Chapter 185: Counterattack Ritual: Shadow of Avalon

…… The silver-crowned dragon mentioned me?

What good thing could that be?!

He still remembers.

The first time he was looked at by the Silver Crowned Dragon was because he swore that he would not use his own clan as a ritual material...... That's because of the inducement of old Moriarty. After all, the devil only knows that this level of restraint of the "simple oath" can summon the silver crown dragon high above.

Thinking of this, Ivus suddenly chuckled in his heart.

- Isn't it possible, the silver-crowned dragon thinks I know about the sins of the heavens?

That's none of my business, that's totally Daddy James' problem!

Washton was in a weak heart: "Your Majesty...... What do you say about me? ”

The silver-crowned dragon is the pillar god of the authoritarian path and the god of kings. Therefore, it is also okay to call the other person His Majesty directly.

And Her Majesty's words made Evas's heart stop for a moment: "He said that you were a natural transcendent, and it reminded him of his younger self." ”

- I'm super!

At that moment, Ivus realized that he might have fallen off his horse.

For the Silver Crowned Dragon to praise himself, it was most likely because his performance in the advanced copy of the transcendent ritual was seen by him. This Ivus was not surprised, after all, it was a ceremony presided over by the Apostle of the Silver Crowned Dragon, Gawain...... It was normal for him to say a few words to the silver-crowned dragon afterwards, and Evas behaved.

But Ivus never expected that the mouth of the silver-crowned dragon would be so broken—how could the Nine Pillars God still talk to humans?

Si Candle's temper is good enough, and I've never heard of Si Candle talking to someone about this kind of thing?

Since the Silver Crowned Dragon can mention such a thing, then at least Her Majesty probably knows that he is a parallel to the path of dedication and transcendence.

Then the lie of "Alessel" she sown can be easily seen through by her.

After all, Ivas chose this code name at that time to commemorate his past.

"Aleister" is a variant of "Alexander". Just change a few of the letters and pronounce them in other languages.

Because Aleister and Alexander are written in completely different ways in the iris language, Ivas is not worried that any iris person will find out his identity. After all, he had seen his biological father's face during the ceremony, which was seven or eight points similar to himself. If someone knew him, they might be able to recognize Ewass's origins at a glance.

- To put it simply, it's like a stalk like "catching shrimp households". The more irises the people, the more they don't understand what Ivas is playing - but the Avalons probably do.

And since Her Majesty knows that Ivus is also an adaptor who transcends the path, she may know that the Shadow Demon is his contract demon. Then she will naturally be able to see through who "Aleister" really is.

But the good news is that my vest has fallen off, and it hasn't completely fallen off-

Because the silver-crowned dragon praised himself, in other words, he was recognized by the big boss.

At the very least, his transcendence is now legitimate. The queen can say this kind of thing to him bluntly at such a moment, that is, to imply that she will not trouble him.

Before, Aihuas was also worried about whether he would meet the court ceremonial master when he came to the Palace of Silver and Tin.

Although he had never seen ...... But the court ceremonists raised by Avalon, no matter what you think, at least have to have a third level, right? At least once you get closer, it's easy to see through your identity.

The good news now is that Ivas won't be dragged out and hanged for revealing his identity as a demon scholar.

The bad news is that the big guardian next to him is already looking at him thoughtfully.

- Grandma, take it easy! George and David are still listening!

…… Or are you just saying this to George?

Fortunately, the Great Guardian interjected at this time, diverting the topic that Ivas couldn't pick up at all: "What will I do after that, Your Majesty?" Is it still the same as before? ”

Same as before?

Evas, who was silent and silent, moved in his heart and noticed the words of the Great Guardian.

"Well, that's enough."

Her Majesty nodded: "Whether Albert can live or not...... Big deal, counting myself, I'm dying anyway. ”

What is this talking about?

Ivas was puzzled, but didn't dare ask. It can only be analyzed that this may have something to do with the sacrificial ritual......

Fortunately, at this time, David said in confusion: "Dad, Your Majesty...... What are you talking about? ”

- Good boy, you also have a heart for transcendence!

Ivas praised David in his heart.

