Chapter 453 The Fully Automatic Box Opening Machine Is Operating Stably

It was like falling asleep in a bathtub, or like returning to the arms of her mother in her childhood.

In a faint sense of security, Isabel felt her consciousness gradually sinking into the sea of ​​nothingness.

She could still vaguely feel that the taste of the intoxicating tincture was lingering in her mouth, slowly seeping into her nasal cavity from the depths of her throat.

The mellow aroma of the wine was mixed with the fragrance of sesame and basil leaves, and she could also vaguely taste the extremely clear smell of earth.

——It was like chewing the soil after a spring rain. Or eating tender asparagus with wine after cooking.

Isabel suddenly had such a thought in her mind, and instinctively felt happy that she had found this metaphor.

When she woke up again, she found herself sitting in the third seat.

Isabel turned her head and saw the familiar figure in the first seat——

He was wearing the pale white priest robe, and his body was leaning back casually on the back of the chair. His left arm resting on the armrest supported his chin, and his right hand was casually placed in front of him.

The flame butterfly was hidden in the cuff of his right hand - the sparks of fire made his cuffs look like a bonfire with sparks.

Even though his face was blurred, Isabel still easily recognized Aiwass's identity.

When she confirmed that Aiwass was also here, Isabel breathed a sigh of relief.

She is no longer as timid and fearful as she was at the beginning... If she didn't see Aiwass when she entered the venue this time, she would probably feel uneasy.

But even so, it is definitely a good thing to be matched with acquaintances.

It is better than cooperating with strangers - those who don't know the details and can't see through their nature, basically they will never see each other again in this life after the ceremony.

In this case, if you trust them, you may be betrayed at a critical moment.

...But, isn't Sherlock here this time?

Isabel thought so, and glanced around. As a result, she found that her worries came true.

- Little Sherlock didn't come in.

Although Isabel was quite confident in herself, she still believed that Sherlock was definitely stronger than her.

If Sherlock could enter this promotion ceremony, she should be ranked behind Sherlock.

Even if the order of seats in the promotion ceremony does not necessarily strictly represent the degree of strength, it is still an important reference.

And sandwiched between Isabel and Aiwass was a middle-aged man who sat upright and looked as calm and reliable as a rock.

His physique was strong, and his arms were even thicker than Isabel's thighs.

The man was very polite. After Isabel appeared, he did not immediately look at her and collect information with rude probing eyes, but closed his eyes to rest.

- Of course, you don't need to close your eyes to rest in a dream. This just means that you "have no intention of prying into other people's secrets."

Shortly after Isabel appeared, a new person suddenly appeared on her right.

It was an old man - he was dressed in Parthian style, with a white robe covering his hands and feet, and a white turban and scarf on his head.

Even in the promotion ceremony that blurred his face, no specific features could be seen at all - the only features exposed were the part above the nose and below the eyebrows.

Isabel looked at him steadily, but frowned slightly.

... Parthian?

Not quite right.

The promotion ceremony centered on Aiwas has not yet been launched, which means that most of the people participating in the ceremony are in Avalon or even in Glass Island. There are not many Parthians in Glass Island.

- Could it be Mr. Iben?

Isabel had such a thought in her mind.

The Parthian ritualist who had been in the Temple of Silver and Tin since the time of Queen Sophia was just at the third level now.

Anyway, we will know when we hear it. Even if the promotion ceremony will blur the voices of the participants, some speaking habits will not change too much - Isabel is confident that she can hear the identity of the other party.

But if it was old Iben, why did he wear the clothes of the Parthians?

And Iben appeared so late... In Isabel's cognition, his power should be stronger than hers.

"Hello, my name is Lulu. A promoted person on the Path of Beauty, good at assisting teammates and providing benefits to partners."

Thinking of this, Isabel took the initiative to ask the old man beside her: "Old sir... How should we address him?"

Hearing her question, the man sitting on Isabel's left suddenly opened his eyes and looked over with some confusion.

The hunched old man just laughed and didn't look directly at Isabel.

He lowered his eyebrows and answered: "My name is Olive, Miss Lulu. A promoted person who transcends the path."

"- Beyond the path?"

This question was not asked by Isabel.

Instead, it was the man sitting between Aiwas and Isabel who suddenly asked.

His eyes were as sharp as an eagle, and he asked without hesitation or politeness: "There are not many legal transcendents in Avalon. Which side are you from? Or are you one of the illegal ones?

"Looking at your dress, are you a stowaway?"

As soon as the man said this, the other three raised their heads and looked at him with silent and somewhat weird eyes.

Faced with these looks, the man did not waver at all.

He ignored the looks of the other two, but first nodded slightly to Aiwass, who was wearing a priest's robe, and then said calmly: "You can call me 'pirate' - I am a third-level supervisor. , I am good at machetes, long swords, crossbows, and unarmed attacks, and I am proficient in the fighting styles of 'guard' and 'challenge'. If you encounter a battle, I will be your shield."

Except for the first sentence, his subsequent words were all addressed to Aiwass.

"Pirates" are very clear about their purpose.

Whether it is the path of beauty or the path of transcendence, the details of their identities are not yet clear.

They didn't seem to know each other, so they must be two groups of people.

The "Pirate" couldn't immediately determine who was the good guy, so he went directly to "Fox", the highest-ranking and best priest present, and actively showed his favor to Aiwass.

