Chapter 117: The Only Lie Left
ββ¦β¦ I get it. β
Evas's mind suddenly brightened: "You stole the Tears of Time to murder the Pure White Saint - your purpose is to destroy Freya and Grey at the same time!"
"You don't want the research to heal the Gel to continue to advance, and you don't want the Eternal Maiden lineage to continue. So you're going to use the Elixir in Freya's synthesis to murder Pure White in order to frame Freya! β
"Hmph."
Loki smiled, noncommittal.
In this way, this part is right.
Why only a third? Because there was only one person who was murdered in the first place, even if you count the decline in performance, this is enough.
If Bishop Mercedes hadn't died, and if Gloria hadn't had an accident, Ivas would not have imagined that the stolen potion would have anything to do with Loki and Pure White. They will only go to the Eleventh Ring to ask Cardinal Loki who the prisoner is, and even treat Cardinal Loki as an ally NPC.
ββ¦β¦ So. β
"Why did you murder Bishop Mercedes and Gloria Blue Rose?" β
"I told you, I didn't kill them."
Loki sighed helplessly: "I'm past the age where I have to lie about everything. Only when every sentence is the truth can the only remaining lie be convinced.
"Remember, Iwass, what did I say?"
β The death of Bishop Mercedes? That's none of my business. I know this because I see it.
- You can't even protect the Bishop of Mercedes, and you still want to protect Ivace?
- As far as I know, Bishop Mercedes died without resistance.
He could see that Gloria had killed Mercedes. Mercedes, on the other hand, was stabbed in the womb and died from injuries that were completely impossible to kill, and the whole process was completely unresistant.
Loki told Pure White that Ivas was in much more trouble than Mercedes, and that it had to do with chasing his past; He also said that this matter has nothing to do with himself, but with the people who control the fire.
And Loki explained only one thing in these things. That was Gloria's suicide.
β¦β¦ But if it is said.
The fact that Gloria killed Mercedes was not promoted by Loki, but by Professor Moriarty?
- That's at least 80 percent!
Because of this incident, even if Ivas instinctively thinks that Loki is fine, he will still be wary. In addition, the dead person happened to be the Bishop of Mercedes, who Pure White cared about, and Pure White had a bad relationship with Loki, so she would inevitably compete with Loki.
It was precisely because of Gloria's suicide that at the moment when the tears of time were stolen, all those who knew about Gloria's death subconsciously suspected Loki.
And if Loki's real purpose is to be a pure white saint, and at the same time wants to blame Freya......
Then he should do as little as possible and reduce his presence.
Pure white has begun to condense, how much impact can the death of the Mercedes bishop bring to her? Loki does have the Tears of Time on her hands, does she really need this kind of thing to force her to condense herself?
Loki is Moriarty's mentor and the forerunner of the "controlled fire" revered by the elves. He doesn't look like an idiot.
What if Loki were a wildfire giant...... Looking at his reaction now, it also shows that he has long been able to control the anger in his blood.
Trolls are imitations of giants, and among the trolls that Ivas has seen, there are also two smart people, although there are also Hanhan. Giants, as the archetypes of trolls, cannot be lacking in wisdom. Like the giants of the Northland, they cool their brains through extreme cold. Once you are able to control the primordial fury in the depths of your bloodline, you will be enlightened by the path of wisdom.
Loki can't be stupid.
Looking at Bream's appearance, it is estimated that he was played by Loki - he is the one who is protected by Si Candle, and he is not even afraid of threats from Xiong Tiansi. But he was only afraid of his former student, Professor Moriarty.
Plus...... This made Eivers feel somewhat familiar, with the "all clues and evidence all pointing to the same person" style.
Although Eivers initially relied on a priori intelligence, he was able to ignore the misleading to a certain extent; But as the evidence continued to emerge, he involuntarily wavered.
The so-called three people become tigers...... Ivas is not exempt from vulgarity.
Loki is indeed guilty.
Stealing lab supplies with the intention of murdering the Holy Maiden and framing Elvas's sister Freya.
But the fact that Gloria killed Mercedes has nothing to do with him at all!
The tears of time can indeed make people condense quickly...... But even if it can make people depressed without experimentation, it can't make Mercedes die willingly.
This manipulation of people's hearts is more like Professor Moriarty's style.
In this way, Ivas understood-
"I see, it's in reverse order!"
Ivas's eyes lit up and blurted out: "It's not that Gloria broke down and killed Mercedes after being stained with the tears of time, depressed, but because she realized that she had killed Mercedes, she collapsed......"
