Chapter 398: Investigate carefully

"——Lily, please reply for me.

"Let's just say I agree with the second response, and emphasize... According to my information, Griffith does have connections with the Star Antimony people. We need to intervene in the 'search for evidence' operation—I will personally participate, and I'm 'definitely' going to find the evidence."

Aiwass said softly.

The so-called "search for evidence" is actually a house search.

Now Aiwas didn't know whether the torso of the priest graduation suit "Sister Sasha's Holy Feast" was already in Griffith's hands. This was why he needed to plunder the house carefully.

But he can indeed use this equipment.

Griffith's Path of Love profession is a blood mage, which requires consuming life to cast spells. This will also trigger the special effects of the torso part of "Sister Sasha's Holy Feast".

The Privy Council would definitely not object to this matter. Regardless of whether Aiwass could find evidence or not, they didn't want to be associated with this matter. Especially since Aiwass was so sure that he could find new evidence after two rounds of searches by the Arbitration Chamber and the Supervisory Bureau, it was likely that he had fabricated the evidence himself.

Then they would be eager to distance themselves from Griffith and not be dragged into this trouble by him - especially those ministers who had held a small meeting with Minister Griffith last night.

At the same time, this is also the last chance Aiwass gave them.

Aiwass did not expect that the first "informer" would be the only Privy Councilor.

So in his reply, Aiwass mentioned that "there were several people who sent the letter." This was a trap Aiwass had dug casually, and he didn't expect it to be used immediately.

Whether he believed it or not... after Griffith got into trouble, he would definitely convene another "Chocolate Pie Internal Meeting" to tell them the reply from "Queen Isabel" and claim that there were several other people who had also informed on him.

After his second warning, I should receive a second batch of letters of denunciation soon.

Of course, these letters were, in nature, letters of confession, because unlike their "colleagues," they did not immediately send letters to denounce the crimes.

And if I don't send a letter this time...

"……snort."

Aiwass sneered and leaned back in his chair. "It's getting cold. It's time for the old gentlemen to go home and trim their gardens."

"What's the meaning?"

Lily, who was writing a reply, looked up, a little confused.

"Gardening leave."

Aiwass explained casually.

Seeing that Lily still didn't understand, he explained further, "It means they will retain their salary, which is equivalent to paid leave. However, during this period, they are not allowed to work or enter the workplace."

"...Sounds pretty good, huh?"

Lily, the personal maid, blinked, not quite understanding.

Is it such a good thing that I can just get paid without doing any work?

"It means you're suspended from work and under quarantine. During this period, the Inspectorate and the Arbitration Office will visit you at any time, so don't leave your home... It's like house arrest."

Aiwass chuckled. "We're just leaving some wiggle room for the possibility that the investigation turns up nothing. That's why they were suspended instead of fired. But even if the investigation turns up nothing... it would still mean the Queen harbors hostility and suspicion towards them. Naturally, their circle wouldn't dare let them get close, for fear of drawing suspicion.

"--Besides, the Queen has already granted gardening leave. If they don't find out something, wouldn't that be disrespectful to Her Majesty? So the Inspectorate has to find out something...it won't be just a formality like usual."

Check, check thoroughly, check carefully—these three levels are naturally different.

Besides, there was no doubt something could be found out about these people. If the Privy Councilor hadn't warned them, they could say they hadn't expected it. But if the Camelot Minister still refused to bow to Isabel after giving her a warning... then we'd see if they were really that stubborn.

Aiwass narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze deep.

He pondered, then suddenly turned to Lily and asked, "You just said you saw Griffith talking to a beholder?"

When it comes to the Eye Demon, Aiwas can only think of the Giant Prince's brother.

After his death, he transformed into a beholder and eventually became a beholder lord - although at this time he was probably still just a beholder.

It belonged to a top-tier Rosicrucian. He was a powerful general of the Star Antimony. He was a fifth-level demon incarnation. In his spare time, he captured many demons and signed contracts with himself and his children, including this beholder.

In the original world, Minister Griffith served Count Leipzig, also a member of the Rosicrucian Order. It was natural for him to know the master of the Eye Demon.

But when Aiwas thought about it carefully, he always felt that something was not right.

