Chapter 187 Counterattack Ritual: Shadow of Avalon
…The Silver Crowned Dragon mentioned me?
What good thing could that be?!
He still remembered it.
The first time he was watched by the Silver Crowned Dragon was because he swore not to use his own race as ritual materials... That was because of old Moriarty's inducement. After all, only ghosts know that a "simple oath" is such a level of restraint.
Can summon the high and mighty Silver Crowned Dragon.
Thinking of this, Aiwass suddenly felt a thump in his heart.
——Could it be that the Silver-crowned Dragon thinks that I know the sins of heaven and earth?
That has nothing to do with me, it’s entirely James’ father’s problem!
Avas suddenly felt guilty: "Your Majesty... what did you say about me?"
The Silver Crowned Dragon is the pillar god of the authoritative path and the god of kings. Therefore, it is also okay to directly address the other person as Your Majesty.
Her Majesty the Queen's words made Aiwass' heart stop again for a moment: "He said that you are a born transcendent, which reminded him of himself when he was young."
——I am super!
At that moment, Aiwass realized that he might have fallen off his horse.
For the Silver Crowned Dragon to praise him, it was probably because he saw his performance in the advanced copy of the Transcendence Ceremony. This was not surprising to Aiwass, after all, it was the ceremony presided over by Gawain, the apostle of the Silver Crowned Dragon.
... He would later say a few words to the Silver Crowned Dragon. Aiwass's behavior was also normal.
But Aiwass never expected that the Silver Crowned Dragon's mouth would be so broken - why would the Nine Pillar God still chat with humans?
Si Zhu has a good temper, but I have never heard of Si Zhu talking to someone about such a thing?
Since the Silver Crowned Dragon can mention this kind of thing, then at least Her Majesty the Queen probably knows that she is a practitioner of the path of devotion and the path of transcendence.
Then the lie she told about "Aleister" would be easy for her to see through.
After all, Aiwass chose this code name at the time to commemorate his past.
"Aleister" is a variant of "Alexander". As long as a few letters are changed, it will be pronounced like this when read in other countries' languages.
Precisely because in the language of Iris, Aleister and Alexander are written in completely different ways, so Aiwass is not worried that someone from Iris will find out his identity. After all, he saw his biological father’s face during the ceremony, and
There is a 70-80% resemblance to him. If anyone knows him, he might be able to recognize Aiwass' origin at a glance.
——To put it simply, it’s like the “shrimp catcher” joke. The more iris people are, the harder it is to understand what Aiwass is trying to do. On the contrary, the Avalonians may understand it.
Since Her Majesty the Queen knows that Aiwass is also an adaptor of the Beyond Path, she may know that Shadow Demon is his contracted demon. Then she will naturally be able to see through who "Aleister" really is.
But the good news is that even if my vest fell off, it didn’t fall off completely——
Because the Silver Crowned Dragon praised himself, in other words, he was recognized by the big boss.
At least, his way of transcendence is now legal. The Queen can say such words to him directly at such a moment, which is to imply that she will not cause trouble for him.
Previously, Aiwass was worried whether he would encounter the palace ritualist when he came to the Palace of Silver and Tin.
Although he has never seen it before... no matter how you think about it, the palace ritualist maintained by Avalon must have at least a third level, right? Then at least once you get closer, it will be easy to see through his identity.
The good news now is that Aiwass will not be dragged out and hanged for exposing his identity as a demonologist.
The bad news is that the big guardian next to him is already looking at him thoughtfully.
——Grandma, please take it easy! George and David are still listening!
...Or are you saying this just for George?
Fortunately, the Great Guardian intervened at this time and changed the topic that Aiwass couldn't handle at all: "What will happen next, Your Majesty? Is it still the same as before?"
Same as before?
Aiwass, who was silent without saying a word, suddenly noticed the words of the Great Guardian.
"Well, this amount is enough."
Her Majesty the Queen nodded: "Whether Albert can survive or not...at worst, I'm going to die anyway."
What is this talking about?
Aiwass was puzzled, but did not dare to ask. He could only analyze that this might be related to some sacrificial ceremony...
Fortunately, at this moment, David said in confusion: "Dad, Your Majesty...what are you talking about?"
——Good boy, you also have the heart to transcend!
Aiwass praised David in his heart.
