Bishop Mathers' claim was quickly rejected by Ivus.

There is no gain for them to imprison the Nobel Master - the alchemical concoction is only a potion in the hands of others, but in the hands of the alchemist, it can exert a unique effect.

And now, they need manpower. Neither Ivas nor Isabel rejected the Balanced Path, so they could accept help from strangers.

After reassuring Bishop Mathers, Ivas demanded a fragment of the red-hilted sword from him.

The familiar weapon was back in his hand, and Ivus felt much more relieved.

So Ivas found Isabel again and told her all about the rest of the arrangements.

"It's time to go," said Ivus earnestly, "take Shafia with you, and my father, Oswald, who is going to protect him after all, and who can protect you with him." Diomedes gives it to you too, and you take them all away......

"Originally, on the way to the country, you would definitely encounter danger. But that was based on the fact that Ms. Shafiya was dead and we went to the church alone. Now that Shafiya has been rescued by us, there probably won't be too many problems on your side with her to protect you. I plan to have both Bishop Mathers and Master Nobel follow you...... Sherlock and I stayed here. I'll keep an eye on him. ”

“…… What about you? ”

Isabel looked at Ivus, but only asked, "Do you have to perform the Shadow of Avalon ceremony?" ”

They were now more and more acquainted, and Isabel had guessed what Ivas was trying to do.

When Ivus suddenly mentioned the Shadow of Avalon ritual earlier, Isabel sensed something was wrong.

"As I said, there's something wrong with that ritual."

Isabel wanted to stop Ivace: "If you want to secure a promotion...... We just need to see through that fake Sherlock, right?

"I think your father seems to have guessed that this was a promotion ceremony. By hinting, maybe he can help us get rid of the 'advisor' who is feeling troublesome. ”

"The advisor has to be killed."

Ivas replied, "If you just die if you are recognized, you will have a damaged soul, but you will not necessarily die. So I'm going to kill him a little cleaner.

"Then he will either have a serious damage to his soul or he will die as a result. Either way, it won't leave him with enough memories...... Although there are no flaws in our previous role, as long as he realizes that Ivas is a 'fox' or Isabel is a 'Lulu', the information we pass on to him will be debunked. ”

“…… You mean, the ...... at the end of the promotion ceremony."

Isabel reacted.

The clip of that "highlight" is likely to cut Isabel and Ivas into it.

"But what if he told his two students these details?"

Isabel had a new doubt.

"No," affirmed Ivus, "they can't remember so much. Because I didn't say anything secrets directly, the things we said had to be combined with real intelligence analysis to get useful results. If he had told the students the original text, they would have missed a sentence or two, and the meaning would have been completely different. And they don't have access to Avalon's secrets, and they don't have enough experience and life experience to analyze them on their own.

Because of this, he will definitely give them the information after summarizing. And even if he mentions us, if he stops his mouth, there is no proof of death. ”

“…… After all, it's four days, right? ”

Isabel also understood: "They can't write these things down if they don't want to be recognized." So in the end, there won't be too much information that can be written down, and it must be a summary version. ”

"That's right."

Ivus nodded, "But I'm not going to delay the ceremony until the fourth day...... I plan to finish the promotion ceremony the next day. ”

"You ate a drunken tincture, and the dream should last for four days?"

Isabel was a little worried: "Is your dream unstable?" Do you want me to go to the church at full speed? ”

"Eat, I'm fine. I'm thinking about something else......"

Ivas sighed helplessly: "If it's other pillar gods, I don't have any opinion...... But this is the stage created by the Lord of the Feathers. ”

As a pastor, his main knowledge is theology.

Of course, he knew the differences in personality and personal preferences of these pillar gods.

The Lord of the Feathers likes to watch stories of mortals who survive the hardships and dangers.

a little girl who suffered burns all over her body after the fire, but still managed to survive; Soldiers who were shot a dozen times during the war and have multiple physical disabilities but still try to survive; A hunter who struggles to bring his people to survive from the cold and hunger caused by heavy snow or drought......

All of these people may be blessed by the Lord of Scales and become His apostles.

He is the God who faces danger, tastes suffering, and sings the praises of hope.

"Adaptation" is not an escape, but an overcome. As in the principle of "biomimicry", it is a victory for the weak.

