Chapter 417: Succubus is enchanted by humans?

Emma took Aiwas's hand and whispered softly, "Now that Her Majesty Isabelle has ascended the throne, Avalon's outdated policies, which have remained unchanged for four hundred years, can be changed. All Avalon needs to do is open its ports to our merchant ships and stop supporting the Iris people. Star Antimony can also provide Avalon with a lot of advanced technology."

"Take, for example, the elevator in this building—honestly, if it were on our side of Star Antimony, it would probably be a century-old model. Even our nobles wouldn't dare enter a building with one, for fear it would collapse.

"As long as this meeting is successfully concluded, we can also send many craftsmen to help Avalon with some infrastructure construction. As far as I know, Avalon's railway is not even complete, right?

"Star Antimony's area is over seven times that of Avalon, and its population is over ten times greater. We have now ensured that every major city has multiple railways connected. Whether it's industrial products, agricultural products, or personnel and military forces, they can all be quickly transported from one city to another.

"Avalon's office still relies on typewriters and telephones, right? I brought two fax machines this time. With them, the transfer of many documents will be much more convenient. This is a gift for Avalon and also for the newly crowned Princess Isabel..."

Emma looked at Crow and whispered, "Think about it—wasn't Avalon invaded by the Iris people decades ago? Although we, Xing Antimony, have had some unpleasant experiences with Avalon in the past in the areas of business and diplomacy, that's all in the past.

“After all, we never really invaded Avalon, but Iris’ soldiers did set foot on Avalon’s land.

“We don’t need Avalon to send troops to fight Iris, but we hope… Avalon will not send the Griffin Legion to Iris either.

"If those elite soldiers were attacked and injured in Iris, or if they harmed our people, a lot of things would become unexplainable. Then, it would be difficult for us to take action against the Iris people... I also have reason to suspect that this is a conspiracy by the Iris people. They want to use this method to drag us into the war, so that they can unite the weak against the strong and reap the benefits."

Emma's lobbying was mixed with at least five languages.

In addition to Avalon, there are also Star Antimony, Iris, Elvish, and Primordial Language. She used this method to test the language proficiency of Aiwass and Isabel.

As she spoke, she slowly pulled Aiwass into her arms.

At first, only his arm was pulled over by her, but now his whole body was almost lying on Emma.

At this moment, the crow seemed to finally be unable to bear it anymore and pecked Aiwass's neck hard.

Aiwas' body trembled, and he sat up with a start.

Emma didn't stop.

She just smiled apologetically and watched Aiwass and "Isabelle" fight.

The influence she had planted wasn't so easily undone. If a peck was all it took to wake someone up, there wouldn't have been so many Level 4 Transcendents who fell for her charm the moment they met her.

——As early as the moment they walked in and shook hands, Aiwass was already under her control.

Before the meeting, Emma was actually a little worried.

She feared that Lady Bayard would hide her shadow demon within Aiwas's shadow. If that were the case, she would have to proceed with caution and conceal her flaws. In that case, she would conceal all hostility and negotiate peace with Avalon from the bottom of her heart. She would eventually feign departure, only to return quietly, kill Yulia, and take her heart.

But now, Aiwass met with her "succubus" alone, without the shadow demon by her side...

This undoubtedly shows that Lady Bayard has really left Avalon.

Otherwise, with the jealousy of the Moon Child, she would have followed here in person even if she didn't send the Shadow Demon.

When Aiwass shook her hand and smelled the scent of the roses, his hostility and vigilance collapsed.

It was like the aroma of honey, rose petals, black tea, and red wine mixed together and boiled over low heat. The aroma of rose wine that emanated from her body was enough to intoxicate people.

Even a fifth-level transcendent could be charmed and controlled by her.

This is why Emma came to visit Avalon - if other people of the same level came to visit, Avalon would definitely send one or even two fifth-level extraordinary people to accompany them throughout the trip.

It is said to be accompanying, but in fact it is surveillance.

But if only Emma came, it would be difficult for Avalon to send someone to monitor. Although the Path of Authority had strong mental resistance, it was not necessarily able to withstand Emma's influence.

