As soon as Aiwass returned to the Palace of Silver and Tin, he became tired of Isabel.
It was April 25th, exactly two months after Isabel became pregnant.
Although normally, for safety reasons, you cannot have sex at this time...but Isabel is too clingy.
It was the first time they had sex, and as soon as they tasted the taste of meat, Aiwass left Avalon; and until he learned that he was pregnant, Aiwass was still hanging on the top of the giant tree in the Theocracy and fell into a deep sleep.
During this period of time, Isabel gradually grew into a qualified queen. But this does not mean that she has truly become a ruthless and tearless "iron-blooded queen", but that she has suppressed her delicate and changeable emotions.
Deep in my heart.
Longing, love, grievance, loneliness... When she first drank late at night, she did it so that she could meet Aiwass in her dream. But then it became a habit - because even in a dream, she could not be stable.
Met Aiwass.
The risk of drinking alcohol during pregnancy, especially in the early stages of pregnancy, is very high. In order to eliminate the adverse effects on the fetus, Isabel needs to take additional very bitter potions to maintain health. But even so, she can't help but drink.
Because if she didn't drink, Aiwass or Aleister might not be able to find her one day when they wanted to find her; and later on, drinking truly became her way of relieving loneliness.
Now Isabel has not touched any wine, but her cheeks that are so red that she is neck-deep seem to be drunk.
——Fortunately, Aiwass himself is a fifth-level healer. He has many ways to eliminate the subsequent adverse effects and help Isabel truly relieve her physical discomfort.
No matter whether it is bishop-level lighting, rituals, potions or alchemical mixtures, Isabel can't be truly cured. But for Aiwass now, this is just a piece of cake.
That's why.
When Ligeia wagged her tail and entered the bedroom, she was so calm when she saw Aiwass and Isabel under the quilt.
"It seems you had a good time."
She even had the leisure to joke and said: "The little girls standing guard outside are all blushing!"
"She's a little girl," Aiwass said calmly, "any one of them would be older than you."
"Hey, you can't say that. Even if you raise a dog until it is two or three years old, it can understand human speech better than a four or five-year-old pup. The characteristic of short-lived breeds is precocious wisdom."
Ligeia said with a smile: "And I am the old dog - tucking Your Majesty in the quilt to prevent others from catching cold."
Aiwass tucked in the quilt, then put on a shirt, then stood up and asked: "Your Excellency, the Grand Arbiter - what are you doing here?"
When he changed his name, he wanted to talk about business.
And Ligeia is also a human spirit. She naturally understands what Aiwas means.
"Good boy!"
Ligeia praised: "It's much neater than before - I just came to ask you, what are those things on your boat for?"
"Consecrated Griffin Armor," Aiwass said seriously, "I brought back more than a thousand sets."
"What is that?"
Ligeia asked curiously.
It's not a compliment - she who was born as a commoner really doesn't know.
"You must know the consecrated mercerized cotton, which is the raw material of the Theocratic country's specialty stockings. The full name of the holy water is also 'consecrated pure water'. This is a special processing method unique to the Theocratic country."
Aiwass patiently explained: "This is the key reinforcement I brought to the Griffin Knights."
"Aimed at demons?"
Ligeia guessed it easily.
She was a little surprised: "I thought you would dismantle the turrets on the warships and give them to the griffons... but you would actually give them armor?"
Obviously, Ligeia knew about the glorious achievements of the "Cruel Preacher". That fully equipped cannon was so amazing that it shocked not only the devils, but also other human countries who saw this scene directly or indirectly.
.
Ask yourself, it is currently impossible for the armies of all countries to break through the firepower network of the "Cruel Preacher". In other words, this ship can complete the epic challenge of "destroying a country with a single vehicle" under extreme conditions.
And Ligeia would naturally be interested in that kind of magical device that could shoot a scorching laser over ten kilometers away by injecting mana into it.
"I've also found someone to make a replica of that thing, but it's not for the Gryphon Legion. Because that device must be controlled by a bishop-level priest, so it's not really suitable for the Gryphon Legion that is on the path to authoritarianism.
.”
Aiwass explained: "The Griffin Legion will be the main force against demons, so the resources of the entire Theocracy must be concentrated."
"Why the Griffin Legion?"
Ligeia was very surprised: "Where are Narcissus's Mage Legion? And Horus's Sun Chaser Legion. These are the top combat forces in frontal combat, right?"
