"The Shadow of Avalon ritual itself is a counterattack ritual. It can only solve part of the problem."
After explaining the mechanism of the ritual, Shafiya pointed out the shortcomings of the ritual. "Objectively speaking, the damage caused to Avalon by the Star Antimony Man controlling Drost to assassinate Her Majesty Sophia is actually far less than the damage they caused to Avalon by letting the knights kill each other.
"As you said He said that the knights who were loyal to the royal family would probably be killed immediately. Even if Lancelot I was resurrected, he would not be able to bury all the remaining knights together.
"Even if Lancelot I is the founding monarch of Avalon, we are still living in the present after all. That His Majesty is not a Tiansi or an apostle. Even if he is successfully resurrected, he is only a mortal. It is impossible for a mortal to control an entire country in such detail. He still has to rely on today's knights and officials to rule Avalon."
After all, Avalon is a very large and complex organization. .
If the entire Round Table Hall were to die suddenly, the entire country would basically be paralyzed. Even if a new group of leaders is replaced, they must be replaced gradually one by one. It is impossible to replace everyone at the same time.
Just by defeating the invading enemy, thwarting the enemy's conspiracy, or obtaining the decisive power of the eternal pope, we can only obtain "stability" and be protected from external enemies, but it still cannot solve the internal problems of Avalon. The problem was that Lancelot I could punish the corrupt and greedy ministers, but he could not create a better minister out of thin air.
"Her Majesty Sophia once said that Lancelot is just a talisman to preserve the integrity of Avalon's sovereignty and the last chance to repair the royal power corroded by Prince Lloyd. With that Majesty's character, he There is a high probability that he will not directly participate in the rule.
“And being too close to mortals will only make the mysterious aura of the resurrected monarch gradually fade away, and the rule of people from the past will also make Ah. Wallonia is approaching dusk. Therefore, the future monarch of Avalon is still little Isa, and this is unshakable. "
Shafiya replied simply, "Even if all the knights loyal to the royal family die, we must find some of the remaining knights who can be won over. ”
They were unable to forcibly pull out a team that was “more loyal to the royal family” from this team that was obviously betrayed, as a transition to the interim ruling.
Because everyone's hands are stained with blood, it is impossible to tell from this point.
And after hearing the professor's words, "The Moriarty family is the only founding family that is completely uninfluenced by Lloyd's." "After that, a new idea suddenly appeared in Shafiya's mind, and it continued to expand and became more and more clear.
Can I use "Whether you are willing to obey the Moriarty family?" How to re-divide these ministers?
Professor Moriarty is a senior executive of Lloyd's, and he can undoubtedly represent the will of Lloyd's.
Then. All it takes is, from a Lloyd's level, MoriartyBy cutting off the professors and the leaders who obeyed the Star Antimony people, Lloyd's can be divided into "Lloyd's loyal to the royal family" and "Lloyd's not loyal to the royal family." Win over a group of people, warn a group of people, and then punish a group of people. Wait until Avalon stabilizes, and then slowly liquidate them.
“I remember that the original vision of Lloyd’s was to control the royal family through marriage like Prince Lloyd, so as to establish a government system that is beneficial to businessmen.”
Shah Feiya's thinking was clear: "Compared to being a dog to the Star Antimony people, businessmen are definitely more willing to support Aiwass, who is also a businessman and will definitely become a prince. Therefore, the main body of Lloyd's will inevitably return to your side."
"In this case, as long as the influence of Noble Red on Lloyd's is removed, the financial owners can support Isabel again. Those knights must be forced to come back to Isabel's side. Those knights controlled by the Star Antimony people will also be exposed.
"Even if all these people are hanged, there will never be any resistance or fear in Avalon, and it can even further strengthen cohesion. Because they are essentially using other people's lives as bargaining chips to For their own benefit."
And Aiwass and Isabel are lovers who can trust each other, so as long as Aiwass becomes the prince, this also means that power returns to Isabel in disguise.
The more Shafiya thought about it, the brighter her eyes became. She became even happier when she saw Aiwass.
Aiwass just sighed silently and looked at Isabel.
Without a doubt.
Shafiya was controlled by Professor Moriarty before she knew it.
York lawyer once described Professor Moriarty as having "wisdom as sophisticated and invisible as spider silk", and Aiwass witnessed how he operated for the first time on the spot.
