Chapter 676 The Good and Bad Aiwass
Alice felt a little bit unbelievable after hearing the Master Assassin's words:
"...But, that Aiwass...if I remember correctly, he's not even twenty years old! How could he..."
"But it's also true that he's now a cardinal. Becoming a cardinal is much more difficult than defeating a succubus."
"But cardinals are supposed to be good people... If someone abuses their charm abilities, the Theocracy probably won't accept them..."
Alice murmured.
Something suddenly occurred to her: "Oh, right! Isabel - if he is a 'succubus', could it be that Queen Isabel is also controlled by him?"
"Why not?"
The Master Assassin retorted, "Use your brain more, Alice. Have imagination, and don't be confused by the illusions of common sense… Queen Isabelle lacks the willpower granted by the Path of Authority, and she has no resistance to enchantment. The fact that she was enchanted by Emma is proof of that."
"Since she can be charmed by Emma, why can't she be charmed by Aiwass, who is better than Emma, for a long time?"
"...Are you telling me that before he was twenty, Aiwass mastered advanced divine arts, charmed the Queen of Avalon, counter-charmed and defeated Emma of Star Antimony, and then became a cardinal of the Theocracy? This is unbelievable, Madam Honey Badger."
Alice shook her head repeatedly.
But the woman known as the honey badger simply stopped walking. The silent man holding the camera also stopped walking.
She turned around calmly and looked at Alice along with the cameraman.
"—You are protecting him, why?"
"……What?"
Alice was startled.
The honey badger said expressionlessly, and put his hand on Alice's slender neck: "You keep saying good things about him. Do you have a crush on him?"
"I……"
Alice's pupils trembled.
She looked at the honey badger in fear, her legs shaking uncontrollably: "No, I didn't..."
"You are most likely already controlled by him."
Mrs. Honey Badger said seriously: "Do you feel it? Swear."
"...No, I didn't. Really not. I swear I wasn't charmed by him..."
"Tell a lie I know is a lie."
"I've never smoked, really."
"Tell me something else that I know is true."
"I want to fuck that bitch Ina to death for snitching on me."
"Swear at Aiwass."
"He... he's such a piece of shit, actually manipulating the Queen of Avalon..."
After Alice finished speaking, the honey badger released her slender and cold fingers.
At this time, Alice covered her neck, and her face, which was originally fair enough, was now almost pale.
She gasped for breath, feeling a lingering chill on her neck, as if someone had just pressed a dagger against it.
"You're fine for now."
The honey badger said coldly: "If you feel any fluctuations in your thoughts in the future, come to me first. Otherwise, you know the consequences."
"I...I will..."
Alice's voice trembled.
"Hold still, Alice. Don't speak in that tone out there. Don't let your expressions and gestures fluctuate so dramatically when you speak—if you keep doing that, I'll have to ask your instructor to return the job—this kind of mission shouldn't be given to a rookie like you. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't even know you were mesmerized by Aiwass."
Mrs. Honey Badger looked at Alice and sighed. She reached out and casually adjusted Alice's collar as a less-than-effective way of comforting her.
"But……"
Alice still subconsciously wanted to defend Aiwass.
After being glared at by the honey badger, she closed her mouth helplessly.
——From the perspective of common sense and rationality, that's impossible! Arranging such a conspiracy at the age of eighteen is simply too exaggerated!
Seeing that Alice was still a little unconvinced, the honey badger sighed and rubbed her head dotingly.
"You still don't quite understand," the honey badger said softly, "In fact, we think... Aiwass is very likely not human."
"Not...human?"
Alice immediately realized what the honey badger meant: "Has he... been replaced by the Moon Child?"
"When he was in Avalon before, one of our spies passed by him and smelled a faint odor of the Moon Child."
The honey badger's cold silver-white pupils stared at Alice: "And I... just now also clearly smelled this smell.
"Besides, it's not bland."
As a master assassin and vampire hunter, the honey badger is extremely sensitive to the smell of the Moon Child.
"Since he is the Son of the Moon, then everything fits together—"
The honey badger said with certainty.
Precisely because he is the Son of the Moon, he is able to learn advanced divine arts that short-lived species cannot learn.
It was precisely because he was the Son of the Moon that he was aware of Chloe lurking in the shadows. Chloe hiding in the shadows was almost impossible to be detected by anyone, even if the other party had a higher energy level than her.
