Chapter 707: Miss Aleister's Triple Identity

The honey badger frowned tightly.

She naturally knew what Aiwass meant. Leaving aside the details, this method was often used by Hawkeye, and it was not considered to be very advanced or dark.

But...where did His Holiness the Pope find a spy of this caliber?
A Moonchild who completely betrayed their race? Is that even possible?

The honey badger looked at the little girl carefully, but only felt a chill down his spine.

The girl was like an abyss, quietly absorbing all the light around her. A pure, horrifying evil thought almost stung her pupils.

At this moment, the crow perched on the girl's shoulder suddenly turned around, and its ruby-like eyes met the eyes of the honey badger.

The honey badger's fur almost instantly exploded - a strong sense of fear and murderous intent gripped her heart. The overwhelming force made her body numb, and she instinctively retreated into the shadows almost instantly...

But what frightened her even more was that her shadow, which she had tamed and could be transformed into a passage to another world at any time... like a shadow that could transform between solid and liquid at will, seemed to be solidified by that scarlet gaze!

She really couldn't suppress the fear in her heart just now, and used shadow stealth - but her shadow rejected her!
The last time she felt this spine-tingling sense of threat was when she was facing a perfect person!
——No, even a perfect person is not as good as that crow! Far from it!

Although the perfect man had a terrifying aura like a dragon, she knew that he had no experience as soon as she started to fight.

However, the combination of this little girl and the crow is just the opposite - it looks ordinary, but the more you look at it, the more it seems unfathomable.

A rather frustrating thought came to the honey badger's mind:
Such a monster...does it really need my protection?
Although he is a fifth-level master assassin, a top assassin who can even assassinate monarchs of other countries without taking into account the ban of the Theocracy, at this moment he can't help but doubt his own ability - if Hawkeye's colleagues knew this, they would probably think he was dreaming.

When the honey badger's hostility and scrutiny were dissipated by fear, she saw the girl raised her head and gave her a sweet smile.

The honey badger suddenly felt a chill in her heart - she realized that her thoughts were almost defenseless in the eyes of the other party.

...Can the Moon Child read minds?

"How should I address you?"

The honey badger's Adam's apple slid up and down with difficulty, and he asked cautiously in a slightly hoarse voice.

Although it was against her principles to use honorifics to address a Moon Child - however, since both parties were now serving the same master, "principles" could be adaptable to a certain extent.

"—Aleister Crowley."

At this moment, the girl said a name that made the honey badger's eyes widen.

The honey badger subconsciously looked at Aiwass.

Although Aiwass may not know it, but in Iris... Aiwass's gossip information has long been compiled into various stories by playwrights.

The people of Iris are not afraid of the drama that the people of Avalon dare not play - they are just the "ministers without responsibility" and the real prime ministers of Avalon! They dare to criticize the monarchs of other countries, even the monarchs of their own country, so what are they afraid of writing!
And in various stories about this young official, there is always an ambiguous lover who is inseparable from him...who is as famous as Isabelle, who has now become the Queen of Avalon.

——That is "Miss Aleister", who is as loyal and mysterious as the other half of Aiwass!
Some people say that Miss Aleister is a demon from Avalon. Some people say that Miss Aleister is the immortal child of the moon, a wealthy woman who survived the Empire. Some people say that Miss Aleister is a fallen angel wearing a widow's black dress with the flames of hell burning on her body. Some people say that she is a noble girl from the stars, or even a spy who was deceived and betrayed by Aiwass's charm...

But no matter which identity, there are always some counter-examples - even the "third daughter of the Crowley family" recognized by the Star Antimony people, the demonologist who contracted the Shadow Demon... Honey Badger didn't completely believe it. Or rather, she didn't believe it at all.

That was necessary common sense for her as a supernatural being walking in the dark: a person who joined the Army's First Special Operations Force could not have such a complete record outside. It was even more impossible for her to specifically note that "General Leo Carl of the Carl family was her mentor."

If this was truly an accidental leak, then there should be at least five or six possible mentors. The Crowley family, their side families and relatives, and even civilians and foreigners with the surname Crowley would also be included in the list. It would be impossible to simply write that this was "the third daughter of the current head of the family."

The information was so complete and so real that the honey badger felt it was fake at first sight. Now, she met this "Miss Aleister" for the first time.

She knew immediately that the rumors were all false.

The only one who could give her such a sense of oppression was a sixth-level demon... and the only one who could change freely and have such an evil temperament was a sixth-level demon. At the same time, Miss Aleister herself did not pose any threat to her at all... This meant that her true body was at most the fourth level.

A demonologist of the fourth energy level can tame a demon of the sixth energy level. There is only one explanation for this.

——"Miss Aleister" must be a god or an apostle who descended from the dream world!
Only they can get the protection of completely loyal and world-class extraordinary people or phantoms when they are weak enough!

The honey badger vaguely remembered... the dream world intelligence they bought from the black market some time ago said that several apostles of the Path of Love had lost contact for many years and might have been reincarnated.

One of them could be Miss Aleister, the Child of the Moon!

Seeing the honey badger's fearful and cautious look, Aleister suddenly laughed: "Of course, this is my real name...

"Besides this, I have some other identities. For example..."

As she spoke, a black mist spread from bottom to top and enveloped her entire body.

The next moment, she turned into Aiwass.

But he is different from the holy and noble Pope beside him... Perhaps it is because his pupils are flashing with the scarlet light of the path, the Aiwass she transforms into always has an lingering arrogance and evil spirit.

“…A substitute for Aiwass.”

"Evans" said in a gentle tone and accent that was exactly the same as the real Aiwass: "And..."

As the black mist rose again, she changed into another image.

An image of a honey badger that he had seen in an Avalon newspaper while searching for intelligence.

She was an adult woman with a dignified temperament, wearing a dark red, maximalist-style long dress from the Herasil Empire period.

She had long straight hair that fell to her waist and wore glasses. Her emerald green eyes gave her a cold temperament.

She wore a black crystal cross on her chest, and black silk stockings made of elven mercerized cotton under her skirt. On the stockings, two profound mottos were written vertically in silver alchemical characters:

"The sun is the father and the moon is the mother."

"Greed by the wind, nurtured by the earth."

"In this identity... my name is Bayard."

The woman took off her glasses and let her hair hang loose like silk.

Her pupils were already filled with the power of the Son of the Moon, turning into a dark red color like venous blood and red wine.

"—— Baroness Vignes Emile Zola Bayard. I will mainly act in this capacity while on Star Antimony. As for the other person I want you to bring with you, I will take you to see him later.

"We are going to the city of knowledge, Leipzig, by ship—the tickets have been booked, and we are leaving tonight."
