Chapter 447 You’re already late, why don’t you skip class?
After being woken up by Xiong Tiansi's nightmare, he looked out the window and saw that the sky was already getting slightly brighter, so Aiwass simply stopped sleeping.
He changed out of his pajamas and put on a shirt, with a sleeveless woolen sweater on top, and then left the bedroom, wandering aimlessly in the Palace of Silver and Tin. The flame butterfly was landing safely on Aiwass's shoulder.
It looked like a candlelight in the still dark corridor.
As Aiwass walked, he vaguely heard the sound of piano flowing like spring water.
He followed the sound and found that it was Isabel's bedroom.
He smiled and nodded at the two Queen's guards guarding the door, then knocked lightly on the door.
Although the two elves were the Pope's guards, they looked like beautiful girls in their twenties. They looked much livelier than Oswald's group of elf housekeepers.
Although when they were guarding Isabel's door, they looked serious and almost holy. But when they saw Aiwass knocking on the door and couldn't help but smile, the solemn and heavy atmosphere was immediately broken. Their standing postures
Then he relaxed.
Compared with those old-fashioned and calm elf housekeepers, they are more like female college students who have just graduated. Although they are all about the same age as Ligeia, they have a kind of purity and innocence that has not been exposed to society.
As the music in the room stopped, Isabel's confused voice came: "Aiwass?"
"oops……"
"Your Majesty has guessed it."
They lowered their voices, laughed and teased in a low voice.
Aiwass ignored them, just smiled and put a finger in front of his mouth, then cleared his throat: "It's me."
Then, without waiting for Isabel to respond, Aiwass directly opened the door.
In Isabel's room, there are two papal guards quietly guarding the corner. They look slightly older than the two at the door, probably in their thirties, like younger female teachers. Their personalities are obvious.
He became much calmer. When he saw Aiwass coming in, he just nodded slightly and saluted him without any expression or words.
Isabel, on the other hand, was wearing a simple goose-yellow nightgown and sitting upright in front of the piano.
When she saw Aiwass entering the door, the corners of her mouth raised slightly unconsciously: "Aren't you curious how I guessed it was yours?"
"You can also be a little curious."
Aiwass smiled, lying on the sofa facing Isabel's piano, stretching lazily.
Isabel, on the other hand, gently pressed the keys with one hand, emitting a melodious and calm sound - a sound that reminded people of summer waves.
"Actually, it's because of the rhythm of your knocking on the door."
Isabel smiled and said briskly: "Knocking on the door is also a kind of music. I can also hear your mood and feel who is knocking on the door."
Aiwass tilted his head slightly and squinted his eyes. He supported his chin with one hand, rested his arm on the armrest of the sofa, and looked at Isabel.
At this moment, the sun was rising outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the golden rays of light shone on the side of Isabel's face, making her look as beautiful as a dream.
But what Aiwas paid most attention to was Isabel's bright eyes.
There was light in her eyes and a brisk and confident smile on her face.
Those were expressions and eyes that would never have appeared on Isabel half a year ago.
Aiwass couldn't see the distant Star Antimony, let alone how far the war at the junction of Narcissus and Black Eagle had developed. But Isabel's change and rebirth were very close at hand.
"Then what do you think I am thinking about now?"
Aiwass asked Isabel curiously.
He actually didn't quite know what he was thinking, because Aiwass felt like he wasn't thinking about anything. It was like a voice that was too subtle would fade to transparency.
But Isabel is always sensitive and can listen to the voices of others from these weak fluctuations.
She smiled and said: "Aiwass, your inquiry is like a child seeking divination... I am not talking about the real divination like asking fortune tellers and prophets, but students who have no ability to adapt.
We play tarot cards outside class, that kind of divination for self-entertainment.
"You are looking for understanding and comfort, right!"
"Then what is the result of the divination, my Lord Diviner?"
Aiwass asked with a smile.
Seeing Isabel's relaxed reaction, he knew the result would be good.
But Isabel's answer still surprised him: "You are eagerly seeking peace of mind. It's like the kind of person who has just finished the final exam and feels that he did well but is still a little uneasy, waiting for the results to be released.
The mood is the same."
"Indeed."
Aiwass nodded and approved Isabel's "divination".
Of course Isabel doesn't understand divination. But she understands people's hearts.
As she gradually understood and digested the third-level "Path of Beauty" ability, she finally gradually mastered the extraordinary power of "All-Around Talent".
Isabel was promoted so fast before that the application couldn't even keep up with the speed of level advancement.
