Chapter 120: This is not Avalon
After that, the Pure White Saintess soon arrived with a whole team of twelve papal guardsβarguably the highest force group in the entire Church at the moment.
But Ivas wasn't embarrassed. Under the pure white arrangement, Ivas went home directly.
According to her, the investigation will soon be over.
Whatever the outcome, she would have Janis inform Ivus of the outcome before the sun went down today.
Anyway, even if he couldn't find anything, Ivus could just go through the polygraph and repeat what Loki had said to him. So it's not really a big problem.
Ivas even suspected that Cardinal Loki had given him the information before he did so so that Ivas would not be troubled after killing him.
- While some of it may be a lie, at least that's what "Ivas knows"; They accurately and completely form Cardinal Loki's chain of motivations.
He's weird and intimate.
It wasn't until late afternoon that Lily returned with Freya.
"Didn't Mr. Oswald come?"
Seeing Lily come back, Ivus, who was reading a book on the sofa in the living room, closed the book and asked casually.
"Nope. Is something happening to you over there, young master? Lily responded.
She didn't seem too worried, after all, Ivus had come back alive.
As long as Ivas wasn't in trouble, she didn't really care much about what happened to Cardinal Loki.
"How do you know?" Ivus was a little surprised.
Could it be that Cardinal Loki's death had reached Oswald so quickly?
"I guess."
Lily shook her head and replied softly, "When I first came back, I noticed that some people on the street looked a little uneasy. β
"The Fifth Ring?"
Ivas nodded with interest, "Interesting." β
After the Eleventh Ring incident, the Papal Guards quickly cordoned off the scene. The other priests were imprisoned by the Night Demons...... Even after the battle was over, they did not relent.
Evas's biggest mistake here is probably to attack these innocent elven priests.
Although it was to prevent them from getting involved in the more intense battlefield, and the injury could be fully recovered by the fire, it did cause them problems.
It was only about three hours after that before Lily returned. At this point, the fifth ring was already in a state of confusion visible to the naked eye.
The fifth ring was originally inherently inhabited, and it was mostly short-lived...... Where did they get the information?
"We didn't go to you right away because Mr. Oswald mentioned it."
Freya put the unfinished lunch on the table and said to Ehuas, "He said, 'Things will end safely [in the Moriarty style]." What the hell is going on? β
ββ¦β¦ I guess my father told Mr. Oswald that, right? β
Ivus narrowed his eyes slightly and spoke.
Freya nodded.
Moriarty style β that's a lot of information.
Does this refer to Professor Moriarty's spider-like manipulative intelligence, or does Ivus elevate his social status every time he defeats an enemy?
You know, James and Ivas are both Moriarty.
Speaking of spiders, though......
"Lily," Ivas said to Lily, remembering something he had forgotten, and suddenly opened his mouth to Lily, "I remember what you seemed to see when you saw Cardinal Loki and Braim?" β
He remembered that Lily had some strange reactions at that time. It was only for a moment, but Ivas still remembered it.
Bram would use gray spider silk, which seemed to resemble Lily.
ββ¦β¦ Yes. β
Lily recalled for a moment, and remembered a part: "It seems to be." But I can't remember......"
But soon, her face changed: "Wait, I remembered!" That fleeting hallucinationβit seems to be very similar to the feeling when reading "The Spider Silk Thread"! β
Hearing this name, Freya's eyes on the side moved slightly.
Lily even felt terrified - somehow, she had completely forgotten about it!
It's not natural.
Normally, Lily would have hinted to Ivus as soon as possible. But she couldn't remember it herself, and she didn't mention it at all for two days.
At that time, the feeling was like a moth in the corner, and the moment I looked away, it disappeared.
ββ¦β¦ Are you sure Cardinal Loki has that too? β
Ivus opened his eyes in surprise.
Lily struggled to recall, not quite sure: "It's probably the same feeling...... But that feeling seems to be stronger. β
"Bramm's words are easy to understand......"
Eivas fell into deep thought.
When Bram was in Avalon, he had a reputation for rebellion. I also heard that he used the Tantra...... If the one he used was Lily's later "Spider Silk Secret", it was also possible; Or maybe he got the "Spider Silk Tantra" in another language overseas, or maybe he got it.
But Cardinal Loki β isn't he a giant?
As a giant who is either "brainless" or "unhappy", he has mastered the "Spider Silk Secret" with the theme of "the power of lies...... It sounds so weird.
