Hebi's lecture hall had taught him that as a businessman, he should show weakness to others, so that they would despise him and not care about him. If the other party made very harsh demands, he must protect himself first and retreat in order to advance. At worst, he could not do business with him in the future.

So when faced with the insulting [Goblin Tax] from the Lord of Chester, he did not protest and handed over 8% of his income according to the [Goblin Tax]. He even paid the [Goblin Tax], and then when his goods were confiscated, he naturally did not react at all, pretending to be a stupid country boy.

As for who he learned that easy-to-bully look from, that is something that cannot be said.

Under the Goblin Merchant's superb acting skills, the Lord of Chester openly told some secrets to his men in front of him.

For example, the Lord of Chester is lobbying other kingdoms and city-states to rebel together and break away from the ruler of the Eternal Kingdom.

At any other time, this would be a proposal that would be sneered at.

Today's Eternal Kingdom is not the same as the Eternal Kingdom of the past. It no longer relies on the charm and power of the king to make the city-state kingdom surrender, but is conquered by absolute violence and fear.

No one dared to resist the absolute violence and fear. Even though there was only one lonely Camelot in the Eternal Kingdom, countless foreigners gathered around Camelot. As long as the queen gave an order, these foreigners could easily crush any city-state kingdom.

But this was not the case in the secret conversations heard by the goblin merchant. The lobbying of the Lord of Chester was not directly rejected or reported. Every invited Lord was wavering.

The reason is very simple. Camelot, as the royal city, has exploited other places too severely. In the short term, ordinary people in the city-state kingdom are affected. Over time, those in high positions will also be affected.

All it takes is one chance to form an alliance that will tear the Eternal Kingdom apart.

Judging from the most recent secret conversation, the Lord of Chester believes that the [opportunity] has appeared.

That was the sinking of the Eternal Avalon and the defeat of the powerful naval fleet. On the day when that majestic ship and countless other ships were built, almost all the city lords turned pale.

The power it displayed was like the sun that never set, and only the behemoths of the alliance between the Holy Cross Kingdom and the Giant Kingdom could stand against it.

But the [Eternal Avalon] sank, the fleet retreated, the Everqueen disappeared, and all the fairy ministers were destroyed. No matter what the specific reasons were, [failure] was tens of thousands of times more dazzling than [victory].

Camelot was badly damaged. Even though the tyrant, the Everqueen, had returned, the tyrant's ears and eyes - the goblin ministers were gone, and her minions - the foreigners in the knight ranks seemed to be shaken by this huge failure.

Perhaps some foreigners do not care, but the city lords know people's hearts well, and can see that some foreigners have begun to waver and lose their sense of belonging to the Knight Ranking group. Not to mention that not all foreigners enjoy the benefits of the Knight Ranking, and most of them are just like the oppressed city-states and kingdoms, and can only see others' glamorous appearance.

The first drop of blood shed by God can give people the courage to resist, not to mention that God was seriously injured and sitting in front of them extremely weakly.

Even without a knife in hand, people cannot control the urge to kill gods.

"Although it was only a verbal promise, I can see their eyes and hear their emotions. They have decided to take advantage of Camelot's severe damage to launch a rebellion."

"And they have reasons that can attract more city-state alliances to join them. They are enforcing justice on behalf of heaven, punishing the witch who usurped and defiled the Eternal Kingdom, and rebuilding the once ideal Eternal Kingdom."

The Goblin Merchant pulled a piece of red cloth from his pocket and handed it to Blaze.

"They said all you have to do is wear a red cape."

"Red cloak? Red..." Blaze took the cloth, rubbed it with his fingers, and an image of a red dragon raising its head in the sky appeared in his mind.

"Red dragon cloaks, they must have a large number of red dragon cloaks. They will wear the cloaks and claim to be descendants of the Knights of the Eternal King. What a calculation." Blaze clenched the red cloth in his hand.

The stories of the Sword in the Stone, the Knights of the Round Table, the Holy Grail, and the Eternal King have never faded and have always been passed down among people on earth.

That is people's longing and desire for legendary stories, but for the people in the Third Kingdom who have been suffering from years of war, their understanding of the Eternal King is "this man almost ended the war in the Third Kingdom."

The city-state kingdom that was once conquered by the Eternal King briefly felt the taste of peace. The sparse and ordinary daily life for the Holy Cross Kingdom and the Giant Kingdom Alliance was like a dream for them, and this dream-like beauty was awakened at the moment Camelot was lost.

In the Third Kingdom region, the symbol of the Eternal King is the red dragon that contrasts with the sky.

Although the Eternal Kingdom has reappeared today, and although the Third Kingdom region is close to being unified again, the people within it do not feel any sense of peace.

Camelot simply oppressed all of them, unwilling to put any effort into connecting the city-states and kingdoms, and simply exploited them. The chaos remained, and the lives they led became even more difficult.

