Chapter 1042 -380 Isabel’s Growth_2

“…That would cause controversy, wouldn’t it.”

Isabel blurted out: “Isn’t this just drawing hatred toward Master Nobel?”

She was already very smart. Under Aiwass’s intentional or unintentional training, she had an almost instinctual sharpness to interpersonal relationships.

Especially the current Star Antimony—they had just been defeated in the war with Avalon, their original contempt and arrogance toward Avalon would have turned 180 degrees. At this time, Master Nobel, who was once driven to Avalon out of jealousy, would definitely be either despised or praised for this reason.

Despised because his help certainly increased Avalon’s strength, thus tipping the balance of victory;

While praised because if “he had not left Star Antimony for this reason,” the outcome of the victory would still be unknown!

If the media is willing and no one stops them, they could even exaggerate Nobel’s importance to an unlimited degree from the public opinion level, elevating it through a chain reaction to the critical point that decides the outcome of the war—Isabel believed that at least this step is definitely achievable.

In such a case, having a “student of Nobel” come out to “clear his name”, aggressively seizing other people’s patents and reputation. If people became fanatical, anyone who stands in his way at this time would similarly be labeled as “jealous and fearful,” becoming the “culprit squeezing out the talented from Star Antimony.”

—Even though it was their own invention, they did nothing wrong, yet they could be attacked by fanatics just for claiming their rightful rights…

Just thinking about it, Isabel, with her strong empathy, felt an indescribable discomfort and suffocation.

“…If I were these researchers, even if I knew this person was a fraud, I would probably still feel disgusted with Master Nobel.”

Isabel said softly.

Yulia nodded: “And many more people don’t know about this, because they weren’t very familiar with Teacher Nobel to begin with. As Teacher Nobel was suddenly being touted, quite a few of these Alchemic Masters have spoken out to make people think rationally. With the emergence of this ‘only student’, people felt they have realized the truth—that they are simply trying to oppress the numerous actions that aim to vindicate Teacher Nobel out of jealousy and fear.”

“Therefore, when this news came back, Teacher Nobel was very angry. He wanted to return to Star Antimony to clear his name, and just at that time, Count Leipzig planned to hold an Alchemy apprentice competition in Leipzig City…So Professor Leipzig wants to take me with him to participate, and by the way, personally transfer all his patents and property to me, passing on his true social connections to me.”

“…This must be a conspiracy by Star Antimony.”

Isabel made a sharp judgment: “I feel something is not quite right.”

But she was still thinking, so she just held Yulia tighter while contemplating, “You first tell me…What do you think?”

“—I also think it’s a conspiracy.”

Yulia said seriously: “If the teacher is murdered secretly, then no one could explain ‘that person is not his student.’ And his death would further intensify the internal contradictions in Star Antimony, and might even become fodder for the fraud.”

“No,” Isabel frowned, “I feel that the whole situation is not quite right. But I can’t put my finger on what is wrong…”

So Yulia stopped talking too, just waiting quietly for Isabel to organize her thoughts.

Suddenly, Isabel spoke up: “Could there be a possibility…the target is you?”

“Me?”

Yulia was stunned.

She never considered this possibility.

But Isabel had realized: “When I was attacked by Enchanting Demon Emma, she was using your face… No wonder!”

She still didn’t understand why Emma wanted to abduct Yulia.

At that time, she could only guess that perhaps it was a conspiracy targeting Aiwass. By kidnapping Yulia, they were aiming to force Aiwass to hold back, thereby restraining or even wooing Aiwass, and then controlling her, controlling the whole of Avalon.

But now she finally realized retrospectively—the Stibnite people might have aimed at getting Yulia from the start!

If this is taken as the motive, everything becomes clear!

“…Since I’m the target,” Yulia tensed up at once, “I won’t go. Otherwise, it might cause trouble for Aiwass…”

She had already heard from Isabel during dinner a few nights ago that Star Antimony had fallen into anarchy, the Monarch had died again, and the First Red Prime Minister had been killed by “Miss Aleister”—that was Aiwass’s alter ego and pseudonym. Considering that the Holy Nation hadn’t come looking for trouble, it was likely not Aiwass who had acted, and the death of Star Antimony’s Monarch had been “natural”.

In other words, the situation in Star Antimony was chaotic enough that their own King could suddenly die.

However, Yulia was only a Third Level Alchemist.

She had not yet ascended to become an Upper Transcendent and would probably find it difficult to even protect herself…

“…No, wait.”

Isabel suddenly had an idea: “You can go.”

“But…”

“—Because I will go with you.”

Isabel answered.

Her eyes brightened: “Star Antimony is currently without a Monarch, only the former Queen Consort is governing as regent—and that Queen is an old friend of my grandmother, and has met me before. It is very reasonable for me to visit in the name of state affairs at this time.”

“It happens that the war in Star Antimony has also stopped—just yesterday, Narcissus Duchy was established, and Star Antimony opted to acknowledge the fact. By inference, Blackhawk Duchy should also be close to establishing itself… At this point, Star Antimony must be in such internal turmoil that they are miserable. With the Red Chancellor’s trend and the Black Chancellor’s Silence, I guess they must have turned into a mess.”

“At this moment, my state visit can further muddle the situation. Whether it’s Narcissus, Black Hawk, or Star Antimony, all of them are eager for an ally. Avalon is a very credible ally—even though they were trying to invade Avalon not long ago, but now they will vie to bow their heads for the goodwill and recognition from Avalon.”

“Meanwhile, for us, splitting Star Antimony into three parts is also beneficial for the stability of Avalon.”

In the past, such things were done by the Stibnite or Irisflower People.

But Isabel felt that she could do it too—

Her talent was imitation.

She had imitated Aiwass’s thinking patterns before, and also Mrs. Yanis’s piano playing and painting. As an artist, she might have a hard time achieving something of her own. This is also why she is currently stuck at the Fourth Level.

But as a Monarch… her imitative talents enabled her to grow even faster.

And if she imitates enough people, fruits that belong to her own will also emerge from it, I suppose.

“Since I’m going to visit Star Antimony, the Queen’s Guard will naturally follow. With the support of the Holy Nation’s strength, the chaos in Star Antimony will become inconsequential—you and Master Nobel will also be protected.”

Isabel’s mood became buoyant.

But she cautiously said: “However, we still have to wait a bit—tonight is Aiwass and Aleister’s ascension ceremony, and the snow has not stopped. After all, we need to travel, and the competition is about to start, so we must wait for the snow to stop.”

“I’ll confirm the specific details with Aleister in my dream in a couple of days.”

“Ascension ceremony…”

Yulia was momentarily dazed: “Is Brother already about to ascend to the Fifth Power Level? But I’m only…”

She hadn’t even reached the Fourth Level yet.

She bit her lip, feeling a sense of urgency.

Even if she couldn’t be of much help… she didn’t want to be left too far behind.

Thinking this, Yulia lifted her head to look at Isabel.

She must be thinking the same…
