Chapter 377 I Am Aleister
"Minister, logically I shouldn't stop you..."
The secretary behind the Minister of the Navy sighed: "But don't you think it's a little too late to betray now? The best time should obviously be before Captain Camus goes to see Inspector General Edward.
"And if you really want to do it, I don't even think it's necessary to keep a copy. Because if this kind of evidence-type document is not the original, it will hardly be of any use. It's better to betray thoroughly than to betray.
"Also, I think it's better to destroy the document in front of Minister Moriarty than to hand it over to him. In this way, other ministers will think that the document has been obtained, so they will attack Minister Moriarty in the newspaper, but in the end they can't produce evidence and are counterattacked by Minister Moriarty who has been prepared. Only in this way can we ensure their destruction.
"At the same time, it prevents Minister Moriarty from showing this document to prove our betrayal-the consequences of offending so many knight families and offending the royal family are the same, and they are all costs we can't afford. "
Sheldon leaned behind the old man and whispered: "And we just need to play dumb and say that we don't know where the document has gone. "
As the adjutant of the Navy, Sheldon is also the staff of Minister Ramos.
The old man was silent for a long time, lost in thought.
The gardening shears in his hand fell down with a click, cutting off one branch after another. It was not a design, but a simple venting of emotions.
Finally, the old man sighed.
"...What you said is that it is too late to betray now. It is not good.
"Why not do it to the end."
"--That's right."
A proud and cold female voice suddenly sounded from the open space, which made the old man frown suddenly.
His pupils turned into a majestic silver-white, and he turned his head to look at the source of the voice.
"Who is it!"
The old man shouted loudly: "[Come out]!"
On the one hand, he used sound as a medium to release his law spell [Majesty·Deterrence].
On the other hand, it was to let others hear his voice and take the opportunity to come to the rescue.
Although Minister Ramos was only the fourth energy level, he was the Minister of the Navy after all-according to the characteristics of the authoritarian path, power itself can be transformed into power.
The "Majesty" law spell is different from the "Punishment" spell. It does not need to sentence different crimes separately, but can only be used on people with lower status than oneself. The greater the difference in power and status, the better the spell effect.
——However, what surprised Minister Ramos was that his spell did not work at all.
This means that the other party's status is equal to him, or even higher!
Emerging from the shadows was a tall woman that the Minister of the Navy had never seen before.
She was no less tall than old Deweiss, with long hair as black as night.
Her pupils were as red as blood, and blood was still flowing from her lips. The hair was not tied up, but casually scattered behind her, still a little damp, as if it had just been washed and not completely dried.
She was wearing a classical dress of the Star Antimony nobles. The black and red silk dress was extremely gorgeous, like a formal dress to attend a banquet. Her top tightly bound her slender waist, and her lower body had a large whalebone skirt.
A black crystal silver cross hung on the towering chest. Old Deweis recognized it at a glance. It was an ancient noble ornament from the Helaser Empire!
"Good day, Minister Ramos."
The woman chuckled elegantly.
Although her tone was respectful, she didn't actually salute him at all.
Even if she didn't introduce herself, the Minister of the Navy had already recognized her identity.
"... Miss Aleister?"
The old man looked solemn and subconsciously took a half step back.
—— As the girl walked, the land under her seemed to be corrupted by a curse, and a shadow like a quagmire appeared.
And the erratic hounds, black cats, and crows loomed under her skirt, as if they were following her, but it seemed like an illusion.
"Does Aiwas know you're here?"
The old man said sarcastically. The implication was that Aiwas was her master, and she should report to him before she left.
The plan was eavesdropped by Aleister, which made his expression a little ugly. But this was not considered serious among the many crises he had faced, so the old man could still remain calm.
"Of course he knows."
"Aleister" said lightly.
The corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing an arrogant and evil smile.
She pointed at the corner of her mouth and whispered: "Guess... whose blood is this?"
"Are you... a vampire?"
Old Dewes' pupils shrank, and he really felt nervous.
If this is Minister Moriarty's blood... then he is now...
The plan was suddenly disrupted by unexpected variables, which made him feel strongly uneasy.
"Well, this is just the first visit."
"Aleister" said elegantly: "I don't want this to be the last time..."
As she said this, she took out a letter from her chest. She kissed it lightly, leaving a bloody lip print on the envelope.
She smiled charmingly and explained: "A gift - take a good look."
Then, she threw the envelope lightly. The secretary behind old DeWeese reached out and intercepted it.
At this moment, the sky suddenly became visibly cloudy. Because it was about to rain, Secretary Sheldon subconsciously put the letter in his arms.
But the old man suddenly changed color.
He suddenly raised his head and looked at "Aleister", as if he understood something.
——The next moment, twelve silver-white light spears fell from the sky.
Each group of four fell beside the old man, the secretary and "Aleister", locking them all in place.
