"If there's a chance to cooperate with Britain in the future, that would be our honor."
"Honestly, just being able to see King Arthur and Lady Morgan at the same time today already makes me very happy."
But at the same time, some sharp-eyed guests had already faintly sensed that something was off.
Although they were not sure what exactly was going on, judging from the current situation, both King Arthur and Morgan le Fay seemed to place great importance on that child named Alvin.
If he really did win the favor of those two, then perhaps he would be someone very worth befriending.
Of course, that was assuming he could still come back.
After realizing this, Eulyphis's gloomy gaze flickered slightly. Leaning on his cane, he glanced at Kayneth beside him, deliberately or not, and slowly said, "You really do have a good disciple, Kayneth."
If Alvin really attracted Morgan and King Arthur's favor because of something special about him, then in the future, even just by relying on the relationship between Alvin and Kayneth, the Clock Tower would definitely become a huge beneficiary.
"But right now he may be in the Imaginary World," Kayneth's tone was calm, but there was a trace of worry in his eyes.
"Don't worry. That place is a world with no living beings, no sky, no earth, as long as the time to return arrives, I think he should be able to come back to the Clock Tower."
Eulyphis said slowly, "Besides, don't forget this is Ancient Britain, they'll have a way."
You could say Merlin was unreliable, but you could not say he was weak. As long as Merlin was still around, Eulyphis firmly believed that they would definitely be able to find Alvin.
"Maybe, we really can consider the engagement between Reines and this child," After some thought, the old man suddenly spoke again.
If Alvin could be completely bound to the El-Melloi family, then in the future, both the El-Melloi family and the family he himself belonged to might be able to leap into the top three families of the Clock Tower.
Kayneth did not respond. He knew that Alvin and Reines had been somewhat close in the past, but it definitely had not reached the level of lovers.
"Let young people handle their own affairs, and right now, the top priority is to find Alvin first."
After brushing it off with a couple of words, Kayneth's gaze could not help but fall onto the pool of black mud on the ground that was filled with an ominous aura.
Very quickly, his brows furrowed tightly.
'Why does this black mud feel so strange?'
Within this black mud, there seemed to exist some kind of indescribable "mystery." Anyone who touched it would probably have their mind affected.
Just as Kayneth was thinking this, the black mud seemed to be pulled by some kind of force and rapidly disappeared into the air.
It was absorbed by someone.
Realizing this, Kayneth followed the direction of it and looked over.
Morgan gently closed her eyes.
Beneath her feet, the black mud seemed to respond to some kind of call, flowing like water and silently surging into her body.
Kayneth was startled. He secretly sized the woman up a couple of times and quickly realized something.
'This was… Index Magecraft?'

[The Imaginary World]
Alvin stared ahead with uncertain eyes at the enormous woman who was currently in a deep sleep.
Although he had long known that transmigrators were not limited to magi, seeing such a huge beast appear right in front of him still left Alvin somewhat shocked.
'Mama Tiamat, how did she transmigrate here?'
Beast II, one of the Seven Evils of Humanity, the beast that holds the principle of "Regression," that was the identity of the sleeping woman before him.
Her full name was Tiamat, also the primordial mother goddess of creation in Mesopotamian mythology.
Even after "transmigrating," she was still in the Imaginary World, and had even remained in a long slumber the whole time.
Who would have thought Mama Tiamat was also one of the "transmigrators".
While Alvin was feeling shaken, another thought quickly flashed through his mind.
'Why would Merlin send me to a hellhole like the Imaginary World?'
Though his heart was filled with surprise, with a mentality of taking things as they came, Alvin carefully moved forward while observing the primordial mother goddess at the end of the black mud, who seemed to support this entire world.
As Alvin approached, the black mud known as the "Chaos Tide" surged violently. Waves of powerful resistance came crashing in, as if trying to stop him from getting closer.
At the same time, within this Chaos Tide, there seemed to be some extremely mysterious power that was little by little eroding his body, even his mind.
The Chaos Tide released with Tiamat at its center would erode all living beings that approached it and turn them into Tiamat's "children," causing them to lose their sanity.
But this special authority clearly had no effect on Alvin, because the body of a demonic dragon was not affected by the Chaos Tide.
"Beasts really are special, especially a beast on Mama Tiamat's level. For her, the Beast spirit origin itself is probably a kind of limitation," As Alvin advanced, he could not help but sigh inwardly.
In Alvin's understanding, every existence that became a Beast possessed utterly heaven-defying power.
However, for an existence of Tiamat's caliber as a creator god, the authority of a Beast would instead only be a shackle that restricted her power.
It was not hard to imagine just how terrifying Tiamat's power would be if she descended in the form of a primordial mother goddess.
After continuing forward, Alvin finally arrived at the end of the Chaos Tide.
"This is way too big, isn't it?"
When Alvin looked up at the primordial mother goddess standing as if between heaven and earth, he could not help but let out an exclamation.
Very quickly, as if he had thought of something, his heart tightened.
Judging by the situation, Tiamat seemed unable to control the growth of the Chaos Tide beneath her feet.
'If she steps onto the land of Britain after awakening...'
Thinking of this, Alvin immediately reached a conclusion. No matter what, Mama Tiamat absolutely could not be allowed to get close to Britain.
Thankfully, even after transmigrating, she had remained in a state of slumber. Otherwise, just imagining the scene of Tiamat stepping into Britain made Alvin's heart pound in fear.
While Alvin was still thinking about all this random stuff, without realizing it, he had already stepped into the deepest part of the Chaos Tide.
