When the plot-skips players into the game world Chapter 385

Chapter 385: Chapter 293 Jas and Jacob Chapter 385: Chapter 293 Jas and Jacob rlin narrowed his eyes slightly.

Because he recognized the old man, and was very familiar with him.

They had known each other a long ti ago.

——The man who was locked in the birdcage by Titania was none other than Jas Moriarty, Aiwass’s foster father.

Despite being confined in a cage, the elderly man seed to be in good health.

He was dressed as if he was going to attend a banquet, his hair neatly combed and slicked back.

In addition to the horizontal bars for birds to perch on, the birdcage also had a chair for a person to sit.

...

At this mont, Jas sat steadily and even crossed his legs, smiling as he looked at rlin.

“…I heard you’ve been missing for a while, and here you are.”

rlin spoke, “Everyone thought you had an accident in the Holy Nation.”

“I did indeed visit the Holy Nation.

On one hand, it was to retrieve sothing, and on the other, it was to pay my respects to The Great Tree.”

Jas said with a smile, “I have much respect for The Great Tree—with its own strength, it bears a civilization and creates a race with its flesh and blood.

If only the power of The Great Tree were a bit stronger, I’m sure it would choose to nurture the entire world.”

“I’ll take that seriously.”

rlin said offhandedly, “How’s your research going lately?

You haven’t summoned for a long ti, things must be going smoothly, right?”

“You could say that.”

Jas laughed lightly, “But before Her Majesty, let’s not talk about these boring things—what are you doing in the Fairy Kingdom?”

“You should ask your child that.”

rlin said unceremoniously, “While you’re here as a guest, they haven’t been idle.”

“Which child of mine?”

Jas countered, “Son or daughter?”

“Of course, that little fox from the Alexander family.

Thanks to him, I discovered that Vivian was up to sothing again—she modified my Ceremony of Avalon’s Shadow.

But she doesn’t have that ability, so I suspect it was Jacob who helped her out.

As a ‘great wizard,’ he frequently uses rituals to borrow the power of other paths, and the Angel Envoy he knows on the Path of Love is Vivian.

So, they are connected.

“But if Jacob isn’t the one who made the change…

then the situation is even more complex.

It might involve the Celestial Marshal and the Pillar God.

Although my skills are not the best, it’s not sothing ordinary people can change at will.”

rlin adjusted his wide-brimd hat, speaking seriously to both Jas and the Fairy Queen, “So I need to go to the Valley of the Beheaded and see if Alexander left anything else behind.

But it has been engraved by the Amber God, and I, who no longer have a physical body, can’t enter through the normal path.

“So I need to use the Fairy Hole.

If he left behind any rituals, there would definitely be clues there.”

“Shadow of Avalon…”

The Fairy Queen, Titania, asked with interest, “Is it the ritual that revived Lancelot?

What has Vivian changed it into?

Is it fun?”

“I can’t say for sure.”

rlin shook his head cautiously, “What it resurrects definitely isn’t Lancelot.

Whether it’s fun or not, I’m not sure, but it will definitely be troubleso.

So I’ve stopped the ritual first.”

He actually wasn’t sure whether the ritual would, as Aiwass said, pull down a Shadowy Celestial Marshal.

In rlin’s understanding, there is no ritual that can directly pull a Celestial Marshal into the Material Realm.

If Celestial Marshals could be dragged down so easily, wouldn’t they have been pulled down long ago?

Though Celestial Marshals and Angel Envoys could reincarnate, it was always a voluntary act.

Usually, it was to advance further or switch paths that they would choose to “start afresh.”

rlin had so understanding of the ritual, solely because he was half a demon and possessed a certain intuitive ability beyond the Path of Transcendence.

However, he was ultimately not a professional Curse Ritual Magician…

His main Path was that of Wisdom.

In terms of rituals, he was only an amateur — albeit at the level of an Angel Envoy.

He analyzed the situation logically and felt that indeed the ritual could have such an effect…

but rlin was not sure that was the ultimate effect once it was in motion.

Generally speaking, when rlin encountered a ritual with uncertain effects, he would let it run a trial first.

But this ritual felt deadly, and he did not dare to test it — in case it really dragged soone familiar into misfortune.

What exactly were Vivian and Jacob up to?

Is this sothing you can ddle with?

“Regarding this, I might actually know a bit,”

Jas raised an eyebrow and calmly said, “When Aiwass’s parents ca to Glass Island back then, they brought a letter with them.

The letter ntioned his father’s research…

It was a letter sent by his brother.”

“Whose brother?”

“Giulio Alexander, Jacob’s second son, also Aiwass’s father.

His brother — that is, Jacob’s eldest son — had sent the letter to Giulio.”

“…I don’t really rember.”

“Well, Giulio was just a young priest.

He wasn’t even a bishop, so it’s normal that you don’t rember.”

Jas nodded and continued to explain to his old acquaintance, “His eldest son was not very famous either.

He later inherited Jacob’s ambitions on the demonological Path and infiltrated the Noble Red.

But then he was killed by the people of Noble Red.

It was because of this that Noble Red beca aware of Jacob’s research.”

“I’ve never heard of it.”

rlin shrugged his shoulders and smiled helplessly, “Just tell , what did the letter say?

What exactly was Jacob researching?

I only know it seems to be related to artificial humans…

It was Erinys who told that he used the wrong ans to reach the ultimate pursuit of alchemy.

Consequently, Jacob was cursed by the Hourglass.”

“Jacob hid his na back then because of his research.

I was also in the Lohar Society at the ti and had many confrontations with him when I was younger.”

Jas said softly with squinted eyes, “He was indeed a genius.

But geniuses usually only go one step ahead, and two steps ahead makes a madman.

“He went more than two steps ahead — his research was truly taboo.

Even replicating souls was rely a necessary component of his associative technologies.

I believe what he truly wanted to do was to create a deity.

“The letter ntioned that he attempted to integrate fragnts of a Phantom Demon into human souls to create people with innate peculiarities.”

“…Isn’t that the Phantom Demon Egg?”

rlin frowned tightly, “What’s the point of that?”

“I don’t know.

His death was mysterious, and I actually suspect he didn’t die…

Either that or he quietly beca an envoy for a certain deity.

Although I’m not sure what he intended to do, it’s definitely right to destroy all his plans.”

Jas answered calmly, “According to his original plan, Aiwass Alexander should have been handed over to Bishop Mathers by Giulio, and Yulia Heracles would ultimately be adopted by the Barton Couple.

“So I interfered to a certain extent…

I raised Yulia and Aiwass right before my eyes.

I just didn’t expect the two of them to end up together.”

“Your sudden faked death, was that for this reason?” rlin asked in return.

“Hmm, after Aiwass ca into contact with Noble Red, he suddenly beca very wary of .

Moreover, he inexplicably gained so secret knowledge that he shouldn’t have had, involving Celestial Marshals and Pillar Gods.

I suspect he was influenced by Jacob, perhaps receiving part of the knowledge in his dreams.”

Jas narrowed his eyes, “So I decided to give them so space…

to see what they would do without .

That’s why I ca to seek Her Majesty Titania’s shelter for a while.

“Since you’ve been keeping an eye on Avalon, please tell — what have they done during this ti?”
