Chapter Thirty-Eight: Mathers: I Said It Randomly

- With the character of the pillar god, no matter where they run next, I am afraid that the army will catch up.

After all, as Sherlock, he had to flee with Princess Isabel.

Since the necessary task is to escort Isabel, it means that they are bound to be in danger. It could even be the greatest danger.

But with Shafiya the Grand Inquisitor with them, how could they be in danger? If Ivus were to go with him, he might as well be the Patron Elves...... If a lineup of this size is in danger, the advisor can only think of one possibility.

That's where the two prime ministers acted. Either that, there will be a plurality of fifth-level transcendents arriving with the army.

Otherwise, it doesn't make sense.

That's why he wanted to kill Isabel in the first place. In this way, he was freed from the constraints of his own "Sherlock" role, and he did not have to fulfill his duties and did not have to go on adventures with Isabel.

And what if you kill Isabel and stay where she is?

He also had the task of [The Day of Doom is Approaching] that required him to stay on the island of glass until his last day.

It's just the chaos of the change of Avalon's throne, and this kind of thing can definitely be calmed down in two or three days. So the "day of destruction" that this mission refers to should refer to something else.

For example...... The utter destruction of the Isle of Glass.

Explain what will definitely happen on the last day, so that anyone who stays on the island of glass will be wiped out.

And the advisor believes that other promotions should have this task as well.

The advisor also has another mission, which is to assist the Great Guardian in commanding the griffin legion to complete the decapitation operation.

Not to mention that he didn't know anything about the Griffin Legion - after all, the advisor was not a mage of pure wisdom and had never commanded war. He didn't know if he would be exposed or worse...... So he decided not to touch it.

And both of these tasks are 500 points.

This shows that in the eyes of the Lord of Scales, the danger of carrying out this mission is basically the same - it is only two hundred points to keep all the secrets from Drost's imprisonment and torture and escape safely.

But now it's clear...... If Isabel is this character, then the plan to assassinate her can be vetoed directly.

Maybe even the moment she has the killing intent, she will recognize her identity.

The transcendent intuition of the path of beauty is like this, which is difficult to deal with and unreasonable.

The advisor sighed silently.

…… I really never expected that as a high-level leader of the Star Antimony people, I would one day be chased by the Star Antimony people's army in the promotion ceremony.

His body, which had become tired and weakened from being tortured by Minister Drost, was healed by Eivus, and his energy was replenished. The brain is finally able to function properly.

So the advisor took a deep breath and invoked the power of the path of wisdom.

As a blue flame ignited at the bottom of his pupils, his brain cooled, and his thoughts instantly became clear. The consultant entered the state of "super intelligence" and began to think quickly about the strategy and sort out the action plan.

- Although there are many tasks in this promotion ceremony, there are actually only three paths.

Evacuate with Isabel, stay on the island of glass, and flee to the countryside.

The dangers they will encounter mean "facing the plural fifth-level transcendents"; "An army waiting for the Star Antimony under the threat of a firedemon that could explode at any moment"; "Isolated from the army of the Star Antimony". The third one is, without a doubt, the safest and the hardest to score.

As for whether to kill Isabel or not, in fact, it is just to fight for the initiative to end the promotion ceremony. But if the number of survivors is less than six, the initiative can be ceded.

That way, it's only enough to kill one more promotioner!

Now that the promoters are gone, killing one more person can guarantee that all the remaining promoters will be promoted as long as they can survive to the end.

So how can you be sure of surviving?

- There is only one answer, and that is to help Isabel complete the Shadow of Avalon ritual.

If there is only one person left in Durak, the Avalon Ritual can be triggered...... Now it is nothing more than the two possibilities that can be activated, and it can be activated by killing Prince John.

What he had pretended to hear before was more than just a secret about Avalon and Isabel.

It is the key clue of this promotion ceremony!

Information obtained through methods similar to "fake death", lurking. This is exactly the way the Lord of the Scales prefers to unfold the plot, which is extremely in line with the logic of the behavior of adapting to the path.

Of course, you also need to avoid the possibility of deducting points.

