Chapter 103 Aiwass's Biological Parents

"Your biological father is Julio Alexander. He is not a nobleman, but the son of a small town poet. He also graduated from the seminary you are studying at now."

The first sentence Bishop Mathers said stunned Aiwas: "And your mother Anne Alexander was once a noble of Iris. She abandoned her family name and eloped to Avalon."

... There is too much information in this sentence.

Aiwas was choked as soon as he came up.

"-Anne is my close friend and my roommate. We came to Avalon together and were classmates when we were in Iris."

Just then, a soft and mysterious female voice sounded from behind Aiwas.

Aiwas turned around and saw a person he had never seen before but was very familiar with-

She had a head of thick black wavy hair, which was waist-length. She had fair skin, a tall chest, and deep and three-dimensional facial features. She looked a bit like an elf, and also had the flavor of the ancient Parthian Kingdom. But the most impressive thing is that her jade-like pupils seem to shine like the starry sky.

She wore a black veil and walked barefoot on the soft carpet at home. Jade rings were hung on her wrists and ankles.

This is Mrs. Mina, the manager of the mall in the game - the person who is responsible for drawing cards, opening limited pools, selling various gift packs and discounts.

When she stood with the younger version of Mathers, the two were a perfect match - although one was 46 years old and the other was 35 years old, they looked like young people in their twenties. There was no trace of time left on them.

Aiwass didn't remember that she had appeared in the plot. But he could guarantee that all players were impressed by her.

When the Faceless God Studio didn't hold promotional activities for a long time, there would often be players who would tag the official every day to go crazy, posting posts like "When will Madam come?", "Madam, I miss you so much", "Madam, you don't want me to spend money on other games, do you?"

And now, the first sentence she said when she met Aiwas attracted his attention.

"Are you...Mrs. Mina?" Aiwas asked.

Bishop Mathers was a little surprised: "How do you know her name is Mina?"

"I guess Maya said it."

Mina said with a smile: "Didn't she come to my fortune-telling shop last year and persuaded me earnestly not to lie."

"That guy just likes to meddle."

Mathers snorted a little dissatisfied: "Just ignore her."

Mrs. Mina looked at Aiwas, a little absent-minded, and sighed softly: "You really... look like Julio and Anne. No wonder Mathers gave you the key to the chapel when he first saw you."

"Is my father also your classmate?" Aiwas asked curiously.

"Julio is our senior, two years older than us."

Mina looked at Aiwass and smiled, "Julio was very popular with girls back then. His father was a poet, so he had a special artistic temperament, but he didn't have the frivolous personality of an Iris man. He was a calm and gentle, serious and romantic handsome guy, who had mastered the art of lighting before graduation - I don't know if you still have it now, but when we girls had menstrual cramps, we would seek treatment from the seniors in the seminary. Many people were eyeing Julio.

"Although he was not good at sports, he was good at singing, and he was a tenor with a high level.

"Julio and Anne met in a student troupe, and he was the main actor in the troupe at the time. And Anne was a rising star with great acting talent. Your mother was optimistic and cheerful when she was a student, and she had a gentle and generous personality. Although she was a foreign student, she had many friends. In addition, her major was this, so when she first joined the troupe, she was voted as the heroine by a high vote.

"I remember that the first opera they performed was "Lulu's Magic Flute", which was very difficult. But their performance went well, and even the royal family came to see it. Your parents played Prince Tamino and Queen of the Night’s daughter Pamina respectively... It was after that performance that they began to secretly date. "

Mina said this and glanced at Mathers: "But since then, I married Mathers and moved from the school dormitory to his house. I don’t know much about what happened after that.

"I only know that Anne was pregnant before she graduated. She took a long leave to give birth to you, so she didn’t have enough credits and had to repeat a grade. At that time, your mother took you to class together... I even held you in my arms when you were a child."

Mina’s voice was very gentle, but a little sad: "Anne had already changed her last name at that time. She must have had a falling out with her family and forced herself to marry Julio."

When she saw Aiwass, she immediately thought of her close friend who had been dead for more than ten years.

The memories of the university that she could never go back to, along with the person she would never see again, emerged in front of her.

After so many years, Mina thought she had forgotten it. When he saw Aiwass, the memory that had turned gray suddenly reappeared, and all the memories of the past regained their voices and colors.

The atmosphere between the four people became silent for a while.

Mathers led Aiwass into the living room and sat down. There was already a space around the table to accommodate a wheelchair, and Mina poured Aiwass and Lily a cup of hot red tea that she had prepared.

The bishop's home was anything but luxurious. The only thing worthy of praise is that his family lives in the Red Queen.

But its area is very small, even smaller than Aiwass's villa in school. It has only two floors and three bedrooms. They entered through the front door and went to the living room, and "Mrs. Mina's Divination Shop" was at the back door on the first floor, which was also connected to the living room.

"What do you want to add?"

Mrs. Mina calmed down her emotions, asked Lily to sit next to Aiwass, and then asked the two of them.

"Just add milk." Aiwass replied.

"I want milk too...and some honey." Lily whispered.

While waiting for the milk tea, Bishop Mathers sighed: "Your father was once my student, but Professor Moriarty was also kind to me. So I actually struggled for a while whether I should talk to you clearly. Your life experience, is this unfair to your adoptive father...

