Chapter 459 Death of Aiwass

"I'm telling you, old man.

Oswald on the side narrowed his eyes and said in a confused manner: "Although you have your difficulties, this time it's a bit too much. We have to remember it."

"It should."

The elf with a righteous Chinese character face just nodded seriously: "Anyway, I have tried my best, and the rest has nothing to do with me."

When he said this, he looked at Aiwass and reminded in a low voice: "Be careful lately, Bishop Moriarty. If there is nothing special, don't go out... There is no need to go to the church. Where the candles are bright, you should be safe." It is the sacred place of the candle maker.”

Although it seems quite strange for a steward to give advice on church and faith matters to a bishop... but if you know that the other person is a guard of the Pope, then this seems very reasonable.

"Don't talk about young master all the time. Be careful yourself, old man..."

Oswald walked over, stretched out his hand and pressed Diomedes' back unceremoniously, as if pushing him away.

Diomedes followed Oswald obediently... If nothing else happened, Oswald would ask him something when they left Moriarty Manor.

When the old butler left with the other butler, Old James looked back at Aiwass with interest: "Did you notice something? Can you tell me when you felt something was wrong?"

Aiwass did not answer, but asked: "Then why didn't you attend the banquet?"

"Don't answer questions with questions, Aiwass."

James leaned back on the sofa, the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

But he still gave the answer in a good temper.

"Because those things are too troublesome and not suitable for me. Now that I have declined the invitation, I can no longer go out and eat and drink."

Professor Moriarty raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said calmly: "Did Dad's words satisfy your curiosity?

"So back to the question - when did you realize something was wrong, and why did you refuse so firmly?"

Aiwass's heart was suddenly tightly grasped by invisible pressure.

From Professor Moriarty's words alone, it seemed that he was just talking about the engagement banquet of a royal marriage.

What he rejected seemed to be just an invitation from Queen Sophia...

But Aiwass could understand what he meant:

It was the rebellious invitation of Drost's men that James Sr. rejected.

But even if he clearly stated his position and did not stand on the side of those rebellious officials, Drost still did not dare to take action against old James... That performance could even be said to be fearful.

From another perspective, the adoptive father did not side with the royal family.

In the plot of the game, James is also invisible throughout the whole process. At least before version 4.0, there was nothing wrong with James at all. After Aiwass and Isabel fled to the Theocracy, Oswald, James and Edward also disappeared unknowingly.

From then on, Edward followed James all the way.

And the speed at which his strength increases is almost as if he's cheating... and he can always gain some special benefits from world-destroying disasters.

——When Edward once again becomes a supporting character with lines and dubbing, he will already be the main boss of version 6.0.

Although the adoptive father is theoretically the final BOSS, strictly speaking, the adoptive father is not included in the game at all - he is a mechanical kill outside of combat.

That was the last mainline dungeon in version 6.0, and it was also the last dungeon Aiwass played before crossing over.

Aiwass remembers the performance of that copy and still remembers it clearly to this day.

The final boss of that dungeon is the blackened Edward.

He fused the dragon heart of the "Disaster Dragon", held the contaminated broken holy sword "Sword in the Stone", and absorbed three Tiansi fragments, becoming extremely powerful.

After the players struggled to defeat the extremely powerful Edward, what no one expected was... Professor Moriarty, who was previously thought to be just a conspirator, suddenly appeared and easily intercepted the player's last strike.

But James is not as deep and gentle as usual, but has become crazy and gloomy, and his originally straight back has become rickety.

He claimed that Aiwass had been his man from the beginning and tried to induce Aiwass to defect.

The professor said that "his great achievements" are coming to an end, and there is no need for "player" anymore - the "player" here will display the name filled in by the player, obviously referring to the player specifically.

But at this time, Aiwass seemed very hesitant. He wanted to go with James, but tried to plead with the player.

This hesitant and cowardly move angered the somewhat crazy James.

He directly attacks the player, trying to kill the player and take away something from him.

Professor Moriarty's power is extremely powerful - his attack directly freezes time, turning the entire world into "anti-color".

Players have to use the artifact given by Sand Clock to prop up a shield, so that they can circle a small area with difficulty and fight against him.

At this moment, Edward, who had just recovered from a near-death state, directly overdrawn his power and used an instant death spell to launch a sneak attack on the player.

That instant death spell is a core mechanism in Edward's copy.

Edward has a seven-fold self, that is, six clones that appear and disappear at any time. Any damage caused to its main body will be fully distributed to other clones present, and its invincible state will not deduct blood.

Although the clone can be damaged normally, if the clone dies, Edward will guide and re-summon a new full-blood clone.

Players must use the artifact of the twin mirror to arrange overlapping and interlaced chaotic spaces, and Edward's other spells cannot destroy those fragile spaces-if the angle of the mirror is too large, it will be directly destroyed by this ray.

Finally, the death ray released by Edward's body will be induced, and hit Edward's other clone who is present at the same time after repeated refraction.

If hit by this ray, the player character will die immediately regardless of resistance and cannot be resurrected in battle.

Because the ray will disappear after killing a person, when the angle of the mirror is not right or the number is insufficient, you can sacrifice a summoned creature to block the ray once.

But even if it is a summoned creature, after blocking this ray and dying, it cannot be summoned again in this battle. In the game setting, it is "permanently killed".

Based on this feature, this mechanism can be cracked-the clone hit by this ray cannot be summoned by Edward again. In this way, one clone will be permanently killed.

