In the corner of the alley, a blonde girl was cautiously peering in his direction, and looking outside with some caution, as if she was afraid of being discovered by the patrolling knights.

The girl wore a brown top hat, had smooth blonde hair, blue eyes, and her slender legs were wrapped in translucent black stockings.

However, she had a veil covering her face, making it impossible to see her appearance clearly.

Well, although I can't see the face, this black stocking looks a little familiar...

"Lenice...?"

Alvin quickly recognized the other person's identity and asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"

Lanis, like Alvin, studies at the Clock Tower. Although they study different subjects, they are friends who can talk to each other.

As soon as she heard Alvin speak, the girl's eyes lit up with joy, as if she had met an old friend in a foreign land.

But she quickly reacted and immediately stepped forward to pull Alvin into the alley.

Lanis glanced around warily and quickly whispered, "It's not safe here. Let's go somewhere else."

Alvin was slightly startled, then nodded calmly.

"it is good……"

Although that's what he said, as long as he didn't activate the special power of the 'Night Watch', that person would probably have noticed it the moment they stepped into the city of Camelot, right?

No... If you must say it, then he is not a human being at all.

That's the monster called 'Nightmare'.

……

The royal city of Camelot.

Deep inside the palace.

Altria gently rubbed her brows and put the documents in her hand on the desk.

Then, he slowly raised his eyes and looked at the white-haired wizard in front of him.

"It's so rare to see you here today, what's going on...teacher?"

A man in a wizard's robe and with lazy white hair sat at the table and sighed helplessly, "Lily, ever since his death, you've become more and more wary of me."

"Actually, you could trust me a little more sometimes... It really hurts me to see you being so cold."

Merlin, the court mage of the Camelot Empire, is also Altria's 'teacher'.

It stands to reason that as a sentimental person like Altria, she should have great respect for Merlin.

Yet, for some reason, when facing this white-haired wizard, she simply said coldly, "You came to me about the time traveler, right?"

During this period of time, many time travelers have appeared in the Camelot Empire... Some of these time travelers have traveled through time by soul, while others have traveled through time by body.

It's no wonder that even Merlin couldn't sit still. After all, if it was just body possession, it would be fine, but soul possession means that he would randomly take over the "soul" of someone in the empire.

No one knows now whether the people whose bodies these time travelers take over after their souls travel through time and space include some great nobles of the Camelot Empire.

Merlin smiled slightly and said, "I really can't hide anything from you, Lily."

"Actually, it's not just about the time traveler... I heard that a girl who looks a lot like you and Morgan came to the palace today. Can I meet her?"

Altria glanced at Merlin lightly, but finally said "hmm".

Over the years, Artoria has always held a grudge against Merlin...and a big part of the reason is that Merlin actually had some credit for Alvin's death.

Merlin could be said to have been a witness to Alvin's killing of the nobleman, and even to all his subsequent plans... He was even secretly fanning the flames.

To the court wizard of Camelot, Alvin's death was of little importance.

The only thing that matters is that Altria becomes the real King Arthur.

It was precisely because Altria later learned the truth that she, who once had great respect for Merlin, was now so cold to him.

But even so, at this special moment... Merlin's clairvoyance came in handy.

After all, his eyes are clairvoyant, able to observe the 'present'.

"Let the girl named Gray come over." Altria ordered the maid at the door.

Merlin saw this and shrugged helplessly. He smiled and said, "Lily, I know you're still angry with me, but death is often inevitable."

"I can't do anything about Alvin. After all, his death... is actually destined."

After all, only after Alvin's death can the girl named 'Altria' be completely buried, and King Arthur can truly dominate the Camelot Empire.

Merlin quickly smiled and said, "As compensation, I'll help you see how many time travelers there are in the royal city right now. What do you think?"

Seeing that Altria did not answer, Merlin just smiled slightly, and then slowly raised his eyes.

The entire city of Camelot seemed to be reflected in those deep, star-like purple eyes.

"One... two... three... six... ten..."

"Tsk, it looks like there aren't just people from the Clock Tower... Are there also travelers from other forces?"

Merlin sighed in admiration, and with a mentality of playing life, he casually scanned the various aspects of life in the royal city of Camelot with his clairvoyance.

Then at some point, he inadvertently glanced at the entrance of an alley and saw a blonde girl.

"Wow, looking at the way he's dressed, could he be a time traveler wearing...?"

"From what I've seen so far, the ratio of body and soul should be about 1:10?"

"The person next to her seems to be wearing the same outfit. They look like they're her companions—"

Merlin's voice stopped abruptly before he could finish his words, as if he had seen something.

At first he thought it was an illusion, so he stared at a certain direction as if to confirm it again.

After repeated confirmation, the calm smile on the white-haired wizard's face finally froze bit by bit.

Is this the return of that guy's ghost...?

Chapter 7 The one who immediately rushed to the battlefield was——!

After about ten minutes of walking, Alvin and Lanise quickly found a small room to stay in the city.

