Chapter 675 Aiwass: Me?
After the female reporter finished taking the photos, Aiwass also became a little interested in the reporter from Iris.
"Can I ask, what's your name and which newspaper do you work for?"
"Alice, your Excellency. Alice de Harcourt."
The blonde reporter, wearing a crimson miniskirt and high heels, immediately replied, "I'm the chief reporter of the Iris Gazette... This is my business card."
As she spoke, the female reporter, who shared the same name as the little girl with the earthbound spirit, respectfully handed her simple white business card to Aiwass with both hands.
"Maybe I'll visit the Gazette when I get a chance to go to Iris."
Aiwass chuckled and handed the business card to Lily, who was quietly approaching like a shadow behind him, and emphasized: "If there is a chance in the future."
Lily quietly came over and whispered in Aiwass's ear: "She is an adaptor."
Aiwass's heart moved.
Can Lily sense the resonance of the Tao... a second-level extraordinary person?
That doesn't sound like the kind of skill a "chief" should possess. Is it because of her last name?
The Harcourt family was a renowned noble family in the Iris Kingdom. Even though the Iris were now fervently rebelling against the nobles, the people seemed to have forgotten Duke Harcourt.
Of course, this may also be because the old duke is still leading a full force of extraordinary troops stationed on the border.
...I really can't tell.
She's still a young lady.
After receiving the business card, Lily turned into a shadow again - leaving only Miss Alice, who suddenly felt a hint of fear, staring blankly at the place where Lily disappeared.
Aiwass glanced at the photographer next to reporter Alice, whose appearance was so ordinary that he could hardly remember him.
Before Lily could get out of the crowd, she clearly saw that the photographer's center of gravity suddenly moved forward a little.
——In other words, he was keenly aware that Lily was approaching.
You know, even Aiwass, who has now reached the fourth level of dual-path energy, can only barely sense Lily's presence when Lily is within two meters of him.
Is it an adapter of the fourth energy level... or even the fifth energy level?
The only people who can adapt to Iris can basically only be assassins from the "Eagle Eye" organization.
You know, the fifth level is the Master Assassin. It's unlikely that someone would suddenly appear in the Theocracy... But considering Miss Alice is here, it's not impossible for the family to assign a Master Assassin to protect her.
Alice didn't notice the brief eye contact between Aiwas and the photographer.
As the elevator rose further, the crowd around Aiwass finally began to dwindle. Initially, some wanted to follow Aiwass for a distance, hoping to continue communicating with him. However, as more and more of the Pope's guards entered the elevator, they began to feel oppressed by the solemn atmosphere and ultimately left the elevator early.
When Aiwass arrived at the 21st circle, the only people around him were Lily and Isabel, and the Pope's guards.
After verifying Lily and Isabel's identities, showing the token, and registering their blood and soul fluctuations.
They all wore jewel brooches on their chests that could record the entire process, and put on the pure white nun uniforms used by the candidates for saints.
"Please follow us."
The Pope's guard, whose face was hidden by his helmet, said in a deep voice.
This was the first and perhaps the last thing they said to Aiwass.
Afterwards, the four Pope's guards split into two groups, one in front and one behind, guarding Aiwass and his two companions in front and behind.
Four of the previously vetted "elf photographers" were also dispatched to film Aiwass and the Papal Guards from various angles.
Just like that, they passed through the empty and deserted church, and walked along the pure white corridor that seemed to be an infinite loop.
There were no sculptures or paintings, only pure white candles standing among the golden lamps, quietly burning pure white flames.
As the scent of sacred incense filled the air, the environment finally became solemn and quiet.
The four papal guards' footsteps were in perfect unison, like the sound of a mighty army. Their steps were measured in a specific rhythm, just like the second hand of a clock, maintaining a perfect rhythm of two steps every three seconds as they continued to advance.
And at this moment.
The other side.
In the 18th circle, in a dark corridor, Alice excitedly spoke to the photographer beside her, "Do you know the value of this photo? You definitely don't know!"
"Who dares to say I can't film some great news? Get the hell out of here! You're a bunch of idiots, as dumb as cow hooves..."
This seemingly reserved and generous young lady uttered vulgar words without any scruples in a secluded and deserted place.
“——Alice.”
But the unremarkable photographer behind her suddenly spoke up, "I suggest you abandon your mission and continue your interview work as usual. I will explain the situation to the leader for you."
"...Why, Master?"
Alice turned around with some confusion: "I shouldn't have revealed any flaws, right?"
"It's none of your business."
The photographer replied, "That little girl behind him—she might be Chloe, or she might be related to Chloe."
"...Chloë? You don't mean Chloë de Siliaix?"
Alice was startled.
"At your level, you haven't yet accessed this level of intelligence. Therefore, it's normal that you don't know..."
The man spoke slowly, his voice gradually becoming mixed with some metallic noises.
As he passed through a shadow, he suddenly split into two.
One was the silent middle-aged man from before, a veteran newspaper photographer who looked mediocre and common.
The other was a woman in her thirties wearing a black tights.
She has long curly golden hair similar to Alice's, but she looks more mature, intellectual and beautiful.
She tore off her tights without hesitation - the tights turned into black water, and then in the blink of an eye, turned into a set of crimson archbishop's clothes.
"—After Chloe lost contact in Avalon, the Society sent people to investigate. It's said her disappearance is related to Aiwass...
"Old Siriax was no pushover. He once wanted to go to Avalon, but the leader talked him out of it.
"Later, Emma, the 'succubus' of Star Antimony, traveled to Avalon to assassinate the Queen, but her attempt failed and she was exposed. Emma was ultimately killed by the power of the Eternal Self, invoked by Aiwass's prayers. Traces of the powerful power of the Path of Love remained at the scene.
"And according to reliable intelligence, Aiwass displayed supernatural abilities similar to those of a succubus at the subsequent round table meeting. He was able to resist the seduction of a fifth-level succubus, while possessing powerful seduction abilities himself... The leader believed he might have mastered the elves' advanced divine arts and obtained a stronger seduction ability from Hengwo than a succubus.
"Chloe is very likely bewitched by him and has become his servant. The files from the Inspectorate show that during the abduction of Aiwass's political enemies, traces of a werewolf similar to Chloe appeared. Chloe is now very likely to have been transformed into a werewolf.
"According to the association's top-secret intelligence, one of the requirements for becoming a cardinal in the Theocracy is mastering advanced divine arts and becoming a vessel for the divine descent of at least one Pillar God. The little girl behind him, at such a young age, has already touched the fourth energy wall... And judging by her habits, she almost instinctively wants to sneak into the shadows.
"—You know, stealth and shadow stealth are different. Chloe must have been controlled, which is why she revealed the society's top-secret inheritance."
The woman's expression was cold and serious: "I sensed the 'Eagle Feather' from her - if she is not Chloe, it means...
"Chloe has been devoured quietly by Aiwass."