This kind of topic sounds like a top secret, and I don’t even dare to ask. How dare you ask directly in person!
Miss Aleister will praise you very much when we meet again!
But Aiwass also belatedly realized that the Queen was not sad, and it seemed to have nothing to do with whether she was used to it or not...but there were other reasons.
Because Her Majesty the Queen looked at David, but the corners of her mouth were slightly raised. She seemed to be very satisfied with him asking this question.
The Great Guardian did not scold David, but lowered his head and asked: "Can you tell these children, Your Majesty Sophia?"
"These are the pillars of Avalon in the future," the Queen said with a chuckle, "Tell them, these secrets will be passed on to them. Anyway, the curse should be over."
Aiwass was suddenly startled.
The key is, what she said is really right...
Her Majesty the Queen actually guessed it?
This is information that Aiwass has never come across in the game.
This has nothing to do with Aiwass not watching the plot, because players who watch the plot don't know what the curse is.
Aiwass only knew that the last person to die in the curse was the current Prince Andrew. After him, no one died.
Logically speaking, after the queen's death, the throne should be inherited by Isabel's father, Prince Albert. He is the first heir.
But it's a pity that he is a useless person - at least in terms of his royal status, he is a useless person. But he is also a good person at the same time.
In the plot of the game, before the queen was assassinated...he heard that he might inherit the throne, so he ran away secretly.
Of course, saying he escaped may not be very accurate.
Specifically, he went sightseeing.
Like Isabel, Prince Albert also lacks the adaptability of the authoritarian path. Therefore, although he is almost fifty years old this year, he only has the second level of authoritarian power.
He is not interested in the throne at all. He prefers to carry his own special guitar and travel around the country like a bard.
He is a very good luthier and has transformed the shape and sound of the guitar. This is his favorite work.
He gave up his right to the throne long ago.
However, according to the plot line in the game, after the death of Prince Andrew, there are only three heirs left in the royal family:
The two-level authoritative path, the third-level wisdom path Prince Albert; the third-level beauty path, the cowardly and autistic Princess Isabel; Prince John who is less than three years old.
——Obviously, even if Albert explicitly gave up his inheritance rights, his words at this time would not count.
So he ran away directly. He used magic to change his appearance, changed his name to the bard "Yunus", and relied on rewards and performance fees to travel around the country, helping the poor and pitiful people. He perished in Avalon.
After that, he also went to the Theocracy. Whenever Isabel met him when she was in the team, his voice was very exaggerated, as if he was singing - he was still a pretty popular funny character at that time.
It wasn't until a later side plot that the players learned that "Yunus" was Prince Albert. He wanted to rescue Isabel who was in danger, but because he was so incompetent, he caused even greater trouble -
—It was already the plot of 2.0 at that time, Isabel was almost level 40, and Yunus was less than level 30.
After finally solving the task, he told the truth.
It was only after he ran away that he realized what he had done was not right. But he did not dare to go back. He could only try his best to do good things and help others to make up for the guilt of escaping responsibility. And in Avalon, he returned
During his time in the country, the popularity he accumulated among the people also played a big role.
Because of this, Aiwass never considered the possibility of Albert's succession.
——When he knew that Andrew was dead, he immediately knew that Isabel would become the next generation's queen. So Aiwass was actually quite happy at the time, but he just didn't dare to show it in front of the Great Guardian.
"The situation is not complicated."
The Great Guardian said to the two young men: "You should know that the twenty ancestors of the founder's family are now apostles of the Silver Crowned Dragon, right?"
Aiwass and David nodded.
This is common sense to them.
"However, His Majesty Lancelot, who is also the founder of the country, did not actually ascend to the dream world and become the apostle of the Silver Crowned Dragon."
At this moment, Aiwass was suddenly shocked by the words of the Great Guardian: "He is actually still alive, because he can never let go of everything in the material world. The body is kept in St. Guinevere's Chapel, while the soul is in the shadow."
Training in the kingdom... is a kind of phantom. Occasionally, you can meet other colleagues who have become apostles in the dream world.
"As long as the blood of twenty-one Du Lac who died in murder can be resurrected, the ancestor will be resurrected. He will descend into his body again, holding the holy sword Alondette awakened by the blood and releasing the seal - he
It will become Avalon's invincible sword. If anyone thinks that Avalon is weak at this time, or chooses to betray Avalon at this time...then they will encounter a surprise.
