I'm a druid in Type Moon
Page 2
Feeling the comfort of the natural will beside him, Lynn tried to recover from the scene just now, and then looked at Merlin.
"Hey! Merlin! Are you sure your method is okay?"
"Of course. You can always trust Merlin."
"Humph!" Lin En snorted coldly and said nothing.
They walked the rest of the way in silence, and when they arrived in front of the house, a somewhat old man walked towards them.
"Long time no see, Sir Ector." Merlin greeted him with a smile.
Sir Ector, King Uther's most loyal knight and King Arthur's adoptive father.
"Long time no see, Master Merlin." Sir Ector nodded to Merlin, then signaled to Altria to take the two horses away.
After watching Altria leave, Sir Ector turned back to look at Merlin with a frown.
"It's probably not the agreed time yet. Your appearance will cause Altria's identity to be exposed early. What if it attracts the attention of the humble king?"
"There were some minor mishaps with the plan."
Merlin didn't care about Sir Ector's tone. He pulled Lynn to the front and said to Sir Ector, "This is the reason."
Lin En hesitated for a moment, but still saluted with the etiquette of a knight: "Nice to meet you, Sir Ector. My name is Lin En, and I'm an apprentice druid."
When Sir Ector heard the druid, he subconsciously wanted to draw his sword, but he touched nothing. Then he realized that he was not on the battlefield.
"Don't be nervous, Sir Ector." Merlin said, "The Druids will be our friends this time."
"I see!" Sir Ector stood up again and looked at Lin En with complicated eyes: "Is the Druid sect finally willing to recognize my king?"
Decades ago, when King Uther and King Hugh were fighting for the throne, the biggest disagreement between the two was their different philosophies: King Uther hoped to adapt to the times and let the Age of Gods come to an end; King Hugh hoped to prevent the Age of Gods from disappearing.
At that time, almost all the druids and magicians stood on the side of the humble king, only Merlin supported King Uther.
The war ended and King Uther won. But the only one left in the Druid sect was Lynn's teacher. Without the support of the Druid sect, even if King Uther became king, it would still be difficult for him to be recognized by the world.
It's just that the Druids have not appeared for decades and their influence has gradually declined. King Uther has also proved himself during his decades of rule, so Britain has not been in chaos.
"No, we didn't recognize him." Lynn spoke, breaking Sir Ector's fantasy.
"I will not go to see King Uther. The Druids will not agree with King Uther's ideas. We just failed, not admitted defeat."
"So what is the purpose of your appearance?" Hector interrupted, with undisguised anger in his eyes.
"I just wonder what the last King of Britain will be like!"
Lynn spoke calmly.
Sir Ector felt as if struck by lightning, and even his body was shaking.
As King Uther's confidant, he knew something about the current situation in Britain. The invaders were not the biggest problem. If it weren't for the support of the humble king, those invaders would have been expelled long ago.
But the change in the environment is irreversible. Sir Ector didn't know what the disappearance of the Age of Gods meant, but he had lived on the farm for more than ten years, and the declining grain production year after year was real. He also had some vague guesses about his adopted daughter's future.
"The last king?"
Sir Ector murmured and closed his eyes, then opened them again a few seconds later. No matter what the future held, he only had to complete the task assigned by the king.
"Come in first."
Sir Ector led the two into the living room. After they sat down, Merlin spoke first: "We will stay here for a week. After we finish harvesting the crops on the farm, I will take Kai and Altria out to travel."
"Travel!" Sir Ector, who had calmed down, agreed after a brief thought. In this era, it was very common for knights to travel, usually to find a lord worthy of loyalty, or to hone themselves.
Druids also have the same tradition. Before officially serving as priests, druids will travel around to understand the current situation of civilians in each place, verify their own knowledge, and prepare for serving as priests in the future.
Most importantly, it was the fastest way to accumulate fame. In this age without media, the spread of information could only rely on word of mouth, such as bards.
The End of the Age of Gods: Chapter 6: Eye-to-eye
Lynn and Merlin lived on Sir Ector's farm, harvesting during the day and studying at night.
Lynn also met Artoria's sworn brother, the future Prime Minister of Britain, who was a somewhat sharp-tongued man, especially when facing Merlin.
It is worth mentioning that at Lynn's own request, he also experienced the feeling of harvesting. It must be said that the harvesting method in this era is too primitive. The existence of supernatural powers has not changed the working methods of the lower-class people. They are still using primitive tools. Even Sir Ector, who is a knight, will not use rare iron to make farm tools.
Under Merlin's watch, Lin En finally did not cheat by using magic, but found more common bronze and used the blacksmith's furnace to forge several sickles. Although they were not as sophisticated as the sickles made by industrialization in later generations, they were enough to shock others who had never seen the market.
"If this tool can be popularized, Britain's grain production should be able to increase a lot."
