"...Originally I wanted to give it to Her Majesty the Queen. In terms of performance, this is obviously her exclusive weapon,"
Sherlock shook his head with some pity: "Now it seems... it's still not appropriate. I think it's too dangerous to let a Tiansi become the ruler of Avalon or something."
"really."
Aiwass also nodded in agreement: "I don't want Isabel to use this mask to become Xi Tiansi. If she just gets power, that's it... but if there is also a higher will mixed with it, I will still feel a little uncomfortable.
Peace of mind.”
Although Isabel also created several puppets of others...including Ligeia, Yulia, and even Aiwass himself. He himself also descended into Isabel's body when he split.
But these are people whom Isabel is familiar with and trusts, and she is convinced that their will is normal, their spirits are healthy, and their minds do not carry any unspeakable pollution...
On the other hand, Isabel's own puppet has been handed over to many people. For example, Lily, Selene, Ligeia or Saint George...these people who have obtained Isabel's puppet are all Isabel's descending vessels. As long as Isabel gives
They make a phone call and ask them to put on masks, and Isabel's will and soul can directly come to each other across time and space.
——However, they all have one thing in common, that is, their status is equal. The initiative is actually in the hands of the person wearing the mask... The person wearing the mask actually has a clear awareness of being a bystander.
And it can take over the operation at any time. Even if it is automatic driving, it can be switched to manual at any time.
It's like the person wearing the mask shares the operating rights with the owner of the mask through remote desktop. Although the owner of the mask can control the desktop, the person wearing the mask can also control the desktop. The two can even compete for the mouse, and
Both parties have permission to terminate sharing.
But Xi Tiansi's mask is not like that - it is a one-way control.
It was like Yassen's hands suddenly stiffened after putting on the mask.
This means that his own "original action" has been terminated directly. Unless he explicitly refuses Xi Tiansi to fight on his behalf, Xi Tiansi has the final say when to leave. Although he has sentience, he does not have the authority to control his body.
.
This is really too dangerous for the monarch of a country.
Especially since Tiansi was obviously a man of fun... This made Sherlock feel even more uneasy.
——But on the other side, Yasen became quite energetic.
"Xi Tiansi means that I can take him to have fun?"
Yasen, on the other hand, quickly understood the demands of Xi Tiansi, who was also on the path to beauty, through transformation and omission in his mind.
He was happy that his work had been recognized by Tiansi, and he accepted the work happily - even proudly: "This is a simple matter... From now on, I will wear the mask when I go out to act as a monster thief.
It’s okay if you can’t go up.”
"Although this thing is essentially Xi Tiansi's wall-breaking technology... but it is indeed a generous gift to you."
Aiwass reminded Yassen: "After all, it can actually save your life... If you encounter an enemy that you can't fight against, you can drag Xi Tiansi down to help you. Since you are his god,
For the sake of surrendering the container, Xitiansi will not sit idly by. You should respect Xitiansi more and try your best to meet his needs... This means that he can really pay attention to you at any time and help you immediately.
The divine being who saved you from the enemy."
"I understand."
Yasen waved his hand and didn't care: "Actually, my current Phantom Thief performance is basically to please my wife - she thinks I'm handsome like this. When I was young, I liked to use this kind of exaggerated
Performing to gain fame and show off abilities... But now I no longer need it. The most important thing is the money I can get - with this money, I can distribute it to people who need it more.
.
"To this day, I continue to perform in that exaggerated style, but it's actually quite tiring. I just don't want my followers to be disappointed... so it's just one more VIP audience, and
The audience is really kind to me - I am very adaptable to this kind of work."
"As long as you know how to count."
Aiwass nodded.
He realized that Yassen clearly understood the meaning and requirements of the mask and was willing to accept it from the bottom of his heart.
As expected, Yasen got another inheritance from Xi Tiansi!
The "Stealing Heaven Tantra" is probably also related to the power left by Xi Tiansi. His performance style is really similar to Xi Tiansi...
