Alice felt a little unbelievable when she heard what the master assassin said:
"...But that Aiwass...if I remember correctly, he is not yet twenty years old! How could he..."
"But it is also true that he has become a cardinal now. Becoming a cardinal is much more difficult than defeating the succubus."
"However, cardinals should all be good people... If they abuse their charm ability, the Theocracy will probably not accept them..."
Alice murmured.
She suddenly thought of something: "Oh, by the way! Isabel - if he is a 'succubus', is Queen Isabel also controlled by him?"
"Why not?"
The master assassin asked: "Use your brain more, Alice. Be imaginative and don't be confused by the shadow of common sense... Queen Isabel does not have the willpower that the authoritarian path gives people, and she has no resistance to charm.
. Her ability to be charmed by Emma is proof of that.
"If she can be charmed by Emma, why can't she be charmed by Aiwass who is better than Emma for a long time?"
"...You mean that Aiwass, who was less than twenty years old, mastered advanced divine arts, charmed the Queen of Avalon, counter-charmed and defeated Emma of Star Antimony, and then became a cardinal of the Theocracy.
Bishop? This is unbelievable, Mrs. Honey Badger.”
Alice shook her head repeatedly.
But the woman known as the honey badger just stopped suddenly. The silent man holding the camera also stopped at the same time.
She calmly turned around and looked at Alice with the cameraman.
"——You are covering him, why?"
"……What?"
Alice was startled for a moment.
The honey badger said expressionlessly, putting his hand on Alice's slender neck: "You have been saying good things about him. Do you have a crush on him?"
"I……"
Alice's pupils trembled.
She looked at the honey badger in fear, her legs shaking uncontrollably: "No, I didn't..."
"You are most likely being manipulated by him."
Mrs. Honey Badger said seriously: "Do you feel it? You swear."
"...No, I didn't. Really not, I swear I wasn't charmed by him..."
"Tell a lie I know."
"I've never smoked, really."
"Tell me one more thing that I know is true."
"I wanted to fuck that bitch Yina to death, but she actually snitched on me."
"Criticize Aiwass."
"He...he is really nothing. He actually controls the Queen of Avalon..."
After Alice said this, the honey badger released her slender and cold fingers.
At this time, Alice covered her neck, and her face, which was originally fair enough, was now almost pale.
She was panting heavily, and she felt a lingering coldness on her neck. It was as if someone had just touched it with the blade of a dagger.
"You're fine for now."
The honey badger said coldly: "If you notice any fluctuations in your thoughts in the future, come to me as soon as possible. Otherwise, you will know the consequences."
"I...I will..."
Alice's voice was trembling.
"Stand still, Alice. Don't speak in this tone outside. Don't have such big fluctuations in expressions and movements when speaking - if you do this again, I will ask your tutor to return the goods - this kind of task is simply not possible.
It should be given to a rookie like you. If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t even know you were fascinated by Aiwass.”
Mrs. Honey Badger looked at Alice and sighed. She reached out and adjusted Alice's collar casually as a not-so-effective comfort.
"But……"
Alice still subconsciously wanted to defend Aiwass.
After being glared at by the honey badger, she shut her mouth helplessly.
——From the perspective of common sense and rationality, it is impossible! Arranging such a conspiracy at the age of eighteen is too exaggerated!
Seeing that Alice was still a little unconvinced, Honey Badger sighed and rubbed her head dotingly.
"You still don't know very well," the honey badger said softly, "In fact, we think...Aiwass is most likely not human."
"Not...human?"
Alice immediately realized what the honey badger meant: "Is he...replaced by the Moonchild?"
"When he was in Avalon, one of our spies smelled a very faint stink of the Moonchild when he passed by him."
The honey badger's cold silver-white eyes stared at Alice: "And I... I smelled this smell clearly just now.
"And it's not too bland."
As a master assassin and a vampire hunter, the honey badger is extremely sensitive to the smell of the Moonchild.
"Since he is the son of the moon, then everything is right-"
Honey Badger said firmly.
Precisely because he is the son of the moon, he can learn advanced magical arts that short-lived species cannot learn.
It is precisely because he is the son of the moon that he realizes that Chloe is hiding in the shadows - it is almost impossible for anyone to detect Chloe hiding in the shadows, even if the other person's energy level is higher than hers.
