Chapter 379 Aleister's Oath
"I can swear, Your Excellency the Great Guardian."
Aleister spoke slowly but earnestly, "Although I cannot raise my hand, I can swear by the name of the Crown Master—although I do not believe in the Silver Crown Dragon, He will judge all impartially. I am responsible for my subsequent words and will confirm their truthfulness."
"I hold no ill will towards Avalon as a nation. I simply hope it can recover. Or at least be reborn from the ashes—on this point, I believe the Crown's position aligns with mine. I am only hostile to those decadent knights and corrupt ministers. I would rather destroy those decaying individuals who, though called knights, lack the slightest bit of chivalry, and leave hope and opportunity to the new generation of young people."
"I hope the people of Avalon can live in peace and prosperity. I do not want any war to happen, nor do I want any disaster to befall. If Avalon and Star Antimony ever go to war, I will definitely stand on Avalon's side. If a global disaster ever occurs, I will do my best to resolve the crisis and ensure that as many people as possible survive.
"I have great respect for Her Majesty the Queen and have a deep affection for her. I can even say that I regard her as my female elder. And after she passes away, I will also take good care of Princess Isabel and support her in becoming the future Queen Isabel.
"I'm not a demon, but a demonologist. However, I've never used any 'human' materials other than my own, and I won't be using them in the future.
"I have high hopes for Aiwas Moriarty. I love him as much as I love myself, but I will never meet him or have a deeper conversation with him. I will do everything in my power to protect his safety, his property, and everyone he cares about.
"Yes, I can take responsibility for what I said above. The Crown Master will verify and verify my sincerity."
The candle flame didn't waver at all. It even grew brighter.
That is the recognition from the Lord.
Hearing Aleister's oath, the Great Guardian couldn't help but open his eyes wide and hold his breath.
What a selfless, selfless and devoted love this is!
At that moment, he even felt a sense of confusion, to the point of feeling a certain jealousy towards this lucky kid Aiwass—even with his good temper, he would find this hard to believe.
What kind of charm does Aiwass have to be able to fascinate Miss Crawley like this...
——This is already the level of mind control!
He even hesitated, not knowing how to start writing.
George wasn't sure if Isabel, upon ascending the throne in the future, saw the minutes of today's meeting, it would cause some kind of inexplicable trouble...
"...Can I ask you something?"
The Great Guardian felt a little embarrassed, yet genuinely curious. After all, he had just said that was the last question, but now he was going back on his word: "What exactly are your expectations of Aiwass?"
"Do I really have to tell you?"
Aleister hesitated, a rare occurrence.
"No, it's just my personal curiosity."
The Great Guardian said this, taking out a hollow silver lid and extinguishing the silver candle flame that looked like an alcohol lamp or a perfume bottle, proving his sincerity.
Aleister was silent for a long moment as she stared at the extinguished candle. Just as the Great Guardian was about to apologize and end the questioning, a brilliant smile suddenly broke out on her face.
George couldn't even describe the beauty of that smile—
It is a mixture of confidence, relief, pride, trance, sadness, determination... It is so complex, like a colorful cocktail. Just by looking at it, you can feel its breathtaking beauty, even making you reluctant to taste it.
And what Aleister said next made the Great Guardian shudder.
"I think he will become one of the new Enneads."
She said firmly.
——At that moment, George felt sweat coming down his back!
"That's unacceptable, Miss Crawley!"
His heart was pounding with fear, and the arteries in his neck were throbbing. His hand holding the pen was instantly soaked with sweat, and he even couldn't help but lift his butt a little from the chair.
Nine Pillars of God!
What does that mean!
The position of Pillar God can only be obtained by the leader of the nine great paths.
A great being who masters one of the nine laws of the world...
Becoming one of the Nine Pillar Gods also means another thing - that is to squeeze out another Pillar God.
It was well known that Aiwass was a priest devoted to the Way. Although he inherited his grandfather's gift of transcending the Way, he clearly had no talent for it.
And who is above the head of those on the path of dedication?
He is the main god of the elves, the core belief of the Church of the Nine Pillars, the source of power for all priests, and the god to whom many rituals such as weddings and funerals point!
What Aleister said meant that "Evans will kill all the elves, raze the church to the ground, make all the priests unemployed, and overturn all the traditions of the world"!
