Isabel was quite happy when she first met Aiwass.

A few days ago, she relied on her memory and imagination to draw a new magic painting for Aiwass - wearing a gorgeous and elegant white robe, with shoulder straps and waist-length platinum hair fluttering in the wind.

.

Although Aiwass's hair is far from that long, Isabel has gradually learned how to draw away from reality. This means that she has basically got started as a magic painting craftsman, and can draw things that do not exist in reality, but that she herself

I still think it is true.

She originally wanted to share the painting with Aiwass.

But after listening to the story told by Aiwass, Isabel didn't even have time to cheer and rejoice that Aiwass was not in fatal danger and did not use the "Isolde's Tears"... She had no reason,

I suddenly realized a sense of inconsistency.

She subconsciously turned on her spiritual vision and looked into Aiwass's soul.

Isabel was immediately horrified——

It was originally half vermilion that was almost gold, and half was deep purple that was almost black. The crystal soul was as beautiful and balanced as the sunset on the sea... but now three-quarters of it was covered by the mysterious and pure deep purple.

The first third from the top to the bottom is dark red, black, and dark purple. The remaining two-thirds are dark purple that gradually turns into a light purple that is almost pink.

If pink can be regarded as a "thin red", then this scene is undoubtedly a "transcendence" that captures and digests a part of the "dedication".

If this change in the path inclination came from Aiwass's own decision, then Isabel wouldn't think so. But obviously Aiwass was not aware of this.

So Isabel immediately became vigilant.

"Beyond the path...is it out of balance?"

Aiwass understood Her Royal Highness the Princess's warning and murmured in a low voice.

He vaguely guessed the reason for the current situation.

This should be caused by the fact that he obtained the Book of Law and the golden-level path characteristics, and his power beyond the path was strengthened too much.

...Of course, it may also be because I briefly came into contact with the real "holy entity", the fragment of Huan Tiansi, and was therefore infected by it.

It was only then that Aiwass realized in a daze... his character seemed to have become obviously more assertive.

The most obvious ones are feeding Lily blood and shepherding her on the train.

This is of course partly due to the influence of the "dedication" path. If his own blood is useful to Lily, Aiwass would certainly be willing to donate it.

Different from the original curse during the lycanthropy period, "if you drink blood in animal form, you will not be able to transform back into a human body for nine years", both Lily and Yeats can switch between human and wolf transformations at will, and can even turn into a werewolf that walks upright. They

They seem to be able to drink blood at will.

This may be a special kind of werewolf, or it may be a certain level in the evolution of werewolves. Aiwass is not sure.

But when Lily lost control, Aiwass's first reaction was not to "control her reason and make her sober", but to give up resistance and let her drink directly...

At that time, whether Lily completely lost control, bit or twisted Aiwass's neck, or lost her rationality and directly sucked his blood, it could have resulted in Aiwass's death.

However, Aiwass completely gave up resistance unconsciously.

It's not so much pure trust.

——Rather, it is like a magnanimous superior allowing a subordinate to "transcend" himself.

Same reason.

On the train, he took the initiative to turn into No. 14, and then took the initiative to order Shadow Demon to temporarily turn into a human form.

When Shadow Demon said that he could transform into Miss Assassin and be cared for by Aiwass, Aiwass still clearly refused. At that time, Aiwass wanted to keep a distance from Shadow Demon and also set some moral standards for himself.

Principles. Among them is not wanting to shepherd phantoms in human form, because that will gradually separate themselves from humans.

...Of course, Aiwass felt that it was first of all because he didn't want to kiss the shadow demon in wolf form, and he didn't want to waste the blood in his mouth. On the other hand, he was also influenced by a bad taste and wanted to use No. 14

He held a special identity to tease the Shadow Demon. After "Bayard" drank all the blood in his mouth, Aiwass made the Shadow Demon change back again.

To Aiwass at the time, all this was very reasonable.

But now after listening to Isabel's words, Aiwass suddenly reacted.

If I look back and analyze this "bad taste" in detail, I should have wanted to confirm the "master and servant identity" of the shadow demon who was Bayard. In the past tense, the relationship between "No. 14" and "Bayard"

The relationship is exactly the opposite.

That is to say.