Could it be that this is where Bream and Cardinal Loki's acquaintance took place?
What do Loki, Braim and Lily have in common?
These are simply three completely different people...... Why is it accepted by the same Tantra?
Unable to think of anything more for a short period of time, Ivas sorted out his thoughts a little, and first opened his mouth to explain the situation to the two of them: "To put it simply, the tears of time were indeed stolen by Loki, and he did have malicious intentions towards the Holy Maiden. β
ββ¦β¦ That is, those two dead had nothing to do with Cardinal Loki? β
After listening to the first half of the sentence, Freya guessed what Ivas was trying to say: "Actually, my father noticed this and tried to blame Cardinal Loki by killing people." And because Cardinal Loki did commit another thing, he became invulnerable to the ...... Probably so, right? β
"Almost."
Ivus nodded.
Although the details are slightly different, that's basically what it means.
- Apparently, Freya also had some knowledge of their father's style.
And just then, there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Ivus, are you there?"
The pure white voice of the saint came from outside.
Although this door couldn't stop the saint at all, and she could come in by pushing the door casually, she still knocked on the door very politely.
Lily immediately went over to open the door and welcomed Chun Bai and the two papal guards who were with her.
Freya retreated to the corner of the room.
She clasped her hands and stood quietly without saying a word. When Freya saw that the saint's expression was not serious and sad, but very relaxed, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
The blindfolded saint seemed to sense Freya's gaze, and after entering the door, she tilted her head slightly in Freya's direction.
Then she "looked" at Ivas and nodded slightly: "The results of the investigation have come out." β
"How?"
Ivas asked.
Without waiting for Junbai to answer, he looked at the two guards and said with a smile: "It seems that the situation is very optimistic. β
After all, the Eternal Maiden is a support class. Although she can exercise the advanced divine skills of the Nine Pillars God, it is obviously impossible to explain the actual combat knowledge in the Holy Maiden's course - the fierce confrontation can easily make the mind restless and break the sense of tranquility that tends to be eternal.
Because of this, as long as the saint travels, she must follow the papal guard. Even the eternal pope is the same...... The biggest difference between the Pope and the Holy Maiden is that they have the divine costume that has been passed down from generation to generation, but if you want to talk about the list of divine arts, it is actually almost the same. At the end of the day, it's still a support class, proficient in protection, healing, dispel, and buffs, and not good at fierce confrontations.
The essence of these papal guards is to match these two top support classes in the world with professional thugs.
From this point of view, the Eternal Virgin and the Eternal Pope can even be said to be a kind of summoner - except that these "summoned beasts" are some elite transcendents.
The more formal the occasion and the more dangerous the area, the larger the size of the guards accompanying the saint. A team of 12 is the top standard.
Because with the buff and protection of the Holy Maiden, a team of papal guards can penetrate any organization in the world without damage.
And the Holy Maiden came to Ivus, but only brought the minimum number of two. This means that it is certainly not a bad thing for her to come to Ivus, and there will be no trouble or danger in her.
Freya had to observe the saint's face...... But Ivas only looked at how many people he knew, and he knew it was over.
Pure White was also clearly aware of what Ivus meant.
She teased, "You know, Archbishop Ewas. β
"I understand, Your Highness."
Ivas touched his chest with his right hand and bowed his head.
"It's a good thing β it's easy to find the tears of time that he's storing there. The ingredients have been empirically known and it is certain that there is something wrong with Loki. β
The pure white expression became serious: "I use this as a reason to temporarily deprive Loki of his cardinal name until the results of the in-depth investigation are out and the meeting of the Cardinal Hall is over." Now that the Eleventh Ring has come to a standstill, Loki is no longer a cardinal...... Therefore you have not committed the crime of attacking the cardinal. β
ββ¦β¦ I remember, I fought Cardinal Loki before you stripped him of his identity. Ivus tilted his head.
"This isn't Avalon, Evas."
Chun Bai reached out and touched Ivas's head, and replied casually, "The sect country doesn't talk about 'rules' here. Here, rules are meant to stop people from messing around, but they are not used to punish people after the fact β the punishment after the fact basically depends on the specific proposition of the person in charge. As long as something is generally in line with the process and no one questions it, then the matter can be over.
"To put it more clearly...... As long as no other cardinal stands up against me. Then I can take care of the matter with full authority.
"Because Cardinal Loki is dead."
