The Shepherd's Covenant

During a ritual to summon demons, Aihuas finally recalled memories of his previous life.

This was supposed to be an online game developed and operated by his own company for six years. Now, h...

Chapter 1078 The Missing Clown and the Poet

Chapter 1078 The Missing Clown and the Poet

In the original world, Yulia's death was linked to the Noble Red, a subsidiary organization of the Rosicrucian Order, which in turn was under the command of Anna Sprengel, a secret apostle of the Celestial Order.

Before that, Anna Sprengel was also the one who created James. After James adopted Julia, he bought her the medicine to delay the outbreak of the Phantom Egg, which he also obtained through Anna.

In other words, Huantiansi has been keeping an eye on Yulia.

Death under these circumstances... Aiwass couldn't regard it as a pure accident.

That can only be a conspiracy.

Yulia might be used to replace Sizhu - the Flame-Butterfly was most likely bred by Huantiansi to be used to burn the Sinthorns and replace Sizhu!

I just don't know why... maybe it was because of his kindness to Sizhu, maybe it was because he found that the Flame-Rebellious Butterfly could not burn the Sin Thorn, or maybe it was for some other reason, Huantiansi suddenly destroyed Yulia.

——All of this was done by Huan Tiansi!

"...This is the first time I've seen the mastermind behind this being able to cover matters so comprehensively."

Aiwass complained: "He really took all the blame."

He even felt that if he encountered any accidents in the future, he only needed to shout "Damn Huan Tiansi" and he would most likely be able to directly hit the mastermind behind it...

This Huantiansi really does his job and really takes the blame when he is asked to do so!

For the speed-farming players of Nine Reincarnations, basically all the resource points, quest points, and adventure points should have been licked clean like a dog licking a plate. There is no room for other behind-the-scenes culprits to survive...

"—I just hope he doesn't disturb my wedding."

Aiwass sighed.

Hearing this, Isabel hesitated: "Hmm..."

"What's the matter, dear?"

Aiwass was keenly aware of Isabel's reaction: "Anything else?"

"Yes... or maybe not. But at least it's definitely too late now..."

Isabel shook her head, lowered her head, and had a complicated expression: "My father... Prince Albert, he hasn't come back yet."

"snort!"

Suddenly, the old duke made a loud noise.

He didn't understand the previous conversation about the Celestial Master and the Pillar God, but he was very dissatisfied with Albert. This old man, who was quite vindictive, was still very dissatisfied with Prince Albert.

Aiwass had no doubt that the old man's visit to Avalon was probably at least 30% for the purpose of confronting Albert in person and asking him if he knew what he had done.

Aiwass thought about it and opened the box for Albert: "What about the bard Yunus? Has he returned to Glass Island?"

Aiwass had already mentioned to Isabel once before that Prince Albert was currently away, using the guise of the poet Yunus to perform heroic deeds. However, the old Duke certainly didn't know about this... and Isabel might have forgotten, so Aiwass reminded her again.

But Isabel obviously didn't forget.

She cared more about her father than she let on. "I've already sent someone to investigate his whereabouts. About a month ago, I asked the Inspectorate's white gloves to help track him. Although he's been abroad, the Inspectorate also has some overseas agents..."

"...But, the inspectors lost track of him about half a month ago. It was around the time the Fallen Angels descended, so I didn't have the energy to deal with it.

"Not long ago, my inspectors concluded their investigation: he was captured by goblins."

"……ah?"

Aiwass uttered a meaningless question: "He's so old... why would the goblins invite him?"

Fairies should only like innocent children - although Yunus does have a fairy friend, and Aiwass knows this.

However, it's difficult for such filthy adults to enter the fairy kingdom. The fairies' evaluation criteria for "filthiness" can basically be summarized by various words that children resent their parents, such as "ugly", "interfering", "vulgar", and "very fierce".

People like Merlin and Aiwass, who are "good-looking and elegant" and who understand their thoughts and are willing to play with them, are "good adults," similar to the feeling of "caring sisters." Fairy scholars and fairy doctors who can use fairy magic are also like this.

"It seems the goblins are having a party... They've invited lots of poets and clowns, including Yunus. They also plan to invite lots of children."

