Today's White Dance Shoes Club has a slightly different layout than usual.
All the tables on the first floor were pushed into the corners, and the front desk where Allen and the bartender were originally was empty. The chairs were divided into three groups, neatly placed in front of the stage and on the left and right sides.
A few groups of reporters gathered in twos and threes in the gaps between the three groups of chairs, chatting quietly, with several flashlights standing next to them. The largest camera is almost as tall as a person and stands on the ground in the shape of a giant accordion; there are also small cameras that use stands and can be held in the hand.
There are not many guests sitting down now. Sitting in the middle and in the front row is a knight in shining armor, fully armed and wearing a helmet. There was no one around him, and all the chairs around him were empty. Even so, he remained motionless and sat upright.
The knight alone occupied two positions. On the seat next to his right hand, there was a silver-white two-handed sword leaning at an angle. Its handle is very long, more than one-third of its length, and the sword in front is long and narrow, but very thick. The sword body is not a flat line, but a thin hexagon, more like a bladed lance than a "sword".
This is a weapon that focuses more on thrusting than slashing. It is obviously not suitable for use in cities. It is one of the most common weapons used by air cavalry who fight on griffins.
It was put into a thick hard leather scabbard. The surface of the scabbard was silver-gray plated, with a large number of fine diamonds embedded on it. The diamonds were used to spell out a pattern of honor. word. It was gleaming in the light.
This is the "Sword of Honor" that can be temporarily obtained by retired air cavalry who have participated in wars and achieved at least three major victories. The word "honor" above was designed and written by Queen Sofia herself, and the diamonds were embedded one by one by royal craftsmen.
This sword, awarded by the Queen herself, contains powerful authoritative power. If its descendants no longer become air cavalry, it will be taken back after seventy years of inheritance; if the descendants are willing to join the army, they can directly carry the sword and join the Royal Air Force Academy of Avalon. This means that it will be passed down from generation to generation. of honor.
Although the face cannot be seen from behind, this sword has already shown the identity of the knight in shining armor. He is Director Gordon who has just been transferred.
At Aiwass’s signal, Lily pushed Aiwass’s wheelchair and walked over slowly.
Aiwass just looked at Gordon from a distance. Before he even got close, Gordon noticed his gaze and turned his head.
After noticing that the source of his gaze was Aiwass, the old knight nodded slowly. It seems to be showing friendship and recognition.
But he immediately noticed Princess Isabel who was following Aiwass. The old knight immediately stood up, took off his helmet, and half-knelt on the ground with a clang.
"The Silver Crowned Dragon is above. I send my greetings to you, Your Highness."
GeDeng's old and deep voice sounded, and it was extremely clear even in the noisy club.
Those who failed to notice Aiwass at first due to the crowds and noise were also attracted by Gordon's voice.
Realizing that Aiwass was coming, the reporters subconsciously wanted to take pictures.
But before the camera could be set up, they noticed Princess Isabel following closely beside Aiwass, and were immediately startled.
It’s okay to take pictures of Aiwass without permission. Although he is the adopted son of the Moriarty family, he did not inherit the family armor after all.
In Avalon, armor itself is a symbol of authority. People who wear armor must be respected, but even a knight who can enter the Round Table Hall, as long as he goes out without wearing armor, it means that he is now regarded as a knight. Travel as an ordinary person. You can be photographed or painted, you can have your body touched, and you don’t need to say hello or give way when you meet.
But Isabel’s situation is different.
Although Isabel, who abandoned the sacred tradition of Avalon and embarked on the path of beauty, is not as recognized as her elder brother and younger brother, she is still a true princess after all.
If they secretly filmed Isabel, they might not be able to come back tomorrow or tonight before someone wearing a black suit and white gloves would knock on the door.
The people present were either half-kneeling and stroking their chests to perform the knight's salute, or they were bowing to Isabel. The inconsistent and different greetings sounded one after another.
If it were before, Isabel would be so nervous that her brain would freeze now.
But now she just took courage and took a breath.
Facing the crowd, he showed a gentle smile imitating Aiwass, and waved around reservedly, "Good afternoon, everyone, please get up. May the Silver Crowned Dragon bless you.
“After the ceremony begins, you can take photos. "
Isabel's clear and melodious girlish voice sounded, and people ended their salutes.
A strange idea came to their minds.
It seems that this Her Royal Highness the Princess, who seldom goes out, is not as shy and inarticulate as the legend says
Isn’t she quite decent?
At this time, Jing Jing was in Aiwass Behind him, Aiden ran over under the gaze of everyone, and with his chest raised and his head raised, he removed the chair on the left side of the old knight Gordon.
Lily pushed Aiwass' wheelchair in an elegant reverse. He parked the wheelchair in the open space, and Isabel sat on the left side of Aiwass. This made people who originally wanted to sit over to show their familiarity no longer dare to sit over.
The result was that. The seats in the middle group of the first row were all empty from Isabel to the left.
So Aiwass took the initiative to arrange for his classmates to sit here. Even so, the seats to the left of Isabel were still empty. Now, Angela is next.
As Aiwass took his seat, he was standing and chatting quietly in various corners of the club.People also consciously found their seats and sat down. The person sitting one seat to the right of Gordon is a middle-aged man wearing a white suit and with neat short blond hair.
Wearing a white suit means that he is a person who graduated from the first school and engages in legal work. Either a judge in regular uniform or a lawyer.
He stretched out his hand and shook hands with Gordon, whispered a few words and sat down.
