Chapter 264: The Griffon Minister of Avalon

After dealing with the ceremonial grounds, Ivas had Sherlock himself returned to the Bishop's house first.

Sherlock was still a little resistant to this—he wanted to hide it from anyone who knew him about his small size. Anyway, when he is promoted again, he will change back again.

This directly made Sherlock, who originally had no desire for promotion, suddenly feel energetic.

However, he was persuaded by Ivus's words, "Don't you want to go back and catch up on sleep?" There are still some unwilling choices to obey their bodies.

- One thing to say, it's a bit sleepy indeed.

After all, he had only endured the curse of his retardation the night before, and tried his best to learn two subjects that he was not good at. And after he had almost mastered the devouring of dates, his body was recast by the ritual of Ivus.

Sherlock, who had not eaten or drunk much water all night, had returned to his adolescent body of thirteen or fourteen, put on uncomfortable clothes, brushed the walls with his neck for an hour, and moved the dead cow out with Evas—the last job almost exhausted him.

“…… Do you have to pull me up while you're working!? Or maybe I can't help at all, and you did it all by yourself in the end, right? Sherlock couldn't help but say.

"That's right, but I want to run away alone."

Ivas smiled: "There is work to do together, this is a good brother!" ”

So after forcibly dragging Sherlock to finish the work, Ivas used a "ritual fire" and went to help Haina deal with the griffin with great energy.

Sherlock has no ability to regain his strength. And after the "Mentally Handicapped Curse" failed for a while because of the ritual, he vaguely felt that his head was starting to hurt again.

But it's still better than before. Now it is about the level of normal migraine, and this level of pain often occurred when he stayed up late at work before, and it is still bearable.

Although he hadn't advanced yet, Sherlock's body was now much stronger than before—if he had been dragged through so much physical work before he completed the initiation ceremony, he would have collapsed on the ground by now.

Sherlock also suddenly understood what it means to have work together, you just want to try and see how well your ritual works!

You don't know what the effect of this ritual is!

When Evas finished his observations, Sherlock felt cold, sleepy, hungry, and tired, and finally swallowed his previous promise that "I would not tell anyone about this", and ran back to the bishop's house.

"It's coming—"

Lady Mina, who had just woken up, came to open the door when she heard the doorbell ring.

She thought she was here to deliver newspapers or sell milk. When she opened the door and saw Little Sherlock in loose clothes, Lady Mina stood still and hesitated for a moment.

Then she blinked—a star-like glow that shrouded her eyes.

This is the astral vision unique to the Prophet who has adapted to the path. It can easily see the fundamental spiritual nature of a person, so as to distinguish the true identity of the other person.

The next moment, Lady Mina suddenly showed a look of surprise:

“…… Are you, Sherlock? ”

"I thank you, ma'am. I didn't say hurtful things like 'this kid'. ”

The juvenile version of Sherlock sighed and waved the sleeve that covered half of his fingers: "This is a new invention of Ivus, it's amazing." ”

"You're so cute."

Lady Mina smiled and complimented before welcoming Sherlock into the house.

She and Bishop Mathers had no children. They were taking care of Sherlock as if they were their own children......

And now that he had really become a younger man, it was naturally more pleasing to Lady Mina.

"I'd rather you say I'm young and energetic."

Sherlock said coldly, reaching out to the sides of his mouth, raising a smile upward, and sneering, "Otherwise, I think I'll be trapped in the next moment, haha." ”

He couldn't help but rub his hair by Lady Mina: "Oh, poor little ...... You've gotten thinner hair. But you do seem to be more energetic than before...... For example, if it was you before, I'm afraid that you would only sigh deeply when you were tired like this, and then when you entered the door, you would snuggle up on the sofa and lazily ask me for a glass of hot cider. ”

Sherlock tried to retort, but he found that Lady Mina was telling the truth. So he chose to remain silent.

Mina exclaimed, "This is amazing, the ritual of rejuvenation ......"

She is not an ordinary person who knows nothing about the path of the transcendent.

It was precisely because she had come into contact with many secret prophets that she was able to understand the incredibleness of this ritual of Evas.