Because people who don't know about the lurking shadows simply can't think in that direction.
Just like an untrained person will not immediately look up to check the top of his head after entering a house, nor will he immediately look back to check the blind spots when turning a corner.
It's not just about being invisible, it's a "psychological blind spot."
By achieving miracles that are absolutely impossible for ordinary people to do, they hide in the blind spots of common sense and are confused by the illusions of common sense.
Only the Moon Child, their old enemy, would have the knowledge and experience to know their secret technology. And the Moon Child also happened to be related to Hengwo.
Although the Moon Child is the offspring of the Feast Master and Sister Sasha, there is a theory that the Blood Sky Master is actually the offspring of the Feast Master and Hengwo, and simply used Sasha's womb to give birth to the offspring, thus avoiding the great sin.
Then it is normal for the Son of the Moon, who is adaptable to the path of dedication, to sign a contract with Hengwo.
Same thing.
Since Aiwass is the Son of the Moon, he was able to restore order to the political situation in Avalon in a short period of time, and was able to play around with those old-fashioned knights and greedy businessmen, and even failed in the assassination of Lars Graham...all this makes sense.
Even the Hawkeye organization has heard of the true identity of "Miss Aleister", who has an ambiguous relationship with him.
The legendary Baroness Vignes-Émile Zola-Bayard.
The last generation of the owner of the large consortium "Bayard Group" - it is one of the three major consortiums in the Helasar Empire and the largest investor in the Curved Moon Manor.
According to the records of the Hawkeye Organization, she was most likely transformed into the Child of the Moon before she disappeared.
Because she also participated in the last carnival at Huyue Manor.
——As both of them are immortal children of the moon, it is normal for them to have some ambiguity between them, isn’t it?
"I'm afraid the real Aiwass died long ago in that demonologist's sacrifice ceremony."
The honey badger analyzed grimly, "So from then on, his personality changed drastically, and he grew up rapidly.
"James Moriarty, the adopted father who knew Old Aiwass well, was also killed by him afterwards. He also expelled Butler Oswald - he had previously been reluctant to let his sister Julia leave home, but later abandoned her to the Temple of Silver and Tin.
"What does the Hall of Silver and Tin mean? It's the residence of Queen Isabel, his enchanted pawn. Because of this, it's actually a prison—it's even possible that Yulia has been enchanted by him."
"But……"
Alice was still a little confused. "Even if the people of Avalon didn't discover Aiwass's conspiracy, could the Theocracy also..."
He is a cardinal after all!
Just to assassinate the queen... the Star Antimony people had already sent so many of the queen's guards...
"Yes, that's right! And the Queen's Guards—"
"Even if they arrived in Avalon, they wouldn't be able to find any trace of the Queen's previous enchantment. The most they could do is prevent Aiwass from exerting further control over her. Perhaps this is why Aiwass left Avalon and went to the Theocracy. It's also possible that the Queen has gradually broken free from her control, and so she sent the fake Aiwass here."
The master assassin, codenamed Honey Badger, scoffed. "As for the Theocracy being all good people...don't forget, the one who commissioned us to assassinate the Saint was also a Cardinal. You don't need to participate in the mission, but I must continue my mission."
"If we were truly good people, we wouldn't be here. The Theocracy is also a country, and any country is inherently filthy. That's why we have Hawkeye.
"I know you have a high opinion of him... He is indeed very handsome and polite. But that is just a disguise.
"Since he is the Son of the Moon, we must kill him—this is Hawkeye's fate."
"But...are we going to kill Aiwass in front of Queen Isabel?"
"Don't be silly."
The honey badger scoffed. "That's a fake. Her weight is different from Queen Isabel's. It must be some vampire trick of the Way of Love."
"According to our spies' reports, the real Isabel was still in the Temple of Silver and Tin last night."
"So... my photo is meaningless?"
Alice was immediately extremely disappointed.
"Yes," the honey badger commented sharply, "I suggest you destroy them to prevent any trouble."
"...No, I'd better stay."
After hesitating for a long time, Alice finally shook her head and rejected the senior's suggestion.
Just consider it a souvenir.
It is impossible to put it in the newspaper.
But maybe later on, it will be of some value…
