Chapter 1041 Swan King: Really Confused
"--But there's one thing I don't quite understand...why are you rebelling now? Shouldn't Hawkeye be considered your partner?"
At this moment, Aiwass said softly, breaking the silence that had fallen into the room again: "And now the Prime Minister of Iris...
"...Isn't he the leader of the Hawkeye Organization?"
"What?!"
"ah?"
Yassen and Anne were stunned.
As Iris people, they themselves don't know this.
In other words, it is precisely because they are Iris people that the authorities are confused - the assassins of the Hawkeye Organization have assassinated many members of the current ruling party, the Giant Tree Party!
"really……"
Sherlock sighed and put down the teacup in his hand: "This is probably what Edward didn't want to tell me before."
"But you've already guessed it." Aiwass laughed.
"That's not guessing."
Sherlock asked Aiwass: "Do you remember the time when you were assassinated by the Bone Sculptor?
"At the time, the Prime Minister of Iris could easily have blamed the incident on the Hawkeye Organization, thereby suppressing the Hawkeye Organization's voice among the people. The Hawkeye Organization often assassinated various great artists, wealthy businessmen, speakers, and officials. This would naturally gain them public support in the social environment of Iris.
"For someone in power, such an organization signifies 'instability.' And now, he finally has the opportunity to suppress it, even the means to exploit it... Thus, this matter isn't a political crisis for him at all, but rather an opportunity. Yet, he's willing to gloss over the matter, even at the cost of significantly shortening his own political career.
"If this time, it's possible that he and the Hawkeye Organization reached an exchange of interests—then the assassination at the Papal election site is news he absolutely cannot suppress. Even if Iris's relationship with the Theocracy isn't close, it's the kingdom of the elves... Iris, suppressed by Star Antimony, would never dare to provoke a behemoth of this magnitude. The Theocracy's slightest anger would mean catastrophic destruction—and this incident fully meets the criteria for 'making the Theocracy angry.'
"But when I arrived at Iris, there were almost no newspapers discussing this incident. I checked old newspapers, but they were nowhere to be found. It seems there were news reports at the time, but they were largely glossed over. There were no subsequent reports either... In other words, the news was suppressed.
"—How audacious! Considering this, the Iris Assassin Order has even assassinated the Avalon royal family, the previous Pope of the Theocracy—and the current Pope of the Theocracy. Yet, such an organization has yet to be righteously disowned by the Prime Minister.
"Anyone who is a little smart should know what this means."
Sherlock sighed. "I did ask Edward for confirmation, but he was just vague... He talked for a long time, and I listened for a long time, but I couldn't get any useful information out of him. I have to say, he's becoming more and more like a qualified Avalonian civil servant."
Aiwass said happily: "Good, good..."
The old duke explained, "Because what I am preparing for is not the 'fifteenth rebellion'—but the sixteenth."
"Is the Son of the Moon going to take action?"
Aiwass raised his eyebrows.
"To be precise, it's the 'health party' that's about to take action."
The old man said.
"When is the next Iris election?"
Aiwass was a little surprised: "They can't wait for such a short time?"
——There is no doubt that history has changed again.
According to his understanding of the "plot", this shouldn't have happened in this version of Iris.
Although the Hawkeye Organization entered the dungeon in patch 4.0, the ruling party in Iris was still the Great Tree Party. This meant that the Health Party lost the next year's general election. At that time, Iris was still a parliamentary system, and the Old Duke did not launch the so-called "16th Rebellion."
Although Aiwass didn't know what specific system of government he wanted to establish - but seeing that the old man was so dissatisfied with the inexplicable and joke-like "Third Rebellion Incident", he probably wanted to restore the monarchy.
"Next February."
Anne whispered, "Maybe they really can't wait any longer..."
"——Things like war require advance preparation."
At this point, the old man glanced at Aiwass and said calmly, "If we issue a mobilization notice several weeks or even days in advance, it would be a miracle if we can win. Whether it's supplies, tactics, strategy, wartime system, or propaganda content presented to the public, everything needs to be carefully prepared.
"Those Moon Children can't hold back any longer—they've been preparing for a long time, connecting with various countries. Their rebellion is imminent...and what we need to do is precisely to put it down.
"—If we could place the blame for the Third Rebellion on these Moon Children, we could say that all of this was a conspiracy by the Moon Children to seize royal power and codify the people into bloodbaths. They did this intentionally, and that's why Iris is so unhappy. They beheaded the king, hanged the nobles, and exploited the people, precisely because they never considered themselves to be one with humans from the very beginning... If that were the case, it would be fine."
The old duke sighed, feeling very regretful: "In that case, we can usher in a result that makes everyone happy.
"As long as these Moon Children are killed, Iris's economy will recover. Iris's youth will not be so chaotic and crazy. Those messy and absurd organizations and evil ideas can be swept away! Let Iris return to our traditional past and let Iris become pure again!"
There are four irises on the national flag of the Republic of Iris.
There is one white iris and three yellow irises. The flower language of white iris is innocence, while the flower language of yellow iris is "eternal friendship" and also means "victory".
That was the relationship between the royal family and the three archdukes.
But Sherlock just said coldly: "The truth is the truth - even if a lie can satisfy many people, it will not become the truth."
"——That's not necessarily the case."
Aiwass suddenly said, making everyone's attention focused on him.
Sherlock's expression changed as he realized something.
He'd experienced this too many times. Hard work couldn't compare to talent, this ability that felt like foreseeing the future...
How on earth did he know these secrets...
As expected, Aiwass said, "I happen to know another thing—the phantom demon transformed by the Swan King is very likely under the control of those Moon Children.
"From what I understand, Iris's childish rebellions...are the result of the influence of a certain phantom demon. The third rebellion was the 'script' he wrote. He was originally going to ascend to godhood from this script...
“Even the Swan King himself probably doesn’t understand why this drama hasn’t ended yet.
"—Because now, that never-ending script is being rewritten, thereby manipulating the entire reality of Iris."
Update completed meow!
Home is still cold!
My head still hurts!
I was wondering why I caught a cold. The heater upstairs was moved out and there's one less unit! (Thumps the floor)
