.....................

The entire dinner was unremarkable, and the overall process was the same as that used by later leaders to commend their leaders: King Arthur spoke first, talking about how powerful the enemy was, how great the achievements were, and how many benefits we had gained.

What followed was the commendation. The nobles and knights walked up to King Arthur one after another, knelt on one knee to receive their rewards. Some of them who had just joined King Arthur's army were even required to swear an oath of allegiance.

In fact, the division of the cake had already been decided at the previous meeting. After all, the core members of Camelot were only King Arthur, Merlin, Lynn, Gawain and Kay. Morgan was excluded by Merlin, Bedivere was considered Altria's confidant, and the rest of the nobles and knights had no choice but to obey orders.

"When the news of this war spreads throughout Britain, more knights and nobles will want to join King Arthur. By then, you can share some of the work on your hands!"

Lynn walked to Kay and Gawain, the two of them were the great heroes of this war and the first two people to be rewarded. As for Lynn, the status of the Archdruid was not lower than that of the king, and it was impossible for Lynn to accept King Arthur's reward as a subject. The reward for Lynn had already been decided in private.

At this moment, everyone's attention is focused on King Arthur and the knight who received the reward. After the reward is given, the nobles and knights who want to establish a relationship with them will surround the three of them. Now is the only time for the three of them to feast tonight.

The three of them gathered together tacitly, and Lin En quietly cast magic to weaken the presence of the three people. After putting the food they wanted to eat on their plates, the three of them each took a glass of wine and walked to a corner where they would not attract attention.

"It would be nice if there were a knight with the ability to govern!"

Kai used a fork to roll up a large piece of macaroni, which was made from potatoes grown by Lynn and was now being promoted. Kai took a bite and chewed it and found it tasted good.

"This macaroni tastes good. Remember to give me a portion of the seeds. I will let the servants in the manor try it."

Kay has a manor of his own near Camelot, which was given to him by King Arthur, and comes with a farm and accompanying servants.

Gao Wen scooped a large spoonful of mashed potatoes, put it into his mouth, chewed it, and nodded.

"Yes, send me one too. I'll have the servants at the manor try it, too."

Gawain also had a manor of his own near Camelot, which was also given by King Arthur, and came with a horse training stable called Gamaff.

"Sure! But the seeds will be a little few. After all, I didn't plant much, and I have to save some to send to the palace."

Last time, Lin En only planted a small patch of potatoes. Even with the help of druid spells and the careful care of the servants, the harvest was not much. After reserving most of them as seeds for the next batch, the remaining potatoes were only enough for a few people.

"I hope there will be a few knights with leadership skills."

Gawain brought the topic back to the knights. The current Kingdom Knights are jointly managed by Gawain, Kay and Bedivere, who are responsible to King Arthur, but Kay is also the future Prime Minister and is currently interning under Merlin; Bedivere is Altria's guard knight, born a commoner, and has just been knighted. His prestige is not enough to subdue the unruly Kingdom Knights.

"Don't worry, you'll get everything you want!"

Lin En was relieved. This war was bound to spread throughout Britain, and even nobles from other places would know the reputation of King Arthur. Many knights would surely come to find out, such as the strongest Knight of the Round Table.

"I hope you don't lose to them and end up being suppressed by them when the time comes."

Lynn wished sincerely.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Gawain laughed and waved his hands, saying confidently: "As long as the sun is on, I am the strongest knight in all of Britain except for the king. I still have this confidence."

"What if the other party is not British?"

Lynn said slowly.

Gawain's laughter was stuck for a moment, and he said unconfidently: "You are talking about Rome, no way, why would the Romans come to Britain."

"Who knows?"

Lin En didn't explain it too clearly. After all, he was not a prophet and could not confirm when Lancelot would join the Knights of the Round Table.

"I don't think there's a need for so many powerful knights."

Kai expressed a different opinion at this time. He calculated Camelot's treasury in his mind and said with some worry:

"The kingdom's finances are still sufficient. With the victory in this war and the many gold and silver treasures we brought back, we won't feel any pressure even if we start another war right away."

"But Camelot doesn't have enough food. After losing the blessing of the druids, the grain production in the whole of Britain has been declining, and Camelot is no exception. If the king wants to support more knights, he needs to increase taxes, and then the lives of the common people will become more difficult."

"If possible, I hope to have a few knights who are good at internal affairs to share the work on my hands. After all, I always feel uneasy about leaving the work to Merlin."

The End of the Age of Gods: Chapter 58: It Has Nothing to Do with You

Lynn, Kai and Gawain huddled in a corner, discussing the future of Britain in their eyes. Kai and Gawain were both in their early twenties, and Lynn was not even eighteen years old.

However, this is still an era when boys have reached adulthood at the age of 13. In the eyes of everyone in this era, they are King Arthur's right-hand men, the most outstanding young talents in all of Camelot, and also the best candidates for marriage.

