I'm a druid in Type Moon

While King Arthur and his knights were discussing how to win the support of the nobles, Lyn and Morgan had already left the royal capital's sphere of influence. Both Lyn and Morgan had the ability to communicate with animals. Lyn was a druid and Morgan was the lord of the island, and the whole of Britain was their home ground.

But soon Morgan couldn't stand it anymore. As the princess of Camelot, although Morgan had learned horse riding and being able to communicate with horses did save her a lot of effort, the fatigue caused by the long journey was still too much for her to bear.

At Morgan's strong request, Lin En found a shady place and the two let the horses go and let them move freely.

Lynn cast a few healing spells on the two horses, then sat down to rest after watching the two horses happily run to eat grass.

Morgan was a little confused and said to Lynn, "They are not injured or very tired, why do we need to use healing magic?"

Lin En looked at Morgan and found that the other party really didn't seem to understand, so he said helplessly: "Your Highness, forget it, I'll just call you Morgan."

"Morgan, do you know what horses eat?"

Morgan didn't care about what Lin En called her, and said doubtfully, "Of course it's grass!"

Lin En shook his head and said, "No, ordinary horses do eat grass, but these two horses are war horses, and they are the top war horses in the Kingdom of Camelot. The running speed of these war horses is several times that of ordinary horses. The faster speed brings greater pressure. Ordinary war horses usually eat grains, but these two horses eat refined grains. If they are too tired, they can also eat eggs."

Morgan was silent. As the princess of Camelot, she was of course guarded by knights in the capital. Feeding the horses was done by the knights' attendants. Morgan didn't care what the horses ate.

"I didn't bring it."

Morgan said simply, then looked at Lynn.

Lynn shook his head and said, "I didn't bring any either, but if we travel at a normal speed and cast a few healing spells on the horses from time to time, then even just eating grass can keep them healthy. This is what Merlin taught me."

When Morgan heard Merlin's name, his face darkened instantly, and he said darkly: "He never taught me these."

Lin En was a little embarrassed. Indeed, as the court magician of the Kingdom of Camelot, Merlin had taught Morgan for a period of time. But after Altria was born, Merlin disappeared from the capital.

From this point of view, it was Altria who stole Morgan's teacher, although it is not known whether this is a good thing or a bad thing.

Morgan was lost in his own world. Lynn had no choice but to turn around and look for any edible wild fruits. It was almost time for lunch.

The End of the Age of Gods: Chapter 27: Followers

Ancient Britain was in a period of war in the fifth century AD. The Anglo-Saxons invaded the British Isles from the south to the center, and gradually established some kingdoms in these areas. Their leader was the Bilge King Vortigern.

There were countless kingdoms established by the native inhabitants of Britain, and their leader was King Arthur, the Lord of Camelot and King of Britain.

As the news of King Arthur's accession to the throne spread, the war between the indigenous people and the invaders showed signs of resuming.

Lynn and Morgan did not hide their whereabouts. For the native people of Britain, druids represented knowledge and culture, the will of their ancestors and the hope of a good harvest. All civilians hoped to receive gifts from the druids, all nobles hoped to receive guidance from the druids, and even the king would consider the druids' advice.

What's more, Lin En is an envoy of Camelot this time, and he is accompanied by the princess of the previous king. Whenever he arrives at a city, the mayor will personally greet him at the city gate, the common people will kneel down and pray for the druid's blessing, and the knights will put on the best weapons and armor and ride on shiny horses, hoping to follow the archdruid.

Every time this happened, Lynn would ask Morgan to cast an illusion on him to make his appearance more mature. Then Lynn would raise his oak staff, and the surrounding animals would gather around him. The road he walked on would be full of flowers, and the farmland he passed by would have a good harvest. People would kiss the land he walked on, believing that it would make them stronger.

When he arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, Lin En would find a quiet room to rest. The knights and nobles would not disturb him, but would invite Morgan to the dinner. Lin En would also attend the dinner, but only for a while at the beginning. Then Lin En would return to the room and the servants would bring him dinner.

Morgan would become the center of the party, exchanging intelligence with the nobles and discussing loyalty with the knights. Having grown up in the palace, Morgan was very familiar with the exchanges between the nobles. As for Lin En.

Lynn gave up after being drunk at the first banquet he attended. If it weren't for Morgan's help, perhaps another noble daughter would have entered his room that night.

So the two reached an agreement: Lynn would teach Morgan the knowledge of living in the wild and be responsible for three meals a day and rest; Morgan would be responsible for dealing with the nobles, gathering intelligence, and winning over the nobles and knights.

