Chapter 245: There is Definitely Something Wrong with this King Arthur
After Alice finished speaking, she dispelled this avatar.
The main body, far away in the Duke Gaodeding mansion, also slowly awakened along with it.
"How is the situation, Your Highness?"
Beside her, Ericsson, acting as secretary, could not help but ask upon seeing Alice wake up.
"The worst-case scenario!"
Wearing pajamas, Alice tugged at her own brilliant golden hair and sighed helplessly.
"Notify the Council of Sages to prepare to fully assist King Arthur in defeating the Black Prince, Ericsson."
"What?"
Ericsson was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said.
"What do you mean?"
"We must fully align with the King and make our stance clear."
Alice sighed; otherwise, she dared not guarantee what kind of treatment the Council of Sages might encounter.
This King was not entirely ignorant of the present world, and it seemed he could even read minds.
"Excuse me."
Ericsson offered an apology, then hurriedly walked out of the room to notify the members of the Council of Sages of this terrible news.
At this moment, Alice turned her head to look at the sky outside the window and sighed softly.
"My intuition tells me that the Council of Sages is very likely to suffer a disaster; I hope it will not be so."
"I hope they can understand this is no joke..."
——
On the ground in Greenwich, the conference room of the Council of Sages headquarters fell into a noisy riot.
"Official Nord, why did you announce your allegiance to the Black Prince?"
"That is naturally because I feel the Black Prince is more capable of leading Britain to greatness again!"
"What about Advisor Alice's warning?"
"She is just an advisor, and I heard Princess Alice doesn't have long to live; such a good Witch talent must be inherited..."
Listening to the noisy discussions of the high-ranking members of the Council of Sages under his command.
The current Council Chairman, James Hake, said in a very helpless tone.
"Are you really that reluctant to give up the benefits in your hands? It looks like this Council of Sages is about ready to be dissolved."
At this time, a member rushed to Hake in a flurry.
"Chairman, news just came from the Royal Family; they are preparing to consider Princess Alice's marriage arrangements."
And at this moment, Ericsson, who was standing next to the Chairman, pushed up his glasses and said.
"I am very sorry, but Her Highness the Princess is currently with the King."
The implication was to use the prestige of Su Nian to make them retreat on their own.
It could barely be considered borrowing the tiger's might as a fox.
Hearing this, Hake rubbed his temples with a headache.
"Has even the Royal Family chosen to align with the Black Prince?"
Hake was more willing to believe Alice's judgment; the Last King was absolutely not someone an ordinary Godslayer could contend with.
To go all out... no, to exhaust everything to assist that King was the only way for the Council of Sages to survive.
But the other councilors did not think so; they were more willing to believe in the prestige of the Demon King, firmly convinced that the Black Prince could absolutely defeat the so-called Last King.
After all, because a certain Marquis had practically slaughtered the entire European nobility, he had killed his way to the fame of a Demon King.
This was the true reason why Godslayers were feared, because they had truly seen the scenes of Godslayers rampaging.
And the Last King had not appeared for 1,500 years; he was just a slightly stronger Heretic.
Of course, the greater possibility was that rather than re-pledging allegiance to the Last King, they would rather accept the Black Prince, to whom they were nominally loyal now.
At least they had figured out the Black Prince's personality; if nothing unexpected happened, the war between the Council of Sages and the Royal Factory could continue to be maintained.
And pledge allegiance to an uncertain King? That was better left forgotten.
Only Alice would align with a Heretic, right?
"Isn't this very normal?"
Beside him, Ericsson pushed up his glasses and gave a bitter smile.
"After all, the Black Prince's nickname is the 【Godspeed Noble】!"
Ericsson sighed and said.
"If we choose betrayal, once the news reaches his ears, it won't take him more than a few seconds to come find us."
The Black Prince's Authority 【Lightning Flash】 was an Authority famous for its speed.
Transforming oneself into an energy state to gain godlike speed, it was said to be able to reach the speed of light.
"Perhaps he is already here watching the show right now."
"Hmm? You have quite a sharp eye."
An unfamiliar male voice rang out from the corner.
Ericsson's expression changed instantly; he turned his head and saw a young man in the corner of the conference room.
He looked ordinary, wearing a cheap white shirt and dress pants, with black hair and black eyes; his ancestors seemed to have Roman blood.
The Black Prince, Alexander Gascoigne.
After this Godslayer confirmed the situation, he sat at the conference table, listening to the Council of Sages debating whether to pledge allegiance to him or to King Arthur.
Not to mention, it was actually quite entertaining.
James Hake immediately broke into a cold sweat, clearly not having expected the Black Prince to be so close at hand.
