Chapter 401: Offering Wings of Freedom
Avalon, the White Queen.
Aiwass, Lily and Ligeia entered the forbidden Griffith Manor openly.
"It takes the right person to be nearby to be discovered?"
Ligeia raised her eyebrows: "Do you know what you are saying?"
"certainly."
Aiwass nodded slowly: "I am talking about the holy relic."
Holy object.
It is a category of extraordinary equipment, coming from the relics of the apostles.
Because if it is one level higher and is directly blessed by the Heavenly God or even the Pillar God, it will be a sacred-level artifact.
Judging from the in-game categories, relics generally start out dark purple, with only a very small number being purple. Relic sets are the PVE graduation sets for each class at level 50.
By the time players reached level 50 and the level caps for the nine paths gradually opened up, it was already version 3.0. The Relic Set was already Tier 6—as the name suggests, the sixth version graduation set. It was also the strongest set of PvE gear in the old era.
Even the top PVP reward, "Eagle in the Shadow", is not as good as the corresponding path's relic set in PVE performance.
——The so-called PVE performance is a concept that has only been around since version 3.0. It mainly refers to the ability to fight against the Advent Celestials.
Of course, these things are only available to every player at the gameplay level.
In terms of plot, or rather, setting, these relic sets are all unique. This is not the same as the "Eagle in the Shadow" which is rare only due to the lost craftsmanship.
"Griffith actually hid the holy relic."
Ligeia couldn't help but sigh, "You didn't decide to kill him because of this news, did you?"
Aiwass: “…”
Ligeia's expression suddenly changed: "I guess I'm right?"
"Not really."
Aiwass said calmly, "It's mainly to make an example of someone."
"[The main thing is]..."
repeated Ligeia.
"That's partly the reason."
Aiwass said honestly, "But you see, it's already a foregone conclusion that he and Xingti were in cahoots... so it wasn't a mistake to kill him, was it?"
Ligeia wanted to say something, but sighed instead: "Forget it, whatever you want. You are more or less a Transcendent, and it is definitely impossible to ask you to follow the rules honestly..."
"Little Isa doesn't have the power of the authoritarian path after all. It's a good thing you can help her smash these old things."
The young girl uttered some old-fashioned words.
Aiwass said helplessly: "I was joking, Miss Ligeia. You don't really believe it, do you?"
"What about the truth?"
"Because he insulted Isabel and wanted to hurt Yulia."
Aiwass's voice was low.
Ligeia's steps suddenly stopped. She turned to look at Aiwass beside her, watching a moment of gloom appear on his gorgeous face.
Aiwass turned around and smiled brightly. "Ah, did I scare you, old man?"
"Not yet, boy. I'm not old."
Ligeia said coldly, following Aiwass again.
She thought for a moment and nodded.
This is good, this guy is somewhat protective of his own people... or maybe it can't be said to be "a little".
And Yulia was also a protective person, so at least Isabel wouldn't suffer any loss.
After Sophia's funeral, Janice would leave for the Theocracy. But even if she left... if anyone bullied Isabel, Aiwass would definitely take action.
Aiwass was not the type of knight who would argue and duel in the Hall of the Round Table.
——In Ligeia's opinion, Aiwass did not have any masculine spirit of a knight.
He's more like a gloomy villain—a gentle smile on his face, ready to kill someone. But compared to a true villain, Aiwass's "bad tricks" are actually good things.
Thinking of this, Ligeia was suddenly stunned.
She looked up at Aiwass, but she no longer saw his brief displeasure, but only a gentle, polite and distant smile.
Because just now, Ligeia suddenly realized something:
Aiwas's current style of doing things basically adopts two completely opposite strategies - either to perform dedication through transcendental acts, or to gain transcendence through dedication.
Whenever Aiwass does something that seems cruel and vicious, what he ultimately wants to achieve is some good results; and when he does something good like a hero, his ultimate goal is often to "transcend."
"...What a contradictory and awkward person."
Ligeia sighed softly.
In fact, Aiwass was sweating in his heart.
——Because he was actually not sure whether Sashatao was here.
It was just a rush of words that led him to brag like that.
Logically speaking, Griffith could use this equipment. Moreover, he obtained this equipment before he became the Son of the Moon - that is why he was transformed into a special Son of the Moon with the "Dragon Blood Mark".
This holy object was given to him by his master, Count Leipzig.
Count Leipzig was one of the three Rosicrucian leaders, a Moon Child nurtured by the Red Prime Minister. As the Red Prime Minister's frontline representative, he essentially inherited the Red Prime Minister's political connections as a founding hero. Despite being a relatively unprivileged star among the Moon Child, he could still be considered immensely powerful and wealthy. A mere relic... a perfectly reasonable reward for him to bestow.
If Griffith is an important chess piece that can be watched by the Eye Demon, then in order to ensure the smooth implementation of the plan, given the generosity of Count Leipzig, he will most likely give something good as a deposit.
The beholder, transformed from the brother of the giant prince Wolfram, was also the "descendant" of the Red Phase.
——"Succubus" Emma, one of the first demonic incarnations sacrificed in the Tail Ring Ceremony of the Fallen Angels' descent.
If the "Red Phase" Lord is used as an intermediary, then Wolfram, the Eye Demon, Emma, Count Leipzig, Griffith... these people can be connected together.
It was for this reason that Aiwas was certain that Griffith must have something good in his hands.
...If I don’t find it, I will be laughed at by Ligeia.
They were supposedly searching for evidence, but in reality, neither Aiwass nor Ligeia were particularly focused. Rather, they were wandering around the manor, admiring Griffith's collection of antiques and artwork from the Imperial era.
Soon, Aiwass's footsteps suddenly stopped.
"Ligeia—"
He shouted loudly, his voice filled with uncontrollable excitement.
“Here it comes, here it comes!”
Ligeia came hurriedly with her short legs: "What's wrong?"
"I found it."
Aiwass stared at the holy image in the shrine in front of him and spoke softly.
Ligeia's face changed and she looked up at the shrine.
Inside was a stone statue of a nun, bound and in a highly suggestive pose. She looked no bigger than a figurine, her eyes covered with black veil, her arms crossed and bound across her chest, but her hands were missing. Her abdomen was also covered in black veil... and the veil looked like cut stockings.
If Ligeia had not indeed sensed a very faint divine aura, she would have had no way of being sure that this was actually a holy icon - how could this actually be a holy icon.
She squinted her eyes and stared for a long time, but still didn't dare to confirm.
So she asked Aiwass hesitantly, "Who is this... being enshrined in?"
She had some knowledge of theology, but she really didn't know the person in front of her.
"This is not a celestial minister, nor an apostle. She is the lover of the feaster, Sister Sasha."
Aiwass looked at Him and spoke softly.
“…Not even an apostle?”
Ligeia naturally knew the feaster.
That is Hengwo's apostle, a giant dragon.
But when she heard that it was just the "Apostle of the Apostles," she was disappointed: "Are you looking for her holy relics?"
"That's right."
Aiwass felt relieved and replied with a smile.
The torso of "Sister Sasha's Holy Feast" is sealed here - the skin from the abdomen, waist and lower back peeled off by Sister Sasha herself, forming a "living skin" like a butterfly that is still warm, twists and shakes on its own.
——Its name is, [Offering Wings of Freedom].
Six thousand words, updated!
Still sleepy, so the update is a little late...