No matter what, the pastor must be one of his own. The third-level priest is already the lowest bishop.

And the young priest who is ranked so high shows that he has great hope of being promoted to the fourth level and becoming one of the few archbishops of Avalon.

And as a melee class, he is also easily injured. The full moon ceremony of the third into the fourth, as long as it is not a random script of the path of wisdom, there is a high probability that there will be a high-intensity battle...

So pleasing priests with powerful healing abilities has become his core strategy.

It just so happens that priests are usually not good at combat either. There is always a need for someone to protect you - everyone gets what they need.

And with the two key job roles of defender and healer, it is easy to recruit other teammates. In this way, they can become the proactive party.

...pretty smart.

Aiwass, who was sitting comfortably in the chief position, raised his eyebrows with interest.

He sensed the other party's good intentions. Although not entirely sure, "Pirate" seemed to have vaguely guessed Aiwass's identity.

"...Mr. Pirate, are you from the Supervision Bureau?"

Thinking of this, Aiwass asked warmly: "Can I know which city you are from?"

"I am from Shengxia County."

"Pirate" replied: "I was born on the seaside since I was a child."

It sounded true, Aiwass' instinct told him.

- But there is no doubt that this is a lie.

Aiwass immediately logically identified the opponent's biggest loophole - because the "pirate" was sandwiched between Aiwass, Isabel, and Iben, he could only be on the Glass Island, and should not be far from the Palace of Silver and Tin. .

Obviously, the pirates did not know that Isabel and Iben were on the Glass Island.

He thought they were in other parts of Avalon, so he subconsciously told lies like this to hide his true area. This sentence directly exposed his perspective.

This is actually quite normal.

Whether it is Minister Aiwass, Queen Isabel, or Ibn as the palace ritualist, their specific path levels cannot be known by a small inspection.

He was already very smart if he could vaguely guess that "Fox" might be Aiwass from his age and aura. There was no way he could directly guess the identity of their young queen from the third-level beauty path promoters - in his opinion, the queen's promotion ceremony must be accompanied by a large group of loyal royal elite guards.

Moreover, Isabel became a transcendent not long ago, and she had seen retribution when she first became a transcendent. Coming into contact with the fourth level in less than half a year is basically impossible in the eyes of outsiders.

From this point of view, it can be judged that the "pirates" are not in the core circle of Glass Island.

Isabel was also silently analyzing the identity of the "pirate"——

The third-level supervisor is basically the strongest person in terms of supervisory status. Judging from his age, it is no surprise that he should be an inspector general.

The way he sits seems to have a military background. But he is an inspector rather than a light cavalry, which shows that he is from the army. The Inspector General on Glass Island is a third-level, male, middle-aged, former soldier, and his nickname is a pirate...

...is that Commissioner Kent from White Queen?

A name came to Isabel's mind.

When this idea came to Isabel's mind, her intuition told her that she was probably right.

Not that she could guess correctly. But Isabel has not seen many supervisors in person.

Among the supervisors she knew, there happened to be such a person who fit all the keywords.

...So, Sherlock is not here now, and there is one less person in their team. Do you want to reveal your identity to Mr. "Pirate"?

Isabel thought so and looked at Aiwass. Seeing Aiwass shaking his head slightly, she suddenly felt enlightened.

Aiwass didn't want the "pirates" to know his identity... He was very confident. But Aiwass’s character seeks stability, and he likes to unite the people he needs to unite. When he lacks strength, Aiwass is always good at gaining strength from others. But now he took the initiative to give up the opportunity to directly tie the "pirate" to his side.

Is it because of the confidence given by Mr. "Olive"?

No, to be more precise...

It's because Aiwass believes that "pirates" may be opposed to the path of "beauty" or "transcendence", so for the sake of Mr. Olive's position, he does not want pirates to join his camp, nor does he want to rely on authority to force the other party to give up directly from the sidelines. Promotion?

Isabel keenly captured Aiwass’s thoughts.

——So, Mr. Olive is Mr. Iben!

With just one sentence, Isabel instantly analyzed the true identities of the two teammates.

This made Isabel lick her lips with unusual satisfaction.

It's a pity that Sherlock is not here.

Isabel felt a little regretful.

Sherlock said that her reasoning lacked logic - but in the end, it was quite accurate!

When Isabel first met Sherlock in the promotion ceremony, Sherlock, who didn't know her true identity, ridiculed her several times for being unintelligent and illogical, and said in front of Aiwas that "the allies of the Path of Beauty are not reliable" - she secretly remembered it in her heart!

Isabel is so vindictive!

Since then, she has been quietly waiting for an opportunity to defeat Sherlock in the field where Sherlock is good at.

Sherlock doesn't need to admit defeat, as long as he is surprised or exclaims.

If you miss this time, you don't know when the next time will be.

Sherlock can still accompany Aiwass to the Church, but she can only stay in Avalon...

If only I were not the queen.

Or, if Avalon was gone...

Such a desperate thought suddenly popped up in Isabel's mind.

But she shook her head suddenly and dispelled the terrible thought.

Avalon was gone... She couldn't imagine what it would be like.

She only knew that it would make many people homeless and live a life worse than death.

...But why did she suddenly have such a thought?

Isabel was puzzled.
