The "refreshing medicinal wine" prepared by Mrs. Mina is obviously very useful, or rather it is too useful.
After drinking hot brandy, Sherlock became visibly excited, truly showing off the "excessive energy" he always talked about but could never see clearly.
On weekdays, the consultant of the Supervision Bureau always uses his strong rationality to restrain his behavior. However, the occasional symptoms of hypoglycemia make him look quite lazy and always listless.
This is a very contradictory trait. The behavior that allowed Sherlock to vent his excess energy became very awkward. It was like some kind of sudden neurosis.
Sherlock is considered a celebrity on Glass Island, and many people are aware of his habits. He likes high-intensity work, such as brain-burning cases that put the brain at full load, and complex or dangerous investigations.
But he only doesn't like to exercise, because Sherlock feels that it is a meaningless waste of energy.
Because exercise requires sugar to maintain, and his hypoglycemia will make his body weak and the vitality of his brain also reduced.
But even so, his spirit still maintained a high intensity of excitement, which would give Sherlock a headache - a headache in a physical sense.
But now after drinking... As Sherlock himself said, his intelligence was indeed disturbed by alcohol, and the strong excitement, pride and curiosity overflowed. Sherlock's whole person became visibly rude.
Got tuberculosis.
After pulling Aiwass to talk about his grandfather, he began to talk endlessly about his previous exciting cases.
Those were cases that he solved privately and never told anyone about. Now they are just the right things to talk about on the tea table.
Sherlock usually didn't bother to tell people the details of these cases and explain what work he had done. But now his words proved that Sherlock had never forgotten these things, he just didn't bother to tell others.
After less than twenty minutes, Sherlock gradually recovered. Aiwass could clearly feel that the frequency of his speech gradually began to slow down, and the time of silence and thinking gradually increased, which meant that he was fast.
woke up.
Sherlock finally realized that he might have had too much to drink. He immediately straightened his clothes and politely excused himself from the crowd, returning to the second floor to wash his face and sober up.
"Although Mr. Sherlock gets drunk quickly, he wakes up pretty quickly."
Bishop Mathers laughed happily.
In his impression, Shylock has always been a gloomy and depressed person. "Like a clear river flowing in the dark", this is Bishop Mathers' impression of him.
"Now it seems that our always serious young gentleman is indeed still a young man. It's just that he usually suppresses his nature too much."
Lady Mina sighed softly: "If he had not been born in Avalon, but was born in a country where the path of wisdom is legal...born in a place where he could show his powerful and pure curiosity, maybe he would
Have a happier life."
"Don't say that kind of thing, Mina."
Mathers waved his hand, indicating that the topic would be passed.
He looked at Aiwass and asked: "How is it, Aiwass?"
"what do you mean?"
Aiwass raised his eyebrows: "How drunk is Mr. Sherlock?"
"That kind of thing is of no value for discussion," Bishop Mathers couldn't help laughing. "I mean Eagle Point Village in Muwan County...are you going?"
"I really want to go."
Aiwass nodded: "But I probably won't take Yulia with me."
By that time, Aiwass should have extracted the phantom demon from Yulia's body and sealed it.
Even if Aiwass left some power to Yulia, she is just an ordinary girl with some fire talent, and does not have the level of a transcendent - if she really encounters danger, Yulia will not be able to explode the phantom power to protect herself.
of.
If they take her with them, Aiwass and the others' movements will be restricted. With their configuration, it would be a waste not to conduct some dangerous investigations.
At that time, Sherlock will become the third level of the dual profession of mage and lawyer. The abundant mana pool brought by the dual spellcasting profession will greatly improve his flexibility and strength. Its strength is much greater than that of the ordinary third level.
A high-level mage or legal mage.
There is also Haina who should be around level 26 to 27, not far from the fourth level. This is a very standard set of tactics, animal husbandry and golden triangle, and everyone is a master.
Finally, coupled with the real-eyed Lily, who although has no combat experience, has a wide range of perception and can work as a scout and a thief at the same time, a perfect four-person light team is established.
"You are right, Aiwass. He is a responsible brother who does not take underage girls on adventures."
Bishop Mathers agreed: "But if you want to go, I suggest you go after the middle of the month."
"Of course," Aiwass smiled, "I will definitely wait until I advance before I go."
"It seems that you are full of confidence in the advancement ceremony."
Mathers heard the subtext of Aiwass.
He just corrected: "To be precise, wait a few days after the advancement ceremony. By then, the holy sword skills stored in the chapel key should have been restored."
Aiwass was a little surprised: "Mr. Bishop, didn't you say you would pay it back before January 1st?"
He came here with the key this time because he wanted to return it to Bishop Mathers. Because it will be around December 20th when it will be cooled down again... which means that the holy sword skills stored in it will most likely be gone.
No chance to use it again.
"Yes, January 1st is the candle ceremony. At that time, the royal family will pay homage to their ancestors, and I have to use this key to open the tomb guarding enchantment in the chapel."