What surprised Alvin was that, although everything around him had been completely covered by the Chaos Tide while he was going deeper earlier, once he stepped into the deepest part, there was not the slightest trace of black mud to be seen at all. It was simply like a secluded paradise, just like Avalon.
At this moment, Alvin suddenly heard a song by his ear, seductive and beautiful like the sirens of the sea.
Alvin's gaze shifted slightly as he stared intently toward the end of the road ahead.
There, faintly, a soft golden light seemed to spread out, filled with a sacred and gentle aura.
The sound from earlier was coming from within that light!
The singing seemed to affect one's will. Alvin took a deep breath and kept himself calm.
He raised his head and focused, and was shocked to discover that within that light, there appeared to be a woman with her hands clasped in front of her chest in a praying posture, singing out loud.
Her temperament was incomparably gentle, as if filled with a maternal radiance that embraced everything.
Yet even from a distance, Alvin could still feel that terrifying aura to the extreme.
As Alvin drew closer, the singing became clearer and clearer, and the woman's graceful figure fully entered his field of vision.
Suddenly, the woman's song lowered slightly, gradually filling with sorrow. Alvin's heart shook as he stared at her. His thoughts seemed to change along with her song, and at that moment, he felt as if countless fragmented images flashed through his mind.
The betrayal of the gods, the creation of eleven demonic beasts to battle her own children, then creating countless random lives, and after establishing the balance of Earth's environment and ecosystem, being betrayed once more, exiled to the Imaginary World, and even becoming a Beast feared and hated by all.
'Are these the things Tiamat experienced in the past?'
'No, something is wrong with this song. It seems to be affecting my mind,' Alvin secretly bit the tip of his tongue. The slight pain gradually brought him back to his senses.
When he raised his head again to look at the woman before him, there was already a bit more wariness and reverence in his eyes.
'Judging by this, the woman in front of me is probably Tiamat's spiritual body or an existence condensed from a collective of consciousness?'
'Just a single spiritual body, and it can already influence my emotions through song?'
'No, I am the white dragon of Britain. No matter what, I should not be losing my nerve this quickly.'
Alvin steadied his emotions and once again looked up at Tiamat's spiritual body before him.
This primordial mother goddess not only had an angelic, exquisitely gentle maternal radiance.
Her physical body was also extremely tempting, and even in a spiritual state, she was still very, very big… big in every sense of the word.
Although Alvin had seen what Mama Tiamat looked like in games before, seeing her in reality still left him somewhat stunned.
The shockingly full curves on her chest were filled with unimaginable elasticity and softness.
Tiamat's body itself gave off an extremely maternal, plump beauty. There were only a few strands of clothing formed from magical energy covering her, faintly revealing the primordial mother goddess's fair, delicate waist and slender, graceful legs amid the gentle glow.
Her almost flawless, alluring proportions seemed to display her mature sensuality at all times.
Who would have thought a woman this "big" could exist in this world. After sneaking a few glances, the reverence that had just arisen in Alvin's heart completely vanished.
At this moment, the singing came to a gentle stop.
Tiamat seemed to sense something and turned around to look over.
Alvin had just finished adjusting his mindset and raised his head, about to speak.
But then he saw the woman tilt her head slightly and look at him in confusion.
"Aaa?"
The woman named Tiamat tilted her head. In her crimson eyes, cross-shaped starlight seemed to be branded, as she curiously sized up this "uninvited guest."
Although she was somewhat puzzled by Alvin's arrival, Tiamat did not show any hostility at all.
However, faced with the woman's words that were no less cryptic than an encrypted telegram, Alvin did not understand a single word.
He tilted his head as well, a hint of confusion in his eyes.
Tiamat seemed to realize something. She slightly opened her mouth, and a pleasant singing voice echoed through this space formed by the "Chaos Tide."
"Aaaa (Who are you)?"
Then, when she spoke again, Alvin miraculously discovered that he could actually understand what she was saying.
"I'm very sorry to disturb your slumber. I accidentally wandered into this place," Alvin said apologetically.
At the same time, he was also secretly observing her.
Like Alvin, Tiamat was, in a sense, also a dragon. She had a pair of curved, beast-like horns on her head, and a pair of crimson eyes that seemed completely free of impurities, staring straight at Alvin.
From beginning to end, she did not show the slightest bit of wariness or disgust. He could even see a kind of girlish innocence in her eyes.
If not for the fact that he could clearly feel the pressure radiating from her at this moment, Alvin would have had a hard time imagining that she was actually the primordial mother goddess from myth.
As Alvin was sighing inwardly, he suddenly heard Tiamat's voice sound by his ear again.
"Aaaaa (Are you a resident of this land)?"
Alvin's thoughts stirred, and he instinctively replied, "You know where this place is?"
Tiamat gently nodded. This time, she did not speak, but instead extended her hand, and a small white notebook condensed in her palm.
As a mother goddess from the era of creation, as long as she wished, Tiamat could create anything she wanted, including life.
Of course, the life Tiamat created was completely random, so some strange-looking creatures might appear.
The woman raised the white notebook in her hand, and a line of text quietly appeared on it.
[I know where this place is, but I also know that the outside world is different from the era I am familiar with.]
[The Imaginary World is a place used to exile and restrict my power, but I don't seem to be in the Mesopotamian region right now,] Tiamat continued writing.
Mesopotamia was the land Tiamat belonged to.
Alvin's expression shifted slightly as he said, "Can you see a string of numbers in front of you?"
Tiamat gently nodded.
Alvin's heart trembled.
'Just as expected, Tiamat has also descended in Ancient Britain as a "transmigrator".'
It was just that her existence was too special, so even after transmigrating, she still remained in the Imaginary World. Alvin understood in his heart.
