Chapter 670
Chapter 670: Chapter 64 Youth and Adolescence_2 Chapter 670: Chapter 64 Youth and Adolescence_2 Albert flipped through his notebook, “And there is the serious investigation into the Ceremony of Avalon’s Shadow…”
“The last one, I have seen it,” Aurora supplemented, “The ceremony is real.
Lancelot was indeed resurrected, and afterward, he devoured Aiwass.
Then he went mad…
When he went mad, he became extremely powerful.
But it seems like Aiwass’s soul is within him.
I must have been saved by Aiwass, otherwise, I would have died too.”
She honestly recounted everything she last remembered.
Despite Aurora’s rare burst of so many words in one breath, Albert blinked in confusion.
—To be honest, he didn’t understand.
Aurora usually liked to remain silent, a very quiet girl.
Often, she would sit in a corner of the classroom, quietly flipping through textbooks, and during the classes of “Human Dissection” and “Decoration and Patchwork” that the other students looked forward to, she always stood quietly on the outer edge of the crowd, never pushing forward or competing with other students for the precious corpse materials.
Every time the corpses were distributed, what reached her were only the parts nobody wanted.
It was only after she demonstrated an extremely strong talent for Preservation Arts that a teacher recruited her as an assistant.
She was mainly in charge of preserving bodies—whether it was keeping fresh bodies or maintaining Patchwork Corpses, assistants skilled in Preservation Arts were required.
Aurora’s talent for Preservation Arts was the best.
At that time, she and Albert were in the same laboratory.
Albert was diligently patching corpses while she either shrank in the corner reading a book or stood far away, watching Albert work on the corpses.
She never spoke or disturbed him.
Sometimes, Albert felt as if she had already left.
But when he looked up, he saw she was still there and, realizing his gaze, she would look up at him in confusion.
…Quite cute.
Thinking this, Albert remembered the girl.
After they became more familiar, their mentor Fernando also noticed this studious and talented student.
On Albert’s recommendation, Fernando recruited her as his own student.
Although Aurora was not like Albert who could directly assist the mentor with his research, she was meticulous and earnest in fulfilling her responsibilities as an assistant when needed.
Unlike his strictness with Albert, Fernando was quite caring toward Aurora.
Knowing Aurora had no parents and therefore no money, he not only brought her snacks and drinks, but also took her and Albert out to eat—something Albert never experienced when he was Fernando’s student.
After getting familiar with them, Aurora started talking a bit more.
But even saying she talked a bit more was overstating it; mostly, Albert could never really understand…@@novelbin@@
Their mentor, on the other hand, surprisingly could.
—It was clear she was trying hard to express herself, but it always felt like she was omitting a lot.
It was as if she was speaking all the words in her heart but then didn’t say them out loud.
…If it had been the mentor, he certainly would have understood what Aurora was trying to say.
Albert felt a little dejected.
Now, with the mentor gone…
I’ve got to take good care of Aurora.
Albert made up his mind.
Having seen the final summary scene, he had a vague feeling…
perhaps the mentor had been deceived.
Because Albert, on the Guardian Gryphon, saw everyone on that ship at the end.
Nearly everyone who had gathered at Moriarty Manor was there.
In that instant, Albert thought of a new possibility—
A simple process of elimination.
There were six people in the summary scene, and Aurora was not among them.
If the Knight who fought to the death at the Hall of Silver and Tin at the start was indeed the pirate…
then the only ones not explicitly shown were Fox, Physician, Lulu, and Cheese.
But “Fox” was the first of them all, Albert promptly ruled out the possibility of him being mocked and leaving the scene.
The mentor had also said that Bishop Mathers was probably the Fox…
Given Mathers’s regression at the time, the last explosion could have been his doing.
With the remaining three never seen from beginning to end, and the only empty scene being that flying ship, there was one within who had contributed almost as much as himself.
Albert could only think of one person.
That was “Lulu.” She was ranked third and also from the Path of Beauty.
Similarly, Princess Isabel was also from the Path of Beauty.
—Could there be a possibility that Princess Isabel was actually Lulu in disguise?
With that, it would explain why Bishop Mathers said, “Aiwass and Isabel are closely related.” That was information only someone from outside would know.
And Albert remembered another thing.
At their entry, the little girl called Cheese who appeared last said something.
She said—
“Is that Sister Lulu?
And Brother Fox—It’s Cheese, long time no see!”
In other words, Cheese had once been in the same advancement ceremony as Fox and Lulu.
It was highly improbable for it to be a coincidence that all three were lined up together.
So, there was a high likelihood that Fox and Lulu were together!
So the three of them were together, but the meeting point was snatched by Fox and Lulu.
And if Fox and Lulu were together, then the second-ranked “Pirate” must also be with them.
Considering that the Pirate was very likely to be someone from the Avalon Supervisory Bureau or Inspectorate, then Fox and Lulu were definitely Avalonians.
What do you think?