——Does Griffith need this Eye Demon to act as an intermediary to contact his master?

"What else did the Eye Demon say?"

Aiwass pressed on: "Besides wanting Yulia's blood."

When Lily returned in the morning, the first thing she did was report the incident to Aiwass and explain why she had not acted as agreed.

Lily shook her head. "Beyond that, the Eye Demon didn't say anything else... but I used the 'Love Elixir' to torture Minister Griffith and got some information."

Then, she told Aiwas all the detailed information she had obtained through torture, Minister Griffith's proposal at the "Chocolate Party Conference", and her own speculation about the "Blood of Heracross" and the "Swamp People".

Finally, Lily concluded: "I can only reason this far. Perhaps there is something else I don't know..."

Although Lily is Aiwass's personal maid, it does not mean that she has no feelings for other members of the Moriarty family.

Lily was also very angry when she learned that Yulia might be hurt.

Aiwass nodded in surprise and said, "You're really good, Lily. Your impromptu decision was absolutely correct."

"As for why you're using this to hook Miss Aleister... Hmm. That's as simple as it gets."

Aiwass's mouth curled up slightly. "Before, 'I' called myself an 'Imperial Man' in front of the media."

——I am a noble of the Helasar Empire, with noble blood flowing in my veins and blessed by the Pillar God!

"These are the words Miss Aleister said at the time. These are the true words she swore to the Pillar God."

Aiwass said slowly: "Under what circumstances can one become a noble of the destroyed empire, still bleed 'noble blood', and be blessed by the Pillar God?

"—There is only one possibility. He is a Moon Child from the Imperial era, or a direct descendant of a Moon Child.

"The Eye Demon possesses clairvoyance. It likely saw me before—as the Son of the Moon, using the identity of Bayard. Therefore, it concluded that Aleister was actually a Son of the Moon who had lived for an unknown period of time. It probably escaped now to bring this information back.

"From this perspective, the information that Yulia is a Heracross is probably true. As a true Imperial, Miss Aleister probably has a way to determine royal bloodline."

No wonder……

Aiwass murmured.

He recalled the unreasonable strength that Yulia had as a child... which also happened to be a characteristic of the extinct Heracross!

"Heracross" means "the glory of Hera". The Hera here does not refer to the Queen of Heaven Hera, but to the Herasil Empire.

In the infant stage, when they could not read or write, this divine power was the means of protecting the Heracrosses. After they learned to read and write and developed rationality, this power would quickly weaken. But even at this weakening, it was still far superior to that of ordinary people.

There is no doubt that Heracross should not appear in this era.

They had all died out by the end of the Helasar Empire. Three hundred years had passed, so if there was a legacy, it wouldn't have been discovered until now.

Then there is only one possibility.

——Yulia is indeed a "swamp person".

Just as Haina's body stores fragments of Lancelot, and fragments of Aiwass as a divine entity... the "fragments" stored in Yulia may be the Butterfly of Rebellious Flame.

This may also be the reason why the Flame-Butterfly of Rebellion is a "unique" phantom demon in the game...Except the one in Yulia's body, there is no second Flame-Butterfly of Rebellion.

At the same time, this is also the reason why the Flame-Rebellious Butterfly, although it has not completed its hatching, has the status of a higher-level phantom demon and the rationality and intelligence equivalent to that of humans!

The Rosicrucians had obviously known about this for a long time, but they remained silent about it.

It wasn't until they learned about Aleister's intelligence that they revealed this secret as a bargaining chip.

If the Hellassar Empire could be rebuilt, Yulia would be the "symbol" that must be obtained.

Obviously, the Rosicrucian hoped that "Miss Aleister", a remnant of the Hellassar Empire, would take the initiative to approach them and ask them about this matter!

If Avalon didn't force Aleister away in the end, then they would try another way to lure her away in search of the truth!

Then, does his grandfather Jacob or adoptive father James have any connection with the Rosicrucian Church?

"...You want me so much."

Aiwass narrowed his eyes: "Then it's as you wish."

It seems that when I go to the Church, I really have to take the opportunity to visit Xingtan.

Update completed meow!

I would like to recommend my friend A Deng’s new book, “Edge of Pure Land”!
