A juvenile dragon had not yet shown its fierce fangs to the world, but one day it would stand at the top of the food chain on this land.

Ice cave lair.

Duncan maneuvered the second human form back to the juvenile dragon's nest. After feeding, it became drowsy again, soon entering the next stage of its dormant state.

"When the winter ends, will this ice cave melt completely?"

"Wouldn't that mean there's no lair then?"

The cold winter is quite suitable for the growth of juvenile dragons. By spring next year, when the ice and snow melt, this ice cave would no longer provide hiding.

The most vulnerable time for dragons is during the juvenile stage.

"There should be one or two months left."

"We must use this time to ensure the juvenile dragon gains some combat capability, ideally building a new lair atop a treacherous peak."

No one knows if the migrating frost giant tribe will return next spring; if they do, we have to be even more careful.

Dimension Space.

Duncan observed the juvenile dragon, which had once again fallen into a deep sleep, and secretly recorded the combat data of the second human form.

The strength and physique of the juvenile dragon are astonishing. With a dragon bloodline and the strength of a giant, it possesses power far beyond mortals shortly after birth, roughly akin to a young dragon stage, able to move half-ton objects. Its claws and teeth are sharply akin to forged steel weapons, easily armor-piercing. While its dragon scales are relatively fragile, the inherent dragon hide is tough, with defense far surpassing conventional creatures.

According to Dungeons and Dragons standards, the challenge level of the juvenile dragon in the second human form is 5, capable of single-handedly taking on an ordinary adventurer team.

"With such strength, as long as it develops carefully, there's hardly any wild animal to fear outdoors."

Duncan looked at the projected page of the slumbering juvenile dragon, his expression suddenly became grave, shifting his attention to the projection of the first human form.

——Merlin (Legendary Wizard) (Three-star Gold) (Neutral).

A striking three-star gold marked unit appeared, him transformed into the form of an elderly human noble, slowly entering Southampton and headed toward Duncan's temporary residence at the lord's manor.

Merlin is a master of Transformation Magic, capable of transforming both himself and others.

From a god's view perspective, Merlin's presence was incredibly abrupt.

"Why has he come?"

Duncan entrusted the second human form to the dragon heritage memory repository and directly switched to the first human form, pondering something as he watched Merlin gradually approach.

Meanwhile.

The Crow Queen Triss, busy at the port district planning to collect imperial books, suddenly turned grave, handing over the book she held to a nearby librarian, and hurried swiftly in Duncan's direction.

"Dismount!"

The Crow Queen Triss directly intercepted someone, mounted the horse after dismounting, and galloped in Duncan's direction.

The merchant who was dismounted wanted to curse, but upon a closer look, he was instantly terrified into silence; who in this territory didn't know the existence of the Crow Queen Triss, who was said to be the legitimate wife of the governor?

As for the lover, without a doubt, it was the beautifully and flamboyantly dressed Anya.

Merlin has arrived!

Such a powerful magic wave, there was only one person on the entire island of Britain possessing it.

Toward the Avalon sacrificial stone direction.

An imperceptible spiritual light arose; silhouettes of Guardian Fairies coalesced in the mist rising above the sacrificial stone's pool, with Tethys at the forefront, directly transforming into a spiritual body and possessing one of the druid priestesses, then swiftly heading towards town.

Due to Duncan's rise, the legends of Avalon gradually revived, giving the Guardian Fairies some ability to interfere with reality, allowing them to act like Valkyries in the real world.

They can now possess priestesses in a manner similar to the eastern 'Inviting the God,' enhancing the possessed priestess's spellcasting abilities, and providing an additional mana pool.

These existences do not have physical bodies in the real world.

However, legendary relics capable of reviving flesh and blood could allow them to temporarily have a body, roughly referring to the Holy Grail and the Turin Shroud in recent centuries of myth and legend.

Southampton.

The old man transformed by Merlin gazed at the fully armed Duncan not far away, then looked at the swiftly approaching Crow Queen Triss, and finally glanced at the Avalon sacrificial stone's direction, a wry smile involuntarily appearing on his face.

The Celestial Destiny condensed upon Duncan's body is difficult to shake, even for a powerful spellcaster like him.

