"I guess Ms. Blood Diamond should have rewarded you with a magic potion that can extend your life...right?"
Aiwass asked with a smile: "But you didn't use it. You're lucky."
"...Yes, a bottle of amber magic potion that can extend your life for three years and gain the first level of Dusk Path."
Drost nodded with an ugly expression: "Fortunately, I hesitated..."
In fact, it was not hesitation - the trembling of the real fire made Drost immediately change his mind: "To be precise, it was because I had already embarked on the twilight path and felt that I could extend my life by my own strength. And I felt that I couldn't trust them to follow me.
The medicine was said to be effective, so I presented this medicine as a 'birthday gift purchased from overseas' to Her Majesty the Queen..."
No wonder……
Avas suddenly understood.
Therefore, Queen Sophia, in the world line of Aiwass, does not seem to have that close relationship with Droste; but in the entrance CG of this promotion ceremony, her trust and intimacy with Droste are even comparable to
Aiwass of the main world——that is the level of absolute trust that regards Drost as "unique".
Because without that bottle of medicine, the Queen would have died of natural causes in the winter of 1898.
Sophia knew her own body, that's why she believed in Droste so much. Her body could no longer bear it, and it was impossible for her to survive until the autumn of 1899.
And Drost's tribute is like the guilt after cheating on his lover.
He knew that he had committed treason, so perhaps intentionally or subconsciously, he wanted to make some compensation for this...
...From this point of view, Drost's brainless actions almost disrupted everyone's plans.
From Star Antimony to Avalon, their plans were all turned into muddy water. Before that, Star Antimony's prophets may have noticed that the queen's life was approaching, and they originally only needed to deceive the weak and naive Isabel, and pass
Droste and Lloyd come to control her.
That's why they laid out the plan at Lloyd's - if they planned to assassinate Queen Sophia from the beginning, the layout at Lloyd's would be meaningless.
But just because Drost gave a bottle of life-extending potion given to him to Queen Sophia, the Star Antimony people's plan was directly disrupted-their economic problems were already serious in 1898, "King
"The so-called alchemists squeezing the living space of botanists happened in the spring of 1898.
As a result, it was delayed until 1899, and Queen Sophia was still not dead.
She may even have reached the level of the Dusk Path, with the ability to extend her life independently, and she can live for many more years... From the imported CG, her physical and mental conditions are obviously better than the "One" in the Aiwass world line.
"Years ago" was much stronger. He didn't need help when he walked, and he didn't even breathe when he spoke.
That's why she didn't train Isabel's abilities, nor was she prepared to find an assassin to kill her and activate the Shadow of Avalon ritual.
In the world line of Aiwass, she had already asked Isabel to accept government affairs when she was about to die.
Because Sophia felt that her health was getting better, she wanted to do it herself again.
As a result, the Star Antimonians were forced to come up with a new plan - to assassinate Sophia and replace Isabel.
Avalon is recovering, but Star Antimony can no longer hold on.
...Only in terms of results, it was delayed for an extra year because of Drost's unconscious actions. As a result, even if Star Antimony captured Avalon, Star Antimony still split in the end.
All this is because in the years when the economy was not good, the conflicts in various regions of Xing Antimony have become too serious.
——Thinking of this, Aiwass couldn't help but feel a little ridiculous.
It turns out that the subjugation of Avalon and the division of Star Antimony were only due to an inexplicable move by Drost...
A "little man"...although not very small, his unintentional actions directly changed the entire world situation.
It is simply a vortex of coincidence. Or it can be said to be the source of all evil.
It was precisely because of his unconscious actions that all the coincidences spread, causing everyone to be unfortunate...
It was precisely because Aiwass killed him in advance that this did not happen.
"...It's really interesting."
Aiwass sighed and shook his head slightly.
The question that has troubled me for a long time has finally been answered.
He raised his head, smiled at Drost, and said very tolerantly: "Very good, I now allow you to ask me a question.
"But just to be clear...if I didn't want to answer the whole question, I wouldn't say anything at all. Then this question would be a waste."
... Drost felt that "this lord" was becoming less and less pretentious.
Your current tone is no longer similar to "Aiwass", right?
"Hurry up," Aiwass said coldly, "your time is running out."
"If you have a question..."
Droste immediately began to think.
——Are you Aiwass Moriarty?
No, definitely not. This question is too stupid and a waste...
So……
——When did your noble will descend on this body?
No, it still doesn’t work…
Drost thought quickly and finally settled on one sentence: "Who are you?"
The corners of Aiwass' mouth raised slightly.
He laughed happily, as if he was finally relieved.
"Some people call me, Awas Moriarty."
