CHAPTER 85: CHAPTER 29: THE HERO OF BRITAIN! LEGENDARY LEVEL 3

But the next human vessel is unknown, so he doesn’t need to consider these issues for now.

There’s no rush to engrave, what if the next time he loads into a human vessel and enters the real world, the era has changed again?

Archery turned into firearms? Riding turned into driving?

No rush, no rush.

Duncan’s true form is above the dimension, just like an Outer Heaven Demon, the flow of time might not even be the same; only when a human vessel is loaded does he have a link to the real world.

The first human vessel is his only anchor link to the Middle Ages era.

Undoubtedly, his initial guess about the Dimension Space was correct, only by successfully practicing with a vessel can it affect the soul of the true form in Dimension Space. In fact, before ’initiating the vessel’ and mastering it, Duncan couldn’t even reach the threshold of Legendary Level.

Leaving a name in history is not that easy.

Throughout the ages, over so many years, how many people have been able to leave their names in history, or even become legendary figures in history?

Now Duncan has become a hero of the Britons!

Even the gaze of Duke of Dingtiger toward him is passionate, as Duncan’s strength makes it impossible for him to feel a hint of jealousy. If it weren’t for Duncan turning the tide of this battle, his title as Duke might have become history.

Now, with the Saxon barbarians eyeing them covetously, Duncan is even more important in his eyes than Anya!

Tintagel Castle.

This great victory allowed Duke of Dingtiger to catch his breath; he ordered servants to prepare a celebration banquet, rewarding the soldiers, and even brought out the bottom of his chests.

He even bypassed Anya and subtly inquired if Duncan was willing to become his loyal lord.

Duncan politely declined.

At the celebration banquet.

Duke of Dingtiger looked at Anya with a hint of jealousy; he wasn’t jealous of Duncan’s martial talents, but rather envious of how this Roman noblewoman, through some charm magic, could make such a mighty warrior so loyal!

Indeed, Anya is just a seductress.

After Duncan’s polite refusal, Duke of Dingtiger was no longer as attentive to Anya as he initially was; instead, he contemplated how to poach her away.

Romans have always been arrogant.

They might not even care about a remote province like Great Britain.

The matter must be approached gradually!

Ultimately, Duke of Dingtiger is a political creature, and interests are his pursuit, so after some thought, he decided to actively seek cooperation with Anya, leveraging Roman power to resist the Barbarian Race.

This is indisputable, as in earlier years, Britain even wrote to Gaul for rescue, requesting the empire to send legions to eliminate the Barbarian Race.

But the empire eventually abandoned them.

Duke of Dingtiger can now feel the helplessness of the Britons back then, like an abandoned resentful lover, powerless to resist, ravaged by the Barbarian Race, running to seek the embrace of a distant lover, the empire, which is also too weak to protect them, ultimately leaving them to fight desperately.

It has only been a few decades since the empire’s rule over the British Province ended, after over four hundred years of rule, it’s impossible to break all ties at once.

Time engenders affection.

Over 400 years, the Britons still think their relationship with the empire is deep.

"Arrogant Romans!"

"They only care about the European continent, ignoring the remote Great Britain."

Ultimately, Duke of Dingtiger decided to compromise. After the celebration banquet, he signaled his attendant to invite Anya to the study for discussion.

No matter what, first grasp the support at hand and get through the current crisis.

Though the Saxon barbarians have retreated, their foundation hasn’t been seriously damaged; once the throne struggle is resolved, they could return at any time, possibly under the guise of avenging the king, gathering more forces to attack.

In the hall.

Anya stood up and whispered in Duncan’s ear: "The fish is on the hook."

After speaking, she gave Duncan a charming smile, her demeanor composed and elegant as she followed along.

As long as Duke of Dingtiger made a proposal, the initiative was in their hands. Anya sought not a vassal relationship but as an ally, to gain a piece of land on Great Britain.

Using the formal description—"Anya and Duncan’s group, at the request of Duke of Dingtiger, settled on Great Britain and reached an alliance to collectively resist the Saxon barbarians."

Now it’s all up to Anya’s skills!

The candlelight flickered.

Crow Queen Triss moved slowly to Duncan’s side, looking rather weary, and softly said, "Don’t worry."

"She can definitely persuade him."

The word persuasion was emphasized, suggesting a deeper meaning.

Duncan pondered, mouthed without sound: "Witchcraft?"

Crow Queen Triss nodded slightly.

She glanced around, whispered, "Anya is skilled in charm spells, able to subtly influence and change people’s minds."

"Duke of Dingtiger is not a man of firm will."

Understood.

Enchantment control spells, charm humans, mental suggestion, so Anya’s supernatural ability lies here.

No wonder she showed no performance in battle.

Her ability probably couldn’t affect someone about to cut her down in the next second.

A witch is still a witch.

Anya’s methods have amazing effects on ordinary people; no wonder Duke of Dingtiger was persuaded in a few words to give part of his troops to Duncan to command.

Would she use such a supernatural ability on him?

As if guessing Duncan’s thought, Crow Queen Triss narrowed her eyes coldly and said, "Don’t worry."

"If she dares act recklessly, I’ll whip her to death!"

That night, when Anya carefully dressed up and paid Duncan a late-night visit, Crow Queen Triss sensed something was amiss and immediately took control.

At that time, Anya likely intended to use enchantment-like supernatural abilities.

The final outcome was three whips crushing her fantasy of being a mistress.

Upon hearing this, Duncan was considerably relieved.

Despite being so intimate with Anya, engaging in close encounters, she was absent from the future deduced by the Law of Cause and Effect, meaning their relationship wasn’t as close as imagined, more like intimate partners resembling collaborators.

Crow Queen Triss would live and die with Duncan in the Law of Cause and Effect’s future, protecting him even to die under Dragon Breath, but with Anya, it was uncertain, as she ventured out mainly for her own safety.

——Weapon Master (Axe): Your mastery of axe weapons is like an extension of your body. Greatly enhances combat skills with axe weapons. Extra combat specialties: Beheading, Waist Cut, Armor Piercing, Fierce Attack.

——Sea Battle Mastery: You move as easily on the deck as on solid ground, unaffected by any disturbances. Greatly enhances combat techniques in sea battles and water battles.

The third master-level combat skill.

Duncan was not surprised, as in battles with the Barbarian Race, the most likely enhancement was in axe weapons.

Besides, his ’Strong’ ability gained a gold star, marked as a ’Barbarian Warrior,’ indicating a further enhancement of his physique.

The only thing unclear to Duncan currently is ’Odin’s Gaze.’

He doesn’t believe in the Norse Pantheon.

What’s Odin’s Gaze doing on him?

Surely it can’t be just watching him to see when he dies in battle and take him to the Heroic Spirit Hall?

In this battle, Duncan achieved significant gains, with axe-related moves in the basic combat form having further improvement, chopping even turned into a gold-framed skill, capable of splitting a person in half with a single strike.

"Truly, this is heading further down the path of a Berserker!"

A day quickly passed.

Severus rushed back on the third day, bringing with him five or six high-tier Celtic warriors, and he captured a Germanic barbarian prisoner, from whom Duncan unexpectedly learned a rumor of great interest to him.

Giant.

Scandinavia.

Duncan finally heard a rumor about supernatural creatures, just in the Northern European region, the legendary Giant, active in Viking lands.

Besides that, there are rumors of sea monsters, sea demons, half-giants, giant dragons, and other supernatural entities.

The downside is it’s very far, as it’s the territory of the Norse Pantheon.
