When Lancelot woke up again, he found that he did not appear on the emerald grassland he had dreamed of.
"How is this going?"
After he opened his eyes, he found that he was still lying on the dry and desolate gray grassland of the Kingdom of Shadows.
The sky is still the familiar colorless gray-black color.
It stands to reason that when Lancelot truly dies, the knights of the Silver Crowned Dragon...that is, his former colleagues and comrades-in-arms, will descend from the dream world on the Rainbow Bridge and lead his soul.
To the realm of the Silver Crowned Dragon.
The towering mountains covered with snow are the crystal mountains where the Silver Crowned Dragon lives. From time to time, distinguished guests come to visit. There is also a large library presented by Weizhe, where the knights can study and study; usually the knights will
Riding horses on the emerald grassland at the foot of the mountain.
There is a lakeside scenery that is always sunny, which is completely different from the Kingdom of Shadows where Lancelot lived for more than four hundred years.
This place is close to the Fairy Kingdom. Occasionally, lost fairies will stray into it. Some fairies will stay in admiration of the beauty here and become musicians and poets in the authoritative realm. There are also some fairies from the Kingdom of Shadows who occasionally come here.
Come to bathe in the lake and meet the heroic knights they admire.
If it weren't for keeping the promise he made to Merlin, Lancelot would never have stayed in the dark Kingdom of Shadows to hone his martial arts.
Only in the Kingdom of Shadows, where there is no sun, no moon, no life and no death, can Lancelot be resurrected by the grand ceremony of "Shadow of Avalon". After all, this ceremony itself relies on the resurrection of the Queen of the Kingdom of Shadows, and her resurrection.
The power of shaping the body.
...Looking back now, I feel like I might as well have died.
But if he died now, the four hundred years of hard work would seem to have been in vain. When he arrives at the Emerald Grassland, those old brothers he has not seen for four hundred years will probably laugh at him again.
Thinking of this, Lancelot couldn't help but put his hand on his forehead. He felt a headache coming on.
"Eh?"
At this moment, a gentle and mature voice came: "Lancelot? Didn't I hear you left?"
When Lancelot heard this, he felt bad and reluctantly opened his eyes: "Morgan...?"
With long silver-blue hair and eyes as clear as sapphires - she is the elf witch who has now transformed into a fairy. She is Gawain's biological mother and Mordred's adoptive mother.
She smiled slightly and stretched out her hand to hold Lancelot, as if to pull him up.
She is friends with Vivian, and through Vivian's relationship, she studied magic under Merlin for a while.
And Lancelot knew a secret, that is, Morgan had a relationship with Arthur, who was born as a mortal. After all, Arthur's war with the Supreme Heaven was not just one battle. And he was also wounded and dying, and it was Morgan at that time.
Cured Arthur.
As a witch in the realm of love, her method of treating Arthur is naturally quite witch-like.
What made Lancelot feel even more numb was that Morgan seemed to have taken a liking to him again.
Although she initially ascended to the Emerald Grassland as the apostle of the Silver Crown Dragon... but when she learned that Lancelot planned to go to the Kingdom of Shadows to learn skills, she ran after him.
Now Morgan has become the apostle of Ying Tiansi and often appears with Vivian.
Even though Morgan and Arthur only had a one-night relationship, and the Silver Crowned Dragon never cared about her... Lancelot still didn't dare to bet on the boss's opinion of her. Even though Morgan showed kindness to Lancelot many times, but Lancelot
Slott never dared to touch Morgan. After all, he still expected to return to the Emerald Grassland after his death.
"...There seems to be something wrong, the situation is a bit troublesome."
Lancelot coughed dryly and sat up from the grassland without holding Morgan's hand: "I seemed to have been summoned to the material world by the 'Shadow of Avalon' ritual... but then I was used as a sacrifice.
He was sacrificed for his sake, and his newly resurrected body was snatched away by the city breaker. Then he met some people... and then suddenly came back."
"The city breaker? Enyo?"
Morgan was surprised when he heard the name: "Are you sure?"
"...What's wrong?" Lancelot realized something was wrong.
"She just died, and Xiong Tiansi went crazy again."
"died?"
