Chapter 14 Serial Trap

When Aiwass was immersed in sadness and anger, he suddenly heard a knock on the study door.

An old voice with an elf accent came from the door of the study leisurely and clearly: "Master Aiwass, there is a guest looking for you."

That voice came to Aiwass. It sounds so familiar, but now it seems a little strange because I haven't heard it for a long time.

That was the elf butler, Oswald, who had taken care of Aiwass since childhood.

Since he went to the Theocracy to pursue the traces of old James, he never returned to Avalon.

When Oswald left, Aiwass was still a weak boy whose life was threatened by the second-level demonologist and had to use a wheelchair to travel. He was also worried that Aiwass would be plotted by the Noble Red people.

Now, Aiwass is already the powerful minister under Avalon alone, and even the entire Noble Red has been completely demolished by Aiwass. Even the leader of the Noble Red was personally killed and destroyed by Aiwass until he was completely destroyed physically and mentally.

At this moment, Aiwass missed Oswald a little.

He picked up a towel and wiped his face, sniffed, and cleared his throat. The circles under his eyes were still a little red, but his spirits had stabilized again.

Aiwass opened the door to the study and nodded politely, "Mr. Oswald."

The old butler who appeared in front of him was the old butler who was as skinny as a wolf.

At nearly two meters tall, he is actually quite short by the standards of pure-blood elves. But to humans, it feels like a slender ghost, full of oppression.

Oswald had his hands behind his back, and the deep wrinkles on his face were as deep as tree bark. Even at this age, there is no trace of rickets on his back. His back was as straight and unyielding as his pride.

His sharp wolf-like gaze immediately looked into Aiwass’s eyes.

The old housekeeper easily realized that Aiwass had just cried.

But he did not ask about it. Instead, he looked away very calmly, as if he had not seen anything.

He bowed his head slightly to Aiwass, and then slowly walked towards the door with his hands behind his back.

Aiwass, who was wearing a red bishop's robe, clasped his hands together and followed the old elf. His eyes subconsciously glanced at home, but that gentle and silent figure was missing.

Lily is no longer here.

The moment he realized this, Aiwass bit the air lightly. As if he was chewing something slowly, the muscles in his cheeks suddenly swelled and smoothed out.

When he walked to the living room, Aiwass saw another familiar figure.

Gray pupils, deep eye sockets, thin cheeks and high cheekbones. Coupled with the gray hair that was neatly combed back, but more than half of his head was bald

That was his adoptive father James, whom he had not seen for a long time.

For some reason, he didn't go to the luncheon at the Palace of Silver and Tin, nor did he have lunch at home. Instead, he put on glasses with two silver chains and sat leisurely in the living room, drinking tea and reading the newspaper.

"You wait here first, I will bring the guests."

Oswald turned back and signaled.

Aiwass nodded politely and responded, "Okay, Mr. Oswald."

Looking at Aiwass coming out and sitting opposite him, James raised his head and smiled gently He joked, "What, have you found the book you asked for? Can daddy go back to the study?"

This polite old gentleman was not wearing formal clothes at the moment. Instead, he simply wore a brown woolen vest and a white shirt underneath.

Although it seems that old James gives people the impression of a gentle, elegant and thin scholar, but now you can see clear muscle marks on his body. At least his shoulders can tie his shirt firmly. Really full. He sat peacefully on the sofa, giving people a sense of solidity and stability.

Looking at his adoptive father whom he had not seen for a long time, Aiwass was startled subconsciously.

There was a complex and nostalgic look in his eyes, and then he dispelled it and showed a calm smile, "I have found it, father."

This is Aiwass and James Sr. mode of interaction between them.

Old James would call himself "Dad" in front of the children, but in fact only Yulia would call him Dad. Both Aiwass and Edward would refer to him as "father" using more formal grammar.

This does not mean that the relationship between father and son is too unfamiliar, but that they just cater to each other and rush to each other in both directions. Old James hopes that his children can be closer to him, while Aiwass and Edward both hope that they can be independent as soon as possible. , become a reliable and trustworthy adult.

If someone else were to play "I", Oswald and his father would not be able to pass the two levels alone.

Aiwass suddenly had such an idea in his mind.