"In fact, we really don't know who the curser is... because our ritualist has blocked all possibilities of non-contact curses three years ago, so that the other party can only use catalyst curses. In order to kill instantly
If a person dies and we have no time to save him, a large number of catalysts must be used to arrange a long-term ritual. From then on, we almost knew what the problem was."
Curse catalyst - that is, things like blood, hair, nails, underwear.
"Because despite deliberate destruction, the person who can still obtain a large amount of royal family members' catalysts for a long time is most likely other royal members. This is the reason why the royal family has never conducted an in-depth investigation. Because some people have indeed been poisoned...
"
The Great Guardian has a profound meaning: "If the purpose of the curser is to exterminate the royal family of Avalon, or just to let Princess Isabel succeed to the throne, then he should go from easy to difficult. It is impossible to skip the easy to curse.
People use poison to kill people who are not easily killed by the curse - for example, Prince Cornette, who shaved his head to prevent the curse, so he was poisoned to death.
"Meg has always stubbornly believed that that person might be Prince Andrew - in fact, she also has no evidence, she just intuitively thinks that there is something wrong with him. And we actually have our own doubts... For example, I once said
I doubt Prince Albert. But now it seems that Meg’s guess is correct.”
"After all, Andrew died of a heart burst..."
Her Majesty the Queen sighed: "I don't hope it's him either. But it seems there is no other possibility."
Aiwass also suddenly reacted...his heart burst, which was a symptom of the Heart-killing Curse.
This curse requires blood from the fingertips and the blood from the middle fingers of both hands.
Generally speaking, this is very difficult to obtain. It is generally used to punish those who break the contract in the terms of the contract, and to imprint the curse into the contract when pressing the fingerprint.
This is probably why people are generally not very sad...some people become serious and some people become relaxed.
After all, everyone knows that no matter who inherits the throne among the remaining three, there is actually not much difference.
The cause of Prince Andrew's death is basically proof that the curser stabbed his collaborator in the back and completely erased the evidence.
Aiwass also understood why the quest line of tracing the curse in the game was closed after the death of Prince Andrew; until the Queen was assassinated at the banquet a year later, there was no further pursuit of the curse. This matter could not be solved directly.
That’s it.
It turns out that the upper echelons of Avalon actually knew that the curse was over... and it would be difficult to get reliable evidence if they wanted to trace it. Since the other party cursed Andrew to death, they should have probably retreated.
"If it is not broken, it cannot be established."
The Queen said softly: "Avalon's path is too single, and I have tried my best to change it. But it's still too late... I think they took action now because I chose to change.
"In more than twenty years... no, at most ten years, Avalon's ritual and curse technology will be restored. They realized that if they didn't take action, it would be too late. That's why they took action now
, chose the most brutal method to weaken Avalon."
Her expression was serious and solemn: "But the blood of Du Lac will not be shed in vain. We are the descendants of the dragon slayer... If you want to destroy us, you will have to bear our anger.
"Before this, there were only three people who knew about this matter besides me. I will also tell Meg and Arius about this matter later... Both of them are from civilian backgrounds, and they don't know about Avalon."
Shadow' this ceremony."
It was also at this time that Aiwass could truly realize that... this seemingly kind and kind old lady was indeed a rational and ruthless monarch.
For the sake of Avalon's future possibilities, she was able to endure the royal family being cursed one by one.
In order to draw out the rebels within, in order to resurrect Avalon from the ashes...
Reminiscent of the previous contact between the Silver Crowned Dragon and Her Majesty the Queen.
... Could it be that the destruction of Avalon was the Silver Crown Dragon's plan?
Fake death, right?
But in that case, there is no need for the Queen to really be assassinated... Could it be that she was really assassinated? But, who would know that the Queen is the last step in the ceremony...
And, let’s talk about it.
The Shadow of Avalon seems to be a version that was opened as a sacrifice by Isabel's brother...
Aiwass was suddenly startled and remembered another thing.
——He can't let the Queen complete the "Shadow of Avalon" ritual at this time!
Because there was something wrong with this ritual, it was not Lancelot who came, but Scathach, the Queen of the Kingdom of Shadows!
