When the plot-skips players into the game world

Chapter 591: Chapter 13 Benchmark Worldline (7000 words, combined)_2 Chapter 591: Chapter 13 Benchmark Worldline (7000 words, combined)_2 Aiwass gazed at the dark clouds spreading outside the window, silently analyzing these tasks.

Those three trial tasks were essential for the job change—among them, the “Beacon of Hope” was a mandatory trial task for advancing Illuminators and Temple Guardian Monks, with at least one-third of the progress needing to be completed.

And the task “The Day of Ruin Approaches” obviously conflicted with the mandatory task.

This was a common task prepared for those ascenders who did not intend to help Isabel evacuate, a task available to all Paths.

Since the mandatory task must be completed, in principle, it did not offer points.

The extra five hundred points for helping Isabel escape had to be made up with other tasks—and evidently, with the disaster of Avalon imminent, evacuating to other countries was the safest choice.

The next best option was to leave Glass Island and hide in those small towns.

Aiwass did not know how large the map for this ascension ceremony was, but judging from this task…

it had to be at least larger than the entire Glass Island.

By integrating the demands of the tasks a bit, it meant getting Isabel to the Holy Nation.

During this process, he would save as many people as possible and bring them to safety.

He needed to rescue Sherlock as soon as possible.

He might have been captured while sending the message—it was hard to say where he was being held.

Then there was…

Aiwass had to kill Minister Drost again.

—He had to admit, this was the task Aiwass was most satisfied with.

He had let Lily have the chance last time; this time, he could finally do it himself.

Before, although Aiwass knew that Minister Drost had murdered Queen Sofia, he never knew how he did it…

Because the Ceremony of Avalon’s Shadow was clearly just one person short…

but after Queen Sofia was assassinated, the ceremony did not activate.

This indicated that for some reason, Queen Sofia’s death did not count towards that ceremony.

When Queen Sofia explained the Ceremony of Avalon’s Shadow to Aiwass, he had already harbored doubts.

Before that, he always thought it lacked two people.@@novelbin@@

The queen filled the second-to-last spot, and the last one was two years later, when the Fallen Celestial Marshal descended, and Star Antimony split, awakening the heart of the people’s puppet Isabel.

It sacrificed Isabel’s brother John, using the boy’s life to complete the ceremony, attempting to summon Lancelot.

But the queen said it lacked only the last one.

Now that Aiwass had seen the complete CG, he finally understood what had happened then.

The queen had said that at that time, besides herself, only three people knew about this counter-ritual.

As civilians, both Meg and Arius were unaware of this ceremony.

Since the civilian “bigwigs” of Avalon did not know, even Meg, the person Queen Sofia trusted the most, would not know, then it was unlikely that Sofia would reveal Avalon’s deepest secret to Yanis, a foreigner.

On the other hand, Isabel clearly did not know either.

In addition to George and Shafiya, the last one who might have known the ceremony could be Isabel’s father, Prince Albert.

It could also be Sherlock’s father or his brother or perhaps Prime Minister Camelot.

George died in that famous charge, and Shafiya was the person who escaped with Isabel.

But ultimately, when Isabel went to the Holy Nation, she was no longer by her side and most likely died during that time.

This could also explain why she died so quietly, and why the puppet Isabel could obtain related information.

Moreover, this ascension ceremony also introduced, for the first time, a task that was invisible and censored.

Although the task was censored, Aiwass felt that the blurred field’s length should be “Shadow of Avalon”.

—This could explain why there was still a need to ensure that “the survival rate of Glass Island’s civilians exceeds 70%”.

In the original “Autumn of Cruelty” event, although Glass Island was pounced on by the Gargoyle Legion, the colossi and the army really didn’t advance.

The main casualties were resisting Transcendents; Star Antimony did not directly attack civilians.

From the civilian perspective of the story, it was an assassin disguised as Isabel who poisoned Queen Sofia.

Then, seizing the opportunity, the people of Star Antimony invaded, exterminated Avalon’s Gryphon Legion, eliminated all Fifth Power Level Transcendents, and made the Avalonians feel the fear.

During this time, Princess Isabel acceded to the throne and ceded a large amount of interests for peace and continued the marriage alliances with Star Antimony.

Consequently, Star Antimony smoothly withdrew their forces…

Throughout this process, although civilians were seriously frightened and many cities were severely damaged, there were not actually many civilian casualties at this time.

They did not know that it was Minister Drost who poisoned the queen, that the real Isabel had already fled, nor were they aware that the Round Table Knights were killing each other, leaving only those associated with Star Antimony.

After all, at least half of the Founding Families remained complete, and both the Round Table Hall and the entire Avalon government were still operating normally.

They would only believe that the remaining died in that invasion and would not realize that the entire upper class had been replaced.
