Chapter 183: There Are Two Left
Time has passed in a blink of an eye, and it is Sunday.
Ivas is still at the Great Guardian's house, but he'll be back to school tomorrow morning or tonight.
I've finished reading the few books I borrowed before. And there is still a week left before the next advanced ceremony.
He was now going to read some occult books on the devotion path to make up for his priesthood.
Although Yulia's body has regained her health, Eivus is also missing a person to practice her hands. But fortunately, in the past few days, he has been at the Great Guardian's house, and he can also brush up on his proficiency in illumination.
After Ivas stayed, David and Emily's training suddenly increased in intensity.
Under the rapid attack of their respective parents, their posture can be called embarrassing.
But because of this, their strength has also grown rapidly. After all, George and his griffon Philip are both at the strength level of the fifth level, while his wife and her griffon are both at the fourth level.
That is to say, David and Emily were mixed doubles by a powerhouse of the fourth and fifth energy levels, respectively -
Although he was beaten badly, this kind of feeding trick is what ordinary people dream of but can't do.
Fortunately, the foundation of each of them and the griffin is very strong, so they can quickly absorb enough experience. In just two days, it is worth the past half a month.
It's not that the Great Guardian can't afford a priest.
I don't train this way because it's not necessary - if normal training is so painful, David and Emily will inevitably resist it, and then it will be less effective. Maybe you will also get angry with the priest who comes to treat you.
David even ran away from school, and so did the training, which was more painful than studying. He didn't run away now, in large part because he had a crush on Ivus, so he didn't want to show his shortcomings in front of this mild-mannered, knowledgeable older brother.
Eivas was a guest after all, and he would be leaving soon.
Because of this, the Great Guardian has an excuse for David to surprise train - after all, Ivas is going back to class on Monday, which is a rare opportunity.
David certainly couldn't refuse. So even though he was very resistant to training, he had to obediently pick up a sword and gun and train for six hours a day.
And Aihuas's treatment technique also surprised the Great Guardian a little.
Many pastors who have graduated from seminary for two or three years do not have the skillful and steady healing abilities of Ivas. He even noticed that Ewass was able to treat with both handsβnot just with a bad hand, but with one left and one right hand at the same time, to treat David and Emily at the same time.
- No wonder Meg would want to give Ivas a spot.
The Great Guardian thought to himself.
This time, the Sect was willing to teach human beings high divine arts, and only nine places were given in total. There are three in the school, and six more are chosen from the bishops after graduation.
These six bishops were filled by six clergy councilors. When Meg heard this, she asked for one for Ewas. In fact, there are only two places left.
At the time, the Great Guardian also believed that this was because of the close relationship between Ivas and Princess Isabel.
Only a few people know that Meg's favorite among the royals of this generation is Isabel. Because she has a bold personality, she likes a neat and neat style of doing things, and she doesn't like to pull with people. So many people think that she is supporting Prince Andrew.
But it was only when these fifth-level transcendents gathered in private that Meg hated him.
β because he's too arrogant.
Andrew is indeed very strong.
He is in his early Chinese New Year's Eve, and he has reached the fourth energy level and has a complete soul. There is no impulse to interfere with the rest of the path. Visually at the age of thirty-five, he had a chance to enter the fifth energy level, and he was able to fail two or three times.
In addition, he received a double degree in law and philosophy from the University of Law. As early as five or six years ago, he began to interfere in politics and even formed his own "Andrew's Club". It has recruited many young talents, contacts he has made since his college days, and they have become an indispensable backbone of Avalon.
He doesn't have any bad habits. Neither lustful nor alcoholic, and can even be called strict self-discipline.
And Andrew has a straightforward personality, straightforward and tough attitude. It can also be said to be fair when dealing with disputes...... Although it's a little bit unhelpful, it's generally the type that the Great Guardian likes very much.
But Meg didn't like him.
If you want to say why, the old lady replied:
"Because he felt that he could inherit the throne when he was far from being the first heir. And even if the royal family suffers this level of curse, he has no intention of getting married and having children to continue the bloodline...... It's as if he believed he wouldn't be cursed. This kind of self-confidence for no reason is annoying. β
She actually said it quite tactfully.
To put it more explicitly, Meg suspects that Andrew may have something to do with the curse.
There is no evidence for this. But her instinct was to sense the vigilance.
The intuition of the advanced transcendents gives advice that is worth paying attention to.
It is precisely because of this that the Great Justice and the Great Guardian will take a little step back and not stand too close to Prince Andrew.
The old lady's mouth is very poisonous. As for Isabel, who is also not cursed, her assessment is: "Because she is so useless that she is safe enough." β
Because Avalon lacked high-level transcendental beings, they were never sure where the curse came from. It's not even possible to determine if it's a curse or a poison. And the Round Table is happy to hear about it, and obviously won't do anything for the royal family - they are controlled by the oath of loyalty, and there are fewer and fewer people who can control them, which is certainly a good thing.
But at least one thing is certain, and that is that this brutal killing of the royal family must have come from outside. When it comes to border disputes, it's star antimony or iris.
