Chapter 535 Cardinal Loki
As Aiwass repeatedly questioned the man about the details, the image of the man in Aiwass's mind became clearer and clearer:
He wore a neatly tailored tan suit with a honeycomb-like hexagonal pattern, and his red hair was neatly combed back. Even in the scorching heat of the southern continent, he would wear dark leather shoes. Even so, he never seemed to sweat, and even when exposed to the sun, his skin remained white and radiant.
He has lived in the southern continent for many years. He has good relations with many troll tribes and interacts with goblins on a regular basis. He can speak the languages of goblins and trolls, and the trolls call him "Mr. Red Wine".
No one knows his name, only that he is a powerful and mysterious "wizard", and even his abilities and path are unclear.
--broken.
Aiwass thought.
Because he didn't know this person at all. This meant that this person had never entered the dungeon before, and was a new boss that he had provoked... He was able to kidnap the high priest's father at will in the troll tribe, and he also made the other party have no intention of resisting.
As the high priest of a tribe, it is unlikely that they would reach the fifth energy level. After all, with that level of physical bonus, they could still be forced into that state by the goblins without any organization.
If we extrapolate this back, the High Priest should also be a "Great Wizard" of the fourth energy level. This man must be at least the fifth energy level... He might even be an apostle who has obtained the power of the Celestial Priest.
“…red hair.”
Aiwass murmured: "Xiong Tiansi..."
We cannot completely rule out the possibility that they are the people of Avalon and the Noble Red, but judging from their red hair and white skin, it is at least unlikely that they are the ancient Parthian Empire, which produced many great wizards.
Soon, Aiwass had an inspiration.
He actually knew someone who was related to both Red Hair and Xiong Tiansi.
——Enyeo, the one who broke the city.
The one that the Lord of Scales and Feathers used to bait Aiwass and then caught and made into caviar.
Could they be descendants of Enyo?
There is also a worst-case scenario...
Could it be Enyo's brother, Ares the "Destroyer"?
Although Ares was bewitched by Shadow Sky's beauty and became Shadow Sky's apostle after the fall of the Supreme Heaven, perhaps he also knew that Enyo was murdered by Aiwass?
But even if we think positively, he is at least a fifth-level hostile transcendent. Judging from his title of "wizard", he should at least be a spellcaster.
——And such an enemy not only obtained Aiwass's blood, but is even in the Theocracy at this moment.
If the trolls hadn't been slacking off, I'm afraid Aiwass would have been successfully cursed...
Suddenly, Aiwass reacted: "Wait a minute, when did this happen?!"
The troll suddenly became excited when he saw Aiwass, and said hesitantly, "Two days ago, Your Excellency, Archbishop. If we had delayed too long, we would not have come to rescue you. Because we couldn't save you."
"So, you are the ones coming to the Theocracy today?"
"Arrived this morning."
"That man left the day before yesterday?"
"Yesterday. Yesterday afternoon. I had an argument with my father in the evening."
Although this young troll's grammar wasn't very good, fortunately his intelligence was fine. At least he had made the most important and crucial information clear.
Ai Hua suddenly realized something——
Perhaps, it was not because he was lucky, but because these trolls were slacking off and did not curse him.
If that man was called a "wizard" and was related to Xiong Tiansi, then he most likely possessed the ability to curse. He had Aiwass's blood, so why wouldn't he perform the curse himself instead of going through the whole process and having the troll do it?
It is very likely that he has already cast a curse on Aiwass, but the curse has lost its effect.
Why did the curse fail?
It was because, at that time, Aiwass had already obtained the latest golden characteristics!
[Dissolved Soul (Gold): Your soul transforms into a higher form. Blessings below "Medium" size no longer require rituals. You will be immune to sleep, charm, curse, and death spells, and your soul can be actively extracted from your body as a consumable.]
Aiwass was currently at the fourth energy level. To penetrate the resistance of the Dissolving Soul, a higher-ranking phantom demon of at least the sixth energy level was needed... such as the Tianshi who had been pulled down. If that man's curse couldn't penetrate this resistance, it meant he was truly at the fifth energy level.
At least it can't be Ares!
He has the trolls constantly curse Aiwass, possibly because he considers Aiwass's immunity to curses a blessed status or blessing.
