Ian controlled his tone, trying not to make Boudica uncomfortable.

After all, this is equivalent to saying that there is something wrong with the place where she "lives", which is somewhat offensive.

And really speaking——

Whether Boudica will believe it or not is another matter.

However, completely different from what Ian expected, Boudica not only did not doubt his words, but accepted it all very quickly.

She looked at the soldiers who were still fighting against the dark shadows outside the Great Wall and sighed.

"I see - there's something wrong with this world."

"Then everything is explained clearly now."

"Ok?"

Boudica's tone made Ian sense something was wrong.

He then asked; "Queen Boudica, what do you mean by this?"

"..."

Boudica's gaze returned to the three people in front of her, and finally landed on Ian.

"I saw the fight you just had."

"That gun is really powerful. It can actually destroy so many shadows in an instant. This is not something that ordinary people can do."

"You're too kind." Ian and others praised each other. "To be honest, the queen who can organize so many soldiers is actually a truly powerful person."

"And if I'm not mistaken... you should have been resisting like this for a long time, right?"

Ian wasn't just guessing.

This group of soldiers who obeyed Boudica's command were definitely not trained in a short period of time, and their extremely skilled handling of the situation had already proved this.

"Yes." Boudica nodded. "It has been about a year, right?"

"..."

Based on the time period that BB had answered before, Ian silently deduced the source of all this.

almost.

It was exactly me at that time...

"Queen Boudica, can I have a word?" Tamamonomae suddenly spoke at this time.

"Of course." Boudica smiled. "By the way, you don't have to call me Queen. Simply calling me Boudica sounds much better."

"That--"

"Boudica." Tamamonomae looked at the majestic queen.

"You just said that you have been resisting like this for more than a year... Then can I understand that these shadows have been attacking this great wall under our feet for more than a year?"

"You can say yes, you can say no."

Boudica replied, then picked up a bow and arrow beside her.

She drew her bow and a fire dragon flew forward, then accurately knocked down a black shadow and burned it to ashes.

"In fact, the place where we first saw these shadows was much farther away than it is now."

"Much farther."

"Yes." Boudica nodded to Tamamonomae, "It will probably take a few more days to drive from the Great Wall?"

Is it farther than the place I was teleported from before?

Ian thought so as Boudica continued to explain.

"That's where we first saw these shadows. If it hadn't been daybreak, I'm afraid it would have been another fierce battle."

"What does this have to do with dawn?" Tamamonomae asked, "Will they be completely destroyed at dawn?"

“It cannot be said to be completely eliminated.”

Boudica pursed her chin and recalled for a long time.

"It's just that the shadows will retreat against the sunlight, as if they are afraid of seeing it. In this situation, I referred to the technology handed down from Rome and tried my best to build it under your feet as quickly as possible."

"In this way, the people of Britannia can safely resist this strange thing."

It turned out that it was Boudica who supervised the work.

It was not surprising that it was completed ahead of schedule - after all, her appeal was beyond imagination. Although she might not be able to do as well as the Romans, at least there was a possibility of completion.

At this moment, Ian thought of Chaldea's original positioning.

If Hadrian's Wall is the border of Britannia, then the place where the three people were first teleported to should not belong to Britannia.

unless--

There is something that has yet to be revealed.

"Boudica, may I ask you one more question..." Ian looked at the queen in front of him.

"Does the territory of Britannia only extend to the long wall beneath our feet?"

This was a building that Rome started for Britannia during Nero's reign in order to enable it to defend against enemies from the north. Unexpectedly, it now plays another role.

According to common sense, this should indeed be the true "border" of Britannia. However, Boudica shook her head and then began to describe her own achievements with a little pride.

"of course not."

"This is just the margin the Romans set for me."

Having said that, Boudica pointed to the outside of the Great Wall where dark shadows were rolling.

"I have led them to fight far beyond this place."

Having said that, Boudica looked at Ian deliberately, and then continued:

"I just said that I won't invade the Roman land. So there's no problem with external expansion, right?"

"..."

Ian finally understood most of the ins and outs at this moment.

Hadrian's Wall was indeed the northernmost border of Britannia, but after Boudica swore allegiance to the Romans, she wanted to expand her territory outward.

If you can't go south, then go north.

If the birth of these dark shadows had not forced her to turn back to protect her people, this heroic queen might indeed have been able to take control of the entire British Isles with those experienced warriors.

Right.

How could there be a queen who would willingly submit to others?

What's more, Boudica herself is a good wine lover, and after seeing the prosperity of Rome, she might have some ambitions.

Maybe--

What she is secretly pursuing is a situation where Britannia and Rome become a strong nation together, right?

Oh, how unexpected.

Just as Ian was sighing like this, Boudica suddenly asked Tamamonomae:

"that--"

"I have something I want to talk to your husband about alone. Is that okay?"

"Yes." Tamamonomae nodded, "Of course."

“That’s fine—!”

Boudica grabbed Ian's clothes and took him to a place away from his two "wives".

Then came a question that went straight to the man's heart.

Boudica, who was so majestic just now, was now blushing like a girl who had just walked out of her boudoir.

“Seneca.”

"Did you... hear the sound inside the amulet?"

Boudica is not someone who can be easily fooled.

The man in front of him who called himself Ian Pendragon was no different from the great sage named Seneca in his memory.

They are the same person.

The Queen of Britannia made her own judgment at this moment.

"..."

Listening to Boudica's speech at this moment, Ian realized that there seemed to be some errors in his judgment.

She still recognized herself and was not fooled.

and--

Judging from the other party's tone just now, the amulet given to him, which was said to be a prayer from the goddess of victory Andrast, contained some very strange secrets.

"Boudica, you mean..."

"What does the voice in the amulet mean?"

"that is……"

Seeing that the man in front of her did not refute her words, Boudica felt a little more confident.

She continued quickly:

"Didn't I tell you... as long as you have that amulet, you can use it to contact me immediately when you and Nero encounter problems."

"And then—?" the man asked.

"Then... I just want to know if you have listened carefully to the sounds inside so far."

After saying this, the Queen of Britannia seemed to have thought of something that made her extremely shy, and she became quite unnatural.

Although they were just small changes, Ian noticed them completely.

After all, Boudica didn't look like this when she was in front of Tamamonomae and Mashu just now.

Based on this attitude, he vaguely guessed what the voice he did not hear was about.

Perhaps there is something hidden in it that Boudica cannot say directly, but wants herself to know.

"I'm sorry, Boudica, I haven't heard what it says yet - is it important to you?"

"..."

Boudica's emerald green eyes widened a little when she heard Ian's answer, but soon returned to normal as if she had figured it out.

She smiled self-deprecatingly:

"That's right... You don't have to listen to what's inside."

"Nero can do anything, so you won't think of me."

"Oh, I'm so stupid. I actually thought you came to Britannia because you heard the noise inside. Now it seems that I was just overthinking."

"..."

Ian felt a little sorry for Boudica.

I didn't say a word, but she had already described the whole cause and effect clearly.

Obviously, this behavior, like the archers on the Great Wall, has been practiced countless times.

"Boudica, so what's inside... can't you just tell me?"

"..."

Boudica's face flushed a little, which seemed to be the reaction when she thought of something difficult to talk about.

"Seneca, do you really want to know?"

"Of course." Ian smiled. "You've come this far. If I don't figure it out now, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep for the rest of my life."