So after King Arthur rewarded all the heroes and announced that everyone could move freely, many middle-aged nobles came over here, followed by their family's outstanding descendants. The men came to make themselves familiar with the people, so that they would have someone to look after them when they joined the Kingdom's Knights in the future. And the women.

Gawain, the most masculine prince charming among the three, has been surrounded by noble ladies. As for Kai, the successor trained by Merlin and the future Minister of Internal Affairs, the nobles all hope to get some secret information from him, so those who surround Kai are all nobles and lords who hold real power.

As for Lin En, not many people dared to disturb him. As a druid who had disappeared for decades, even the nobles with a long family background knew little about him. His origins, his abilities, everything about him was like a mystery.

Only the very rare elderly people in their 50s and 60s have experienced the era when druids traveled around the world. But memories are beautified. In the eyes of the elderly, druids are the representatives of wisdom, the embodiment of nature, and omniscient scholars.

Even the great nobles who were able to attend the dinner kept their distance from Lin En, just like they were treating the eldest princess of the previous king.

"What a irony! A world-famous druid has fallen into the same situation as a witch like me!"

A voice sounded behind Lin En, the voice was hoarse and full of charm.

"Morgan?"

Lynn turned around and looked at Morgan who had come up behind him silently. His natural consciousness had not sounded the alarm until this moment, and he stared at Morgan eagerly.

In Lynn's perception, Morgan, who suddenly appeared, was surrounded by an ominous magical power, and his originally gloomy temperament now became full of malice.

"What did you do? If it weren't for Britain's blessing still existing, I would have thought you were possessed by someone else."

"Seize the body?"

Morgan tilted his head, and after a long while he figured out the meaning of the word, he sneered:

"You actually doubt that someone can replace my soul?"

There are also legends of soul swapping in the West, and naturally there are conjectures about taking over other people's bodies to achieve immortality. However, in all the stories, it is the devil or witch who takes over other people's bodies, and no one has ever dared to take over the witch's body.

"I have the blessing of Britain. As the lord of the island of Britain, even the gods cannot do anything to my soul. Unless I am too obsessed with it."

Morgan said confidently, and then realized why Lynn said that.

"You mean the aura on me!"

Morgan's expression became cold again, as if he had become a different person.

Lin En nodded. Practicing magic would have a subtle influence on a person's body and soul. Although it was not as severe as in the Age of Gods, where studying certain magic would lead to divine punishment, it would still have an impact on a person's temperament.

Those who practice gem magic will become thirsty for wealth, those who practice flesh and blood magic will become crazy and withdrawn, and those who practice nature magic will come to respect life.

Magic is an indispensable part of a magician's life. It will be reflected in every aspect of the magician's life, changing a person's thoughts and behaviors, and what is displayed externally is temperament.

Morgan seemed to be surrounded by the aura of the underworld. If there were no one guarding the Shadow Kingdom, Lin En might have thought that Morgan had gone to hell, literally.

"So, have you practiced any weird magic?"

Lynn's expression eased a little and he asked casually.

"This has nothing to do with you!"

No one knew what hurt this sentence had touched, but Morgan's voice suddenly became louder, and many nobles around him could hear it.

Seeing their suspicious eyes, Lin En was fine, but she felt a little puzzled. Wasn't it just a casual question? As for such a big reaction, could it be that Morgan practiced some magic that I couldn't know about?

After realizing that his behavior was a bit extreme, Morgan quickly moved away from Lynn and found an excuse to leave early.

Morgan returned to the laboratory and looked at the modern culture tank in front of him. In the tank was suspended a sleeping boy, about twelve or thirteen years old, with a rare short purple hair. Even in his sleep, the boy's expression was still so gloomy.

"It's almost there! It's almost there! Agguiwen, my child, you can definitely do what your brother couldn't do!"

..........

On the other side, after the dinner, Lynn, Kay, Gawain and Merlin called over, and the three followed Merlin to the restaurant. King Arthur was enjoying the food at the round table. As the center of the dinner, King Arthur was surrounded by knights and noble lords who came to thank him or simply to get close to him. He had no time to fill his stomach.

So the cook prepared a sufficient dinner for King Arthur alone.

When King Arthur saw the four people come in, he just nodded and continued to eat. Lin En and the other two were used to it and moved their eyes to Merlin.

Merlin cleared his throat, pulled out a piece of parchment from his pocket and placed it on the table.

Lin En and the other two looked over and saw that there was a message: There has been some chaos at the border recently. Enemy soldiers have tried to cross the border many times and have also obstructed normal business exchanges between the two sides.

That's right, even though the two sides have a deep blood feud, their private business activities have been endless. Camelot buys food from them to alleviate the declining food production year after year. The other party wants to buy some luxury goods. After all, those at the top of the world are rich.

At this time, someone wanted to attack Camelot's caravan. If it wasn't some blind robbers and thieves who didn't know the rules, then the other party was planning to tear up the peace treaty and start a war again.

