Chapter 481 I Absolutely Don’t Believe He’s Such a Genius
After giving the most important information, Aiwass gently squeezed Isabel's hand, indicating that the performance could end.
But their conversation did not end, but continued for a little while longer.
At Aiwass's direction, they gave the consultant some useless information to slightly dilute the information content of the previous conversation.
Afterwards, Aiwass removed Sherlock's shirt and treated him in a very "normal" way - just as if he were a real bishop, the use of illumination was quite standard and lacked spirituality.
Without a doubt, this was the level Aiwass should be at. As a gifted bishop who had reached the third level at the age of nineteen, his lack of experience was understandable.
Halfway through Aiwas's treatment, "Sherlock" moved his eyes slightly and woke up slowly.
"...Mr. Bishop."
"Don't be like that, Mr. Hermes."
Aiwass nodded slightly, his face, unshadowed by the light, appearing compassionate and gentle. "Just call me Aiwass."
"...Mr. Moriarty."
"Sherlock" struggled to sit up, but was pushed back down gently but firmly by Aiwass.
He could only frown and ask in a low voice: "How is Her Highness Isabel...Oh!"
As he spoke, he saw Isabel standing behind Aiwass.
"Sherlock" suddenly realized, tears welling in his eyes: "Your Highness, I'm so glad you're okay!"
"…but I can't help at all."
Isabel looked a little melancholy: "I can only cause you trouble."
She looked timid, standing in the corner of the room, leaning gently against the floor-length mirror. Standing sideways before the mirror, Isabel's reflection reflected herself. From a distance, she looked like a pure white butterfly.
As soon as she said this, Aiwass and "Sherlock" fell silent.
So Aiwass could only give Sherlock an apologetic look, then he moved closer, pulled her out the door and whispered comfort to her.
Such acting skills...are worthy of being a transcendent in the path of beauty.
The consultant thought so as he sat alone on the bed.
He was secretly calculating in his heart.
I wonder what level of transcendent Isabel is now... If it's true that she became a transcendent in the autumn of 1898, then she's at most level two now. But if she became a transcendent as a child, she might even be level three now.
As a half-elf, if you reach the third level before the age of twenty...
...This means that she will almost certainly reach the fifth level.
Even Aiwass, the advisor thought.
In the real world, Minister Moriarty, distracted by his journey to transcendence, has been unable to advance on the path of devotion. Not only has he failed to become a bishop, he hasn't even become a priest or deacon. According to intelligence from the Royal Law University, he barely attends school anymore.
Although rumors were rife in Avalon that Aiwass's devout prayers had summoned the miracle of Hengwo, which had annihilated the succubus-like Earl Emma, as a veteran Transcendent's advisor, he naturally knew that this was impossible.
I am a lonely and self-pitying god. In His eyes, apart from the reflection, there is only myself.
Even my beloved Moon Child couldn't ask for her miracle...
And he knew very well that the blood rain was not the ability of the succubus at all...it was more like the legendary night demon.
A sacred, eerie, bleeding stone statue suddenly appears on the night of a blood moon. Only jealous vengeful beings can see its image. Praying devoutly to it can grant power at the cost of one's own soul... Therefore, in some places, the Night Demon is also known as the God of Wishes.
Compared to a transcendent who stopped attending school less than three months after becoming one, being able to summon Hengwo through prayer was a miracle. He preferred to believe that it was another pursuer of Aiwass who had made a deal with the Night Demon to protect him. After all, Queen Isabel was indeed beautiful and powerful, so it was natural for his former lover to be jealous.
——His reputation as a playboy had spread to Xingtan, so how many lovers did he have in Avalon? He didn't even dare to imagine.
As for saying that he has reached the third or even fourth level in the path of dedication... that is simply impossible.
After all, the intelligence from the Eye Demon stated that Aiwass had reached the third level of transcendence and had even defeated the last of the giant's royal bloodline.
At that time, he had only been exposed to the way of transcendence for less than half a year!
Initially, his extraordinary knowledge was given to him by Noble Red. At that time, he was nearly sacrificed by his mentor because of his adaptability to the path of dedication. Later, he used a pistol for revenge and did not seek help from the church. Obviously, he had not yet become an extraordinary person.
This kind of nearly public information can be easily found by the "Secret Room". There will definitely be no mistakes or omissions.