If the two of them were alone for too long, it would be a disaster if they were really controlled by Emma - given the social structure of Avalon, as long as Emma could kidnap any fifth-level extraordinary person except Janice, Xingti could immediately go to war.

This generation of Avalon didn't even have a fifth-level "preparatory master." This was the weakest moment since Avalon's founding.

This is actually the real reason why Xingti has set his sights on Avalon.

They had indeed never harbored any hatred, and the interests involved were not significant. However, Avalon had one extremely advantageous condition: they had a close relationship with the Pillar God.

Even though the Silver Crown Dragon had stopped answering the prayers of the Avalonians over the past two hundred years, unlike in the early days of the nation, when it could occasionally perform miracles or send apostles to preside over large-scale ceremonies...Avalon still had the Pillar God and the bloodline of the Apostle family.

This is what Xingbi really lacks - a relationship with the gods in the upper realm.

The reason the giants of the past were so arrogant and domineering was precisely because they had a pillar god above them. The Supreme Heaven's method of rule was completely different from that of the Silver Crown Dragon: He unscrupulously distributed his power to the giants, making them immensely powerful and actively influencing the material world.

Both the Heracle Empire and the Eternal Kingdom have apostolic relationships. The Horus Empire worships the Dawn God, and the Parthian Empire and the Taichu Empire both have Pillar God relationships. Even the dwarf-controlled Everfrost Empire has "gods" close to them.

In this area, the only beings without connections to the higher realms are Star Antimony and Iris. The rest are the lizardmen of the desert and the trolls of the south who are still in their tribal era.

This was a secret known only to the Star Antimony elite—they simply despised Avalon's ports, mining, and griffins. They wanted Avalon simply to allow these "founding families" to become the high nobility of Star Antimony, nothing more.

In that case, the relationship on Avalon's side can be directly transferred to Xingti's side!

Because of this, she truly harbored no ill will toward Aiwass…she had no desire to harm him, and her heartfelt desire was to kidnap him. They wanted Yulia simply to unlock the secret treasures left behind by the former royal family; but they wanted Aiwass because they truly wanted him.

But at this moment.

The crow on Aiwass suddenly made an extremely unusual move—

It seemed to have suddenly received some kind of attack order and started attacking Aiwass inexplicably!

Emma subconsciously stood up from the sofa and took two steps back, thus avoiding the shadow blades that swept towards her face.

With just a few swipes, it tore a long, deep wound across Aiwass's white collarbone, leaving a visible bone. Immediately afterwards, the crow began to peck at the flesh clinging to the bone, glaring at Emma resentfully as it pecked—a gesture that even made Emma feel a little distressed and baffled.

She frowned and wanted to stop him.

But Aiwass stopped him for the second time.

The wound was deep enough to reveal the bone, and the white bones were clearly visible. Isabel's cruelty and rough treatment of Aiwass made Emma feel uncomfortable and inexplicably angry.

It was clearly a pain like scraping bones, but Aiwass's face showed a calm compassion.

The next moment, Emma suddenly felt a strong desire in her heart - it was a mixture of many desires, and she could not specifically distinguish the nature of this desire.

Scarlet light shone uncontrollably from the depths of Emma's pink pupils.

It was an "8"-shaped light pattern that twisted like an Ouroboros, and it looked like a heart-shaped pattern.

At this time, the smart Emma had already understood.

——For some reason, Aiwass had been freed from his enchantment.

But she didn't even know how he did it.

With a weak mind of only the third energy level, how could you resist the charm of her fifth energy level upper phantom demon?

That is a terrifying psychic ability that even a fifth-level transcendent can control!

Even though she didn't seriously try to seduce Aiwass, this made Emma feel frustrated.

"It's been a real pleasure meeting you, Ms. Emma."

Aiwass spoke slowly, word by word, "It's like being in a hot spring on the fire of hell... It's refreshing and very relaxing."

It was clear that he had not completely broken free from control.

But the gaze he gave her, like a father, like a master, and the scent of his blood, made Emma gasp for air and her heartbeat intensify. Her fangs sprouted, and the Moon Child's side briefly triumphed over her Succubus-like side.