In the middle of the night, when the dinner was coming to an end, Morgan left the hall, rejected the escort requests of several knights, and returned to his room alone. He took a hot bath with the help of the maid, and then put on pajamas and went to bed.

After the maid left, Morgan opened his eyes, took out a bunch of golden mistletoe from his arms, and after inputting magic power, Lin En's figure appeared in front of him.

This is a spell that Lin En and Morgan jointly researched. The effect is to separate the space in which one is located, isolating the inside and the outside, in order to prevent someone from eavesdropping. Only those who hold the same mistletoe can project themselves into this space.

Lynn and Morgan's original intention was to create a short-distance communication device, but Lynn dug out the method that the druids used to communicate in the past from his memory: divide a bunch of mistletoe of the same origin into several parts, and the druids holding the mistletoe can communicate with each other through nature to pass on information.

However, the effect of this spell has extremely high requirements for mistletoe, preferably mistletoe picked at a specific time, and can only convey a few very short sentences.

Now Britain has lost the favor of nature, so this spell has become ineffective. But Lynn used the sacred object of the druids, the mistletoe that the great druid cut from the tree on a full moon night wearing a white robe, gold jewelry, and holding a golden sickle. The mistletoe is condensed with powerful natural magic.

Although it is a bit wasteful to achieve the original effect of the magic by consuming the magic power in the mistletoe, there is only one druid, Lin En, who has accumulated decades of experience, so it doesn't matter if he wastes a little.

Magic power was released, the barrier unfolded, and space was divided. The location where Morgan and Lynn's phantoms were located was mysteriously isolated from the world. Not even Merlin's sight could penetrate it.

Lin En spoke first: "How is it, what is the attitude of the city lord?"

Morgan shook his head and said, "It's the same as before, all ambiguous answers. The other nobles are similar, and a few want to communicate with me privately. Most of the knights affiliated with the nobles did not express their opinions, but those wandering knights want to follow you."

Lynn scratched his head. This was not the first time. In Britain, the status of a druid was equivalent to that of a scholar and a priest of the same era. The archdruid was equivalent to a great sage and a great priest. There were countless people who wanted to follow him.

Lynn accepted all of these people and asked them to go to the royal capital to assist King Arthur.

"It's the same as before. For those who want to follow me, the eldest sons among the nobles can receive my blessing, the second sons can follow me, and the knights can go to the capital. As for the common people, let them spread my name, and I will naturally bless them."

After Lin En finished speaking, he looked at Morgan and said, "What about you? Is there anyone willing to follow you?"

Morgan helped Lin En deal with the communication between him and the nobles, naturally he had his own purpose. Now Morgan still wanted to become the King of Britain, but King Arthur had already ascended the throne. If he wanted to replace him, besides King Arthur being incompetent, he could only win the support of more nobles and ascend the throne under the influence of "public opinion".

But unfortunately, apart from those knights from the original kingdom who stayed in the royal capital, Morgan did not find other knights willing to be loyal to him. After all, the war was approaching and the opportunity to make achievements was right in front of them. All the knights wanted to give it a try and win their own title.

Morgan said without changing his expression, "I'll try again tomorrow."

Lynn nodded and said nothing more. He had given up trying to persuade Morgan.

The End of the Age of Gods: Chapter 28: War Begins

War broke out in Britain.

When Lynn and Morgan were traveling to the third kingdom, Camelot declared war on several surrounding kingdoms. King Arthur led the Knights of the Round Table to line up on the border and launched a war against the other side.

When they received the news, Lynn and Morgan were visiting the palace of the Fourth Kingdom. They were resting in the garden and discussing the evening banquet.

During this time, they visited three kingdoms and countless cities, and every noble gave an ambiguous answer, that is, they were unwilling to surrender to King Arthur, nor were they willing to abandon the Kingdom of Camelot. However, more and more people wanted to follow Lynn, and most of the nobles hoped to get the blessing of the druids, and countless knights wanted to follow the archdruid.

In the end, the knights who wanted to follow Lin En followed him with Lin En's tacit consent, and as the sword and shield in Lin En's hands, they wiped out countless bandits and thieves along the way. Those who were rescued were released back to nearby cities under Lin En's persuasion, and those who could not be rescued were directly killed on the spot and used as fertilizer for nature.

Druids are not priests who encourage people to be good. Druids are agents of nature. Life and death are part of nature. As long as they do not betray nature, druids can make their own choices.

Thus, Lin En's reputation began to spread in various countries. This time it was not because he was a great druid, but because he could always lead people to find the lairs of bandits and thieves, and then surround them without anyone noticing.