A child who had just reached adulthood in just six months reached the third level of dedication and transcendence... This was impossible. If one had progressed far enough on a single path, it could be said that he was sufficiently compatible with that path.
Not everyone is as talented as his beloved student "Albert Lore".
Even young Albert was exposed to alchemy and necromancy from a young age. At the age of seven, under his parents' guidance, he mastered the art of stitching corpses, and by the age of ten, he was able to raise the dead on his own. This was how he reached the fourth level of the Path of Dusk and the third level of the Path of Balance at the age of twenty-five.
That was a talent that made the consultant's scalp tingle and his heart jealous.
It would be fine if it were a path that was more compatible with beauty and dusk, authority and balance, love and transcendence.
But the consultant really couldn't imagine what kind of person could be both dedicated and transcendent.
He absolutely didn't believe that Aiwass was such a monster!
If he can reach the third level of the dual path in half a year, then what is he?
In this world line deduced by the Lord of Scales and Feathers, Aiwass did not touch the Noble Red and embark on the path of transcendence. Instead, he focused on walking on the path of dedication.
As a result, he became a bishop at the age of nineteen, becoming the youngest bishop in Avalon and even in the entire human world - this is enough to show his talent.
...I'm afraid only a genius like this can compete with Isabel.
Thinking of this, the consultant had an idea.
Intelligence as precise as Merlin's Shadow of Avalon ritual could be uncovered with a simple investigation. Simply asking a bishop about Merlin or another apostle familiar with him would be enough.
If this ritual really existed and was functioning well, then Star Antimony would not have been able to successfully invade Avalon, and Valentine VII's plan was doomed to fail from the very beginning.
It is impossible for Xingti, and even more impossible for other countries.
Based on this premise...if Star Antimony cannot withstand the pressure of the Narcissus Rebellion and eventually falls apart, then the beneficiary will be Avalon.
Although Isabel wasn't yet suited to the path of authority, one could never predict such things. Perhaps she would develop that ability after being queen for a while.
To contend with the powerful Isabel, Minister Moriarty needed his own power. He had ample funds, even controlling Lloyd's. However, he lacked sufficient high-quality transcendents. As a transcendent, he couldn't cultivate trustworthy subordinates. Apart from his unremarkable lovers, the only people around him who could be relied upon were a group of opportunistic businessmen.
Compared to moving to an iris that could split at any moment, or running to the southern continent to watch the stupid trolls grinning...
——It would be better to move the Ziggurat to Avalon and join Aiwass.
This kind of genius is worth investing in, and the always peaceful Avalon is also suitable for those who seek the twilight path like them - much more suitable than the Star Antimony that is always noisy and fighting each other.
I'll go back and ask the principal and vice principal. The consultant made up his mind.
But we cannot rule out the possibility that we will die in this ceremony or have confused memories after leaving the ceremony.
Therefore, the first thing he had to do was to find those two idiots, pass on this important information—in other words, information that could directly determine the future of the Spirit Tower—to them, and have them escape quickly.
After all, even General Karl was blown up.
Others might not know, but the advisor knew it—he might be able to control a fully hatched Balrog for a while, but it would be difficult to control it for four days. He needed support from the rear... but now they were on Glass Island, so where was the "rear"?
As a Disaster Splicer, the "himself" during the promotion ceremony certainly didn't have the elite Spliced Corpses stored in the "Amber Eggs" in his own laboratory. He wasn't a Ghoul Herder who could easily summon numerous skeletons, and he probably couldn't even utilize a third of his current strength.
This is the hallmark of the Path of the Nexus. Their extraordinary powers largely come from "pre-made" creations. This is true for botanists, alchemists, and even the apocalypse.
The ritual of the Lord of Scales and Feathers only requires survival in order to have the opportunity to complete the mission and advance.
But this also meant that simply surviving his ritual was difficult. No matter where they fled, there would be danger, and it would become increasingly dangerous as time passed.
There are only two ways to get promoted this time: either escort Isabel to the Church; or hide away and find a corner to earn points.
The former is intense enough, but manageable and relatively short-lived; the latter is undoubtedly more comfortable at the beginning, which is why it's so tempting to lure people in. As time goes on, the danger grows increasingly intense. Either option presents different dangers—just like in nature, there's no such thing as a completely safe place.
If we use this underlying design mechanism to infer what they will encounter when doing different tasks... then the answer is very clear.
——The army from Xingti will arrive at Glass Island in three days at most.
They will destroy everything.