Going further to the right from him, it becomes a lot more mixed, with people wearing all kinds of clothes. Aiwass's eldest brother, Edward, sat in the seat on the left group, nodded to Aiwass from a distance, and did not come over to say hello to Aiwass.
Gordon also placed his helmet on the chair next to his sword.
He turned his head hesitantly and greeted softly, "Mr. Aiwass."
"Director Gordon."
Aiwass said to He nodded and chuckled, "I should still call you Inspector Gordon now."
"That's fine. It's just a job."
Old The knight is obviously not satisfied with his promotion. "Inspectors have things that inspectors can do, and inspectors also have things that only inspectors can do. They are all to protect Avalon, but the work content is slightly different.
"I do have a question, Mr. Aiwass. I hope you can clear up my confusion. Excuse me, what is your relationship with Your Highness Isabel?"
"Ah, we are friends. "
Aiwass replied with a smile.
After he finished speaking, he turned back and looked at Isabel.
Isabel also heard this topic and also He leaned forward and emphasized, "We are very good friends, Mr. Gordon. ”
Aiwass patted her arm gently and motioned for Isabel to sit back first.
For some reason, Isabel seemed to be in a good mood. Not only was she more cheerful than usual, She was a little bolder and even looked a little excited. If there weren't a lot of people here, she might have hummed a song.
"Yes, Your Highness, I understand. ”
The old man with dark blue pupils replied without hesitation.
He looked at Isabel, who put her hands on Aiwass’ wheelchair, with a resolute and vicissitudes of face. Shang Man was hesitant to speak.
But in the end he swallowed his words silently and pretended that he didn't see anything.
It was still very lively at first. There was even a noisy club, but it quickly became quiet after Aiwas or Princess Isabel appeared. It only took less than ten minutes for everyone to take their seats.
Soon, except for the reporters and photographers who were still standing, as well as the inspectors and inspectors standing in the corner, there was no longer anyone standing in the hall on the first floor, so the door was closed and blue and white appeared on the walls.
The only person wearing armor was Gordon, and there were not even many people wearing white suits.One-fifth of the people were wearing suits of other colors or simply wearing other clothes.
Most of them are officials. In addition to administrative officers and affairs officers, there are also scholars, pastors, professors and executives of large companies. Aiwass also saw his mentor, Professor Bard.
More people gathered on the second floor.
They are spectators and do not need special invitations. As long as they are of age and have decent formal attire, they can come.
Aiden found his father on the second floor of the club before, waved to him excitedly, and pointed him out to Aiwass. He was a businessman with small eyes who looked gentle, had a big belly, was white and fat. The frightened middle-aged man waved his hands quickly and told him to be quiet.
At this moment, Aiwass suddenly felt something in his heart.
Because just now, Shadow Demon woke up.
My master
A hoarse and vicious voice sounded from the bottom of Aiwass’s heart.
I feel that the little thief who stole the power of shadow is nearby
Is that the assassin?
Aiwass narrowed his eyes slightly.
You really dare to come here
The assassin of "Eagle Eye" is very courageous.
This time is completely different from Monday. There are many high-level extraordinary people present this time. And he learned the lesson from last time, and when he closed the door, he asked the lawyer present to seal it.
Or, she was just here to monitor him
Aiwass touched the heavy key hanging on his waist, feeling calm.
Aiwass was not afraid of her at all this time.
It is better to say that he can’t even wait
If you don’t take action, my key will not be in vain
My master, can I give it to you this time? Take action, I mean, if your life is in danger
Shadow Demon's voice became anxious and manic.
"Tell me first, where is she?"
Aiwass asked in his heart.
So Shadow Demon marked her target
It gave part of its power to Aiwass. Even if there is only one level of shadow affinity, it can still accommodate a little bit of the shadow demon's characteristics.
As a result, Aiwass gained the short-term "shadow vision" ability
I saw Aiwass's pupils darken slightly, as if covered with a thin and transparent black gauze .
In his field of vision, the entire space became dim. The original black shadow also turned into a transparent gray, and the color of the person hiding in the shadow became darker.
Aiwass could see clearly that the female assassin was hiding directly under the largest, trolley-like camera in the lobby on the first floor, quietly hiding in the shadows.
"No need."
Aiwass calmly withdrew his gaze, and then calmly replied in his heart, "I don't need you this time.", Shadow Demon. Just see how I do it. ”
Okay, Master
Shadow Demon’s voice gradually became calm and cold. But her hoarse and mature female voice became clearer, more like human speech.
Then I will wait and see in silence
The implication is that if Aiwass finds that he can’t beat it and calls it again, then it may not be possible. It will be obedient.
Although it is greedy for the sacred flesh and blood that is voluntarily offered, the devil is always arrogant.
Since it has said that it has no use for it, it will not use it. Rush to help at the meeting
“Of course. "
Aiwass raised the corners of his mouth, "I won't let you down. ”
He knows that if he can handle the situation well now, such as defeating an enemy more powerful than him, or even just surviving the Shadow Demon from the enemy, he will respect him more. He who does not rely on the Shadow Demon The fact that he can solve problems with strength just shows the strength of his mind and the prominence of his talents.
That is the almost irresistible power of temptation and control brought about by the "pastoral method". The difference is the recognition of the devil.
Just like Aiwass's willingness to challenge the evil warlock Veronica
After careful and careful planning. and conspiracy, and finally face the strong with a weak body, and win perfectly or bite off the opponent's flesh and blood. This is the core principle of transcendence
And this requires that he must have enough. "Talent" and "Courage"
The principles of transcendence are rebellion and victory.
