Mysterious Catastrophe

Aaron came to the door, showed the invitation card, and was invited into the banquet hall.

Looking at the grove of wine and meat, he sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, a glass of wine in his hand, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

'Although it is a masquerade ball, in fact, acquaintances can still guess one or two... Not to mention, this is an extraordinary world. '

After a group of people entered, they immediately attracted the attention of the entire dance party.

Among them was a silver-white masked girl with long platinum hair, wearing a bright dance skirt, and a pair of transparent wings behind her.

That one should be Princess Sofia.

'Or... a substitute for the princess? '

Taking advantage of the attention of the princess at the ball, Aaron easily came to the second floor of the banquet hall.

There are many private rooms here, which are specially prepared for noble men and women who have an affair.

After all, high society seems to be polite, luxurious and extravagant...but in private, that's what it is.

"Come with me!"

When we reached the second floor, a masked girl in a maid's uniform was waiting immediately, and came to Aaron's side, lowering his voice.

The two walked into a room with good privacy and sound insulation, and the girl directly locked the door.

Immediately, she pulled away the oil painting on the wall.

After the oil painting, there is a shrine with symbols and statues representing the 'Keeper of the Secret'.

Aaron glanced at this 'Keeper of the Secret' with a blurry face, wearing a gray robe, with a bumpy figure, surrounded by decorations like the fog of history.

'Um? 'Keeper' turns out to be a female figure?It was the first time I saw his idol. '

'Anyway, Lord Faneuil's family hides such things, and if the church finds out, his whole family will be burned to death. '

A thought flashed in Aaron's mind, and he saw the girl take off her mask and pray devoutly: "I invite the 'Keeper of Secrets' here!"

"You are the recorder of secret history, the witness of all histories, and the guardian of secrets!"

"I pray for your favor, I pray for your gift, I pray for you to keep this area 'secret'!"

……

Along with the prayers in the spiritual language, Aaron suddenly felt an inexplicable power lingering in the room.

Even if they recite the honorable names of other Si Sui in this room, they will never hear them again.

And everything that happens will be strictly kept secret, and all divination and investigation will be cut off.

"Is this... the authority of 'keeping secrets'?"

Aaron murmured.

"I've identified myself."

At this time, the girl turned around, revealing her delicate cheeks and purple eyes: "Are you that person?"

There was scrutiny, suspicion, and solemnity in her eyes... She was not mature enough to look like a young girl.

"Yes... According to the agreement, I will solve the 'Son of Daybreak'!" Aaron sighed.

"That monster in Mithra's Palace, it should have died a long time ago!" A trace of hatred flashed across Princess Sophia's face.

"With all due respect, why did His Majesty the Emperor make this decision?" Aaron was curious, so he asked directly.

"Do you need a reason to kill that monster?" Princess Sophia asked back.

Chapter 446 Planning Core

"Your attitude says it all."

Aaron nodded, knowing that there must be something inside the relationship between the 'Sons of Dawn' and the Sodom royal family.

"If you really want to know, let me tell you...my royal father decided to kill that monster because he always stood by the church...although he was born with the blood of our Sodom... "Princess Sophia sneered.

"Is it a struggle between kingship and theocracy?" Aaron knew he had guessed correctly.

Thinking of the crowd in the parade and what happened to Triss, he couldn't help but ask, "Why...you didn't share the benefits with the citizens?"

"The royal family is not idiots. Of course we have seen contradictions and the situation like a powder keg at the bottom... But we can't do anything about it." Sophia sighed: "My royal father seems to have supreme power, but even the commander of the imperial guards can't do anything about it." You may not be able to trust... not to mention, there is the church!"

"Church?" Aaron was surprised.

"The church wants more power. They secretly let the big nobles and big businessmen crazily oppress the workers and peasants. On the surface, they support the workers to fight for their own rights, fund and instigate their riots... and then use the demonstrations that broke out in various places to protest to my father the emperor. Demonstration!" Sofia explained.

Aaron was only half convinced of this explanation.

However, he knew that the church was competing with the royal family for power, which should be true.

And this Princess Sophia has converted to the 'Keeper of Secrets', and her ally status can barely be trusted.

"Okay, let's get back to the monster...why do you call him a monster?"

Aaron asked curiously.

"That's the nightmare of our Sodom!" Sophia's body trembled a little: "Do you really understand mythical creatures?"

"..." Aaron was speechless.

"The madness of the mythical creatures is even more serious than those under the crown... Or, they are born cold-blooded and indifferent... That freak was born with the blood of Sodom, but fell in love with the taste of our blood ... He likes to torture and devour us, and listening to Sodom's wailing is a wonderful lullaby for Him."

Princess Sophia's voice was cold, as if without a trace of emotion: "He lives in the Mithra Palace, and needs Sodom as a sacrifice every once in a while. In history, there were even three emperors who were eaten by him, because the more It is a pure bloodline similar to King Arthur, the more he attracts his fascination... Soon, it will be my turn."

"This is really..."

Aaron was a little terrified: "Okay... I believe you have killed the other party's determination, so, can I meet His Majesty the Emperor? Let's discuss how to deal with that monster..."

"No, there are too many eyeliners of the church around my father, and there is even the intuitive divination of that monster... and there is an 'unknowable' level blockade in the Mithra Palace, even if it is entered into a dream, a hallucination, etc., it is impossible to sneak into it." Sneak in..." Sophia shook her head: "I am the representative of the father, and I can sign all agreements on his behalf. If I can't agree to the conditions, then the father can't agree either!"