According to the propaganda of the knights in the Knights Templar, the Archdruid is favored by nature and can communicate with animals and plants, so he will find you no matter where you hide.

Back to the topic, Lynn raised his hand and used the swooping carrier pigeon to cast a few healing spells on it. Then he took out half a loaf of bread from the basket, tore it into pieces and placed it next to it, and then took out the letter from the device on the pigeon's feet.

Morgan did not disturb Lynn. He reached out and stroked the pigeon's feathers, wiping away the stains on the feathers bit by bit. The aqua blue magic seeped from Morgan's palm into the pigeon's body, repairing the damage caused by the long-distance flight bit by bit.

"Altria has declared war on a neighboring country."

Lynn told the contents of the letter.

Morgan paused while stroking the pigeon, then put his hand back in front of him and held it tightly. He said calmly, "Was it Merlin's idea? He asked us to send envoys to various countries, but he didn't inform us before declaring war."

"No!" Lin En said helplessly, "It was Altria's idea."

"A knight from a neighboring country came before the throne to accuse the king of tyranny. The nobles were persecuted and the people were living in misery. He hoped that King Arthur could set things right."

Morgan was silent for a long time before he said, "She believed it?"

Lin En had a strange look on his face and said, "What the knight said is correct. The king is indeed cruel and persecutes the nobles, but the common people are not targeted. It's just that the power struggle between the nobles and the king is getting more and more intense, and the common people are just affected."

Morgan's expression also became a little strange, and he asked suspiciously: "Which faction does that knight belong to, the king or the nobles."

Lin En looked at the letter and said helplessly, "According to Merlin, the knight was a wandering knight without faction. He came to Camelot because he didn't want to get involved in the struggle between the king and the nobles. He spoke from his heart, so the Knights of the Round Table believed him and gave advice to King Arthur."

Morgan covered his forehead. If the knight was sent by one of the nobles or the king, it meant that they wanted to use King Arthur and the Kingdom of Camelot. They only needed to enter the country in the name of the other party, defeat the other party, and then find a way to conquer everyone, then this country would surrender to Camelot.

But if there is no one behind the knight, then Camelot may be facing a coalition of nobles and the king. If he wants to subdue them, he needs to defeat them all together. The difference between the two is huge.

Not only will it increase the casualty rate of Camelot's soldiers, but it will also easily arouse the vigilance of other countries. After all, you can use civilians as an excuse to invade them today, and you may use civilians as an excuse to invade us tomorrow. In this era, the people are the wealth of the lords, and there are human rights, but not many for the nobles.

Lin En scratched his head and couldn't think of any good solution. However, since Camelot had declared war on its neighbor, other countries would certainly pay attention to the war. Before the war was over, their mission was suspended. No matter which country would give an accurate answer at this time, they would not even want them to stay here.

"I think someone will come to inform us soon that tonight's banquet is cancelled. This is the first war in the age of King Arthur, and everyone's attitude will change because of it. Perhaps we should go back to Camelot and discuss our future attitude with Merlin."

Although Morgan was somewhat reluctant, she knew that this was the best choice, so she and Lynn went to say goodbye to the owner of this place. After refusing the other party's retention, Lynn and Morgan reunited with the Knights and embarked on the journey back to Camelot.

The End of the Age of Gods: Chapter 29: The Coming War

Lynn and Morgan spent several weeks traveling across the territories of the three kingdoms and finally returned to the royal city of Camelot before the war.

Lynn ordered all the knights to go to Morgan's manor near the royal capital for rest. He had no choice but to go to the palace to meet King Arthur.

"What did you say? King Arthur has already set out with the Knights of the Round Table?"

Lynn slammed the table, causing all the documents in Merlin's hand to fly.

"Don't be so anxious?"

Merlin chuckled and put down the quill in his hand, gathered up the scattered papers, and waved for the maid to bring some snacks.

"It has been almost a month since I sent the letter. Isn't it normal for the king to set out ahead with the knights?"

"Humph!"

Lin En sat opposite Merlin, picked up the water cup and drank it in one gulp, then said: "What a joke! Even when King Uther was seriously ill, it took several months for the two lords to go to war with each other. First, they declared war, then sent envoys to each other, summoned nobles and knights, and then went to war."

"According to the custom of the nobles, they would recruit civilians as cannon fodder before the war. These things cannot be completed in a few months. Moreover, King Arthur has ascended the throne. In order to demonstrate his authority, this war must be fought with all his strength, and allies must be contacted to increase deterrence."

"Almost a month? If the other party didn't use some magical means, a month might not be enough for them to notify every noble."