If Duncan really wished to kill Merlin right now, it's not impossible, but it would require a significantly hefty price.

After all, he's a legendary spellcaster of this era.

Rewind the timeline back more than two hundred years.

His strength equated to figures like Yu Ji and Zuo Ci during the Three Kingdoms period.

He certainly couldn't compare to Zhang Jiao.

In that era, mythology hadn't receded significantly.

Chancellor Zhuge could possibly really borrow the east wind; after all, even the Crow Queen Triss could influence the weather.

Furthermore, Xiang Yu was born more than two hundred years earlier than Jesus, during the Overlord of Western Chu's active era, when the Norse Pantheon was still coagulating, during the Polytheism era of ancient Rome and ancient Greece.

Back then, mythical power was still present in reality.

The Ancestral Dragon sought immortality elixirs, Han Gaozu Emperor severed the White Snake, Celestial Master Zhang's conquest against Shu, and so on, marked the end of the human-divine cohabitation era when mythology had not completely vanished.

However, even Xiang Yu couldn't be deified because legends mentioned an even mightier one, equally combatively strong and defeated with a dismembered death, named Chiyou.

Woo!

A subtly and forlorn horn sound echoed as Merlin appeared, over Southampton's skies, a Valkyrie with a Bird-winged Golden Helmet along with two Valkyries with Bird-winged Silver Helmets materialized, gazing coldly at the approaching Merlin, ready to target him for any unusual movement.

Before Duncan's Celestial Destiny Epic shatters, his existence is protected by multiple divine beliefs.

Want to kill Duncan?

You can.

Use mortal means to do so, British Sword Saint Merlin personally wielding the blade, supernatural spells are out of the question.

"I have no ill intentions."

Merlin displayed a slight wry smile, watching the mounted approach of the Crow Queen Triss, and suddenly the mark changed from yellow neutral to blue.

But no one paid attention to him; Tethys' possessed priestess also approached Duncan, while the three hovering Valkyries lowered their altitude, and the leading Valkyrie with the Bird-winged Golden Helmet placed her hand on her sword hilt.

Protected by the faith of numerous Divine Spirits, before Duncan's Celestial Destiny Epic shattered, it's almost impossible to bring him down.

Wanna kill Duncan?

You can.

Do it with mortal hands, British Sword Saint Merlin personally brandish a blade, just forget supernatural magic.

This legendary wizard has been obsessed with prophecies for quite a while now, and suddenly emerging like this doesn't assure anyone. Duncan's safety takes precedence over everything else; if Merlin were to act rashly and perform some arcane gesture, the Crow Queen Triss wouldn't mind forcefully breaking through reality's restraints and tearing him apart with a Divine Descent.

Because of Duncan's rise, the legends of Avalon gradually revived, enabling the Guardian Fairies to meddle in the real world with capabilities akin to the Valkyrie.

Now, they stand behind Duncan, defended by numerous divine pantheons.

"Who was the last person the Polytheism wholeheartedly supported?"

"The Emperor of the Empire, the Heretic - Julian!"

The last time someone evoked such overwhelming support from the Polytheism was Emperor Julian!

Merlin's expression turned slightly absent-minded for a moment, muttering in his heart: "The Empire Emperor, Heretic Julian!"

He, intrigued by prophecies for long, suddenly emerged, and who wouldn't feel uneasy at this? Duncan's whereabouts were paramount, and if Merlin acted mysteriously and made any dangerous moves, the Crow Queen Triss wouldn't mind forcibly bypassing reality's restrictions and tearing him apart with a Divine Descent.

Southampton.

With his attire untarnished by dust, sword in hand, Duncan strode like a dragon or tiger, sitting boldly on the main seat of the Governor's residence, his sharp eyes fixed firmly on the legendary wizard Merlin before him.

The Left and Right Generals' Personal Guards stood poised, their Blade and Axe Wielders silent, awaiting the signal to drop the cup.

The Bird-winged Golden Helmeted Valkyrie, who led the three airborne Valkyries, remained speechless, only her cold gaze remained fixated on the vinewood magic staff in Merlin's hand, a true wizard's staff endowed with peculiar powers.