Aaron fell silent.

He has some understanding and pity for the royal family of Sodom.

Although 'Dawn' bestowed his heirs and made Sodom a royal family, he also demanded enough bloody rewards!

Naturally born mythical creatures are fundamentally two species from humans.

Just like human males don't understand how beautiful a female goat is, they only find goat meat delicious...

However, Princess Sophia also revealed a lot of news, so Aaron couldn't help but thank himself for his previous caution.

If you want to plan a "living immortal" who is good at divination, the secret-keeping authority of the "secret keeper" is also necessary!

"Okay...but we have to sign a contract first. Are you willing to fight against the 'Son of Daybreak' with me and never betray him before finally killing him?"

Aaron asked seriously.

"I am willing!" Princess Sophia saw something and replied solemnly.

"Very well, this contract has been notarized, and those who violate it will be punished by fate." Aaron, who notarized the oral contract with the 'Law of Accident', announced in a solemn voice.

"Then... Next, tell me about your plan."

Princess Sophia stared at Aaron: "If I find that it is not feasible, then I will stop immediately, we only have one chance!"

"I know."

Aaron breathed a sigh of relief: "My plan is very simple, and I need very little help from you... As long as you can get the 'Son of Daybreak' to sign a contract that has been notarized by me, verbal is fine, and then let the other party violate it! "

After making up his mind to kill a 'mortal immortal' who was highly suspicious of a high-ranking person of the same path as himself, Aaron has been thinking about what method to use.

The other party knew the details of the 'perfect person', but I didn't know the other party's high-level abilities.

For low-quality Extraordinary, the most terrifying thing is the high-level existence of this path!

"If you want to succeed with one blow, you need to rely on something that I have that the 'Son of Dawn' doesn't have..."

' That's the 'law of accident'! '

Even if he is in command, he dare not say that he can control his fate.

Aaron was able to awaken the "Law of Unexpectedness" in the stage of "Perfect Man" entirely because of the special personality of the "Spirit of Illusion".

The 'Son of Daybreak' is only a descendant of the god of the year, so the awakened 'Law' must not involve fate!

This is Aaron's core plan!

"A contract?" Sophia blinked.

"It can also be an agreement, and the other party needs to agree to it personally, but it can't arouse the other party's suspicion..." Aaron sighed.

Playing this in front of a high-level divination master, if there is no 'Secret Keeper' behind the support, there is no need to think about it.

"After the other party actually violates the agreement, everything will be handed over to me. I will personally take action and kill the 'Son of Daybreak'!"

Sophia was obviously taken aback, and unconsciously used the honorific title: "You...you are the 'Eternal Life'?"

"It's not...but you may be familiar with my other identity - 'Feathered Serpent'!" Aaron replied with a smile.

"So you are Feathered Serpent!" Sophia obviously knew something about the wanted felon of the Empire.

Originally, he was angry at the opponent's arrogance, and he was curious about the fact that the 'Son of Daybreak' had nothing to do with himself.

At this time, it turned into a little confidence.

After all, to be able to do this kind of thing, at the very least, he should be the best in the sixth essence.

Maybe...it can really create a miracle?

She couldn't help but asked expectantly: "If you make a move, how sure are you?"

"If you can really let the 'Son of Daybreak' sign the contract I notarized and then break the contract, probably [-]% to [-]%."

Aaron thought for a while and gave an answer.

"That's enough."

Sophia made up her mind: "Our royal family will fully support you!"

"Well, so the key is how to get the 'Son of Dawn' to sign a contract that seems normal but will be violated afterwards." Aaron smiled.

Chapter 447 Concession

After a short meeting with Princess Sofia, Aaron left the box and went to the ball to continue his role as a "businessman looking for a way into high society".

Sophia watched Aaron's leaving back, restored the room to its original state with a cloudy expression, and walked into a private bathroom.

Not long after, the 'Princess Sophia' with a pair of wings on her back came in, and the two quickly exchanged their clothes...

A Princess Sophia who was exactly the same as before walked out with a smile.

As for the original actor, he became an illusory mirror image... slowly disappearing.

As the imperial family, they have collected a large number of magical items, so it is not surprising to do such a thing.

……

after prom.

Sophia returned to the Mithra Palace in a royal carriage, escorted by a musketeer guard.

After entering the gate of the palace, looking at the most conspicuous building in the center, Sophia's expression was very complicated.

'The largest palace in Mithra's palace does not belong to the emperor, but to the monster... What an irony! '

With a smile on her face that made everyone feel like a spring breeze, she walked into a side hall.

"My beloved daughter...how was the dance tonight?"

The emperor of the Ingvis Empire——Arthur IX looked like an ordinary old man. He was talking to his secretary at this time. When he saw Sophia coming in, a gratified expression appeared on his face.

"Lord Faneuil entertained me very well, and the ball was very interesting." Sophia held up the corner of her skirt and performed a lady's etiquette.

"That's good."

Arthur IX waved his hand, let the secretary back down, and brought Sophia to the study.

boom!

After the door was closed, the old emperor silently recited the honorable name of 'Keeper of Secrets', and his aura returned little by little, like an aging lion: "Then... what did the other party say?"

"The other party hopes that we can let the 'Son of Dawn' sign a contract that will inevitably be violated, and then he will have a great chance to assassinate the other party..."

Sophia narrated in detail.
