"—At first, it was just a battle between two Tuatha Dé Danann, but it attracted the Deep Sea Giant race, who had a mortal grudge against them, turning it into a three-way free-for-all."
"Due to the fierce fighting severely damaging Avalon, the nine fairies guarding this place had no choice but to intervene and stop them."
The old man in gray robes sighed as he spoke, "After the world-shattering battle, it became what you see now."
Hearing that this matter was related to the Tuatha Dé Danann, Karl's heart immediately became serious.
Oh my goodness! Another unexpected discovery!
"Don't lie to me. I know a little about the Tuatha Dé Danann. What are the names of those two gods you mentioned?"
There was a hint of inexplicable meaning in the old man in gray robes' eyes, "Morgana and Herpo the Foul."
Karl inwardly exclaimed how outrageous it was, not expecting it to be these two again. He suddenly felt that his gains this time would be significant.
"The Goddess of War and Death and the God of Craftsmanship? Why did they fight?"
"You should be able to guess the reason," the old man in gray robes smiled slightly, "After all, you are Queen Maeve's follower."
"Ah? How do you know I am—"
Karl pretended to be surprised and quickly took out a mirror from his wrist guard.
Right! Exactly! You are right!
"Although I am trapped here by Vivian, as long as I wish, nothing that happens in Avalon will be a secret."
"Oh? Then you must know where the Queen is! Master Merlin! Tell me quickly!"
Looking at Karl's eager expression, the old man in gray robes couldn't help but look strange.
"You have already seen her. She is the woman wearing a crown in the lake."
This kid, as a follower, didn't even recognize the person he was following.
He first pierced her body with a great axe, and then attacked her with a spell.
It was simply a joke!
Tom Riddle? His talent, strength, soul intensity, and physical quality all met his requirements, he was just a bit foolish.
But that's fine too!
"What?"
At this moment, Karl brought his acting skills to the extreme.
His complex expression contained three parts shock, three parts panic, three parts heartache, and three parts regret.
Don't ask why it adds up to twelve parts, because Karl is a Wizard special student and gets extra credit.
"No! My Queen!"
Karl cried out and turned to run back. Anyway, the bluestone path he came on had long disappeared.
"Master Merlin! Please help! I need to go back and help and awaken Her Majesty the Queen!"
The old man in gray robes shook his head regretfully, "Please accept my condolences, Tom. Queen Maeve, like those Deep Sea Giants, has long become a walking corpse knowing only slaughter. She cannot be saved."
"No! How—how could this be?"
"Because they were all cursed by the Tuatha Dé Danann," the old man in gray robes didn't want to continue discussing the matter, so he abruptly changed the topic, "Have you thought of the reason for Morgana and Herpo the Foul's battle?"
Karl inwardly gave the old man a thumbs up, because he was also about to lose his act; crying scenes were indeed not his strong suit.
"Is it because of Cú Chulainn? The Son of God defeated by the Queen?"
"Exactly, that's right."
"But why would they fight in Avalon? I don't understand!"
The old man in gray robes watched Karl walk back somewhat at a loss, approaching the base of the oak tree step by step.
A hint of joy flashed imperceptibly in his eyes, "This story is long, let me tell you slowly."
"In ancient times, Queen Maeve used her wisdom to kill Cú Chulainn. His soul should have returned to the Goddess of Death, Morgana."
"However, Herpo the Foul, with the tacit permission of the Sun God Lugh, used a Horcrux to retain a part of Cú Chulainn's soul and hid in the present world, attempting to complete it."
"This act angered Morgana, causing this Goddess of Death to also come to the present world, wanting to kill Herpo the Foul and reclaim Cú Chulainn's soul."
"They fought fiercely in the present world, chasing and fleeing, and then—" The old man in gray robes paused, swallowing the curse word that almost slipped out.
"Then they fought again on the sky bridge, which ultimately led to the stone of destiny breaking and the cloud sea sky bridge being severed."
Hmm? Battle? stone of destiny? Broken?
Karl immediately thought of the Ireland Tara Qiu collapse incident. It seemed Dumbledore's guess was correct; the two Wizards fighting at that time were indeed Morgana and Herpo the Foul.
But what is the Cloud Sea Sky Bridge?
Hearing Karl's question, the old man in gray robes imperceptibly lowered his voice, urging him to come closer.
"The sky bridge is the passage between the otherworld and the present world. The Tuatha Dé Danann relied on the sky bridge to travel between the otherworld and the present world."
Karl was stunned for a moment. Doesn't the severance of the cloud bridge mean the passage is gone?
Should he inform Dumbledore and Grindelwald that they don't need to go to Ireland Tara Qiu anymore?
It's useless to go anyway, they might as well come directly to Avalon, he's already inside.
"Because the sky bridge was severed, Herpo the Foul had no choice but to choose to go from Avalon to the present world, but unfortunately, he was later discovered by Morgana."
"That's why they fought here."
"The nine fairies guarding Avalon sealed the entire Avalon with their souls, thereby isolating it from the otherworld and the present world, intending to trap both the Tuatha Dé Danann and the Deep Sea Giant race here until they died."
Karl: (#°°)
Huh? What the heck?
Isolated from the otherworld and the present world?
Then how did I get in?
And—is this path gone too?
"Master Merlin, is the Avalon we are currently in not in the otherworld?"
"It is, but it cannot go to other places."
Looking at the old man in gray robes shaking his head, Karl was already cursing inwardly.
Morgana and Herpo the Foul, those two annoying bastards! They cause trouble wherever they go, both passages were destroyed by them!
"Were the nine fairies of Avalon successful? Did they manage to trap them until they died?"
Although Karl knew that Herpo the Foul definitely escaped and later went to Hogwarts to cause trouble, at least Morgana could be sealed, right?
"It was half successful, I suppose. Anyway, the Deep Sea Giants are all dead. As for the Tuatha Dé Danann—"
"Herpo the Foul escaped to the present world at the cost of the Dagda's Cauldron breaking, and opened the passage between Avalon and the present world."
"This is also why you were able to come here."
Speaking of this, the old man in gray robes lowered his eyes, "And Morgana used despicable means to return to the otherworld before being completely sealed."
Karl: (⊙_⊙)
The broken stone of destiny, the broken Dagda's Cauldron—Good heavens! Herpo the Foul is specifically sending equipment to the four founders of the school, isn't he?
"What despicable means?"
"It's complicated—Tom, can you help me up? I've been sitting here for thousands of years."
Karl showed an honest, simple smile, and then, under the old man in gray robes' expectant gaze, he took a big step backward.
"Sorry, I refuse."
The old man in gray robes looked surprised, even a little disappointed and puzzled, "Why?"
"Because there's no surveillance here! So I don't dare to help you!"
