Chapter 189: Ivus's Invitation
At first, it may have been only Iwass who wanted to come to Isabel, but the team grew bigger and bigger.
First Lily and David, then Yulia and Nobel – and then Master Janis.
Ai Huas was even a little worried, seeing so many people in one breath, would Isabel be afraid of committing it again.
And when he saw Isabel in person, he realized that he was overthinking.
Or rather, he underestimated the magnitude of the problem.
It was as if Isabel had been beaten back to her archetype—an autistic form that Ivas had never seen in person, and had only heard in the conversations of the other students.
She would respond to knocking on the door and let people in. But when she entered, she found that Isabel was huddled in the corner of the room, not greeting everyone and not smiling on her face.
She looked like she was so engrossed in her painting that she didn't have time to be distracted.
But Ivas could tell at a glance that Isabel wasn't drawing at all—she was just scribbling meaninglessly. She's just painting something she doesn't know and smearing it off with other paints.
It's not sadness, it's confusion and fear.
Eivas could see at a glance that Isabel was now in turmoil. Her brain even stopped.
Her Royal Highness the Princess is obviously not as optimistic and strong as she usually appears. She's just trying to make herself forget about her nightmare...... And now, with Prince Andrew being cursed and killed, the nightmare has returned.
It's like being harassed and assaulted a long time ago, with the intention of kidnapping or murdering...... Then moved to a far away. After many years, I thought I had forgotten and let go, only to suddenly meet that person again on a street corner - and realize that the other person saw me.
And Isabel went through far more pain than that.
She had seen and even experienced this random death ritual with her own eyes.
Queen Sophia just said that now the Shadow of Avalon ceremony is filled by one person, which means that counting this prince is exactly twenty people. Ivus didn't know if there had been murdered royal blood in it before, but at least a dozen relatives must have been in it—maybe even more.
Because family members like Isabel's mother, who are not of royal blood but still die from the curse, are not counted among the "twenty". Counting these completely innocent victims, the number is unimaginable.
The curse has not occurred in recent years, and the events that began were more than a decade ago. This means that there are usually about three deaths a year, and it seems to be completely random......
Under the constant sense of oppression and fear brought about by this random named death, no one in the royal family went crazy and killed people, and Ivas can only be said to be taught by Her Majesty the Queen, and the average moral level of the Durak family is relatively high.
"I'd like to talk to Isabel alone, okay?"
Ivas whispered, but looked at Janis.
Isabel's father is absent for many years, and Master Janis is her de facto guardian.
As a courtesy and respect, Janis also changed into a black light veil - even though she knew that Prince Andrew was not innocent, as a close friend and guest of the Queen, and also a master elven from the Church, her attitude towards the royal family was directly related to the attitude of other knights and ministers towards the royal family.
Hearing Aihuas's words, Janis was a little surprised.
According to her understanding of Ivus, she thought that Ivas would be surrounded by crowds and forced Isabel to participate in social interactions to change her brain.
Because it's the safest and most efficient way to do it. You can't go wrong.
It's impossible to say anything wrong – because you don't have to say anything at all, you can solve the problem directly, and you can let others testify to your close relationship with Isabel.
Based on her covert observations of Ivas during this time, he seems to like this off-the-counter method of "solving problems from the outside". The more he asked for a clear answer, the more ambiguous and vague he became.
Unlike the gentle, well-behaved, and calm people he seemed, Ivas didn't like to be dragged into other people's rhythms and do things according to other people's rules. He doesn't like to see the move-and-move defend with in-game means, but instead takes a step forward and sneaks up on the opponent before the fight even begins. After creating enough advantages, you will "play fair" with the other party.
Very cunning little fox, but she doesn't hate it.
But now, it seems that Ivas has changed a little...... That's a change that's visible to the naked eye.
The most obvious thing is that he dared to enter the game.
For his unfamiliar and unknown territory, he didn't dare to approach it at all...... Be cautious as if you were feeding your own stray cats. But now for the sake of Isabel, he dares to get involved.
He's actively trying to change.
"Humans are so nice."
Janis sighed softly and said with satisfaction: "Young people are the best of the best. ”
Dissatisfied with who you are and trying to change your ...... This is probably Ivus's transcendent heart, right?
She tried to analyze it with her own experience.
The biggest difference between humans and elves is that their psychology changes fast enough. Fall is only a moment, and enlightenment is also an instant. Just a few years can make a person go completely different from the past...... This is a situation in which elves will never appear.
Life in the Eternal Church is quiet and peaceful, like a static utopia.
People wake up at the standard time, work at the standard time, leave work at the standard time, and go to bed at the standard time every day.
The ritual process is fixed, there is no change in policy, and there is no increase or decrease in festivals. Work for decades will not change, and any hobby can last for decades or centuries.
Every day, with about the same but certainly enough money, I get married and have children. Day after day, I live a happy life without natural disasters, no disasters, and no accidents. From the birth of Yanis to the present, there has been no change in the church. If the standard of living of many people in Avalon is concerned, it may also be considered the kingdom of heaven.
