Chapter 465: Huan Tiansi's Secret Knowledge

At this time, Shafiya and Oswald had also left Moriarty Manor.

They are discussing their next action plan.

Although Aiwass planned to assassinate Prince John, Shafiya planned to try and steal the body. After all, Aiwass's operation might fail.

Before, she was facing one against two and was not ready to fight, so she wisely chose to escape.

But this time with Oswald here, they may not lose in a head-on conflict——

So Shafiya felt confident.

This time she took Oswald back home first, sent her husband and children to a safe place, and got back her staff.

"The first sequence of tasks to be carried out is to retrieve the queen's body."

At Shafia's home, she assigned a task to Oswald: "If the first sequence of tasks is confirmed to have failed or cannot be completed, the second sequence of tasks will be started immediately - to extract a tube of the queen's blood.

"This is a syringe with anticoagulant added in advance. Each of us takes one tube. We must extract at least ten milliliters... as alternative materials for the Shadow of Avalon ritual.

"If the second sequence of missions also fails, we will directly abandon the queen's body and start searching for and rescuing Sherlock Hermes. At the same time, we will distract the two people from Star Antimony as far away as possible to delay Aiwass' plan. time.

"If possible, help Aiwass kill Minister Drost... He is a priest after all and is not good at fighting. Although the fat man has probably forgotten how to fight now, he is still a fourth-level transcendent... …”

"——First of all, Ms. Grand Inquisitor," Oswald interrupted Shafiya seriously, "I must emphasize that our plans and missions must be based on the premise that Master Aiwass is safe enough. If he is in mortal danger, I will immediately abandon these plans and rush to the rescue."

"Of course, I will go with you," Shafiya nodded and agreed, "At least we can't let anything happen to that child."

That is the person that Princess Isabel loves, and he is also her only support now.

Shafiya at least wanted to save Awas' life.

If a person is alive, he will have a chance no matter what; if a person dies, there will be nothing.

To take a step back, as long as Aiwass and Isabel are sent to the Theocracy and she stays in Avalon alone... she will also have a chance to perform the Shadow of Avalon ritual again.

Professor Moriarty's words just now have actually gradually convinced her.

That bewitching voice kept ringing in her head and she couldn't forget it.

...If Prince John is going to die no matter what, it would be better to kill him in advance.

If Aiwass can't do it, let her find someone else to do it - John is only two years old. It's not easy to save John, but it's easy to kill John. It would definitely be easier to get blood from Prince John's corpse than from the Queen's corpse.

Until then, let yourself bear the guilt.

Shafiya thought silently in her heart.

On the other side, in Moriarty Manor.

Everyone else had left, leaving only Isabel.

She was invited into the living room by Professor Moriarty to entertain her. Eating snacks, drinking tea, and chatting with her, she didn't look like the queen had just been assassinated. This made Isabel a little wary, so she continued to maintain her disguise, fearing that this was some kind of test. .

Professor Moriarty expressed that he was curious about how Isabel and Aiwass met.

...Actually, Isabel is also very curious about Professor Moriarty.

Because Aiwass rarely mentioned his adoptive father on weekdays, but at the New Year's Eve dinner, Edward admired the professor very much.

Yulia's attitude was the strangest - on the one hand, she was very close to and trusting her adoptive father, but on the other hand, she was vaguely afraid of him.

That feeling...

Isabel felt like two men who both had families and were quite familiar with each other happened to bump into each other when they went out to have fun - there was such a scene in the drama she watched. .

The two parties have a common secret, and they can use it to destroy each other; but once this secret is used to destroy the other party, it means that they themselves will also be destroyed. Isabel believes that Yulia's attitude towards her adoptive father is just like this...trusting and wary.

Aiwass seemed to be very afraid of his adoptive father.

Just like the attitude of the ministers towards her grandmother that Isabel came into contact with when she was a child, she would not mention it subconsciously. Even when mentioning, you will not call the other person by name or the word you often call the other person, but will use some kind of pronoun instead.

It's as if if you pronounce the word to address the other person, someone will suddenly respond.

Isabel also knew Professor Moriarty before.

When Professor Moriarty was in college, he was responsible for the subjects of astrology, astronomy and advanced mathematics. Isabel did not need to take these three courses, so she did not have a formal teacher-student relationship with Professor Moriarty...but at least she was quite familiar with Professor Moriarty.

However, curiosity is curiosity...

But during the conversation with Professor Moriarty, Isabel was always tense, thinking quickly, and weaving or embellishing lies.

On the one hand, it is to hide his identity as a promoted person, and on the other hand, it is to help Aiwas conceal information.

——Based on her understanding of Aiwass and her keen inspiration, Isabel still vaguely sensed Aiwass's vague hostility towards his adoptive father.

Although she didn't know the origin of this hostility.

But since Aiwass had a conflict with Professor Moriarty, Isabel would definitely stand on Aiwass' side.

Fortunately, Shafiya left, Isabel thought.