"The phenomenon of aging with the passage of time belongs to the field of sand timepieces; The growth, development, change, and aging of the flesh are related to the blood realm of the path of love. The two of you are neither of balance nor of love, but you can achieve the miracle of turning time around...... It deserves to be him. I don't think I'd be surprised by what miracles he did now. ”

Mina sighed, "The last time I divined, I noticed that his fate line was closely related to many 'high-level illusions'. At that time, I wondered if he was a reincarnated Tenji...... But then he did another divination, only to find out that he was indeed a mortal. ”

Sherlock immediately understood what Mina meant.

In addition to the high-level illusions in the usual sense, the apostles, celestials, and pillar gods are also high-level illusions in terms of racial classification.

"Being a mortal can be so closely related to those great dream beings...... This is even more astonishing than the reincarnation of the Celestial Division or the Apostles. Now I don't dare to do divination on him anymore...... I could see his chaotic thread of fate, and I could see the great beings along the clear line of fate, which was probably a kind warning. ”

Otherwise, she would have passed out at that time. It's hard to say if you can wake up now.

As an adaptor, she chose to follow the guidance of her heart.

Mina chatted with Sherlock for a while before going to make breakfast.

Although Sherlock insists that only his appearance has changed, Mina firmly refuses to offer Sherlock hot cider.

After Lady Mina left, Sherlock, crouched on the couch and curled up, fell into deep thought.

- He always felt that Lady Mina was hinting at something.

Is that they going to be in danger this time? Or is Eivus a pawn of the Celestials?

What other dangers can they encounter with this configuration?

The double third-level self, the third-level Hayna, the third-level priest even mixed with the unknown level of the transcendent path profession, and then added his elusive maid...... Sherlock felt that they could easily defeat even the powerhouses of the fourth energy level. Because their combat effectiveness is not at the level of the regular third energy level at all.

But after hearing Mina say that Aihuas's thread of fate was unusually messy, Sherlock still felt a little flustered.

…… Just in case, take a trip to Edward's house and bring all his spare gear.

As Edward's best friend, Sherlock knew exactly where Edward was used to hiding them.

Now Iwass is not officially a minister without a ministry, and he is not yet a secretary without a ministry...... He was not a member of the Inspectorate or the Inspectorate, he did not have formal authority permission, and he was not one in ten as a lawyer.

But all he had to do was borrow Edward's identity.

As long as he brought Edward's gloves, ceremonial sword, pistol, and ID, he was temporarily authorized by Edward. In this way, he can use the power of the authoritarian path.

Of course, he had another way...... That is to go directly to the queen to give him a charter paperwork. The effect is the same.

But Sherlock didn't want to trouble Her Majesty. I don't want her to worry about herself...... Just as Sherlock didn't want to tell his brother about this trip.

- Anyway, he went to steal things to protect his brother, just leave a note.

On the other hand, Ivas has also completely mastered the new skill of [Radiance] - seeing it appear on his own panel, Ivus can be sure that he has indeed mastered it. It's not a hallucination that appears after being burned too much.

However, he obviously doesn't have a lot of room for him to test it at the moment, as there isn't enough space for him to test it. And he's going out today, and he needs to save some of his condition.

After breakfast in the Temple of Silver and Tin, Evath went to visit the Griffon Minister of Avalon.

The minister lived in the backyard of the Temple of Silver and Tin.

It may be the only minister to live in the Temple of Silver and Tin.

The other one is Ivus.

This minister, whose real name is unknown, is very large. It was the largest griffon Ivas had ever seen.

The griffin minister was lying on a square white stone at the moment, with two cat-like front paws on his chest, blocked by the white fluff on his chest, and his whole body feathers were as white as jade. The stone was a little cramped from a human point of view, and it just held the entire body of the griffin minister. But it's just right for it.

And such a cute cat-like posture will look quite majestic - for no other reason than because it is too big.

The stone platform is almost one meter high. And just by propping up its upper body and lying on it, it must be almost four meters tall.

That's basically the height of a floor. Ivas had to tilt his head to talk to it properly.

"Is this year's girl chief?"

