When the plot-skips players into the game world Chapter 497

Chapter 497: Chapter 390: The Strongest Detective is the Prophet Chapter 497: Chapter 390: The Strongest Detective is the Prophet Minister Calot sighed deeply.

——He still said it.

Perhaps having stayed in Star Antimony too long, Griffiths had forgotten…

that in Avalon, there are many things one simply does not say.

After being sternly rebuked by Isabel today, Minister Griffiths clearly had his anger pent up inside, yet dared not vent it.

And now, he finally couldn’t restrain himself from speaking out in this private eting.

His animosity, unable to be directed at Isabel, was aid straight at Aiwass, who advised her: “If you ask , we should start by disbanding the Minister of the Departnt of Care of Magical Creatures.

...

The reason is right there — suspected of colluding with a spy from Star Antimony.”

“Miss Aleister has been declared innocent by the great Guardian.”

Soone gently reminded, “Do you want to disband the great Guardian as well?”

“People always change, but their positions do not.”

Minister Griffiths said without hesitation, “Today’s problem-free person, who can assure they won’t be a problem tomorrow?

Besides, he is ultimately from the Moriarty family, still bearing the title of a high-level mber of the Lohar Society!

Even if he’s not persuaded by the people of Star Antimony, couldn’t he be influenced by those rchants?”

“As long as he doesn’t show up, there won’t be any flaws.

Because he doesn’t say anything, shows no stance.

If you attack him, you’ll be dragged into attacks by others.”

The Minister of Education explained calmly, “Can you even forbid soone from taking leave?

What reason do you have to disband him?”

But the attitude of this newly appointed Minister of Comrce was very firm: “Reasons, there could always be any.

His brother Edward, because of the title of Chief Inspector and considering the principle of avoidance, couldn’t inherit the family, right?

Then with his title as Minister of the Departnt of Care of Magical Creatures, also handling disciplinary matters of the Knight Family, he shouldn’t inherit the Moriarty family either.

“Let him either surrender his Minister position or give the title of family head to his sister — that sounds reasonable, right?

If his sister takes over as family head, then she could also be invited to participate in Round Table Hall etings.

“He might be a fox, but what about his sister?

It seems she hardly ets anybody.

“Moreover, I have another piece of intelligence — his sister is suspected to have been a Phantom Demon Egg, only cured or suppressed by special ans.

If this check passes, then Old Moriarty hiding this fact, even bringing her into the Hall of Silver and Tin, constitutes a serious cri!”

Minister Griffiths was very aggressive today…

Watching the unceasing Minister of Comrce, Minister Calot narrowed his eyes slightly.

This old fox sensed sothing amiss.

——Isabel only attacked him verbally; Aiwass hadn’t even seen him.

Where did he get such strong hostility toward Aiwass?

Their earlier discussion hadn’t even touched on Aiwass; it was Minister Griffiths himself who had steered the conversation that way.

They were clearly discussing preparations for the battle with Star Antimony, and suddenly it turned into denouncing Aiwass.

Although Minister Calot was also sowhat suppressed…

objectively speaking, Minister Calot believed that Aiwass did nothing wrong.

Isabel’s character surely couldn’t transform instantly, aning she must have close staffers planning for her.

This is normal, what monarch doesn’t have their own trusted advisors and favorites?

Nor did it harm their interests, nor the country’s.

Even as things stand now, the effects seed to be positive.

To take the risk of angering Queen Isabel by attacking Aiwass in such a situation…

it was not only completely unnecessary, but it could also invite disaster.

This was not a rational act.

Not to ntion, Minister Griffiths ca from the foreign affairs sector; he couldn’t possibly be ignorant of such common knowledge.

He acted like a clown who suddenly started to make a fuss.

What did he want to hide?

Or was he trying to mislead?

Minister Calot narrowed his eyes.

“`

It seed he had to write a report to the Queen about this matter.

For he didn’t know how many people would realize sothing was amiss and write as well.

If no one else wrote, there would be no issue, but if soone did and he didn’t…

it ant he either lacked ability or was questionable in his stance.

It was akin to “reduced sentences for inmates who report on their accomplices.”

——And he was certainly the one who would report imdiately.

Of course…

Perhaps the first to see this letter wouldn’t be Her Majesty the Queen, but Minister Moriarty instead.

Just as Minister Calot had anticipated.

At dusk, Minister Calot visited the Hall of Silver and Tin.

However, before he could enter the main hall, he was turned away by the palace staff and could only hand the secret letter to Master Yanis, with explicit instructions for Her Majesty to open it personally.

Yanis then imdiately passed the letter to Aiwass.

At this mont, Aiwass was in the study assisting Isabel with signing those docunts.

Most of them didn’t need her review, so Aiwass dealt with them directly.

For those that did require a glance, he sorted them out to present them to Isabel once she woke up.

Now was the national mourning week, and there was no entertainnt to speak of anyway.

So Aiwass simply didn’t return ho and stayed in the Hall of Silver and Tin to lend a hand to Isabel.

Once Mycroft took office as Seal Minister, this task could be handed over to him——usually, Isabel could just move the stack of docunts from the “not processed” side straight to “please pass to the Seal Minister”, without even a glance.

After all, if there was sothing truly urgent, Mycroft would surely co to inform her.

The characteristic of the Path of Dusk is to avoid trouble.

And he was a clever person.

The thing about clever people hating trouble is that they don’t want to take the bla——although he certainly wasn’t keen on doing this kind of work, indeed, no one could do it better than him.