But on the surface, he still performed the proper courtesies, rising to bow.
"Lord Gascoyne."
"Just call me Alec."
Alec smiled and mocked himself.
"After all, I don't have any noble bloodline."
It's over... Ericsson thought to herself, sensing disaster.
With Princess Alice absent, the Council of Sages truly lacked the ability to keep Alec's power in check.
An ordinary person would be trembling just standing here.
Well, she was the same; not losing control of her bladder on the spot was already a success.
What to do? Ericsson's brain spun frantically.
Yet at this moment, Alec said with interest.
"By the way, I'm a bit curious: how does that disgusting Witch want you to assist that Last King?"
"I just wonder if she anticipated this situation."
Saying this, Alec looked at Ericsson with an expectant expression.
"Tell me, what does the Witch's expression look like right now? Can I see it?"
It's over, it's truly over now... Ericsson collapsed onto the floor in a state of breakdown.
She didn't know whether she should leak Alice's plan, after all, it involved researching the authorities and personalities of Godslayers, and even naming their authorities.
If this were known by arrogant and capricious Godslayers, it would mean a group of Godslayers teaming up to raid a dungeon.
Yes, a group of level 999 high-level players raiding a level 1 dungeon.
"It seems you have something you're hiding from me."
Alec said this while looking at James Hake, who was on the other side of the conference table, taking out a handkerchief to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.
Suddenly, Alec lost interest and said rather boredly.
"Forget it, I'll come back to settle accounts later; I seem to have found that Witch's aura."
Alec frowned, though his expression was quite cheerful.
Whether intentional or not, this aura seemed to be coming from underground.
"It looks like that hateful woman prepared quite a lot of things."
After saying this, Alec's figure vanished, but judging by the afterimage left behind, he seemed to be heading underground.
Greenwich, beneath the Council of Sages.
Stepping into this place, Su Nian frowned, sensing an unusual aura in the air.
"A temple?"
"Yes."
Alice landed on the ground, then looked at the ancient stone walls all around and explained.
"It is a secret temple built by ancient monks, likely dedicated to the Celtic Divine Spirit, though the statues were destroyed long ago, some of the defensive facilities remain."
"So it became the place where you store intelligence."
Su Nian touched the stone wall, found a spot and pressed it; amidst the sound of sliding boulders, the smooth stone wall in front suddenly recessed inward, revealing a passageway.
Alice, standing beside him, said with great surprise.
"You cracked the mechanism just like that?"
"What's so strange about that? I am, after all, of the Celtic Pantheon; a Celtic temple is like home to me."
Su Nian tilted his head and explained with a slight smile.
At the same time, he quietly activated the long-neglected array within the temple, defining this place as a Divine Realm in terms of Concept.
Of course, this Divine Realm refers to a domain where a god resides, not the Mythology world mentioned earlier.
Outside, it seems an interesting fellow has arrived.
"Uh..."
Alice's expression was somewhat subtle.
I haven't read many books, don't lie to me; isn't Arthurian Legend a work of Fiction? How is it related to the Celtic?
I just feel like there is a huge problem with this King Arthur.
Alice followed behind Su Nian with a peculiar temperament and entered the Library.
Entering the Library, Su Nian saw row after row of bookshelves, more than half of which were already filled with documents processed by Magic.
Alice, who had followed him in, whispered an explanation.
"Generally, over seventy percent of high-level classified intelligence is kept here, and the remaining thirty percent is basically stored on computers disconnected from the network."
"Looks like quite a heavy workload."
Then Su Nian took out his phone.
"Mogwai, it's up to you! Organize the intelligence in here!"
"Yes, master."
Then Su Nian's phone scanned all the documents in an extremely sci-fi manner and connected to the computers.
Magical Technology, kid!
After arriving in Little Garden, Lan Yu Qiancong's skills had not regressed but rather improved even more; Magic, Magical Technology, and technology were fused very well.
Even the technology of the Shixue Kuangxi Shijie had seen vigorous development and substantial progress.
Only Alice, standing to the side, had her eyes widened and her mouth slightly agape.
"Huh??"
No, where have you brought me to?
Is this still the Little Broken Ball and the world she knew?
This King Arthur of yours is absolutely not right!!!
What kind of deity pulls out near-sci-fi gadgets to organize documents?
And if her Spirit Vision wasn't mistaken, she didn't seem to be able to beat this mobile phone...
Alice fell into silence.
So Magic could be played like this too?
Alice seemed to have understood something, and the look she gave Su Nian became increasingly fervent.
On this mobile phone of Su Nian's, she saw a brand new path that was no less than that of a Godslayer.
