The secretary behind the Lord of the Navy sighed: "But don't you think it's a little too late to betray now? The best time is obviously before Captain Camus goes to Inspector General Edward.
"And if you really want to do it, I don't even think there is a need to keep copies. Because if this kind of evidence-type document is not the original, it will be difficult to be of much use, and betrayal is worse than complete betrayal.
"Also, I think it is better to hand over the documents to Minister Moriarty than to destroy the documents directly in front of him. Then the other ministers will think that they have obtained the documents, so they will attack Minister Moriarty in the newspaper. , but in the end they couldn't produce any evidence, and Minister Moriarty, who was well prepared, counterattacked immediately and forcefully. Only in this way can they be ensured to be destroyed.
"At the same time, it prevents Minister Moriarty from producing this document to prove our betrayal - offending so many knight families has the same result as offending the royal family, and they are both prices we cannot bear."
Sheldon leaned behind the old man and whispered: "And all we have to do is pretend to be stupid and show that we don't know where the documents went."
As Adjutant of the Navy, Sheldon also serves as Secretary Ramos' staff.
The old man was silent for a long time, lost in thought.
The gardening shears in his hand clicked down, cutting off branches one after another. Rather than having any design, it was more a matter of venting his emotions.
Finally, the old man sighed.
"...What you're saying is that it's too late to betray now. It doesn't look good either.
"Why don't we just do it to the end."
"——That's right."
An arrogant and cold female voice suddenly sounded from the open space, which made the old man frown suddenly.
His pupils turned a majestic silvery white, and he turned his head to look at the place where the sound came from.
"who!"
The old man shouted loudly: "[Come out]!"
On the one hand, he uses sound as a medium to release his legal skills [majesty and shock].
On the other hand, it is to let others hear your voice and take the opportunity to come to the rescue.
Although Minister Ramos is only the fourth level, he is still the Minister of the Navy - according to the characteristics of the authoritarian path, power itself can be transformed into strength.
The "majesty system" legal spell is different from the "punishment system" in that it does not require separate sentences for different crimes, but can only be used on people with a lower status than oneself. The greater the power and status gap, the better the spell effect.
——However, what surprised Minister Ramos was that his spell had no effect at all.
This means that the other party's status is equal to him, or even higher!
What emerged from the shadows was a tall woman the Admiral had never seen before.
She is no less tall than Old Dewes and has long hair as black as night.
Her pupils were as scarlet as blood, and there were blood stains on her lips. Her hair was not tied up, but hung casually behind her back. It was still a little damp, as if it had just been washed and had not been completely dried.
She wore a classic dress from the Star Antimony nobles. The black and red silk dress was extremely gorgeous, as if she was dressed up for a banquet. Her top tightly tied up her slender waist, while her lower body had a large whalebone skirt.
There was a black crystal inlaid silver cross hanging from the towering chest - Old Dewes recognized it at a glance, it was an ancient noble ornament from the Herasl Empire!
"Good day, Minister Ramos."
The woman chuckled gracefully.
Although his tone was respectful, he actually didn't salute him at all.
Even though she did not introduce herself, the Lord Admiralty already recognized her identity.
"...Miss Aleister?"
The old man looked solemn and subconsciously took half a step back.
——As the girl moved, the ground beneath her seemed to be corroded by a curse, spreading shadows like a swamp.
The erratic hounds, black cats, and crows loomed under her skirt, as if they were following her, or just an illusion.
"Does Aiwass know you are here?"
The old man said sarcastically. The implication was that Aiwass was her master and she should report to him before traveling.
The plan was eavesdropped by Aleister, which made his expression a little ugly. But among the many crises he had faced, it was not serious, so the old man could still remain calm.
"Of course he knows."
"Aleister" said lightly.
The corners of her mouth raised slightly, revealing an arrogant and evil smile.
She pointed to the corner of her mouth and whispered: "Guess...whose blood is this?"
"Are you...a vampire?"
Old Dewes's pupils shrank, and then he really felt nervous.
If this is Minister Moriarty's blood... then he is now...
The plan was suddenly disrupted by unexpected changes, which made him feel intensely uneasy.
"Well, this is just the first visit."
"Aleister" said elegantly: "I don't want this to be the last time..."
As she spoke, she took out a letter from her chest. She kissed it gently, leaving a bloody lip mark on the envelope.
She gave a charming smile and explained: "A gift - take a good look at it."
Then, she threw the envelope lightly. The secretary behind Old Dewes reached out and intercepted it.
At this moment, the sky suddenly became visibly cloudy. Because it was about to rain, Secretary Sheldon subconsciously put the letter in his arms.
But the old man suddenly changed his color.
He suddenly raised his head and looked at "Aleister" as if he understood something.
——The next moment, twelve silver-white light spears fell from the sky.
Each group of four fell on the old man, secretary and "Aleister" respectively, locking them all in place.
The roar of the griffin sounded, the pure white griffin.
A young figure fell from the sky and landed safely on the spot.
