When the serious elf with a Chinese character face heard Aiwass's voice, he thought for a moment that he was hallucinating.
After he turned around, he reluctantly confirmed that it was Aiwass walking towards him.
"My Lord Bishop, what are you—"
Diomedes felt a little angry for a moment.
——I have obviously told you, "Don't go out, don't go out, don't go out"! Why do you still go out openly and directly come to find yourself!
This is already a hint to Moriarty and his son, telling them that "Charles Drost plans to silence Aiwass" and warning Aiwass not to give him an excuse during this period... No, that is no longer a hint.
That is already clear!
They obviously agreed very well!
If something has to come to you, why not let that old Oswald come to you?
He was not familiar with Aiwass and would pass the message to them, partly because he couldn't stand Minister Drost, and partly because of his long-standing friendship with Oswald.
The two of them were papal guards who graduated from the same class, and were best friends who had known each other since childhood. They had also been stationed together in a foreign country for four hundred years.
Among this group of papal guards serving as guardian elves, they were the only two who knew each other before they were transferred.
If one of them was a female elf, I would probably have grandchildren by now.
Diomedes can basically confirm that as long as Aiwass stays at home, even if the Star Antimony completely controls Avalon, Drost will probably not dare to take action against him.
Charles was Diomedes's caregiver since childhood, and he was familiar with his character.
Now he is a coward. He has endured the inertia and will not take action as long as he is not sure.
——Completely the opposite of Charles back then.
Diomedes thought.
When Diomedes went to Avalon on the orders of the Pope to protect the bloodline of Dagonite, he was still a thin and timid boy. When Charles was born, he was not as old as he is now.
When Charles was a teenager, he was at his most likable.
At that time, he was optimistic, cheerful, and sociable. His facial features were deep and upright, his speech was clear and powerful, and he always had a smile on his face. Even if he suffered setbacks, he would never be decadent.
At most, he will only be depressed for a while, and then he will smile and cheer himself up again.
During that time, Diomedes was always a little melancholy.
Because at that time, his partner in Avalon passed away.
When the other person was still a student, he had already met Diomedes, who was still a handsome uncle. When the other person aged and died, Diomedes only looked a little older.
His will has been depressed for a long time because of this, and every day when he has nothing to do, he will silently look through the photos from the past.
Those years were the years when he aged the fastest.
It was only by looking at the young Charles who always cheered him up after failure that Diomedes gradually recovered.
So Diomedes once had a good impression of Charles.
As a boy, Charles could be said to be a heartthrob.
He tied his long flaxen curly hair into a ponytail. He could play cricket and football, and also practiced riding skills and planned to enter polo. His academic performance was also good, and he became the second-ranked player in his sophomore year.
A high-level lawyer. Coupled with the background of the founding family and his cheerful and passionate personality, he had many girlfriends in college, and at the fastest time, he could have three girlfriends a week.
Although he is a lawyer, Charles is always keen on exercise. He gets up at five o'clock every day to do morning exercises. Although he is considered a playboy, he does not drink or stay up late. His hobbies are sports, food and women, which can bring him
Come for something pleasant.
When he inherited the position of head of the family, he was only thirty-eight years old. At that time, he had reached the fourth level and had become the Minister of Trade. He was known as one of the extraordinary people most promising to reach the fifth level. He
He has been married for many years, and his wife gave birth to three children. The eldest one is almost an adult.
But from then on...for some reason, he suddenly started drinking. Then he became alcoholic.
Long before he became a minister, when he was a special legal adviser to the Ministry of Trade, his habit of morning exercise had disappeared. As for the ball games he once loved, he had never played those things again since he graduated.
The energetic and passionate young man in Diomedes' eyes slowly disappeared without knowing when.
He even began to send Diomedes to do some dirty work-assassinations, thefts, surveillance. Diomedes didn't know if other guardian elves had done similar things, but it was his duty to obey the orders of the family master and
You have to protect him. I just want to give you a few words of advice when I have nothing to do...
At the beginning, Charles would listen to Diomedes' suggestions politely and respectfully; then he gradually realized his power and stopped accepting all suggestions, but still maintained his dignity. Later, he began to communicate with himself
Arguing, but still paying attention to Diomedes' words and reluctantly correcting his behavior.
——Until the day Diomedes ran into Charles insulting his daughter, Thalia Drost.
He was completely disappointed in Charles.
From then on, Diomedes stopped discussing these things with Charles.
And Charles also noticed this - so he no longer called "Mr. Diomedes" but called him by his first name; he no longer asked for his advice, but directly ordered him to do something.
The once innocent and passionate young man gradually became smooth and sinister. The professional level of his authoritarian path has no longer moved, and his once strong and energetic body is now full of fat. The man who studied law when he graduated
Charles, who was full of faith in justice, was ravaged by time and eventually committed many crimes such as paying murderers, accepting bribes, smuggling, and rape...
——Now that things have happened, Charles has even become a traitor and regicide.
You know, it was Queen Sophia who sent him to the position of Minister of Trade back then!
The man known as "Minister Drost" is completely different from the past.
Everything about him has changed. The only two things that remain unchanged are the cheerful smile that always hangs on his face and the burning desire in his heart.
——Therefore, Diomedes will deliberately do something that is not what Drost ordered.
For example, the illegitimate daughter that Droste might want to murder was handed over to Oswald for protection in advance; for example, when Droste forgot to ask him to destroy evidence, he never took the initiative to remind him.
These are all the foreshadowings he left behind carefully, one after another.
Maybe they will never be used, maybe Drost himself will suddenly remember... But there is a slight possibility that they can destroy Charles Drost, liberate Diomedes, and give him freedom and a new one.