Lancelot was stunned for a moment: "Who killed him?"
"I do not know."
"...She wasn't resurrected?"
Now Lancelot was also surprised: "Wouldn't it be nice to ask after resurrection?"
Logically speaking, phantoms are immortal - from this point of view, the material world is like an incubator. After the soul sublimates into phantoms, it can survive in the dream world. Those souls that fail to sublimate will be destroyed.
Shattered and then reshaped randomly.
After repeated cycles, the number of phantoms will increase.
Unless it is devoured by a phantom of the same path, the phantom will reshape its body from the dream world after its death; even if both body and spirit are destroyed, at most it will become a phantom egg and be reborn from the material world.
"That's the problem," Morgan said seriously, "She didn't resurrect from the dream world - she should have turned into a phantom egg."
Becoming a phantom egg means being stripped of all power and falling into complete and complete death.
According to Lancelot's opinion, even if he is resurrected from the phantom egg form, he cannot be regarded as the same existence as before... The old memory is fuzzy and incomplete, and the only clear memory is the memory of the host in this life.
"…strange things."
Lancelot murmured.
He subconsciously recalled the ritual that briefly summoned him.
If there is any problem... then it can only be this.
Shadow of Avalon Ritual... Something went wrong, or was someone tampered with?
"Since you have met the city breaker, why not come with me to meet Her Majesty the Queen."
Morgan enthusiastically invited: "Her Majesty the Queen is summoning us to discuss this matter."
"Her Majesty the Queen" is their honorific title for Yingtiansi. After all, Yingtiansi calls herself the Queen of the Kingdom of Shadows.
"...I have to go there."
Lancelot nodded slowly.
He suddenly thought of something: "By the way, I remember it was Merlin who maintained this ritual, right?"
"No, Merlin is only responsible for constructing the ceremony. Vivian is responsible for maintaining it." Morgan shook his head.
Hearing his adoptive mother's name, Lancelot paused.
He and Vivian had a complete falling out a long time ago, and now they are almost half enemies. Basically, they never meet.
But thinking about the issue of the Shadow of Avalon ritual, Lancelot endured the strange feeling in his heart and insisted on asking: "What about Vivian? I have something to ask her..."
"She's gone."
Morgan was also a little surprised that Lancelot actually wanted to find Vivian...
But she still explained: "It disappeared for a long time."
"...disappearance means?"
Lancelot was surprised - Vivian was also killed?
Guessing what Lancelot was thinking, Morgan shook his head and explained: "She was not killed, she ran away on her own. Since Her Majesty the Queen cannot be found, it means that she is not in the dream world now, nor is she through the shadow sky.
Si’s temple appears in this world...so I think she may have been reincarnated."
...Why are you suddenly reincarnated at this time?
For some reason, Lancelot suddenly thought of the ritual in question.
Lancelot's expression suddenly became subtle: "...Are you sure you can't contact me?"
Could it be that Vivian just ran away because there was a big problem with the ceremony that couldn't be solved?
Over the past few decades, Lancelot has met a good brother in the Kingdom of Shadows. He died from the ancient Kingdom of Parthia.
According to that buddy, the spell magicians in the ancient Anxi Kingdom like to do something big, as if they can't prove their level without writing a big ritual. Therefore, they need to get a lot of funds from the benefactors, and it's very difficult.
It is possible that the ceremony may not achieve what was initially promised.
——So there is a saying there that only one of the ritual and the ritual master can escape.
"...I'm afraid Vivian has run away. I have a bad feeling."
Lancelot thought of that strange experience, so he warned: "I may have been summoned to the simulated world line by some pillar god just now. I went through the Shadow of Avalon ritual that exists in reality. There is definitely something wrong with that ritual.
...I suspect it can pull the apostle directly to the material world and kill him.
"——I suggest you ask the wolf cub that Vivian raised. He should know where his master is."
Lancelot didn't have a good attitude towards that guy.
Whether Vivian is his adoptive mother or his lover, the young wolf cubs she raises are displeasing to Lancelot.
"I've looked for it."
Morgan answered without hesitation: "I have been looking for it for a long time - even twice. I looked for her when she first disappeared seven years ago. Last year, I was worried, so I looked for her again. But he did
I wonder where Vivian is."
