Chapter 453 The fully automatic box opening machine is operating stably
It's like soaking in the bathtub and falling asleep, and like returning to the arms of my mother when I was a child.
In a faint sense of security, Isabel felt her consciousness gradually sinking into the sea of nothingness.
She could still vaguely feel the taste of Zuimeng Tincture lingering in her mouth, slowly infiltrating into her nasal cavity from the depths of her throat.
The mellow wine aroma is mixed with the fragrance of sesame and basil leaves, and you can also vaguely taste the very clear earthy smell.
——Like chewing the soil after a spring rain. Or boiling young asparagus and eating it with wine.
This thought suddenly came to Isabel's mind, and she was instinctively happy that she had found this metaphor.
When she woke up again, she found herself sitting in the third seat.
Isabel turned around and saw the familiar figure in the first position——
Wearing that pale white priest's robe, he leaned back casually on the back of the chair. His left arm rested on the armrest to support his chin, while his right hand was casually placed in front of him.
The flame butterfly was hidden in the cuff of his right hand - the little bits of fire made his cuff look like a bonfire with sparks spewing out.
Even though his face was blurry, Isabel easily recognized Aiwass's identity.
When it was confirmed that Aiwass was here, Isabel breathed a sigh of relief.
She is no longer as timid and fearful as she was at the beginning...if she were at that time, she would probably feel uneasy if she did not see Aiwass when she entered the venue this time.
But even so, it is definitely a good thing to be matched with someone you know.
That's better than cooperating with strangers - people who don't know the details, let alone their true nature. After the ceremony is over, they will basically never be seen again in this life.
Under such circumstances, if you trust them gullibly, you may be betrayed at a critical moment.
...But, isn't Sherlock here this time?
Isabel thought so and glanced around. As a result, she found that her worries had come true.
——Little Sherlock really hasn’t come in yet.
Although Isabel is quite confident in herself, she still thinks that Sherlock must be stronger than her.
If Sherlock can enter this promotion ceremony, she should be ranked lower than Sherlock.
Even if the order of seating in the promotion ceremony does not necessarily strictly represent the degree of strength, it is still an important reference.
Sandwiched between Isabel and Aiwass was a middle-aged man who sat upright and looked as calm and reliable as a rock.
His physique can be said to be strong, and his arms are even thicker than Isabel's thighs.
The man was very polite. After Isabel appeared, he did not look at her immediately to collect information with his impolite searching eyes. Instead, he closed his eyes and rested.
——Of course, you don’t need to close your eyes and rest your mind in a dream. This just means that you “have no intention of prying into other people’s secrets.”
Shortly after Isabel appeared, a new person suddenly appeared on her right.
It was an old man - he was dressed in Parthian style, with a white robe covering his hands and feet, and a white turban and scarf on his head.
Even in the promotion ceremony where his appearance was blurred, no specific features of his could be seen at all - his only exposed features were above the nose and below the eyebrows.
Isabel looked at him steadily, but frowned slightly.
...the Parthians?
Not quite right.
Nowadays, the promotion ceremony with Aiwas as the core has not been carried out, which means that most of the people participating in the ceremony are in Avalon, or even on the Glass Island. There are not many resting people on the Glass Island.
——Is it Mr. Iben?
Isabel had this thought in her mind.
The rest rite master who has been in the Palace of Silver and Tin since the time of Queen Sophia happens to be at the third level now.
Anyway, you will know when the time comes. Even if the promotion ceremony will blur the voices of the participants, some speaking habits will not change too much - Isabel is confident that she can recognize the identity of the other party.
But if it was Old Ibn, why did he wear Parthian clothes?
And Iben appeared so late... In Isabel's opinion, his power should be stronger than hers.
"Hello, my name is Lulu. I am a promoter of the path of beauty. I am good at assisting teammates and can provide benefits to my teammates."
Thinking about this, Isabel took the initiative to ask the old man beside her: "Old sir... what should we call him?"
Upon hearing her question, the man sitting on Isabel's left suddenly opened his eyes and looked over with some confusion.
The hunched old man just smiled and did not look directly at Isabel.
He lowered his eyebrows and replied meekly: "My name is Olive, Miss Lulu. I am a person who has transcended the road."
"——beyond the path?"
This was not what Isabel asked.
But the man sitting between Aiwass and Isabel suddenly asked.
His eyes were as sharp as an eagle, and he asked without hesitation, "There are not many legal transcendents in Avalon. Which side are you from? Or are you one of the illegal ones?"
"Looking at your dress, are you a stowaway?"
As soon as the man spoke these words, the other three people raised their heads and looked at him with silent and somewhat strange eyes.
But facing these looks, the man did not waver at all.
He ignored the looks of the other two, but first nodded slightly to Aiwass, who was wearing a priest's robe, and then said calmly: "You can call me 'pirate' - I am a third-level supervisor.
, I am good at scimitars, long swords, crossbows, unarmed attacks, and proficient in the fighting styles of 'protection' and 'challenge'. If you encounter a battle, I will be your shield."
Except for the first sentence, his subsequent words were all addressed to Aiwass.
"Pirates" are very clear about their purpose.
Whether it is the path of beauty or the path of transcendence, the details of their identities are still unclear.
They didn't seem to know each other, so they must be from two groups.
