Zongman: Picked up Medea at the beginning

But even so, Mei still didn't react before.

But after Roland said it, if she still didn't figure it out, then she wouldn't be worthy of being Britain's national teacher.

"So what we have to do here is quite important. Roland didn't tell us the specific arrangements because he knew that we two would understand what he meant just by saying that Morgan is the king, but Altria and Mordred wouldn't think in that way, so they wouldn't understand. This wouldn't affect the matter of resolving their knots, and it would allow the two of us who stayed in Camelot to secretly arrange various issues."

There was some helplessness on Mary's face when she said these words.

"Even when Roland was dividing the work, he probably thought that we would be divided into groups according to the different identities we obtained when we entered Camelot. After all, workers have a hard life. Altria and Mordred seem to be traveling to the old place, while the two of us were assigned some troublesome tasks as soon as we arrived."

"Roland even brought Medea with him - it seems that he really has no intention of dealing with these problems this time, and just left them all to us!"

What Meili wants most is to be a member of the audience.

It's the kind where there's a huge fight going on outside, and then she lies down at home, has some wine and fruit, and then pats her belly and laughs as she watches the chaos in the world.

At most, she would approach the protagonists that interested her.

It’s like readers of novels have the ability to travel into the book at any time, and from time to time they want to say hello to their favorite characters, and secretly support them or something.

But now she is no longer the one who observes for fun!

She has to deal with those troublesome things!

You even have to push the story forward yourself!

This was not what she wanted at all, but she had already been sold to Roland by Alaya, so now that Roland had arranged a job for her, she had no choice but to do it even if she complained.

On the contrary, Semiramis acted very calm about it.

"Isn't being used the most common relationship? The fact that you can be used and calculated against only proves that you are valuable. Compared to being a worthless waste, even being used is a better relationship for me."

Semiramis' tone was calm and her expression didn't change, which formed a sharp contrast with Meli's helpless and complaining face.

But in fact, her heart was not as calm as she appeared on her face.

It's just that she and Mary care about different things.

She only cared about one thing.

That is, since she was considered by Roland as someone to be used, was there any moment when his eyes were definitely fixed on her?

She was thinking this quietly, while Mary kept complaining.

Then this somewhat strange but unexpectedly complementary combination arrived at their first destination of this time.

This was the place where the nobles of Camelot who were summoned for the King Selection Ceremony were arranged to live.

Roland will bring Morgan back.

And the two of them also have to start cooperating with Roland's plan.

……

Merlin was the one who summoned the nobles and knights of Camelot a few days ago.

Now all the nobles and knights have arrived. Merlin has been waiting for Artoria, who was fostered in the home of the knight Hector, and has also come as a knight's squire. So Merlin gathered everyone today and officially started the king selection ceremony.

He built a platform around the Sword in the Stone and asked the nobles and knights to gather below. Then he stood next to the Sword in the Stone and spoke with a smile.

"Whoever draws this sword will be the chosen king."

"This sword is the sword chosen by the fairies in the lake. The sword itself has an unparalleled sharpness, and it can also screen out the king's character."

"Everyone present here is a noble and knight of Camelot - the king will be born among you."

Merlin put it simply.

But no one refuted him.

It's not that they believe in the legend of the chosen king. The most important thing about Merlin's words to them is that they must choose the King of Camelot from among them!

Among these nobles and knights, there were indeed some who had no intention of becoming king.

But there are more guys who have certain ambitions for this position.

During the reign of King Uther, Camelot was more of a huge alliance than a country.

Now that King Uther, the leader of the alliance, is gone and his own family is in a mess, these people are starting to have some ideas!

However, Camelot is a country in name only, so if one wants to become king, one needs a reason and opportunity that can convince the people and everyone.

Merlin launched the Sword in the Stone at this time, which made those guys who wanted to become king but didn't want Camelot to fall into chaos and benefit from foreign enemies turn their attention directly.

They had met Merlin before the King's Choice.

Although they did not draw the sword themselves at that time, they also tested the Sword in the Stone using various methods at that time.

As for whether Merlin could interfere with the choice of the Sword in the Stone?

They don't believe it!

Merlin is just a lucky liar!

He might have deceived the fairies in the lake and luckily survived, so he got the Sword in the Stone.

Still interfering...Does Merlin deserve it?

Under this premise——

They all recognized that the Sword in the Stone was indeed a sword with special powers.

They all recognized that the person who pulled out the sword had the qualities of a king.

They all recognized that whoever drew the sword would be king.

and so…

Under Merlin's smiling expression.

"The King's Selection Ceremony has officially begun~"

…make….

