Chapter 516 Gray Saint
In fact, Aiwass didn't want to contact the saint at this time.
In the 2.0 plot of the game, the fleeing Aiwass and Isabel accepted help from "Pure White" and settled down in the Church.
However, this also directly attributed their identities to the Saint's side, causing them to have to start from the level of "distrust" to build up their favorability with any subsequent Cardinals.
As a result, Avalon is still doing well now. Aiwas went to study in the Theocracy, but coincidentally met this saint... This can be regarded as a conclusion of the world line.
But what surprised Aiwas the most was that Isabel was able to contact Her Highness the Saint...
This person is not someone who is easy to contact.
At this time, Aiwass looked at the crowd gradually gathering around him, knowing that he was about to become famous again.
As a guest personally welcomed by the Saint who descended to the first ring, Aiwas's image was remembered by many people on the first day he arrived in the Eternal Kingdom.
Although there is no such thing as news or newspapers in the Theocracy... after all, the natives here are elves, and elves don't keep track of time because their sleep cycles are different from humans. Just like humans don't specifically remember what time it is.
But in places where short-lived species gather, there are still information places such as bars and clubs.
——And they have absolutely no concept of “low-key”.
Six of the Pope's personal guards were standing by, surrounding them. The white cloaks behind them instantly turned red, signaling they were on a mission and that unauthorized personnel should stay out of the way.
The saint got off the unicorn and walked side by side with Aiwass.
Aiwass whispered, "Long time no see, Your Highness Pure White—Do you remember? I'm Fox. This is the detective."
Pure White tilted her head slightly.
Her eyes, bound by ribbons, seemed to glance at Sherlock who was following silently behind her, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly: "I remember.
"If I remember correctly, his identity was replaced by Lord Merlin. He only joined the promoted ones at the very end, right?"
She answered smoothly.
Soon, she asked curiously, "I have a question, Aiwass."
Without any hesitation, Chunbai called Aiwass's name directly.
"Please go ahead."
Aiwass replied politely.
"How did you recognize me?"
The saint, whose eyes were bound with white ribbons, asked softly, "I've actually always been curious... I should have, not revealed my identity."
"Didn't you say that?"
Aiwass was stunned for a moment and replied, "There are pillars of gods watching over us—not many people can do that."
"But when I first met you... my tone of voice was probably similar to that of an ordinary person."
Chunbai asked softly, "I want to ask, did you recognize me from the very beginning? Or did you only know who I was after I said that?"
Aiwass knew what pure white meant.
The reason why this eternal saint who had transformed into "Amber" came into contact with taboos was because she was too quiet.
It is somewhat similar to Isabel's original personality, but the essence is completely different - Isabel was afraid and lacking in confidence at that time, while Her Highness the Saint was too calm.
She is not socially anxious at all, nor is she emotionally indifferent or bad at speaking.
On the contrary...she is very confident, emotionally stable and calm in her actions.
She even laughs!
No matter whether she was ridiculed, scolded, attacked, framed or faced life-threatening danger, Her Highness the Saint was not nervous at all and did not care.
Even if she was about to be stewed, she would calmly discuss the evils of cannibalism. If she couldn't explain herself and couldn't win, given her personality, she might even help prepare the spices.
Just like Aiwass before him - not caring about anything and too self-centered.
Therefore, she has no fear at all and will not panic or lose her composure no matter what happens.
Just like the code name "Pure White" given to her by the Pope, she has a pure and flawless spirit.
"Actually, if we have to say it's confirmed, it was only confirmed at the end."
Ai Hua said frankly: "But you are all elves after all, and they are respectful to you. So there are not many candidates."
It's nothing more than the Pope, the saint, the cardinals and a few saints, and at most the Pope's guards.
But from the very first sentence "Don't you know me?", we can tell that she must be very well-known in the Church.
There is only one "Pure White" who is very popular and has a high status in the Church.
That is the Gray Saint.
As the main storyline progresses, players will learn that the real name of "Pure White" is Gray, which means "gray". Therefore, she is also called the "Gray Saint" by players.
The Church of England does not honor the color white. The name "Pure White" is actually closer to the Pope's wish for her.
Because of this, when Aiwas first heard the universal name "Pure White," he didn't realize it was the Saint. It was only when the Saint finally returned to her calm and composed tone that he instantly realized who it was.
——Of course, the main reason is the difference in body shape.
The "Pure White" in the promotion ceremony was just a little girl of twelve or thirteen, but the Gray Saint...