Aiwass said slowly: "But some people in Star Antimony will call me...
"—Aleister Crowley."
The candle flame did not waver at all.
It's the truth.
Droste blurted out: "The Crowley family where Earl Crowley belongs?!"
"Yes, that's Crowley."
Although it was already the second question, Aiwass still nodded tolerantly in response.
The candlelight still did not waver.
——It turned out to be the family of Earl Crowley!
Droste felt suddenly enlightened.
The Crowley family is a very powerful family of demonologists, and can even be said to be one of the head families of the "demonologists" force. In the royal family, it represents the alchemist, the red phase represents the witch and the son of the moon, and the black phase represents the alchemist.
In the case of prophets and necromancers, Crowley and other demon families jointly represent demonologists.
Although there are no world-class powerhouses like the Red Phase and the Black Phase, each family has fifth-level extraordinary beings. When they unite, they can fight against other forces.
The Carl family of General Leo Carl who came this time is also one of several demon families.
They are not completely subordinate to the royal family, and they are not so close to the red phase and the black phase. That’s why he came to his side to inquire about information, so he didn’t know the whole story about the matter, so he
Against them…
The slight doubts that arose because "Aiwass" asked too detailed questions were now completely dispelled.
As for how "Aleister" entered Aiwass' body... Drost didn't know, but he didn't dare to ask. Maybe it was some secret of the Crowley family... Anyway, he was definitely Crowley
The person related to Earl Lee is right!
"Mr. Crowley!"
Minister Drost immediately knelt to the ground: "Please save me! I am willing to sign a contract with you!"
"Can."
Aiwass replied simply.
His eyes were deep: "I can keep you, as long as I have the final say... I can also prevent Blood Diamond from touching you. You can still go to Star Antimony, to your Drost Manor,
When your Viscount Droste goes, I will never stop you.
"But that depends on your sincerity - what you had before is not enough."
"...What do you want?"
Drost asked cautiously.
This time, Aiwass didn't say anything like "I don't lack anything."
He gave a very clear price -
"I want Diomedes."
Aiwass tapped his fingers on the armrest and said calmly: "Right now. I want him to be useful."
"...But, that is to protect the Drost family..."
"The guardian spirit can also be transferred. As long as you accept me as your adopted son, and then voluntarily give up the surname Drost, and transfer the position of the head of the family to me. As long as you give up the surname Drost, you can transfer the guardian without dying.
Elf."
Aiwass raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said in a persuasive manner: "You can't take the guardian elves of Avalon given to you by the Theocracy to Star Antimony anyway, right? That's only a matter of a few months... You're safe here, right?"
As for giving up my surname... I won't give it to the newspaper, and no one else will know, right?"
Seeing Drost's eyes falling into confusion and hesitation, Aiwass gave him no room to think.
He closed his eyes lazily and casually ordered: "Okay, go get the ceremony paper. I said, you write."
"...Yes, Mr. Crowley."
Drost finally made up his mind.
——Just sell Diomedes to him.
I don’t know what he will do with Diomedes...but if it is an order that threatens the life of the guardian elf or imprisons the other party’s freedom, the guardian contract will be automatically terminated. This was what Diomedes said when Drost was a child.
Words of warning to him.
...Maybe "Aleister" will be devoured to death because of this. Drost thought darkly.
Even if he really won't have any use for Diomedes after arriving at Star Antimony, and may even have to find a way to get rid of Diomedes... But having such a valuable thing taken away from him still makes him heartbroken.
Blood.
"It's not Mr. Crawley, it's Miss Crawley."
Aiwass squinted his eyes and said leisurely: "'Aleister Crowley' is a woman. Don't make a mistake. If you make a mistake, the contract will not take effect."
"Yes, beautiful lady."
Minister Drost said respectfully: "I'll come as soon as I go."
——What are you so proud of, bitch!
Seeing that he seemed to be out of danger and suffered heavy losses, Minister Drost said harshly in his heart.
But Aiwass just smiled silently and looked at Drost quietly.
That gaze made his scalp tingle - she couldn't read minds, could she?
Seeing Drost leave the queen's palace in a somewhat embarrassed manner, Aiwass walked slowly to the floor-length mirror.
He stroked the mirror and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
"We have gained another powerful fighting force."
Aiwass said to himself: "Is this what it feels like to speed through the second week with a guide..."
I have to say, it's a bit cool.
And soon, his soft palm turned into a fist and lightly hit the mirror.
Guardian Elf, Diomedes.
He doesn't need to be defeated or killed at all.
——Because he is the highest-level resource that can be obtained from the NPC "Minister Drost" in the promotion ceremony!