Bishop Mathers nodded with a serious expression: "But I listen to Sherlock, there should be some shadows in Eagle Point Village. So I will lend it to you for a while... wait until you come back at the end of the year to take it
Just give it back to me."
"Then what if I unfortunately die in the village?"
Aiwass asked: "What should the candle priest do?"
"So, if you haven't come back by the 25th and 6th...I'm going to look for you."
Bishop Mathers said solemnly: "In order to recover the key to St. Guinevere's Chapel before the Candlemas, it is reasonable for me to temporarily leave the Glass Island.
"Despite this, it will still be a bit troublesome to complete the formalities later. If possible, you'd better come back early."
... Did you give the key to Aiwass so that he could have a reason to come to the rescue?
Avas was speechless for a moment.
If it was still an illusion before, or if Bishop Mathers has a kind nature... then it can be seen now that he is indeed very interested in Aiwass.
From the previous words, Aiwass easily captured where Mr. Bishop's impulse came from - it was guilt and apology, as well as the urgent hope to make up for his mistakes.
Although Aiwass's father was just one of the many students taught by Bishop Mathers. Before Julio's death, their fate had ended when Julio graduated.
But just because Mathers happened to be away that day, he always felt stuck in his heart and just couldn't get over it. Mathers always believed that he had something to do with the death of Alexander and his wife.
But at that time, he was really afraid of the stranger who manipulated the demon to hunt down the Alexander family, so he didn't dare to take over Aiwass. He also didn't dare to hand Aiwass over to his parents or other acquaintances.
It is natural for people to feel fear when facing unknown enemies lurking in the shadows. Not all saints on the path of devotion are self-sacrifice, let alone Mathers, who was already dissatisfied with the path of devotion.
Although the bishop sent Aiwass to an orphanage invested by Professor Moriarty, whom he trusted. But after Aiwass entered the orphanage and before he was adopted by Professor Moriarty, Mathers did not even come to visit.
Pass Aivas.
He obviously hopes that he can forget this incident that only lasted for half a day in his life and draw a clear line between himself and the unknown powerful enemy; he is also worried that he will be entangled by Aiwass, who does not know his personality, and disrupt his relationship with Mi.
Na leads a peaceful and happy life.
But his overly perfect moral sense prevented Bishop Mathers from forgetting the existence of Aiwass.
He could not convince himself to truly forget this incident, and the guilt that was originally very light tortured him day and night, becoming more and more intense. Therefore, when talking to Professor Moriarty, Bishop Mathers blurted out the story
This happened a few years ago.
It wasn't until Aiwass was adopted by Professor Moriarty that he finally felt relieved and forgot about it for a while.
Aiwass had always thought that he was just a gift from Yulia and was adopted as a tool to appease Yulia. But now it seems that what Professor Moriarty asked the dean's mother-in-law at that time was
His name. When his adoptive father discovered that he was "Aiwass Alexander", he chose to take him away with him.
Bishop Mathers may have contributed to this incident.
Therefore, when he later received the commission from Professor Moriarty to teach Julio's children sacred skills, Bishop Mathers opened a chapel for Aiwass alone for a day.
That's not what he said, in order to repay Professor Moriarty -
In a sense, this is actually to atone for sins. Atonement for sins that only Mathers himself knows and only he cares about.
That's why the bishop repeatedly comforted Aiwass, who was in a wheelchair, for fear of hurting him. He also chose to lend Aiwass the key to the chapel he was guarding when he was unable to protect himself.
That is his duty. It is the key to the Holy Tomb that he guards as the Guardian of the Holy Tomb...it is a very precious thing.
——Because fourteen years ago, Bishop Mathers had already regretted it once.
It was not that I regretted that I had sealed the curse, which resulted in the death of Aiwass' biological parents. It was that I regretted that I did not choose to adopt Aiwass in the end because of fear and fear of trouble.
He wanted to live only for himself. But Mathers was a good man after all, and he couldn't let go. So he regrets it now.
In order to prevent myself from regretting it again in the future, I tried hard to make amends. But it was obviously overkill.
After understanding all of Mr. Bishop's thoughts, Aiwass just sighed silently.
Aiwass had no intention of admonishing the bishop to change his mind. Nor did he choose to forcibly return the key... That would only make Mathers sad and worried.
He chose to respect the weight of guilt and regret that Mathers felt day and night. He accepted this care openly and protected himself.
——What Aiwass can do is to let this elder who truly cares about him... be able to truly stay away from his originally destined painful and tragic fate.
"Thank you for your concern, Lord Bishop."
Aiwass put down the milk tea cup, lowered his head and thanked her seriously: "I will definitely take care of myself and come back soon. I won't cause you any trouble."
Bishop Mathers just looked at Aiwass happily. Only his eyes were a little moist.
He obviously guessed why Aiwass suddenly said this.
Such a sensible and smart child...
"...Now that things have happened, I really regret it."
