"You asked me to go to the Round Table Hall for a meeting again? This is the third time."
Aiwass repeated softly and couldn't help laughing: "It seems that I really can't withstand the pressure."
Ligeia was also helpless: "You put too much pressure on them. The atmosphere in the Round Table Hall is more serious now than when the Iris people came in."
It was already December 30th, five days had passed since Queen Isabel succeeded to the throne.
Isabel's tour to several big cities is almost over, and today is the last day. She can return to Glass Island early tomorrow morning, and she can still catch up with the end of the year.
Sherlock has already written letters to Aiwass and his brother, saying that he will not come back to celebrate the New Year this year.
January 1st in this world is the New Year of Avalon, and there will be a candle ceremony at that time. The host of the ceremony is the highest-ranking bishop of the Theocracy in Avalon, Bishop Samuel Mathers.
After the candle ceremony is over, Queen Sofia's funeral will be held the next day.
After the funeral, Isabel can rearrange her Privy Council and ministers.
Because of this, the pressure inside the Round Table Hall is increasing.
When Aiwass deliberately let out some news from the ministers of Camelot, saying that "half of the ministers would be replaced" this time, those ministers were very nervous. They eagerly wanted to communicate with Aiwass in advance.
ventilation.
——The knights can easily figure out this fact.
Because Isabel is not in the Palace of Silver and Tin at all now, how did this news come out?
That could only have come from Aiwass.
In other words, Aiwass can at least influence the ministerial candidates decided by Queen Isabel.
Since he has the confidence to say such things, the Cavaliers have to raise their standards for judging Aiwass again.
From "a young boy" to "the vixen who charms the queen", then to "the ruthless character who cannot be offended", now he has finally reached the recognition of "a thoughtful and powerful minister".
And Aiwass would take the initiative to make such remarks... In the eyes of the knights, it means that he must have some agenda.
It's nothing more than some benefits - the Moriarty family is not short of money, so they may want tantra books, holy objects, holy swords and the like.
But the problem now is that Aiwass doesn't see anyone at all, and he doesn't accept any gifts directed at him.
Aiwass kept all the gifts given to Isabel intact and waited for Isabel to come back to open them. In this case, they could not bribe Aiwass even if they wanted to.
When Isabel comes back and Aiwass meets Isabel, his decision to "abolish nearly half of the ministers" may never go back. And based on Isabel's trust in Aiwass, it is very likely that this matter will be forced
Implement.
Therefore, the ministers are very anxious and want to contact Aiwass, argue their interests with him, and persuade him to withdraw this decision; the knights on the other side are also very anxious - because they hope Aiwass will not withdraw this decision.
Most of these knights do not have any factions, or else they can barely be regarded as members of the high-rise faction, because they took some money from Lloyd's and voted in favor of some bills that were beneficial to businessmen. But they all
One thing they all have in common is that they have no real power.
These young knights are basically under the age of forty or fifty, and the younger ones are even in their early thirties. As a "member", they can be said to be very young. The vast majority of them are from Li
The arbitration hall is controlled by Jia; the remaining half are judges of the Judicial Yuan, and can also be regarded as half of their own people.
The Arbitration Hall requires a fourth-level guarantee to enter, and its main purpose is to serve as a talent reserve for the fifth-level "powerful people."
If one or two ministers occasionally resign, perhaps a civil servant can be promoted from among the subordinates and cronies of the symmetrical faction to maintain balance; but if a large number of ministers are eliminated, then in order to prevent imbalance, people from the Arbitration Hall or the Judicial Yuan will inevitably be transferred
come over.
There are twenty-one ministers in Avalon. Although there are only a dozen or so members from the Chocolate Faction, almost all of them are ministers; while the High-rise Faction has absorbed most of the remaining ministers.
The only one without any faction is the humble Chamberlain Mycroft - this is normal, after all, everyone knows that the Hermes family is a pure faction of the queen, and no one dares to bring him in. Then
It means directly recruiting a queen's spy into the small group, which is equivalent to recruiting the counselor into the dormitory group.
And if the policy promoted by Aiwas is implemented, there is no doubt that... even if the "nearly half" quota is only 50-50, then the high-rise faction will definitely be hurt. And with this piece of fat to fish for
, the knights of the Gaolou Faction who had no real power were moved. They also had less respect for the leaders of their own faction.