The person who is really controlled by Professor Moriarty is probably Bishop Mercedes.
She entrusts Gloria with her rituals and the salvation of her soul; And when Gloria came to her senses and realized what she had done, her otherwise good mood completely collapsed. The door that could only be opened by the papal guard and cardinals, Oswald could have opened.
Although he is not the current serving Papal Guard, he also holds the inheritance of the Papal Guard. Except for their clothing, their strength is exactly the same.
ββ¦β¦ Why didn't you make it clear in the first place? β
"Useful?"
Cardinal Loki sarcastically said: "When you came to me, my rebellious student had already achieved his purpose. Anything I say is nothing more than quibbles...... If I say more, it's easier to reveal my true purpose.
"It's better to use it to attack pure white. Look at her stupidity...... Maybe she won't need me to do anything, and she'll withdraw from the pope election on her own. β
In this way, everything Loki said was actually true:
- Rather than delay the condensation and finally freeze her soul in that statue, she would rather have a short and brilliant death.
- How can you define her actions against Mercedes as a murder...... Instead of salvation?
- Are you so sure that she wants to survive and stay with you and wait for the future of Ningpo?
It's better than lying with the truth and making people think that every sentence is the truth......
Cardinal Loki's use of lies goes even further - he uses all the truth to make people think it's a lie, so that only people think he is lying.
ββ¦β¦ Is it because of Sister Freya? β
Ivas muttered, "Because she's the daughter of that Anna Kingsford...... So when your plan was intent on framing her, Father was going to teach you a lesson. That's why I used these two 'inevitable death' lives to interfere with your plans and expose the secrets you were hiding in advance. β
"James is not an ordinary person. Perhaps he was deceived by love in his youth, but now he can no longer be called a human being. β
Loki said slowly, and suddenly began to walk forward: "I don't know why he suddenly got in my way...... But one thing I'm sure of.
"The ritual that Mercedes performs...... The reason why I want to keep it a secret from you is because it also helps me in my plans.
"James is such a character. He always came up with a plan that everyone agreed on, but he was always the ultimate beneficiary. Even if he knew it was a conspiracy, he couldn't easily escape from his trap. Because you can't tell with precision, he wants you to be silent or he wants you to rebel. And his speculation about people's hearts has surpassed my understanding of the stars.
"I'm sure you're missing one last clue. With this clue, you can complete all the truths.
"And I'm going to give you that chance."
With every word Loki said, he took a step forward. Ivas stood motionless, not even his expression changing.
As he approached, Vignes flew off Ivus's shoulders and landed between them.
She suddenly felt a strong threatβher scarlet pupils gaped and she let out an unpleasant, loud crow rattle.
"Mercedes is pregnant with a child. Mercedes's union with the other party is not entirely about love, but also about breaking the inheritance of the saint - because the other party has the blood of the child of the moon in his veins. She wants to create the Holy Son of the Moon who can reach the realm of 'perfection'.
"The feisty Mercedes was so disgusted with the inheritance of the Holy Maiden, but she worked so hard to maintain the status of the alternate Holy Virgin in preparation for this ceremony. But Mercedes is only a substitute saint after all.
So, James gave them a forbidden ritual. Purify the power of devotion with the life that the mother voluntarily gave herself.
Eventually, before the conception was completed, at the sacrificial ceremony, his father commissioned Gloria to dig a hole from the outside and throw part of his soul into it. Thus, the immortal baby had a chance to suck the blood of the true saint. I can see all of this clearly.
"It's a pity that the people who went home with you were not pure white...... That's why he had to flee early. That's why the wound just started to bleed...... Because there was a little vampire hidden inside. β
"So, what about the vampire?"
Ivas asked.
The corners of Loki's mouth rose slightly, and he didn't answer.
At that moment, Evas's mind suddenly reflected the blood wine that Brem had drunk.
Inside the glass, there was a small red ball like a plum. It's like some kind of heart.
If you say......
β¦β¦ If that's the heart of a giant, wouldn't it be a little too small?
But why, is it true that Bream can turn into a giant?
"What you're trying to ask is why Bream was able to become a giant, right?"
The corners of Loki's mouth rose slightly: "Because the 'Holy Son Embryo' does have the blood of giants flowing in it, and because I can also incarnate as the Child of the Moon, I can steal the tears of time that are highly poisonous to the elves-
"βbecause what is in her womb is my child."
When the sense of crisis reached its peak, Vignes turned into a prototype without thinking!
But at this moment, a scarlet streamer hidden in a certain mirror had already slashed at Aihuas silently!
