It is said that the hypothesis was put forward six years ago in the port town of Saint-Malo in the Brittany region of France. om

The author was the Demon King named Alexander Gascoigne.

"Can you repeat what you just said, Alexander?"

"Don't let me say it so many times. I think the legend of King Arthur is probably the catalyst that the first generation of Genivia spent many years preparing as the magic queen in medieval Europe. In order to complete a certain big magic. Or, It should be said to be a kind of magic square."

catalyst?Princess Alice, who is the audience, was puzzled.

It is a substance prepared to ensure the success rate when using a specific magic - such a thing is called a catalyst.

For example, the catalyst that can strengthen the 'sleep' technique is the powder of black lotus and rose petals.

"...Using the legend of King Arthur as a catalyst? To make what magic work?"

"The last king to appear in the world. It must be a ceremony to summon the strongest 'steel'."

Gascoigne said leisurely while cutting open the egg roll sandwiched with pigeon meat.

There was not a single plate of food in front of Alice.For her in phantom form, eating was meaningless.

"The ultimate goal of the ancestors is to bring the 'King of the End' back. That's the right technique, the ritual of summoning the 'God of Disobedience' from the realm of the undead, you know it too."

"Of course. Don't ask such stupid questions."

By the way, this great magic was carried out by the hands of the Marquis of Vauban two years later.

Using Wagner's 'Nibelungen Song' as a catalyst, Siegfried, the hero-god, was summoned.In the end, the result was that he was cut by the sword by the young Salvatore Tony, which made the old marquis furious.

"For this secret technique to succeed, it seems that three 'keys' are needed. One is a witch and a witch with excellent witch power. The second is a priest with an almost crazy will and strong desire for the coming of God. Simply put, an engineer The relationship between workers and workers, as well as the myth of the disobedient god summoned in order to be summoned, the kingdom of the earth and the stories widely circulated among people are indispensable 'building materials'."

God cannot exist without mythology.

If the myth changes.God is also affected.

Regarding Gascoigne's point of view, Alice nodded in understanding.

"The first and second ones can be done by the Demon Queen herself. But the last one...how incredible it is to create a myth by herself. Even if it can be completed, it will definitely require a huge accumulation of years. Word of mouth. So, the previous Genivia..."

"Yes. She also added herself to the myth, so as to facilitate the expansion and spread of Arthur's legend."

After moistening his throat with the wine he poured into the glass, Gascoigne continued.

"The Arthurian legend changed around the twelfth century, when the local hero, who was only fanatical in the British Isles, was promoted to France and then to all parts of Europe. The bards got the count of Anjou. As well as the courtiers of Aquitaine and the support of nobles who have a deep connection with the British royal family, they sang the story of King Arthur as if competing with each other, and wrote it."

"As a result, King Arthur became one of the few heroes in Europe. In short, Alexander. The previous generation of Genivia-sama spread the legend of King Arthur widely in order to attract the 'King of the Last', but the poets who praised the Knights of the Round Table actually passed through certain people at that time. People in power and underground forces did it on purpose, isn’t that right?”

Medieval Europe of the twelfth-thirteenth centuries.

At that time, there were already many writers who published the stories of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table.

There are also many people who write under pseudonyms, and most of their real names and experiences are unknown, but judging from those contents, there are also quite a few writers who are recognized as having profound knowledge of the occult.

"What you are concerned about is probably the Cistercian monk Chretien de Troya. Hartmann who participated in the Crusade. And Wolfram von Eschenbach Robert De .Bron... these poets?"

Alice listed in detail the names of several poets.

"The books they wrote, especially the parts related to the Holy Grail and chivalry. There is a lot of occult knowledge about the Templars scattered around."

"From the fact that many of those guys belonged to the Knights Templar, we can also find evidence that their mothers were members of the Sion School and the Cistercian Order. Moreover, most of the nobles who aided the poets were also associated with the Royal Knights of England. There is a deep connection."

Knights Templar.Officially known as 'The Poor Order of Christ and the Temple of Solomon'.

It is a group of magicians who built the foundation of European magic society.

"There should be some kind of connection between the Knights Templar and the previous Genivia. I'm afraid, for example, they taught the ancestors of the arts and knowledge. In fact, only those who are in the rank of holy knights can read it. In the key points of David’s words and holy levels of battle magic. There should be quite a few who have been influenced by witch studies. There are many witches in knight skins in Italy. Of course, there are also many pure witches, especially It's the one from Sardinia."

"Alexander. According to the Witch's Secrets that I have investigated, the previous generation of the sorceress Queen Genivia was killed by a godslayer that I encountered by chance around the end of the twelfth century."

"Sure enough, it was during that period. Personally, I think that Guinevia of the previous generation may have died before the conspiracy succeeded. It must have been caused by a setback when he recruited the 'King of the End'." Gascoigne Express your personal opinion.

"...Can it be considered that the present-day Lord Guinevia intends to inherit the previous generation's plan?".Alice hesitated for a moment.

"Ah, it must have failed." Gascoigne suddenly sighed.

"What do you mean?"

"No, judging from Arthur's summoning, she was successful. Although she is short-sighted and turns a blind eye to things she doesn't want to see, her ability as a god ancestor is excellent. However, it may be too late."