Because people who don't know about shadow sneaking have no way of thinking in that direction.
Just like untrained ordinary people, they will not immediately look up and look above themselves after entering a room, nor will they immediately look back to check the blind spot when walking around a corner.
That's not just invisible, it's a "psychological blind spot."
By achieving miracles that are absolutely impossible for ordinary people, they hide in the blind spots of common sense and are confused by the phantom of common sense.
Only the Sons of the Moon, their old enemy, have rich knowledge and can know their secret technology. And the Sons of the Moon happen to be related to Eternal Ego.
Although the Son of the Moon is the descendant of the Banquet Master and Sister Sasha, there is a theory that Xue Tiansi is actually the descendant of the Banquet Master and Hengwo. He only uses Sasha, a human womb, to give birth to offspring. Through this method,
Avoid mortal sin.
Then it is normal for the Moon Son, who is adaptable to the path of devotion, to sign a contract with Eternal Self.
Same reason.
Since Aiwass is the Son of the Moon, he can put Avalon's political situation in order in a short period of time, and he can play around with the old-fashioned knights and greedy businessmen. Even Lars Graham's assassination failed.
...This all makes perfect sense.
Even the Hawkeye organization has heard about the true identity of "Miss Aleister" with whom he has an ambiguous relationship.
The legendary Countess Vignes Emile Zola Bayard.
The last generation owner of the large consortium "Bayard Group" - one of the three major consortiums in the Herasl Empire and the largest investor in Arc Moon Manor.
According to the records of the Hawkeye organization, she was most likely transformed into a Moonchild before she disappeared.
Because she also participated in the last carnival at Arc Moon Manor.
——Both are the sons of the moon who have been watching for a long time. It is normal for the two of them to have some ambiguity, isn't it?
"I'm afraid, the real Aiwass died in that demonologist's sacrifice ceremony long ago."
Honey Badger coldly analyzed: "So since then, his personality has changed drastically and he has grown up rapidly.
"James Moriarty, the adoptive father who was familiar with the old Aiwass, was also killed by him after that. Housekeeper Oswald was also expelled by him - previously he was reluctant to let his sister Julia leave home, but
After that, he threw her into the palace of silver and tin.
"What does the Palace of Silver and Tin mean? It is the residence of Queen Isabel, the chess piece he charmed. Because of this, it is actually a prison - it is even possible that Yulia has also been charmed by him."
"But……"
Alice still didn't understand: "Even if the Avalonians didn't discover Aiwass' conspiracy, could it be that the Theocracy..."
He is more or less a cardinal!
The Star Antimony people just assassinated the Queen... so many of the Queen's guards were sent there...
"Yes, yes! And the Queen's Guards——"
"Even if they arrive in Avalon, they will not be able to find traces of the queen being charmed before. At most, they can only prevent Aiwass from continuing to exert new control over the queen. Perhaps because of this, Aiwass stayed away from Avalon and
Went to the Theocracy. There is also a possibility that the Queen has gradually lost control, so she sent the fake Aiwass here."
The master assassin codenamed Honey Badger sneered: "As for the Theocracy, they are all good people... Don't forget that the person who commissioned us here to assassinate the Saint is also a cardinal. You don't need to participate in the mission, but my
The task must continue to be completed.
"If we were really good people, we wouldn't be here. The Theocracy is also a country, and as long as it is a country, it must be dirty. Because of this, it is necessary for our Eagle Eyes to exist.
"I know you have a high impression of him... He is indeed very handsome and polite. But that is just a disguise.
"Since he is the Son of the Moon, we must kill him - this is Hawkeye's fate."
"But...are we going to kill Aiwass in front of Queen Isabel?"
"Do not be silly."
The honey badger sneered: "That's a fake, her weight is different from Queen Isabel. It must be an illusion disguised by some kind of vampire trick of the Path of Love."
"According to the report of our spies, the real Isabel was still in the Palace of Silver and Tin last night."
"In other words...my photo is meaningless?"
Alice was immediately extremely disappointed.
"Yes," the honey badger commented sharply, "I suggest you destroy them to prevent them from causing disaster."
"...No, I'd better stay."
After hesitating for a long time, Alice shook her head and rejected the senior's suggestion.
Consider it a souvenir.
It is impossible to publish it in the newspaper.
But maybe in the future, it will have some value...
