Chapter 847 One Hundred Years Later

Inspector Weber took Aleister to a nearby Papa's Burgers.

After asking Aleister's last name, he became obviously uneasy.

"...I don't know if you can get used to eating this."

Inspector Weber whispered, his face a little nervous, glancing around. "These are relatively cheap... civilian meals. Miss, please try them. If you really can't accept them..."

That posture looked too suspicious. If he wasn't still wearing that uniform, he would probably be mistaken for a bad guy.

"Of course, no problem. This is fine! It's not like I haven't eaten it before..."

Aleister was a little dissatisfied - this guy actually wanted to take her to eat some "proper food".

No, I just want to drink Coke!

How could I not know the food in Avalon? Even in modern times, it is definitely not good!

Unless you take me to eat iris dishes, that should be okay...

Thinking of this, Aleister, swinging his legs on a high chair, looked at the business card stuck in a disposable napkin on the table.

——Dad's Burger Shop, Camelot's earliest freshly grilled burgers, insists on hand-baking every piece of bread and grilling every fresh patty on site!

Address: 199 Wade New Street, Red Queen District, New Glass Island

Order and contact number...

...Camelot...?

Also, New Glass Island...

The familiar yet unfamiliar touch of the small card in his hand made Aleister play with it carefully, with a myriad of thoughts in his mind.

"Your meal."

At this moment, a waitress with blonde hair and glasses brought two trays to the two of them.

Chilled black sparkling water in a glass with ice cubes and a straw.

A thick burger cut in half and held together with two skewers, covered in a variety of sauces.

Aleister stared at them, then timidly picked them up and took a bite, taking another sip of the drink beside them.

She was a little scared. This thing was the same as she remembered; but she was also a little scared that it was different...

Inspector Weber stared at her even more nervously than Aleister.

But Aleister's eyes turned red instantly.

"...Ah, girl... Miss... Oh, you..."

The Inspector stood up in panic.

He didn't even care about the other person's status as someone he couldn't afford to offend, and took a tissue to wipe the other person's tears.

Seeing this girl, who was younger than his own daughter, silently shedding tears, Inspector Weber's heart softened: "It's all over, it's all over..."

When Inspector Weber first heard that she was a child of the Moriarty family, he thought she was a runaway girl.

She was a child of Lord Protector Edwards Moriarty, and judging by her age, she should be considered his great-granddaughter.

The Moriarty family has a tradition of adopting children from other families to inherit the family. It seems to be a kind of inheritance, but also a kind of curse... Biological children cannot inherit the family business. Upon reaching adulthood, they must be stripped of their surnames and move out of the mansion.

The former children of Prince Aiwass could not escape either and have become the new Du Lac.

That queen is the current Aleister I. It was after she took office that her father, Prince Aiwass, became Lord Protector.

And this child...is also called Aleister.

Sharing the same name as a monarch wasn't unusual—the nations of Hellas preferred to name their children after someone they respected, hoping their children would emulate their achievements. Aleister was once a relatively unpopular name, but since the rise of Aleister I, it's become less so.

This means that the child's parents hope that she will become a great person like Queen Aleister.

Later, her parents were killed by demons.

She cries when she eats a hamburger and drinks a Coke...obviously not because it's too delicious or too bad.

This could only be because she was thinking of the past - of the time when her parents were still alive and they brought her, a little girl, to eat at such a humble restaurant; or of the time when her parents had just passed away and she was adopted by the Moriarty family, when she was so poor that she couldn't even afford a hamburger.

“…Those demon followers deserve to die!”

Inspector Weber couldn't help but curse, subconsciously clenching his fists. "I have an old friend whose wife, son, and daughter were also killed by demon believers..."

Hearing this, Aleister raised his head: "Mr. Weber..."

"Hmm? Go ahead, baby."

Inspector Weber responded subconsciously.

But as soon as he said this, he felt a chill in his heart - he realized that his words might be somewhat presumptuous.

This is the adopted daughter of the "First Citizen"... She is very likely the future heir to the Moriarty family!

But there was no way. When Inspector Weber looked at Aleister, he always thought of his own daughter.

Sometimes, he would wonder…if he died in the line of duty, what would happen to his daughters? Or, if those villains found his address, what kind of revenge would they suffer?

