Sherlock's thinking can be said to be simple and clear.
The essence of drama lies in unexpected fate, and a large part of human destiny comes from the unpredictable human heart. Because of this, drama can be achieved by simply manipulating the human heart.
——In fact, just do the opposite, that is, eliminate all the "human heart" part.
By collecting enough objective information, we can calculate the absolutely correct "truth". All actions are carried out according to the most rigid and stereotyped model, without any selfish thoughts, and many plans are set up to eliminate all unexpected interference...
"Nothingness" constructed based on "beauty" and "transcendence" can be cracked through the integration of "wisdom" and "authority" paths.
But the problem is...
"We don't have much time, Sherlock."
Aiwass emphasized: "The needle has passed zero - it is now the twentieth."
Hearing this, Sherlock was shocked and realized something.
The old Duke, Anne and Yassen didn't know why.
Aiwass looked back at his "genuine grandfather" and "blood mother" and told the information: "My wedding with Isabel is scheduled for the 22nd.
"So at the latest - I must return to Avalon on the night of the 21st."
"...Is there still such a thing?"
The old Duke's voice was raised a few notes: "The day after tomorrow?"
Even though it was the first time he met Aiwass, their blood connection was undeniable - just by looking at him, he felt extremely familiar and friendly.
For an old man, there is probably nothing more important than the marriage of a younger generation——
But Anne seemed a little timid.
She wanted to say something...but she didn't dare and was timid. In the end, she didn't say anything.
"——What a son of the moon, what a swan king, these are not important."
The old Duke said without hesitation: "You should rush back to get married first - it's just nonsense. We are getting married in two or three days. Why would you come to a foreign country alone to do business? If not, it happens..."
It just so happens that we are a family - but the old Duke did not say the words directly, but vaguely, and then looked at Sherlock angrily: "Is bringing this boy back more important than your smooth marriage?"
"Sherlock is an important friend to Isabel and I."
But Aiwass did not evade at all, and said extremely seriously: "It is thanks to Sherlock that Isabel and I got to know each other."
"...That's it."
When the old Duke heard this, he fell into silence.
After all, he didn't know what level of harm was involved in the "Empty Box" incident, so it was reasonable to want to shelve it.
But Aiwass didn't dare - after all, getting married is not just about the wedding day. There are still a lot of troublesome things to do in the future... Once it is involved, I don't know how long it will take to get over.
Let Sherlock investigate alone, and he may fall into crisis. His personal strength is too weak and does not match his own wisdom; but it would be even more outrageous to leave Isabel and run with Sherlock.
.
Now that I think about it carefully, I am afraid that Aiwass has only remembered this incident until now, or that the dream-walking monks who passed by the Iris Kingdom did not realize that the dream world was closed, and perhaps they also had the influence of the Box of Nothingness.
As long as you don't see it exactly, you will ignore it; and if you notice it, you will be misled by it. This is also a very advanced "hiding", and it is easier to use than hiding in a specific place——
It hides the whole thing in a blind spot of attention and memory.
"——It's better to resolve this matter completely, so that I can go back with peace of mind."
Aiwass said so.
"Go back with confidence..."
Suddenly, the old Duke glanced at Anne and said, "Then you don't have to come back, do you?"
Hearing this, Annie, who had been struggling with something and lowering her head, suddenly opened her eyes wide, raised her head and looked at Bing Xin Gong expectantly, and then at Aiwass, but still lowered her head.
Aiwass is not a wooden person like Sherlock.
He has a good grasp of people's hearts - Aiwass guessed what Anne meant as early as the beginning.
She wants to attend Aiwass's wedding.
But now Aiwass is called Aiwass Moriarty. His biological parents are dead, and there are even a few people who know them. At this time, Anne is not suitable to come forward anyway. If
It would be even more outrageous to disguise Aiwass's mother as someone who "actually faked her death before."
After all, she was not the one who actually gave birth to Aiwass. She was not even the one who married Aiwass's father... and she did not take care of Aiwass when he grew up.
Unlike the old Duke, the Duke of Argan de Vendôme could really attend the wedding of Aiwass as an elder. After all, Anne Alexander was indeed called Anne de Vendôme. But Anne was very
Awkward—she had only known Aiwass for less than an hour.
This made it impossible for her to make that request anyway.
Aiwass still had some grudges about this.
Unlike Haina or Yulia, Anne obviously knew about the "Swampman" technology. Even the old Duke, an outsider, knew about it.
Considering that the developer of Swampman technology was Aiwass's grandfather... it was even very possible that she voluntarily participated in the experiment and voluntarily separated her other self.
Perhaps it was because she wanted to challenge the "cold disease curse" in her bloodline, perhaps because she knew that Aiwass's father, Julio, could not gain the approval of the old Duke, or perhaps because Julio was unwilling to leave Avalon and go to Iris Garden.
A son-in-law, of course there may be other possibilities...
But no matter what the motivation was, Anne who chose to return to her hometown was actually equivalent to choosing to leave.
"Of course I will come back. After all, this is also my... home."
Having said this, Aiwass's expression became somewhat stiff.
The Duke's Palace of Vendôme was too unfamiliar to him. Even if the old Duke could recognize his identity at a glance and accepted him... this place was still too unfamiliar to Aiwass.
Even the Palace of Silver and Tin is far from as grand and luxurious as the Palace of the Dukes of Vendôme.
He also solemnly requested the old man: "I also ask you to go back with me and attend this wedding as... my elder."
Aiwass didn't know if Isabel's father, Albert, could come back on time. But Isabel had said it sternly, and if he didn't come back, he would be considered dead - Aiwass would not doubt whether Isabel could be ruthless.
Her Majesty the Queen sometimes means exactly what she says.
If he can't come back... the old Duke of Vendôme may be the only direct elder of the two of them who can appear.
——The other three generations up are all dead.
It makes people very unbearable.
"Although I haven't been out for a long time..."
The old Duke showed a satisfied smile: "But if it is your request, then of course I am willing."
And Sherlock made a confused voice: "Well, Aiwass..."
"——Of course, I will also solve the problem of the empty box."
Aiwass changed the topic and promised: "Give me twenty-four hours, tonight at the latest - I will solve all the problems."
"good."
Duke Vendôme said without hesitation: "I have been following you for the past twenty-four hours. No matter what you want to do, the Vendôme family will fully support you.
"However, if you can't solve this matter in twenty-four hours... you can go back to Avalon first. Iris's problem will not be solved for a while, and it will be the same if you come back in a few months to solve it. As for the rebellion,
There is no need for you juniors to worry about our problems."
——If it really takes a few months, it will be too late.
