After Aiwass woke up, he immediately tidied up his ceremony venue.
The white crystal pendant that had been smoked before was no longer pure. Aiwass ground it into powder and set it aside for later use.
After being introduced to the aura of the dream world, the spirituality in it was so mixed that the concept of "white crystal" was lost. In all refinements or rituals that require "white crystal" to be used, it will only bring about failure.
But it is not pure garbage. The scientific name of this thing is "Secondary Dream Crystal". In alchemy and ritual, it has a very weak concept of confusing dreams and reality.
If you inject two opposite magic powers into a portion of crystal dust, mix it with the extract of the entire brain of an adult cuttlefish, and then put it into a bottle of white wine and distill it until only half of it is left, then
You will get three portions of the Forget-You-Ware Water. Drinking one portion will make people forget their most sorrowful things like a dream.
——In the main mission of the game, "Aiwass" fell into grief after Julia died, and the whole person became obviously depressed and haggard. At that time, the player was in Aiwass's adoptive father James Moriarty
Under the guidance of the professor, the white crystal pendant given to the player character as a souvenir by Aiwass after he advanced was used as a material to make this potion, which Aiwass took.
After drinking this potion, Aiwass fell into a deep sleep. When he woke up again, he was obviously much better.
It was as if that incident didn't happen a few days ago, but a few years ago.
That was also the first time in the game that James Moriarty participated in the main plot.
...Now that Aiwass is personally preparing this potion, there is always a subtle feeling.
However, now that Aiwass thinks about it... probably from the beginning of this mission, it has been hinted that old James has quite good alchemy knowledge. Because Wangyou Shui is not a common magic potion. At least according to Aiwass's impression
To be honest, it has never appeared in the main quest since then.
After cleaning up all the traces of the ritual left in his bedroom, Aiwass left his room.
He told the housekeeper at home that his room could be cleaned now. The housekeeper, Mrs. Lo Wei, agreed and called Aiwass's personal maid.
Generally speaking, servants do not need to always follow their masters like followers. They are usually separated from their masters when working. After all, Moriarty Manor is in the White Queen, so it cannot be too big. But just
There are more than twenty rooms in the main building...which requires servants to clean them in real time.
Usually, foreign affairs will contact the housekeeper Oswald, and domestic affairs will contact the housekeeper, Mrs. Rowe. They are the easiest to find.
The former is the guardian of the Moriarty family, while the latter is just a hired human housekeeper.
In other knight families, there is no need for special instructions from the master - as long as they leave their place, the housekeeper will immediately order someone to clean the place where they have been.
But Moriarty Manor is an exception.
Because among the four owners here, Aiwass rarely goes out after graduating from middle school. Yulia is not allowed to go out or go near the open window. Edward basically only comes back for one or two days a month...
Only James goes out and comes home from time to time.
Not to mention the arrangements for banquets and travels, there was not even much domestic garbage. In addition to cleaning the room as usual, the servants just chatted in a place where the masters could not see.
Moreover, the servants also know that the Moriarty family is a family of extraordinary people, and they are all studying occult knowledge. Various open books may contain dangerous knowledge that can cause dementia or death for ordinary people at a glance; and
The various things placed on the table on the ground may also be part of rituals or enchantments.
Therefore, they will not go to the bedroom to clean up the trash until the housekeeper says "it's ready to be cleaned." Even if they do clean it, they just restore the original placement of various objects and try not to touch these things.
"Good morning, Master Aiwass."
The maid with long flaxen curly hair who was caring for the oil painting came over and said hello softly.
"Good morning, Lily."
Aiwass also greeted his personal maid in a friendly manner: "I have good news for you... You can also go to school."
Hearing this, Lily suddenly opened her eyes wide.
"...can I go to school too?"
She was the personal maid who took care of Aiwass when he first came to the Moriarty family.
At that time, Aiwass was six years old and Lily was only fourteen. They had already become familiar with each other.
Lily is usually responsible for cleaning Aiwass' bedroom, cleaning and changing his underwear, and accompanying him when he goes out.
Considering the issues of safety, decency and appearance, these valets are usually not from civilian backgrounds in the full sense, but are children of relatives or illegitimate children of other families.
For example, Lily is the child of an old knight and a prostitute.
