Chapter 467 You Are Not Aiwass!

Minister Droste took Aiwas to Queen Sofia's bedroom.

Even Diomedes did not enter the room - he stood outside the door and did not let anyone get close.

The queen had just died less than an hour ago, and the place was still full of life. However, the maids and guards had been completely removed, and it seemed a bit empty.

Sherlock was certainly not imprisoned here, after all, there were windows here.

Considering that Droste did not want Sherlock to be found, he was probably in the underground ritual room. In order to prevent outsiders from affecting the ritual, the ritual room was isolated from the inside and outside.

So even if divination, foresight or rituals and prayers with similar functions were used on Sherlock, it would be difficult to accurately locate his position. And this place is still underground, so it would be difficult to run even if you want to take him away. If you put the trap directly underground, you don't have to worry about accidentally hurting your own people.

Then conversely - since this is the most suitable prison, given Sherlock's importance to Droste, he will probably be imprisoned here.

As for putting it outside, that is absolutely impossible.

As a regicide, Drost has been filled with hatred. Not only a few big-name superhumans, but even those knights may want to kill him. It is not impossible that an elf steward suddenly rushed out and killed him.

So before everything is settled, Drost will only hide in the Temple of Silver and Tin. At least there is the protection of the Star Antimony here.

But the Queen's bedroom must also have some meaning.

Drost is a thoughtful person, he can't do something useless.

And when Aiwas saw Drost draw the curtains after entering the door but didn't turn on the lights, he almost laughed.

He can even be sure that Drost's next move is to walk to the tea table and turn on the table lamp.

That is the table that Isabel usually uses for snacks and afternoon tea. It is also the place where Aiwas and Yulia play cards and chess.

Isabel usually has afternoon tea in the study, sometimes in the dollhouse, and sometimes back to the bedroom.

Like other girls of this era, Isabel likes to play with dolls. She has her own dollhouse, which contains a 1:12 miniature palace and hundreds of dolls. From knights, kings, princesses, to dragons, griffins, Pegasus... there are even miniature wine cellars, miniature study rooms and miniature round tables.

This was originally a dollhouse shared by all the children of the royal family, but now it belongs to Isabel alone.

On this table lamp, there is a "real fire" for detecting lies. Unlike the silver model used by the Arbitration Hall, which gives people psychological pressure, this lamp is specially obfuscated. From the appearance, it is the same as a normal oil lamp, but it is brighter.

It is a trick used by the queen to detect lies when she invites some important ministers to talk.

Later, Aiwas felt that there was no need... With Sherlock's brother around, there was no need for such means. So he removed it.

... Obviously, the fact that Drost knew of its existence shows that Queen Sofia trusts him very much. Otherwise, the Queen would not have told him this secret.

But this trap was useless to Aiwass.

No kidding, Aiwass was even more familiar with the Queen's bedroom than Queen Isabel.

After all, Isabel was quite busy as a queen.

Every day after she woke up, there were always things for her to deal with. For example, hosting a round table meeting, discussing some government affairs with the Privy Council Minister Hermes, accepting interviews and attending events, and meeting some important people. Or practicing singing, drama, painting, musical instruments, performances, sculptures, running around all day long.

When she was in the bedroom, she was either painting, playing the piano, reading some books or sleeping. I'm afraid she didn't even notice what the pattern of the bricks on the wall of the Queen's bedroom was.

But Aiwass was different.

He often went over and took a nap in Isabel's quilt.

- Of course, he also had his own room. But Isabel's room had better lighting, was more spacious and more gorgeous.

Of course, it could simply be that someone else's quilt is more comfortable to sleep on. Just like the cat food in other cat bowls tastes better.

And Isabel is the queen, so this can be considered a night on the dragon bed - it sounds very exciting, and it has the flavor of a powerful minister. It smells especially good when you sleep. Anyway, they have confirmed their relationship for more than a month, and Isabel doesn't dislike him.

After Aiwas wakes up, he will leisurely patrol. He will look for some snacks, or see if there are any mechanisms or treasures hidden in the room by the craftsmen, or ask Yulia to come over to play chess and cards. Otherwise, he will chat with the queen's guards and practice speaking Elvish.

He even studied what route to take to approach the windows of the bedroom from the outside, and specially set up a barrier outside the window with the queen's guards... Aiwas even went into the ventilation duct to climb around.

So now Aiwas feels like laughing when he hears what Droste said.

- No one knows the queen's bedroom better than me.

Aiwass even deceived the Great Guardian in front of the True Fire. It was even more impossible for Droste to use it well.

Thinking of this, Aiwass had a new plan in mind.

As expected, Droste pretended to light the candle naturally.

"It's a little dark." Aiwass mentioned casually, pretending not to know what he was doing.

But Minister Drost just had a straight face and shook his head seriously: "You don't want people outside to know that we are having a secret conversation in the queen's palace, right?"

"Are you still afraid of this?"

Aiwass asked half seriously, half sarcastically.

"You don't know, Monsignor."

Droste just pretended to sigh: "I am also standing on the edge of the cliff, in danger."

"No, I know."

Aiwass said lightly: "I even know that the Star Antimony people plan to kill you after they have finished using you."

The candle flame did not flicker.

Seeing this, Drost was suddenly shocked.

He didn't resist and said things like "This is impossible" and "Produce evidence". It was obvious that he had already had similar conjectures in his mind.

So he just remained silent for a while and made a gloomy and ferocious expression: "Your Majesty Bishop, where did you... get this information?"

"Don't scare me, Minister Drost."

Aiwass smiled and said without fear: "How did I know this? You know it yourself.

