Dragons?

In the era of the Middle Ages, dragons were the watershed of mythology.

Especially after the Norse Pantheon started to become active, the existence of giant dragons became more prominent in myths and legends. The church also had many legends about giant dragons, even portraying Satan as a seven-headed red dragon wearing a crown. After the Mythical Era ended, among the numerous monster legends, without a doubt, those related to dragons were in the top tier, their spread significantly wider.

Anya's magic power is lower, much like a half-filled bottle of water sloshing around, after all, she is a two-star whiteboard, unlike the Crow Queen-Triss who has an extremely large magic pool.

When Anya casts a spell, she only uses that much magic power, able to perform magic of such strength.

But the Crow Queen-Triss is different. She can only output that much magic power, only able to perform lower-tier spells, and once the limit is exceeded, she might suffer a magic backlash.

Because of this, Anya's sensations are more pronounced.

It's like when you pour a glass of water into a half-bottle, you notice a difference immediately, but if you pour it into a lake, you don't notice it at all, just see a little splash.

The Crow Queen-Triss had a hint of surprise in her eyes, her expression serious, "Your magic power has increased?"

Anya nodded affirmatively, "A little bit."

"Not much."

"But the feeling is getting clearer."

"Before, I wasn't quite sure, but after last night, I'm increasingly certain that it is only around Duncan that I experience a slight increase in magic power."

"Sometimes."

"Getting close to him, it's like touching a very faint magic vortex."

Is there really such a thing?

Why haven't I felt it?

The Crow Queen-Triss pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "Does anyone else have this feeling?"

Anya shook her head, "Currently, just me alone."

"The people around him who are close are very few. Although Severus interacts with him more, he's different from us. He relies on Avalon's power to cast spells."

Druids can cast spells using the power of divine faith, leaning towards the divine technique system of priests.

Anya used to be able to use it too.

But unfortunately, the Esoteric Buddhism she believed in with Aphrodite has completely faded away; the esoteric practice now only remains with some tricks to please men.

Currently, in the ancient Roman and Greek polytheism, probably only the Crow Queen-Triss can use a bit of power by virtue of being the High Priest, but even that's rare. The exiled divine factions no longer have the faith to worship, and coupled with the suppression of the reality laws after the great ebb of mythology, she needs to pay a considerable price to cast a powerful spell.

The Crow Queen-Triss was slightly agitated, her voice trembling, "Don't tell anyone, nor bring up this matter with anyone for the time being."

This secret is very important.

The Crow Queen-Triss felt it could even change this era.

After saying that, she glanced at Anya, "I will arrange for another member of the witch gathering to approach him."

"Do you have any objections?"

It was rare that at this moment, the Crow Queen-Triss was actually consulting Anya's opinion. Anya had really risen in standing.

Status skyrocketed!

Anya smiled elegantly, naturally charming, calmly said, "What do you take me for?"

"Insecure in my own charm, or a petty-minded village woman?"

"He still has no offspring."

"Why do you think I am so close to Igraine?"

The imperial ways differ greatly from eastern lands.

Octavian married a woman who had borne children, even letting his wife's former husband be promoted after divorce, but this was considered a political marriage. In those empire families that value offspring, especially those inclined towards political marriage, sometimes having children already is actually a bonus. As for virgin status, imperial nobility cares less since they can have as many as they want, the ruling class of this era holds immensely dreadful power.

After all, Europe has given birth to things like droit du seigneur, in fact, later on, it was used to levy taxes in disguise.

It's like the bride price paid to noble lords to redeem the bride's first-night rights.

This era still has a slave class less precious than livestock. In the empire's slave market, the cheapest virgin female slaves only cost a dozen dinars; most are very young because raising them for a few years would waste food, so not many were willing to buy them. They preferred buying boys for labor.

History doesn't need sugar-coating; history is bloody, full of cannibalistic eras.

On the island of Great Britain, after Duncan rose to power with astonishing military achievements, he reverberated in all directions, slowly liberating most slaves, converting them into semi-independent farmers. Otherwise, with Southampton besieged by enemies, what identity did Igraine have to easily summon over two thousand British Militia Legion members?

What a joke.

They were all fighting for Duncan, for freedom, for land, and Duchess Igraine was just a leader.

Duncan still doesn't have offspring. If he did, his descendants would sit on Great Britain's Iron Throne.

No one could shake that the slightest bit!

The Crow Queen-Triss pondered for a moment, then said, "Igraine is not suitable, don't mess around."

She knows more.

Igraine is the focus of the Legendary Wizard Merlin, and Merlin has become somewhat a prophecy-obsessed person, prophesying red and white dragons and the birth of King Arthur, making the Guardian Fairies of Avalon think this old man is a bit crazy.

If prophecies were so useful, why would everyone still be fighting desperately in reality?
