Endless Soul-Devouring Night Black Mist surged from behind him, melting and Consuming the five Giants amidst screams and wails.
"Hmm?"
Karl, flipping through Dorian's wraith memories, was somewhat surprised. It turned out these Giants had been invited by an organization called the Connacht Kingdom Knight Order.
They were preparing to go to Avalon to find the slumbering Queen Maeve and the imprisoned Fomorians.
Then—destroy Hogwarts, sabotage Herpo the Foul's arrangements, and ensure Cú Chulainn's soul remains forever incomplete and never restored.
Karl: (Shocked)
Damn! Elvis Heller actually wasn't lying! These bastards are really looking for death!
As for why this information leaked, the reason was actually a bit hilarious.
The servants of a god were actually wiped out by the servants of a Queen; this matter was indeed too absurd.
It seemed Elvis Heller had an exceptionally clear understanding of the strength of the Dark Wizards under his command; otherwise, he wouldn't have been so certain back then that these people would go up against Hogwarts.
So, the two groups in front of him were respectively the servants of Queen Maeve and the descendants of the Fomorians.
Then it wasn't strange that they had allied. After all, Queen Maeve was one of the culprits who killed Cú Chulainn, and the Fomorians had a blood feud with Cú Chulainn's biological father, Lugh, the Sun God.
However, Queen Maeve and the Fomorians were actually in Avalon, and they weren't dead—or rather, they could still be resurrected.
How did they do it?
Karl scratched his head, then looked at the five Wizards who had already been scared into peeing their pants by the Soul-Devouring Night Black Mist.
"So you bastards are the knights of the Connacht Kingdom? Do you want to die, or do you not want to live?"
"We want to live! We don't want to die! Ask whatever you want, sir! We wouldn't dare hide a thing!"
Toke's survival instinct was maxed out; he did not want to become a wraith in that terrifying black mist.
"Very good!"
Karl raised his hand and used seawater to make a water clock. Regardless of whether the timing was accurate, it ran very fast.
"Where is Avalon? If you can't say it before the water runs out, you'll be their chew toy."
Toke followed Karl's finger to look at the malicious wraiths, and was so scared he burst into wails.
"Ah!"
"Crying? Crying counts as time too!"
"Ah! It's in Glastonbury! But it's said to be located in The Otherworld, shrouded by swamps, woods, and mist. You must use a special method to enter!"
"It's said?"
"I've never been there! It's just what those old fossils said!"
"Then you're fucking useless!"
"I'm useful! I'm useful! I'm useful! I know what the special method is!"
"Spit it out!"
Toke looked at Karl with a face full of fawning. "Can I trade my life for telling you?"
The expressionless Karl pulled out the Spiral Sword, preparing to stab him to death directly.
"Merpeople! You need a Merperson to get in!"
Hearing this, Karl threw the water clock into the sea and made a new one.
"I'll give you a bit more time. Keep going. Specifically, how is it done?"
"As long as you find the intersection between the mortal world and Avalon, the song of a Merperson can make the woods and mist appear, and the tears of a Merperson can turn the swamp into a lake. That way, you can row a boat to reach Avalon."
"So that's how it is. No wonder you wanted to hire Dark Wizards to capture Merpeople."
Toke shook his head frantically. "It was all forced by those old guys! I have no ill will toward Merpeople! This order was issued a long time ago. I didn't want to do it, so I went to find Valentine!"
"Can you take me to Avalon?"
"This—I can't take you."
"Why?"
"Because you need the treasure left by Queen Maeve to find the exact intersection and cross through the woods and mist."
Karl nodded indifferently. Once he wiped out this Connacht Kingdom Knight Order, the treasure would naturally be his.
"Last two questions. Why are Queen Maeve and the Fomorians in Avalon? How do you awaken them?"
Toke had a mournful face. "I don't know any of that. Those old fossils never mentioned it."
Karl crushed the water clock in his hand, seawater dripping from his fingertips.
"That means you're useless again."
Sensing Karl's killing intent, the terrified Toke started wailing again.
"Ah! Don't kill me! I have an eighty-year-old mother above and a ninety-year-old son below! Spare me! I can take you to find those old fossils! You can ask them then!"
Karl: (—_—)
An old artist, indeed! Aside from the lines being a bit weak, the acting was quite convincing!
If I hadn't seen the intel in the wraith Dorian's memory, I might have actually believed you.
"Then what use do I have for you? Besides—the world doesn't allow anyone to be more of a chatterbox than me."
The Soul-Devouring Night Black Mist once again Consumed the Wizards and transformed them into wraiths. While Karl confirmed the information was correct, he also obtained the location of the Connacht Kingdom Knight Order's base.
"Goodbye, sea! The side quest can now enter its next stage!"
After swimming a lap in the water, Karl leaped out of the sea surface. In mid-air, he transformed from a Merperson into a Blazing Drake.
After casting the Disillusionment Charm on himself, he spread his wings and flew into the high sky.
"Woohoo! Taking off!"