Her original surname was Drost, but she lost her surname after becoming a maid of the Moriarty family.
The Droste family does not want a prostitute's child to have the opportunity to inherit the inheritance. They also feel that if she goes to school with the Droste name, it will damage the reputation of the Droste family. But if she is left outside and allowed to live on her own,
, is also a shame.
In the end, the old knight asked old James to hire Lily as his personal maid.
This is said to be hiring a maid, but in fact it can also be said to be a kind of surrogate child. Professor Moriarty is also very kind to her - although the maid's job prevents her from continuing to go to school, her studies at the junior high school level are enough for her to master the basics
She has a lot of knowledge. She will be provided with various books at home so that she can learn things of interest to herself after work.
"Of course, even though you are just accompanying me, you also have to listen together."
Aiwass smiled gently and patted the wheelchair under him: "I can't let Mr. Oswald accompany me to school, can I? Then I will be laughed at by my classmates. I need someone to push the wheelchair.
.”
"Then... what about Mr. Wade? He can still protect you."
Wade is the name of James Sr.'s valet.
Aiwass shook his head: "I'm not qualified yet."
According to Avalonian etiquette, only people with high enough status can have valets, just like only knight families can hire valets. Those businessmen, nouveau riche, and senior civil servants who have not yet received armor can only hire valets.
Maid. Not only does a lot of physical work require a male servant to do it, but the valet also has the identity of a guard and bodyguard, and is responsible for protecting the safety of the mansion together with the butler.
The two personal servants of the Moriarty family belong to James Sr. and his eldest brother Edward. Edward's personal servant was placed in another house of his in the Red Queen - for the convenience of traveling to work.
, he bought an apartment near the Inspectorate. Only when he went home would he take his valet home with him.
When he went to see Bishop Mathers before, Butler Oswald personally took him there because Bishop Mathers' status was high enough.
But Butler Oswald cannot take care of him every day.
Until Aiwass can obtain the third level of Shadow Affinity and be able to completely control the Shadow Demon, or until the dark attribute pool reaches 50 points and he can create a blank card to seal the Shadow Demon, he will obviously be inseparable from the wheelchair.
It's fine at home. Or it doesn't matter if there's no one around.
But even if the shadow demon is quiet and not acting like a monster, as long as Aiwass stands on his shadow, he will conceptually complete the "link" with his shadow demon. Then his shadow will directly boil - become thicker
It is like an entity, constantly moving and smoking.
Something was obviously going to happen. Although it was not impossible to push the wheelchair by myself, it would be too tiring.
"...Can I really do this?"
Lily was a little nervous and stretched out her hand to grasp the hem of her clothes: "My father...that man said that he didn't want me to go to school. And...even if I push your wheelchair, you will be criticized by your classmates.
Bar."
She obviously wanted to go, but was afraid of getting into trouble. Rather than trying to convince Aiwass, she was trying to convince herself why she couldn't go.
"How could it be possible," Aiwass said with a smile, "They are envious of me. After all, I can have such a beautiful girl accompanying me to class."
Of course, the real reason is... he knows that Lily really wants to go to school and is full of thirst for knowledge.
Although theoretically he is not qualified to be a valet, his situation is special after all. The school should be able to give special approval.
But Wade is not interested in this, so he might as well give the opportunity to Lily. After all, she is the sister who has been taking care of him since he was a child...
In the original world line, Lily would die in a side mission three or four months later. Her death was insignificant and insignificant.
It's better to let her come to school with him.
These characters who do not appear in the "plot" all have "unknown" possibilities in a sense.
"...What the hell. You are too complimentary."
Hearing this, Lily blushed.
Although she was somewhat confident about her appearance, she actually knew that Aiwass was joking and comforted herself.
The serious-looking housekeeper beside her couldn't help but smile.
She obviously also had a good impression of this polite but introverted young maid. She gently patted Lily on the shoulder and reminded: "Thank you soon, Master Aiwass."
"Thank you, thank you..."
Only then did Lily react and bowed deeply.
Her tears were a little uncontrollable, and her vision was a little blurry.
Because she realized Aiwass wasn't just saying it casually or joking - he was serious.
This made her feel happy.
Even the slightly blurry world in front of me seemed to be shining brightly under the dawn.