Repeat this six times, and clear all the clones before you can cause damage to the main body. After that, Edward will become a dragon with a stronger desire to attack... But without the special mechanism, it is much easier to fight. He will be killed by the players soon, and then enter the settlement CG that cannot be skipped - that is, the part where James appears.

The power of Edward's instant death ray comes from the calamity dragon - it is the corrupted self cut out of the Silver Crown Dragon after being polluted. His power cannot even be resisted by the artifact given by the Sand Clock.

At this time, Aiwas, who was standing by and didn't know what to do, suddenly noticed this scene.

He could directly kill the dying Edward to interrupt his spell guidance, but Aiwas didn't want to kill Edward, but he didn't have the ability to block this spell.

Because the twin mirror artifact that can refract the death ray is on the player, not on "Aiwas".

So Aiwas hesitated, but at the last moment, he resolutely stood in front of the player and blocked the attack with his body.

Professor Moriarty was furious, and before he went crazy, the player was urgently teleported back by another friendly boss - in the plot, there is only one player, and there are no players. Those enemies were actually killed by the player alone.

Therefore, after Aiwass died, there was only one person left in the team, and there was still a chance to rescue one person. So at the moment when Aiwass's protection from the inside and outside was broken, he was teleported away by the friendly boss.

——These are all the details that Aiwass remembered about the incident of [Aiwass's death].

It was engraved in Aiwass's mind like a knife and an axe.

Aiwass actually didn't know Professor Moriarty's purpose and ability. This is obviously the content of the subsequent plot of 6.X... But when Aiwass traveled through time, the game had not been updated to this part.

If death can only be counted as death if it is confirmed with one's own eyes, he can't even confirm whether "Evans" is dead or not - because the player doesn't even have time to hold Evans' body and shout a few words, and only sees the back that becomes tattered and broken in an instant...

Players generally believe that Evans is dead, mainly because the BGM at that time suddenly became sad, and a slow-motion close-up was given.

Although his death was very hasty, the atmosphere was set up to this point. If he didn't die in the end, it would be impolite.

Evans, who is almost a prophet of the future, knows nothing about his adoptive father. And the unknown brings fear.

So since Evans awakened his past life memories, he has been very wary of his adoptive father.

Edward in Evans' current world line was not taken away by Professor Moriarty.

As a result, he looks like an ordinary fourth-level law mage, and there is nothing special about him.

That's obvious - the special person is Moriarty, not Edward at all.

Now it seems that Professor Moriarty was also involved in the "Cruel Autumn" incident.

Did the adoptive father suddenly fake his death and leave Avalon because he saw through the changes in Aiwass and did not intend to get involved in this plan? Or did he want to leave Aiwass so that Aiwass could play freely and observe his changes?

Seeing that Aiwass did not respond for a long time, Professor Moriarty just smiled gently: "Is that so? Then I understand.

"-Do you need me to help you with anything, Aiwass? "

Now, hearing his adoptive father's words, Aiwass felt cold all over.

He must have guessed it!

His adoptive father might even have guessed that he was another "Aiwass"...

Now he only needs to announce his identity as a promoted person, and he will die because of it.

Professor Moriarty in the promotion ceremony immediately realized that something was wrong with Aiwass just because Aiwass's tone of refusal was too firm. But he still asked Aiwass in a friendly way what he should do. It was just like a father playing games with his child...

Since the simulated Professor Moriarty could easily see that the "Aiwass" whose core was also Aiwass was replaced.

Then, Professor Moriarty in reality...

...Will he really not realize that Aiwass awakened his past life memory that day?

Evans recalled that when he had just awakened his past life memories and had not even sorted out his memories, he asked his adoptive father to help him find the rope on the gallows and the nails on the heads of the dead who were torn apart by a wheel, claiming that this was "a ritual to seal the Shadow Demon seen in an ancient book".

He was quite proud of his understanding of the transcendent version at that time, and believed that his adoptive father could not know how to seal the Shadow Demon - because even the Star Antimony people did not know.

At that time, Aiwas acted quite arrogantly and unscrupulously. It was not until later when his adoptive father and Sherlock faked their deaths and Oswald disappeared that he began to feel the pressure and restrained himself a little.

...But now thinking back, his adoptive father specifically hinted to him not to use human materials, which would trigger the sin of "heavenly evil".

At that time, Aiwas could only understand that it was a coincidence.

Now thinking back...

Perhaps as early as that time, his adoptive father should have realized that Aiwas was wrong.

But he didn't say anything.

Just like now, smiling calmly and looking at Aiwas.

Did he not care?

Or did Aiwass not affect him?

Or was it all under his control?

Aiwass did not know how strong his adoptive father was, what he was going to do, or what he knew. He drove Diomedes away, on the one hand to protect Aiwass, and on the other hand he hoped that this matter would only be known to him.

...Such a strong sense of oppression.

Aiwass felt that he was about to sweat.

He did not even know whether he should respond to Professor Moriarty's question.

If such a Moriarty was a chess player... then who would be playing against him?

For some reason, Aiwass's grandfather's name suddenly appeared in his mind.

——Jacob.

If there is anyone that the professor cannot predict or control, it is probably him...

Evans hesitated for a moment, but still nodded slowly and said: "There are indeed some... if father is willing."

"Go ahead, Aiwass."

Professor Moriarty smiled gently: "If possible, Dad will try his best to help you. If not..."

At this point, he smiled and said slowly: "Dad will also tell you why not.

"Mr. Aiwass Moriarty... my cute little key. "