The roar of the griffin sounded, a pure white griffin.
A young figure fell from the sky and landed safely on the spot.
She looked only one meter tall - with silver-white dragon horns and tail, and dark green pupils.
It was the new Grand Arbitrator, said to be Meg's niece... Ligeia, who has never shown her power after inheriting the position of Grand Arbitrator!
In Ligeia's hand, she was holding the silver scepter symbolizing the kingship of Avalon.
The scepter was silver-white all over, with ridges like a spine, and a small white hilt on the top, which should be a handrail for grasping. This made it look like a sword hidden in a sheath.
A metal snake covered with runes was coiled on it, as if it had life. It spread its dragon-like wings near the top, but it did not have a snake head... connected to the end of the snake body, was a sharp tetrahedron, like a pyramid. The three faces facing outward opened three green eyes at the same time.
Now the "snake head" was rotating and swinging at will. The three eyes were blinking, moving around and looking in different directions.
Ligeia could not hold her hands on the armrests-because this scepter was even taller than her!
She could only hold the upper part of the middle of the scepter, which made her look a little funny.
But the Minister of the Navy had to pay attention to the heirloom scepter.
- It was a divine weapon that could almost raise the energy level of the extraordinary people on the path of authority! Not only did he have the power of the sixth energy level, but his status was equal to that of the queen herself-the law spells under this lofty status were basically impossible to be exempted.
When Meg held it, she was the Meg that all countries feared.
"Your Excellency the Great Arbitrator..."
The Minister of the Navy thought for a moment and tried to explain something in a deep voice.
"[Be quiet]."
Ligeia said majestically: "[Before the reporters come, you are not allowed to say a word]."
The invisible power of authority spread, and he fell silent in an instant.
"--You came quite quickly."
But Aleister, who was also locked up on the side, just chuckled and interrupted him. He didn't seem to feel nervous at all, and was not ordered to shut up by Ligeia.
Sitting on the griffin was an old man. He was wearing Avalon-style clothes, but he could still capture the temperament of a foreigner from his facial features.
Old Deweis knew him.
This was the court ritualist Iben.
He was closing his eyes and muttering. It seemed that he was holding a ceremony.
...What was he doing here?
This confused old Deweis.
Then, a large number of reporters appeared outside - they were all reporters from the Glass Steps newspaper, followers of Master Janis.
They quickly set up the camera.
And old Iben also woke up.
The Minister of the Navy clearly caught a trace of anger from Iben's expression... but old Deweiss confirmed that he had not offended him.
However, the next sentence of old Iben made his heart almost stop -
"Your Excellency the Great Arbitrator, this is it! The ritual shows that the criminal who attacked Minister Moriarty is here! Another ritual has also completed the lock, and Aiwas disappeared after arriving here!"
The Minister of the Navy was only briefly delayed for a moment, and then he immediately reacted.
He argued loudly: "I don't know this person! I met her for the first time today. This is a conspiracy to frame me-"
"No need to explain, Minister Ramos."
Miss Aleister sighed artificially and smiled helplessly: "They have already found out here. They must have completely mastered the evidence of our contact."
"-Who the hell contacted you, Aleister!"
The old man cursed loudly: "I just met you for the first time today!"
Hearing this, Aleister's face changed.
She pointed at the scepter in Ligeia's hand, her expression became cold, and she sneered: "Okay, then you say it to it! Say that you didn't betray your queen, you didn't accept the invitation from Xingti, you didn't want to destroy my evidence, you didn't want to usurp His Majesty's power-say it?"
In an instant, the Minister of the Navy was choked.
"I can say it openly."
Aleister opened her arms elegantly towards the light of the spotlight in the distance, revealing a charming smile.
The Minister of the Navy was about to say something when Ligeia glared at him: "[Silence]!"
He was choked back for a moment.
And "Aleister" said leisurely: "I am the master of the Shadow Demon, the 'Aleister Crowley' they are talking about, the one who attacked and kidnapped Aiwas Moriarty... and the one who loves him very much. Aiwas is now imprisoned by me in a place only I know. If you kill me, he will die with me.
"Listen carefully, everyone. I am not from Avalon, let alone Iris. But I don't think I am from Star Antimony either. If I must be given a position - I think I should be an 'Imperial'.
"I am a noble of the Herasl Empire, with noble blood flowing and blessed by the Pillar God!
"Every word is true. Please, the Great Arbitrator, arbitrate for me in the name of the Crown Master."
"——I will arbitrate."
Hearing this, Ligeia raised her scepter and declared loudly: "It's all true."
"Aleister" turned sideways and looked at the Minister of the Navy with a smile, stretched out his hand to touch his neck and tilted his head slightly: "At this time, there is no need to do something tasteless, my dear minister?"
The Minister of the Navy looked at Aleister, then looked at Ligeia.
He sighed deeply, realized something, lowered his head and closed his eyes.
