Chapter 482 Mathers: I was just saying it casually
——Given the character of that Pillar God, no matter where they run next, the army will probably catch up with them.
After all, as Sherlock, he had to flee with Princess Isabel.
Since the necessary mission was to escort Isabel, it meant they would definitely encounter danger, possibly even the greatest danger.
But with Grand Judge Shafiya accompanying them, how could they possibly be in danger? If Aiwass also went along, he might bring the Guardian Spirit with him... If a team of this size could be in danger, the advisor could only think of one possibility.
That means the two chancellors have taken action, or there will be multiple fifth-level extraordinary people arriving with the army.
Otherwise it wouldn't make sense.
This is why he initially wanted to kill Isabel. In this way, he would be freed from the constraints of his role as "Sherlock", and would not have to fulfill his responsibilities and would not have to take risks with Isabel.
What if I killed Isabel and stayed put?
He also has a mission called [The Day of Destruction is Approaching] which requires him to stay on Glass Island until the last day.
It was just the chaos of the change of the throne of Avalon, something that could definitely be resolved in two or three days. Therefore, the "Day of Destruction" mentioned in this quest must refer to something else.
For example...the complete destruction of Glass Island.
It means that something will definitely happen on the last day, so that everyone who stays on the Glass Island will suffer a catastrophic disaster.
And the consultant believes that other promoted people should also have this task.
The advisor also has another task, which is to assist the Grand Guardian in commanding the Griffin Legion to complete the decapitation operation.
Putting aside the fact that he had no knowledge of the Griffin Legion—after all, the advisor wasn't a pure wisdom mage, nor had he ever commanded a war—he had no confidence in his own command abilities, wondering if it would risk exposure or worsen the situation… Therefore, he decided not to touch it at all.
Both tasks are worth 500 points.
This shows that in the eyes of the Lord of Scales and Feathers, the dangers involved in carrying out this mission are basically the same - keeping all the secrets and escaping safely from Droste's imprisonment and torture is only a two hundred percent chance.
But now it is obvious... if Isabel has this kind of personality, then the plan to assassinate her can be directly rejected.
She might even see through his identity the moment he had the urge to kill.
This is the extraordinary intuition of the path of beauty. It is difficult to deal with and unreasonable.
The consultant sighed silently.
...I never expected that as a high-ranking member of the Star People, I would one day be chased by the Star People's army during a promotion ceremony.
After Aiwass healed his body, which had become exhausted and weak after being tortured by Minister Droste, his energy was replenished and his brain was finally able to function normally.
The consultant then took a deep breath and invoked the power of the Path of Wisdom.
As azure flames ignited beneath his pupils, his mind felt a sense of relief, and his thoughts instantly became clear. The consultant entered a state of "superintelligence," rapidly pondering strategies and formulating action plans.
——Although there are many tasks in this promotion ceremony, there are actually only three paths.
Evacuate with Isabel, stay on Glass Island, and escape to the countryside.
The dangers they face include facing multiple fifth-level transcendents, waiting for the Xingti army under the threat of a fire demon that could explode at any time, and facing the Xingti army in a state of isolation and helplessness. Undoubtedly, the third option is relatively safest and the most difficult to score points.
As for whether to kill Isabel or not, it was actually just to gain the initiative to end the promotion ceremony. However, if the number of survivors was less than six, the initiative could be ceded.
In this way, all we need to do is kill one more promoted person!
Now, two out of nine people who are promoted have died. If one more person is killed, it can be guaranteed that all the remaining people who are promoted can complete the promotion as long as they can survive to the end.
So how can we ensure survival?
——There is only one answer, and that is to help Isabel complete the Shadow of Avalon Ritual.
If the Ritual of Avalon could be triggered when there was only one person left in Du Lac... then now there are only two possibilities: it can be activated now, or it can be activated by killing Prince John.
What he heard when he pretended to be unconscious was not just the secret about Avalon and Isabel.
It is also the key clue to this promotion ceremony!
The intelligence gained through lurking, using methods similar to "faking death" was exactly how the Scale-Feathered Lord preferred to unfold the plot, perfectly in line with the behavioral logic of adapting to the Dao.