But Janis didn't like that feeling. She couldn't stand the sense of tranquility that was everywhere in the air...... That would make her feel a throbbing. The desire to destroy it all...... She has an instinctive aversion and wariness of the power of the Way of Twilight.
But this is not the case with human world travel.
She has seen twelve coups d'état in certain countries in a month, generations of avengers taking revenge, and the dramatic drama of life caused by the chaotic blood ties between several families. Human time is very short, and because of this, the changes are visible to the naked eye.
It's like herself. She had only been away for a few decades, and by the time she returned to Avalon, Avalon was completely different from when she first arrived.
The lifespan of elves is only five times that of humans, but the human world changes ten times faster than the Cult?
And the essence of these changes comes from these young people. Everyone's change has the potential to change the world at some point in the future.
Janis focuses on observing this "change", and the drastic change of the world at a speed visible to the naked eye gives her a strong sense of satisfaction. That's the beauty she's looking for.
- Eivas is the "main character" she has chosen.
Janis nodded slightly, and obediently led the people out of the room.
But she didn't go far, and she didn't respond to the curious, doubtful, wary, or contemplative gazes.
She just stretched out her fingers and silently made a "shhh
Yulia's eyes lit up.
She immediately followed the flow and put her ear to her. Then Lily came over.
Janis moved out of the way and motioned for David to come and listen. But David saw that the two girls were almost blocking the door, and he hesitated for a moment and still did not come. Because if he came over again, he would definitely touch their bodies.
- Taking advantage of girls is not in line with the way of knighthood.
David said firmly in his heart.
Mr. Evas would never do that.
Janis nodded at the Nobel Master, and her pupils suddenly changed to the color of blue sky and white clouds—or rather, a painting she had drawn with a blue sky and white clouds in the background, which was now hanging in Isabel's bedroom. There are no windows, but the painting is like a window that brings fresh air.
As soon as her eyes fell into the room, her eyes lit up.
I saw Ivas leave his wheelchair and stand behind Isabel.
He stretched out his hands and put them on Isabel's shoulders.
Realizing that this was obviously impossible to do in a wheelchair, Isabel's pen paused for a moment to scribble the meaningless graffiti painting. Her mind subconsciously began to think about it.
Isabel even subconsciously wanted to ask Ivus - but the dullness and fear in her heart snuffed out the conversation and interest, and made her open her mouth, but she couldn't say anything.
"I know," Ivus whispered, "you've been listening to it all along......"
His voice was low and gentle.
It feels like the sun on an autumn afternoon, basking in it gives people a lazy fluffy feeling.
"But, don't worry. The curse is over. ”
Ivus whispered, "I swear to you......"
Her Majesty asked her to visit Isabel in order to get him to tell her this information.
Feeling a slight tremor over his shoulders touched by his fingertips, Ivas paused slightly before continuing:
"—you're safe."
"Did you solve it, Mr. Fox?"
Isabel's voice trembled slightly.
If Ivas had confessed, he was sure that the Queen and the Great Guardian would not have pointed out their lies.
But he refused anyway.
"I guess, probably not."
Ivus lowered his eyes and whispered.
Because that kind of means are too despicable - taking merit and fabricating merit is the act of an incompetent person.
In fact, Ivus didn't know why Prince Andrew died suddenly...... In the order in the game, he should have more than a year to live.
But it doesn't matter.
It didn't matter who the curse was - he wasn't Sherlock.
What's more, he also has the help of "Miss Aleister", so he doesn't have to talk about so much evidence to do things.
Just beat them all up.
Whether it's the noble red or the Hawkeyed Assassin. Or the corrupt knights and officials, or the renegade merchants of Lloyd's......
Anyway, everyone knows that Miss Aleister kills people without blinking.
If all the insecurity is resolved, Isabel will be safe.
Rather than comforting her, comforting her, encouraging her, and distracting her...... It's better to directly solve the problem at its root.
Of course, there is a better way for Ivus......
"So, Miss Lulu," Evas's voice was calm and secure, "if you've slept enough, it's time to wake up from your nightmare.
"As a wake-up exercise...... How about I accompany you to kill? ”
Ivas invited with a smile.
Pulling Isabel along to take out those who tried to work against her would both help her grow and soothe her spirits. The only problem is that the person who said this sentence may not match the character of Mr. "Fox".
But fortunately, Isabel didn't take it seriously.
But Ivus also knew that she probably wouldn't take it seriously.
Isabel just thought that Ivas was joking, and suddenly she couldn't hold back: "Then you don't have to ......
"Forget it...... I'll show you, Iwas. I can't tell......"
"What?" Ivus asked curiously.
"Diary."
Isabel replied, "Or rather, a suicide note." ”
“…… Yours? ”
"It's not! It's mine...... Left by relatives. ”
Isabel first argued a little louder, and then sighed: "You will know after reading it, why am I so sad and so afraid......