The man's thinking was correct—if Aiwass's curse resistance was indeed a temporary buff, then as long as the curse continued and the coverage reached a certain level, it would definitely hit during the buff replacement process. Just one hit would indicate that the resistance had the potential to be broken.
After testing for over a day, he discovered that Aiwass's resistance coverage had exceeded 24 hours. He immediately abandoned his plan and rushed to the Church—perhaps intending to kill Aiwass alone offline.
Although I don't quite understand why he came here to kill alone in the LAN and brought the hostage with him...
Aiwass knocked on the table and cleared his throat: "I already know about your affairs, thank you very much for the information you brought.
"There's no doubt this is a villain intent on forcibly killing an archbishop in the Eternal Church. This is no longer just an ordinary vicious incident; we must strike hard. I plan to go back and prepare, and ask Her Highness the Saint tomorrow... You should know that the Saint personally came to greet me not long ago.
"Faced with this man whose background and whereabouts are unknown, we can only rely on the local elves to find him. The three of you should find a place to rest first..."
As he spoke, Aiwass handed over a black card: "I'll lend this to you."
This was the gift he had won in the lottery when he bought those things just now - it was a membership card that allowed him to stay in a deluxe double room for free for any number of days in all the hotels opened by the goblins around the world within one year.
A convenient, respectable, and inexpensive gift. Very goblin-esque, and Aiwass has no use for it.
With a legal place to stay, at least they didn't have to worry about the three of them being arrested for sleeping in the park, nor did they have to worry about the man discovering them and exposing Aiwass's whereabouts.
Moreover, the value of this item could give them temporary peace of mind, preventing them from being compelled to investigate on a whim. Although these three trolls were large, Aiwass felt they were relatively young, possessing the clear, passionate quality of a teenager.
He didn't recognize the man, and if he had changed his clothes, he might not be able to find him. Not to mention that all trolls looked the same to Aiwass, so he couldn't tell which one was the old wizard. He would have to rely on these people to identify him.
Watching the three-headed troll go away, Aiwass had a complicated expression: "Sister and the enemy..."
He and his sister Freya both lived in the Fifth Circle, and Aiwass had originally thought he would soon meet his sister, whom he had no memory of. But now it seemed that he would have to go find this hidden enemy first.
Thinking of this, Aiwass went to the thirteenth floor, intending to report the matter to Matilda.
The other side.
The fifth circle, the Crescent Moon Hotel.
The red-haired young man, wearing a gorgeous pure white suit, was meeting a guest of extremely noble status.
The man was dressed in a grey robe… a texture as light and airy as spiderweb, giving it the inconspicuous color of dust.
Around his neck, there was a black ring of thorns, hollowed out inside. It looked like a black noose around his neck.
He had long hair that faded like flames, from red to orange to purple. Although he was a man, his features were as feminine and beautiful as a woman's.
The only flaw was that his lips had been sewn with black thread, with some thread residue still remaining - this scar deeply affected his beauty.
At this moment, he was glaring at the skinny old troll standing by the fireplace.
If the old troll had stood upright, he would have been three meters tall. But his back was bare, and he looked like a brown shrimp. He wore no shackles, only red binding runes written all over his back.
At this moment, he was constantly putting round leeches mixed with black herbs into the fireplace while muttering to himself.
Each of these plump leeches was the size of a swollen sea cucumber, so large that even an adult man could hold it in one hand without both ends showing. Each one was a nearly transparent bluish-black color, with blood threads swimming inside like parasites.
"You're just going to let your troll slave cast an evil curse right in front of me?"
The cardinal with flame-colored hair turned and shouted angrily at the red-haired young man.
But the young man did not say anything about this.
He simply said with a smile, "What harm does it have to do with that, Cardinal Loki? That is the blasphemer that our Lord has specifically designated for death."
"—Are you sure you want to talk about your God in front of me?"
The cardinal known as Loki had a dark expression and his eyes burned with flames.
"certainly."
But the young man showed no fear: "Or should I call you Utgar Loki? The traitor who betrayed the Supreme Heaven?
"—Don't use illusions for too long, or you'll end up deceiving yourself.
"Although it's a bit unreasonable for me, a human, to say this, don't forget, you are a giant—the Most High should be your god."

I was typing away at a snail's pace until nine o'clock, and I couldn't take it anymore. I put a plaster on my elbow, and it immediately felt much better.
