Chapter 750: Chapter 134 Homeland Faction and Cardinal Favna_2 Chapter 750: Chapter 134 Homeland Faction and Cardinal Favna_2 He said this and laughed, “But actually, this matter is not important, just somewhat magical.

After all, Anastasia’s soul had long entered the Great Tree Nation, and my wife and I happened to have some free time.

So we decided to study it...

Compared to that, being acquainted with you is an even greater honor for us.”

Grace also smiled at Aiwass and performed an irisflower curtsy—a gesture Aiwass didn’t quite understand why it was necessary when wearing a short skirt.

When Sherlock heard their surnames, he covered his forehead, obviously feeling a headache coming on.

In that era, it was only the elves who had such strange customs: the surnames of a family could all be completely different and often sound peculiar.

Because an elf’s surname is the name of a specific heritage, it must have significance, thus it can only be translated for its meaning and not transliterated; and since a child’s talents, hobbies, and strengths may not necessarily be inherited from their parents, parents often would not pass their own heritage down to their children.

...

On the other hand...

since elves as the main inheritors in the longevity species usually have multiple paths, a surname, in another sense, can also give a quick indication of the other party’s general path.

The surnames of these two were not too rare, Aiwass had studied them in Avalon’s library.

For example, the Rock Excavator heritage is primarily based on the Path of Wisdom, but it also requires a level in the Path of Dusk; Withered Leaf Butterfly is a heritage of adaptation, beauty, and the three paths of dusk, demanding a considerable level of dance skill.

Knowing the other party’s surname, you can basically understand their personality, strengths, and preferences; but that doesn’t mean Maxim couldn’t have the Path of Devotion or even the adaptability and Transcendent level of the Path of Transcendence.

Although an elf’s surname is not decisive, it still has some referential value.

And Aiwass understood why the two were so amiable and even respectful towards him, “Are you opponents of the Controlled Flame faction?”

“That’s right.”

Maxim nodded, “Our family are all elves of the ‘Homeland Faction.’ Those Controlled Flame people...

without discussing whether they are radical or progressive, I at least think they haven’t done anything substantive.

They are just shouting slogans.”

“Homeland Faction?”

Sherlock looked at Aiwass with some confusion.@@@@

He had come here yesterday, but they hadn’t discussed such topics at all.

Therefore, if such material trades are not struck against, it is tantamount to encouraging murder.

If someone is killed, their body can be dismembered and sold at a high price to Ritualists or Necromancers, which effectively increases the murderer’s profit.

Most people can’t sell directly to buyers, naturally leading to the emergence of middlemen—with an enormously lucrative margin.

It is even highly likely to form an evil black-market chain, serving as a downstream industry helping other grey and black industries dispose of bodies.

Profits from these activities could, in turn, nourish the upstream industry, providing stronger protection or secretly cultivating powerful Ritualists, Cursing Sorcerers, and Necromancers.

As a great wizard himself, Cardinal Cyril has a good understanding of rituals and curses.

Thus, he knows which materials are valuable—simply reversing the investigation can target the problem precisely.

This is equivalent to him weakening the power of his own heritage to reduce the earnings of murderers and evil organizations worldwide...

For him, this is naturally equivalent to a kind of dedication.

If not for the efforts of the supervisors, the Noble Red, already difficult to deal with, would be even more so with adequate supplies of ritual materials.

However, generally speaking, the supervisors are mainly active in Parthian Ancient Country and Antimony Kingdom.

When Aiwass first heard Mage Maxim’s evident hostility toward Cardinal Loki, he thought he belonged to the Relic Restoration Assembly.

And in response to Aiwass’s question, Maxim nodded, “Yes, I was indeed part of the Relic Restoration Assembly initially.

But then I realized that conservatism itself is meaningless...

Thanks to Cardinal Favna’s teachings, I understood how to make the most valuable use of my life.”

“Can you tell me about it?”

Aiwass said, asking.

“The Homeland Faction is the church faction to which Cardinal Favna belongs...

Cardinal Favna is the administrator of the Third Ring; her highest doctrine is ‘The most enduring and continuous dedication is construction.’

Maxim passionately introduced—or should I say, preached—to Aiwass: “Your Avalon’s ‘Hall of Silver and Tin’ was built by Cardinal Favna.

The other Elven Style buildings are the same...

Even Avalon’s orphanages, nursing homes, and church schools were all built under our supervision...”
