After Oswald checked Yulia's condition and confirmed that she had indeed recovered and that the demon in her body had disappeared, he half-knelt in front of Yulia and exclaimed in a low voice: "This is simply a miracle.
.”
"I think everyone should have some little secrets that belong to him, right?"
Aiwass sat in a wheelchair and chuckled behind Oswald.
Oswald has lived in the human world for at least five hundred years, so it would be difficult for Aiwass to deceive him.
It would be better to simply say "I don't want to tell you". Anyway, the final message is the same, which is more friendly.
Surprisingly, Oswald was very satisfied with Aiwass's answer.
The old elf stood up and put his hands behind his back. A stiff but sincere smile appeared on his face as old as an ancient tree.
It looks like a wolf with its mouth cut open.
"Of course, Master Aiwass. Everyone can have their own secrets."
Oswald nodded slightly and sighed: "It's good that you have grown up. If the master is still here, he should be very happy."
"What on earth did father do?"
Aiwass asked seriously: "I haven't seen him for so long. I also heard some..."
"Not so good, right?"
The old elf answered.
Aiwass nodded: "I heard that my father may have been in danger. But he did not leave any contact information when he left, and I can't confirm whether this is true..."
Yulia on the side held her puppet "Mr. Dade", tilted her head and made a confused voice: "Danger?"
Oswald sighed softly.
He avoided answering the question and instead said to Aiwass: "You can take Miss Yulia to school now.
"I think this is what you have been waiting for a long time."
"That's true..."
Yulia replied softly.
But she asked with some concern: "What happened?"
The girl is very perceptive and smart. Even if she lacks corresponding life experience, she can realize what the old housekeeper Oswald is worried about at this moment just by being familiar with her family.
"Because I have to go on a long trip, Miss. Avalon may be chaotic during this period, so it should be safer for you to stay in the dormitory."
Oswald explained patiently.
"Are you going on a long trip too?"
Aiwass raised his eyebrows, and then quickly realized what he was going to do: "Are you going to find your father?"
"That's right."
Oswald answered honestly: "In fact, I received news of the master's death from official channels. But I don't believe it - I firmly believe that he is not dead."
"Do you have any way to contact me?" Aiwass asked.
"Absolutely," Oswald nodded, "As the guardian of the Moriarty family, I can sense the general position of each 'Moriarty' at any time. If the distance is close enough, I can confirm
The other party’s status.”
In this way, he just used this ability when analyzing Yulia's body.
Aiwass suddenly realized.
Oswald obviously doesn't have much medical skills, nor does he have the healing ability to devote himself to the road. Otherwise, it wouldn't be Aiwass's turn to treat Yulia.
But the old housekeeper just touched Yulia's forehead a little and felt that the phantom demon in her body had indeed been eradicated.
This should be the reason why Oswald was able to find Aiwass in time when he was taken to an alley to be sacrificed.
"I sensed that the master's position has been moving. Although it was very slow, he basically didn't stop for too long."
Oswald said solemnly: "Although it is possible that the body is being transported... but there is even a way to turn back. So I am thinking, could it be the master who has been imprisoned and is being transported? Or maybe it is?
, Professor, did he choose to fake his death to investigate some things secretly in order to expose certain people?
"But no matter what, I think the master is in danger at the moment. He will most likely need my help now."
Having said this, Oswald looked at Yulia: "But at the same time, I must also protect you, this is also my responsibility.
"Master Edward no longer needs anyone to take care of him. King's Law University is the territory of the great arbiter, and it is home to two-thirds of the descendants of knight families. There are many arbiters patrolling at night. So, Master Aiwass, you
No need to worry.
"But only Miss Yulia... As a phantom egg, she had to hide her identity. Therefore, she couldn't go to school with you. She could only use her health as an excuse to stay behind closed doors every day."
Having said this, Oswald looked at Yulia.
She sat aside with her doll in her arms, her eyes wide open. Her eyes seemed to be shining with light, which was her excitement and expectation.
As she wished.
Oswald declared: "If I stay at home, I can indeed protect Miss Yulia, because Miss Yulia has nowhere to go. The only one who can protect her is me.
"But since Miss Yulia is no longer a Phantom Egg and can go to other places, I must now complete another one of my responsibilities - I'm very sorry, Miss."
"It's okay, Mr. Oswald."
Yulia said seriously: "I also want to go to school with my brother!"
Aiwass thought of another thing and asked from the side: "Who knows that Yulia is the egg of the phantom demon?"
"Even though I have been purchasing Hypnos decoction, no one has clear evidence to show that Miss Yulia is the egg of a phantom demon. So you can claim that she only had to use Hypnos because of a strange disease.
