atbaatba "Do you want to celebrate the New Year together tonight, Aiwass?"
After lunch, Isabel immediately extended an invitation to Aiwass.
Tomorrow is the Candle Festival on January 1st. A few days ago, when Bishop Mathers came to the Palace of Silver and Tin to carry Queen Sophia's coffin, Aiwass returned the key to St. Guinevere's Chapel to him.
Otherwise Bishop Mathers would not be able to open the door of the chapel, let alone let Queen Sophia stop there first.
And wait until tomorrow, Bishop Mathers will call the apostles of the Crown Lord and the deceased members of the Dulac family to bless Avalon. That is the most important ceremony in Avalon, so it must be presided over by the bishop with the highest rank, status and holy order in Avalon.
When the candle ceremony is over, it will be the funeral of Queen Sophia.
According to the rules of Avalon, people are buried seven days after death. However, because the State Funeral coincided with the Candle Festival, the Queen's funeral could only be postponed one day.
In most countries in the world, the Candle Festival is the most grand day of the year. It is also the beginning of a new year.
Although Sizhu has been a pillar god dedicated to the road since before the dragon era. But in fact, most people don't know what kind of dedication Si Zhu made to firmly occupy the position of Pillar God from ancient times.
In the version circulated in Avalon, it is said that Si Zhu was the original god who created the world and illuminated the world in a world without sun and moon; According to legend, Si Zhu is the origin of all intelligent life; and mages and monks on the path of wisdom believe that Si Zhu's greatest achievement is to find the source of the Dream River and distribute the other eight to other gods.
In short, everyone has his own opinion.
But this is normal.
After all, all real knowledge directly related to the Nine Pillars is the highest level of mysterious knowledge. Whether it is the Beast Master falling in love with Eternal Self, or the Crowned Master defeating the Supreme Heaven, these are secrets that cannot be written down on paper and are only passed down by word of mouth among a very few people.
But even so, people still respect Si Zhu. And Aiwass even knew that even other Tiansi who dedicated themselves to the road respected Sizhu very much. Neither Zhu Tiansi nor Xi Tiansi is interested in the position of Pillar God at all. Even Yan Tiansi, who has the power of transcendence and ranks second on the path of devotion, has no hostility towards Si Zhu.
Because of this, Aiwass believes that the church's version is closest to reality.
The Church of the Nine Pillars believes that Si Zhu lit a fire in the cold and dry dream world full of sin thorns, lighting up the eternally dark dream world, and allowing the people who were sucked dry by the sin thorns to The nine rivers of the dream world are flowing again. From then on, this world began to give birth to life in the material world with "souls".
Because among all the pillar gods that Aiwass knows, they must have become pillar gods later than Sizhu. Only the hourglass and the twin mirrors are not sure yet.Zhu is the original Pillar God, so it all makes sense.
Because the customs of each country are different, the content of the candle ceremony is also different. Anyway, Sizhu doesn't care about these things, and he won't even blame him if he doesn't do it.
This is just a festival for people to politely express their respect for the pillar god, or to express their respect for the elves who believe in candlesticks.
In Avalon, people return to their homes as much as possible the night before Candlemas; if they are unable to do this or have conflicts with family members, they go to their friends Stay together.
Just like Sherlock.
Even the poorest people will try their best to make delicious food on this day and have a little luxury. Not only to pay respect to Si Zhu, but also to reward myself.
The most important ritual on the eve of the Candle Festival is to boil a large pot of hot soup.
Any kind of soup will work. The rich have their own ways of surviving, and the poor have their own ways of surviving. Again it's just boiling a pot of water.
After the soup boils, each family member can throw something they like into the pot, and then the family will drink the soup together. In this soup is Si Zhu's blessing to people, even if the person is seriously ill and dying, he will stay in the world for two more days.
Although Si Zhu does not care about people's respect for himself, he will also protect those believers who pray to him for peace on this day. If there are homeless people, they only need to light a candle, or even just light a match, and the candlestick will give them some power, so that the flame can continue and their bodies can gradually recover. Healthy, so that they will not freeze to death in the cold wind, but can safely see the sunshine tomorrow morning.
Because of this, even the most ruthless killer will not kill on this day.
It is not only the restraint of conscience, but also the reverence for the pillar god.
And obviously, Edward will not work overtime.
If Aiwass stays in the Palace of Silver and Tin, then only Yulia and Edward will be left in the family; if Aiwass brings Yulia here, then only Yulia and Edward will be left in the family. Edward is now alone.
It’s too lonely.
"There must be no problem with Yulia's side," Aiwass thought, "But can I bring him with Edward's side?"
"I don't have one here anyway. "
Isabel moved her butt nervously, and said calmly, "I also want to see Brother Edward."
"He should only dare to call you Her Majesty. ."
Aiwass joked, "I don't dare call you sister."
After that, the two looked at each other and smiled.
Ligeia held the hot beer she had brewed, sipping it in small sips and looking at the two of them with squinting eyes.
After that natural kiss, the atmosphere between the two changed subtly.
The most obvious thing is that Isabel has become bolder.
Before, she obviously didn’t dare to joke with Aiwass or act coquettishly. She only dared to come to Aiwass when she was talking about business. At other times, she would wait for Aiwass to come to her. .
Aiwass also respected and distanced Isabel before. Rather than being friends, we are more like elders or teachers.
