I, the leader of the esoteric sect, am doing great things in the infinite world!

"follow me."

Princess Alice said, "London is a large city. The Council of Wise men left behind many properties, and some still remain."

Li Lin racked his brains, thinking: "The Black Prince possesses such astonishing wisdom... They must be well-prepared. Are there any other hideouts besides this one?"

Princess Alice's lips moved as if she wanted to correct Li Lin's use of the word "nest," but after a moment she gave up on the idea.

"The Black Prince's powers have limitations. The powerful Speed ​​Force will be too much for him to handle. He will have to exit the Speed ​​Force state in at most twenty minutes. Alternatively, he can transform into lightning, but that would be too overwhelming."

The implication is that the Black Prince won't go to great lengths.

"What if he just wants to cut you in half, slice you up, or chop you into pieces?" Melissa asked curiously.

Why do they always make these strange assumptions?

Princess Alice tried to put herself in the shoes of Li Lin and Meloshen.

"You're the Speaker of the Council of Wise Men. Don't you have a better idea?" Li Lin stroked his chin, glancing at Alice with suspicion.

Princess Alice sighed.

She felt she had figured out Li Lin's thought process.

"I feel very uncomfortable facing the Black Prince's murderous intent. If you can send me to the Netherworld, perhaps I can find a way."

"What would you do if I sent you to the Netherworld?" Li Lin was skeptical, sensing that something was amiss.

"Of course, it's about finding an easy way back to the Netherworld."

Is something wrong?

395 Let's cherish the time we can still update twice a day (sad).

Alice discovers that her IQ is showing a steady downward trend.

No, it can't be called a decline... it's more like involuntarily giving up thinking.

How could such a low-level deception possibly succeed?

"Relying on heaven or earth is not as good as relying on yourself." Li Lin cheered for Princess Alice from the side, "Do you need me to give you some positive energy?"

"never mind."

Princess Alice forced a laugh to indicate her refusal, and the three of them returned to their earlier topic of heading to their hideout.

"I'll be waiting for you at the cafe on the third corner."

I don't know what these people are thinking. Every time they meet, it's either in a coffee shop or a pub. You can tell at a glance that they're not good people.

Fortunately, Li Lin did not linger on this obviously dangerous topic any longer. Under Oberon's protection, the two successfully reached the coffee shop on the street corner.

Princess Alice was sitting in the corner, stirring the brown liquid in her cup with a teaspoon, a faint bitter smell wafting in the air.

In most cases, spirit projection can only provide a weak perspective. Most out-of-body experiences are like sleepwalkers, able to see but not touch. Moreover, once their own body is touched, the outgoing spirit will immediately return...

In short, this is a technique that beginners in the study of mysticism often talk about with great relish. It can provide those who do not have much real knowledge but want to touch the threshold of mysticism with some of the strange and wonderful things behind that door.

Princess Alice's spirit is incredibly powerful, even stronger than her original self, possessing some unbelievable abilities, such as casting powerful spells, traveling to various corners of the mortal world at extremely high speeds, and freely entering and leaving the mortal world and the underworld.

This is also why the Black Prince didn't realize at first that Princess Alice was a spirit—if you saw a living blonde woman eating and drinking in front of you, you could see her face, smell her perfume, and touch her skin... even if you were told that the living person in front of you was a "spirit," would you believe it?

Princess Alice took a sip of tea, then reached for the silver knife on the table and made a couple of shallow cuts in the air. A transparent spiritual barrier rose up, enclosing them within it.

"Why don't you take four steps backwards?" Li Lin asked abruptly after watching Princess Alice finish doing this.

"Why do we have to walk four steps backwards? Is this some kind of ritual?"

"This will make it more comfortable for you to go to the toilet." Li Lin moved the cake in front of Melusin to his own eyes. Snatching food from the dragon girl was something Li Lin felt no guilt about.

However, to compensate the sullen dragon, Li Lin gave Alice's share to Melusin, since spirits wouldn't starve even if they didn't eat.

"If you were willing to add more pounds, the effect would be even stronger."

Alice pondered for a moment, not having considered such a ritual, and then shook her head slightly, setting it aside: "Anyway, the fact that you're here means our contract is truly formed. So I can tell you about the Holy Grail, the Earth Mother, and the Last King—oh, by the way, I haven't asked your name yet, what's your name?"

"Auberon."

Meilushin didn't even look up, sitting in the chair with the cake in her hand, munching away and swinging her legs.

Princess Alice's eyes shifted slightly, whether she was thinking of the meaning of the name Oberon or something else, it was unclear.

"If I remember correctly... seven years ago, the Fairy King Oberon appeared as a god of disobedience, and then suddenly disappeared. In our speculation, the Fairy King should have been defeated by Hades or Marquis Voban... but it seems that's not the case."

It's not uncommon for a magician to deal with a non-god, but to exchange covenants with a non-god with whom one can communicate normally is extremely rare.

If those old guys were still alive, they would be so excited by this scene that they wouldn't be able to sleep for three days and three nights.

“Very well, Your Majesty the Fairy King.” Princess Alice sighed. “The moment you uttered that name, I knew your purpose wasn’t so simple. I hope there won’t be any conflict between us. So, how much do you know about the Holy Grail, the Earth Mother, and the Last King?”

"I have absolutely no idea!"

Li Lin stood with his hands on his hips, completely self-righteous.

"Smack, smack." Meilushin was still eating.

He actually knew about it, and probably knew it more deeply and comprehensively than Princess Alice, but he just wanted to hear what kind of nonsense Princess Alice could come up with.