...I'm so thirsty and hungry...but why?

"Want to eat... my meat?"

Aiwass collapsed on the sofa, with crows picking at his flesh.

The corners of his mouth rose slightly, and his slightly hoarse voice rang out: "But it's not for you, it's for her."

A strong feeling of disappointment and sadness rose in Emma's heart, just like when her father didn't agree to buy her the hound she loved as a child. But soon, a feeling of disbelief and shame emerged... She couldn't understand why she had such a strange thought.

As a juvenile succubus, she should be able to perfectly control all her desires.

It would be ridiculous if a succubus could truly fall in love with a mortal.

Frightened and bewildered, she wanted to attack Aiwass. But for some reason, she couldn't bring herself to do it. Her gaze was completely drawn to Aiwass's pupils. An overwhelming desire to obey rose within her—not even her "father's" command was as powerful as this.

——This seems to be a charm.

She quickly realized the nature of this anomaly.

But this only made her feel ridiculous and shameful - the succubus was seduced by humans in turn?

"For a moment, I wanted to kill you."

As if he could really kill her, Aiwass spoke slowly, word by word, to Emma's absurdity: "The moment I first realized I was under your control."

But for some reason, Emma had no intention of laughing at Aiwass at all.

Only a strong feeling of grievance came over her heart, which made her eyes fill with tears in an instant.

At that moment, she seemed to return to her childhood and become the little girl who was ruthlessly rejected by her father for everything she wanted.

"...But I quickly rejected that idea. Not because of your influence. But because you came for peace. You represent the monarch of the Star Antimony.

"I am not the monarch of Avalon, nor am I a thief of the kingdom. I have no right to decide your life or death. Whether to kill you, or to go to war with Xingti... I have no say.

"So I will hold back until she gives the order."

Aiwas's speech gradually became fluent, which also symbolized that he had completely broken free from Emma's mental control with his strong will.

But at the same time, his compassionate eyes that shocked Emma's soul and the charm that echoed in Emma's heart gradually dissipated, and the grievance and fragility in her heart also gradually dissipated.

The crow stopped pecking at Aiwass and looked up at him, its long, blood-stained beak looking incredibly ferocious.

For some reason, Emma saw strong hatred and murderous intent in the crow's eyes.

"...Looks like I can't let you stay here overnight."

Emma smiled helplessly.

She wasn't panicking at all. Instead, she asked, "Is that really all? Did you not attack me simply because your Majesty the Queen hasn't given the order yet?"

"Another reason is that I'm not ready yet."

Aiwass spoke slowly, getting up from the sofa.

He adjusted his collar, hiding the bloodied collarbone beneath his clothes. Even when he accidentally touched the wound, he didn't cry out.

He narrowed his eyes and whispered, "Next time we meet... I'll bring you a tarot card."

"Are you going to tell fortunes for me?"

Emma gradually relaxed, regaining her initial liveliness, and whispered softly like a little girl, "I want the Lovers card, is that okay?"

As a succubus, she gradually sensed Aiwass's personal preferences.

But for some reason, when she saw Aiwass stand up, she subconsciously took half a step back.

"I've already given that card to someone."

Aiwass replied calmly.

"Don't you want to shake hands when we say goodbye, dear?"

Emma came forward again with a smile and extended her hand generously.

Aiwass looked at her deeply and suddenly chuckled.

He extended his hand and shook Emma's briefly. Then, Aiwass reached out and hugged her.

Just as Emma's lips curled up into a warm and innocent smile again, Aiwass just kept a calm expression and whispered in her ear, the low and hoarse voice making her knees weak: "I am not your 'dear', ma'am.

"—your tricks won't work on me, demon."

The next moment, Aiwass gently pushed her away and then opened the door.

When Aiwass was about to go out, he turned around to look at Emma who was standing there in a daze with her hands raised in the air, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

"The tusks are not very pretty, my Lord."

He sneered at the end, but smiled as bright as the sun.

Aiwass bowed politely to Emma and then officially left.
