Chapter 86 Thousand Faces of Aiwas

Evans quickly adapted to the campus life of the Royal Law University.

It was Thursday afternoon.

Two days had passed since Aiwas was on the Glass Steps for the second time.

It was completely different from the last time at the Pelican Bar - although Aiwas was on the newspaper, not many people knew him at school.

Because there were basically not many students who would buy expensive and serious newspapers like the Glass Steps.

The content of the Glass Steps was too serious, and most of the news was very brief - for example, the death of a big shot, personnel changes at the top of a department, the prosperity or crisis of an industry, how laws and taxes were adjusted, the explanation of key policies this year or next year, and important events happening in other countries.

There was no gossip or fun, nor were there serial novels, short poems and jokes, or interesting advertisements that often appeared in other newspapers. Even the details of many news were incomplete, and many major events were only a short sentence.

The most frequently appearing words in the Glass Steps are various "names" - and for students, they basically don't know most of the names, and they will only have a headache when they look at them. The only attraction is probably Master Janice's "magic painting".

So ordinary students will not buy this kind of thing at all. It has nothing to do with intelligence or knowledge... If someone suddenly buys the Glass Steps, then he is probably not for the knowledge or intelligence on it, because they can't understand it. This is either a request from parents, or just to show off and pretend that they can understand it.

At that time, Aiwass was just a "strange young man who suddenly made the front page of the Glass Steps" to the students of the Royal Law University, and they were "other people's children" who were hostile to them.

After all, whether it is the Pelican Bar or the Demonologist, it is a very distant thing for these students living in the Red Queen District.

But the murder that happened in the White Shoes Club on Monday afternoon and the killer who intended to murder Princess Isabel were different.

This is what happened around them, and even many students saw it with their own eyes.

Secretary Rafe fell from the second floor and landed at their feet, dying of poison in front of the students; the supervisors and inspectors who came from all over the city lined up in front of the club; the air cavalrymen wearing silver-white armor and dragon-headed helmets rode tall and majestic white griffins and flew in the air at high speed...

-If Avalon goes to war one day, it will probably be like this! The students thought excitedly.

In contrast to the generally conservative Round Table Hall and the Silver and Tin Hall, the students are very enthusiastic about war. Their daily life that keeps repeating is too comfortable and boring, and the students are eager to find something exciting.

And this matter is exciting enough.

The beautiful female killer emerged from the shadow of Her Royal Highness the Princess, and the old knight in armor and holding a two-handed giant sword chased her. The two fought fiercely on the street, and the roads in the city were blocked by law spells. The air cavalry in the sky continued to attack. The crackling lightning and the sharp hurricanes like blades swept the streets. The thunder that could be heard in the most marginal areas of Glass Island continued to come from the clouds.

The old knight chased her from the Red Queen District to the White Queen District, and from the White Queen District to the Lloyd District. The mobility he could burst out was very limited, and he almost lost her after two streets - but fortunately there were griffin knights in the sky, and Director Gordon also called his own griffin.

But after they reached the sky, it was even more difficult to track.

The clues they could see were "there was no obstacle on the ground, but the shadow flashed on the ground." When the distance became higher, it was even more difficult to identify.

Not to mention, the streets and alleys of Glass Island are so narrow. It really makes people chase.

There are a large number of knight families, priests, elves, wealthy businessmen, scholars and officials among the residents of the Red and White Queen District. There were also some distinguished guests traveling from foreign countries.

The cunning assassin also led them through churches, museums, art galleries, government buildings, courts, orphanages, schools, hospitals, research institutes... Her route was not even a straight line, but she deliberately went around these places and into the crowd to guide the knights to attack her.

But none of these old knights were reckless warriors who were hot-blooded. They were generally over 40 years old when they could enter the Round Table Hall. They were already past that reckless age and were all very calm.

- If they took action by force, it was not known whether the high-level assassins who were adapted to the road would be in trouble, but passers-by would definitely die. And they would die one by one.

It would be better to let the assassin go!

After all, the assassin only assassinated a low-level official. Although she once escaped into the shadow of Her Royal Highness the Princess... but she did not really assassinate a member of the royal family after all.

The assassin also obviously knew what they were afraid of, so he deliberately led them around in circles. Relying on extremely skilled clones, stealth and vision deception techniques, the people from the Supervisory Bureau lost the target before dark. The only thing that can be confirmed is that the target entered the Lloyd's District before disappearing.

——The Lloyd's District and the Red and White Queen's District are not of the same importance.

So the Lloyd's District was completely closed. The port was temporarily suspended, and even the navy that was resting on the shore was alarmed. Six squadrons of inspectors mixed with a large number of inspectors went from street to street in the Lloyd's District until dawn, but the killer was still not caught.

The Supervisory Bureau simply pretended that they were not chasing the assassin, but rectifying the public security in the capital - so they took down a total of thirteen gathering dens of illegal organizations and arrested more than 400 people involved in the case. It can be regarded as a large-scale event with a lot of prestige.

Anyway, since we are here, we can't go back empty-handed.

In the eyes of the people who don't know about this, this is a special operation of the Supervisory Bureau. But for the few people who know the inside story, the Supervisory Bureau has even become a joke.

