After Langton left, Aiwass held the little crow in his arms and suddenly said:
"I quite like this young man."
——Although Aiwass himself is nearly ten years younger than Langton, his rather old-fashioned words at this time are surprisingly not inconsistent.
"Why?"
Vines was inexplicably dissatisfied: "Is it because of the words he praised you for?"
"Because of you."
"……What?"
Aiwass's words made Vines suddenly stuck for a moment.
"Just kidding," Aiwass chuckled, "actually it's because he has empathy, is cautious, and doesn't want to fool people. He can think of those who were not rescued, and can remember that Avalon was not very accepting before.
The transcendent person, when I said "I need a Bayard", directly stated that he might not be able to help me... instead of responding first and then thinking about how to deal with the past, it means that he has subconsciously considered that he should
How to get this done."
"With your status, it is normal for him not to dare to fool you."
On the contrary, Vignes began to pour cold water on his younger generation: "This does not prove that he can be so cautious in other matters."
"That's a mentality issue, not an ability issue. Even so, there is a possibility that he will adjust."
Aiwass said casually, smiling and pinching the warm belly of the little crow in his arms: "Why are you still jealous of your own junior? He is a boy, my little crow."
He could feel that Bayard was jealous because he was praising other Bayards.
"...This is the impact of the brand of jealousy on me." Bayard said harshly.
"Well, I guess so."
Aiwass did not continue to emphasize this topic: "But you said...'The territory is the secret, and the blood is the key.' Is this a universal principle of curses? Is the same true for the Herasl Vault?
Is it here? It was also made by your Bayard family?"
"Definitely not."
Vignes replied affirmatively: "That is a royal treasure house. How could you find a folk curse master to arrange it? If Bayard of a certain generation becomes ill or is bribed, doesn't it mean that the key to the treasure house has been stolen?"
Got one?
"But the principle is the same...it must also be a curse. Whether it is a ritual, a mechanism or a barrier, it is too easy to crack. As long as there is enough time to operate, no matter how complicated the ritual is, it can be cracked.
Since the Herasl secret has not been cracked until now, it means that it can only be based on a curse."
Indeed, Aiwass thought.
The ritual in Eagle Point Village was like this - at that time, Aiwass was only at the third level, but he was already able to break the Swampman ritual arranged by his grandfather. He didn't do it simply because he didn't know whether it would cause harm to the residents of Eagle Point Village.
Something went wrong; even Vivian, who didn't know anything about the ritual, would destroy the Shadow of Avalon ritual arranged by Merlin because of stealing Arondette - she didn't know that this "dagger" was related to Avalon.
It is related to the Long Shadow Ritual and can easily destroy other people's rituals.
Ritual exists like this. Although it can defeat the weak against the strong, the process is too complicated and the principle is too black-box - it is like a transmission device composed of many gears. If any one of the gears stops spinning or is damaged, it may cause damage to the system.
A series of chain reactions produced a result that no one expected.
"...Since it's a curse," Aiwass said, "can you help lift it?"
"It can't be done."
Crow shook his head: "This is the biggest difference between curses and rituals. Ritualists can lift and counter the rituals of other ritualists, but cursers cannot lift the curses imposed by others. If you want a universal cracking method, you need
It's light - a powerful enough purification power that can lift the curse. But in that case, the curse itself will be completely destroyed."
Is it also physical unlocking...
Aiwass thought about it and asked: "If the curse is used to preserve treasures, will this cracking method destroy the treasures inside?"
"meeting."
Vines said with certainty: "Just like the contaminated remains of Sister Sasha, Master, you have to pray to Sister Sasha to personally purify the pollution, instead of just throwing it into the holy water to soak. People who have been sick for a long time
, and you can’t use strong medicine, your body won’t be able to hold on.”
But as soon as she said these words, she realized what Aiwass wanted to do: "Do you want to open the secret of Herasl?"
"Although the Herasl Vault is occupied by Valentine...but it does not belong to Valentine, nor does it belong to Star Antimony. And it is more than that."
Aiwass thought and whispered: "Langton's existence gave me a revelation... Even Bayard who is living abroad can be counted as Bayard.
"——Then, if the Swampert is made with the blood of Herasl's royal family, can it also be regarded as the real Hercules?"
Now that Valentine VII is dead, Valentine VIII is being transformed into a son of the moon, and Queen Louise, the former regent, has also voluntarily fallen into a succubus. In a sense, the royal family of the Kingdom of Star Antimony
The inheritance has long since become a mess, and the regime can be said to have completely fallen.
Although the eldest princess has the courage to inherit the throne of the monarch... but now her control over Star Antimony has almost disappeared, and even the people no longer have trust in Valentine. And the eldest princess does not so much want to become a monarch.
Rather, he wants to improve the chaos in Xing Antimony so that the people of Xing Antimony can live a good life.
As for Prince Szijjarto - he doesn't want to be a monarch at all, he just wants to be a stable alchemist.
All other royal family members who were expected to inherit the throne have been completely killed by Hong Xiang.
in this case……
"I suddenly remembered...Julia's real name before she was adopted was Julia Hercules."
Aiwass narrowed his eyes slightly: "It just so happens that she is also an alchemist, and the Star Antimony people will like her... After all, she also has to participate in the decisive battle."
There is another reason why Aiwass suddenly had this idea.
Don't the Children of the Moon want to rebuild the Herasl Empire? Isn't reviving the glory of Herasl the slogan that connects them to each other, and the claim that allows them to cooperate across borders and forces?
——Then if a real Herasl is rebuilt directly on the ruins of Star Antimony...how should they choose?
Let Star Antimony merge with Avalon - it has all the inheritance of the nine paths, and is also geographically on the old territory of Herasl. It can even reopen the secret of Herasl. The people are the pure people of the past.
The ruler of the Blood Heracles is the extremely pure-blooded Heracles, and even the legal principles for the revival of the old empire can be recognized by the Pope... and Yulia can be allowed to proclaim herself emperor.
In this way, war and hatred will be eliminated.
The dispute between Avalon and Star Antimony has become a regional dispute within a country; the Narcissus Principality and the Black Eagle Principality, which were previously independent with the claim of "Herasl Orthodox Heritage", may not be unable to rejoin -
The one they cut off was the Star Antimony Kingdom. What does it have to do with the New Herasl Empire?
The Iris Kingdom, which is equally afraid of Star Antimony and Avalon, and even contributed a lot to the independence of Narcissus Principality and Black Eagle Principality, is unlikely to conflict with "New Herasl".
Then, peace will come. Peace will bring prosperity, and prosperity will bring glory.
By then, it will not be difficult at all to "revival Herasl" in the true sense.
When a country looks like Hrasl, sounds like Hrasl, and feels like Hrasl...