This feeling is actually quite familiar to Aiwass. It's like a new player who chooses to advance directly, and with a "ding", the professional level of a certain path is raised to the level of ten short of full level... and then watch
With the sudden acquisition of a large number of skills and the large number of new functions unlocked, I feel a bit confused, as if I don’t know where to start.
Although he has become a third-level transcendent, his mentality, experience or application are actually not much different from ordinary people.
The director of the Supervision Bureau or elite supervisors, as well as the bishops of small places, are only at the third level. Even Shylock was actually only a third-level lawyer before he became a mage.
But their application of extraordinary abilities is obviously much better than Isabel's. The same energy level, the same extraordinary power, and even the same extraordinary skills, but the effects produced by different people are different.
...However, Mycroft deserves a lot of credit for Isabel's progress.
In the past month, Aiwass has not even dealt with government affairs.
Sherlock's brother, Mr. Mycroft Hermes, was promoted to the position of Minister of the Great Seal by Isabel at the first round table meeting after the state funeral.
Now he has been chartered to reside in the Palace of Silver and Tin - the "Seal Minister"'s bedroom is even next door to Aiwass's room.
Just as Aiwass said at the time: Isabel basically put the thick stack of documents directly into the box marked "Please leave it to the Minister of the Imperial Seal" every day.
When there are really important documents, Mycroft will definitely show them to Isabel for review - and Aiwass is usually by his side at this time, so he will read them together and give his opinions.
But based on the purpose of training Isabel, Aiwass no longer gives direct answers now. Instead, he heuristically asks Isabel for her opinion on how to deal with it, and then she handles it herself under Mycroft's advice.
Although some decisions were difficult, they were not painful. It was like being tutored one-on-one by a mentor to solve difficult problems. It was even quite challenging, which aroused her pride in her heart.
——All of this is completely different from the sense of determination that she had when she first came to the throne: "I will do my best and die".
As a queen, the pressure is actually less than when I was a princess!
It’s even a little relaxing!
This is all thanks to Aiwass who taught Isabel a crucial point - as early as when Isabelle first succeeded to the throne, Aiwass said to Isabel that being a queen is just like an actor on the stage.
As long as you stay awake, smile, keep your distance, speak reasonably, be likeable, be able to accurately portray the required attitude, and speak the appropriate lines fluently, you are already a very good monarch. But if you want to go further, just
As long as you can find and trust the wise ministers...the "wise ministers" will help solve the rest.
Aiwass is such a "virtuous minister", and Minister Hermes is a truly virtuous minister.
Although Mycroft complains about troubles every day and always wants to take a vacation, he is never careless when it comes to dealing with business, and he has no selfish desires.
There is nothing more trustworthy than a Dusk Path Extraordinary who is strict with himself and loyal enough.
After relaxing, Isabel can safely improve her abilities on the road.
If the first energy level breaks through the second energy level, the test is whether there is compatibility with this path; the second energy level breaks through the third energy level, the test is the learning ability corresponding to the extraordinary skills of the path...
Then to go from the third energy level onward, you need to be consistent with the path.
In this process, you may lose control because the path is deviated, or you may not be able to make progress because your mentality cannot match, or you cannot find your original intention. You may also be reversely brainwashed by the power of the path and become a crazy person.
Before Shylock graduated, the authoritarian path had already reached the third level. And now that he has been stuck for so long, the legal profession has never reached its peak, and he has not triggered the path impulse when the path is stuck at the level limit.
, precisely because he once lost his sense of authority and doubted his own path.
In this month, Aiwass, Sherlock and Isabel have all fully digested their own abilities - Aiwass is not bad, his adaptability to transcend the path has long been maxed out.
During this period of time, he mainly cultivated his aptitude for the path of devotion, quietly learned various knowledge from the school library, and practiced the blessing technique that he was least good at.
But Shylock and Isabel are different.
Shylock needs to concentrate on some research and solve some major cases before he can get feedback on the path of wisdom. But before that, the level lock on his authoritative path loosened on his own accord... He reached the limit without any training at all.
.
Probably because he truly reconciled with his past self and his parents, the restrictions he placed on himself were lifted.
Isabel, on the other hand, gradually developed her confidence through Aiwass.
"All-rounder" is a profession that can flexibly use the various abilities of the Path of Beauty - as a generalist profession, it highlights one thing that is sparse in everything. In this case, if different abilities cannot be used in a targeted manner, then
It is definitely much weaker than specialized professions.
So Aiwass used himself as a target and a "wooden stake" for Isabel to practice various abilities.
Gain, weaken, control, spell damage, treatment, illusion, protection, mind reading, suggestion, detection...