The Supervisory Bureau, which was almost fully mobilized, couldn't catch a single person - compared with the fact that "the killer was not caught", the Supervisory Bureau's overly serious attitude is more likely to be laughed at.

But on the contrary, Commissioner Gordon, who was the first to catch up, was not only not punished, but was commended.

Because what he did at the first moment was completely correct: he did not launch a strong attack on the assassin, but pushed him away from the princess first.

Even though this push helped the other party escape safely, Gordon's primary goal had been achieved. That is to protect Princess Isabel.

——Again, if the assassin was let go, then the one who died was only a minister's personal secretary. And if the assassin was trapped in the club, she would kill people everywhere, and it was unknown how many students would be killed or injured. Compared with their safety, letting a prisoner escape is a more acceptable consequence.

Of course, his commendation will not be issued immediately. But Aiwass heard from Isabel that Commissioner Gordon would be transferred to the Inspectorate as a senior inspector responsible for managing and supervising the discipline of all regional inspectorates on Glass Island.

From the director to the senior inspector, it seems like a half-level downgrade. But in fact, it was actually a promotion of one and a half levels - and he could even continue to manage his previous department.

Compared with the Supervisory Bureau, which caused a big commotion known to the whole city, Aiwass, who was sitting motionless in a wheelchair, seemed even more powerful. After all, anyone could see how much damage Aiwass's shot had caused her. To exaggerate a little, the damage caused by Aiwass might be all the damage.

The students who witnessed the "big event" with their own eyes were extremely excited and even exaggerated it to other students who didn't see it.

Because there were too many students present at the time, but in fact no one really saw the whole picture of the matter - at least more than 80% of them did not notice that there was a thin knife the size of a little finger stuck in the back of Secretary Raff; only those around him heard Aiwass calling Director Gordon.

Although Aiwass was praised in the newspaper, Aiwass was also mysterious in the interview with the set of "I won't tell you, you guess it yourself".

Because of this, they relied on their own imagination and understanding to try to complete this seemingly happy event.

When students could only guess on their own, almost everyone told a slightly different story. And those who heard the story felt that they had to share it with others. So they went to find someone to tell the second round, and added some embellishments based on their own memories...

--After permutations and combinations, there were more than 70 versions of the story during the lunch break the next day.

At lunch, almost every table in the cafeteria was telling this story. And the stories on each table were different, as if they were from different timelines.

There were versions that sounded a bit normal, such as "Evans is the ex-boyfriend of the female assassin" and "The assassin is the stepmother of Evans"; there were also some subtle speculations such as "Evans is the secret guard of Her Royal Highness the Princess" and "Evans is a prophet".

In the end, there were even stories with legendary plots and ups and downs, such as "The assassin's target is actually Queen Sofia", "The assassin is a vengeful princess of the previous dynasty", and "The assassin is a demon in human form".

Now it seems that there are students who plan to use Evans as the protagonist to carry out secondary creation plans...

Evans has really become a celebrity now.

As planned, he also received the kindness and recognition of his classmates, but the way was not what he thought.

Now he has become an urban legend with thousands of faces. Aiwass believed that even if there were professional spies who came to the university to inquire about him, they would probably be confused.

How could everyone give different answers?

Is Aiwass so mysterious?

In the end, Aiwass gained fame, Director Gordon was promoted, the students present got something to talk about, and the students not present had fun.

Although other departments were verbally criticized, no one really accepted the punishment - the knights' judgment on the matter was completely correct before, and the assassin was not really planning to assassinate Her Royal Highness, so Her Majesty the Queen would not be too obsessed with the slippery and difficult-to-catch killer.

Although the commotion was huge, the largest damage they caused in this incident was probably the destruction of some walls of buildings in the Lloyd's District. And these losses can be fully included in the operation funds of "taking down thirteen illegal organizations", and there are even many redundancies.

The only two people who felt sad were probably Aiden and Isabel.

Isabel was simply sad because she couldn't go to the White Shoes Club.

During this incident, the White Shoes Club was temporarily closed down.

Although Isabel listened to Allen and knew that it would be unblocked later. But after more than two months of enrollment, she finally joined the first student organization. As a result, before she had time to make friends or even say a word to strangers, the organization was closed down.

Aiden was extremely unlucky.

As a student who had contact with the assassin, he was transferred by the Supervisory Bureau for special interrogation twice. Even the copy of "Dracula" was taken away.

Even though Aiden didn't really listen during class, he missed two classes in a row.

Mainly, Aiden felt a little anxious: Now that the final exam is coming soon, how can I make up for the classes I missed!

"- Can't you just come two weeks later?!" He complained.

In that case, if I don't do well in the exam this semester, I can directly blame you when I go home!

Now there is nearly a month before the final exam, and it is so uncomfortable to be in the middle of nowhere.

What made Aiden even sadder was that his first love ended before it even began.

The "mysterious lady in a white dress who might have a crush on him" turned out to be a vicious and ruthless woman - this hit him hard.

Aiwass heard his complaints and just smiled and said nothing.

It's okay, brother. Stay calm...

- Sooner or later, you will get used to it.
