With Philip's help, Aiwass arrived at the port at extremely fast speed.
But of course he didn't look for them one by one... That would be like looking for a needle in a haystack, which was stupid and extremely inefficient.
Aiwass immediately revealed his identity as a minister without charge, and with an extremely tough attitude ordered all ships to immediately stay for six hours and conduct an additional round of comprehensive cargo inspection.
This is a completely reasonable request and falls within the purview of the Trade Secretary.
Now that the position of Minister of Trade is vacant, ministers can temporarily issue orders as long as they obtain the Queen's authorization.
Of course Aiwass didn't have Isabel's authorization, but he could just make it up later. He didn't expect to use such an order to stop the succubus Emma... But if Emma really wanted to leave with Yulia, then Isabel
It must be on the only ship leaving. He can also lock the approximate range.
After first locking down the possibility of Emma secretly taking away Yulia, Aiwass breathed a sigh of relief.
The "Minister Griffith" had expressed his desire to have Yulia's blood before, and he was related to the beholder, and the beholder was related to Emma. Emma directly kidnapped "Yuliya", most likely for the same purpose.
the goal of.
If possible, he actually hopes to find the succubus Emma in the Lloyd's Building - based on Aiwass's understanding of Emma during his brief contact, there is a high probability that she will hide "Yuliya" there.
Lloyd's headquarters and set up a trap; or take "Yulia"'s blood and wash her memory and send her directly back to Moriarty Manor; or take "Yulia" with her
Then the second round of negotiations with Aiwass took place.
And if she had to get Yulia anyway, then other subordinates who were coordinating at the port should take "Yulia" away directly, and then she would go back to the Lloyd's Building and pretend to be innocent to create an alibi.
Although the Great Guardian has no contact with Emma, he has rich experience. He roughly considered these possibilities at the first time.
That's why he arrived at the Lloyd's Building first and asked Aiwass to go to the port to check the situation.
——If Emma has come back, of course she will not leave at will. Her conspiracy must either be completed here, or she must be here to hide her actions.
So Emma's not here is nothing more than a few situations - either she is walking back but hasn't arrived yet, or she has set a trap and ambushed nearby, or she ran away directly with Yulia, or
She has killed or controlled Yulia and is taking blood.
Considering that Emma has a more or less official status, Aiwass feels that Emma should not dare to do anything too extreme.
After all, Aiwass yelled at her directly when they met - Emma, who was at the fifth level at that time, did not dare to do anything to Aiwass, who was at the third level.
From this, it can be inferred that Emma should be a relatively timid type.
She should adopt a relatively conservative strategy and prioritize saving herself rather than harming others.
Compared to fighting and killing, Emma prefers to use conspiracy and traps to weaken or control others... Of course, if she didn't have such a personality, she would definitely not awaken into an incarnation of the devil like a "succubus".
...Because of this, Aiwass always felt that the logic of Emma's behavior was a little weird.
Even if Yulia is to be captured, it seems that there is no need for the candle priest to arrest her, right? Wouldn't it be better to wait until you are ready to leave, or after you have already left?
Aiwass was a little confused.
Precisely because this was of no benefit to her at all and would only destroy Emma's original plan, Aiwass was somewhat unsure of what she wanted to do.
However, Aiwass and the Great Guardian have blocked the Lloyd's headquarters and the port respectively.
Next, we only need to slowly search an area.
In this case, Aiwass can use searching prayer.
Fortunately, Aiwass is a priest, so he has mastered a lot of messy prayer rituals.
The person-finding ritual is only effective when the target or clue is nearby. The advantage is that as long as the clue is nearby, you can definitely get it. There will not be a situation like the Eye of Avalon where "you should have seen it but you were blind but didn't".
.
So Aivas asked Philip to fly to the heights of the port.
Then he took out the ceremonial knife, and after a brief prayer to consecrate it, he thrust the sharp and strong ceremonial knife into the palm of his left hand, and the tip of the knife even faintly poked out from the back of his hand!