Now, whenever the Red Dragon Cloak appears, people in the Third Kingdom will follow it.

But just putting on the red dragon cloak is not enough, as that can only gain the support of the common people. The other wavering city lords, the knights and the army under their command will not be willing to follow just because of a cloak. Something more overwhelming is needed, something that will make everyone lose their minds and really believe that they are the successors of the Knights of the Eternal King.

The great wizard Merlin, and the natural king holding the holy sword.

It is not surprising that Merlin, the AI ​​of the Ark, will appear at any time. If the city lords are smart, they can forge a Merlin themselves. However, it is not so easy to forge a natural king holding the holy sword.

The two holy swords representing the Eternal King, the Sword in the Stone that belongs to the King is in Morgan's hand, and the other is in his hand.

Blaze subconsciously stroked the broken steel sword at his waist. The sword was like a beautiful lake. When he touched it, a mysterious light rippled on the sword.

It is not surprising that [Justice] fired the first shot in the liberation war, but the question is what Merlin, as the Ark's AI, can gain from it. In fact, whether there is Merlin's intervention or not, this war will break out sooner or later.

Theresa pushed the door open and came in. She was much calmer.

"Have you ever heard of the white dragon in the story of the Eternal King?"

Chapter 1238 Disaster White Dragon

[White Dragon], to be precise, [white] is a rather special word. It is a color and also a symbol.

As a color, white stands out too much in the natural environment.

It was not snow-white hair like the white rabbit, but pure white, as conspicuous as if the colorful canvas of the world was painted with white paint.

Just like a torch in the dark, it will become the target of everyone's criticism. Seeking benefits and avoiding harm is the instinct of any life. Even the most powerful monsters will never have white fur, but camouflage that matches the surrounding colors, which also symbolizes their origin.

In a sense, the colors of life, like belly buttons, indicate that they have a source.

But on the other hand, if there is a life form that is powerful enough to change nature and has no source, then it will have snow-white skin or scales.

[White Dragon Vortigern] is an ancient dragon with white scales.

Although there are many kinds of white dragons, in fact, the colors of those white dragons are not pure white, but have a little gray in them.

Unlike other world-class bosses that are hidden and can only be found after completing prerequisite tasks, the White Dragon Vortigern world boss appeared as Camelot floated up, and attacked Camelot as soon as it appeared.

Its power is on the lower end among world-class BOSSes, at LV300.

Although he possesses a variety of extraordinary skills, he is still some distance away from the evil Titans and even the Nemean Giants.

Therefore, the White Dragon Vortigern is one of the few world bosses that was defeated by a foreigner in a single challenge. The one who defeated it was the Dragon Fist Master Seftelon. Now it is hanging on the Dragon Fist Master's waist as a belt of honor.

However, where this white dragon came from and what kind of relationship it has with Camelot has not been figured out yet. Instead, the foreigners have an expression of "So that's how it is" and "Not surprising".

"Why did you mention the white dragon Vortigern? Is it related to the Eternal King?"

"It was a dragon born in the Third Kingdom, destined to be defeated by the Eternal King. It was lost because of the fall of Camelot, and revived because of the rise of Camelot."

"But wasn't it already killed by the Dragon Fist User?"

"Yes, that brave warrior defeated the white dragon, but he only defeated the white dragon Vortigern in the era of the Eternal King." Theresa looked solemn as she placed pieces of hand-painted paper on the table and stacked them up to form a large map.

This is the territorial map of the Third Kingdom.

"There is more than one white dragon Vortigern, is it a clan?" Blaze's eyes twitched.

"It's not just one, but something even more terrifying." Theresa raised her hand and tapped the map on the table, whispering.

"It has always been in the sight of living beings, but it is too large, and living beings walking behind it cannot notice it."

"You saw something similar not long ago, the golden dragon."

The only one that could fight against the golden dragon in Blaze's memory was Golden Fafnir.

That monster, formed by the fusion of countless souls who were chasing gold and gold, stood in the ice and snow in the form of an ancient dragon.

"The White Dragon Vortigern is a similar thing. What is attached to what..." Blaze was stunned and understood the reason why the White Dragon Vortigern was born.

Golden Fafnir is the greed for gold and is composed of gold, so what is the white dragon Vortigern?

Just think about what is prevalent in the Third Kingdom: chaos, fear, insecurity, all emotions that stem from war.

So what is the carrier of these emotions? What can be compared to the cursed gold? It is the earth itself. Perhaps using another more specific word to describe it would be more specific.

It's a totem.

The war between city-state kingdoms had already begun before the Third Kingdom region was even planned out.

Humankind's wars have little by little carved this land into the shape of a dragon. Not only that, even the emotions contained in it have been carved into every scale and claw of the dragon, making the dragon appear lifelike.

As big as the Third Kingdom is, this dragon of war and disaster is as big as it is a totemic incarnation that is about to be resurrected.