Although on a verbal level, the two of them have not officially confirmed their relationship. But the actual atmosphere and mode of getting along have changed.
Ligeia easily noticed this change in the atmosphere.
It’s not like she never fell in love when she was young. Looking at the smile on Isabel's face, I just felt a little bit sour.
Tsk, there is too much lemon in this beer, which is a bit unpleasant. Ligeia thought.
As for Aiwass, there was actually some work waiting for Isabel to handle it.
After the new king came to the throne, he toured the country for five days. He will definitely have a lot of work when he comes back.
The half day I came back early was used to deal with the backlog of work.
The contract with Grandet, the matter with Emma, the new Minister of Trade who was killed by Aiwass, the pressure on the Minister of Camelot, and the gifts given to her by those ministers Aiwass originally kept gifts and other things for Isabel.
Because according to Aiwass before, the relationship between him and Isabel must be maintained well.
Isabel trusts Aiwass enough, so Aiwass cannot consume this trust at will. Therefore, although he can do some things by his own will, he still has to make up for the processes that need to be made up.
But from the perspective of Aiwass now, he feels that he can be busy again.
Those matters that in principle must be nodded and approved by Isabel, he can also implement them in advance and sign them himself. For example, the business contract with Grandet.
Mainly because Aiwass started to feel a little sorry for Isabel.
After all, this is the last day of the year, so it’s better to give her half a day off. She will be busy for two more days tomorrow and the day after.
Let her have a good rest this afternoon. After she is completely free, she will give a summary report to Isabel.
"Lily," Aiwass ordered, "you will go to the Inspectorate later. Ask Edward to come directly to the Palace of Silver and Tin after get off work or give him a call. Forget it. It's better to call directly to avoid having to make another trip."
"Okay." Lily nodded.
"Lulu, have you decided where to go this afternoon?"
Aiwass turned to look at Isabel and reminded, "But we are still in the mourning period. If you want to watch opera or other entertainment, it will be difficult. And the New Year is coming soon, and there may not be many orchestras on Glass Island."
Isabel shook her head slightly and said obediently, "I want to accompany the teacher."
"Master Yanis?"
Aiwass suddenly realized, "Speaking of which, where did she go today?" ”
He suddenly realized that he didn’t seem to see this elf who was always noisy today.
Her cheerful yet elegant laughter can always be heard in the paintings.
Today he even kissed Isabel in the bedroom. If it were normal, Yanis would have popped her head out with a smile and smacking her lips.
And even during the lunch gathering, she did not show up.
Master Yanis will leave after the funeral the day after tomorrow.
It is now more than a year ago that she was no longer in the Palace of Silver and Tin, where has she gone?
"I don't know."
Isabel shook her head "But I guess she should be at the place where she first met her grandmother. It should be in the Red Queen District, I don't know where exactly."
"Then let me accompany you to find it."
p>Aiwass chuckled and stretched out his hand to Isabel, "I stopped by to visit the teachers
" But you are not suitable for walking outside with this appearance. By the way, when you went to those people to investigate intelligence, you probably didn’t have this face on your face."
"Of course"
Isabel proudly puffed up her chest, as if Just asking for compliments: "I have mastered the power of the strong illusion and my appearance can be changed at will. "
As she spoke, the green light of the road lit up in her pupils.
Isabel put her hands on her face, and the light pink light bloomed between her fingers. As she gently wiped her face, Isabel changed her appearance directly.
Under the influence of the illusion, Isabel's hair turned white and her pupils turned blue. She looks a lot shorter.
Except that her eyes are blue instead of red, she looks very similar to Yulia.
Aiwass tried. He reached out and touched her head, and Isabel also smiled and leaned her head over for Aiwass to touch.
It was very magical, and there was no trace of anything invisible in the void. Head.
Aiwass did feel the same touch as Yulia’s hair at a lower position than Isabel.
Obviously, it was because of Isabel and Yuli. Ya has enough contact with her, so she can become her likeness with incomparable accuracy.
“Is this the illusion of strength?”
Aiwass sighed, “If I hadn’t been watching. The illusion you used may actually be deceived for a moment. "
The reason why I say it was a moment is because Yulia would never curl her eyebrows and show a coquettish smile like a kitten like this.
"I deliberately left a loophole. "Yes," Isabel was somewhat unconvinced, "If I turned into a complete Yulia and concentrated on playing the role, I don't think you would be able to recognize it either.I am an all-rounder. Acting is also my area of expertise. ”
But when she said this, Aiwass suddenly reacted, “Then when you asked the question before, it couldn’t be Yulia.”
< p>"Hey" Isabel suddenly started to act stupid"It can't be me"
Aiwass guessed it immediately
Isabel. She defended, "I still made a lot of changes. If they meet you in the future, they will only think that you look familiar and will never recognize you."
If it had been in the past, she would probably be the same now. You have to apologize carefully. How can you argue with Aiwass now?
But this way of getting along makes Aiwass more relaxed.
So Aiwass. Si smiled and stretched out his hand to mess up the hair of Isabel, who played "Yulia", "Then we'll be clear. "
Isabel hugged her head and transformed back into her original form in a burst of distortion. Her original hair had also become messy.
"Humph. "Isabel wrinkled her nose, but couldn't help but laugh.
She usually doesn't like to laugh that much, but today she couldn't help but want to laugh. It was like seeing a sunny day Same, I feel relaxed and happy.
I’ll use your face next time
Isabel covered her head and thought viciously