"Alright."

Princess Alice carefully considered her tone before speaking slowly and deliberately: "I've told you about the Holy Grail before. In essence, it's just a vessel for accumulating the life force and magic of the Earth Mother Goddess. There have been two wars fought in Europe for the Holy Grail, but both ended in a painful defeat. The Holy Grail's whereabouts are currently unknown, but its most recent appearance suggests that it is being guarded by a witch."

"This brings us to the relationship between the witch, the Earth Mother Goddess, and the God Ancestor."

Princess Alice seemed to have an endless supply of cake on her table, so she handed another one to Melusin.

"The Earth Mother Goddess is the progenitor of the gods. Most of them take the form of dragons and snakes, and are then killed by the Steel Heroes—this is an allusion to the replacement of matriarchal society by patriarchal society—but dragons and snakes do not truly die, just like King Gilgamesh was stolen by a snake and ate the elixir of immortality. Dragons and snakes have a primal and powerful immortality."

"Therefore, the gods were reborn on earth time and time again, as witches or priestesses. This was a torturous labor that was almost eternal, so when the gods could no longer endure it, they would tear off the seals on their bodies and reveal their dragon and snake forms again."

"When they reclaim the power to rival the disobedient gods, the long lifespans of the god ancestors will also come to an end."

"The Holy Grail is filled with such ominous and terrifying things."

"Smack smack smack".

Princess Alice pushed another piece of cake over, seemingly enjoying the feeling of feeding the dragon: "And all of this is just to provide sustenance for the resurrection of the Last King."

“The Last King.” Princess Alice uttered the name almost with a sigh. “This title is inextricably linked to the Godslayer.”

"He seems like an unrealistic legend, but he was indeed a historical figure—legend has it that he would ride a white horse and eternally reign as a saint on the earth. He would measure everything with a divine sword of salvation, crushing all disobedience like clay pots, for he was granted authority to rule all nations and reign as king on earth for a thousand years."

"The identity of the Last King is shrouded in mystery. Some say he is the Messiah, while others say he is King Arthur who returned from Avalon."

"If the Demon Kings are god-slayers, then the Last King is the one who slays Demon Kings, disobedient gods, and even the Earth Mother Goddess. Moreover, the more Demon Kings there are, the more powerful he becomes."

"Unfortunately, the Holy Grail was one of his key elements, and now it is in the hands of an equally detestable woman, whom the Black Prince is obsessed with."

"So you're planning to catch them in the act and ruin Alexander's plans?"

Li Lin's casual remark made Alice's face turn pale.

After a long while, Princess Alice looked into Li Lin's pure and innocent eyes and sighed, "If you put it that way, we can't continue our conversation."

396 A Transitional Chapter of Utter Boredom

Hit people without slapping their faces, and curse people without revealing shortcomings.

Even if Princess Alice truly harbored such wicked thoughts, she would never openly admit them.

"So what is your goal?" Princess Alice looked at Li Lin, trying to fathom Oberon's thoughts. "Do you want me to help you summon the Rebellious God?"

"You can have this!"

Li Lin said with delight, "First, give me a King Arthur, then a Vortigern, and if you could have a Lancelot, that would be even better."

Princess Alice's vision went black. She was just being polite, but she didn't expect the disobedient god in front of her to actually take advantage of the situation and seem to be planning to have a whole family of food.

“Yes, but not too many.” Princess Alice gritted her teeth and made the decision. “I can only undertake the summoning ritual of one disobedient god at most, and it cannot be a god who is famous in mythology.”

"It can't be someone of King Arthur's caliber—there have been two wars in Europe so far to fight for the Holy Grail, and each time someone has tried to summon King Arthur."

Princess Alice put down her cup and shrugged helplessly: "You know, right? The people of this land have a special affection for King Arthur. They believe that King Arthur is a knight-king who possesses all the virtues of a knight, and they also believe that he will lead the galloping ghost riders on the desolate wilderness on a rainy night and become the King of the Wild Hunt."

"What makes it difficult for a disobedient god to descend to earth is not only their own obsession, but also their fame—otherwise, why doesn't the one in the Bible come out?"

"Then let's go with Vortigern," Li Lin said casually and nonchalantly.

“King Vortigern…that is indeed a good choice.” Princess Alice frowned slightly.

To be fair, Vortigern is also an important supporting character in the Arthurian legend. His prototype seems to be a warlord in the fifth century AD who usurped the throne and became the King of England. In order to suppress the rebels, he even contacted foreign enemies.

Of course, like all rulers in stories, the enemies Vortigern summoned eventually attacked him as well.

Vortigern was also panicked, so he built a large castle, hoping to hide in it and live in peace, regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter. However, the castle collapsed every time it was built.

Finally, he found Merlin Ambrose, who was still a child at the time, and asked him to act as a fortune teller to see what was happening down below.

Merlin was alarmed and said that there were two thousand-year-old evil dragons beneath your castle, one white and one red.

Vortigern didn't have the courage to act like Xu Xian either. He ordered Merlin: "If you can drive this dragon away, I will spare your life and appoint you as a sage; if you fail to drive away the dragon, I will make you a human stake today."

The story naturally ends with Merlin successfully driving away the two dragons and becoming Britain's youngest archmage—but in fact, Merlin also made a prophecy about it.

In the prophecy, the white dragon will eventually be defeated and killed by the red dragon. The white dragon represents Vortigern and his kingdom, while the red dragon represents Arthur, the son of King Uther, and the Holy Kingdom of Britain that King Arthur will eventually establish.