But it is not completely a totem incarnation, it is far more complex than a totem incarnation, so the energy generated by the earth-shaking is not enough to make it stand up. That only gives it strength, and it still lacks the most important emotion, that is, its essence and soul.

Blaze took out stones and placed them on the map at the locations of the city-state kingdoms. Each stone was located at a key part of the white dragon. All the cities connected together formed the white dragon Vortigern.

Blaze slowly closed his eyes, and in the dark world, a guiding red line crossed the large map on the desktop.

If the connected cities are the skeleton, then the red line is the flesh. Blood flows at high speed on the map, and blood vessels weave and interweave. A giant dragon crawling on the ground, seemingly ready to get up at any time, appears.

What's ominous is that Camelot is located in the heart of the dragon.

It was as if the dragon's heart had just returned to its place and was beating again, and the dragon was awakening from its long sleep.

What is still lacking is probably a war of the same level as the unification war that the Eternal King completed back then, and this will soon be completed.

"Is a white dragon that spans two plates enough to be used as the flesh and blood of the Mechanical Giant?"

"If it's half a body, it's enough."

Blaze exhaled lightly.

"It seems that Merlin was most likely behind the decision of those city lords and overlords to start a war."

Theresa's hands clenched and she opened her mouth, but said nothing.

If it were Maria, she would definitely refute at this time, and she would be very sure to believe that Ark AI would not do such a thing. But her certainty would not be based on the three principles of robotics, but more emotional, like a mother's trust in her child.

But she is not Maria, and the fact is that the Ark AI is causing trouble in the Third Kingdom region.

"I, I want you to leave the investigation of the wreckage of the Ark and the white dragon Vortigern to me."

"it is good."

"Huh?" Theresa was stunned by Blaze's answer without hesitation. She boasted that there were many loopholes in her performance, especially after knowing the special relationship between Ark AI and Maria. She didn't believe that Blaze didn't know that she had compassion.

"Just give it to me like that? Isn't this some kind of Stranger-style counter-routine? Pretend to give it to me, then secretly follow me, waiting for me to make a mistake?"

Blazer didn't say anything more, but took Theresa's hand and placed the backup database given to him by the Pope in her hand.

"Do you need me to tell you what you can do yourself?"

Chapter 1239 Red Dragon and White Dragon

Camelot, the capital of the Eternal Kingdom.

This place has been extremely prosperous since its construction, as if it was born rich and the center of everything. The people here are not rich, but they always live a comfortable life.

Now it is a bit desolate here, and nothing seems to have changed, but the ordinary people living here have become silent and uneasy, as if they can foresee the danger in advance.

When animals sense that a disaster is coming, they will run away. Humans are also animals.

But people will not run away from their homes.

Camelot became desolate, and the palace became silent and empty, with only the tapping of heels echoing.

Morgan returned here, she looked at the throne and lamented the trick that fate had played on her.

She once had no regard for this throne, and devoted herself to the pursuit of the ultimate in magic, even upgrading from a human to a fairy in the lake. But when someone sat on this throne, she wanted it again, and she wanted it so much that she went crazy and even turned into a witch.

But when she successfully sat on the throne, she lost her power and was in constant fear of being coerced by the goblin ministers. It was like she was being punished for her past mistakes.

She didn't want the throne.

After finally escaping, she came back.

Thinking about it now, she was just angry and jealous at first. She was not jealous that the Eternal King had the throne, but that the Eternal King ascended the throne in the spotlight, and everyone was praising him.

Morgan walked up the steps step by step, turned around and slowly sat on the throne, leaning against the hard and cold backrest, and sighed softly.

"It's really uncomfortable to sit down."

"You can ask the stranger to customize one for you. They have a hot-selling product recently called the doghouse sofa." Blaze looked around between the thrones. It was much less popular than he had imagined.

This is not surprising, as the Eternal King rarely uses this place. He always discusses important matters with the knights at the round table. This huge throne room is used to meet with envoys from other countries who have not yet surrendered.

And now, Morgan is the only one sitting here.

"Doghouse? Sounds good." Morgan crossed his legs, supported his chin with his hands and looked down at the entire throne room.

"This ruin, which has never appeared since birth, is like a punishment given to me, telling me that I destroyed everything created by the Eternal King with my own hands. But unfortunately, this has nothing to do with me."

"What's there to be sorry about?"

"If all of this was caused by me, then my death would be clear and justified. Now I am just a victim, and now I have to take the blame for those damn goblin ministers."

Morgan kicked her legs hard, kicking off the annoying high heels that were rubbing her feet, and her skirt was lifted up. She hated the high heels as much as she hated the chair under her buttocks, which only looked good but were not comfortable at all.

Blaze raised his hand and caught the shoe. Considering that Morgan didn't like it, he didn't return it, but placed the shoe at the foot of the steps of the throne.