Because of the severe pain, Aiwass's face suddenly turned pale, and he trembled suddenly. He gasped for breath, and his body twitched uncontrollably twice.
Enduring the severe pain, Aiwass closed his eyes and solemnly prayed word by word: "I solemnly call you, noble fire stealer!"
"The god whose holy number is three, the god who binds his body with sin thorns, the god who burns his body to chase away the darkness - the stag of the candlestick!"
Although in theory, all priests are first and foremost followers of the Candlestick.
But this was the first time Aiwass was so devoted to Sizhu.
A golden-red light shone in his pupils, and little flames ignited in the fingers of his left hand that was holding the ceremonial knife tightly: "I beg you to descend into this blood fire!"
"I am a latecomer in the way of devotion, a priest of the Nine Pillars! I am Awas Moriarty!
"Please guide me on my path and tell me if there is any trace of the person I am looking for around me!
"I offer my own blood at this moment to pray for true knowledge. I swear that this blood is shed for the benefit of others. Please respond to me -"
Aiwass said, suddenly pulling the blade out of his palm and raising his left hand in front of his eyes.
The surging blood-red flame ignited from Aiwass's palm, and Aiwass's long hair and clothes were blown and trembled violently by the sudden storm.
Staring at the crimson flame, Aiwass suddenly had a vision in his vision.
He felt as if he was standing in front of some flame, with a sacred bonfire crackling and burning in front of him.
Please, Si Zhu...
Today is the Candle Priest - she disrupts your ceremony, charms your priests, harms innocent people on this holy day...
But soon, the storm roared past. The flame in Aiwass's hand gradually dimmed and extinguished, and the hallucinations in his eyes and ears gradually dissipated.
——There is no answer.
The instructions are not here.
"Not here, please go back a little bit."
Aiwass patted Philip on the back gently.
Phillip said solemnly: "No problem, I'll fly slower and stop when you tell me to."
"Okay, right here - please stop."
Aiwass quickly ordered.
This is a place that makes Aiwass feel a little familiar...or rather, the place where the dream begins.
Because at this moment, he was right under the location of the previously sealed "Pelican Bar". Now this bar has been sealed for a long time, and all the contents have been emptied. Now it has become an abandoned warehouse, with items stored in it.
Some stones.
Aiwass used the missing person ritual for the second time.
But this time the ceremony had a different reaction——
The flames spurting out from the left hand held by Aiwass in front of his eyes formed some kind of temporary illusion in Aiwass's eyes.
In a dark alley, he saw a little girl cowering helplessly.
There was an overturned basket next to her, and there seemed to be something in it. And she was still holding something tightly in her hands. She drew her shoulders inward and hugged her arms together. Her back was against the wall, as if she wanted to protect something.
In arms.
As the people around her slowly gathered around, her eyes were full of fear and unwillingness. She seemed to be afraid of being beaten, but she didn't use her hands to cover her head...
The hallucination only appeared for a brief moment, and the flame in Aiwass' hand dissipated.
But Aiwass was extremely excited, and there was no need to hold a new ceremony to confirm: "There is a reaction! I know the road——"
He did know the hallucinatory alley.
——Not only did he know him, but the crow sitting on Aiwass's shoulder also knew him.
Because that was the alley where the demonologist from Noble Red tried to sacrifice Aiwass to summon the Shadow Demon.
Under the guidance of Aiwass, Philip quickly arrived at the precise location given by Aiwass under the storm.
What Aiwass saw in his hallucinations before was not what had happened, but what was happening now.
The poor people who surrounded the little girl were blown away by the storm that fell from the sky before they could harm her or complete the robbery, and they lay on the ground in a miserable state.
They got up from the ground and saw the noble and white giant gryphon. They didn't even dare to say a word and ran away in fear. They didn't even dare to call out, didn't say a word, and just rolled and crawled.
Ran away.
Philip's majestic and complicated eyes stared at their fleeing backs.
Aiwass jumped down from the gryphon and tried to comfort the girl: "It's okay, it's okay..."
His words suddenly stalled for a moment.
