Under the night, Yingjia Village is unusually quiet.

Not to mention the sound of fighting outside, not even the chirping of insects and birds could be heard.

But this is obviously unreasonable.

Aiwass had long been aware of the inconsistency.

Because generally in a rural area like this, there should be a lot of insects, snakes, birds and beasts.

It is different from the Glass Island where the Inspection Bureau often comes to inspect sanitation, and there are various pest control companies, and the rat removal companies hand out flyers on the street. In a village like Yingjiao Village located deep in the forest, even in the wild,

It's normal for wolves to wander around the village in the middle of the night... and it's not impossible to see a snake under the quilt when you get up.

Not to mention all kinds of little bugs.

Even if songbugs are not active in winter... But after a few days in Eagle Point Village, Aiwass didn't even see a single ladybug, spider, slug or the like.

Not only were there no wolves howling, no cats meowing, not even the sound of birds flapping their wings could be heard.

"Are there no hunters in your village?"

Aiwass asked Haina.

Haina hesitated for a while: "Well...maybe, maybe not."

"This is the most outrageous reply I've heard this month."

Sherlock complained: "It's either there or it's not, how can it be 'maybe'?"

"We are in Muwan County."

Haina, who was walking back and forth in the room, responded with her hands on her hips confidently: "If you want to eat meat, you have to find herdsmen. There are a lot of herdsmen herding sheep and cattle. Although there are occasional game in the village, it may be from bagpipes.

Maybe it was bought from the town, or maybe it was exchanged for it from another village."

Now she's not sure whether the fighting outside is over, so Haina doesn't dare to go home.

But Haina had nothing to do, she was very energetic and extremely excited...so she could only circle back and forth in the room, and then run to tease the gryphon who was about to fall asleep from time to time.

Lizzie almost fell asleep three times while lying in the corner, but Haina woke her up every time.

The key is that after waking up, Haina didn't do anything with it. Instead, she quickly touched its head and soothed it to sleep. Then she walked around the room a few times and couldn't help but go find the griffin to play with.

There's nothing we can do about it.

After all, the three other people besides her - Aiwass, Sherlock and Lily - were not easy to disturb.

Lily is introverted and quiet. Even if she chats with her, Lily will just smile and listen without saying a word. Only Aiwass can be a little more responsive when chatting with her.

She really wanted to play with Aiwass, but now Aiwass, as the minister regardless of the minister, is really a high-ranking authority for Haina - she was very afraid of Edward as the inspector general at the beginning, but now Aiwass is comparable

Edward is much better.

And there is no need to mention Sherlock.

He was reading a book over there... Haina went over to look at it and found that it was actually a book about astrology.

There were so many letters, numbers and symbols inside that Haina felt dizzy just by looking at them.

Of course, if she was forced to recite it, she would probably be able to memorize it all. But it would be difficult to understand.

To her relief, Sherlock, who is on the path of wisdom, is not that easy to understand this book. The little Sherlock frowned and thought hard, looking like his younger brother working hard on his homework, which was very cute.

But maybe it was because Sherlock also got a headache from watching it - Haina's rhythmic behavior of passing behind him made Sherlock put down the book with an angry thud, raised his head and cursed a few times.

.

He really disliked Haina's restless behavior of walking around people in the middle of the night and making noise, and sharply commented on her as "an energetic jackass warming up for tomorrow's grind."

So Haina didn't want to get close to Sherlock.

Stupid is stupid, she knows that she is indeed not smart compared to Sherlock. But the stupid donkey is not happy to hear it.

——She is more or less a pretty girl who is popular with everyone in school. Being called a donkey is too much!

At least it has to be a cute animal like a horse or a dog!

"Speaking of which," Aiwass on the side was thoughtful, raising his hand to stop Haina who was spinning around, "When you were young, you would run around with your friends, right?"

"Of course, otherwise there wouldn't be much fun here." Haina nodded.

"Have you ever been near the forest?"

"We often play in the forest."

Haina replied.

Hearing this, Sherlock suddenly frowned, raised his head, and asked, "Are you guys playing in the forest?"

"...Yes, what's wrong?"

Haina felt guilty, wondering if she had said something wrong.

"That's a huge problem."

Sherlock frowned like a little adult: "You adults just let you run around in the woods like this?"

"What's wrong," Haina was a little confused, "It's not like we're going to the swamp, what's the danger... The swamp doesn't let us go. But we just said it would be useless, so we still go every month, haha...

"

Haina said something like "As long as you haven't been discovered, you haven't been there" and "No one has really had any accidents anyway", and she wanted to talk about her childhood adventures with great interest.

But her words were directly interrupted by Sherlock: "Aren't you adults worried that there are bad people or wild beasts and poisonous insects in the forest?"

Hearing this, Haina was stunned for a moment.

Only then did she vaguely react: "Probably...ah, didn't Aiwass say that our village is in the fairy barrier? That should be the reason?"

"Then they are not afraid that you will be captured by goblins?"

Sherlock asked further.

Hearing this, Haina finally fell silent.

She hissed lightly and fell into confusion.

Yes, why?

Aiwass vaguely guessed something.

He asked warmly: "Senior, how much do you know about these forests?"

"Ah, Aiwass, you'd better stop calling me senior, I've already graduated..."

Haina waved her hands awkwardly: "Just call me Haina."

Now she felt like she was sweating just listening to Aiwass's polite and affectionate address.

Let a young powerful minister, the current patriarch of the founding family, a member of the Round Table Hall...maybe even the future Prince Regent of Avalon and the future Speaker of the Round Table Hall call her senior. How could she have such great dignity?

Today, Haina is no longer as young and energetic as she was when she first started working in the Supervision Bureau. She has grown up a bit now and understands more things. And she has not had that much contact with Aiwass... They

The reason for the close relationship between them was simply because Aiwass shared with her the taboo secret about the Silver Crowned Dragon becoming the Pillar God.

From then on, they were accomplices. Because they both held a forbidden secret, and they both knew that the other also held it, and they also knew that the other did not report them immediately - so they became grasshoppers on a rope.

It was also from then on that Haina was forced to join many plans of Aiwass and Sherlock. As a result, she knew more and more, and now she can no longer run away.

But now that she fully understood what the name Aiwass meant in Avalon, she wished she could go back in time and punch herself in the face when she was so stupid back then.

But Aiwass just smiled and easily saw through what Haina was worried about: "It's okay, senior. From the first time I called you senior, you gave me a kind reply... From then on

From now on, I can call you senior sister.

"Then I called you by your first name 'Haina' to show closeness; but now the situation is different, calling you by your first name has become business-like, and calling you senior has become closeness, so naturally I

I will choose the title that is closer to me."

"But……"

"Nothing to worry about."

Aiwass's fingertips lightly tapped the table, and the tapping sound gently interrupted Haina's words.

Although he no longer uses a wheelchair, the habits he left behind at that time still remain.

"You are a close disciple of the Great Arbiter."

Aiwass said lightly: "At the age of twenty-two and two months, he is a genius who has touched the wall of the fourth energy level.

"Who can say...that you are not the next great arbiter?"

"Ah no no no no no, I can't, I can't, I can't."

Haina was so frightened that her face turned pale and she shook her head and waved her hands repeatedly.

She didn't feel the strong fighting spirit inspired by her ambition at all, she only felt the tremendous pressure.

Even though Haina doesn't understand politics, she can still realize intuitively that the Grand Arbiter is the powerful national protector who protects Avalon now. Without the Grand Arbiter, I'm afraid Avalon will be immediately

Dragged into the chaos of war.

So what does the Next Grand Arbiter mean?