——In a few days, you may not still be ministers.
Maybe we will become ministers!
There is no doubt that this decision to eliminate half of the ministers is true. Although they seem to have convinced Aiwass now, they may not be able to maintain respect for Isabel.
Aiwass didn't need them to give him anything, and he didn't despise what these people had in their hands.
He has no shortage of money; he doesn't like the equipment; he already has enough occult knowledge.
Come to think of it, no one would dare to offer a woman to him.
From this point of view, Aiwass can be said to be the most difficult official to serve. He looks down on the one who is useless and is as picky as Party A who wants a colorful black one.
But actually, what Aiwass wants is very simple.
——That is their loyalty to Isabel.
When school starts again, Aiwass will go to the Theocracy. It will be about a month later.
I'm afraid he has to go to Star Antimony and accompany his tutor to take the archeology test. He won't be able to return to Avalon for at least half a year.
During this period, Star Antimony may self-destruct at any time due to the Ring of Ending ceremony, and it may also trigger a war.
He didn't want to be out there hunting and developing, only to look back and see that his home was gone. Isabel was gone too.
Only when the rear is stable, can he leave Avalon with peace of mind. And even with the restrictions of Mycroft and Camelot, and the watching of Ligeia and the Great Guardian, Aiwass can't leave too many weird thoughts.
of ministers.
It is inevitable to reshuffle Avalon's leadership.
If Isabel is willing, Aiwass hopes that he can take the lead in this matter.
——In a sense, this can be regarded as the job of HR.
Although I'm afraid there won't be such a big-name HR, one interview can directly determine the country's most senior leadership.
Before this matter comes to fruition, Aiwass will not meet with anyone. That may cause controversy, make his position less pure, and give others the opportunity to frame him.
In other words, Aiwass had a rare few days of rest.
You have to rest during the New Year!
Now Aiwass’s daily life is very regular——
When you wake up every morning, you first feed Shadow Demon, then pray to Si Zhu to restore mana, and then look at the files for Isabel. Although there is nothing, it can be used to wait for "Giving Wings of Freedom" to trigger to restore blood. In the meantime, accompany Yulia.
After doing math problems for a while, Aiwass' head hurt...
When the blood is full, feed the Shadow Demon a mouthful, and then have lunch; take a nap at noon and the blood will probably be full, then feed him another mouthful; read a book and study in the afternoon to restore the blood, and in the evening, after praying, return to the mouth and feed another mouthful, and then
Help Yulia sort out her homework for the day. Sometimes she feels in good condition, so she brings Shadow Demon over to feed her.
Shadow Demon now eats at least four times a day, more than Aiwass eats himself.
After feeding the shadow demon to cancel the skill, it is a yes.
Under this kind of cramming, the shadow demon's form has also obviously changed.
It's not that I got fat... but that I became fat.
The current Shadow Demon is like a puddle of mud and has no sound at all. Aiwass can control the Shadow Demon's body at will, and it is as if it is drunk and has no reaction.
If Aiwass hadn't been able to feel Shadow Demon's existence, he would have thought that Shadow Demon was brain dead - if the demon had a brain.
"Want to come and witness it?"
Aiwass invited Ligeia: "The evolution of the devil - you have never seen it."
Just as he announced Aleister's identity to Isabel and Ligeia, he also did not hide the secret of the pastoral law from Ligeia and Yannis. Because as long as he lives in the palace of silver and tin for a long time, this is certain.
Can't hide it.
"Is this tonight?"
Ligeia had obviously been looking forward to it for a long time: "Shall I call Yanis?"
"Okay, let's come together. Call Yulia too."
Aiwass replied cheerfully, but with a little regret: "It's a pity that Isabel and Sherlock are not here..."
"What kind of demon will Shadow Demon evolve into?"
Ligeia asked curiously: "Is this controlled by you?"
"It's me. But I don't actually need to control it."
Aiwass replied affirmatively: "Shadow Demon's current major sin mark is the mark of jealousy. And on this evolutionary tree, there is actually only one kind of demon that is higher than Shadow Demon and also controls the power of shadow.
"——That's the Night Stalker."
Six thousand words, updated!
Wuwuwu, it's a little late, kowtow, bang bang bang...
