Chapter 578 Homeland Faction and Cardinal Fafner

After a friendly tug, Yunus led the way and welcomed Awas into the house.

Behind him, Sherlock fell a few steps behind until he was parallel to Aiwass.

The corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he whispered in a slightly narrow voice: "Did you notice?"

Aiwass just looked forward at Yunus's back, without looking back at Sherlock: "Of course."

What Shylock was referring to was the fact that Yunus had recognized Aiwass's identity.

This is not surprising.

Although Yunus has always been active as a knight and has not turned into Prince Albert for a long time...but he is still active in Avalon after all. In other words, although I don’t know if Yunus ever returned to the Glass Island on his way... he can definitely read the newspaper.

Yunus first left Avalon after Queen Sofia passed away and Isabel officially assumed the position of queen.

In other words, he must know that Aiwass was Isabel's only trusted minister when she came to the throne; and he will even know that Aiwass is the minister of Avalon.

...The only problem is that my father-in-law will most likely read the news about "Miss Aleister" as well.

The long-running scandal between Aiwass and Aleister... This was the number one hot topic in Avalon before Her Majesty the Queen passed away.

The news itself was the means used by Aiwass to divert the attention of the Avalonians at that time. Although Isabel knew that Aleister was Aiwass, so she didn't react much... but others obviously didn't know.

In their view, by bringing Aiwass into the ranks of her confidants, Isabel was competing with the mysterious and noble Miss Aleister for a man.

At that time, Sherlock thought this was not a good idea. But now Aiwass will encounter a little trouble - or retribution - for what he did, so he will only smile and gloat from the side.

If it weren't for the fact that there were too many strangers here... If he and Aiwass were the only two people here, Sherlock would probably have to circle around Aiwass, playing the violin freely and singing the Avalon national anthem. .

But Aiwass was unfazed.

He just looked sideways, looked at Sherlock, and asked softly: "Did you find anything?"

"some."

Seeing that Aiwass wanted to talk business, Sherlock immediately returned to his serious expression: "I didn't go back yesterday just to confirm my suspicion..."

With that said, Yunus welcomed them into the inner room. This is a room that looks like a living room, with a huge white crystal screen like a TV. It looks quite modern.

A young elf couple was sitting at the tea table, and the tea on the table had not been touched much.

They don't look very old.

If you look at it from a human perspective, he may not even be thirty years old... Even at the age of elves, at least he cannot be considered middle-aged.

The man among them was wearing a moon-white mage robe, round glasses, and had a gentle and elegant temperament. The wife was wearing a goose-yellow short dress, long white stockings, and a flower-like hairpin on her head. If you don't look at the mature temperament, but only look at the appearance and dressing style, it is even possible to think that she is a student.

Seeing a large group of people entering, the elf couple stood up politely and nodded to everyone - mainly to say hello to Aiwass, who was wearing the archbishop's red robe.

"Let me introduce you two. This is our outstanding talent in Avalon, the well-known Aiwass Moriarty! Gentle, handsome, and suave, he is the idol of thousands of girls and the Son of the Moon during the Empire. She also fell in love with him, and even had a relationship with Her Majesty the Queen, who was only nineteen years old——"

Yunus introduced Aiwass to them enthusiastically.

Aiwass nodded slightly and corrected with a gentle smile: "The previous ones are just scandals - but the relationship with Her Majesty the Queen is real. In fact, Isabel and I are already engaged."

Hearing this, Yunus was suddenly stuck for a moment.

The corners of Sherlock's mouth on the side couldn't help but rise, but he quickly suppressed it with a stern face.

Immediately afterwards, Aiwass took over the conversation: "This is my friend Lily. She will come to the Theocracy with me to protect me; I believe you all know Detective Sherlock... He received it A letter came from Mr. Yunus asking for help, so he came to me and brought him here. Now he is also living in my residence.”

"Archbishop Moriarty."

Obviously, the couple recognized Aiwass more than Yunus.

The male mage came over, put his right hand on his chest, and nodded slightly to Aiwass: "I have heard about your deeds these days. I think your actions are correct - we all think so."

Aiwass also walked over politely: "I don't know your name yet..."

"I am Maxime Digger. This is my wife, Grace Deadleaf."

Master Maxim introduced the two of them: "Mr. Yunus came to see my daughter Anastasia Moonlight... He said that he rescued Anastasia in Avalon a few years ago. And got her gratitude. But in fact, Anastasia had become a tree twenty years ago.

"But he took out Anastasia's token. And we checked the information and found that the person he knew might be Anastasia... This is too weird. So Mr. Yunus invited the famous detective Mr. Sherlock."

He smiled when he said this: "But in fact, this matter is not important, but it is a bit magical. After all, Anastasia's soul has already entered the Kingdom of Giant Trees, and my wife and I happen to be free. So I decided to study it... Compared with that matter, it is an honor for us to meet you."

Grace also smiled at Aiwass and performed an Iris Man's skirt-lifting ceremony-although Aiwass didn't quite understand why he had to lift his skirt when wearing a short skirt.

When he heard the surnames of the three of them, Sherlock covered his forehead and obviously felt a headache.

In this era, only elves have such a strange custom: the surnames of the whole family may be completely different, and they all sound very strange.

Because the surname of the elves is the name of the specific inheritance, it must have meaning, so it can only be translated literally and not transliterated; and the talents, hobbies and specialties of the children may not be inherited by their parents, so most parents will not pass on their inheritance to their children.