This is not because she is timid, but because she knows the strengths and weaknesses of the Griffin Legion too well——
The Gryphon's strength is its ability to easily break through several times the speed of sound.
There is no need to forcibly break through the sound barrier. The resistance of the air can even be used as motivation for the griffins, the darlings of the storm. Looking at the entire material world, the race with the fastest average speed is undoubtedly the griffon.
However, griffins have no spellcasting ability and do not know magic. Although they can spit thunder and lightning, their power is limited - after all, they can only store so much mana, and mana involving thunder and lightning consumes extra mana.
The lukewarm discharge has no lethality. And the speed of thunder is so fast that almost all the mana can be released instantly... This means that the Griffin Legion is extremely lacking in the ability to fight for a long time.
To a human enemy, this shortcoming is nothing short of a shortcoming.
Because they only need one attack to defeat the enemy's defense line and penetrate the enemy's supplies. Although they can only attack once, this time is enough.
However……
"What role can the gryphon play against the endless demons?"
Ligeia's doubts were natural.
And Aiwass gave a clear answer: "Because the devil is afraid of thunder."
"...Afraid of thunder? How afraid? Is it as scary as a werewolf is afraid of fire?"
"More afraid than that, just like Moonchild is afraid of dusk, Shadow Demon is afraid of light, and Ghost is afraid of the level of purification."
Aiwass shook his head and explained.
A monster like the Moonchild that is almost impossible to kill with physical weapons has quite a few weaknesses.
For example, you cannot cross flowing water, and you cannot violently break into other people's house doors...
The main weakness is the power of the twilight path - such as freezing and petrification, which are the denial and elimination of "immortality" itself.
Secondly, as a creature of the Eternal Self, it is destined to lack the ability to resist the "burning state" of continuous burning flames; as a product of a curse, its immortality will be temporarily lifted because purification can lift the curse of immortality.
But werewolves, children of the moon, beasts...even humans, trees and trolls are afraid of fire because fire can leave them with injuries that are difficult to heal and cannot heal themselves.
These lives that were born from the "River of Creation" all have similar underlying structures. For most biospheres, flames are basically a surefire kill without the use of "medicines" adapted to the path.
.
But this does not mean that flames can suppress their other abilities - just like when humans fight against flames, their intelligence, strength and endurance will not be reduced.
...Probably not.
However, the restraint mode of thunder and lightning against demons is the type of "once it hits and breaks the defense, it will definitely cause maximum damage and will definitely hit hard".
No matter whether the lightning falls on the demon's weapon, solid carapace or armor, it will cause full damage - as long as it does not fall on the barrier.
This is because the damage caused by natural thunder and lightning has the attribute of "punishment", and the underlying power of the devil comes from the mortal sin system... As can be seen from the name, "mortal sin" is naturally afraid of "punishment".
"In other words, the griffons don't even need to use their full strength to cause fatal damage to demons of the same level. The only problem is... although the griffins' attacks on the demons will definitely pass, the demons' attacks on the griffons will definitely pass.
The attack can also pass.
"Griffins have no curse resistance, nor do they have holy attributes. This means that most of the devil's methods are 100% effective against griffins... Therefore, even if griffins have the ability to absolutely restrain demons, they cannot get close at all.
"So I prepared a large number of consecrated griffon armors - each one was consecrated by a clergyman above the archbishop through half a month of devout prayers. Curses below the fourth level cannot be broken at all.
Curses of a higher level than this also require a considerable loss of power.
"At the same time, they will also increase the resistance of the 'holy' type. The damage caused by ghosts, curses, and evil will be greatly weakened. The knights riding the griffins will also gain the permanent 'evil-proof' ability.
"Gryphons and their knights will receive a steady stream of vitality and can continuously heal themselves and even their allies. It is just like the knights working part-time as a paladin with a level lower than themselves.
"Although the ability of 'Resisting Evil' against demons is not as good as that of 'Punishment', it is somewhat weak in restraint, and the attack area is wider."
Aiwass said slowly: "With this set of gryphon armor, this is no longer the 'Gryphon Legion', nor is it the 'First Legion' that could only be used for surprise attacks in the past. It is the ace legion against the devil."
, and will even fight together with the Theocracy's most elite troops! The knightly tradition of Avalon's past has been revived today...