This is what the future Grand Steward of Britain said to Lynn.
"Unfortunately, this is not possible."
Merlin, who happened to pass by, took the sickle from Kai's hand, raised it, and made a harvesting motion. Kai subconsciously wanted to draw his sword, but then he realized it.
"It can not only harvest crops, but also be used as a weapon to harvest lives. The nobles will never allow such weapons to appear in the hands of civilians on a large scale. It will undermine their rule."
"Will this kind of thing also shake the rule of the nobles?"
Altria on the side also spoke up. In her eyes, this crudely made bronze weapon had no killing power at all and couldn't even cut her skin.
Lynn gestured to Merlin with a puzzled look: "Didn't you teach me?"
Merlin responded with an equally puzzled look: "Do I need to be taught this?"
The two fell silent at the same time. Kai, who knew more about the lower classes, explained: "Altria, you have to understand that iron is a precious metal that only nobles can use. Most of the annual output is used to make weapons. Even so, there are still a large number of knights who use bronze weapons."
"And this farm tool, Linn, called a sickle, is already a qualified weapon except that it is more difficult to use and has a lower durability. Although it is not suitable for the army, it is sufficient as a weapon for fighting. If this weapon is circulated on a large scale, knights will need to wear armor when they go out in the future."

Looking at Altria's confused expression, the other three sighed at the same time.
"Is this what it means to be born extraordinary? I'm afraid bronze is no different from wood in her eyes!"
After a day's work, Merlin began to teach Artoria, and Kai and Lynn attended. The old man taught Lynn literature, art, astronomy and medicine, but did not teach Lynn how to be a qualified king. Druids are priests and should not interfere with the kingship, these are the original words of the old man.
But Lynn was still very interested in the educational philosophy of this era. Unfortunately, most of what Merlin taught Artoria was knowledge about nobility and knights, without the imperial mentality and the way of weighing pros and cons that Lynn had imagined.
Lynn, who was extremely bored, decided to find some entertainment for himself, for example, the future British executive next to him.
Lynn pulled out a piece of parchment, wrote a few lines casually and handed it to Kai.
Kai took it in his hand and began to write and draw on the paper. After filling up a piece of paper, he took out a piece of sheepskin and continued writing, one sheet after another, attracting the attention of Merlin and Altria.
After finishing a paragraph, Artoria took the parchment with questions written on it in front of her brother, looked at the questions on it, and fell into deep thought.
Seeing this, even Merlin became interested and took the parchment from Altria. It read:
There was a group of pigeons, some of them were singing in a tree, and the others were foraging on the ground. A pigeon on the tree said to the pigeons foraging on the ground, "If one of you flies up, the pigeons under the tree will be 1/3 of the entire flock; if one flies down from the tree, there will be the same number of pigeons on the tree and under the tree." Do you know how many pigeons there were on the tree and how many were under the tree?
"Ah! This question is actually very simple..."
Both Altria and Kai looked at Merlin, who suddenly shut up, and saw him looking at Lin En with an unprecedented look, as if he was looking at some rare treasure.
"What's wrong? Master, can't you solve it?"
Lynn chuckled, her eyes quietly tinged with green, and she looked into Merlin's silver eyes.
The highest level of clairvoyance lost its function at this moment. No matter how Merlin looked, he could not find Lynn's figure. It was as if his figure was obscured by some existence. Except for vision, all other senses lost their function.
Merlin's clairvoyance is EX level, which means that there is almost nothing in the world that he does not know. In the future, Merlin will be able to use his clairvoyance to observe Tiamat, the creator god of the Mesopotamian pantheon.
"The power that can make my eyes blind, I see, is it Avalon?"
As the last successor of the Druids in this world, Lynn inherited the Druids' control over the Oak Forest and is also under the protection of Avalon. Now Merlin has not been imprisoned in the Tower of the End, and the manager of Avalon is the Lady of the Lake.
"Merlin!"
Altria's voice awakened Merlin who was lost in thought: "How should this problem be solved?"
"This!"
Merlin scratched his cheek, not knowing how to start. Although the concept of equations had appeared a long time ago, the solution was not found until around 825 AD, when Al-Khwarizmi, a mathematician from Central Asia, wrote a book called "Cancellation and Reduction", which focused on the solution of equations.
In Britain at this time, only mathematicians would think about this kind of question. Merlin does know the answer to the question, but this is the answer he got from outside Britain, which is cheating. If he gives the answer at this time, it will undoubtedly affect the timeline, although not to the extent of cutting the Lostbelt, but
"I'm sorry, but I don't know how to solve this problem either."
Merlin spread his hands and made a helpless expression.
Both Altria and Kai were a little shocked. Although Merlin's character (? ) was questionable, he was a recognized great sage and one of the most knowledgeable people of this era. How could he not know something?
