He is not an active papal guard, so he does not need to be on duty; and at this age, he obviously does not need to work.
Fortunately, Freya has lived in the Theocracy for such a long time and has some connections here. She first took Lily to the Sixth Circle and found a retired papal guard from the place guarding the ruins.
.
The reason why Freya looked for him was also very simple. Because she knew Oswald's age, and the old man was similar in age to him; and when they chatted before, the other party said that he almost became Avalon's
The guardian.
That is to say, there is a high probability that he knows Oswald.
Sure enough. She inquired about it from the other party, and it turned out that he knew that Oswald had come back. And he also knew that the surname Freya now uses, "Moru", was given to her by her.
Her last name was Moriarty, whom Oswald was responsible for.
Therefore, he handed over Oswald's information to Freya very simply.
But Oswald's location surprised Lily a little.
She was deeply impressed by the elf butler who was as silent as a lone wolf. He was a serious, cold, and unsmiling old gentleman.
Oswald did not go to the upper floors to live with the pure-blood elves. Instead, he stayed in the second circle, which had a very large flow of people.
Compared with the first circle, which is noisy and more chaotic and lively than downtown areas in other countries, the second circle is at least not that chaotic - the biggest difference is that there are obviously fewer people carrying luggage. But on the street
It was also crowded with people, and there were old people queuing up on the seats in front of many shops.
The Second Circle is a relatively affordable place to live, and many long-term residents of The Theocracy will stay here.
A large number of apartment-style buildings have been built here. Under the intervention of the elves, neither the rent nor the price is too high, so many people live here for several years or more than ten years...
And there are also some church schools here, and some priests will come here to teach short-lived children. Those short-lived children born in the Theocracy often come here to study and work.
The life here is quite stable. There is not much pressure to study and the working hours are not long. Although they are not rich enough to have much savings, they are not unable to afford necessities. At the same time, there are no wars here, and there are no disputes caused by economy and pressure.
.There are even some people who were born in the second circle, died in the second circle, and never went to other areas in their lives.
Lily glanced around and found that the largest number of residents in the second circle were the elderly and children.
Lily also went out when she was in Avalon. Compared with the children of the knight families in the White Queen, the children here are not so well-educated - they wear simple village-like clothes, and they also go out on the street.
They were running around, shouting, arguing, and playing with each other.
But it is said to be simple, but it is actually just that there is not much complicated embroidery on these clothes, and they are basically simply sewn single-color fabrics. The quality of the fabric itself is also quite good. If you use a little elf craftsmanship for finishing, it will also look better in Iris.
It can be sold at a high price as a fashion item.
Lily even saw a group of human children playing with a lizard man child; a human girl held a young snake man in her arms; trolls carrying heavy objects on their shoulders could also be seen in the streets, but people
The attitude towards the trolls is also very friendly...at least it is obviously much friendlier than the first and fifth rings.
The smallest race here is goblins.
——And the most surprising thing is that Lily even saw a dwarf.
The relationship between elves and dwarves is considered to be mortal enemies. Because the dwarves are basically heretics, their racial belief is to "wait for a pillar god who belongs to the dwarves", especially Yantiansi - Yantiansi is rapidly becoming stronger as a dedicated person.
Tiansi directly threatened Sizhu.
Even though the elves have prayed, they have also asked Yantiansi himself about his thoughts on the position of Pillar God. But what they ask through prayer may not necessarily be the truth, and even if it is the truth, it may not be the eternal truth. And even if Yantiansi
I really have no idea, at least the dwarves have ideas.
——You pushed all the cannons to the border, and then you said you just wanted to strengthen national defense; maybe you really strengthen national defense, but even if you just strengthen national defense, it means that you regard us as an imaginary enemy.
This is the attitude of the elves towards the dwarves.
Although it can't compare to the hatred humans have for giants, it can at least be regarded as disgust.
In the second circle, there was even a dwarf couple walking openly on the street. Not only did they not hide their racial characteristics, they even greeted other uncles and aunties on the street. The others also obviously knew each other.
This dwarf couple greeted each other very friendly.
"...the people here live really well."
Lily sighed.
"really."
Freya nodded slightly: "Of all the areas in all the countries I have traveled to, the second ring of the Theocracy is also the most comfortable. If the Herasl Empire still exists, it will probably be at its most prosperous. Ordinary
Only then can people live such a carefree life.
"Sometimes I think, if I get tired in the future and need to find a place to retire... I will come to the Second Circle to find an apartment and teach children alchemy for free. Compared with getting married and having children, this is more suitable.
My concept.”
"...the elf mentorship system?"
Lily murmured.