The "Pirate" couldn't immediately determine who was the good guy, so he went directly to "Fox", the highest-ranking and best priest present, and actively showed his favor to Aiwass.
No matter what, the priest must be one of his own. A third-level priest is already the lowest bishop.
And the young priest who is ranked so high shows that he has great hope of being promoted to the fourth level and becoming one of the few archbishops of Avalon.
And as a melee profession, he is also easily injured. The full moon ceremony of three into four, as long as it is not a random script of the path of wisdom, there is a high probability that there will be high-intensity battles...
So pleasing priests with powerful healing abilities has become his core strategy.
It just so happens that priests are usually not good at fighting. They always need someone to protect them - this can be regarded as everyone getting what they need.
And with the two key job roles of defender and healer, it is easy to recruit other teammates. In this way, they can become the active party.
...and quite smart.
Aiwass, who was sitting comfortably at the head of the table, raised his eyebrows with interest.
He sensed the other party's good intentions. Although he was not sure, the "pirate" seemed to have vaguely guessed Aiwass's identity.
"...Mr. Pirate, are you from the Supervision Bureau?"
Thinking of this, Aiwass asked warmly: "Can I know which city you are from?"
"I am from Shengxia County."
"Pirate" replied: "I was born on the seaside since I was a child."
It sounded true, Aiwass' intuition told him.
——But there is no doubt that this is a lie.
Aiwass immediately logically identified the opponent's biggest loophole - because the "pirate" was sandwiched between Aiwass, Isabel and Iben, he could only be on the Glass Island, and should not be far from the Palace of Silver and Tin.
.
Obviously, the pirates did not know that Isabel and Iben were on the Glass Island.
He thought they were in other parts of Avalon, so he subconsciously told lies like this to hide his real area. This sentence directly exposed his perspective.
This is actually quite normal.
Whether it is Minister Aiwass, Queen Isabel, or Ibn as the palace ritualist, their specific path levels cannot be known by a small inspection.
He can vaguely guess that "Fox" may be Aiwass from his age and aura, which is already very smart. There is no way he can directly guess from the third-level beauty path promoter.
He revealed the identity of their young queen - in his opinion, the queen's promotion ceremony must be protected by a large group of loyal royal elites.
Moreover, Isabel became a transcendent not long ago. She had seen the retribution when she first became a transcendent. She came into contact with the fourth level in less than half a year, which is basically impossible in the eyes of outsiders.
From this point of view, it can be judged that the "pirates" are not in the core circle of Glass Island.
Isabel was also silently analyzing the identity of the "pirate"——
The third-level supervisor is basically the strongest person in the supervisory role. According to his age, it is no surprise that he should be the director of supervision.
His sitting posture should indicate that he has a military background. But he is an inspector rather than a light cavalry, which shows that he is from the army. The inspector general on Glass Island, third level, male, middle-aged, was a soldier, and his nickname is
It's a pirate...
…is that Commissioner Kent from White Queen?
A name came to Isabel's mind.
When this idea came to Isabel's mind, her intuition told her that she was probably right.
It's not that she guessed correctly. It's just that Isabel has not seen many supervisors in person.
Among the supervisors she knew, there happened to be such a person who fit all the keywords.
...So, Sherlock is not here now, and there is one less person in their team. Do you want to tell Mr. "Pirate" his identity?
Isabel thought this in her mind and looked at Aiwass. Seeing Aiwass shaking his head slightly, she suddenly felt enlightened.
Aiwass doesn't want the "pirates" to know his identity... He is very confident. But Aiwass's character is to seek stability. He likes to unite the people he needs to unite - when he lacks strength, Aiwass
He was always good at gaining power from others. But now he took the initiative to give up the opportunity to directly tie the "pirate" to his side.
Is it because of the confidence given by Mr. "Olive"?
No, to be more precise...
It's because Aiwass believes that "pirates" may be opposed to the path of "beauty" or "transcendence", so for the sake of Mr. Olive's position, he does not want pirates to join his camp, nor does he want to rely on authority to force the other party to give up directly from the sidelines.
Promotion?
Isabel keenly captured Aiwass's thoughts.
——So, Mr. Olive is indeed Mr. Iben!
With just one sentence, Isabel instantly analyzed the true identities of the two teammates.
This made Isabel lick her lips with great satisfaction.
What a pity, Sherlock is not here.
Isabel felt a little regretful.
Sherlock said her reasoning lacked logic - but in fact, it turned out to be quite accurate!
When Isabel first came into contact with Sherlock from the promotion ceremony, Sherlock, who did not know her true identity, ridiculed her several times for being unsmart and illogical, and even said in front of Aiwass, "The ally of the path of beauty."
It's not reliable" - she kept it secretly in her heart!
Isabel can hold a grudge!
Since then, she has been quietly waiting for an opportunity to defeat Sherlock in an area where Sherlock is good at.
There is no need for Sherlock to admit defeat, as long as he is surprised or exclaims.
If I missed this time, I don’t know when the next time will be.
Sherlock could still accompany Aiwass to the Theocracy, but she could only stay in Avalon...
It would be nice if I wasn't the queen.
Or, if Avalon is gone...
Isabel suddenly had such a desperation in her mind.
But she shook her head suddenly to dispel the terrible thought.
Avalon was gone...she couldn't imagine what that would be like.
She only knew that it would make many people homeless and their lives worse than death.