From vigilance, to trust, to hostility, to relaxation, to telling the truth, to getting along with each other. Professor Moriarty said almost nothing and did not use any extraordinary powers. With just a few words, he won Shafiya to his side.
Shafiya, who was originally anxious and nervous, was unknowingly injected with confidence and calmed her restlessness. She originally wanted to take Isabel and escape to the Theocracy, but now she no longer considers that kind of thing at all, and has even begun to think about "what will happen after the success of Shadow of Avalon."
Aiwass can also understand why she is like this.
Professor Moriarty induced her to develop a logic of "no loss no matter what" and created a sense of security that was fatally attractive.
This time Shafiya went to snatch the Queen's body. If the Shadow of Avalon ritual is successfully launched, Avalon will be directly reborn with blood; even if she fails and is killed, Isabel has the power of the Moriarty family. With support, there is still a chance of restoration; even if she is held back, with the protection of old Moriarty, Isabel will not be caught.
In short, it can make her "at ease".
After realizing this, Shafiya relaxed and completely stood by Professor Moriarty, even though she had not retrieved the body yet.
"I have an idea here, Ms. Shafia."
Aiwass suddenly spoke.
Even though he knew that if he spoke at this time, it would be equivalent to sending information to his adoptive father, Aiwass could only bite the bullet and intervene.
After all, he couldn't really watch Shafiya run back to die.
Hearing this, Shafiya and old Moriarty both looked at Aiwass.
And Aiwass said, "There is a high probability that there is a trap over the Queen's body. But the reason I want to stop you is not for this reason, but because I know that if you go back like this, you will 100% fail to get the Queen."
"The reason is simple. According to you, there is at least a fifth-level necromancer looking at the queen's body in the Palace of Silver and Tin. Once you reveal your intentions, the speed at which he will desecrate and contaminate the body will definitely be faster than the speed at which you can collect blood. "
"That's it. ”
Shafiya nodded reluctantly.
She actually knew in her heart that the chance of this matter was slim. Even rationally, she even believed that the queen’s body had been It was polluted, but there was nothing she could do about it.
How could they win back the founding families and drive out these extraordinary beings without resurrecting Lancelot I? They succeeded by luck and barely defeated these people, but the number of fifth-level transcendent beings left was still several times that of Avalon.
After all, after Meg died, Avalon. They lose the ability to fight back.
Moreover, if they don’t complete this ritual, wouldn’t those royal families who were cursed to death die in vain?
Now there is only one last step left.
“But, Ms. Shafiya. Don't forget."
Aiwass said, "Because they hope to replace Isabel, the Queen's funeral will inevitably be held normally after seven days. So if they don't realize that your target is the body, they won't immediately destroy the Queen's body. In other words, they will keep the remains there as traps and bait. "
"But as long as I try to fight for the body, there will be traces. "
Shafiya shook her head.
"So," Aiwass replied calmly, "Our real target is not the queen's body. Just let them think we want to fight for the body. This way their attention will be focused there.
"And we can complete the Shadow of Avalon ritual through other methods."
Hearing this, Shafiya was stunned for a moment.
Soon, her pupils narrowed slightly in surprise.
She realized the meaning behind Aiwass’ words.
How to activate the Shadow of Avalon ritual without taking blood from the Queen
Then there is only one way.
That is, the assassination of John Dulac.
The last royal member of Avalon besides Isabel. Aunt Isabel's posthumous baby was only two years old and was being nursed by a wet nurse in the side hall.
Shafiya glanced at Isabel subconsciously, and then looked at Aiwass with some fear.
What frightened her the most was that for a moment, she thought Aiwass's plan was the most correct and effective.
“As a minister who has sworn allegiance, you cannot take action against the royal family. Therefore, I will be the one to carry out all crimes, and you will be responsible for distracting them and helping me delay time.
“I don’t need to sneak in. I can accept Minister Drost’s invitation and walk in openly.
"If possible, I hope you can rescue Sherlock by the way. He is trapped somewhere in order to report a message to the Queen. If I can't come out, he can contact you on my behalf. "
Aiwass said word by word, "Let's take action immediately before I can catch up with Diomedes."
Ya's expression was a little complicated. "This matter has nothing to do with you."
Aiwass shook his head, "I will do anything for Isabel.
"I will eventually be regarded as a sinner. Witness the Shadow of Avalon ritual for yourself with the Murderer. I accept the judgment of His Majesty Lancelot calmly. And I was ready to die for it. As for that traitor, I hope you can leave it to me and I will execute him myself.
