The residence of the Duke of Godred is located near Westminster in London. It is one of the few high-end residential areas in the UK and is home to many British dignitaries.
One of them has a vast courtyard, a tall building with a height of four floors and four towers. Its decorative style is very much like an ancient castle. In fact, castles with this architectural style are not uncommon here. Usually, There will be various names, such as Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle, etc.
When Paul Brantley led the Copper and Black Cross personnel to visit the mansion gate, there were already two rows of maids lining up to welcome the Copper and Black Cross people.
Princess Alice is not only the daughter of Duke Goldett's family, but also a member of the royal family. She is also the Sage President of the Sage Council, and has a decisive influence on the entire magic world.
"Welcome, Mr. Paul. The princess was very happy to hear about your arrival."
A woman in her thirties with tied hair and thin-framed glasses came out. She had a serious expression and a fierce expression. Even when she spoke words of welcome, her tone was stiff.
"Hello, Ms. Yi Lixin." Paul greeted the woman and introduced her to the people around him.
Patricia Ericsson, who had many roles as Princess Alice's governess, secretary, maid, and housekeeper, was a close confidant among Princess Alice's confidants. To have such a confidant come to personally welcome Paul Browntree cannot be said to be disrespectful. This ally.
"The princess is already waiting in the guest room, please."
Yi Lixin did not exchange greetings, and walked toward the reception room with the people from the Red Copper and Black Cross.
Although Paul Browntree, as an ally of Princess Alice, had worked with Princess Alice to fight against the God-killer Black Prince Alek in the UK, he was already familiar with Princess Alice's mansion and the residence of the Wise Council, but In noble families, there are attendants to lead the way, which is the etiquette among nobles.
When I arrived at the lobby of the reception room, I saw a projector projecting on a giant white screen, which displayed a painting painted by an unknown artist.
In the portrait, a knight wearing Roman armor is leading his knights in a difficult battle with the enemy.
Although the war was difficult, the dawn of victory undoubtedly favored the Roman general in the painting.
Princess Alice stared at the curtain and even touched the portrait with her hands. Her eyes showed admiration and curiosity as she was thinking.
"Uncle, what is this? Is it a painting from the Roman Empire?" Erica asked.
Princess Alice was immersed in the painting, and neither Paul nor the people from the Red Copper and Black Cross had the heart to disturb her.
The painting that made Princess Alice so obsessed must have a profound meaning. If it is disturbed, it may be a harm to human civilization.
"No, if we really want to determine the time, then it should be a painting from the Roman British era. The background on the battlefield is Saxon, but the general is wearing Roman armor and is obviously a British knight, because behind him It’s the Barton Mountains, so if the general were to ask who it was, it would obviously be the legendary King Arthur.”
Paul answered the question asked by his niece. No matter how outstanding a genius he is, he is still a young bird whose wings have not grown hard when he is only twelve years old. He still needs the protection and help of adults.
"King Arthur is a Roman?" Erica shook her head and said, "I remember that the Kingdom of Camelot where King Arthur lived was before the Roman Empire conquered Britain."
"Yes, in the legend King Arthur's Kingdom of Camelot was a great civilization established by the Celts before Rome conquered Britain. Therefore, if the time of this painting can be determined, then its historical significance is far-reaching. Not only will it be proven that King Arthur is a real figure in British history, but the hypothesis that King Arthur was a Roman will be established and confirmed.”
Princess Alice heard the conversation between Erica and Paul, turned her head and showed a charming smile to them, "Welcome, Mr. Paul, this is the niece Erica you mentioned."
From the beginning to the end, Princess Alice's external image is that of a noble and elegant lady, just like a real princess.
At this moment, the girl who appeared in front of Paul and Erica had a pale face. The first thing that appeared was not nobility, but weakness. Her skin showed an unhealthy white color. Although she was breathing steadily, she showed the appearance in front of the world. It is a delicate and fragile vase.
"Mr. Paul, I am deeply happy for your arrival, but I didn't expect that you would come because of such a thing."
"I'm deeply sorry, Your Highness Princess Alice."
Alice moves like a princess, and Paul Browntree moves like a knight.
The Council of Sages where Princess Alice belongs is not an institution in history that serves as both a government and a parliament and can support a king, but a magic association specifically established to study magic. From the perspective of the members of the Council of Sages, every one of them Godslayers are hopelessly cruel demons, moving scourges.
Only the two of them understood the profound meaning of their conversation. This was a tacit understanding reached by former allies.
Then there was a long silence.
"You are studying that king, right?" Paul broke the silence and asked, looking at the picture of King Arthur.
Although William claimed that he did not kill gods, but only killed time dragons from other worlds, this has been regarded as a god of disobedience by default.
For example, emperor, emperor, vassal king, sultan, khan, king, although their titles are different from each other, everyone understands that these are synonyms for the country's monarch.
The Time Dragon, which can travel through time, looks like a creature that is full of energy at first glance. It is roughly the same as the God of Disobedience and there is nothing wrong with it.
William did not show the power of time. Instead, the abilities he used were related to the legendary King Arthur. This had to make the magicians in the sage meeting wonder whether William killed her and took away the power from her.
The Sword in the Stone is the embodiment of King Arthur's power, just like Tony's magic sword.
"I have an indiscreet suspicion."
Princess Alice cheered up, and her originally pale face became energetic because of her guesses and suspicions. "I very much doubt that William Pendragon is a king in British history."
Silence, a long silence, whether it was Paul, Erica or Yi Lixin, they stared at Princess Alice with stunned expressions.
Although Princess Alice's guess is so absurd and unbelievable, it is after all said by Princess Alice, the most powerful witch in Europe. Even if it is just a guess, it has its basis.
"You mean William is the god of disobedience?" Erica said in a surprised tone.
"No, not a god of disobedience, but a king, a king with a status similar to that of a god."
Princess Alice said in a cheerful and excited tone, "You said that William came from another world. He didn't hide it, but he didn't blurt out everything about himself without reservation."
"For example, we live in a world that can be heard, thought, spoken, and described. For example, sugar is sweet because we can see and taste it, so we can understand it. However, other countries have such a Sweet crystals, we naturally name them sugar.
This kind of direct translation will inevitably filter information, while retaining free translation will bring a sense of mystery. Bronze dragon, white dragon, black dragon, and rainbow dragon are all dragons, but dragons and dragons are originally the same. Different.
Translation can be close, but it may not be completely accurate. Unless it is the same language, we will label things that are similar to us in another language and culture. This practice is to label. If we cannot understand its culture in depth, then we will just Able to stereotype.
The worlds we and William live in have similar but different worldviews, so the information will inevitably be distorted, so this is why I assert this.
There are not many famous kings in British history. The most famous ones are King Arthur, Alfred the Great, and William the Conqueror. Who do you think it is? "
