Chapter 1638 - 1125: Albion (2)
Next, they need not worry about being discovered or pursued by the Queen’s army. Nor do they need to experience numerous adventures like last time, they can simply ignore the rapidly increasing number of Mors encountered along the way, and comfortably sit in the carriage to reach the destination.
Compared to the previous journeys, this trip is incredibly relaxed.
Of course...
"That’s just a small issue, the real big problem lies ahead." Habettelot stopped looking out the window, sat on a seat too high for her stature, feet unable to touch the ground swung as she spoke, "Have you thought of how to persuade the King clan?"
This question left everyone exchanging glances.
Especially Altoria, who was just avoiding Reiger pulling on her ear, now acting like an ostrich.
Clearly, this girl is unreliable.
Only the Chaldea trio, their expressions turned slightly serious.
"Speaking of the King clan, what kind of clan is it exactly?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka tilted her head, suddenly asking this question.
No choice.
"According to Reiger’s previous explanation, aren’t there only the clans of Fang, Wind, Earth, Wing, Mirror, and Rain in Britain?"
Within these six clans, there is no existence of the King clan.
If so, where did the King clan come from?
"Hmm?" Reiger raised an eyebrow, saying, "You don’t know about this?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka and Matthew instantly shook their heads honestly, only Da Vinci had a thoughtful look, seeming to have learned some information through other channels.
"Then your information gathering skills are pretty poor."
Reiger shook his head, his words made Fujimaru Ritsuka and Matthew feel slightly ashamed.
"Since you don’t know, let me explain."
Habettelot was quite enthusiastic, seeing Matthew’s downcast appearance, she immediately helped to explain.
"It’s normal not to know the origins of the King clan, because they are not part of the same system as the fairies of Britain."
"Although that suspicious person over there said a lot yesterday, telling you that there was only this piece of land in Britain, but that claim isn’t quite accurate."
"A long, long time ago, when Britain wasn’t as vast as it is now, the fairies living here also thought there was only one piece of land on the sea."
"Until one day, as Britain continued to expand outward, the fairies were surprised to discover."
"They discovered a forest appeared on the other side of the sea."
Habettelot’s words astonished Fujimaru Ritsuka and Matthew.
"Forest?"
The two seemed not to have expected this word to appear suddenly.
"Yes." Habettelot replied affirmatively, "At that time, Britain had only expanded to near where Manchester is now, the southern edge of Britain."
"And the current northern part of Britain didn’t actually exist in Britain back then."
"It wasn’t until Britain expanded to the vicinity of that forest, bordering it, that Britain gained its north."
In other words, the current northern Britain wasn’t initially part of Britain’s territory, rather, it was an external land, only becoming the northern part of Britain after bordering Britain.
"It was a forest formed in the center of the sea, now known as the Lake District in Britain."
"It wasn’t originally Britain’s land, yet there existed a group of fairies like in Britain."
"Those fairies survived thanks to the forest’s blessings, and were entirely different from the initial six fairy clans, having no connection with the Original Six Fairies."
"We call them the North Fairies."
Habettelot’s slightly childish voice gently resonated in the carriage.
"North Fairies..."
Fujimaru Ritsuka and Matthew whispered quietly.
"So that’s the initial King clan?"
Da Vinci also spoke thoughtfully.
"There was no King clan back then." Habettelot neither denied nor admitted, merely continued casually, "Back then, all the initial six clans were still alive, whether it be the first to perish Rain clan or the subsequent Mirror clan, they continued to survive on this small piece of Britain land."
"When they first discovered there was a Lake District, a forest opposite the northern sea, the clan fairies were very surprised."
"Of course, they were even more surprised to learn that aside from Britain, there was another piece of land on this Sea of Nothingness."
Habettelot’s tone paused slightly and then continued.
"Later, the fairies came to understand that the land is actually transformed from the remains of a great creature, just like the initial Britain."
"That is undisassembled regardless of the world being reborn or becoming a lifeless sea, just surviving alone, finally turning into that small forest’s great creature."
"We call it the Last Dragon, End’s White, unable to return to Paradise, only able to fly around the boundless sea, ultimately exhausting its strength and falling, the dragon."
"Its name is—Albion."
——"Albion".
Upon hearing this name, not only Reiger and Altoria but also Fujimaru Ritsuka, Matthew, and Da Vinci all suddenly became excited.
"Did you say Albion? White Dragon Albion?"
Da Vinci abruptly stood up, speaking with immense surprise.
"Really?" Matthew said in shock, "Albion actually appeared in this world?"
"Wha-What’s going on?" Fujimaru Ritsuka was startled by the two’s excitement, couldn’t help but timidly speak, "Albion... is very famous?"
"More than famous!" Da Vinci took a deep breath, solemnly said, "That’s an existence known to everyone in the magical world."
"In various ancient studies of pan-human history, Britain’s prehistoric civilization is named ’Albion.’"
"And in the magical world, it’s known as the Divine Era Dragon, the last pureblood dragon species, also called the oldest dragon, one of the strongest existences since the birth of planet Earth."
Da Vinci pondered a moment and then gave an example.
"Put it this way, servants are undoubtedly higher beings for humans, whether viewed from the soul stage or battle capabilities, they can be deemed superexistences."
"However, servants are divided into levels according to the scale of their spiritual foundation."
"There are weak lower-grade servants, and powerful top-grade servants, but even the weakest servant is stronger than humans."
"And among these superhuman Heroic Spirits, there’s an even higher tier of individuals that can only be summoned by the world itself, superhumans, the Heroic Spirits among Heroic Spirits, heroes among heroes, we call ’Grand’."
Da Vinci explained very seriously.
"As for dragon species... or pureblood dragon species, they appear frequently in many myths and legends, they are existences heroes and even gods must treat seriously, potentially putting them in danger."
"Albion is akin to the grand tier among pureblood dragon species."
"Having existed since the Earth’s birth, with nearly 4.6 billion years of life data, unlike gods depicted based on humanity’s perception or discovered based on belief, it is the most primitive superexistence."
Da Vinci’s voice became increasingly serious and solemn.
"If it were still alive, it would be the strongest living thing on earth."
"Even if it’s dead, its own existence is equivalent to the world’s oldest mystery."
"Even Beast, despite its life’s rank and power scale, wouldn’t surpass it."
"This is the Divine Era Dragon, the Last Dragon, which once aspired to fly to the Inner Sea of the Star, but due to lingering attachment to the ground was delayed, leading to exhaustion, falling upon the Inner Sea of the Star, the End’s White Dragon—Albion."