Unconsciously, Aiwass tried to use the identity of No. 14 to complete the "transcendence" ritual for Shadow Demon.

One is to condone others' transcendence, and the other is to complete the transcendence by oneself. Both of these abnormal behaviors are related to the path of transcendence.

And they were all special changes that suddenly appeared after Aiwass came into contact with the "holy entity". They even appeared immediately, no more than twenty-four hours apart.

Will this have any negative impact...?

Aiwass himself didn't know.

Even if he knew it, Aiwass seemed to have no way to change it.

Even Yanis, who will be level 70 in the future, can instantly lose control and turn into a phantom due to a deviation in her path. Even though she has become a strong person of that level, she is still powerless in the face of her inner demons.

"——We might as well ask Miss Ligeia."

Seeing Aiwass in a rare state of confusion, Isabel's attitude suddenly became tougher, as if full of courage: "She is well-informed and may know what to do. If there is any problem, just

Deal with it as soon as possible."

After Isabel said that, she directly held Aiwass's wrist and pulled him towards Her Majesty the Queen's bedroom.

"There's no need to panic, Isabel...she may not know how to deal with my problem."

Aiwass did not resist Isabel forcefully.

He just followed behind and subconsciously said harshly: "Besides, whether it is dedication or transcendence, I am who I am - maybe when I advance in the path of dedication next time, I will come back...

"...but I do need to find Ligeia. But that is another matter, related to some rumors that are not good for me."

Halfway through his words, he suddenly realized that he seemed to be a child with a stubborn mouth. So he changed the subject very smoothly and changed the topic to another serious matter.

Isabel curled her lips and ignored Aiwass: "That kind of thing is very important, but eliminating hidden dangers is more important!"

The two of them lowered their heads and hurried on in silence, and in the blink of an eye they arrived at the entrance of the queen's chamber.

Apparently, the guards at the door had already been notified inside. Seeing Isabel pulling Aiwass out, the guards gave way to the door without even saying a word.

Now Her Majesty the Queen's health is getting worse and she has stopped visiting guests these days. Even if other ministers want to meet, they will be stopped.

But they are clearly an exception.

Originally, Isabel's momentum was quite strong when she came here, but when she arrived at the door, she suddenly began to weaken again.

Isabel lingered at the door for a while, hesitant.

She explained to Aiwass in a low voice: "Grandma has been in poor health recently...so Miss Ligeia has been taking care of her.

"...How about we take Miss Ligeia outside to chat?"

She was obviously worried that this would affect her grandmother Sophia's rest.

"—Come on, you two, please stop being so modest!"

Ligeia's energetic and cheerful voice came from inside the door: "Why are you standing still when you're already at the door!"

Hearing this, Isabel became even more shrinking.

Aiwass straightened his clothes a little, then stepped forward to open the door. The expression on his face returned to that calm and unhurried state.

And Ligeia was already standing in front of the door with her hands folded in displeasure and wagging her tail.

Obviously, if Aiwass didn't open the door, she would open it herself.

After entering the door, Isabel subconsciously searched around the room. She quickly found Yannis in a certain painting, and immediately looked like she was asking for help.

However, Yanis just raised her finger in front of her mouth to signal her not to speak yet.

After Aiwass entered the door, he immediately saw Queen Sophia lying on the bed.

With his divine vision as a priest, he almost immediately judged that Her Majesty the Queen had officially entered the countdown of her life. This made Aiwass' expression subconsciously solemn, and even his steps and breathing became lighter.

He saw Her Majesty the Queen's sweater needlework hanging by the bed, slowly falling but no one was holding it up. He immediately took two steps forward and picked up the things before they fell.

"Where should I put them, Your Majesty?"

Aiwass asked softly.

Generally speaking, for the elderly, the sound should be as loud as possible. But fortunately, Her Majesty Sophia does not have a deafness problem, and Aiwass looked at her half-asleep and half-awake, and was worried that he would scare her if he made too loud a sound.

.

"Well...just put it away..."

Queen Sophia responded in a vague voice.

"Where did you receive it?"

"It doesn't matter...I don't knit sweaters anymore."

The corners of the old lady's mouth raised slightly, revealing a smile: "Everything that needs to be knitted has been knitted. The last piece... has also been knitted."
