Episode 26/Chapter 1: The land of fierce battles (1)

TL: Tsubak

ED: Julsendary country said to be founded by King Arthur

In Erin, however, this country was far hts of the Round Table had once existed

"My God It’s Merlin!&8221;

"Is he a fauy?&8221;

As Adenmaha exclai a Midgardian, it was the first time he’d heard the na, and replied in a condescending tone

"Of course Should I say that it’s none other than Merlin? Even the witches Morgan le Fay and Vivian were below hiician in Erin, he would surely be one of the candidates&8221;

Bracky was ht her words carried, but he let it slide It was because Adenmaha seeht that he’d died when Ca from how she spoke, it seemed as if she held some personal fascination toward Merlin and Cahts of the Round Table perish?&8221;

‘Probably The Knights of the Round Table were once part of the Red Branch Knights I created One of the knights, Bedevier, claimed that he’d witnessed Arthur’s death’

Cuchulainn’ words were bitter and he grew quiet for a ti Arthur’s deus mac Roich, also lay heavily in his ht valiantly without regard for his life The very reason the Red Branch had any survivors at all ed to his sacrifice

However, the Red Branch Knights were still annihilated during the Great War

From Cuchulainn’s position, bitterness was a natural response

‘It seems that I will need to explain it to your co to Adenmaha, and tell her to transht as if wanting to shake off the bitter feeling fro to reach Adenmaha’s hands

This was because while Siri knew of Cuchulainn’s existence, Bracky and Gordon did not, and by extension, weren’t aware of Gae Bolg’s secret

Nothing good could co the number of people that knew of his secret, so it was best to announce it through Adenmaha, one already known to be a Goddess of Tuatha De Danann

‘There were three groups of knights that represented Erin I belonged to the Red Branch Knights Another group were the Fianna of Fionn hts of the Round Table’

Adenan to convey Cuchulainn’s words It was the first time Tae Ho had heard this, so he tilted his ear as Adenhts in the Round Table was s When compared to Valhalla, even the weakest were equivalent to superior-rank warriors King Arthur was a strong and wise king He established Careed of several people, not one ever dared to challenge Arthur and his knights for it’

Strictly speaking, King Arthur also belonged to Erin, but the boundary of civilities between Cuchulainn and King Arthur was different Because of that, the fore the latter rather objectively

‘Merlin was both the advisor and ician, and a profoundly wise y different fro that he’s a really, really incredible old h Adenmaha’s mouth, Bracky scratched his chin and re to Tae Ho’s hands

‘Right If he can becoreat assistance’

"Uh, but isn’t it weird? He was that great of a uy&8221;

Bracky pointed at the rock serpent that was splayed over the ground While it was certainly a strong dereat difference

The serpent seerohile Adeninally er he slept He even starved for close to ten years How sad!&8221;

As Adenmaha caressed the nose of the rock serpent, it closed its eyes Its expression seemed to be quite somber, perhaps because of the story she told

Cuchulainn spoke up again

‘There’s indeed a possibility that, just likesurvived fro to accomplish’

It was hazardous to the point that even Cuchulainn couldn’t escape in a perfect state

‘But Merlin’s real worth isn’t his strength as a e in his mind, both mystical powers and the acu for Erin’s successor

He didn’t specify his final task, but Cuchulainn had so Arthur to aid Erin’s successor

Ergo, Merlin would help Tae Ho

Tae Ho would becoician

‘Hey, doesn’t it seeht now?’

Even happier than when Cuchulainn and Scathach joined him

It was unavoidable, for compared to them, Merlin was someone Tae Ho kneell His reaction would obviously be different

‘Wouldn’t he also be able to wield Excalibur?’

If one spoke of Merlin, theyArthur, and if one mentioned him, it was impossible to avoid the subject of Excalibur

‘I see now There was a fable that the scabbard of Excalibur was h he couldn’t reaacies Merlin would have gathered

While Tae Ho ihts of the Round Table hter

‘It’s almost like a small version of Erin’

Erin was no more It had been utterly obliterated, but its survivors were noly gathering in one spot

‘There’s Adenmaha, a Goddess of Tuatha De Danann; my master, the queen of the Land of Darkness; and I, a warrior of the Milesians We also have you, the successor of Erin If Merlin, the great ician of Camelot, is also added… It really will have beco the Red Branch Knights several ti it Reestablishing the soul Erin was his true aspiration

It see path ahead, but he now felt closer to the end than ever before

Tae Ho wondered how to approach Cuchulainn, who had fallen deeply into his thoughts, and then said in a really low voice

"Um, it is still Idun-nim’s residence&8221;

Her residence was not a suitable place to rebuild the Erin which Cuchulainn desired

His words shattered the htly and then spoke withwill be solved if you seduce Idun, for we are creating a new Erin within Asgard! Cheer up, Tae Ho, successor of Erin The fate of Erin rests upon your shoulders You must seduce Idun! Ah, if I was alive I would have done it myself’

Tae Ho was baffled by his words, but they were inevitably bullshit

Of course, Cuchulainn must have seen it as a joke too

"It would be nice if I can meet him soon Merlin, I mean&8221;

‘Yeah’

The reroup enjoyed a party in Gordon’s village, and they returned to Idun’s residence after exploring the surroundings of Nidavellir a little bit more

A few days later…

A new order was passed unto Tae Ho as he trained beneath Ragnar and Cuchulainn

It was an order to prepare for the second expedition to Midgard
