Chapter 1266 The Resting Savior
July 6th.
There is only one day left before Yuan Tiansi arrives.
Aiwass put on the cardinal's black robe and went to the fourth circle alone.
He received a secret letter from Ismail last night.
The messenger was Ismail's concubine, whom he always kept with him.
Her public identity was Ismail's favorite concubine, and her other identity was Ismail's biological sister. She was also one of the children persecuted and harmed by Ismail's father, and she also helped Ismail's plan to rebel against his father.
It could be said that she was the person Ismail trusted the most. But even she herself didn't know the contents of the letter—she had brought it to Aiwass while shopping. Of course, this could also be considered a form of protection for her.
Contrary to his seemingly reckless and unrestrained temperament, Ismail's writing style is surprisingly good.
He used a bold and unrestrained handwriting and a meticulous and cautious writing style to tell Aiwas everything that happened in the fourth ring in a very complete manner.
The letter detailed the time Aymar Nur summoned them, their number and order of arrival, their specific identities... their origins, and their reputations among the Benevolent Lords. It also detailed the reason for the murder of Babak, the legislator who had been killed among them, and the rebel groups he had funded... Even their plans for assassinating and ambushing Aiwas were clearly spelled out in the letter.
Ismail also spoke with particular care and detail about Aymar Nur's unique petrification spell—the strange forbidden technique that could instantly transform a person into gold. Ismail also described in detail the signs that would occur when that power was activated, and he himself took one of the broken golden finger bones of the Lawgiver Babak.
After examination, it was confirmed to be pure gold. It lacked the hollow structure and golden marrow of bones, but was instead solid gold. The connections between each bone were extremely fragile, crumbling to dust with a single twitch. Yet, the skeleton maintained its structure, remaining intact even after a slight push.
Therefore, Ismail speculated that part of the fascia was still petrified, and the "goldenization" spell was not complete. Its underlying structure still contained some of the components of the petrification spell, but it was unknown how this effect was achieved.
Without a doubt...
As a spy, Ismail had done his best.
He even persuaded Aiwass to escape quickly and take the Red Hand members with him to "take it slow and steady."
Ismail directly warned Aiwass that he had surrendered to Aiwass and was willing to help Aiwass, but this did not mean that he would choose to help Aiwass under the siege of twelve people.
That's complete nonsense!
—That's twelve sixth-level beings! One even wields a divine weapon! Aymar Nur crushed the "Legisgiver" in a split second, so how many more seconds would it take to crush this brave warrior?
Ismail claimed that if they really did fight, he would only play it safe and try not to put too much pressure on Aiwass... But he would definitely not defect with Aiwass, because that would definitely fail. And he still had family in his own territory.
If it were just him, it would be fine. But he couldn't join a resistance struggle that was bound to fail and drag down his family.
Aiwass expressed understanding.
Because Ismail really couldn't imagine how Aiwass could turn the tables in this situation -
Ismail could never have imagined that not only did Aiwass come...but he even came alone without any teammates, knowing that he was about to be targeted by more than a dozen people.
This wasn't the small gathering of yesterday; the benefactors all came with their own followers. And Aiwass's followers were no less formidable... During the clash with Aiwass, he clearly sensed the presence of more than one powerful aura within the house.
Not only he knew it, Aimar Nur should have known it as well.
That was why he was cautious not to have any direct conflict with Aiwass... in case Aiwass suddenly took out some powerful artifact, or killed him with the help of a friend, or killed too many manpower, making it impossible to fight against the Abyss in the future.
It would be better to sacrifice Aiwass directly to Yuan Tiansi - this is not a battle, but a "voluntary" sacrifice, so it will not trigger any defensive measures prepared by Aiwass in advance.
In other words...
This actually shows that Aymar Nur is a little afraid of Aiwass in his heart.
Ismaili understood this mentality well.
This is like when hunting, if one subconsciously chooses to set a trap and drive the prey towards it rather than attacking head-on, it actually indicates a subconscious unease. It is also like when one wants to murder someone, one chooses to poison or curse rather than sneak in and assassinate.
Subconsciously choosing a more cautious and safer approach is an attempt to avoid direct conflict.
I've only heard of ancient hunters using poisoned arrows and cursed weapons to fight monsters, but I've never heard of hunters using tactics and tricks to hunt fawns and hares.
——What does this indicate?
Aimar Nur, aided by twelve sixth-level transcendents, a ritualist known for his "longer preparation, stronger power," was so utterly timid that he dared not launch a surprise attack on a fifth-level junior in his own battlefield. It was precisely because of this uncharacteristic cowardice that Ismail felt... Aiwass might even win.
It turned out that only Aiwass was there, and no one else was brought along.
When he saw Aiwas standing alone at the door against the light... Ismail was stunned.
His first reaction was to look at the favorite concubine beside him!
——Ismail even suspected that she had not actually delivered the letter, but had colluded with her personal guards to deceive him and said that she had delivered it?
"Sorry for the wait, everyone."
Looking at the various expressions on the faces of the benevolent masters, Aiwass spoke slowly, pacing forward: "Sorry... am I the last one?"
The light and shadow cast on his face made him look more divine, like a statue in a temple.
Aymar Nur, the Good Lord of Holy Spring City, subconsciously sat up straight, a gentle smile appearing on his old face: "Welcome—Aivas of Hope! Our great Pope of Humanity! Resting Savior!"
As the retiring Grand Vizier spoke, he stood up from his seat - he was the one with the highest status in the audience, but he personally welcomed the arrival of Aiwass, the lowest-ranking and youngest!
There will be a second chapter soon, probably between one and two o'clock!