This kind of topic is top secret when I hear it, and I don't dare to ask it. How dare you ask directly to your face!

I'm going to praise you when Miss Aleister meets again!

But Ivas also realized that the queen was not sad and did not seem to have anything to do with her habits...... There are other reasons.

Because Her Majesty looked at David, but the corners of her mouth rose slightly. He seemed pleased to have asked the question.

And the Great Guardian did not scold David, but just bowed his head and asked, "Can you tell these children, Your Majesty Sophia?" ”

"These are the pillars of the future Avalon," said the queen with a chuckle, "and tell them these secrets." The curse should be over anyway. ”

Ivus was stunned.

The point is, she's right......

Her Majesty actually guessed?

This is information that Ivas has never been exposed to in the game.

It doesn't matter if Ivus doesn't watch the plot, because the players who watch the plot don't know what this curse is.

Ivas only knew that the last person to die in a curse was the current Prince Andrew. No one has died since then.

It stands to reason that after the death of the Queen, the throne should be inherited by Isabel's father, Prince Albert. He is the first heir.

But alas, he's an iron waste – at least in terms of royal status. But he's also a good guy.

In the game's episode, the queen is assassinated...... When he heard that he might want to inherit the throne, he fled secretly.

Of course, it may not be very accurate to say that you have escaped.

Specifically, he went on a tour of the mountains and rivers.

Like Isabel, Prince Albert lacks the adaptability of an authoritarian path. Therefore, although he is almost fifty years old this year, he only has the power of the second energy level.

He was not interested in the throne at all. He prefers to carry his special guitar on his back and travel around the country like a bard.

He was a pretty good luthier, reshaping the shape and sound of the guitar. This is his proud work.

He renounced his right to the throne long ago.

However, according to the plot line in the game, after the death of Prince Andrew, there are only three heirs left in the royal family:

Prince Albert of the two-level authoritarian path and the third-level wisdom path; The path of third-level beauty, Princess Isabel, who has a cowardly and autistic personality; Prince John, who is less than three years old.

- Obviously, even if Albert explicitly renounced the inheritance, it didn't count if he said it at this time.

So he ran away. He used a spell to change his appearance, assumed the name of the bard "Yunus", and traveled around the country to help the poor and poor with tips and performance fees. After the fall of Avalon, he also traveled to the Church. Whenever Isabel met him when he was on the team, he spoke in an exaggerated voice, as if he was singing—and he was still a very popular and funny character at the time.

It wasn't until a later side plot that players learned that "Yunus" was Prince Albert. He wanted to rescue Isabel who was in danger, but because he was too vegetable, he brought more trouble - it was already a 2.0 plot at that time, Isabel was almost level 40, and Yunus was not yet level 30.

After finally solving the mission, he told the truth.

It was only after he had run away that he realized that he was not doing something right. But he didn't dare to go back, so he could only do his best to do some good deeds and help others to make up for the guilt of escaping responsibility. And when Avalon was restored, the popular prestige he accumulated also played a big role.

Because of this, Eivers did not consider the possibility of Albert's succession at all.

- When he knew that Andrew was dead, he immediately knew that Isabel was going to be the next queen. So at that time, Aihuas was actually quite happy in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it in front of the Great Guardian.

"It's not complicated."

The Great Guardian said to the two young men, "You should know that the twenty ancestors of the Founders family are now the apostles of the Silver Crowned Dragon, right?" ”

Ivas and David nodded.

This is common knowledge to them.

"However, His Majesty Lancelot, who is also the founder of the country, has not actually ascended to the dream realm to become an apostle of the silver-crowned dragon."

At this moment, the words of the Great Guardian made Ivus suddenly startled: "He is actually still alive, because he has never been able to give up everything in the material world. The body is kept in the Chapel of St. Genevele, while the soul is exercised in the Land of Shadows...... It's a kind of illusion. Occasionally, you can also meet other colleagues who have become apostles in the dream world.

"With the blood of twenty-one Durak, who died in murder, the ancestors can be resurrected. He will once again descend into his own body, wielding the holy sword Arondaite, awakened by blood and unsealed—he will be Avalon's invincible blade. If anyone thinks that we Avalon are weak at this time, or choose to betray Avalon at this time...... Then they will meet a surprise.