Damn, this girl is really a big hit.
It's really annoying!
"It was just a joke."
Aleister chuckled and said, "Your fire is out, isn't it? I tried to tell a lie."
—You better be kidding.
The Great Guardian thought.
Although the fire of truth had been extinguished, George's spiritual intuition as the Great Guardian told him that the girl was probably telling the truth.
At that moment, George was even glad that he had extinguished the fire of truth.
Because of this, he was able to comfort himself that he was wrong. Otherwise, if he lowered his head and saw that this was the truth, he would probably not know what to say.
"I won't write this down," the Great Guardian earnestly advised the girl, who looked at least a dozen years younger than him. "I'm not your parent, nor your teacher. It's not my place to correct your worldview... But don't tell these words to anyone else, not even to anyone else.
"Every Pillar God—even the most low-key Amber God, with the fewest followers—has numerous believers and followers. This isn't because this belief brings any benefits, but because they themselves are pioneers of the path, the initiators of the path they practice. They are the spiritual embodiment of countless transcendents who walk this path, and are their idols and worshippers.
"To insult a Pillar God is, to a large extent, equivalent to insulting all the transcendents who walk this path. For they are all 'fellow travelers'.
"Don't tell anyone... Not only will you be in trouble, but even Aiwass will be in trouble!"
“I have faith, too.”
Aleister argued, "Of course I know."
"...Then which pillar god do you believe in?"
"I believe in the Stag God of Candles. God of the sacred number three, God who binds the body with sin and burns to chase away darkness."
Aleister bowed her head respectfully and reverently, even reciting His holy number and holy name - which meant that Candlestick had a chance to hear what she said.
——How dare you say that!
The Great Guardian gasped.
Even though Sizhu has a good temper, you can't jump like that...
...Or do you think the pillar god that Aiwass can replace is the Snake Father?
That's even more outrageous!
"...Anyway, it's good that we can be friends."
The Great Guardian forcibly ended the increasingly outrageous topic: "Miss Ligeia will return the clothes to you soon. You can leave in two days - or you can leave now? Will Aiwass starve? Have you prepared food for him?"
Although after hearing the oath that Aleister had made before, he was generally relieved.
But as a father, he still has to worry about it.
After all, it didn't look like Miss Crawley had any children.
With her appearance as a young lady, it was obvious that she had servants to take care of her daily life. The nobles in Xingti were much more extravagant than those in Avalon. It was said that a single earl had hundreds or even thousands of servants... She had no experience in taking care of others, so she might be so careless as to forget to prepare food for Aiwas.
"Don't worry, he won't starve."
Aleister said leisurely: "Perhaps he can still make it to Her Majesty the Queen's funeral."
——If I can’t go hungry, then he can’t go hungry either.
——If you release me earlier, he can get out.
"Alright. That concludes the interrogation."
The Great Guardian hastily signed his name, acknowledging the legitimacy of the interrogation record in his own name and decided to end the interrogation.
Otherwise, he felt that he might have a nightmare - as soon as he closed his eyes at night, he would see the Theocracy attacking, and the leader would be the Eternal Pope.
That's much scarier than an attack from the Star People...
"Unfortunately, perhaps due to public pressure, we can't keep you as a civil servant without a portfolio, or continue to conduct various covert operations as a royal agent. But I believe that we will become friends, or at least not enemies in terms of our stance. Therefore, we will not take the initiative to deport you. You will continue to have the right to move freely on the land of Avalon - until you actually break the law and are arrested by the Inspectorate."
The Great Guardian said so.
He even left a trick up his sleeve—arrest by the "Inspectorate" instead of the "Supervision Bureau." This meant that her crimes would not be subject to official intervention until the agents of the Inspectorate investigated them.
This is enough to prove the special power of the oath sworn by Aleister.
"Alright, Miss Crawley. I should go and interrogate the other one... hopefully he'll come up with something good."
He was halfway through when he suddenly thought of something: "Oh yes, I have a request——"
George was a little embarrassed at this point. Obviously, as a man of integrity, he rarely made such requests.
But he hesitated for a moment, then said, "My son admires you very much. Can you meet him?"
——David?
Aleister raised his eyebrows.
"Why not?"
She smiled gently.