After closing the door, the two began to analyze the current situation.

From the known information, we can know that a large number of time travelers have appeared in the Camelot Empire today, and these time travelers do not seem to come only from the Clock Tower.

It seems that there are magicians from other eras as well.

These time travelers are divided into two types: 'soul travel' and 'body travel'.

The person whose soul is transported will directly replace someone in the Camelot Empire, while the person whose body is transported will come directly into this world with his own body.

Alvin, Gray, and Lanis all appeared in the Camelot Empire in clothing.

At this moment, Lanis was sitting on a wooden chair beside her, her long legs wrapped in black stockings slightly together, and under her knee-length skirt, she was wearing a pair of delicate and small deerskin boots, swinging back and forth.

"So, you're also 'wearing' like me?"

Soon, the girl spoke.

Not far from Lanise, Alvin leaned against the wall, hummed softly, and said, "I am indeed wearing... Lanise, you should be able to see a string of numbers in front of you now, right?"

"Countdown?"

After Lanis finished asking, she saw Alvin nod slightly, and a thoughtful look appeared on her beautiful face: "It seems that our experience is exactly the same... But now we have to wait until the countdown ends to find out what this means."

"I really want to go back soon... I kind of miss the cake shop near the clock tower. I heard that many time travelers have been captured and interrogated."

As she spoke, the blonde girl couldn't help but sigh, holding her cheeks with her hands: "King Arthur seems to be much stricter than the legend says."

After all, Lily is probably already a 'dark version' now... Alvin's silence is golden.

If it were the Artoria of the past, she would probably use more gentle means to deal with these sudden travelers.

But now she... After Alvin's "heroine training" plan, Artoria has been completely transformed.

The former Altria is dead, and now the only one alive is the Lion King, Altria Pendragon!

At this time, Lanis continued, "Our most urgent task now is to find other companions... I think there should be more than just the two of us who have traveled through the Clock Tower."

"It would be great if the Clock Tower's Lord could also travel through time... If they were all students, it would be difficult for us to resist on our own."

When she said this, Lanis looked a little worried.

Each of the monarchs of the Clock Tower is an extremely good magician. In Lanis's opinion, if there were a monarch present, the situation of the time travelers might not be so passive.

Alvin didn't say anything. He knew very well that even if there was a "monarch" among the traversers, it would probably be quite difficult.

You have to know that this is the Camelot Empire, which had not yet completely declined during the Age of Gods.

In the present world, the Clock Tower is indeed an extremely powerful place.

but--

There are very few modern magicians who can truly compete with the Camelot Empire...

"You haven't said anything since a while ago. Can you give me some advice?"

At this moment, Lanis sighed helplessly: "Alvin, I know you're used to slacking off in the Clock Tower, but this situation is very urgent right now, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Alvin couldn't help but spread his hands and said, "I really don't think modern magic can compete with these people from the Camelot Empire."

"After all, we don't have to become enemies with the Camelot Empire... If only someone could make it clear to King Arthur that we have no hostility."

Lanis raised her eyebrows slightly, crossed her left leg over her right leg, and dangled her black silk feet.

"That's the truth, but do you think King Arthur would listen to it?"

The blonde girl from the El-Melloi family tapped her fingertips on the table. "After all, will we ever have a chance to meet King Arthur?"

"...How about you go to the palace and explain to King Arthur that we have no ill will towards the Camelot Empire?"

By the end of her speech, there was a hint of joking in her tone.

If it were so easy to make King Arthur stop, the time travelers wouldn't have to hide all this time.

After all, the possibility of meeting King Arthur after being captured is extremely small.

"It's definitely useless for us to explain to her, but there are still people in this world who can persuade her." Alvin said with a smile.

"Who?" Lanis subconsciously looked up at the boy.

Alvin didn't say anything, just looked up and out the window.

To be precise, it was in the direction of Camelot Palace.

"Merlin."

he whispered.

……

Deep inside the Camelot Palace, at this moment, Merlin was looking at a certain direction in the royal city in confusion.

Soon, a name popped up in his mind.

Alvin...?

As the court wizard of the Camelot Empire, Merlin possesses the ability to see through the present.

Although according to him, these clairvoyances are not very useful, after all, they can neither see into the future nor the past...

but--

Merlin was able to deduce the future by observing the present.

Merlin had already seen Alvin's end when Alvin was born.

But now... this ghost who should have been dead appeared in front of him alive and kicking.

And from the looks of it, Alvin is not a summoned 'Heroic Spirit', but has descended in his own 'flesh and blood'.

"What's wrong? Did you see anything?"

At this moment, Altria's voice came from the side.

She turned her head slightly to look at the white-haired wizard beside her, her emerald green eyes were extremely deep.

Merlin, the nightmare, is a 'monster' who has no understanding of human emotions. Because of this, Altria has rarely seen such a shocked expression on Merlin's face from the past to the present.