"This is the current situation. Since we just won a war, King Arthur needs to conquer the central region, and Camelot needs to digest the benefits brought back by the victory. As a result, my work has become more. Therefore, the task of heading to the border can only be entrusted to the three of you!"

"But forget about Kai. It will be very busy during this period and I need Kai to share some of the work!"

The End of the Age of Gods: Chapter 59: Going Out

"I'll go!"

As soon as Merlin finished speaking, Gawain spoke up, his eyes flashing with warlike flames. For Gawain, who considered himself the first knight under King Arthur, guarding the border was a natural responsibility. Moreover, Camelot had just defeated the neighboring country. Even if King Arthur wanted to conquer all the kings as soon as possible, he could not send troops in a short time. He could only stay in the capital to lead the knights. This was not a good thing for Gawain who wanted to make achievements.

"That won't do!"

Merlin smiled and shook his head, and said to Gawain:

"King Arthur's fame has spread throughout Britain with the victory of this war, and even across the sea in Europe, people will surely come soon who want to join Camelot or challenge King Arthur."

"As the strongest Knight of the Round Table besides the King, you must eliminate those weak challengers for the King. It is impossible for the King to deal with all the challengers alone!"

.说:;群,7!!97,5.,541:,72FFF备踊群874>九97712

Gawain thought about it and realized that it was indeed as Merlin said. With the end of the war, King Arthur's name became known to many knights. Whether they were seeking power, strength, or simply interested, knights who wanted to challenge King Arthur would gather in this capital.

At that time, whether it was to intimidate those unruly wandering knights or to serve as the last barrier before King Arthur, there was no other choice but Gawain.

And since Kai and Gawain both have their own things to do, then who will go to the frontier?

"I'm the only one, right?"

Lin En sighed, a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes, and looked at Merlin.

"Sorry! Lynn!"

King Arthur, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke at this moment, with a rare hint of apology in his words. After all, he had just finished a battle and had no time to rest, so he had to go to the border. This was unacceptable anyway.

"It must have been Merlin's idea anyway!"

Lynn waved a hand, never moving his eyes away from Merlin.

"Well! It was indeed my idea!"

Merlin didn't beat around the bush this time and admitted it straight away.

"We are short-handed right now. Apart from you, there is really no one who can take on such an important task."

Merlin paused for a moment, organized his words, and then spoke again:

"Something happened to the humble king that I didn't expect. Even my eyes could hardly see clearly what happened."

Before Lynn could speak, King Arthur frowned.

"I haven't heard of this, Merlin! Didn't you say that this was just a tentative attack by the humble king and there would be no problem?"

Merlin smiled bitterly and said helplessly: "It was supposed to be like this, but now there are some small accidents!"

King Arthur's tone became even colder, and he said, "Then I will lead the team myself. You don't need to bring too many soldiers. I, a few Knights of the Round Table and the entire Knights of the Kingdom can do it. With the marching speed of the knights, we can reach the border in just three days. Together with the soldiers stationed there, we will definitely have no problem repelling this wave of enemies!"

"This will ensure we defeat the enemy." Merlin scratched his cheek and said awkwardly, "But right now we don't even have enough food to support such an offensive. We can probably get enough by scrambling together, but we'll have to collect food from the civilians."

"Then do it."

King Arthur said without hesitation: "If we allow the humble king to enter Camelot, then what is the point of these grains? They will just become food for foreigners!"

Merlin agreed with King Arthur's point of view in his heart, but his years of experience told him that doing so would definitely cause big trouble, and he was about to speak up to stop it.

"I'd better go!"

After hearing King Arthur's words, Lin En's heart sank. You know, the reason why King Arthur lost the support of the people in the future was that he oppressed the two villages for the sake of war, which led to the saying "King Arthur does not understand the hearts of people".

Although the True Ether has not disappeared and the output of the land is still enough to support the country, Lin En is still a little worried, so he said:

"Since Merlin insisted on letting me go to the border to take a look, it means that this matter is related to me. Maybe it is a problem that only I can solve!"

Lin En looked at Merlin, who nodded hurriedly and said:

"That's right. Lin En must handle this matter. If you're lucky, you might get some benefits."

King Arthur looked around at the two men and always felt that they were hiding something from her, but she couldn't see any flaws on this guy's face, and she couldn't help feeling a little frustrated.

"Then how many people can I bring?"

Since the decision has been made to go on the expedition, Lin En focused his attention on the main matter. The first issue was the number of people to go on the expedition.

"You can bring all your Knights of the Cross with you."

Merlin first told a piece of good news. The Knights of the Church, which was a knight group composed of Lin's followers, were mostly wandering knights who voluntarily followed Lin when he traveled around. They were basically composed of the second sons of noble families. They all had starting funds given by their families, and they provided their own weapons and armor. They all sought titles rather than wealth.
