In the evening, the temple of silver and tin.

It was supposed to be dinner time, but Avalon's highest-ranking people gathered in the tea room, seriously discussing something.

Except for the Grand Judge Arius, everyone else gathered here.

"The results of the previous on-site investigation are in."

The Great Guardian looked at the report in his hand and said in a deep voice, "Confirm that there are traces of shadows...... Shadow Fiend indeed.

"However, the door to the chamber was never opened. And in the secret room, the remnants of the path of love were also detected. Arius and I went to check it out for ourselves, and the type was flesh magic. ”

"—that's Transfiguration, witchcraft. It makes sense that Shadow Fiends can infiltrate them, and so can Witches...... If I'm not mistaken, the way they get in and out is probably through the ventilation ducts. ”

This time, it was a young woman who looked to be in her early thirties.

She has long, pale blonde curly hair and dark blue pupils. With fair skin, a plump body, and slightly pointed ears, his appearance gives people a noble and awe-inspiring feeling.

She is Shafiya, the Grand Inquisitor of Avalon's generation, the highest leader of the Inspectorate. He is also a half-elf.

Because she is half elven, Shafiya looks younger than her real age. In fact, she's a lot older than the Great Guardian.

Even in front of Her Majesty, she sat in a less dignified manner.

She leaned back on the soft sofa with her legs crossed, leaning back on the soft sofa, and said lazily, "I was right, right?" The ventilation duct is placed in the secret room, which must be unsafe.

"Even if the prisoner is sealed and can't escape, you can't rule out that someone will come in through the ventilation duct - take a step back, even if people don't come in, it's possible to just put poison gas in and extinguish the mouth, right?"

"It really has to be rebuilt."

Queen Sophia nodded and admitted, "The previous dungeon chamber is too old. I think maybe the location has been figured out...... You can then ask Isabel to rebuild a new secret prison. It's not something that can be done in a few months, so I don't care. ”

With that, she clinked glasses with Meg beside her.

Her glass was red wine, and Meg's was at least three times larger—and it was filled with bitter stouts.

Meg took half a sip and burped in relief.

The oldest-looking old lady pinched it with her hand and ate the fried cod with dipping sauce. While chewing, he casually asked, "Don't you drink, Shafiya?" This time, the peppercorn beer is very fresh. ”

"No, I'm pregnant."

The Grand Inquisitor refused, "Let's wait until the child is born." ”

"Pregnant again? It's not enough to be born. ”

Meg laughed: "Do you want your child to get drunk with milk?" ”

"Tsk," the half-elf lady smacked her lips and said angrily, "Long-winded." ”

"Okay, okay, I'll wait until you're breastfeeding. Let's come out and celebrate together. ”

Meg smiled and said, "If Sophia and I don't die by then." ”

"Then you have to live longer, don't drink too much...... Take it easy. ”

The Grand Inquisitor glanced at the two old ladies who were still drinking when they were dying: "I still want to find a good godmother for my children." ”

Compared to the three casual guys here, the Great Guardian looks too serious.

But he was clearly used to the relaxed atmosphere.

Therefore, he completely ignored the two of them, and only waited for them to stop talking, and then read to himself: "Traces of flesh magic, not long before the Inspectorate was attacked. We can suspect that it was someone who had reached a cooperation agreement with Minister Droist before sending the members of the Noble Red Society, who had been on standby for a long time, to launch a raid.

"I even suspect that one of the reasons why the prince was suddenly cursed was to create an opportunity to free Minister Drost."

"When it comes to the path of love, it's irises."

Shafia still catered a little to Mr. Big Guardian, so that he would not be alone and talking: "But rescuing captured spies, this is not the style of the Iris Man. ”

"Definitely. If it was an Iris, they would have sent an assassin to assassinate him...... Just like his secretary. ”

Meg nodded, too, "That should be the Star Antimony - where did they go to find a 'witch'?" ”

"It's not surprising. The path of love is under a lot of pressure inside the irises. On the one hand, they will face assassination by the Assassins, and on the other hand, their bodies may be stolen and transformed into the Children of the Moon after death. It is also normal for persecuted witches to flee to Star Antimony. ”

The Great Guardian said solemnly, "But if you say so...... I think the young lady, codenamed 'Aleister', is most likely innocent. ”

A demon possessed by a shadow demon is an innocent person?

There was a brief silence in the tea room.

Afterwards, Her Majesty asked graciously, "What do you think, don't you?" ”

"That's right. In the case of the 'disappearance' of the president of Lloyd's, we learned of the existence of Aleiste. However, it soon became clear that Inspector Gordon's information was inaccurate - Aleister was not male and was born in a different region than he said. So I wondered, is it possible that he is also not a member of the Noble Red?

"We have a preconceived notion that Aleister was born in the noble red. So when he left that ring, we thought it was a provocation from the Noble Red—they had the ability to silently dissolve people into the Chamber of Secrets.