Because Aiwass and Yulia are very sensible. Although Oswald is only their butler, they will respectfully address each other as "Mr. Oswald", and in most cases they will address each other as "you".

If you take it for granted that you call the wrong person in both places, Oswald and Old James, I am afraid that their identities will be suspected in an instant. Once they see through the fact that "this Aiwass is a promoted person and they are in a dream", then Aiwass will be eliminated and die immediately. Even after being eliminated, others would still hear sarcastic laughter.

Aiwass couldn’t help but feel scared.

At this moment, Oswald invited the guests over from the living room.

Aiwass noticed this detail.

According to Oswald's habit, Aiwass should be led by him to the living room where the guests were accommodated, just like when Haina came early the next morning.

But he specifically asked Aiwass to sit opposite James Sr.

This is obvious.

It is Oswald who does not want Aiwass to meet this guest alone, so he hopes that old James will be present when the two talk. He has two possible motives. One is loyalty to James Sr., and the other is concern for Aiwass.

When the guest appeared in front of Aiwass, Aiwass was immediately convinced that this must be the latter possibility.

Because Aiwass also knew the visitor.

That was an elf butler who looked about twenty years younger than Oswald. He had a Chinese character, a serious face, and relatively thicker hair. If Oswald is an old man in his seventies or eighties, then this man is more like the kind of leader who has not yet retired.

He is the guardian elf of the Drost family.

"Mr. Diomedes."

Aiwass stood up and nodded slightly.

The elf named Diomedes also bowed slightly and drew a triangle on his chest with his right hand, "May the Candlelight bless you, Bishop Moriarty."

"What's the matter with you suddenly coming to me?"

Aiwass asked politely.

But Diomedes just kept smiling and replied smoothly, "It is the head of the family who wants to invite you to the Palace of Silver and Tin. Your mentor, Bishop Mathers, has not arrived yet, but such a big event The scene still requires the testimony of a high-status bishop.

“I think that in the whole of Avalon, except Bishop Mathers, there is no more pious and holy bishop than you. Please give me some face and come with me. "

Hearing what Diomedes said, Aiwass raised his eyebrows slightly.

He understood now.

Either he was captured alive Shylock ate the spirit spirit and surrendered him; or the letter he sent to Isabel was intercepted.

The Hermes family is not the founding family. , and Sherlock in this world must not have reconciled with his family, so his disappearance will not alarm anyone.

But if Aiwass who knows the truth is left out, it is very likely. This caused unnecessary changes in Minister Drost's conspiracy, so Minister Drost sent Diomedes to "invite" Aiwass.

If Aiwass is dead or alive. If he doesn't go out or do anything, then with Oswald's protection, he will definitely be safe, at least until the end of the ceremony.

Those fifth-level extraordinary beings from Star Antimony, Obviously he is unwilling to directly attack the Founding Family for the benefit of Drost. After all, whether Drost's conspiracy is exposed or not has nothing to do with Xing Antimony's plan.

If Aiwass did not analyze this level, but naively believed that "following Diomedes will trigger the plot", then he would be locked up directly at the beginning, or even be killed. Killed in the chaos.

This is undoubtedly another fatal trap.

These two consecutive attacks immediately made Aiwass's heart tremble and he became more energetic.

So Aiwass smiled and declined and said, "I won't go. After all, I'm just a young man. There are many people who are more qualified than me. If I go, people will only say yes." Not serious."

But Diomedes shook his head and said firmly, "Only you can do it. Sir, I have specifically told you that it will be a great regret if you are missing from this banquet."

"If he doesn't want to go, then he won't go."

At this moment, James, who was reading the newspaper, just said calmly, "If he wants to go, I can't stop him." Stay. But if he doesn’t want to go, you can’t drag him away.”

He put down the newspaper and stared at Diomedes with his gray eyes. “You understand what I mean, Diomedes. "

"As you wish, Professor Moriarty"

Diomedes did not continue to try to take Aiwass away, but gave up immediately without hesitation. own plan and bowed politely to James.

He did not look resigned at all, and even seemed relieved.

He breathed a sigh of relief, and Aiwass looked extremely familiar.

Lily once told him that she was "relieved" when Diomedes was forced to give up his assassination.
