The British Museum is located in Bloomsbury District, and the core building alone covers an area of ​​56,000 square meters.

On both sides of the museum's main entrance, there are eight spectacular Greek Ionic columns. As a museum that collects fine books and cultural relics from all over the world, it is a rare treasure in itself.

In front of the museum, a woman wearing glasses and full of literary flavor was waiting here in advance. When she saw Rita, she took the initiative to ask.

"I am Catherine, the current curator of the British Museum. Are you the Valkyrie of Destiny?"

"Hello, just call me Rita. You must already know the purpose of my visit."

As an S-class Valkyrie, Rita did not show any intention of overpowering others. Even though she had doubts about the woman in front of her because of Hua Yi's words, Rita still appeared polite and considerate.

This attitude also concealed it just right. Rita's identity.

In the world of ordinary people, Honkai is just an epidemic, and the organizations that fight against Honkai, such as Destiny, Counter-Entropy and St. Freya Academy, are even more mysterious to them.

Like It is within the Destiny. Information such as the hierarchy of the Valkyries, although not considered confidential, is absolutely unknown to ordinary people.

If Catherine is not a member of the World Serpent or related to it, Li should be classified by now. Tata should be treated as an ordinary Valkyrie.

Most people would not think of the kind of character who stands at the top of the Valkyrie group and has an extremely humble and polite character.

Catherine showed a little strange color, looking at the person next to Rita. Hua Yi, this rare male paused for a moment, then bent down slightly to signal

"Of course, please come with me, you two."

Catherine did not explore Hua Yi's identity.

This business-like attitude seemed to reduce suspicion.

As the director of the British Museum, Catherine is undoubtedly an elite among ordinary people. But that's all.

She has no position to ask about the specific identity of the person who is destined to come.

If she goes out of her way to inquire, she is simply asking for help.

"The museum contains historical and cultural treasures from all over the world, and the epic you requested to investigate belongs to Britain's own culture, but its value is no less valuable than other exhibits."

Catherine guided Rita and Hua Yi through the museum while making introductions.

"This is a Celtic scroll that was preserved to this day around the sixth century AD, recording that period of ancient history."

Catherine stopped in front of a slate mural displayed in a tempered glass cabinet. The chain-link railings that originally surrounded this exhibit have been removed, allowing Hua Yi and Rita to observe it at a very close distance. mural.

Catherine took the initiative to introduce it.

Her role is not only to lead the way, but as the curator of the museum, Catherine should introduce the collection of the museum to the destined visitors.

"Rumor has it that in ancient times, a young man named Arthur, with the help of the great wizard Merlin, pulled out the sword in the stone and became the king of Britain. After Arthur ascended the throne, he founded the Knights of the Round Table and swore an oath to jointly defend Britain. This is a well-known story in England."

After a slight pause, Catherine asked

"Miss Rita, is there any special message hidden on this mural?"

"It's a secret. Rita responded with a smile.

After hearing this, Catherine showed an apologetic expression.

"Ah, I'm very sorry, I'm just out of academic curiosity. Then I won’t bother you anymore. If you need anything, you can contact me at any time."

"Okay, thank you curator."

Catherine seemed to feel that her speech was too rash, and left the hall. Her eyes lingered on her leaving back until she completely disappeared from sight, and Rita turned to look at Hua Yi

"Captain, do you think this Catherine is a member of the World Serpent?"

"no."

Hua Yi shook his head and saw that Rita seemed to have relaxed her vigilance. While feeling strange because of the absolute trust shown by the beautiful Valkyrie, she added

"Catherine is probably related to World Snake. The moment she just saw you, the details of her expression and physical features showed that the other person was a little nervous. If an ordinary person saw the destined Valkyrie, they would be more excited. After all, the Valkyrie has never been There is no bad reputation. He has always been the guardian of the people."

"If that's the case, why does the captain think that the other party is a relation of the World Serpent instead of a member?"

"Catherine is an ordinary person who does not possess powerful force. As the person chosen to contact us, she cannot even control her emotions to the point where there are no loopholes. If such a person is also a member of the World Snake Organization, then I may need to re-evaluate the dangers of the World Snake."

After Hua Yi and Rita wandered around London City before, they should have known that what was coming was the S-class Valkyrie and Captain Hyperion's World Serpent. The personnel they sent were either abandoned sons or capable men.

Hua Yi Thinking that Catherine was an abandoned child.

Feeling that a life form with strong Honkai energy was slowly approaching from a distance, Hua Yi smiled and shook his head, focusing on the mural.

"Rita, how true do you think the legend of King Arthur is?"

"Since it is said to be a legend, perhaps it is less than 50% true."

Rita thought carefully before giving the answer.

Hua Yi thought of Fu Hua, who was currently living in St. Freya Academy and was once revered as an immortal by countless people in China. He thought of Danzhu and Cang Xuanliu. The myths and legends below have been exaggerated, but not to the extent that they are inconsistent with the facts.

"I think this legend may very well record a true history."

"Captain, do you want to explore more of King Arthur's deeds?"

"No, compared to King Arthur, Merlin who made Arthur king is actually more special. Since he can help Arthur pull out the sword in the stone, he should also have the ability to become a king. So, did Merlin choose to become the king himself? Is it because he is a saint with no desires or because he has some pursuit that is more noble than becoming the King of Britain?"

"……"

"Merlin is the support of the great magician. Could the magic he masters be the manifestation of the key of God? I feel like if I returned to ancient Britain with the Xuanyuan Sword, which can control ice, fire and thunder, I could become a great magician or something like that."
