I, The Dragon Overlord - Chapter 307

Chapter 307 – King Arthur and Merlin are Traitors!

“Those wizards look so handsome!”

“The country owes me a letter of admission to Hogwarts.”

“I’m going to Slytherin.”

“Coach, I want to learn magic. I want to be a wizard.”

“I’m twenty-three years old. Can I still attend Hogwarts?”

“Is it possible to become a wizard just by believing in the Celtic gods?”

“AHHHHHH! HOGWARTS! HOGWARTS!”

“…..”

With the emergence of this group of wizards along with their identities as Merlin’s disciples, countless young people began to get excited.

Harry Potter was one of the most well-known literary works in the world. The magnificent world of witches and wizards had been deeply rooted in the hearts of people. Although people also know that Harry Potter was just a children’s fantasy, its story still attracted many young people. The world of magic within was simply that fascinating.

Now people found out that there were truly witches and wizards. They were even modernly dressed and could be called ‘cool’. Although the wands they held were much thicker than those wizards in novels and movies, they still resonated with fans and young people.

This was especially after knowing that original wizards had their own faith, which was the faith in Celtic deities. Many impulsive young people began to have thoughts of changing their faith to the Celtic religion.

Young people were always simple-minded. They did not pay much attention to heaven and hell. Compared to believing in mainstream religions like Christianity, they would rather become wizards and believe in a ‘COOL’ god. Subculture was a large market for young people.

Seeing the wizard take out a cross, the Celtic god angrily denounced him as a traitor and even scolded Merlin and King Arthur.

“Traitor?”

Not only the royal family, everyone who heard these words. King Arthur was simply too famous. He was almost equivalent to the symbol of England. Hearing that the legendary king was actually a traitor was very surprising.

However, some scholars also comprehended the Celt’s meaning.

King Arthur was a Celt, so his faith should be with the Celtic gods, but what was the actual truth? In truth, King Arthur exists primarily in Christian mythology and many aspects of his legend point in that direction. From the Celtic perspective, it’s understandable to view him as a traitor.

The world’s most famous wizard in Arthurian Legend, Merlin, was also a Celtic druid, but to help the Christian-believing Arthur, he had also been branded a traitor.

“In Arthurian legend, Morgan Was working against King Arthur, but the person who protected the seriously injured King Arthur and brought him to Avalon was also Morgan. This might look illogical, but if King Arthur was a Celtic traitor, it could be explained. It was very likely that this was a plot created by the Tuatha De Danann and the fairy queens of Avalon to overthrow his traitorous regime.”

“At the battle of Camlann, Mordred seriously wounded King Arthur, ending his regime. While he was at death’s door, Morgan brought him to Avalon to recuperate. Merlin had also been imprisoned in Avalon by the Lady of the Lake, Vivian. In truth, King Arthur might not have been there to recuperate, but he and Merlin were imprisoned as prisoners. Avalon might actually be their prison.”

A scholar fanatically scanned through the information he knew and put together what he thought was a coherent narrative. As for whether this was true or not, there was no argument to be made. The Celtic god had said it himself, so there was no need to doubt.

King Arthur was a fabricated character and did not truly exist? If that was the case how could those wizards be explained? What about the magic that they used? Since Merlin existed, then the Arthurian legend must be true. Historians said that King Arthur never existed? Then they must have been fooled by supernatural beings. How could mortals know what happened among the gods?

The sudden appearance of all kinds of gods with their supernatural powers that were beyond modern ken was already something that could overthrow all known history on Earth. In front of the miraculous powers of gods, those scholars who thought that they were liars could only decadently admit the truth of their existence.

Every sentence of the gods was being over-interpreted by countless scholars and professors, just like those ancient poets.

In time, King Arthur was once again on the hot seat, but the story was a bit more unpleasant this time. He went from a hero of Britain to a Celtic traitor.

But regardless of the outside world, the Celt only gazed at the cross in the hands of the wizard and fiercely smiled, “Was this cross given to you by the Christ who descended onto the world?”

The cross shone with a faint light that emitted a peaceful and serene aura. This was a magic ornament made by Louie using his divine authority of life. It did not really have a powerful ability and was only good as a decoration in the world of San Soliel. However, the aura it let out could be perceived by ordinary people and made people on Earth feel the mighty aura of holiness.

The nervous royal members in Buckingham Palace calmed down with the appearance of this cross and they quietly prayed.

“My God, we are not disobeying you. It’s just that our ancestor Merlin gave us a dream yesterday, asking us to come here today to have an audience with you. This cross was given to us today and passed us the message that it could calm the anger in your heart.”

The leader of the group spoke in a respectful tone. It was clear from his performance that these were only a group of mortals with supernatural powers and did not dare compete with the gods. It was also clear from his way of addressing the god what his faith was.

“Hmph, he is indeed an offspring of the Tuatha De Danann and an incubus. That old man is imprisoned in Avalon yet capable of sending his dreams out. His power seems like it hasn’t weakened over the years and instead became stronger.”

The Celtic god of war truly calmed down in front of the cross.

In the legend, Merlin was said to be an offspring of a human and an incubus, but from the words of the Celtic god, it seemed as if Merlin was actually an offspring of a Tuatha De Dannan and an incubus. Those professors and scholars who studied mythology were dumbfounded. If Merlin was truly an offspring of a Tuatha De Dannan, then it was no wonder why he had such prestige and power.

“Connacht Rhys, let’s call it quits! Since we have an agreement with the other gods, we have to go and keep it. Don’t let the other gods see us as a joke.”

The fairy that had been sitting on the Celtic god of war’s shoulder flew up. Previously she looked at the god of war with worship and let him do as he pleased to the point that her expression also became bloodthirsty, but now it seemed that she also regained reason and began to persuade him.

“It is an honor to meet you, Fairy Queen of Avalon, Moronoe.”

The wizard also bowed respectfully upon seeing the fairy. It could be called a complete show.

“Moronoe, I know what to do.”

Connacht glanced at the fairy and looked at the royal family one more time. Although the cross let out a tranquil aura, the gaze of the beast-like god still frightened them to their core.

“Since Christ has interceded, then I want you to agree to my conditions, then I will spare you.”

Connacht Rhys’ eyes shone brightly and he grinned, as if his plan had been accomplished and that he did not have to continue acting.

That smile stunned everyone, and they all began to wonder if they were dancing in the palms of his hands.