Isabel replied.

"The Fairy's Banquet..."

Aiwass was a little confused.

He had never heard of anything like this... This might also be one of the butterfly effects he brought about.

But at least one thing is certain - if Prince Albert is really captured by the goblins and taken to the banquet, he probably won't be able to get out.

Just like the legend of "The Broken Chess Man".

This world has a similar story. Those who stray into the fairy kingdom and eat the fairy food become temporary residents. By the time they return to the material world, decades, even centuries, have passed. It's unknown how long a fairy banquet lasts... perhaps a few months, or even years. And mortals within the fairy kingdom have no way of knowing the speed of time in the outside world.

Aiwass remembers it.

He had given Prince Albert an ultimatum—he hadn't returned when the old queen died, nor had he returned for the state funeral. If he didn't return for Isabella's birthday, her coronation, or her wedding, then he wouldn't have to come back in the future.

He agreed at the time and promised to come.

But the current situation... he probably won't be able to come back.

Being captured by a goblin wouldn't put your life in danger, but there would be some strange dangers.

Because the goblin food has some special effects. Some can turn people into children, some can turn people into animals, and some can shrink people... These childlike effects are permanent.

Although he had suffered an accident, I don’t know if what he said still counts in Isabel’s eyes... After all, he really didn’t come back.

"How about I make another trip?"

Aiwass frowned and said, "I can ask Merlin to help me teleport to the fairy kingdom. If Yunus is really there..."

"—No, that's not necessary."

Isabel refused without hesitation: "I haven't told you this because...

"...I think it might be better if he didn't come back..."

Hearing this, Aiwass was stunned for a moment.

Why?

Is it because if Yunus doesn't come back, Isabel will have someone to hate?

That didn't seem right... She had only just learned the truth about the royal curse today. So why hadn't she told Aiwass about it a week or two ago?

"Because I want to hand Avalon over to Yulia. In that case, perhaps Helasar will truly have a chance to revive in our hands."

Isabel looked at the white-haired girl beside Aiwass. "But if he comes back... As a pure-blood du Lac, whose inheritance rights are higher than mine, his very existence might become the cause of unrest in Avalon."

This is also the reason why Prince Albert has not returned yet.

In the outside world's perception, he was already dead. Since he was already dead, reappearing would cause trouble for Isabel. After all, one-quarter of her bloodline was not human, and she was not an authoritarian, unable to wield even the Scepter and Crown of Avalon. Although Prince Albert was also a transcendent of the Path of Beauty, he was adaptable to the Path of Authority.

He didn't want to cause trouble for his daughter, so he buried the identity of "Albert".

...As a result, now it seems that he was buried too deeply and cannot come back to life.

"Then...are the previous words still valid?"

Aiwass looked at Isabel hesitantly.

"Then... forget it, right?"

Isabel wasn't so sure either.

She said hesitantly: "After all, he was also an accident..."

After hearing this, Aiwass understood - although Albert had abandoned her for more than ten years, she still had feelings for her father.

After all, she is not a true authoritarian and cannot be completely cruel.

Isabel was a little worried that he really hadn't returned, or wasn't willing to return...so being captured by the goblin was actually a better outcome. At least it was due to some uncontrollable force, and she could comfort herself.

"Then after the wedding is over, I'll go to the fairy kingdom and take a look."

Aiwass made up his mind.

No matter what, he was his father-in-law after all. Isabel wanted to intervene and didn't want to intervene, but he couldn't just ignore it...

"That……"

Isabel suddenly said, "I'll go with you then."

Honeymoon?

Traveling to the fairy kingdom?

"That's good."

Aiwas's eyes lit up and he nodded: "It just so happens that we're having a big banquet... That's indeed a good choice!"

"It's just a pity..."

The old duke sighed, "I can't hit that guy this time. My daughter is still single and a widow, her life is ruined. He is at least one-third responsible!"

"Father!"

Anne, somewhat embarrassed and annoyed, stopped him and said, "What do you mean by being a widow?"

That night, a pre-wedding banquet was held in the Palace of Silver and Tin.

Amidst the laughter of the crowd, the night of May 21st passed quickly.