Lin En's heart sank. He had asked the question on purpose, using a question that was beyond his time to hint at his identity. After all, Lin En didn't have the confidence to disguise himself in front of Merlin. He was also testing Merlin's attitude towards changing history.
It was more than 200 years before the solution to the equation appeared in the West, which was only a small part of the entire timeline. Even now, the East has a similar solution.
But Merlin still didn't give an answer, which meant that Merlin would not teach Altria knowledge beyond the current time and place.
The End of the Age of Gods: Chapter 7: Morgan
night.
Lynn, who was sleeping soundly, opened his eyes, and his natural sense told him that a powerful individual was approaching.
An object that can alert the natural consciousness can at least cause harm to Lin En. Although Lin En is young, he is also a druid, and ordinary knights pose no threat to him.
"Is it some famous knight passing by?"
Lynn thought to himself that, after all, the era of King Arthur could be said to be the last glory of Britain, and a large number of peerless knights came into being, the most famous of whom were King Arthur and the twelve Knights of the Round Table.
But the twelve knights of the round table were actually the spokespersons for the entire knight class at that time. The real big round table could seat a total of 150 people, so it was normal for any of them to suddenly appear here.
Lynn turned around to ask Merlin, but found that Merlin was sleeping beside him, breathing regularly.
You must be kidding! You are a nightmare! Isn't night the time for you to be active?
Lynn cast the Eye of Nature again and quickly saw through the illusion left by Merlin.
"A friend has arrived. I will go to greet him."
Watching the words made of petals slowly disappear, Lin En hesitated for a moment, but decided to follow and take a look. The natural consciousness had a strange attitude towards the uninvited guest, with disgust and pity, just like a young mother looking at her rebellious little daughter.
Merlin looked at the girl in front of him, wearing clothes that were very revealing in the eyes of that era, and her face was covered with a black veil. She was called a witch not only because she lived in seclusion, but also because of the sense of exhaustion brought by her clothes that transcended the aesthetics of the time.
"Long time no see, Princess."
"Merlin!"
Morgan le Fay, the princess of Britain, the eldest daughter of King Uther, the sister of King Arthur Altria, looked at the nightmare demon in front of her, her former teacher, and reconfirmed her thoughts.
"That man, my brother, he is right there, right?"
Morgan looked at the farm behind Merlin. The distance was so close that even Merlin's illusion could not cover her perception. You know, Morgan is the "Lord of the Island" of this generation. Although her strength has not reached the peak and the blessing of Britain has weakened due to the end of the Age of Gods and the appearance of the white dragon, she is still the witch chosen by the British Island.
"If possible, I hope Your Highness can go back! Now is not the time for you to meet."
Merlin was also having a headache. He should have arrived later, when the summer harvest was over, and he could have taken Artoria and Kai to wander around, waiting for the right time for Artoria to draw the Sword of the King. In that case, Morgan and Artoria's first meeting should have been at Artoria's coronation ceremony.
"Why? My brother is not the king you chose. How come he doesn't even have the courage to see my sister?"
"Is this..."
Merlin scratched his head. You know, one of the reasons King Uther and Merlin refused Morgan to become the next king was that Morgan was a woman, and at that time, it was impossible for a woman to become king. Even in Altria, Merlin cast an illusion on her as a cover.
But that kind of illusion could not hide from Morgan's eyes. If Morgan and Altria met now, then Morgan would have a reason to fight for the throne.
With Morgan's great strength and status, she can indeed seize the throne, but Morgan will never be able to follow her original destiny, which may lead to the end of the world.
"Does a person without a destiny have such a big influence on fate? He has caused such a big trouble just a few days after coming out!"
The End of the Age of Gods: Chapter 8: On the Road
People without destiny, like those in the neighboring universe whose coins were upright before they were born, are people who cannot be bound by fate. The difference is that one has no name on the stone slab of destiny, and the other has no record in the roots.
Originally, there were almost no people without lives in the Age of Gods, and even if there were, it would be difficult for them to achieve much under the watchful eyes of the gods.
But Britain is no longer under the gaze of the gods.
"While I do think he could have made a difference in this doomed tragedy, it was too soon."
Merlin looked straight ahead, a rare seriousness in his eyes. No matter what, Morgan and Altria could not be allowed to meet.
"Merlin! What are you doing?"
A voice came from behind, interrupting Merlin's actions.
Lin En walked out of the night, the moonlight poured down and gathered into a veil on his body.
[Moonlight Guardian: People who are loved by nature should receive the protection of the moonlight. ]
The natural consciousness that felt threatened first put up a shield for Lin En, and then conveyed that awkward emotion again.
Lynn stared at the woman, her iconic white hair, black veil, and the aura that surrounded her.
"Druid, Linn, meet the Lord of the Island."