At this time, Gascoigne can be said to show a lonely expression.Already seen the answer to the puzzle that I have been working on for so long.The greatest purpose and entertainment is lost.Filled with the same loneliness as reluctantly.

"Nearly a thousand years have passed since the plan started. This period of time is a period of time for the birth of a 'new god'. Just imagine the origin of Thomas Mallory."

Sir Thomas Mallory, an English knight in the fifteenth century.

At that time, the protagonists on the battlefield were changing from knights to infantry equipped with artillery.

It was an era in which the knight class also declined in society and the royal power continued to strengthen.Mallory was also one of the fallen knights.Fallen, he was convicted of attempted assassination and rape.Robbers, livestock thieves, etc., repeatedly went to and escaped from prison.

In modern times, however, he is known as the author of 'The Death of King Arthur'.It is a well-known work that is the culmination of Arthurian legends.

"Mallory is not a magician. He is a rogue who refers to some pre-existing works—no, just join them according to the original appearance. However. The final version is indeed widely circulated among the people, and has achieved great success. developed independently."

"So during the millennia, King Arthur did not become the 'King of the End', but became the new God of War?"

"Ahhh. Even the writers of the Knights Templar have added precepts and philosophies that they themselves avoid in their works. The content of the story has surpassed the ideas of the former Dygenivia, and the legend has been fattened."

Gascoigne was now sounding almost regretful.

"The French royal family used the legend of Charlemagne to make the public widely aware of the authority of the royal family. The British royal family also followed suit, using it as a tool to strengthen the king's power and thoroughly using the legend of King Arthur. As a result, the whitewashing of the hero King Arthur continued. Gradually, it has become quite different from the original image.”

Charlemagne.King of France during the eighth and ninth centuries.Also known as Charlemagne.

The territory under it is not just present-day France.It even spread to Germany, Spain and Italy.He was the greatest overlord in medieval Europe.

However, he is not only a ruler in history.Charlemagne, with his twelve warriors.

He is the master of the magnificent legend of heroes who can stand side by side with King Arthur's Knights of the Round Table.

"It is the myth that constitutes the soul and flesh and blood of the gods. Since the myth of the hero King Arthur has changed, the hero who descended from this myth will of course also change. If you think so, it is a matter of course."

Finally gulping down the wine in the glass, Gascoigne ended the conversation.

The 'Arthur of Disobedience' who was summoned shortly afterwards proved the correctness of this assumption.Makes the contemporary Genivia fall into a semi-mad state.

This conversation that happened six years ago was relayed to Yu Lingyi by Princess Alice in Tokyo a month ago.

From then on, he was ready for everything.

But the person who is really responsible for handling this matter is Athena, the goddess of snakes.

"Be ashamed. Compatriots in the past. The descendants of our great mother and the steel that slaughtered dragons and snakes have been sworn enemies since the age of mythology. Do you still want to be that man's handmaiden? "The anger in the goddess' young pupils was shaking like a flame.

Compared to the real goddess, the Demon Queen is nothing more than a minor character.

However, Gnivia still spoke to Athena with her head held high.

"We are 'heroes' servants' who serve the warriors. Even the goddess Athena has a myth that her beloved daughter is served by Zeus, the great god of Greek mythology. If Mitsuko thinks this statement is wrong, please point it out."

"—Oh, it's quite sharp."

Athena narrowed her eyes and looked at Genivia unceremoniously.

"That man's handmaiden has always been a loyal person. No matter what era it is, it is something worthy of admiration!"

unexpected.Shenzu's rebuttal not only didn't anger her further, but made her anger dissipate a lot.

Athena is also a warrior woman in Greek mythology.Is she a character who will not hesitate to praise those who put their lives on the line?Obviously yes.

However, in this way, there is no possibility of showing mercy.

Combat is pure, anything but life is death.

In Ling Yi's words.That is: talk about it, say it without saying it, and say it without saying it.

"But forget it, I will hand you over to that guy. If he says it, I shouldn't disappoint me." After all, she is famous as the goddess of war. Athena smiled at the sky and glanced at the sky. The strange sight of lightning surrounded by dark clouds is a manifestation of the strong fighting spirit of a powerful enemy.

"——It is rumored that the man's retainer is you, right? Don't care about the difference in identity, if you are challenged by a gun, the concubine will respond with strength. If you treat the concubine as a little girl who doesn't know battlefield etiquette, then the concubine will But will be angry, because Athena is a god-sent son who died in struggle!"

Suddenly, Athena's body changed, as if she had grown a lot overnight, from a young girl to a girl around seventeen or eighteen years old, which was a manifestation of her going all out.

"I am so grateful for your forgiveness. I will bring down Athena with all my speed and strength. Please forgive me for the long battle of thousands of days and nights. This is Lancelot's style. Become the wind that blows wildly , become the speeding lightning, smashing the enemy in one breath. This is my etiquette."

Lightning pierced the dark clouds, no, it was a galloping white horse.

Descending to the earth with extreme speed.

boom!The ground cracked and the church collapsed.

The wind blows, the fog fills the air, and the thunder roars.

Lancelot drives the white horse to charge, and the sharp spear suddenly stabs Athena's face. (To be continued..)
