

Altria's daily schedule is extremely busy. As an adopted child, she not only has to take care of some of the housework at home, but also has to take various courses carefully arranged by Merlin.

Every day is busy from morning till early morning.

Occasionally, he would receive tutoring from Merlin in his dreams.

After all, Merlin is a hybrid of nightmare and human, so breaking into dreams and teaching knowledge is something he can easily do.

As for Altria, with such lack of sleep, don't even think about her being able to have much contact with the complex outside world.

His natural personality and simple ideas are all thanks to his previous life as a successful candidate.

I had just gone out to gain experience, so I could tell at a glance that I didn't fit in with the ordinary people around me.

Merlin whispered to the two people beside him: "Although this is the first time we meet, I don't know why she knows my name...but she looks like someone I can trust."

"I feel like Merlin is a little unreliable. Is this an illusion?"

Altria muttered.

"No."

Kai replied expressionlessly.

"Ahem..." Merlin coughed twice awkwardly.

There was one more thing that Merlin didn't say.

He has a magical eye that can see everything that is happening in this world.

And not so long ago.

It's morning.

He hadn't even found any trace of Mia.

Until just now in the village, he heard the hunters and elders arguing about the spirit wolf. So out of pure curiosity, Merlin used the power of the magic eye to see what the so-called ghost wolf was like.

Merlin was born from the union of Nightmare, a 'fantasy species', and a human.

It is natural to want to see the same kind of "fantasy species" that you have never seen before.

Then he noticed Mia.

"She seems to be a very powerful person."

Merlin said mysteriously, "My instinct tells me that it wouldn't hurt to get to know him."

"Intuition..."

Now that Merlin has decided to trust his instincts.

Then Altria decided to trust her intuition.

That is - Merlin is very unreliable.

on the other side.

Ever since he showed that he knew a lot about this world.

Melina began to pull at her sleeves.

“Do you know this world well?”

"Yeah." Mia nodded.

The Type-Moon world is a fantasy world based on the real Earth.

Mia, who was born on Earth, is naturally very familiar with her hometown.

"Compared to the border area..." She thought for a moment, "It's like a paradise."

Even among people on Earth there are wars, conflicts and contradictions.

But there is also peace, tranquility, and happiness.

It's not that it happened before, but that there is happiness at the same time as suffering.

In this sense,

It is incomparable to the place where there was once happiness.

Whether it is the land that can feed countless people, or the communication between people that seems to never get boring, or even death.

These are things that are not found in the border areas that are now in chaos and declining.

Mia noticed that Melina was looking at her with a strange look.

Combined with what she had said before, Mia had already guessed why.

Melina had one eye closed and the other open.

The golden and watery eyes stared at Mia, just like a stray kitten begging for others' care.

Although Melina's face didn't show much expression...

No, it's precisely because it has no expression that it looks more like a cat.

"Don't worry," Mia smiled and held Melina's hand tightly without making a sound. "The reason I came here is to find a way to make the border area prosperous again."

"After all, the Junction is our homeland."

Mia had to tilt her head slightly as she looked at Melina.

In contrast, Melina lowered her head on her own initiative.

There is about 20 centimeters difference in height between the two.

Although her face was that of a young girl, Melina's figure was considered tall in Mia's previous life.

He must be 1.75 meters tall.

The only thing that keeps Mia from becoming twisted by jealousy is her status as an elder...

"I believe in your ideals." Melina responded in a voice that only Mia could hear.

Mia's smile widened a little.

"Yeah." She nodded vigorously.

Then he turned his attention to another small group not far away.

"Mr. Merlin!" Mia called politely.

Although I am very familiar with him, he is not familiar with me at all.

"There's a village nearby, right? Could you please show me the way?"

"It's almost dark after all."

"Well," Merlin said, "that's true."

He found himself being stared at by Red.

I felt a little uncomfortable.

Then he showed a smile that he thought could charm thousands of girls and resolve any crisis.

But he seemed to have forgotten that there was a wolf in front of him.

Hong looked at him with disdain.

Merlin: ...So frustrating.