He was given stupor, but now he has recovered under the treatment of Bishop Mathers."
Oswald patiently taught Aiwass how to speak, although he did not need to teach Aiwass how to speak: "If someone asks Miss Yulia why she never comes to school, you can say that she is withdrawn and unwilling to see people.
Man. In this way, your secret will not be exposed."
"I'll pretend to be withdrawn!"
Yulia raised a hand and said seriously: "I will never expose my brother's secret!"
Aiwass touched his chin.
In other words, almost everyone in the kingdom's upper-class social circles knew that Yulia was most likely the egg of a phantom demon. However, they chose to remain silent on the matter because of their relationship with Professor Moriarty.
...Strange, did I overlook something?
Aiwass always felt that there was something a bit out of place here.
If the adoptive father adopted him and Yulia because he had no biological children, he needed an adopted son to inherit the family business...
So Yulia, as a phantom egg, theoretically cannot live long. Why did Professor Moriarty adopt her?
However, Oswald's temporary absence from this matter can be said to be both good and bad.
The advantage is that it will be easier to lure out those at Lloyd's. Aiwass' plan to fake his own death will become more powerful.
But in this case, Aiwass needs to find a stronger protector for Yulia. It is difficult for Edward alone to protect Yulia, and it is even difficult to take care of her daily life.
Unlike Aiwass, Lily can accompany Aiwass to school because of Aiwass's special physical condition. This is specially approved by Her Royal Highness the Princess.
However, Julia obviously cannot bring her maid with her. Her maid must stay at Moriarty Manor.
When Aiwass and Lily are both there, Lily can help take care of Yulia. But when Aiwass fakes his death, Lily has to accompany Aiwass to fake his death - which means that Yulia will change.
become a person.
Even if the security level in the school is good enough, Aiwass still can't worry about her.
At this moment, the shadow of another person appeared in Aiwass' mind.
Princess Isabelle.
She should be able to help with this.
"Then when do you plan to leave?"
Aiwass asked Oswald.
The old butler replied: "If possible, the sooner the better."
"Then Yulia, just come with us. In that case, we have to prepare to go back to school now."
Aiwass nodded, turned around and explained to Yulia: "There is no railway between the Red and White Queens, so Lily pushed me directly there before... Fortunately, the distance is not very far, it's about two miles walking.
It will take about an hour. Find a place to stay and rest in the middle. It will take about three hours to arrive..."
"As for that," Oswald added, "it's not so troublesome.
"Your current wheelchair was somewhat deformed due to an attack. Although it was repaired later, it still looked a bit unseemly. So I used your body shape information and found an elf craftsman I knew to customize a new wheelchair. It is very comfortable.
The functionality has been improved, and a miniature pistol is hidden inside for personal protection, and a Candlestick Holy Emblem is built-in to facilitate the use of divine spells.
"I have put it in the Supervisory Court now. You can go directly to the Supervisory Court by car and let Lily pick up the wheelchair and take you back to school. When you go home after that, you can just take the car back. There is a spare one at home.
wheelchair."
"...I'm really sorry to trouble you."
Aiwass apologized a little: "But actually my body is recovering well, and I may be back to health in another half month to a month."
The final exam will be in half a month, and it is also the second promotion ceremony for Aiwass on the path of dedication.
Before that, Aiwass had to solve Lloyd's problem so that Sherlock could get out of suspended animation.
After being promoted, they will go to Haina's hometown together. It will definitely be inconvenient to use a wheelchair on rural dirt roads and deep mountains and old forests... So Aiwass can no longer pretend.
It just so happens that Lily will follow Aiwass at that time, and the shadow demon can be stored in her shadow. Before the end of the winter vacation, Aiwass's path of transcendence can be advanced again - by then Aiwass will truly get rid of his wheelchair.
Already.
In other words... with all calculations, the wheelchair customized by Oswald can be used for less than a month. This is why Aiwass did not ask for a replacement wheelchair before.
Although his family is not short of money now, he still subconsciously thinks about saving as much as possible.
"Just because your legs and feet are healed, it doesn't mean you can't sit anymore. Those elderly people in wheelchairs may not be able to walk."
Oswald said with a smile: "Sitting in a wheelchair makes it easy for people to ignore your threat; even if a priest with bad legs and feet is rumored to be very romantic, people will still think that he is an ascetic. Humans are against the strong
There is always hostility. But if a strong person has something weaker than them, it will easily turn into admiration."
Hearing this, Aiwass subconsciously felt guilty.
...He always felt that the old housekeeper had something on his mind.
And he may be referring to more than just one thing.