“But since you have been attacked by demonologists many times, I think it’s time to make it clear to you.

"Your parents were cursed to death by a demonologist, which is related to the Jack the Ripper case ten years ago. The prisoner is most likely the Ripper's mentor, and the contracted demon is the Hook Demon."

Mathers' voice was a little hoarse: "At that time, the entire Alexander family was cursed, and many people died due to this curse of unknown origin. He came to me for help at that time... but I was not in the Candle Cathedral that morning."

As he spoke, he glanced at the crimson key hanging on Aiwass's wheelchair: "You should know by now that there is a holy sword sealed in this key. But I want to tell you, this holy sword was sealed by Cursed, and very powerful.

"Just the night before, the curse inside it was accidentally leaked. In order to prevent innocent people from suffering, I took it to an abandoned warehouse far away from human habitation and found several arbiters to help me seal it. Wait until I finish the work When we got back, it was already one o'clock in the afternoon.

"It was already too late by then. Your parents were killed by the Hook Demon, but they used their last strength to protect you. From then on, you didn't have any relatives in Avalon. I also seriously considered whether to Adopt you, after all I know your father and Mina knows your mother. I had that chance...but I ended up sending you to the orphanage. Sorry."

Mathers sighed, feeling a little regretful: "Because I was having conflicts with my family at that time... Mina alone was already unacceptable to them. Adopting a student's child - I have taught several students. No, this reason couldn't convince them. So I finally backed down...and I was really scared. I was worried that something might happen to Mina, Meia, and my parents.

"We still don't know why the Alexander family was attacked by demonologists, because everyone in the Alexander family was already dead - only two days after your parents died, your grandfather was killed for the same reason.

"The Inspectorate says that your grandfather may have hidden a special secret in an unpublished poem. Because when he died, his manuscripts were lost and disappeared. And among all the deceased people, In Alexander's case, only his belongings were stolen. But this reason is obviously untenable, because there is no need to kill your grandfather's children.

"So I was worried that you had offended someone. So I sent you to an orphanage invested by Professor Moriarty.

"Professor Moriarty is a good man. The orphanage he invested in is at least guaranteed. At least it won't be like other orphanages where when the children reach the age of nine, they will be sent to work in factories or given to Lloyd's as pawns. The newsboy or doorman may deliver it directly to the big man's bed.

"In the end, when Professor Moriarty went to adopt Yulia as his adopted daughter, I mentioned you to him. It turned out that he actually adopted you... This made me owe him another favor."

Mathers slowly recounted what happened before Aiwass could remember.

"Bishop Mathers...I want to know, where is my grandfather from?"

Aiwass asked seriously.

"He lives in Yingjiao Village, Muwan County, which is also your father's hometown."

Mathers answered without hesitation, obviously having already guessed that Aiwass would ask this question: "I know you care about this matter, but I don't recommend that you go there to look for clues now. Because although you You are very talented, but you are still too weak...and your talent will increase your value. Those evil scholars who study demonology will sacrifice you once, and they will sacrifice you a second time."

As he said that, Mathers looked at Aiwass with a complicated expression: "I was thinking at the time... If I had completed the advancement two or three years ago and entered the fifth level, would your parents not have to die?

"But no matter how I calculated it, it turned out to be useless...because I was just an extraordinary person dedicated to the path. This made me very frustrated. As long as the curse of the red-handled sword was leaked that day, I had to deal with it - I didn't Maybe dealing with the curse in the Candlestick Cathedral will only make more people infected by the curse and spread the curse to the entire Glass Island. I have to be responsible for more innocent people.

"And the principle of the path of devotion is to sacrifice what is close to you and save what is far away from you. This is also a kind of 'altruism' in a broad sense. In other words, if I can step into the fifth energy level, I can even predict you Even if my parents suffer a disaster, I may still choose to save more ordinary people. That is the result of being influenced and manipulated by the Tao.

“That kind of dedicated but ruthless state frightened me. I realized that even the fifth-level extraordinary people could not do things, and they would be plotted against or encounter tragedies due to coincidences.

“So from then on, I stopped advancing. If the fourth level could not solve a problem, the fifth level probably could not solve it either...at least that’s what I thought at the time. "

Mathers sighed, recalling the past in silence.

Evans drank the warm milk tea slowly, lost in thought.

Obviously, the death of Evans' parents also brought some psychological trauma to Mathers.

It was from then on that Bishop Mathers lost the desire to continue to advance, and chose to live a bad life. He then sought the help of Professor Moriarty and became a spiritual councilor - that is, as a representative of the church, he could enter the round table hall without a knight or armor, participate in meetings and vote without an official position.

So far, there are only six spiritual councilors in Avalon. This is a very valuable identity. At the same time, it also means that a lot of Mathers' energy will be dispersed, and he will no longer focus on improving his extraordinary abilities.

"-Eagle Cape Village? "

At this moment, a somewhat sleepy but indifferent voice came from above.

It was Sherlock.

He was wearing thin clothes and slippers, and walked down the stairs slowly.

His hair was a little messy, and he was still a little confused just by looking at his face.

Sherlock, who woke up but not completely, subconsciously said: "Isn't that Haina's hometown?"
