London, British Deputy Minister for Magic Hermione.
Simple.
Ms.
Veles's apartment.Dobby, the house-elf of Merlin, the Lord of Hell and the commander of the Leprechaun combat unit, is busy in the kitchen.It's preparing lunch for Merlin and the new arrivals.This should have been done by Hermione's house-elves.But the elf followed Hermione's daughter Rose back to the Burrow these days, and the kitchen of the house was basically a furnishing.Fortunately, Dobby was also very good at cooking before he became a good auxiliary combat agent.It's an instinct etched into each leprechaun's body, so the smell of food quickly fills the living room between the tinkling of pots and pans.Those vivid scents made the thinking of King Arthur, who was telling the story of the past, a slight break.The swordswoman was persuaded by Hermione to take off her armor and wear a white and blue filled aristocratic dress, and her long blond hair was tied up.Ignoring the long sword that was always at hand, this famous heroic spirit looked quite like a lady.King Arthur, uh, maybe it's more appropriate to call her Artoria.The short, blonde girl had just introduced herself, and because she was dead and her kingdom was crumbling, she didn't want Hermione and Merlin to call her "King Arthur".Feeling a little guilty by that title, she called herself Artoria.
Pendragon.A female swordsman who has been summoned from time to be awakened.Artoria's fingers caressed over the mechanical sword in the sunlight outside the window, her turquoise eyes swelling with memories, she sat across from Merlin, Hermione sat at the hands of the two, and Icarus stood behind Merlin, the glasses Lady's information-gathering program kept on to record the story described by King Arthur."
It was the eighth year after I became king, and the barbarians on the continent once again crossed the sea to invade the ancestral land of the Celts, and the flames of war were once again ignited in the south."
The grammar of female swordsmen is a little archaic, but fortunately Merlin and Hermione are both erudite people, and this ancient language does not prevent them from listening to stories.Well, the voice of this female swordsman with a pinch of golden gray hair on her head is quite nice.There is a hint of seriousness in the coldness, like the syllables of raindrops."
The messenger brought the news of the war to the holy city of Camelot, and I set out with my knights from the holy city to the land of Wales to intercept the barbarian attack.""
But that's a trap."
Artoria shook her head, a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes, and she said, "The invading barbarians are only a small force, and they appeared to allow me and my knights to enter the preset battlefield, and at the same time as we entered the battlefield, tens of thousands of barbarians landed on the coast of Wales. ”"To make matters worse, the barbarians didn't come alone.""
They made an alliance with the dark wizards in the country in advance, and a witch with a close relationship with me mixed up in the battlefield and released a curse on me, so that I could not use the power of the scabbard to protect my knights.""
I, Gawain and Lancelot, along with thousands of knights, were flanked at both ends, suffering heavy casualties."
Speaking of this, Merlin suddenly stretched out his hand and interrupted Artoria's description, he looked at the female swordsman, and he said, "The witch who has a great relationship with you is your sister, the black witch Morgan Lefey?"
”Artoria didn't answer, she just glanced at Merlin with a complicated expression.This look meant that Merlin's guess was correct.The legend of Morgan Le Fay and King Arthur is a perennial topic among wizards, even in orthodox history, and it is not difficult to guess it."
You go ahead."
Merlin made a "please" gesture."
We retreated all the way inland, but in order to protect the people, we ended up in the forests of Glamorgan, where the barbarians intended to wipe us out once and for all."
Artoria's fingers tapped lightly on the mechanical longsword.In the crisp sound of the sword, she said, "It was at that critical moment that I got this sword, and it was brought to me by my mysterious friend, Merlin." ”"Merlin?"
The Raven Maharaja's expression was slightly strange.It wasn't the first time he'd come into contact with a great wizard with the same name as him.In his current collection is a fragmented text of an ancient druid, supposedly a fragment of the Book of the Beast once held by the Great Wizard Merlin.He looked at Artoria and said, "You mean, Merlin the wizard, has been in contact with the Cybertrons?"
”"Yes."