If you want to complete the Shadow of Avalon Ritual is part of a promotioner's mission...... As a ritual, it is most likely a task that transcends the path. And it must be the last task, that is, the most difficult one. Because just getting the clue of this task is already extremely difficult.

…… Fortunately, I considered that there were enough demon scholars in Star Antimony, and the three paths that I rejected did not include the transcendent path.

Then in addition to finding his two students and distributing this important information to them first......

There are three things to do.

First, find the promotion "Olive" who transcends the path, complete the cooperation with him, and complete the Shadow of Avalon ceremony within three days; second, to convince Isabel to give them the Shadow of Avalon ritual, after all, this is the information he overheard, and he can't go directly to her for specific details; Third, if no one has died by then, find a way to kill another promoter.

- Olives are a suitable object.

Under the pretext of "extinguishing the mouth", Isabel was encouraged to kill him. With Isabel's deep personality and ruthless methods, she would most likely agree...... This is an easy way to kill with a knife.

The dark blue flames at the base of the advisor's pupils gradually dissipated.

He rubbed his head with a headache, feeling his brain become heavy.

…… What the hell is going on with this body?

He had only been in a super intelligent state for a short time, and he felt like he was about to explode with a headache...... He's usually normal.

Sherlock's body is too weak, isn't it?

I haven't heard of any incurable diseases for him......

He could only close his eyes and lie down again to rest for a while.

After only a short sleep, he was woken up again by the sound outside.

The advisor quietly got up and walked to the door, quietly listening to the sounds outside.

He soon realized that a man who should never have appeared at this time had appearedβ€”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Court alchemist Nobel? ”

The advisor muttered, eyes wide in disbelief.

- Albert Lorrey, is that you?

His most proud student, a genius who has a talent in necromancy that makes half of the mentor of the Psychic Pagoda jealous...... But it is clear that he lacks sufficient life experience.

You are a court alchemist who runs to Moriarty Manor to find the princess.

Don't you think you're a bit stupid when you say this?

What a princess does it matter to you!

Nobel is a star antimony!

You, a Star Antimony Man, have safely escaped from the flaming Silver and Tin Temple when the Queen is suspected of being assassinated by the Star Antimony Man, and then you want to find Princess Isabel who escaped......

…… The only good thing is that because this move is so stupid, he shouldn't be exposed.

But the possibility of being imprisoned is enough – and being locked up means that he will not be able to continue his mission. And if you are tortured, it is even more dangerous...... Authoritarian paths have the ability to tell the truth, and it's easy to be tortured to reveal the truth about yourself as a promoter.

Then something is going to happen.

It's really a matter of getting me into trouble if you can't watch it for a while......

The advisor felt a little numb in the back.

…… No, we still have to find a way to save him.

Thinking so, Sherlock cleared his throat and pushed the door open.

On the other side, Bishop Mathers also pulled Ivas aside.

His expression was also visibly stunned.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Why is Her Royal Highness really here with you? ”

"What do you mean by 'really' being here?"

Ivus raised an eyebrow and lowered his voice and asked, "What happened?" Tell me more about it. ”

Bishop Mathers' face was ugly: "Something may have happened, Ivace...... Remember to lock up the Nobel Prize in a moment.

"He told me about what happened in the Temple of Silver and Tin. The front is all the same as I know, but there is a problem in the back.

"The two princesses are obviously exactly the same, why is he so sure that it is the real princess who was rescued by Lady Shafiya? Moreover, he also tried to find the runaway princess...... I think something is definitely wrong. So I took the Carter kid and tricked him into coming to you, and the result was ......"

- And it turns out that Princess Isabel is really with you.

Bishop Mathers had originally come out of the Cathedral of Candles against the crowd with the fragment of the Holy Sword in his hand, intending to go to the Temple of Silver and Tin to see what was going on.

If it was the illusion that made him feel extremely dangerous, it was the legendary Fire Demon...... Perhaps his self-sacrifice will be required to banish the Fire Demon from the material realm.

"I really didn't know that Her Royal Highness would be here ...... princess"

Bishop Mathers couldn't help but explain.

He had a sense of grievance that he had obviously lied casually, but it turned out to be a leaker.

He really doesn't know anything!
