Chapter 479 The instant box opening machine continues to operate
When Sherlock woke up and called Aiwass "Moriarty", Aiwass's heart suddenly jumped.
——There seems to be something wrong.
Aiwass knows Sherlock very well. This great detective usually has no sense of boundaries when doing things. He likes to do something by himself when he is interested. He will only explain to others what he is doing after everything is done.
When talking to friends, you usually call them by their first names or even call them by their nicknames...On the contrary, you only maintain a distant politeness and reserve when talking to strangers or people of high enough status.
...Of course, when Sherlock was being pretentious and eccentric, he would occasionally call him "Mr. Moriarty" slowly.
According to the imported CG, the relationship between Aiwass and Sherlock in this world line is even closer than that of Isabel. That’s why Aiwass will directly call him Sherlock. This is to prevent himself from being overly sensitive to Sherlock.
Discovered that "I am not that Aiwass".
Before meeting, Aiwass was actually very afraid of Sherlock.
Such friends who are too smart, too keen, and too suspicious are too familiar with themselves, so that their secrets will be exposed in front of them accidentally. Especially since the world itself has the ability to pretend to be others or change other people's perceptions.
Being suspicious is not entirely wrong, it can only be regarded as being cautious enough.
He even thought about how he might as well knock Sherlock out. When he woke up, he would knock him out again, repeating the cycle... and then send him directly to the Theocracy to complete the task.
As long as you don't contact or communicate with Sherlock throughout the whole process, you will never be exposed in front of him.
...But soon, Aiwass realized that the things he was afraid of were also true for "Sherlock".
But just saying "Moriarty" doesn't mean there's something wrong with him.
So Aiwass conducted further testing.
Shylock should know that Minister Drost may want to attack Princess Isabel. During the process of being tortured, Shylock has obviously clarified the matter and may even know the truth. With Drost's flamboyant character, he
Most likely, he would say this in a flamboyant way, or even say something like "Isabel is dead" to put pressure on Sherlock.
So Aiwass deliberately changed the topic and mentioned "Shafiya". He asked Shafiya to speak out to show that he was nearby.
Shylock must know who Shafiya is.
Therefore, when Aiwass mentioned Shafiya, and Shafiya's tone and demeanor were very relaxed, he should have been able to immediately guess the situation that "the princess may not have been killed." And based on Shylock's attitude towards Queen Sophia
Loyal, he would 100% hold himself up and ask Shafiya what's going on.
Even the Palace of Silver and Tin exploded - how could he be so calm and not even in a hurry?
Of course, the extremely small possibility cannot be ruled out...that is, Sherlock has guessed in advance that Isabel is still alive, so he is not in a hurry at all.
So Aiwass conducted the third test.
He told Shylock to "stop thinking". But as a third-level lawyer and a third-level mage, Shylock should have "spiritual body disorder". His overly strong thinking ability makes him unable to think at all.
Unable to stop thinking. Even if he has barely adapted to the disorder, thinking is definitely more relaxing for him than not thinking.
Therefore, the moment Sherlock really stopped thinking - Aiwass was sure that this was definitely not Sherlock.
——He can only be a "consultant".
A person promoted on the path of wisdom from Star Antimony, a mage of the third level.
But Aiwass didn't say anything.
Although killing the opponent directly in secret is the most conservative option, the efficiency is too low. It is completely unable to give full play to the intelligence advantage.
Now that the identity of the other party has been locked and he has not been exposed at all...then, even if he does not intend to use the other party to complete his mission, he can still pass on some false information through him, or dig some holes for the Star Antimony people.
The smarter a person is, the more they will believe in the information they collect personally, and the more they will trust the conclusions they draw through personal reasoning. Very few people can overthrow all their opinions and start over from scratch when their logic has not reached a dead end -
—Especially the disinformation side has a complete logical chain and sufficient evidence, but the truth side is missing a large piece of logic.
However, if you want to plant some false information, Aiwass alone is not enough. You also need the cooperation and support of Isabel.
So Aiwass thought in his mind and took Sherlock back to Moriarty Manor.
Isabel was hiding behind the curtains at the moment, looking in the direction of the Palace of Silver and Tin.
"Aiwass!"
When Aiwass and the others came back, Isabel immediately greeted them happily: "Are you okay?"
She was talking with Professor Moriarty in the living room when she suddenly felt a slight earthquake.
Isabel hid behind the curtains and peeked secretly, and found that there was an explosion in the Palace of Silver and Tin - not only did a violent explosion occur, but the entire palace was gradually engulfed in flames.
Although Aiwass brought Oswald and Shafiya over there... there are two orthodox fifth-level extraordinary beings there after all, and Aiwass is still unable to summon the Night Demon.
She was worried that something might happen to Aiwass, but she knew that she couldn't do anything in a battle of this scale... so she could only stay calm and try her best not to cause trouble to Aiwass.
But it was obvious that the conversation could no longer continue. She really didn't have the energy, and was distracted by learning some mysterious knowledge from Professor Moriarty while she was worried about Aiwass.
Fortunately, the death knell never sounded, so Isabel could barely stay sane.
"I'm OK."
Aiwass blinked at her: "But there may be something wrong with Detective Hermes - he was seriously injured. I need to find a quiet place to concentrate on treating him."
……Huh?
Hearing this, Isabel was slightly startled.
Aiwass's treatment...does it still need to be in a quiet place?
From the first time he met Aiwass during the promotion ceremony, Aiwass showed the unique skills of a healer - not only is his healing ability extraordinarily stable, but he can also use any hand.
Later, when the Supervision Bureau was attacked, Aiwass saved the entire Supervision Bureau by himself. Isabel only found out later that it was Aiwass's special ability called "Flame Butterfly", which can instantly rape a group of people.
Effective treatment.
So Isabel immediately understood Aiwass's hint - he most likely had something to say to her and needed to avoid everyone.
But Isabel glanced at Sherlock cautiously and said softly: "Can I go with you? I'm also worried about Mr. Hermes."
She usually calls Sherlock directly, but now she follows Aiwass and replaces "Sherlock" with "Hermes".
Aiwass nodded and reminded: "Yes, but keep quiet. Be careful not to wake up Sherlock."
The tacit understanding between Isabel and Aiwass made her immediately realize what Aiwass meant.
——I have something to whisper, but I want to avoid Sherlock.
Sherlock has a problem!
He's the old man called "The Counselor"!
Isabel's intuition told her that her guess was probably correct.
Then she suddenly felt a chill and her scalp was numb - that good friend she had known for a long time was now the soul of another person inside the body. And he was pretending to be the other person, acting out the other person's words and deeds,
Trying to deceive yourself.
Just thinking about it made Isabel feel a little scared.
"...Come on, Your Highness Isabel. You are here to help me."
Aiwass smiled and said to her.
Isabel understood Aiwass's subtext - let me fool him.
So that’s it, you found out the other party’s identity but didn’t kill him... Is that for this?
——If I were just acting, I would be very confident!
Isabel was reassured.
She nodded politely to Shafiya and Professor Moriarty, and then followed Aiwass to his bedroom.
The mysterious knowledge Professor Moriarty told her can be told to Aiwass at any time...it won't be too late to mention it after the promotion ceremony is over.
Let’s get down to business now, Isabel thought to herself.
But then another thought came to Isabel's mind——
Since as a consultant to the Star Antimony people, he will come as the wizard Sherlock...
Yulia's mentor, Master Nobel, is an alchemist; the two court ritualists also happen to be magicians who transcend the path.
Will they become "strangers" and "olives"?
Thinking of this, Isabel, who had not even seen these people, became a little more wary.
