In the era when King Arthur was active, the Fairy Lake was located in the Kingdom of Camelot, and Arturia's Contracted Sword of Victory was obtained from the Fairy of the Lake.
After the legend of King Arthur ended, the Fairy of the Lake sank her hometown into the Inner Sea of Stars.
Thousands of years later, the place where the Goblin Lake was originally located was occupied by an organization of magicians. The magicians excavated the skeleton of a giant dragon that was more than 2 kilometers long in the ground. This area has since been called Albion by the magicians.
Spiritual tomb.
This organization of magicians is based on the Clock Tower in London, England. The precious materials unearthed from the tomb of Albion became the cornerstone of the creation of the Clock Tower.
In order to facilitate the management of the Albion Tomb, the Clock Tower established a Bureau of Exhumation of Secrets.
For thousands of years, generations of magicians from the Clock Tower have harvested a large amount of precious materials that can no longer be found in modern times in their continuous exploration of the tomb of Albion.
According to the survey and speculation of the Clock Tower Magician, the Albion Tomb is roughly divided into four areas.
The uppermost area is the mining city of Magisfia, which has been thoroughly explored.
Since Warcraft and even Phantasmal Species appear from time to time in Albion's Tomb, the Clock Tower arranged for a large number of magicians to be stationed in Magisfia.
On the one hand, it is to defend against attacks from underground, and on the other hand, it is also used as an advance base to go deeper into the spiritual tomb.
The second floor is the Grand Magic Circuit, the foundation upon which the Clock Tower is built, also known as the Venous Corridor Oldwina.
After years of hard work, the Clock Tower has conducted in-depth surveys of this layer.
There are still a large number of ancient magic circuits left on the floor and walls of the Oldwina Floor.
According to the research of magicians, these magic circuits should be the traces left by the Lake Fairy when she retreated to the inner sea of stars.
The Oldwina floor is home to a large number of mid-level fantasy species that are close to the strength of the Gods, such as Chimera, Hydra, and lower-level flying dragon species.
The third floor is the heart of the ancient dragon, which is the limit area that modern magicians can reach. The observatory Calyon under the jurisdiction of the clock tower is located on this floor.
As you can roughly guess from the name of the magician, a dragon's heart was found on the third floor of the Clock Tower.
This floor is also one of the most secret areas of the Clock Tower. No one can enter without permission. It is closed most of the time. It can only be unblocked for a short time when the monarchs of the Clock Tower hold a crown decision.
The fourth level is an area imagined by magicians. It may exist in the real world, or it may exist in the mysterious inner sea of stars. It is an unknown area that is difficult for humans to set foot in.
The Clock Tower calls the fourth floor the Fairy Realm, but they have no idea whether fairies really exist on this floor.
As a candidate for the title of caster who has survived from the time of King Arthur to the present day, Merlin is very familiar with the true situation of the tomb of Albion.
The Clock Tower's guess is roughly correct. The lower level of the ancient dragon's heart is the Fairy Town where the Lake Fairy lives. However, this level has been separated from the surface world of human life and goes deep into the inner sea of stars.
So far, no human magician has been able to open the passage to the Inner Sea of Stars from the outside. The fairies firmly control the entrances and exits of the worlds on both sides.
Due to some unbearable memories in the past, Merlin did not dare to lead Lu Xiao and others to the Fairy Lake in person, but only pointed out the direction for them.
Morgan, who has part of the fairy blood, will serve as a link between the two parties and will accompany the three of them on their journey.
Standing on the top of the Tower of Avalon and watching the four people leave, Merlin smiled evilly and touched his chin: "It's almost time for me to set off. I hope Arturia won't be too surprised when she sees me next time."
…
During the existence of the Kingdom of Camelot, Arturia visited Fairy Lake many times.
This quiet lake had not changed much from what she remembered, but the surrounding environment was different.
There is no concept of day and night in the Inner Sea of Stars, and Lu Xiao is not sure how many days they spent on the road.
