Everywhere I Go, I'm to Blame

Several days later, deep in the mountains, in a shabby fortress built of stones, planks, and thatch.

Naked children in simple clothes run and laugh freely, or frolic and play in the shallow streams; soldiers patrol from the towers with weapons in hand, or go out hunting; women husk grains, pick berries and herbs, and dry and smoke meat using ancient methods to preserve food...

The village, with its thousands of inhabitants, exudes a strong sense of life and prosperity.

On the warm, bright green grass, Samael lay comfortably in the shade, basking in the sun, enjoying this rare moment of peace and tranquility, feeling so content that he didn't want to leave.

"My Divine Envoy, you're here! I've been looking for you!"

However, when the red-haired princess came running with her eyes shining and calling out from afar, the ancient snake had no choice but to sit up, feeling a terrible headache.

Boudica's eldest daughter was the single-minded type; she was convinced he was some kind of Divine Envoy would save Britain, and she revolved around him day and night.

But the problem is, if you really believed in that red dragon Fafnir, I would have eaten him long ago, or even digested him completely. We should be filled with bitter hatred.

Ugh, that bastard Loki, he's always causing trouble with such wicked and despicable behavior. Every time I have to clean up his messes, I feel like I'm going to be the one who suffers.

Samael harbored resentment towards a certain God of Trickery.

The whole mess started when, in one of the Nine Worlds, the dwarf craftsman Horedmar demanded huge compensation from Loki for the murder of his son Ott. Loki then forcibly seized the treasure of another dwarf, Endvari, to pay for it.

Andvari therefore cursed that whoever possessed the ring [Andvaranot] from the treasure would be subject to endless calamities.

Fafnir, another son of Horedmar, was tempted by the immense wealth. He not only murdered his father, who had received a huge compensation, but also transformed into a dragon to guard the treasure and forced his brother Regin to leave their home.

Regin had no choice but to go to the human world. Afterward, Regin instigated the hero Sigurd to kill Fafnir and helped him reforge the fragments of the Sword in the Tree sword Gram into a complete sword. Sigurd then used Gram to kill the dragon, bathed in dragon blood, and gained an indestructible body.

Before his death, Fafnir warned Sigurd that the treasure was cursed, but Sigurd did not heed the warning and took the treasure with him, thus beginning his tragic life under the curse.

To help Loki clean up the mess, Samael guided Sigurd to go and slay the dragon ahead of time, while he himself waited in advance to secretly help kill Fafnir, who was completely corrupted by the curse.

Warrior King Sigurd obtained the dragon's blood, while the dragon's corpse became food for Samael.

As for the treasure, to avoid the curse bringing misfortune to this warrior king and causing his premature death.

Samael reluctantly confiscated the cursed objects, but as compensation, he also kept some of his own property and promised that the unfortunate child, Sigurd, could live peacefully to this day.

Overall, the warrior king who lost some treasure but gained practical benefits and a happy marriage didn't lose out.

Samael himself didn't take this trivial matter to heart, treating it as nothing more than a trip to get some roasted Dragon Meat.

After all, he had killed more than one dragon-like creature, including countless Blue Dragon Bashum, Wyvern, and Tri-horned Lion Dragon.

This isn't the first time a snake has transformed into a dragon to travel.

This has been done in places like Mesopotamia and Greece.

But now that I think about it, every time he transformed into a dragon, nothing good ever happened to him.

In Mesopotamia, those encounters were marked by constant attacks from hordes of monsters or near-death experiences at the hands of Apsu.

Greece fared even worse, being treated as a monster by Atalanta who had abducted a young girl, and nearly had him tortured to death.

And then there was this time in Britain, where they actually encountered the human form of the Star-Seeded Soldier, and got themselves into a lot of trouble.

Well, I have to say, the dragon attribute is like a firefly in the dark, a dazzling debuff that leads to trouble wherever you go.

Samael rolled his eyes and scoffed at this.

However, on the other hand, his dragon attribute was not even acquired through plunder, but was innate and of very high purity.

Because of Mother Goddess Tiamat who gave him new life, he is also known as the "Mother of the Evil Dragon".

Perhaps it is because of this that he himself has intricate connections with evil dragons.

In the Book of Revelation in the Bible, there is a separate account in verses 3 and 9 of chapter 12.

"Another strange phenomenon appeared in the sky: there was a Great Red Dragon with Seven Heads and Ten Horns, and seven crowns on its seven heads."

"The great dragon was that ancient serpent, which is called the devil or Satan, who deceives the whole world. He was hurled to the earth, and his messengers were hurled down with him."

The so-called ancient serpent naturally refers to the one in the Eden that tempted Adam and Eve to eat the forbidden fruit, thus giving humanity the sin of rebellion against God.

In the actual evolution of mythology, the snake is the origin of the dragon, and many dragon legends and images need to be considered in conjunction with the influence of the snake in the local area.

Therefore, after the destruction and rebirth, he was able to use the image of the dragon in the refreshed and filled Beast Spirit Core map with ease.

As for the lame fairy tale of "a red dragon sent to save this land, protect Britain, and lead Celts Celtic to prosperity," only the single-minded and fanatical princess would believe it wholeheartedly.

After all, dragons are basically associated with evil, so their arrival is probably a good thing, especially the Dragon Kind from the Norse Age of Gods, each one a troublesome one.

Besides, he can't even solve his own problems, so how could he have time to meddle in the messy affairs of the ancient Celts and play house with them as believers and gods?

In contrast, Queen Boudica and her other daughter are much more rational. Based on recent interactions and subtle hints, they have treated me with respect, but not fanaticism. Rather, they are sincere and genuinely kind to me.

However, with every effort comes a reward.

Samael, who had outwitted a bunch of cunning old foxes, naturally understood this point perfectly.

Now that Britain is unified, Boudica's tribe is just one of the larger ones. Faced with the expansion and power of the Roman Empire, as well as the current plundering and squeezing by the Hunnic cavalry, these Celts are like rats caught between two sides, and their lives are becoming increasingly difficult.

Having suffered another crushing defeat, Boudica has no more trump cards left and is barely able to control the subjugated tribes. At present, she can only pin her hopes on external forces.

Ultimately, she needed this prestige, and therefore maintained an ambiguous attitude towards Samael's identity as a "Divine Envoy".

Therefore, Samael's arrival also gave these Celts a shot in the arm.

For that Queen who was struggling to survive, whether the descending dragon was the guardian deity of the Celtic before was irrelevant; the key was that it could be in the future...

Just as Samael's thoughts were drifting, the red-haired princess who had rushed over was blocked in front of her by an arrogant, flat-chested loli.

Two figures, one tall and one short, with their foreheads touching, were arguing about who should belong to whom.

Rebuilding Celtic Glory VS You Are Rome Too?

Hmm, this is going to be interesting.

Out of sheer boredom, Samael unceremoniously leaned against a tree trunk, enjoying the two girls' heated argument.

You're from Rome too? Wait...

The Tyrant Nero, who appeared to be a tyrant who came to massacre Christians, was given the titles "666 Beast" and "Antichrist".

According to the cryptic description in the Book of Revelation, this Seven-Headed, Ten-Horned Great Red Dragon, symbolizing the first sin, was indeed entangled with Rome, and together with the "Great Harlot of Babylon" in the Bible, who represents ancient Ancient Rome, they ushered in the end times of the apocalypse.

Damn it, can't you wish me well for once? No matter where I go, I'm always in trouble.