"Star Antimony's economic situation is worse than you think. They simply cannot afford the remuneration you are asking for... let alone give you a title or a manor.

"The forces within the Star Antimony Kingdom are seriously divided, and no one party can afford this price. If they dare to raise it, they will be pulled down by the other two families by relying on the public opinion of Star Antimony. And they hope to control Avalon, but they are unwilling Destroy Avalon...so you, Minister, will be cleared by them after the dust settles.

"I guess you will be abandoned by the Avalon people as a deserted son who pleases them."

The cardinal spoke slowly.

Drost was sweating from his temples.

He quickly glanced at the candle out of the corner of his eye and found that the flame of reality still did not waver.

"...How did you know all this?"

He could only repeat what he said before. But his tone no longer dared to be so harsh, but softened a lot.

Aiwass was unfazed.

He just crossed his fingers and looked at him with a smile. His face was full of amusement and pleasure.

Seeing Drost become nervous involuntarily, Aivaska casually said before the other party exploded: "Do you know Emma?"

"…Which Emma?"

Drost's heart skipped a beat, and he could only pretend to be calm and speak calmly.

"The 'daughter' of the Red Prime Minister, his first secretary. The person behind the Noble Red, and the connector between the Noble Red and Rosicrucian..."

Aiwass said with a half-smile: "The incarnation of the succubus, a famous star all over the world... What other names do you want to know about her?"

Minister Drost's pupils trembled.

There are some secrets here that he has only recently had the opportunity to come into contact with; there are also some names that even he doesn't know about.

And Aiwass not only knew this, but also knew Xing Antimony's attitude towards him.

This made Minister Drost couldn't help but blurt out: "Are you from Countess Emma?"

——It turns out that Bishop Moriarty is an ally? !

Aiwass just smiled and shook his head.

"It's not 'I'm hers'," Aiwass said word for word. "To be more correct... it should be said, 'She is my thing'.

"Every day she lies quietly in my arms, her magic flows through my fingers, and her fragrance wraps around my body. As long as I want, I can summon her anytime, anywhere. Just...hehe , it’s just not convenient to show you.”

Looking at Aiwass, whose attitude was almost arrogant and the corners of his mouth were raised in pleasure.

After hearing this, Drost was silent for a while.

He looked towards the candlelight.

The candle flame was motionless.

——The Fire of Truth is broken?

This thought came to his mind.

So Drost, with the idea of ​​​​testing, said in a deep voice: "Stop talking about this, Bishop Moriarty. Are you here to see Sherlock? It's a pity... I have already killed the great detective. "

As soon as he finished speaking, the candle began to tremble violently for a moment.

...isn’t it broken?

Realizing something, Drost looked at Aiwass in horror.

So if Aiwass is telling the truth...

Then Aiwass is more than just his ally.

——He is basically his leader, superior, and supervisor!

Thinking of this, he suddenly broke into a cold sweat.

It turned out that the Star Antimony Man had already planted a spy in Avalon that was more covert than himself... Now that he had successfully assassinated Queen Sofia and could no longer take a step back, the other party finally revealed his identity.

Seeing the half-smiling look on Aiwass's face as he looked at him, Drost immediately reacted - his temptation had long been seen by Aiwass.

The True Fire is a top secret in Avalon, and Aiwass has absolutely no idea. So he could only see through his lies.

"...No, please forgive me for lying just now. Sherlock is not dead, I just locked him in the ritual room... Please save me, Lord Bishop!"

Drost immediately knelt down on one knee and lowered his head to Aiwass like a knight saluting Queen Sophia.

There was no trace of the leisure and pride that he had when he saw Aiwass from outside.

He didn't care about his dignity at all, but sincerely requested: "I actually felt it before... because His Highness the Prince looked at me wrongly, which made me very uneasy."

It was like looking at a dead person. This made him feel uneasy.

And now, he finally got the reason from Aiwas that made him feel uneasy.

——The Star Antimony people want to default on their debt! Eat both ends!

This made Droste grit his teeth in hatred.

The Star Antimony monarch clearly guaranteed him. He said that the Star Antimony people would not be like the Iris people, who would use people and then throw them away as garbage...

That's true!

They even wanted to make use of their own waste-

How hateful!

Even more hateful than the Iris people!

"His Highness Lucien... You really can't hide your anger."

Aiwas squinted his eyes, leaned forward slightly, and slowly tapped the armrest of the chair with his right index finger, and said calmly: "You guessed right. But how to solve it depends on your sincerity."

"I have 150,000 gold coins here..."

"Do you think I'm short of money?"

Aiwas interrupted Droste.

Without waiting for Drost to speak, he said to himself: "Of course, I don't lack women. Similarly, I don't lack power."

"...What do you want?"

Droste gritted his teeth and realized that this seemingly young young man didn't seem to be so easy to fool.

...Wait.

Looking young?

He was stunned for a moment and realized something.

Of course, Countess Emma couldn't obey Aiwas Moriarty. When she came to Avalon last time, Aiwas wasn't even born yet.

As a person who has never left Avalon, Aiwas is unlikely to know these secrets that only the top leaders of Star Antimony know.

At the same time, Aiwas's tone doesn't seem like that of a gentle and tolerant priest...

...But what if he is not Aiwas Moriarty?

Droste looked at Aiwas's meaningful and dangerous smile, and suddenly his back was cold.

Amber craftsmen can put a person's soul into another person's body.

The black phase of this generation of Star Antimony is an amber craftsman with the pinnacle of skills!

——Among the two top transcendents who arrived in Avalon this time, there is a disciple of Black Phase!

Realizing this, Minister Droste was shocked.

He is not Aiwass!

Then everything makes sense!