And from the point of view of the Star Antimony and the Iris, the most suitable successor is Isabel.
She has a weak personality and is willing to listen to opinions, and she is a student of Master Janis, at least Avalon will not collapse directly from within. In this way, the situation in Avalon can be stabilized and it will be easier to accept various trade agreements from Star Antimony and Iris.
But she's not authoritarian at the same time, so the core bond of Avalon's power control will be broken.
And she lacks self-confidence and at the same time lacks aggression. The most important thing is that she is kind enough - which means that there is no need to worry about Avalon taking the initiative to invade others after he recovers.
The greatest strength of the Griffin Legion is his mobility.
If it were a defensive battle, the griffon would be far less of a threat.
- This is why the Great Guardians have never worried that the curse will lead to the extinction of the royal family.
Because if the royal family is gone, Avalon will be in chaos, warlords will be divided - and in the end, whoever regains the throne will be an uncontrollable variable. It is even entirely possible to make the decaying Avalon shed its shell and be reborn...... And that's what they don't want to see.
At the same time, both Star Antimony and Iris are mired in civil strife.
It is also impossible for them to take Avalon...... That meant sending a large number of officials out of the country to administer the colony. This could lead to new problems in the precarious balance of power, and may even lead to the forces below moving directly to Avalon to escape the war and then regain their status by sucking blood.
If it had been according to the previous Avalon, I am afraid that it would have been involved in the war a long time ago.
But since Prince Lloyd, the position of the Avalon royal family has begun to weaken. Now, two hundred years later, Avalon's economy, minerals and light industry are developing quite well. But on the other hand, the knight's power is constantly weakening.
By their generation, there were only a handful of fifth-level transcendents who were clearly loyal to the royal family.
In the first two hundred years of Avalon's founding, that number more than tripled. At its peak, it was twenty-eight.
In a world where the top powers can directly influence the course of war, a decrease in the number of strong men represents a weakening of national strength. The territory of the Church is less than one-sixth of Avalon's, but there are at least fifty fifth-level powerhouses, as well as the world's strongest and only sixth-level transcendent.
It is precisely because of this that the Eternal Church has the confidence to be permanently neutral and take the initiative to mediate in the wars of other countries and maintain peace.
It is precisely because of the intervention of the Church that it is impossible for the other side to launch a war of extermination or a war of aggression that is too intense. From the point of view of unleashing the forces of the curse, their goal is to put the weakest heir in the hands of Avalon's undefensible sword.
β that is, Isabel.
So as long as Isabel doesn't change her personality, nothing will happen to her. Avalon will not be extinct.
That's why Janis was willing to take her as a student. It is also the reason why Avalon has remained silent about this.
Because the real heir is not Andrew at all - there is only one successor chosen by the queen, and that is Isabel.
Because of this, the status of Ehuas, who was close to her, was also promoted.
If Isabel succeeds to the throne, then this Moriarty will be the prince who assists her. Unlike Isabel, the young man looks smiling, but in fact he is cunning, evil-minded, and good at playing with people's hearts.
Removing the problem of being too preoccupied, he is the best candidate for the prince.
And Isabel was the Queen's favorite child, and the only one who inherited the Queen's enlightened thoughts. They looked at Isabel like they looked at Princess Sophia from her girlhood.
The only difference is that Sophia was much more confident and naughty than Isabel back then.
Self-confidence can be cultivated, and competence can be delegated to others. But character and morality are difficult to change.
This is also the reason why the Great Guardian has a good attitude towards Ivus, and even takes the initiative to introduce David to him; At the same time, it is also the reason why no one doubts the excuse given by Eivas.
It's not just because Iwass is good enough, but because they don't have a choice.
Isabel likes him, what can they do?
At most, Ihuas was asked not to be too distracted......
"Your Excellency the Great Guardian......"
But at this moment, George's butler handed him a letter with an anxious face.
β¦β¦ What's wrong?
The Great Guardian said in his heart.
But he didn't say anything, just opened the envelope in silence.
After he saw it, his face suddenly changed slightly.
He immediately walked quickly to the courtyard and interrupted Philip's sparring with Emily.
"Ivus, something happened."
ββ¦β¦ Is it something I need to be known about? β
Ivus tilted his head in confusion.
"Indeed."
George replied briefly: "The royal curse that has not been activated for a long time has returned. β
ββ¦β¦ Who?! β
Washton's face changed, and his voice became a little louder.
His heart tightened - should he let Isabel have an accident after changing history?!
Fortunately, it was another one who died-
"It's Prince Andrew."
The Great Guardian said, "But I still think you'd better go to the Temple of Silver and Tin. β
ββ¦β¦ Something so big has happened, is it appropriate for me to go now? β
Ivus hesitated.
"You've got to go."
The Great Guardian just shook his head: "Princess Isabel is scared...... But Her Majesty is very busy right now. β
Hearing this, Ivas understood.
He relaxed slightly, nodded slightly, and did not refrain from refusing.
"Okay."
He replied in a deep voice, "Leave it to me." β
After thinking about it, let's finish writing first and then go to dinner!