"No matter what, I want to kill him."
This is all true.
Aiwass was indeed prepared to die, otherwise he would not be able to deceive Shafiya.
It’s just that he was not “accepted by Lancelot’s trial”, but was killed by the impact of Shadow Sky Division’s arrival.
Shafiya finally realized the extremeness of Aiwass and couldn't help but take a breath.
No wonder Aiwass was able to reach the third level at such a young age.
As long as the purpose is purely altruistic, even if the cost is not "self-harm", it still falls within the principles of the path of dedication.
Coupled with the calmness and sacrifice of voluntarily bearing sins
This is the believer of the "God of Sins Bound by Thorns".
Absolutely crazy
Shafiya was speechless for a moment.
When Aiwass finished speaking, there was only silence in the living room.
"Aiwass"
Suddenly, Isabel grabbed Aiwass's arm tightly.
She was so forceful that it could even be said that she pinched Aiwass's flesh. Then, she grabbed Aiwass's face.
Isabel was extremely determined, but lowered her voice and said word for word, "No matter what you do, I am willing to believe that you are doing it for me."
"No matter what you do, I All will be with you.
"No matter how serious your sin is, I will bear it with you"
She stared into Aiwass's eyes, "So"
Aiwass was stunned for a moment.
Because he only saw pure seriousness and sincerity from the bottom of Isabel’s eyes.
He couldn't be sure whether Isabel was acting or taking the opportunity to tell the truth that she was usually shy and didn't dare to say.
"So, please feel free to do it."
The girl replied seriously.
She took off the silver necklace hanging around her neck, and stepped on her feet to hang it up for Aiwass carefully.
Shafiya looked at all this with a complicated expression.
She knew that it was a sacred necklace called "Isolde's Tears" with a drop-shaped emerald pendant.
It has the power to bring the wearer back to life, and is an extraordinary item used by Isabel to save her life. It is no exaggeration to say that it is priceless.
Since Isabel gave it to Aiwass, it means that she has acquiesced to Aiwass' plan.
"I don't think this is a sin. At most, it can only be called a necessary evil."
The old Moriarty on the side suddenly spoke at this moment.
He asked seriously and solemnly, "After all, isn't this the original sin of the Star Antimony people?"
"If their plan succeeds, Prince John will inevitably die in the end." Therefore, if we use Little John to resist the protection of the Star Antimony Man, we can only delay his death. Isn't it the Star Antimony people who put his life on the cliff in the first place?"
After saying that, he took a deep look at Aiwass and waved his hand to end the topic. "Aiwass Wald, you can go with Ms. Shafiya."
"There is nothing wrong with me." Shafiya temporarily put aside the entanglement in her heart and worried about Aiwass's safety. "I am more concerned about the safety of Aiwass. Worry about Aiwass. You might as well let Mr. Oswald follow Aiwass"
"I believe in my son. "
Old Moriarty said without hesitation, "He is by no means a pushy person. Since he didn't say he needed it, he didn't need it.
"Go quickly, Aiwass. It's still too late to catch up now."
Hearing this, Aiwass nodded calmly: "I'll clean up, this Just leave."
Aiwass's heart moved slightly.
Great, I finally tried it out.
The adoptive father tricked Shafiya into committing suicide just to test Aiwass's mission, and also to observe Isabel's attitude towards him through Aiwass.
And similarly
Aiwass would choose this utilitarian and ruthless to the point of cruelty, but extremely efficient and executable plan, also to test his adoptive father's understanding of "sacrifice" and "chess piece" attitude.
After all, it is not convenient for them to lie in front of Shafiya.
So as long as you speak, it will be at least one-sided truth.
Now, with the promotion ceremony as the stage and Shafiya as the mirror, the real Aiwass and the illusory old Moriarty look at each other.
Just like a person standing in the middle of a lake, staring down at his own reflection.
Aiwass finally got a glimpse of the reality behind his adoptive father's mask.
He hopes that Aiwass can become a person like him, so he said these words.
This shows that at least he does not regard Aiwass as a pure tool.
That's good.
It's just
"Premature death" is just a necessary evil
This is the basic concept that old Moriarty cannot hide. Similarly, this is probably his attitude towards Aiwass and others.
Got you.
Aiwass thought.