If Shafiya was here, she would not be able to lie. Otherwise, she might deceive the professor, but it might make Shafiya, who knew her better, suspicious. The professor knew almost nothing about her, so she would have a lot more room to play...

But at this moment.

She suddenly heard a clear bell.

According to Janice's teachings, this is a death prompt that only appears in the full moon ceremony where there is a "role-playing need" and cooperation is required to fight against a strong enemy. The appearance of this prompt means that there is a cooperative battle in this promotion ceremony.

This is to prevent those who are looking for teammates from waiting for those who have been dead for a long time. In the three promotion ceremonies that Isabel experienced, there was only one time when she didn't hear this kind of bell... and that happened to be Wei Zhe's ceremony.

The moment Isabel heard the bell, her pupils contracted due to tension, and then expanded due to fear.

——Someone died?

Is Aiwass okay?

Because Sherlock didn't come in, her only teammate was Aiwass. But she thought about it for a while, according to the pace, Aiwass might not be able to walk to the Silver and Tin Hall at this time... so she breathed a sigh of relief.

But then, she heard a burst of laughter.

It was like a comedian told a joke on the stage, and at least a dozen different laughs rang out from the audience. Some were sharp, some were low, some were loud... some were hysterical, laughing until they couldn't breathe.

The identity of a promoted person was exposed!

This was the first time Isabel heard this sound.

When she was promoted for the first time, because her teammates died too quickly, her identity didn't even have time to be exposed. In the second ceremony, the only person who could reveal their identities was the "front desk" who died in each nightmare.

And this time, she finally knew... what Sherlock meant by "laughter" and Janice's "sarcastic laughter"...

- Two people were eliminated! And they were eliminated one after another!

If the first person to be killed was not Aiwass, who would be the second one to be exposed?

Isabel pursed her lips and calmed down.

No, it's unlikely.

Immediately after the first death knell, he should have been doing something or having an important conversation when he was exposed because of the sudden ringing of the death knell. With Aiwass's psychological quality, it is unlikely that he would be exposed because of such a thing.

"Are you... worried about Aiwass?"

At this moment, Professor Moriarty suddenly asked.

Isabel looked at the other party hesitantly, still playing the role of the cowardly princess, nodded slowly, and whispered: "Yes...

"... After all, he is just a priest, is it really okay? ”

She had just let out her emotions for a moment. If she insisted that she was not worried, it would easily arouse suspicion. So Isabel smoothly attributed her worry about Aiwass to Aiwass's profession.

"Don't worry, Your Highness Isabel."

Professor Moriarty said in a gentle voice: "Aiwass is particularly good at prayer. Not only can he pray for the power of the Pillar God, but he is also very familiar with the apostles and the Heavenly Minister...

"By the way, Your Highness. Have you heard of...'Ring Heavenly Minister'? That is the power that Aiwass is very good at borrowing."

"...Ring Heavenly Minister?"

Isabel repeated with some confusion.

"That's right."

Professor Moriarty nodded and looked at Isabel with a smile.

"...Are you talking about [Ouroboros]? Ouroboros Heavenly Minister, Infinite Heavenly Minister..."

Isabel finally remembered that Ligeia seemed to be related to the Ring Heavenly Minister: "The master of the Ascended Warlock...is that right?"

Professor Moriarty was silent for a while.

The corners of his mouth rose slightly.

"Yes."

He nodded and said, "It's Him. You should know which path He belongs to, right?"

"Transcendent path?"

Isabel was not sure: "I actually know very little about theology... but He is the son of the serpent father."

"... Indeed."

Professor Moriarty was silent for a while and nodded slowly.

He put a finger in front of his lips and lowered his voice: "I will show you more secret knowledge... Your Highness, you can tell Aiwas about this later, and he will be surprised. Of course, you don't have to tell him... You are free to choose."

Isabel was alert when she heard this.

Is this trying to pass some false information to Aiwas through me?

But I can't not listen... What if this is useful to Aiwas?

...When Isabel thought of this, she realized that she was caught in a chain of suspicion.

It's not right to listen, and it's not right not to listen.

After struggling again and again, Isabel decided to listen. At least take the initiative.

But perhaps because she lacked much knowledge about theology, she was a little confused when she heard it, and could only remember the content for the time being...

“…Before [Cicada Shedding], Ouroboros was not actually part of the Path of Transcendence. He was once the Celestial Master of Self-Destruction, the Celestial Master of Restart and Resurrection… He was part of the Path of Balance. It was not until He obtained one of the fruits of Cicada Shedding, [Endless Knot], that He became part of the Path of Transcendence.

“In the ancient times before the elves were born, [Ouroboros] had completely different powers than now.”

Professor Moriarty said softly: “At that time, He could restart the world line and reset the world to a certain moment in the past. It was not until [Cicada Shedding] occurred that history was shattered and could no longer return to the time before [Cicada Shedding]. So He abandoned this fragment…

“The former Ouroboros had another name.

“——The dragon respectfully called Him…the Celestial Master of Reincarnation.”