On the other hand... because the elves are immortal species that mainly focus on the inheritance mode, each of them usually has multiple paths. In another sense, the surname can also quickly determine the approximate path of the other party.

The surnames of these two are not too rare, and Aiwass has studied them in the Avalon Library.

For example, the inheritance of digging rocks is based on the path of wisdom, and also requires the level of the path of dusk; the dead leaf butterfly is the inheritance of the three paths of adaptation, beauty, and dusk, and also requires a considerable level of dance skills.

Knowing the other party's surname, you can basically know the other party's personality, specialties and preferences; but this does not mean that Maxim cannot have the path of dedication or even the adaptability and extraordinary level beyond the path.

Although the surname of the elves is not decisive, it also has some reference value.

And Aiwass also understood why the two were so friendly and even respectful to him: "Are you opponents of the Controlled Fire faction?"

"Yes."

Maxim nodded: "Our family are all elves of the 'Homeland Faction'. Those people of Controlled Fire... Let's not talk about whether they are extreme or advanced, but at least I don't think they have done anything practical. They are just shouting slogans."

"Homeland Faction?"

Sherlock on the side looked at Aiwass with some doubts.

He came here yesterday, but the other party never talked to him about this topic.

But Aiwass shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

He only remembered the most well-known - or the most powerful factions in the Church: the Judgment Center, the Mediator, the Monument Repair Association, and the Market Supervisor.

In the original plot, after the Church split, these four forces quickly completed the initial separatism. Together with the Controlled Fire, they became the five forces that were hostile to each other in the Church. Players have to take the Saint and brush the favor of these four forces, and the Controlled Fire is the most powerful red-name monster.

Among them, the Judgment Center is the faction that is now putting pressure on Xingtan. They are the extreme papal faction. They are mainly responsible for punishing other small countries that have angered the Theocracy... Most of the papal guards are from this faction, so this is also the most powerful church faction in the Theocracy. Those queen guards sent to Avalon and the guardians of the founder family are almost all from this iron-blooded faction.

The mediators are mainly those elves who like to mediate.

They exist in elves of all ages and classes. In the Nine Pillars Church, there are the most of these people.

From wars to fights, they will intervene when they see it. They advocate pacifism, and the disadvantage is that they always have a sense of superiority of the immortal species - many conflicts of the short-lived species are ridiculous and unimportant in their eyes, just like humans look at cats and dogs fighting in groups. Although it is true.

Therefore, their hostility with other factions is mainly because they tried to "mediate" and ended up dragging themselves in.

The Monument Restoration Society may be the faction led by Cardinal Matilda, after all, she is responsible for "guarding the tomb"; but it may also be the cardinals of the sixth and seventh circles.

This is the most conservative force within the Church, and the faction that is most hostile to the Controlled Fire - they are also the ones who dislike the transformation of the Church by the short-lived species and reject the process of professionalization.

As for the market supervisors, Aiwass is now certain that this is the faction led by Cardinal Cyril.

- Because Aiwass now knows that he is the only cardinal in the Church who understands rituals.

These supervisors specialize in cracking down on the population of various intelligent creatures and the trade of human tissues, and occasionally cracking down on the trade of some dangerous ritual materials. This is not for "heavenly evil", but simply to reduce the benefits of killing.

In general, the more powerful, intelligent, and long-lived biological materials used by ritualists, the more things they can do. Therefore, if this kind of material trade is not cracked down, it is equivalent to encouraging killing. If someone is killed, the body can be chopped up and sold to ritualists or necromancers at a high price, which is equivalent to increasing the benefits of the killer. Most people are unable to sell one-on-one, so naturally middlemen will emerge - and the profit margins are enormous.

It is even very likely that a sinful black profit chain will be formed as a downstream industry that helps other gray and black industries to be destroyed. And the profits generated from it may feed back to the upstream industry, obtain a stronger protective umbrella, and even secretly cultivate powerful ritualists, cursers and necromancers.

Cardinal Cyril is a great wizard himself, and he knows a lot about rituals and curses. Therefore, he can know which materials are valuable-just investigate in turn and he can prescribe the right medicine. This is equivalent to reducing the power of his own inheritance and reducing the profits of murderers and evil organizations around the world... For him, this is naturally equivalent to a kind of dedication.

Without the efforts of the supervisor, I am afraid that Noble Red, who has sufficient supply of ritual materials, would be much more difficult to deal with. However, generally speaking, supervisors are mainly active in the ancient Parthian Kingdom and the Star Antimony Kingdom.

When he first heard that Master Maxim was quite hostile to Cardinal Loki, Aiwass thought he was from the Monuments Restoration Society.

Faced with Aiwass's question, Maxim also nodded: "Yes, I was indeed originally from the Monuments Restoration Society. But I later realized that being conservative in itself has no meaning... Thanks to Cardinal Fafna's Through his teachings, I understood how to use my life to be the most valuable.”

"Can you tell me a little bit?"

Aiwass asked.

"The Home Faction is the church faction to which Cardinal Favna belongs...Cardinal Favna is the manager of the third circle, and her highest proposition is 'the most long-lasting and sustained contribution is construction.'"

Maxim enthusiastically introduced to Aiwass - or preached: "Your 'Silver and Tin Palace' in Avalon was built by Cardinal Favna. The same goes for other elven-style buildings...even Avalon The orphanages, nursing homes, and mission schools in Wallonia were also built under our leadership..."