The swordswoman answered the question head-on, saying, "I also learned after the fact that Merlin had met the mechanical giants from the stars when he was an apprentice in magic, and had become a human they trusted. ”"He often collects strange mechanical devices from all over the continent, and I initially thought it was due to a magician's curiosity about machinery, but no, it was the 'medicinal herbs' he collected for his robot friends to repair their injuries.""
Anyway, when we were about to be annihilated, Merlin rushed into battle alone...", Artoria's eyes shone with a strange light, and she said, "Until now, I will never forget that day on the battlefield." ”"He was riding on a white warhorse, wielding a blue-glowing mechanical scepter in his hand, and a massive mechanical dragon with three heads followed the sky behind him!
Its roar caused the barbarians to lose their souls and panic. ”"Wherever Merlin's scepter pointed, the dragon attacked.""
Flames, explosions, steel claws and giant tails, he single-handedly blocked the attack of tens of thousands of barbarians for us.And my knights and I, under the cover of the dragon's heavenly fire spewing from the sky, charged at the routed enemy. ”"In just half a day, we ended the war."
The female swordsman held the mechanical longsword, her fingers flicking lightly on the hilt, and as the mechanical symbol on the hilt was turned to the correct position, the mechanical longsword also emitted a humming sound.Blue energy poured out from the hilt of the sword, wrapping around the blade like a blue flame beating, causing the temperature in the room to rise rapidly."
It was also on that day, with Merlin's help, that I made an alliance with those mechanical giants.""12 mighty mechanical knights have joined my order, and I have supplied them with the steel of the whole country to repair their wounds, and when necessary, the mechanical giants have stepped into the battlefield to protect my country and its people.""
This sword is the symbol of the covenant."
Artoria said, "I also call it the 'Sword of Oath Victory.'" ”"Of course, I also had a longsword with the same name, and that was my own saber, but it's a symbol, and I'm sure you can understand it."
Hermione nodded, and at her hand, an unheld quill slid quickly across her notebook to record the interesting story.Merlin, on the other hand, thinks more about it.He knew the story of King Arthur and the Cybertrons, but his doubts were not solved.He looked at Artoria in front of him, he pondered for a moment, and asked, "But as far as I know, at the time of the Battle of the Sword Fence, when you were betrayed and killed by your son, the rebellious knight Mordred, those robot knights did not appear. ”"Because they follow the covenant and don't interfere in my family's affairs."
Artoria sighed, and she lowered her head, as if remembering her final battle.After a dozen seconds of silence, she said: "I don't blame them, that defeat stemmed from my character flaw, Merlin warned me about it early on, but I was blinded by victory after victory, and my defeat was inevitable." ”"Also, Mordred isn't my son."
The swordswoman looked up, and in the fluttering of the hairs on her head, she explained earnestly: "She is a female knight in disguise, just like me, and her birth is also the same as mine, which was made with a special magic spell. ”"A king needs a successor for the country to be truly stable.""
Okay."
Merlin nodded.Icarus, beside him, glanced at Artoria with a strange gaze.Some legendary kings are superficially beautiful, but secretly they are like her, and they will make a child for themselves..."
After your death, the Cybertrons ended their covenant and returned to the Ark of the Deep...
But what I'm more curious about is whether the connection between the Grand Wizard Merlin and them continues?
”Merlin said, "Can you help me?"
”"That connection is over."
The swordswoman replied, "Merlin said goodbye to me in the holy city of Camelot one night two years before the Battle of the Sword Rail, saying that the life of a court wizard was not for him, and that he was going to travel to distant lands to see more scenery and learn more knowledge. ”"He planned a funeral for himself, placing the scepter given to him by the mechanical giants in a sarcophagus and escorting him into the deep sea by 12 mechanical knights...", Artoria recalls her memories of the past, and she said to Merlin, "He said that the scepter came from the steel ark buried in the deep sea, and it must return there." ”"And after that, I haven't seen my friend Merlin again."
