Edward went to the Palace of Silver and Tin, bid farewell to Queen Isabel and Aiwass, and then headed to Lloyd District, preparing to take a boat from Lloyd Port to Iris.
Aiwass, Lily, and Sherlock took their luggage and rode on the griffin, preparing to fly to Midsummer County on the westernmost side of Avalon. From here, they planned to take the regular ferry to the Theocracy.
Of course, it is not impossible to let the griffons fly them directly to their destination. But that would be a bit rude - after all, the griffins are somewhat the top military unit in Avalon, which is equivalent to flying directly to the destination by an armed helicopter.
Edward went to Iris as an envoy, while Aiwass went to the Theocracy to study abroad and express his gratitude. Considering that Avalon is still at war, it is better for them to keep a low profile in their actions towards friendly countries.
And taking the Griffin is definitely not as comfortable as the ferry.
But even so, the news that Minister Moriarty was about to go to the Theocracy soon spread.
It's not that Avalon's reporters have any unique news channels. This is what Aiwass deliberately spread... through Dimit, the editor-in-chief who he single-handedly supported. Now that Aiwass is not here, if Avalon still has something hidden...
Some people with ulterior motives can also be directly deceived by this news.
They don't know how long Aiwass will stay in the Theocracy - this is called time waiting for no one.
Although Aiwass has already used this trick once, it is not afraid of old age. As long as it is used well, humans have no memory.
On the ferry, Aiwass, wearing a priest's robe, looked at the sparkling water in the distance and fell into deep thought.
During the chat last night, Isabel told Aiwass all the secrets she gained from the promotion ceremony.
Professor Moriarty certainly could not obtain information directly from the promotion ceremony...but the mysterious knowledge he told Isabel, Aiwass always felt that it was not entirely out of good intentions. Perhaps after Aiwass knew something, his actions
It will be biased in the direction expected by Professor Moriarty... This is not impossible.
...But from another perspective, this is indeed extremely precious information.
"Cicada Slough", "Endless Knot", "Reincarnation Tiansi"... these are all things that Aiwass doesn't know. And they can corroborate with the few remaining impressions that Aiwass knows.
The incident of [Cicada Sloughing] was the first recorded change of ownership of the Pillar God in history. Only the earliest intelligent races witnessed this event. This can be said to be the biggest secret in the world.
Compared with the two events of [Forbidden Fruit] and [Kingdom], the most special thing about [Cicada Slough] is that it changed several pillar gods at the same time.
As far as what is known so far, Lord of Scale Feather, Amber, Weizhe, Beast Lord, and Supreme Sky all ascended to the position of Pillar God from that incident. And from the secrets that Aiwas vaguely knew, Snake
The father and the hourglass are also closely related to this matter, and they keep it secret...
The only people who can be sure that it has nothing to do with [Cicada Slough] are Si Zhu and Twin Mirrors, two pillar gods that have existed since the most ancient past.
Nowadays, only a very few immortal species, such as giant dragons, remember the secret of [Cicada Slough]. Even the Great Library of the Theocratic State has no detailed explanation of this matter.
Some say it was a war for unity, others say it was a sacrifice for division. But perhaps the original war was just for sacrifice, and the cup was filled with the blood of the enemy.
——Professor Moriarty is actually trying to contact [Cicada Slough], and has already learned the knowledge of the "Endless Knot". Is it possible that what he is pursuing is the "Endless Knot" and other secret treasures?
"What are you thinking about?"
At this moment, Sherlock walked up to Aiwass with a stinky face.
He stretched out his hand and pressed his elbow on Aiwass's shoulder.
Aiwass pulled his elbow down angrily, and Sherlock very carefully put his elbow on the other shoulder.
"I was thinking, you are really petty."
Aiwass complained.
"I guess you're at least not thinking about Her Majesty."
Sherlock raised his eyebrows: "Really, Xiangrui?"
"...You won't call me Hu Mei Luo Lord this time?"
"You said it yourself. The fox is a kind of auspiciousness - aren't you happy to call me "you" like that?"
Aiwass smacked his lips and pinched the back of Sherlock's neck with his backhand.
He said with a smile, then pinched his neck: "Your shoulders are quite tired, let me help you heal them."
Although the first blow was extremely heavy and made him scream in pain, Aiwass was really massaging Sherlock after that, so Sherlock squatted down directly and held on to the railing on the deck.
"I guess," Sherlock said suddenly, "you are worried about the future."
"Part of it."
Aiwass smiled.
There is also a part of the past - the past before the birth of mankind.
Sherlock suddenly asked: "Thinking about the professor?"
Aiwass was a little surprised and looked at Sherlock: "How did you guess it?"
And he quickly responded: "Isabel asked you, right."
According to Isabel's carefulness, she will definitely notice that she is wary of the professor. She cannot tell herself exactly what the professor told her. She will definitely ask someone they both have in common, who is trustworthy and can definitely keep it secret.
secret friend.
Then it can only be Sherlock.
"What I'm telling your Majesty is to speak up. For smart people, difficulties are easier to resolve than misunderstandings."
Sherlock did not raise his head to look at Aiwass. He was still squatting on the ground, holding on to the railing with both hands. Looking at the sea in the distance with an action like "tears behind bars", he said lazily: "Rather than let you guess, she hid it herself."
What, why not tell the truth and then study and analyze it."
"Then what did you analyze?"
"Part of it."
Sherlock showed a reserved smile and gave an answer that surprised Aiwass.
This time Aiwass was really surprised.
Based on Sherlock's character, if he only researched a little bit, he would not tell Aiwass. When he said "a little bit", it meant that he had found out a lot of things.
This is only one day!
Or……
"——Have you been doubting my father before?"
"A long time ago, I told Edward. I was almost killed by him."
Sherlock said quietly: "Of course, those things have been given to Edward for destruction. It is impossible for me to deceive him and deliberately leave a backup that may be used to attack him after being found."
As he spoke, he turned his head proudly and reached out to knock his head: "But do I need those things? No, not at all.
"The documents I read once have been engraved in my mind. The evidence and documents were indeed destroyed, but I remember every sentence and every punctuation.
"After getting the information from His Majesty, I went back to sort it out...and I found something."
Looking at the triumphant Sherlock, Aiwass suddenly understood why he disappeared from the "empty house".
He became interested and really dared to check anything!
Although he wanted to criticize his risky behavior, Aiwass cleverly kept silent - it would be bad if Sherlock was angry and didn't tell him the results of his investigation.
In short, let’s deceive things first and then criticize them.
"So," Aiwass asked with interest, "what did you find out?"
"A very crucial point."
Sherlock did not show off, but replied quickly: "Your sister, Freya Moriarty - she is actually Professor Moriarty's biological daughter... Well, look at you
Do you already know the reaction?"
"Indeed, what then?"
"Aren't you curious who her mother is?" Sherlock asked.
"...I'm actually a little bit curious about what I have to say."
Aiwass nodded and said from the bottom of his heart.
For such a deep-minded and indifferent man, what kind of person can make him fall in love?
At least as far as Aiwass understood Professor Moriarty, there was no personal desire in that man.
"That's a witch from the realm of love. Her name is Anna Kingsford, and she's a starbender. Based on inaccurate information, I think she is a member of Rosicrucian."
Sherlock replied smoothly: "And she also has another identity...that is, the original founder of Avalon's civilian extraordinary organization [Golden Dawn].
"——Yes, it is the Golden Dawn where Jacob, Mathers, and Yeats lived."