This is evident from the character of his apostle, Akpolis, who is commonly known as the "Medic" of salvation and saves all who wish to be saved equally. He often appears on the battlefield as a dove to save soldiers who have a strong desire to survive; Occasionally, he also turned into a sparrow to kiss terminally ill patients, giving the miracle of life to those who are terminally ill but still trying to live.

With the nature of the Lord of the Feathers, the ritual will either become more and more intense, or there will be dangers that will require courage to solve. And no place is completely safe.

The reason why Eivus saved so many people was so that Isabel could reach the church safely.

And Ivus intends to stay on the island of glass until the end.

"If it drags on until the last day, it will be dangerous on my side. So I hope you can arrive before dawn on the third day. But it's better not to be too fast, because I'm still looking for olives. Or rather, I'm going to wait for the olives to find me. ”

Ivas looked at Isabel seriously: "Although we passed the promotion ceremony in order to get the blessing of the pillar god to improve the 'level'. But the promotion ceremony is still essentially for 'simulation'.

"Since it's a simulation, it's natural to test things that can't be tested in the real world. For example, 'Shadow of Avalon'. I can't use the Queen's blood for the ritual myself, so I'll need the help of other ritualists. I don't know what will happen when Shadow of Avalon is completed...... So I intend to finish the ritual tomorrow at dusk, and you enter the church after dark. ”

Ivas told Isabel: "Let's go our separate ways. There is no contact in the middle, so you can only rely on tacit understanding. So I can't get anyone else to stay here for me...... I can only rest assured if I stay here on my own; Only if you control the time you go to the church, can I feel at ease. ”

“…… Sure enough, Olive is the master of Iben, right? ”

Isabel finally settled.

If Olive was someone else, there would never be a way for Ivas to trust him so much. He won't tell the secret of the Shadow of Avalon to the other party.

"Well," Evas nodded slowly, "the only problem is that this plan will leave Teacher Iben in a dangerous place. But I'll try to protect his ...... as well."

"—Protect yourself, Evas."

Isabel interrupted Ivus's words and said with great seriousness.

Knowing that Ivas still had her own people by her side, Isabel also relaxed a little.

She made a joke and whispered, "Don't forget...... Tomorrow night, we have an appointment. Gotta survive, Evas. ”

"How can there be a completely safe promotion ceremony...... But I'm going to survive. ”

Ivus smiled, "After all, my side is not completely empty, at least Leah is still with me." ”

"—Who is Leah?" Isabel was a little wary.

"Flame Butterfly. I just gave her a name, is that good? ”

"It's okay."

Isabel vaguely skimmed over the topic.

She asked instead, "Do you know how the Shadow of Avalon ceremony works?" Do you want me to tell you? ”

Although she was still a little uneasy in her heart, she chose to trust Ivus.

Silver Crowned Dragon, Twin Mirrors......

I hope you'll take care of Ivus. May he be safe.

"Then you need to ...... Teacher Lulu's serious teaching. ”

Ivas grabbed Isabelle's wrist and whispered in her ear.

But in fact, Ivas is not as stable as he appears.

A copy made by the Lord of the Scales himself...... It's certainly not that simple.

He wasn't worried about his side. He can live no matter how he is, and it's a big deal to give up the Shadow of Avalon ritual. It's just an experiment, and it's also about getting scores. But if it is compared to the safety of himself and his friends, he also knows what to choose.

So far, everything seems to be going well, but that's because of Ivus's intelligence advantage, which allows him to choose the best possible in every incident.

But Isabel's side......

Ivas could only do his best and stuff all the teammates he found and saved for her.

"I pray to the Lord of the Scales, the god of the holy number six. The god of scales and feathers, the god of thousands of clothes and appearances......"

Ivas also prayed silently in his heart: "I hope Isabel will be safe." ”

And right now.

Within an area of the dream realm, nine transparent souls sat on marble chairs, their heads bowed, and entered the dream within a dream.

Akpolis stood in the middle of them, boredly teasing the little snake on his cane. Every now and then take a look at how they're doing.

His eyes narrowed suddenly.

"—Please stop, Miss Erneo."

Akpolis said slowly.

Not far away, a red-haired girl in light armor and drenched in blood quietly emerged.

She held the invisible hammer that the hurricane had turned into, and one bloody footprint at a time, came towards the spirit of Ehuas.

When she appeared, a storm of blood swept around her.

"Stop."

Akpolis warned again.

He raised the snake staff in his hand and looked coldly at Xiong Tiansi's apostle, the "City Breaker" Ernio.

"I don't want to say it a third time."