"And to test this suspicion, I put Minister Drost in the same secret room."

The Great Guardian said in a deep voice.

Shafiya asked rhetorically, "So what?" Didn't she come too? ”

"But the noble red also came. If their purpose was to rescue Drost, they didn't have to send Aleister to assassinate at all, because it could only be a mission from Star Antimony, and even if the rescue failed, it would be impossible to kill it himself; On the other hand, if they were going to assassinate Drost, there was no need to send so many people to the rescue.

"That's how I judged that Miss Aleister wasn't a member of the Noble Red—she was even fighting against the Noble Red. The ring was left behind to draw our attention to the noble red. ”

The Great Guardian calmly analyzed.

Meg was also interested: "Then how did she get the ring?" You mean, she killed a member of the Noble Red and then snatched his ring and replaced it? ”

"Don't bother."

The Great Guardian replied.

He looked at Shafia, "I checked and found that Inspector General Edward had modified the case records before. In the Pelican Bar incident, a 'noble red' ring that should have been found at the scene was missing. And that scene, only Inspector Haina and Ivas should have been there. ”

"Do you suspect it's Hayna, or Ivus?"

Meg's brow furrowed, and her tone became a little unhappy: "We're going to talk about the evidence." ”

The Great Guardian immediately explained, "I mean...... I suspect that the true identity of Miss Aleister is actually Lily, Evas's personal maid.

"Her original surname was Lily Drost. I have investigated her origins in the past few days, and found that she was the illegitimate daughter of Drost, and that her mother had been assassinated by Lloyd's - most likely an assassin invited by Drost.

In other words, she happened to have a grudge against Lloyd's and Minister Drost. And I checked the tantric book she took from the Inspectorate, and that book was "The Spider Silk Tantra", which came from the path of adaptation. Miss Aleister, on the other hand, appeared after Iris, the shadow-stealthy assassin, suddenly disappeared...... The Assassin was also apparently an extraordinary being who had adapted to the path.

"Is there a possibility that the Assassin secretly attempted to assassinate Ivus, but was counterkilled by Ivus and Lily. Lily then received shadow powers from her—such as tantric books, or otherworldly objects.

"That would explain why Miss Aleister was in Ivus's dormitory. Because Aleister is Lily. ”

The Great Guardian analyzed it carefully.

Meg was a little impatient: "Then you are going to arrest Lily?" Don't forget, there's another possibility that Aleister is the Assassin! Could it be that she was fascinated by Ivus's beauty and chose to abandon her mission and serve him instead? ”

"Then I'm afraid Ihuas has to trap a demon or a succubus, and humans can't do that. This is already in the realm of mind control. ”

The Great Guardian complained, "And I've seen more direct evidence...... As I left the Inspectorate, I could clearly see Lily's shadow shaking. It's light, but it's there. When they lived in my house, sometimes Lily's shadow would shake a little.

"Not to mention, she disappeared for a while...... When she returned, the Minister Drost in the basement was dead. It can be said that she almost completely did not hide her identity. And the first time Aleister appeared, she also happened to be near the Inspectorate.

"—Of course, I didn't mean to arrest Miss Lily. Because if Aleister is really Lily, it means that she is not doing evil and is completely controllable.

"So, is there a possibility ......"

Speaking of this, the blonde man clasped his hands on his chest and said in a deep voice: "If there is no problem with the other party's morality." Can we use the name of the royal family to hire 'Miss Aleister' as our agent?

"It's always the ones who come to dig us up with antimony and irises...... It's time for us to dig up their people. ”

"Interesting."

Meg laughed when she heard this, and said happily, "Then let me go—let me have a good talk with their master and servant." ”

"When?"

Shafiya asked.

Meg replied, "It's too late today, let's be tomorrow." Tomorrow Monday, he has to go back to school. When he gets out of school, I'll go look for him in his dormitory.

"As a dean, it's reasonable for me to talk to my students, right?"

"Then you can protect Ivus, Meg. Don't rush to leave at night, hide in the shadows to protect Ehuas. ”

Queen Sophia thought for a moment and gave an order: "I think that the noble red has some kind of obsession with Ehuas. This may have something to do with Ivus's origins...... They may make a comeback. The place where he must have crouched down to Ivus without attracting the attention of others was his dormitory building. ”

"Why don't I go too?"

The Great Guardian was a little worried: "They may be able to send a truly strong man this time. ”

"What, do you kid look down on me?"

Meg glared.

Frightened, the big guardian hurriedly apologized: "No, I didn't mean that......"

"I'm not going, I'm going to raise the baby."

Shafiya yawned, a little regretful: "Otherwise, I would like to come and join in the fun." ”

"Call Arius?"

"The dead old man may not be free," replied Meg, "it is better to call Master Janis, for her peeping powers are very good." ”

"Okay."

The queen nodded happily: "Then I'll go talk to Janis." ”

The second chapter is about two o'clock~