After listening to Artoria's explanation, Merlin and Icarus glanced at each other.When the Scourge first came to Earth, on Quintasha's orders, he searched for two things, the leadership module and the mechanical scepter, the leadership module has been placed in the wasteland, and now it seems that the scepter may still be in the Ark that was blown up and disappeared.Those 12 legendary warriors of Ancient Cybertron are probably the 12 Knights of the Iron Round Table that Artoria has seen, and they are there to protect more than just the leadership module."
Merlin's mechanical scepter, you've probably seen it more than once, is there anything special about it?"
Raven Maharaja asked again.The swordswoman rubbed her forehead and said, "I've seen Merlin use it several times, and the most vivid memory is that after a great earthquake in York area, Merlin used that scepter to unleash an extremely special magic. ”"Describe it in detail."
The Maharaja sat up straight and said, "I need all the news about that mechanical scepter, Artoria, for this is about a catastrophe that the world is about to experience. ”"Does the Lord of Hell also care about the mortal world?"
Artoria looked at Merlin in amazement, and said, "In my time, the demons that poured out of hell were the most troublesome things, and Merlin and I had faced Mephistopheles who was causing trouble in the world...
That big devil is your own kind, right?
”"It's not."

The Maharaja said with a gentle face, "It is my enemy, the kind that must be killed."
In fact, all but a few of my friends who live in Hell are my enemies. ”"You don't know my story, Artoria, please don't judge me casually, I'm not the same as the hellish creatures you know...""
Anyway, answer my question, about the mechanical scepter."
The swordswoman apparently didn't believe Merlin's words, and she glanced back at her master.Hermione nodded at her and whispered, "You can trust Brother Merlin as you believe me." ”"Merlin?"
Because Merlin had never introduced himself, it wasn't until this time that Artoria learned the Raven Maharaja's name.Her turquoise eyes blinked, and she looked back at Merlin seriously, and after a few seconds, she shook her head and said, "Although you have the same name, you are not the same, you are more serious, more gloomy, well, and not as handsome as my friend Merlin...""
Okay, about the scepter."
The Knight King leaned back on the comfortable sofa, stretched her beautiful body, and then said with some disgrace, "I saw Merlin plunge it into the ground and draw the power of the earth to repair the cities and valleys torn apart by the great earthquake, and that scene was like a myth, but afterwards, Merlin explained to me that it was not his own power. ”"It's that special scepter that communicates with the earth and borrows the power of the world's essence.""
I have touched the scepter with Merlin's permission, and it's...
How so?
It's very delicate, it feels like a work of art, and those patterns engraved on the steel move, just like this sword. ”Artoria raised the mechanical longsword in her hand, touched the pattern of the hilt again, as if dialing a Rubik's cube, and in the sound of mechanical collision, the longsword quickly changed back to the form of a metal crest.A round discus, but the rust on the surface has completely disappeared, and it looks like a brand new handicraft."
Hmm."
The Raven Lord nodded.At this point, the news he needed was obtained.Quintasha needed the scepter, and in a sense, she wasn't deceiving the Scourge.She could indeed draw the power of the Earth to reshape the shattered Cybertron, but Merlin felt that what she had to do after getting the scepter should not be as simple as she said."
What about the Knights of the Machines?"
Icarus suddenly asked, "Are there any items that can be recognized by the 12 Iron Knights, let's be honest, we have seen them before, but their attitude is not friendly." ”"This sword will do."
Artoria said, "With this sword in hand, probably the Iron Knights will not attack you." ”"Also, while I was still alive, I appointed an Earl of Fogen to manage the affairs of the Knights of the Machines, and if he still has any descendants, then they must have some relics from that year there.""
Speaking of which."
Merlin stood up suddenly, and said to Artoria, "I thought that after you were resurrected, you would go on a killing spree in this country, after all, your former land has been occupied by the descendants of the barbarian invaders of the past. ”"No interest, my country is long dead, and I am already dead.As a dead person, there is no reason to dwell on the past, it is meaningless. ”"I've also studied history, and the world will always change, whether we want it or not."
Artoria rubbed her belly, and the very ladylike knight king looked back at her master, and she said quite freely, "When is the feast, I'm hungry." ”()