And Aiwass can always give accurate "modification opinions".
After all, Aiwass is not too unfamiliar with the profession of all-rounder.
He knows to what extent Isabel's various abilities are considered qualified, so even if Yannis leaves, Aiwass can still teach Isabel as usual.
——It can even be said that after Master Yannis left, Isabel's progress has become much faster.
It’s not because Yanis doesn’t teach well. It’s because Yanis is the kind of “teacher” who only lays the foundation for students, develops study habits, teaches learning methods and universal principles, the kind of “teaching people to fish” type.
.She did teach real "internal strength", but the effect was just not visible.
This is also a common problem of longevity species.
She always defaults to the fact that her student Isabel can endure loneliness and be calm, so she decides everything at the moment from the perspective of infinite perspective - fortunately, Isabel is like this.
Aiwas is exactly the opposite.
He is the kind of "consultant" who directly provides different solutions to different problems.
If Isabel does not take the initiative to raise questions and requests, he will not disturb her self-study rhythm; and if Isabel has questions, he will guide her carefully and teach her repeatedly until the problem is completely solved.
Isabel also enjoyed the one-on-one teaching process with Aiwass. For her, learning is not a kind of pressure or torture, but a kind of relaxation.
When Aiwass focuses all his attention and energy on himself, carefully calculating, thinking and giving suggestions, Isabel will feel that her heart has become unprecedentedly peaceful.
It's like walking in the forest in the early morning after a heavy rain... enjoying the comfort of the world seeming to slow down and the sky becoming clear.
And Isabel is not the kind of girl who pretends that she doesn't know how to do it even though she knows it clearly; nor is she the kind of student who just watches Aiwass get distracted and doesn't pay attention to the class.
In this focused and relaxed learning state...
It took Aiwass a month to train himself a gold medal assistant!
It is already February 12th, and the full moon ceremony is just a few days away.
After parting, they may not be able to line up together - even if Sherlock can accompany Aiwass to the Theocracy as Aiwass's subordinate in the Department, Isabel will definitely not be able to advance with them.
As a minister of Avalon, Aiwass certainly could not use his identity as a college student to go to the Theocracy.
His status in Avalon is too high... This time when he went to the Theocracy, he had to go to the Theocracy through formal diplomatic channels in the name of visiting, communicating, and studying regardless of the ministers.
This can also be regarded as Avalon's response to the close attitude of the Theocracy.
It can be said that Aivas is visiting the Eternal Pope on behalf of the Queen this time... In a sense, he is the ambassador sent by Avalon to the Theocracy. At the same time, he can also serve as a guarantee of peace, a proof of friendship, and a weight.
High enough hostages, as well as a deterrent to the Star Antimony people - if Star Antimony is really desperate and ready to attack Avalon, then Aiwass in the Theocracy can act as an instant sway.
Then you can’t come just when you want and leave just when you want.
At least I can't come back openly.
Therefore, Aiwass planned to advance to the fourth level with Isabel before leaving Avalon.
...The gold-medal support that I taught myself cannot not play in double queue at all, so let the support play solo!
After this promotion ceremony is over, they will probably all have to settle in the fourth level for a while. Once both parties have digested it, maybe Aiwass will come back... and then they can all be promoted to the fifth level together.
Although if you form a team with too many people, you may be punished by being absent from the ceremony, you still have to do your best to pull in a team of three.
Everyone else is doing it, but you don’t do it. Isn’t that a pure loss?
Maybe that's how Meg died in the original timeline - other countries can come up with several five-level and six-level transcendents with different paths, but Avalon only has the authoritarian path, so Meg can't even be trusted.
None of my teammates can be found.
Not to mention...the difficulty of the promotion ceremony from three to four is about to increase.
Even with a full moon ritual, failure and death may result in a death penalty.
In fact, it stands to reason that Aiwass should have gone to The Theocracy a long time ago. At least he should have gone last month.
According to normal diplomatic etiquette, Avalon should send the Queen's cronies there as soon as the war begins.
But Aiwass couldn't worry about Avalon on the one hand, and he couldn't trust Isabel on the other, so he stayed put.
...Fortunately, the Eternal Pope fell asleep again within two days after finishing his anger.
Since he didn't arrive as soon as possible, it would be considered rude... He would have to apologize when the Eternal Pope wakes up next time. On the contrary, Aiwass was not in a hurry for this moment.
Then it's better to drag Sherlock and Isabel to get promoted together before leaving!
Aiwass said, "I'm already late anyway, so I might as well just skip class."