She looked to be only one meter tall - she had silver-white dragon horns and tail, and dark green pupils.
It is the new Grand Arbiter, who is said to be Meg's niece... Ligeia has never shown any power after inheriting the position of Grand Arbiter!
In Ligeia's hand, she was holding the silver scepter that symbolized the royal power of Avalon.
This scepter is all silver-white, with ridges like a spine, and at the top is a small white hilt, which should be an armrest for grasping. This makes it look like a
The sword hidden in the scabbard.
And a metal snake covered with runes is hovering on it, as if it is alive. It spreads its dragon-like wings near the top, but it does not have a snake's head... The link at the end of the snake's body is
, but it is a sharp tetrahedron, like a pyramid. The three outward faces have three green eyes opened at the same time.
Now the "snake head" is rotating and swinging as it pleases. The three eyes are blinking, moving around and looking in different directions.
Ligeia couldn't hold her hand on the armrest - because the scepter was even taller than she was!
She could only hold the upper middle part of the scepter, which made her look a little funny.
But the Lord Admiralty had to pay attention to the national scepter.
——That is an artifact that can almost elevate the level of extraordinary beings on the path of authority! Not only does it have the power of the sixth level, but its status is equal to that of the queen herself. The legal magic under the blessing of this lofty status is basically
Cannot be exempted.
When Meg holds it, she is the Meg who makes all countries fear her.
"Your Excellency the Grand Arbiter..."
The Admiralty thought for a moment and said in a deep voice what he wanted to explain.
"【Quiet】."
Ligeia said majestically: "[Before the reporters come, you are not allowed to say a word]."
The invisible power of authority spread, and he fell silent for an instant.
"——It came quite quickly."
But Aleister, who was also locked up next to him, just chuckled and interrupted his words. He didn't seem to feel nervous at all, nor was he ordered to shut up by Ligeia.
Sitting on the griffin was an old man of considerable age. He was wearing Avalon-style clothing, but the temperament of a man from a foreign country could still be captured from his facial features.
Old Dewes knew him.
This is Ibn, the court ritualist.
He was closing his eyes and muttering something. It seemed like he was performing some kind of ceremony.
...What is he doing here?
This left Old Dewes confused.
Immediately afterwards, a large number of reporters appeared outside - they were all reporters from the Glass Steps Newspaper and followers of Master Yannis.
They quickly set up their camera equipment.
And old Iben also woke up.
The Minister of the Navy clearly caught a hint of anger from Iben's expression...but Old Dewes confirmed that he had not offended him.
However, Old Iben's next words made his heart almost stop——
"Your Excellency, the Grand Arbiter, this is it! The ceremony showed that the prisoner who attacked Minister Moriarty is here! Another ceremony also completed the lock, and Aiwass disappeared only after arriving here!"
The Minister of the Navy only hesitated for a moment and then reacted immediately.
He defended loudly: "I don't know this person! I met her for the first time today. This is a conspiracy to frame me -"
"There is no need to explain anymore, Minister Ramos."
Miss Aleister sighed artificially and smiled helplessly: "They have already checked here. They must have completely grasped the evidence of our contact."
"-Who the hell is in contact with you, Aleister!"
The old man cursed loudly: "I just saw you for the first time today!"
Hearing this, Aleister's expression changed.
She pointed to the scepter in Ligeia's hand, her expression became cold, and she sneered: "Okay, then you tell it! Say that you did not betray your queen, and you did not accept the advice from Star Antimony.
Invitation, you didn't want to destroy my evidence, you didn't want to usurp His Majesty's power - tell me?"
In an instant, the Lord Admiralty was choked.
"As for me, I can say it openly."
Aleister faced the light of the spotlight in the distance, opened his arms gracefully, and showed a charming smile.
Just as the Admiralty wanted to say something, Ligeia glared at her: "[Quiet]!"
He was choked back for a moment.
And "Aleister" said leisurely: "I am the master of Shadow Demon, the 'Aleister Crowley' they call, the person who attacked and kidnapped Aiwass Moriarty...
He is also someone who loves him extremely. Now I am imprisoning Aiwass in a place that only I know. If you kill me, he will die with you.
"Listen up, everyone. I'm not an Avalonian, let alone an Iris person. But I don't think I'm a Star Antimony person either. If I had to give me a position - I think I should be an 'Empire'
.
"I am a noble of the Herasl Empire, with noble blood flowing, and blessed by the Pillar God!
"Every word of this is the truth. I ask the great arbiter to arbitrate for me in the name of the crowned master."
"——I arbitrate."
Hearing this, Ligeia raised her scepter and declared loudly: "It's all the truth."
"Aleister" turned sideways and looked at the Minister of the Navy with a smile, reached out and touched his neck and tilted his head slightly: "At this point, there is no need to do anything out of style, right, my dear Minister?"
The Lord Admiral looked at Aleister and then at Ligeia.
He sighed deeply, realized something, lowered his head and closed his eyes.
