Chapter 57 Beautiful Girl Dream Factory
Isabelle's talent is not weak.
It is now halfway through November, and Avalon will be destroyed in the fall of next year. As members of the protagonist team, their levels are similar.
In other words, Aiwas and Isabelle spent almost ten months... without feeling any pressure, and easily advanced to around level 30. And level 30 is already the fourth level, which can be considered the best even in the entire Kingdom of Avalon.
There are no player characters in this world, nor are there any "adventurer teams" that players don't know where to find and kill gods and Buddhas who stand in their way - that is, other players who form a team through matching. Aiwas needs to form his own team.
Relying on some of the settings that his friend usually mutters, Aiwas can know the personalities, lives, and talents of these important characters... as well as the growth paths that only exist in theory.
He knows a lot of secrets, and the secrets of this world are power.
But after all, he can't use them all for himself.
When resources can be fully mobilized, lone heroes are the most stupid. After all, there is always a limit to what a person can do. But choosing the right person is even more important - scoundrels, traitors and ungrateful people will only play a negative role.
Only those who are reliable and trustworthy are worthy of Aiwas sharing his valuable experience.
Isabel is one of them.
This future "Queen of Flowers" is his teammate who has already been reserved.
Therefore, in fact, without Yannis's special request, he will take the initiative to intervene in Isabel's growth path. Seek better development for her.
After all, Aiwas lacks companions. Helping her is helping himself.
Although according to Yannis's request, Aiwas can actually delay until the third promotion at the latest - that is, from level 29 to level 30, and then form a fixed team with Princess Isabel...
- But Aiwas feels that there is really no need to do so.
He started as a "fox" just to show it out in the open. It would be meaningless to delay it for too long.
The reason why Aiwas did not immediately take the initiative to disclose the information of "I am a fox" when meeting Isabel this time was because Isabel's current personality had not been tempered and she had not gained sufficient confidence.
Because of Master Janice's own growth trajectory, she is the type who believes that "as long as people have real talents and constantly overcome difficulties, they can grow rapidly in pain." There is no need for excessive interference from others, nor is there any need to correct the direction of others' destiny-every life will have its own way out.
Therefore, Master Janice tends to continue to accumulate "foundation" for Isabel. Lay an extremely solid foundation for her, so that she can master how to deal with various situations. But Isabel will not teach Isabel the principles of being a human being, nor will she enlighten her little emotions.
Janice hopes that Isabel's own life can move forward based on the principles she has realized.
This is not wrong, and it can even be called foresight. Because according to the original historical trajectory, Isabel did stand up quickly and firmly after encountering a sudden change in her life, relying on her accumulated foundation, and continued to be injured and grow rapidly in the thorns.
It took Isabelle less than five years to grow from a soft and tender little girl to a reliable and mature queen in the future.
And now she is still used to subconsciously choosing to escape when she is at a loss.
She is like a shy and autistic girl. Although she has some feelings for him, if she confesses too early and too suddenly, so that the other party is not mentally prepared and unable to react, she may subconsciously choose to escape from this relationship under the influence of the chaotic emotions in her heart because she doesn't know how to deal with it.
——It seems that the good feelings have been brushed up, but the other party suddenly escapes when A is applied. Isabelle is such a troublesome type.
Aiwass knows how to deal with this situation.
This is essentially because she is not prepared. The girl will escape because she subconsciously hopes that "the current sense of comfort can be maintained forever" and does not want to go further and step into the unknown.
In other words, it is essentially because Isabelle is afraid of the unknown.
And this fear is precisely because she is always worried about the "royal curse" that will take effect at any time.
Every day she was afraid that her father, elder brother and younger brother would die of illness; every time she fell ill, she would wonder if it was a curse and whether she was going to die; because her grandmother was old, she was also afraid of the chaos and war that might be caused by the death of the queen.
After the fall of Avalon, she was able to stabilize - because all the worst results she worried about came true.
Then there was nothing to be afraid of.
So Isabel, who had calmed down, did not choose to continue to escape for the first time in the case of "no way out", but bravely moved forward -
... However, this solution is not valid in this timeline.
It is impossible for Aiwas to hurt Isabel specifically for her growth.
Before history changed, Isabel's family was broken up; after history changed, if her family was still broken up, wouldn't it be a waste of my trip?
——It was just like traveling back to the beginning of the plot of an animation game. Although many things have been changed, at the key points, the familiar "original plot" is allowed to develop, so that the changed plot can return to the original route of the fan fiction protagonist.