On the other hand, while Aiwass was signing docunts for Isabel, he could also take the opportunity to look for the intelligence he was interested in.

This kind of opportunity wasn’t available to just anyone.

But after all, he was the Minister of the Departnt of Care of Magical Creatures——in the present mont, when the Seal Minister had not yet taken office, temporarily assuming the duties of the Seal Minister was within his normal range of authority.

It couldn’t be considered overstepping his bounds.

“Isabel hasn’t awakened yet?”

As Aiwass opened the letter, he asked casually.

“Little Isabel isn’t unwoken, she’s just gone to sleep.”

Yanis also seed quite sympathetic, “She was extrely busy today.

She worked all night yesterday, had etings this morning.

After a nap at noon, she had to get up, do her makeup, and take interviews with journalists.

In the evening, she still had to accompany the bishop to send Sofia’s coffin to St.

Genvieve Chapel, and only just got back.

She lay down without even eating.”

“Skipping als is not good,” Aiwass pondered for a mont, “I will wake her up later to have dinner.

And use Illumination Art to warm up Isabel a bit…

just to prevent it, you wouldn’t want her falling sick from the busyness.”

“Indeed.

And rember, in front of outsiders, call her ‘Your Majesty’.”

Yanis reminded him.

Aiwass laughed, “I know that.

It’s just us here, after all.”

With that, he lowered his head to read the secret letter sent by the Minister of the Privy Council.

Yanis stood behind Aiwass, hands on his shoulders, slightly bowing to read the letter with him.

As they read, both Aiwass and Yanis furrowed their brows almost in unison.

Seeing the ntion of Yulia, Aiwass narrowed his eyes slightly, his mouth curling into a grin that was neither here nor there.

“`

“What do you think, Aiwass?”

Yanis asked.

Aiwass pondered for a mont, but instead of answering, he countered with a question, “Isn’t tomorrow the day Isabel is supposed to start her tour of Avalon?”

“Yes.”

Yanis replied, “She’s scheduled to visit all the major cities of Avalon within five days.

She can rest for half a day upon her return, and then Sofia’s funeral will be held the day after.”

“That would an Isabel won’t be able to attend the Round Table Hall etings this week…”

Aiwass murmured softly.

Rather than thinking, he seed to be recalling sothing.

This aroused Yanis’s curiosity.

“I rember Minister Griffiths used to be the ambassador to Star Antimony, right?”

Aiwass asked Yanis.

Yanis looked at him sowhat strangely: “How would I know?”

“Never mind, I rember now…

it’s him.”

After that, Aiwass snapped his fingers, “Good, I’ve got a plan.”

“What?” Yanis asked with interest.

She didn’t seem nervous at all.

Or rather…

after Sofia’s death, she was about to leave Avalon anyways.

Once things with Isabel settled down a bit, she was moving on to the next chapter in her life.

Therefore, these troubles in Avalon didn’t concern her much.

“Have Isabel write a reply.

Say, ‘I have received your letter and read it carefully.

Though the details are slightly off, I have grasped your intentions.'”

“…’You’?”

Yanis repeated, “But you only received one letter.”

“Just write it that way.”

Aiwass slightly shook his head, then narrowed his eyes, “And then…

“Lily, I need a favor.”

Without a sound, Lily materialized from the shadows in the room.

“What is it?”

She asked.

“A small task, play the ‘Minister of Transport’ for .”

Aiwass answered: “Take the Shadow Demon and run an errand to the Minister of Comrce’s residence for , I will go and find a reporter for an interview in a while.”

“Kill him?”

Lily asked without hesitation, “Or kill them all?”

“…Oh, no need to kill.”

Aiwass replied sowhat awkwardly.

Whether it was the influence of the Path of Love or not, compared to last month, Lily’s killing intent had beco sowhat pronounced.

He reminded her, “Just have the Shadow Demon ss up a few things, but be careful not to get caught.”

As he said this, Aiwass added, “Of course, you can kill if you want to.

It’s not important anyway.

“…He’s just a pawn after all.”

Aiwass whispered with narrowed eyes.

Yanis’s eyes widened.

She clearly realized that Aiwass had guessed who was behind the scenes in this matter.

This interested her greatly.

Even though they both had received the sa information, Yanis hadn’t even sorted out the situation, while Aiwass had already instantly guessed the truth.

“I really want to crack open your skull and see what’s hidden inside…”

Yanis couldn’t help saying, “What have you guessed?

Can you tell about your reasoning process?”

Aiwass looked sowhat helpless as he said, “This is not reasoning, just a speculation…

consider a Prophet.”

“I don’t believe that.

Even a fifth power level Prophet can’t so easily see the future and truth, can they?”

Yanis leaned in closer, “Co on, tell how you reasoned it.”

Aiwass just kept shaking his head.

He couldn’t articulate it.

It was true that Aiwass had no evidence, and he didn’t even know the purpose of Minister Griffiths.

But for a true “Prophet,” those things aren’t necessary.

His judgnt was based on a simple fact.

Because that “Ambassador Griffiths” had infiltrated the ranks of Avalon less than a year after its fall.

As a devoted follower of Count Leipzig and a Son of the Moon.

And Count Leipzig was the very instigator who had spread the false identity of “Miss Aleister.”

Aiwass rembered clearly.

—In the drop list from “Ambassador Griffiths,” there was the torso portion of the “Sasha Set.”