"In fact, we really don't know who the Cursed is...... Because our ritual master had sealed all possibilities of contactless curses three years ago, leaving the other party to only use the catalyst curse. And in order to kill a person in an instant and make it impossible for us to rescue us, a large number of catalysts must be used to arrange a long-term ritual. From that point on, we pretty much knew what the problem was. ”

Cursed catalysts – that is, blood, hair, nails, intimate clothing, and the like.

"Because in the case of deliberate destruction, the people who can still get a large number of catalysts for the royal family for a long time are very likely to be other royal family members. That's why the royal family never conducts an in-depth investigation. Because it is true that people have been poisoned......"

The Great Guardian was meaningful: "Suppose the purpose of the Cursed is to exterminate the royal family of Avalon, or simply to succeed Princess Isabelle. Then he should be able to go from easy to difficult. It is impossible to skip the easy ones and use poison to preempt the ones who are not easy to curse - Prince Cornet, for example, who shaved his head to prevent the curse, so he was poisoned.

Meg had always been stubborn in her belief that that man might be Prince Andrew - in fact, she also had no evidence, just a gut feeling that something was wrong with him. And we all have our own skeptics...... For example, I used to be suspicious of Prince Albert. But now it seems that Meg guessed correctly. ”

"After all, Andrew died of a burst heart......"

Her Majesty sighed: "I don't want it to be him either." But it seems that there is no other possibility. ”

Evas also reacted suddenly...... A burst heart, a symptom of a curse.

This curse requires fingertip blood, and it must also be the blood of the middle fingers of both hands.

Generally speaking, this is very difficult to obtain. It is generally used to punish the person who breaks the contract in the terms of the contract, and the curse is branded into the contract when the fingerprint is pressed.

That's probably why people aren't so sad about it...... The reason why some people become serious and some people become lighthearted.

After all, everyone knows that no matter who inherits the throne of the remaining three, there is not much difference.

The cause of Prince Andrew's death is basically proof that the cursed stabbed collaborators in the back and completely erased the evidence.

Ivus also understood why the quest line for tracking down the curse in the game was closed after Prince Andrew's death; Until the queen was assassinated at the banquet a year later, there was no further investigation of the curse, and the matter was directly closed.

It turned out that the upper echelons of Avalon actually knew that the curse was over...... It is difficult to get reliable evidence if you want to track it down. Since the other party has cursed Andrew, then he should have probably retreated.

"If it is not broken, it will not stand."

The queen whispered, "Avalon's path is too one-dimensional, and I'm trying my best to change it. But it was still too late...... I think they did it at this point because I chose to change.

"More than twenty years later...... No, it would take a dozen years at most for Avalon's ritual and curse techniques to recover. They realized that if they didn't do it again, it would be too late. That's why they took action at this time and chose the most brutal means to weaken Avalon. ”

Her expression was serious and serious: "But the blood of Durak will not be shed in vain. We are the descendants of dragon slayers...... If you want to destroy us, you have to bear our wrath.

"Before that, there were only three people who knew about this matter besides me. I'll tell Meg and Arius about it later...... Both of them were of civilian origin, and they didn't know about the ritual 'Shadow of Avalon'. ”

It was at this time that Ivas became truly aware...... This kind-looking old lady was indeed a rational and ruthless monarch.

For the sake of Avalon's future possibilities, she was able to endure the royal family being cursed one by one.

In order to lure out the internal rebels, in order to reborn Avalon......

Reminiscent of the previous connection between the Silver Crowned Dragon and Her Majesty the Queen.

…… Could it be that the demise of Avalon was the plan of the Silver Crowned Dragon?

Fake your death, right?

But in that case, there would be no need for the queen to be assassinated...... Was she really assassinated? But who would have known that the queen was the final step of the ceremony......

And, speaking of which.

The Shadow of Avalon seems to be the version that was opened as a sacrifice by Isabel's younger brother......

Ivus was startled and remembered something else.

- He can't let the Queen complete the "Shadow of Avalon" ceremony at this time!

Because this ritual went wrong, it wasn't Lancelot who came at all, but Skaha, the queen of the Shadow Country!