Britain in this era was like the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Wars emphasized the need for a legitimate reason. As the king of Camelot, before going to war, he should have waited for the enemy's envoy in the royal capital, determined the time and place of the war, and sent out his strongest knights to lead the army. Before the war, he should have had a knight duel instead of the king himself going into battle.

"Yeah! Yeah! You're right!"

Merlin took the plate from the maid and waved her away.

"Come and eat something first! You probably didn't have lunch!"

Lynn looked at the cookies and cakes in front of him, smelled the tempting aroma, and looked at Merlin's usual chuckle. The anger in his heart disappeared instantly. Why should he worry about such a person?

Merlin also picked up a small cake and put it in his mouth, feeling the sweetness on the tip of his tongue, his face still with a faint smile.

"It was King Arthur's decision to set off early."

Merlin said slowly, "After confirming that the knight was not lying, the king immediately summoned the knights to prepare for war. The declaration of war was written by Kai, and it was he who asked the king to wait for a while and wait for the other party's reply. A few days ago, after receiving the reply from the other king, the king set out with the knights."

"What was the other party's response?"

Lynn was a little confused. You know, King Arthur was taught by Merlin himself, so he must have known the unspoken rules of war. What was the reason that made King Arthur start a war directly?

"There's nothing wrong with what's written in that letter." Merlin raised his head and looked at Lin En and said, "The general meaning is that this is our country's internal affairs and you have no right to interfere."

Lin En scratched his head and understood a little: "Isn't that knight from a noble family?"

"No, he is a rare knight who was born a commoner."

In this era, basically all knights were born into aristocratic families. The eldest son inherited the title, and the rest of the children had to depend on the eldest son's favor. Those who were lucky could manage part of the family business, while those who were unlucky could only get some money or be given a set of knight's equipment.

Of course, even if these people leave the family, they can still borrow the family's reputation outside. After they are successful in their careers, they will become natural allies of the family.

If the knights who came to Camelot to ask King Arthur for help were of noble birth, it would mean that they had the support of the families behind the knights, and King Arthur could send troops in the name of the other party's allies and become a third-party force.

But if the knights were civilians, then the warring king and nobles, plus the neutral knights and nobles, would all become enemies of King Arthur.

“Is the opponent the entire country?”

Lynn muttered.

"Not bad." Merlin nodded, but when he reached out his hand, he found that the snack had been eaten by Lin En without him noticing. He had no choice but to lick his fingers and then picked up the quill.

"But you don't have to worry too much. I've seen it with my clairvoyance. The country is exhausted from years of war. The new king wants to achieve his goal in one fell swoop. He wants to suppress all opposition voices in a short period of time, integrate the power of the entire country, and strive for future status."

"If he had been given another half year or so, he might have been able to do it. But King Arthur has appeared. A barely cohesive alliance cannot be our opponent."

Lynn nodded. Merlin was right. Although the opponent was an entire country and their own forces had not yet been unified, as long as the other side did not have a knight who could rival King Arthur, King Arthur's army would be invincible.

This war not only established the prestige of the Kingdom of Camelot, but the victory of the weak over the strong also promoted King Arthur's bravery and wisdom, and sending troops to help civilians promoted King Arthur's kindness.

As for the hostility between the nobles and the kings, isn't that natural? Since King Arthur wants to become the King of Britain and unify the now fragmented kingdom, then subjugating all the nobles and kings is the most important task. Whether to subjugate them with virtue or force doesn't really make much difference.

At least, that's how it was for King Arthur.

After figuring it out, Lin En heaved a sigh of relief. At least it wasn't because of him that King Arthur's first battle went wrong. Relieved, Lin En subconsciously looked around and picked up the documents on the table.

"Camelot has a bumper harvest of grain, and it has been urgently shipped to the border."

"The supplies in the warehouse have been transported to the border and can sustain for half a month."

"Knight Bedivere is leading the Second Knights to set out and is expected to arrive at the battlefield in a week."

"Many foreign merchants have appeared in Camelot recently, and we have sent personnel to investigate."

Lin En looked at the intelligence one by one, and pieces of information emerged in his mind, gradually piecing together a complete network.

Lin En looked at Merlin, as if he understood something, and said, "Merlin, you already knew about this, didn't you?"

"what are you talking about?"

Merlin didn't even raise his head and continued to handle government affairs. He said, "I have been busy handling Camelot's government affairs. Kai and the others still need experience, so I sent them to handle it as quartermasters. How about you come and help me if you have time?"

Lin En looked at Merlin, and Merlin raised his head and handed half of the document in his hand to Lin En.