242. Guinevere

Merlin, who had previously announced the start of the king's election, stood on the stage like the protagonist of the world, as if everything in the world revolved around his actions.

But although Merlin was also standing on the stage at this moment, he looked more like an audience member.

He watched with a smile as one knight and noble after another came on stage, drew their swords, and then left the stage in failure, as if he was watching a cutscene that he had seen countless times.

These nobles and knights all thought Merlin was a liar.

Even the fairies of the lake often called Merlin a trickster.

Because in reality Merlin is a liar.

嗏

Being a liar means that Merlin can cheat, but it doesn't mean that he has no ability.

So when he took out the Sword in the Stone, these nobles and knights wanted to pull the sword out... Stop dreaming~

He and Uther created Artoria together as a red dragon to defeat the white dragon. Even the eldest princess Morgan was semi-exiled for this.

The reason is that Morgan cannot fight against the white dragon.

King Uther had the power of the island, the prestige, and great strength—but he was no match for the white dragon.

Morgan inherited King Uther’s island power and was recognized as the eldest princess. She must have strength and reputation... but is there any difference between her and King Uther?

No.

She might even be worse than King Uther.

King Uther couldn't fight the white dragon, so Morgan couldn't fight it either.

The White Dragon has now taken the Saxons to the north, launching invasions on the British Isles from time to time.

Merlin vaguely knew the white dragon's purpose, but he didn't know why the white dragon did this, and its actions were destined to bring great disaster to the whole of Britain.

For this reason, Merlin asked the white dragon many times about its purpose, but the white dragon never told Merlin the reason.

So much so that until the very end Uther could not recognize it, could not accept it, and even wanted to stop it!

So Merlin wants to make the red dragon the king.

Use the power of the red dragon to completely resolve the disaster brought by the white dragon!

——The one who draws this sword will be the chosen king.

And this chosen king is Altria Pendragon!

He is the king who can lead Camelot to defeat the white dragon!

As for the nobles and knights who came on stage and drew their swords... they were just insignificant minor characters in the story.

These people can't even compare to Morgan, let alone Altria.

Merlin thought so and waited patiently for the protagonist he created to appear.

But inexplicably, Merlin had a very bad feeling when he had this thought!

For ordinary people, such a sudden premonition is often regarded as an illusion, but for a magician like Merlin, such a premonition often indicates that something is about to happen.

So although Merlin still had a smile on his face, he actually secretly activated his clairvoyance.

Merlin's clairvoyance cannot see into the past or into the future.

But he can see the present moment clearly!

So he quickly used his clairvoyance to observe every aspect of Britain today.

The fairies in the lake did not make any unusual movements, and the white dragon did not change and was still entrenched in the abandoned land with snow all year round. Although the Saxons were invading other areas of the British Isles, this was what they had been doing under the leadership of the white dragon. Now half of the British Isles fell into their hands, but there was still some distance from Camelot. The Celts in Hibernia next door did not make any big moves. On the other side, the Romans and Saxons were next to each other so there was some friction, but Rome did not make any moves for the time being.

Altria did come to Camelot.

Morgan also remained in the border castle.

No problem!

After seeing that everything was normal, Merlin was not relieved, but even more puzzled.

After all, if there was really no problem, why would he have a bad feeling?

And this bad premonition is getting worse!

It can't be possible...that some of the information I saw with my clairvoyance is false?

Merlin himself was a master of illusion, so his thoughts immediately went here.

But precisely because he was a master of illusion, the idea was immediately rejected by him as soon as it reached this point!

impossible!

Even the Fairy of the Lake couldn't do such a thing!

After all, the scope of his clairvoyance is too wide and the details are too many.

Once an illusion makes the deceived person feel uncomfortable, it will be noticed. Once the illusion is noticed, its flaws will be magnified infinitely as it loses its concealment!

Just like a tiger without teeth!

It is already extremely difficult to use illusions to deceive a master of illusion, let alone to deceive his clairvoyance - unless the other party is also a master of illusion, has the same eyes as him, and even knows him very well!

Merlin could only think of one such person.

That's himself!

But how could he not know whether he was deceiving himself or not?

and so…

It is highly likely that the problem does not lie in these areas.

With this thought in mind, Merlin closed his clairvoyance and focused his attention on Altria, who was disguised as a man and following behind Kai.

So the problem... lies with our red dragon?

...

"Merlin seems to have realized something, but he seems to be in a state of confusion."

The moment Merlin opened his clairvoyance, Altria below immediately fixed her eyes on him.

Artoria, who possesses the Eye of Power and Truth, can see Merlin's current condition, and Mordred, who is following her, has thought of something at this moment. After a while, laughter sounded dully from her full body armor that seemed to be integrated with the helmet.