"...Then ask Merlin."
Maybe that bitch Merlin knows—sometimes Lancelot thinks he knows everything.
"Merlin can't be found either."
Morgan smiled bitterly: "He basically never returns to the dream world. He has been playing in the material world. We can't lock him with rituals. Who knows where he is now. Let me tell you, I am very familiar with the teacher... As long as he
If he doesn’t want to see you, you will definitely not be able to find him.”
"I'm also very familiar with that bitch - but no matter how he runs away, Weizhe must know it."
Lancelot was a little anxious: "Why don't you ask Gawain to ask? If you go and talk to Gawain, he will definitely go."
"Isn't it a good idea to bother the Pillar God for this matter? His Majesty might also be unhappy..."
Morgan was still hesitant.
But Lancelot could see clearly that she just didn't want to go back to the Emerald Grassland. There were several of her children there, as well as her lover who had now become the Pillar God...
This is the trouble for people on the path of love. Once you live for a long time, all kinds of complicated emotions will become a mess.
However, Morgan finally sighed and could not refuse Lancelot's request: "Forget it, I'll go and ask - but don't hold out too much hope. Even if he can contact Merlin, he may not know about Vivian."
where."
"It's always good to try."
Lancelot still warned: "It's better to be careful... I think the Shadow of Avalon ritual has become very dangerous now, and it is completely different from Merlin's original design. I suspect Vivian may be preparing some conspiracy."
"She won't prepare any conspiracy, don't worry."
Morgan just smiled and comforted: "I know her best."
——Can you understand her with me?
Lancelot thought to himself.
But he was polite and didn't say it directly.
"Oh, by the way," Lancelot thought of another name: "Do you know Aiwass Moriarty?"
"...A descendant of Mordred?"
Morgan's expression was a little strange: "What's wrong?"
Mordred is her adopted son. Although he is not related by blood...but Mordred's descendants are not related by blood either. From this point of view, since Mordred can be regarded as the ancestor of the Moriarty family,
Then she can count in a sense.
"I'm a little curious about him. Please help me investigate him... He should be young, a priest, and very handsome."
Lancelot said: "I can't leave the Kingdom of Shadows, can you help me find him?"
"Okay, this is quick. It's much easier than going to Gawain."
Morgan smiled and said: "After meeting the Queen, I will go down and take a look... Since his surname is Moriarty, he should live on Glass Island, right? Then I will go directly to Glass Island for a walk. I should know him there.
people."
As a fairy, she can appear briefly from any lake in the material world at will. And the Glass Island happens to have a large lake, so it is quite convenient for her to go there.
Those who were throwing axes around the lake saw fairies like them.
"Remember to bring my kindness with you."
Lancelot enjoined: "Just say that everything is fine with me - I have returned to the Kingdom of Shadows, and it is a pleasure to fight alongside him. I hope we can meet again in the future. I will treat him to a drink then."
What he meant was that he hoped that Aiwass could ascend to the dream world in the future. By then, Aiwass would be able to come to the Kingdom of Shadows to find him.
They were said to be fighting side by side... but they were actually two souls squeezed into one body, and they were beaten violently by the city breaker together.
But thanks to mutual support, their souls were not crushed directly by the city breaker. If there was only one person, I am afraid that he would not be able to last long before being crushed... Although Lancelot lived for a long time, after all, he
If you are not an apostle, your soul has not been sublimated.
However, Morgan's expression was a little subtle.
A dead person tells a living person that he hopes to meet in the future... This sentence does not seem very auspicious.
So she turned to ask: "Then should I help you bring him some tokens?"
"...It's possible, but I really don't have much property."
Lancelot thought for a while: "You can give Aiwass a gift for me, Morgan. Thank you. I will make it up to you later."
The fairies in the lake are very rich.
After all, they were once witches. Even if they were transformed into fairies or witches, they still had the ability to make strange objects and magic potions. Just through hundreds of years of mutual exchange, they could accumulate a large amount of wealth.
"No problem, I'll give it to you then."
Morgan was very satisfied with Lancelot's words and said with a smile: "I am also looking forward to your gift."