Goblin Lake is located in a dense forest. When reaching the edge of the forest, Lu Xiao first noticed something strange with his sixth sense and eagle vision.
There is something around that is watching them.
In Lu Xiao's impression, goblins are fantasy creatures the size of fingers. He even guessed that these little things would have thin wings like cicada wings on their backs.
However, the fairies in the Xingyue world were very different from his inherent impression.
Except for their good looks and a pair of long elf ears, the so-called goblins don't look much different from humans. They are more like the elves described in some fantasy works.
I have to say that Merlin's suggestion played a certain role.
Sensing the faint fairy aura on Morgan's body, the fairies who secretly monitored Lu Xiao and others entering the forest did not attack.
When the group of people went a certain distance into the forest, a dozen goblins in gauze finally appeared and stopped them.
One of the elegant female fairies looked at Morgan for a long time.
"It turns out to be you, the heir to the power of the British Isles, the eldest daughter of the red dragon Uther, and the great witch Morgan Le Fay who has part of my family's bloodline."
The goblin wearing a tree crown moved his eyes to look at the three people beside Morgan, and his eyes stayed on Arturia's face for a moment.
"King Arthur? I didn't expect to see you again in the Inner Sea of Stars."
There was also a look of nostalgia on Arturia's face. She stroked her breasts and gave a knightly salute to this elegant and elegant elf.
"Vivian, I haven't seen you for many years. I'm glad to see you are safe and sound."
'Uh~'
There was a hint of gossip in Lu Xiao's eyes, and he carefully looked at the elf leader with extremely delicate appearance.
'She is Merlin's rumored girlfriend, the Lake Fairy Vivian who gave the sword to Arturia?'
There are many versions of the legend about Merlin and Vivian. In some versions, Vivian is not a fairy, but an ordinary daughter of the Orion.
However, the world of Xingyue adopts a different setting. Vivian is the queen of the Lake Fairy, and she has many karmic entanglements with King Arthur and Merlin.
…
Vivian Bingxue was smart and articulate, but Arturia seemed too straightforward when dealing with others. Vivian was easily tricked into talking, and Lu Xiao didn't even have time to step forward to stop her.
"Sure enough, it's that damn incubus that's causing trouble!"
Vivian seemed to still have a hard time letting go of Merlin. She bit her lower lip and asked angrily: "Why doesn't he come here in person?"
Arturia shook her head helplessly: "That coward must be worried about your lingering anger. He only pointed out the way to the Fairy Lake for us, and he was unwilling to go with us even if he died."
"Hmph~"
Vivian's chest rose and fell violently, and it took several seconds before she could adjust her breathing.
"Huh~ Forget it, if I have the chance, I will go to Avalon Tower in person to confront him."
After ending the topic related to Merlin, Vivian once again regained her elegant temperament: "King Arthur, we can indeed open a way to return to the human world, but are you sure you want to leave the Inner Sea of Stars?"
"In most parallel worlds, your story ends the moment Camelot declines. You won't be able to find your own place when you return to the human world. It's better to stay in this peaceful world.
How about moving on with life?”
Arturia said stubbornly: "Perhaps I will come back here one day in the future, but at least not now. I still have unpaid favors."
Due to Merlin's relationship, Vivian had had many contacts with King Arthur and knew her stubborn character of accepting death very well.
Seeing that Artoria was unmoved, Vivian did not continue to persuade her.
Under Vivian's instructions, the fairies gathered around the vast lake and danced softly one after another.
The Fairy Dance contains strange magic power. Under the control of Vivian as the lead dancer, a dark irregular hole gradually appeared in the center of the calm lake.
With sweat dripping from her forehead, Vivian continued to maintain her graceful dancing posture, twisting her slender waist while saying to Arturia: "This is the passage to the human world."
"King Arthur, I wish you all the best on your trip, and I hope we have a chance to meet again in the future."
Arturia nodded firmly, and after bidding farewell to Morgan with her eyes, she stepped onto the lake and was the first to enter the passage with the blessing given by the Lake Fairy.