's owner.
Diomedes did it very secretly, so he was never discovered. Drost will still leave the most important things to him, because he has become very suspicious now. Only the guardian elf can never betray him, and he must try his best to
Protect his life safety and complete the order 100%.
Just like now - when Charles wanted to silence Aiwass Moriarty, he issued an early warning to their whole family.
According to Diomedes, it is impossible for Xing Antimony to give Charles much benefit.
Because Star Antimony was severely divided internally and controlled power at the same time. And the benefits they gave to Charles - the land and titles, were actually equivalent to asking the three parties to jointly pay the price.
One party proposes a plan and asks the other two parties to pay together to accumulate merit for the party who proposed the plan. This is impossible. It is impossible without them dragging their feet. In the end, even if they do not regret it, most of the benefits will be reduced...or directly eliminated.
He assassinated people to default on their debts.
This also means that Charles will not get a high status in Avalon's new government.
On the other hand, as the head of the founding family and the top executive of Lloyd's, he has an extremely good reputation in the public eye. He is one of the richest businessmen in Avalon and is also a world-class scholar with expertise in mathematics, astronomy, etc.
James Moriarty, who has written monographs in various fields, will become the target of the Star Antimony people to win over.
There is no comparison between Charles, a loser, and James.
As long as the Star Antimony takes over the authority of Avalon through the fake queen, Professor Moriarty will be reused immediately.
By then, Aiwass will be absolutely safe.
Therefore, if Charles wants to kill Aiwass, he must kill Aiwass directly before the Star Antimony people control Avalon. In the darkness when the order of Avalon completely collapses -
As an inspector, Edward has no priority to inherit. Julia has passed away, and Aiwass is the future successor of Professor Moriarty. Charles absolutely does not have the ability to directly let Aiwas, the only successor of the Moriarty family,
Wentz died unknowingly. So as long as he kills Aiwass, Professor Moriarty will definitely notice it.
That means offending the other party.
Now letting Diomedes try to abduct Aiwass was his last courage. As long as Diomedes brings back old James with a firm enough attitude, Charles will give up.
As a bishop with a bright future, Aiwass will definitely not forget this grudge and will keep it in his heart... He will become a thorn in Charles's eyes and make his master sleepless.
When Aiwass gains further power in the future, he will be able to reveal the sins of the Star Antimony people and the crimes of Charles.
In the process of reluctantly getting along with Charles, Diomedes also learned Charles's smooth acting skills and the skill of hiding his true thoughts. Although there was a look of regret on his face, Diomedes was actually
Quite satisfied with this result.
...But at this time, Aiwass came up on his own.
This directly disrupted Diomedes' plan.
But now he looked at Aiwass and was about to get angry, but suddenly he was startled.
He vaguely captured some kind of information from Aiwass's eyes and expression.
"Please take me there, Mr. Diomedes."
Aiwass put his right hand on his chest and saluted, and said politely and respectfully: "Let me talk to him. Please don't worry, I won't risk my life.
"I am confident enough...he will not come to kill me after listening to my words. In other words, he will not be able to kill me."
——He can't kill me.
Although he is a fragile pastor, Aiwass's words reveal such confidence.
"What are you..."
After hearing Aiwass' words, Diomedes gradually understood something: "Want to save someone?"
Aiwass has obviously guessed that Minister Drost has murderous intentions towards him - this means that Aiwass has realized that the letter he sent to Princess Isabel has been intercepted by that guy. Because only from this
Through this channel, Minister Drost would have murderous intention towards Aiwass, whom he had never been in contact with before and was not familiar with at all.
And based on this...
as expected.
What Aivas said next was completely consistent with what Diomedes had in mind: "Yes, I not only want to survive, but I also want to save Shylock as well.
"I guess the missing Sherlock should also be there. Minister Drost wanted me to go there so much, probably because he wanted me to be a breakthrough point to pry open Sherlock's mouth.
"——In this case, if he wants to know anything, let me tell you. If you need a hostage, let me be it. I will replace Sherlock... He has long been disconnected from the Hermes family.
, let Minister Drost let him go to the Theocracy. As long as he never comes back, there is no need to kill him all, right?
"Killing two people to offend two families can only be considered a bad idea. Now I choose to take a step back, and I will give him a soft hand - I use Professor Moriarty's support, and the future 'Moriarty'
Friendship, the information he wanted to obtain, the evidence he wanted to destroy... I traded these things for both of our lives - especially for Sherlock's life.
"Since Minister Drost usually regards himself as a businessman, let's ask him to see if this business is a good deal."
Aiwass said clearly.
Just like Professor Moriarty's words to persuade the Grand Inquisitor Shafiya. It created an atmosphere of "no loss at all", a friendly atmosphere that made him relax, and then made him have "
If you agree with him, what will happen?” Let’s think along the lines of Aiwass’s words.
Minister Droste did not want to offend Professor Moriarty, but he also wanted to deal with the matter. Aiwass came to reconcile in person, which was the most acceptable plan to Minister Droste;
Diomedes did not want the two just and innocent young men Aiwass and Shylock to be killed, and hoped that they could serve as witnesses to remember Minister Drost's crimes.
——This is called learning now and selling now.
Although it is a little more immature than Professor Moriarty's words.
But Diomedes has been persuaded by Aiwass.
Because Diomedes can accept this result, he also thinks that Minister Drost can also accept this result...then this plan must be feasible.
So Diomedes stopped trying to dissuade him and took Aivas to the Palace of Silver and Tin.
It's not like kidnapping, but like traveling together.