Of course, you also have to avoid the possibility of deducting points.
If completing the Shadow of Avalon Ritual is part of an ascended quest... then, as a ritual, it's most likely a quest on the path to transcendence. And it must be the final quest, the most difficult. Simply obtaining the clues to this quest is incredibly difficult.
...Fortunately, I took into consideration that there are enough demon scholars in Xingti, and the three paths I rejected did not include the path of transcendence.
So besides finding my two students and sharing this important information with them...
There are three more things to do.
First, find the ascended person "Olive" who has transcended the path, cooperate with him, and complete the Shadow of Avalon Ritual within three days; second, persuade Isabel to hand over the Shadow of Avalon Ritual to them. After all, this is the information he overheard and he can't go directly to her for specific details; third, if no one has died by then, find a way to kill another ascended person.
——Olive is a suitable object.
Using the excuse of "silencing him," he encouraged Isabel to kill him. Given Isabel's deep character and ruthless methods, she would most likely agree... This would easily complete the murder by borrowing a knife.
The deep blue flames in the advisor's eyes gradually dissipated.
He rubbed his head with a headache and felt his brain become heavy.
...What's going on with this body?
He had only been in super intelligence for a short while when he felt a headache like it was about to explode... He usually kept it on normally.
Isn't Sherlock's body too weak?
I haven't heard that he has any incurable disease...
He could only close his eyes and lie down again to rest for a while.
After only a short sleep, he was woken up again by the noise outside.
The consultant quietly stood up and walked to the door, listening quietly to the sounds outside.
He soon realized that someone who absolutely shouldn't be here at this time had appeared—
"…Court Alchemist Nobel?"
The consultant muttered, his eyes widening in disbelief.
—Albert Lore, is that you?
His most proud student, a genius whose talent in necromancy made half of the instructors in the Spiritual Tower jealous...but he obviously lacked sufficient life experience.
You, a court alchemist, go to Moriarty Manor to find the princess.
Don't you think it's a bit stupid to say that?
What the hell does the princess have to do with you?
Nobel is a star!
You, a Starman, escaped safely from the burning Temple of Silver and Tin when the Queen was suspected of being assassinated by a Starman, and then you wanted to find Princess Isabel who escaped...
...The only good thing is that because this action is so stupid, he probably won't be exposed.
But there was a possibility of being imprisoned—and being imprisoned meant he couldn't continue to complete his mission. And being tortured would be even more dangerous... The Path of Authoritarianism had the ability to make people tell the truth, and it was easy to be tortured to reveal the truth about who he was as an ascended being.
Then something bad will happen.
If I can't keep an eye on it for a while, it will cause me trouble...
The consultant felt a little numb at the back of his chest.
...No, we still have to find a way to save him.
Thinking of this, "Sherlock" cleared his throat and pushed the door open.
On the other side, Bishop Mathers also pulled Aiwass aside.
His expression was obviously a little surprised.
"...Why is Her Highness the Princess really here with you?"
"What do you mean by 'really here' with me?"
Aiwass raised his eyebrows and asked in a low voice, "What happened? Tell me in detail."
Bishop Mathers looked grim: "Something might have happened, Aiwass... Remember to lock up Master Nobel later.
"He told me about what happened at the Temple of Silver and Tin. The first part was the same as I knew, but there was something wrong at the end.
"The two princesses are exactly the same. Why is he so sure that the one rescued by Ms. Shafiya is the real princess? Moreover, he even tried to find the runaway princess... I think this is definitely not right. So he took the Carter child and tricked him into coming to you, and the result..."
——It turns out that Princess Isabel is really here with you.
Bishop Mathers had originally come out of the Candlelight Cathedral against the crowd, holding the fragment of the Holy Sword, intending to go to the Temple of Silver and Tin to check the situation.
If the phantom demon that made him feel extremely dangerous was the legendary Fire Demon... perhaps he would need to sacrifice himself to drive the Fire Demon out of the material world.
"I really didn't know Her Royal Highness the Princess would be here with you..."
Bishop Mathers couldn't help but explain.
He felt a sense of frustration as if he had just told a lie but ended up being the one who leaked the information.
He clearly doesn't know anything!