Just thinking about it made his ideal of "working as an inspector until he was sixty" waver.

Fortunately, Miss Aleister didn't seem to realize that he had said the wrong thing.

She just opened her mouth and asked timidly: "Why do you... trust me so much?"

Hearing this, Inspector Waver laughed.

"You are still too young, Miss."

He tapped the earphones on his left ear and said briskly, "It's not easy to lie to the Inspector. This is the latest model. Even a little bit of a lie will call the police."

——It is true.

Aleister thought.

She deliberately told the truth to prevent the polygraph test, which obviously made sense.

As an Avalonian, she knew too well how much these authoritarian transcendents trusted lie detection.

Because of this, she obtained a lot of key intelligence through repeated probing and relying on the active leaks of information after the other party relaxed their vigilance...

First of all, Aleister confirmed that... in this era, demons and "demon believers" still exist, and they are still a major threat to Avalon.

——But the Fallen Angels are gone, so where did the demons come from?

unless……

In this world line, the Fallen Angels never died.

Similarly, it is impossible for the Fallen Angel to be promoted to a Pillar God - if he became a Pillar God, then the "demon believers" would not be so condemned by everyone.

So, in this world line... is it that the Snake Father didn't kill himself? Or...

...The Pillar God who transcended the Tao became the Heavenly Ring Master?

Inspector Weber also mentioned the name "Evans Moriarty", and he seemed to be still alive.

That was Aleister herself—or rather, the name of her true self, her master.

Logically, Aiwass should have ascended to the Dream Realm by now. Even if he didn't become a Pillar God, he should at least be a Celestial Master or a Pillar God Apostle. Yet, he hadn't survived until now... and Avalon had become Camelot.

What year is this?

Thinking of this, Aleister suddenly asked, "What day is the Sunday after next?"

"The Sunday after next?"

Inspector Weber was stunned when he heard this.

He frowned and thought for a while, then took out his cell phone from his chest.

After unlocking it, he opened the calendar: "The Sunday after next is... um, the 22nd."

"let me see!"

Aleister said, taking the phone from Inspector Weber.

Inspector Weber handed over the phone - there was nothing confidential on his phone anyway, and he was watching it, so there was no need to worry about anything going wrong.

Moreover, this young lady seemed very polite, not like the kind of naughty kid who would break other people's things.

Sure enough, Aleister just glanced at the date carefully and then obediently returned Weber's phone.

——Even though the touch of that thing made her extremely excited.

But Aleister knew that time was not yet.

At that moment, she saw today's time.

August 8, 1999. Sunday.

This is the future, a full hundred years from now.

"...Today is August 8th."

Aleister murmured softly, "Aren't you going to the festival?"

She tried to find out if today was any special day.

As expected.

Inspector Weber simply smiled and said, "I'm not an elementalist... It's the Infinite God's festival, why would an Inspector like me join in the fun?"

..."Infinite God", elementalist.

In a trance, Aleister thought of the information.

The information given to him by his adoptive father...that his future had been destroyed.

——Huan Tiansi was once promoted to the pillar god of the "transmutation" path, the endless knot.

"What path is your daughter studying? Transmutation?"

"No, I didn't let her be a transcendent. That would be too tiring."

"But, the Elemental Emperor..."

"No matter how powerful the Elemental Emperor is, he is only one person. He is not much different from the Eternal Pope."

Inspector Weber shook his head. "If you only focus on the upper limit, you're just deceiving yourself. I hope she can become an electronic engineer... I feel her future lies there. If she later wants to become a transcendent of the Path of Wisdom or the Path of Balance, that's up to her. At least don't be like me and become an authoritarian dog... Oh, just pretend I never said that, okay?"

He hadn't intended to say so much.

But for some reason, as he was speaking, he suddenly smelled a faint fragrance, and the thoughts in his mind could not stop coming out.

The card between Aleister's fingers disappeared silently.

I have almost tried everything that needs to be tried.

For some questions, no matter how he responds, he can actually get the answer - because the real information is in the question itself.

Aleister breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately... these supervisors still haven't increased their resistance to charm, otherwise they might have run away.

She also suddenly understood why two people disappeared.

At first, Aleister thought they were petrified.

Now it seems...

...Could they have been arrested by the Supervisory Bureau as dangerous elements?

Because I can't move, I can't get through the door!