The griffin minister clutched his claws, but let out a low and majestic voice like an old man: "Then there should have been a griffin for a long time." ”

"Probably I wanted to match her with a white-feathered griffin - after all, she was a close disciple of Meg."

Ivus said with a smile.

It was actually the first time he had met the griffon minister, but he wasn't nervous at all...... This old man is currently the oldest griffon in Avalon. It is also the longest living griffon to date.

It is almost the "founding minister" that has existed since the time of the first Knights of the Round Table.

Now it's too old and heavy to fight...... A body that would look too fat for a human would be very pleasing to the eye for a griffin with half the body of a cat.

The Griffon Chancellor of Avalon hasn't always been it - in fact, the old man has given this position to humans several times.

Because griffons are indeed far less intelligent than humans, their physiology is not convenient for handling all kinds of documents. And because the griffons are powerful and able to speak, and as the darlings of the silver-crowned dragon, they do not worry about any injustice.

After all, strictly speaking, the griffin knights, who have a much shorter lifespan than the griffons, are the griffons' nannies and shovelers.

It's just that it has killed the previous griffin minister, so it will be replaced by him again until the queen finds a new griffin minister. Anyway, it just needs to crouch here and be a mascot.

When there is an important document, its secretary will come and ask it to peck at its beak.

That's the beauty of the Avalon civil service system – whether the minister above them is a human or a griffin, the civil servants can get things done. The ministers only need to sign.

And as an old griffin, maybe it is much more capable of working than a human. At least it won't make a scandal, and it won't be bought by foreigners.

"Little Meg, ......"

The Griffin Minister was a little nostalgic: "Her vision has always been okay. What do you need me to do? ”

"Just peck at this file."

Ivas crouched on the ground and spread out the papers. Point to the location where you need to sign it.

The griffin minister did not come down from the stone, but stood still.

It just stretched its neck forward like a spring, and easily lay on a meter-high stone and pecked at the paperwork.

"And this."

Ivus put the file away and pulled out another one: "Peck it here." Well, and here. Over here. Well, thank you. ”

"It's fine."

The Griffin Chancellor raised a gentle voice and encouraged, "Your name is Ehuas, aren't you?" The Crown is looking at you...... Behave well. ”

Aihuas's hand shook and said with a wry smile: "Yes, I will definitely try." ”

…… One thing to say, being stared at by the pillar god is not something to be happy about. This made Ivas a little stressful.

Thankfully, there were no leaks this time.

The Grave Sin Ritual was due to the fact that the Fallen Heavenly Celestial Hiccup occurred in the future, so Ivas didn't dare to tell anyone half a word.

But the Mithras ritual did exist thousands of years ago in the past, and it was an ancient ritual that really spread in the ancient kingdom of Sabbath. It is indeed the path that can be revived through Sherlock and spread in Avalon.

Although Ivas has lied a lot with this excuse, this time it is true.

He could have seen the ritual in a book. It's not like he forcibly invented it like he made the Flame Butterfly.

It's like a priest can pray for the help of an apostle on another path, or a blood mage can learn the spells of another path. This is one of the means by which the path of wisdom acquires the abilities of other paths.

And the first two abilities it acquired in the early stage happened to be Avalon's mainstream path - devotion and authority. This profession can be said to be stress-free to implement, and the most troublesome rituals can also be changed to an assembly line.

After the symbols on the wall are drawn, Heng I gaze and pray that I can kill several cows in one go to help several people complete the ritual. And after this group of people completes the ceremony, the rituals on the wall don't need to be wiped and replaced directly with the next batch.

Although the gaze of the pillar god can't be asked too much in a row, the ritual field doesn't need to be cleaned up. This can be optimized for both efficiency and cost.

Of course, perhaps the biggest problem is that Avalon simply can't get so many high-level mages......

You can't let all the mages of the Principality of Narcissus come to Avalon, right?

I'm afraid that Star Antimony will really have to fight with Avalon.

…… Not necessarily, though. If those mages did come to Avalon, maybe Star Antimony wouldn't have fought with Avalon.

Because then Avalon is "really a weapon of mass destruction".

- Huh, that seems like a solution?

Ivas pondered, wondering if he could find a way to poach some people.