Freya chuckled suddenly and reached out to touch Lily's hair: "No, we can't talk about it yet. I don't want to find my successor, I just want to play with the children to avoid being too lonely in my later years. And
Rather than giving children candies and cakes, giving them knowledge is better for their health and future."
As she said that, she looked at Lily with interest: "It seems you still remember me, Lily."
"...Of course I still remember it, Miss."
Lily had a complicated expression and murmured in a low voice: "I'm not Moriarty."
"You know that their amnesia is related to Moriarty... It seems that you also know the curse."
Freya smiled happily: "That's good. Although the first time I saw Aiwass, I knew that he must know the curse, so he didn't say anything after seeing me... but
Even if you still remember me, you brought Aiwass to see me."
Lily did not respond, but chose to remain silent.
This is why she had such a strange expression when she saw Freya.
Although she has always regarded herself as "taking care of Aiwass when he was a child", it has to be said... When Aiwass was young, Lily was actually not very old. She had never taken care of anyone before that, and even she herself had
From the beginning, you need someone to take care of you.
At that time, it was Freya who took care of Lily and Aiwass.
Freya is five years older than Lily and twelve years older than Aiwass. She is only four years younger than her eldest brother Edward.
This is the real elder sister like mother.
Aiwass's affection for Lily was actually because he had forgotten Freya. Under the influence of the curse, many memories belonging to Freya were shifted to Lily, who was closest to her.
This is also the reason why Aiwass is very close to and trusts Lily, but Lily is always very cautious and distant from Aiwass.
Because she was worried that one day, Aiwass would find that she had remembered the wrong person.
If it is revealed that he has faked his identity, then maybe his good feelings will turn into bad feelings.
——She has never dared to take things that are not hers.
But even so, she still felt very nervous when she actually saw Freya. Although she was very careful not to cross the line... she still felt guilty that she had stolen something.
"How are those two children doing recently?" Freya asked.
"...The young master is about to get engaged now," Lily replied, "Miss Yulia's problem with the phantom egg has also been solved."
"It'll be good if we can solve it. I thought Yulia was already... but getting engaged... so soon. He's only eighteen this year, right?"
Freya touched her chin and corrected: "No, it's not too soon. He has become an archbishop, so he has to have a child quickly."
"...What does it have to do with the Archbishop?"
"The higher the energy level, the lower the probability of giving birth to a child. This is also one of the laws of equilibrium in the world - the strong are not good at raising children. The elves have a long life span, but the population has never exploded. Part of the reason is because the elves are not good at sexual matters.
It is relatively cold, on the other hand, it is also because the average energy level of the elves is too high."
Freya replied calmly: "As Aiwass, he has to leave his bloodline quickly. Otherwise, when he is in his twenties, he may reach the fifth level - then he will be
It’s hard to leave any descendants.”
"...You have to worry about it."
Lily obviously didn't know this secret, and her facial features suddenly tightened: "He must leave descendants."
"Why," Freya said lazily, "can he get engaged to the princess? He also has to leave offspring - if my brother doesn't want to have a baby, then he won't have one, it's the same. I'm just saying, if he wants a baby
If you have children, it’s best to do it as soon as possible.”
"It's not that the princess..."
"Um?"
"It's Her Majesty the Queen."
"……ha?"
Freya was stunned for a moment, her expression obviously frozen.
Then she suddenly realized: "Oh yes, the new queen is that Isabel... How old is she?"
"Less than one year older than the young master."
"...So young? Is it because of the royal family's curse?"
Freya said in astonishment: "That curse is actually real? I thought it was a cover up by Hawkeye..."
They chatted and soon arrived at the location.
What surprised them was that there was a bar.
As soon as he opened the curtain, he heard the strong smell of alcohol, shouts, and curses coming from inside.
It was so noisy inside that Freya couldn't help but frown.
In the middle of the bar, there is a screen made of a large crystal.
It is a ritual magic similar to the surveillance mirror of the Thirteenth Circle, which can directly peer into an area.
From a distance, they could only see a patch of green on the screen, and nothing else could be seen clearly.
Suddenly, everyone shouted in unison: "Unicorn! Unicorn! Unicorn!"
"——The ball went in!"
A heartbreaking voice sounded.
Then the entire bar suddenly turned into a sea of joy, with shouts, screams, and the clinking of wine glasses filling the sky.
Freya's ears have become a little sharp because she drank the wine of eternal life, and her hearing has become very good now.
Now her eyes were blinded by the noise, and she covered her ears with both hands with a somewhat ugly look on her face - she had not heard such a level of noise for almost ten years, and she could hear every word clearly.
Chu.
...Mr. Oswald, is it really possible to be in a place like this?
Lily, who was standing behind Freya, was also a little confused for a moment.
