The inherent barrier is the embodiment of the mind, replacing the reality, and even the caster himself can hardly change it. Moreover, Iskandar's "King's Army" is the crystallization of the dreams of tens of thousands of people, and it is almost unshakable.
However, this supposedly unshakable world has indeed changed.
It’s only a small part, but it’s changing.
The first thing to change is still the wind.
The wind blowing on the hot sandy land is hot and dry, like a burning tornado, and the sand and gravel in the wind rubs people's cheeks so hard that it hurts.
But before I knew it, the hot wind gradually became a little cooler, and the dry sand became a little more humid. It felt like suddenly encountering an oasis while trekking through an endless desert.
No, it’s not “as if”, it’s “oasis”.
In the center of the hot sand land, there was indeed a hint of green under Altria's feet.
Green grass, green trees, even a few wild flowers, and a small pond.
I don’t know if it’s because the ambient temperature is too high, but there was a thick mist lingering around the pool. On the edge of the mist stood a man with white hair and white clothes, leaning on a cane, smiling at everyone.
"Hi~Everyone."
"You are—" Iskander asked loudly.
"Merlin, the British court magician and Altria's mentor."
The man said calmly. Hearing this name, Iskandar widened his eyes and said "oh" subconsciously.
"That old rascal, the Peeping Tom?"
"..." Merlin was speechless for a moment.
At this moment, Iskandar also reacted and hurriedly made amends: "I'm sorry, it's mainly because I heard someone say that. I can't help it, I can't help it..."
Merlin laughed dryly. "Ahahaha, I know who you're talking about—uh, that Altria. How about you think about dating someone again? I don't think that guy is a good person."
However, Artoria simply ignored Merlin's question and asked bluntly, "Why are you here?"
"Is that even a question? Of course I'm here to help you. As a mentor and student, and as a fellow resident of Avalon, I can't let you face the King of Conquerors' army alone."
"What does this have to do with your use of illusion to create the oasis?"
"Of course it does. Don't you think the desert scenery is too monotonous? And the wind and sand are too strong, which is not good for the skin. Women in love should take good care of themselves, otherwise they will be snatched away by other vixens - this is my experience as a friend of women."
"..." (unfriendly look).
"Hmm, why do I feel like you're looking at me like I'm trash? Is it my illusion?"
It's definitely not your illusion, because we see you the same way - more than one person complained in their hearts. Especially Lorelaia, her nerves have been destroyed by Altria once, and now there is an even more weird Merlin.
An impulse in her heart was becoming stronger and stronger. She wanted to record all these strange things, go back and tell other lords, and let them be tortured together.
Perhaps he noticed that the direction of the holy sword had shifted, and knew that he would be chopped if he continued to wander around, so Mei** immediately put away his frivolity and said, "This is just one of the reasons. There are other reasons besides this. Hey, how long are you going to hide? Are you really not going to come out and meet Artoria?"
The last sentence was not said to Artoria, but to the "threshold" that Artoria was carrying on his back.
"If you don't come out now, you may not have another chance in the future, okay?"
"Difficult, is it—"
The moment Artoria discovered something, the pitch-black "threshold" began to glow.
Although it was only a fleeting light, it made the Knight King, who had never wavered in the face of the King of Conquerors' army, stiffen all over.
The source of the light was a figure, a silver knight, standing before the king and the magician as if from a fairy tale.
Although the figure was not clear, and both the armor and skin seemed to be shrouded in mist, hazy and looming, Altria still recognized him.
Because he was the knight who had been with her the longest, since she was not yet a king and he had not yet become a knight.
"Kay, is that Kai?"
"Oh, oh, I haven't heard this name for a long time. I thought you would call me Lord Kai. It seems that you have really let go of your status as a king. As your brother, I am very happy, Artoria."
The Silver Knight smiled and saluted. Kai, King Arthur's sworn brother, was also the knight she trusted the most.
"You, why did you—" Why did you come out of the Holy Lance
"To be honest, I'm not very clear, because I slept for a long time and my memory is a bit distorted. That guy should know, otherwise he wouldn't have specially prepared the environment for 'forced arrival'. But, couldn't you have prepared better? How can I face people without even a decent body (spiritual base)?"
That guy was naturally referring to Merlin. He always liked to talk nonsense, but this time he did not lie. This oasis did have other uses.
"Oh my, this is the limit of what I can do at this stage. After all, I'm just a magus, not a wizard. Just be content. It's better than those people over there."
"Only a fool would believe you. You are a sly court jester who plays tricks all day long and has no credibility."
Kai's current existence is similar to that of a Servant, but because he is not a Servant summoned by the Holy Grail, he is not as complete as Altria and Iskandar, so his image is between half real and half virtual.
While Kai and Merlin were arguing as if no one was around, Gray suddenly cried out.
"Ah—you, you you you you are—"
Upon hearing this voice, the Silver Knight changed his voice instantly and laughed exaggeratedly.
"Hey, hehe, you finally recognized me, the slow-witted Gray. Aren't we old friends?"
Well, now everyone reacted and looked as if they had seen a ghost.
"Ya, Yad!"
This harsh tone, this unique accent. Who else could it be other than the sealed personality of the Holy Spear
Not only Gray and the others were frightened, but also Altria. In her memory, Kai was not such a person.
"Kai?"
"Ouch."
Hearing the Knight King's call, the Silver Knight raised his palm and patted his temple.
"We've been sleeping together for so long that we've become a little mixed. I wasn't originally like this. But never mind, it's not like I have to be the same as before, and it's more human to change when it's time."
"Merlin—"
Feeling increasingly uncomfortable, Altria turned around and asked a magus who was close to knowing everything. The latter patted his head as usual and laughed it off.
"This is a very complex and deep problem, but it has little to do with the Holy Grail War. If you have the chance, you and that kid should solve it together. It's like playing a game. If I just give you the walkthrough, what fun would that be?"
PS: Shanshan’s comments are great, so I don’t like to use the title “all-knowing and all-powerful star”.
PS2: Merlin - I rarely come out, how can I not cause trouble? The reputation of a great sage? Do I have that
PS3: The scene of the round table fighting Wang Jun is indeed a well-used one, but this time Jian Shao focuses on portraying Wang Jun and the heroes of the round table, which should bring a novel experience to everyone.