So Aihuas specially arranged another preparation.
As early as the first advancement ceremony, Aihuas had already laid the groundwork. He originally planned to talk about it later, but now the timing is right... Master Janice took the initiative to ask Aihuas to team up with the princess.
So now is the time to use it.
At the dinner, Aihuas was happily eating while chatting with Isabel.
Perhaps because the teacher was present, Isabel was a little reserved and silent at first, preferring to listen rather than speak.
But after the two drank a few glasses of white wine, the atmosphere gradually became warmer.
Music, poetry, philosophy, secrets... It was similar to the topics that Aihuas talked about when he met Isabel in the dream in the abandoned chemical plant. Moreover, this time, Master Janice, who has a wider range of knowledge, can actually communicate and talk with Aiwass, instead of asking questions like himself in the dream.
This makes the chat more interesting and valuable.
Although Aiwass deliberately avoided repeating content, his views, tone and degree of erudition are very similar to "Fox".
——These are some flaws that Aiwass deliberately revealed.
He hopes that Princess Isabel can vaguely guess or realize that "Aiwass may be Mr. Fox", but dare not say it out loud because of insufficient evidence.
The fact that "Aiwass, the friend I know in reality" and "the secret friend Fox I met in the dream" are the same person is not a bad thing for Isabel... On the contrary, it will be a "good thing" that she would rather believe to be true.
Because the identity of "Fox" is too mysterious.
Although mystery can make people curious and want to explore, the mystery that remains after establishing contact will make people feel uneasy. Isabel happens to be particularly afraid of this kind of uneasiness.
If the "fox" continues to keep this mystery, Isabel will not be able to help but start thinking, will he have a reason not to reveal his identity - and then associate his identity with the possibility that it is not clean. At least it is an identity that she cannot introduce to her father, grandmother and teacher openly... In that case, no matter how close their relationship is, it can only become a private friend that she cannot share and show off with others.
But Aiwass is different.
The Moriarty family is one of the twenty founding families, and has a high reputation and status in Avalon.
Although Aiwass is only the adopted son of Professor Moriarty, as long as old Moriarty is not dead, he will always be a member of the founding family. And if Professor Moriarty made a will before his death and inherited the Moriarty family to Aiwass... Although there may be some difficulties in the process because of the lack of blood, the possibility of successful inheritance in the end is not small.
After all, Professor Moriarty has no biological children, and no relatives of the same generation are still alive. He can only inherit to his adopted children.
Just like Aiwass can now be directly invited by her to the Temple of Silver and Tin - his identity is clean and his future is bright.
Becoming friends with such a person will definitely not be blocked by the elders.
Can I only meet Mr. "Fox" in my dreams? If Mr. Aiwass knows the existence of "Fox", will he be angry? What if "Fox" becomes hostile to me or wants to use me after knowing my true identity?
——As long as "Fox" is Aiwass, these problems that Isabel is worried about and worried about will not exist.
When Isabel hoped so in her heart, she was actually preparing herself mentally.
Facing such a girl who would run away when she was frightened by a little pressure, like a little beast, what others said might not work, even if it was the words of her most trusted teacher Janice, she might not be willing to listen.
Only her own inner thoughts can be accepted by herself.
And in the end, what she expected was successfully achieved, everything went smoothly, and there was no reversal or shock - so she could build up a kind of "hope".
Among the many ways to fight fear, hope is a good medicine that does not harm health.
What Isabel lacks most is self-confidence. And true self-confidence cannot be instilled by others. Only when the determination and decision you make receive good feedback, can the wounded heart be healed and comforted by this feedback.
But for this reason, Aiwass can't delay too long.
Because the "prank" that you take the initiative to reveal and the "lie" that is exposed are essentially different.
Aiwass can't really be caught by her, but must take the initiative to disclose his identity and admit his original deception. Otherwise, their relationship will gradually be mixed with the strange smell of "suspicion". And that will also hurt Isabel, and turn her "escape" into "suspicion".
That's wrong.
For Aiwass, the process of cultivating Isabel from now on is like a beautiful girl dream factory——
Although they don’t have the father-daughter relationship in the game. But compared to Isabel’s irresponsible and non-existent father, Aiwass, who helps Isabel in her dreams, chooses a brighter future for her, chats with her and plays with her, urges her growth and learning, treats her mental illness, personally cultivates her self-esteem and self-confidence, and prevents her from being hurt in the future...
——Maybe he is more like a real father than her biological father.