But if you think about it carefully, Xi Tiansi is indeed a genius, and he can actually bypass the wall of equilibrium in this way.
Aiwas also suddenly understood why Xi Tiansi was so low-key in his previous life.
Looking back now, I do find it strange... How could such an active god of fun be so well-behaved in troubled times and not make any movement at all?
This is obviously impossible.
If the child is quiet, he is probably acting like a monster.
It's like when a naughty child is locked in his room, the parent is surprised to find "Hey, how come this child is so good today and doesn't cry or make trouble?" But in fact, the child is so naughty that he jumps out of the window.
Get out, climb over the wall and run away!
I am afraid that He has already found one or even several containers and has been wandering around the material world!
...No wonder Xi Tiansi seemed to know about the ceremony of the Ring of Endings, but he was not worried at all that he would be pulled down.
Since He is in the material world, the Ring of Ending Ceremony will naturally not be able to pull Him down!
"In that case," Aiwass said, "if Sherlock has no objection, this mask will be yours. Just give it a name."
"I have no objection."
Sherlock yawned and said nonchalantly.
"——Just call it [Mystery]."
Without too much thinking or hesitation, Yasen said directly: "'The mystery is the answer', I like this sentence very much."
"Speaking of which," Sherlock said suddenly, "the matter that the Duke asked me to investigate is also related to Xi Tiansi."
"oh?"
Hearing this, Aiwass became somewhat interested: "I heard Mycroft say it's the truth about the 'Third Rebellion'?"
The most talked-about thing about the Iris Kingdom is their humorous TV series "The Fourteenth Uprising".
They have been rebelling, changing political systems one after another, changing the country's title and flag up to four times in a year; the rulers have changed one after another.
If a group of students focus on preparing for college entrance examinations and fail to track external hot events in real time, it may even happen that thirty students in a class can give more than five answers when answering "What is the name of our country?"
From monarchy to republic to empire to constitutional monarchy and then to republic... The previous dynasty was restored repeatedly. It seemed that the forces that had been wiped out were resurrected within a dozen years. It was like a few people competing in sit-ups.
, and this doesn’t even count such mundane matters as cabinet changes.
The Iris people seem to have an underlying logic engraved in their genes - if you encounter a problem and the problem cannot be solved, just replace it with a group of people above you.
What if the problem is not solved? Then change another batch.
Iris people are impatient, they are too impetuous. They must see results immediately.
As a result, everyone has their own ideas and opinions. Orders are changed day after day, and no one in this huge kingdom can implement a policy for more than 20 years. With Star Antimony almost falling apart due to internal strife, and Avalon closing itself off, Iris
The flowers are also trapped in a cycle of internal friction.
It can only be said that the countries that split from the former Herasl Empire do have their own unique skills.
And now...
Judging from what Sherlock meant, could there be someone behind this?
"There is not enough evidence for the other times. But at least in the 'Third Rebellion' - that is, in the operation to behead the last king of Iris, there was indeed guidance from Xi Tiansi."
Sherlock said slowly: "But this is not the reason for my investigation. The Duke of Vendôme seems to have known that Xi Tiansi was involved in this matter from the very beginning... He should have some kind of cooperation with Xi Tiansi, so he is usually extremely
Only the mysterious Xi Tiansi appears here - I even think that his belief may be Xi Tiansi.
"——The real problem is that the original 'script' got out of control."
"...You mean, the plot originally arranged by Xi Tiansi was not 'regicide'?"
Aiwass realized what Sherlock meant: "Then the Duke of Vendôme asked you to investigate this matter from the dream world..."
"It is to avoid the prophecy spell. Any actions taken in the material world will leave traces and be captured by astrology."
As Sherlock spoke, he pressed his right hand burning with blue flames on the table and burned all the documents on his table.
If it were in the material world, such behavior would surely cause a raging fire that spread throughout the library. But this is in the dream world, so just resetting the painting will be fine.
He glanced at Aiwass with a deep look: "I suspect...this matter may be related to your grandfather."