Looking at the dirty, thin, thinly-clad girl, Aiwass suddenly realized that he seemed to know her.
This was the little girl who came to buy flowers from Aiwass when Haina took him to the Pelican Bar in a wheelchair!
Although the clothes Aiwass was wearing were not priest uniforms, the flower seller instantly recognized Aiwass's identity: "It's... a kind-hearted big brother!"
——Obviously, not everyone was kind to her during the days when she was selling flowers. Therefore, the few Aiwass who were friendly to her were firmly remembered in her heart.
She suddenly made up her mind, and seemed to have figured out something.
"Brother, I have money...I have money now..."
The girl said, and casually handed the stack of white crown coins she held in her hand to Aiwass with great heartache: "I'll give these money to you... I'll just take one...
"
She realized that she couldn't keep or spend the windfall she had received.
But she would not be willing to give them to those vicious people who wanted to harm her.
At that time, Aiwass gave her one red coin without asking for change. At that time, she returned the nine copper coins to Aiwass very seriously, just because she did not want to accept charity - even though she was just selling some items of poor quality.
A very good flower or a wild flower, but after all, she is not a beggar, nor does she stand up to sell.
Even though there are many "flower girls" of the same age who are engaged in that kind of business, she is not. She earns money through labor, and although it does not even make her full every day, she still has dignity.
...But that kind of dignity was shattered the moment the beautiful sister with a gentle smile handed her one hundred white crown coins.
If it's just one red coin, she can still return it. But if it's one white coin, she'll be in trouble. Not to mention it's one hundred white crown coins.
A plate of fried sausages, an omelette and a bowl of mashed potatoes cost only four copper coins, and one white coin could buy fifty of these delicacies. She couldn't even calculate how much one hundred white coins could buy.
All she knew was that it was a large amount of money that would keep her from going hungry for a long, long time... and even allow her to move directly out of the dangerous Lloyd District and live in a prosperous and safe urban area!
She can also invite a priest to cure her mother's illness, even go to school, or buy a new set of clean and warm clothes!
Maybe there were other things she could do, but she couldn't imagine it.
This huge sum of money made it impossible for her to return the money, so she could only accept it with sobs and tears.
She knew in her heart that she had to hide this huge sum of money, otherwise she would not survive tomorrow. But she couldn't help the throbbing in her heart... As a result, she reacted too much and was directly taken away by other people during the candle ceremony.
The gang members who had nothing to do and were idle took notice.
Soon, that beautiful dream was shattered like a shattered mirror. She woke up and realized that she had no power to change her destiny after all, and she might even die soon...
So she just wanted to give the money to a very small number of people who were kind to her.
——It’s better than having them taken away by those who bully you!
She clenched her fists and thought in her heart.
But when Aiwass saw the money, he was suddenly stunned.
One hundred white coins... Who would suddenly give such a huge sum of money to a poor person?
Either he is a noble man who is kind but doesn't know much about Lloyd's District, thinking he has done a good charity; or he is a bloodthirsty spectator with ulterior motives who wants to have fun.
Coupled with his own searching ritual...
The figures of the two people appeared in Aiwass' mind.
Isabel, or Emma.
So Aiwass immediately asked the girl: "Who gave you this money? Is it a beautiful sister?"
"right!"
The flower seller's eyes suddenly lit up, and the hand that was struggling to hand over the money became much smoother: "Brother, give the money back to her! I can't take so much..."
But Aiwass just pushed the money away and asked: "What color is her hair and what color are her eyes? How tall is she approximately?"
"White hair, very white, like snowdrops. And red eyes, a bit scary, but very beautiful, the color of roses... She is a little taller than me."
The girl replied obediently and gestured at the same time: "Just a little bit..."
Aiwass immediately confirmed that it was Yulia!
In other words, it’s Isabel dressed as Yulia!
--Finally found!
This girl's money has not been taken away yet, which means she probably hasn't gone far yet——
So Isabel is alive and safe!
Avas breathed a sigh of relief and felt as if the whole world suddenly became brighter.