When Aiwas thought of this, he subconsciously glanced at the extremely large size of her chest.
"I see..."
Gray nodded, thoughtfully.
She hesitated for a moment, then said, "Can you show me... that Flame Butterfly?"
"Her name is Leah."
Aiwas nodded and released the flame butterfly that had been hidden in his sleeve from the beginning.
The Gray Saint carefully took the Flame Butterfly on her fingertips and walked a little slower.
She gently brought Flame Butterfly close to her eyes, which were covered with white gauze, and whispered as if she was afraid of waking her up, "Your relationship... is very close?"
"She is my sister...well, you could say, daughter."
When Aiwass answered, his expression was somewhat strange.
When he was talking to Leah in private, Aiwass had no idea that one day in the future he would be publicly executed in public.
——At this moment they were not in any sealed meeting environment, but outside.
The Saint's tour naturally attracted many onlookers, and Aiwass was also among them.
At this distance, their conversation would definitely be overheard. After all, the concentration of extraordinary people in the Theocracy was too high.
So Aiwass could only pretend to be calm and act as if "this is normal, what's wrong with it?"
"No wonder……"
The Saint was not at all surprised by Aiwass's words. Instead, she felt that it was a natural consequence.
She nodded: "Your Majesty said..."
She paused and added, "I mean, His Holiness the Pope said that you might be the descendant of Die Tiansi."
"……ah?"
Aiwass was stunned for a moment.
Do I still have this ingredient?
Am I not a swamp person? Even if I am not a swamp person, I should have nothing to do with Die Tiansi, right?
...Or did Jacob add some seasoning?
This is not impossible...
With distrust of his grandfather, Aiwass was also a little unsure: "Is that so? Actually, I'm not sure..."
Because Aiwass really wasn't sure what he was.
But the passers-by around suddenly became alert, and it was obvious that some people left immediately after receiving this information.
—Did you hear that?! His Holiness the Pope has personally admitted that Minister Moriarty of Avalon is a descendant of Die Tiansi!
“Actually, I don’t think so.”
Surprisingly, Chunbai objected, "Your Majesty's opinion differs from mine. I think her point of view is a bit exaggerated and too direct."
She said without hesitation, "I think the Pope is wrong," but Aiwass didn't dare to respond.
The inseparable and intimate relationship between each generation of Pope and the Saint is like that of mother and daughter. In this sense, she can be said to be the only daughter of the contemporary Eternal Pope.
The Saint holds a high position in the Eternal Church, and can even be said to be the "Vice Pope".
If the Eternal Pope is responsible to the upper levels, then the Saint is responsible to the lower levels.
Their job is very simple, which is to "play the Pope".
Because the Pope is burdened with sins and cannot move freely, no matter what kind of activities, speeches, ceremonies, rituals, festivals...any occasion that requires the Pope's presence is basically attended by the saints - some documents are written by the Pope, and some are written by them themselves.
Whenever she appears as Pope, she also calls herself Pope. Therefore, this is not acting as a representative, but acting.
In a sense, the Saint is the "real Pope" of the Eternal Church.
"So what do you think...?"
Aiwass inquired.
Just then, as they were about to turn the corner, Aiwass unconsciously touched the unicorn.
The saint's footsteps paused for a moment.
And when she saw that the unicorn didn't react to Aiwass's touch, she tilted her head in confusion.
She did not answer Aiwass's words, but said: "Are you tired, Aiwass?"
"...It's only less than three kilometers, I don't think... you should be tired?"
Just as Aiwas was about to say that he was not tired, he felt that Her Highness the Saint might have something to say, so he raised his head and answered tentatively.
Should I be tired... or shouldn't I be tired?
"I think you're tired."
The Saint replied, "You should take a rest."
As she spoke, she grabbed Aiwass by the waist with one hand, like a cat, and brought him aboard the unicorn.
Aiwass, who is 1.82 meters tall, felt the strange experience of being a small person for the first time in the arms of the saint.
"So, you think..."
Aiwass continued to ask about the previous topic.
He was actually very curious about what the saint thought of him.
Both the Pope and the Saint were well-versed in the gods. The Saint's comments were extremely helpful to Aiwass in understanding the "Swamp Man" system.
But the saint's question made Aiwass stunned: "Are you a girl, Aiwass?"
"--ha?"
Ai Hua was stunned.
…I just spent the whole day playing with Isabelle yesterday, and now you ask me if I’m a girl?!
