After a friendly tug, Yunus led the way and welcomed Awas into the house.
Behind him, Sherlock fell a few steps behind until he was parallel to Aiwass.
The corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he whispered in a slightly narrow voice: "Did you notice?"
Aiwass just looked forward at Yunus's back, without looking back at Sherlock: "Naturally."
What Shylock was referring to was the fact that Yunus had recognized Aiwass's identity.
This is not surprising.
Although Yunus has always been active as a knight and has not turned into Prince Albert for a long time...but he is active in Avalon after all. In other words, although I don't know if Yunus ever returned to the Glass Island on his way...
But he can definitely see the newspaper.
Yunus first left Avalon after Queen Sofia passed away and Isabel officially assumed the position of queen.
In other words, he must know that Aiwass was Isabel's only trusted minister when she came to the throne; and he will even know that Aiwass is the minister of Avalon.
...The only problem is that my father-in-law will most likely also read the news about "Miss Aleister".
The long-running scandal between Aiwass and Aleister... This was the number one hot topic in Avalon before Her Majesty the Queen passed away.
The news itself was a method used by Aiwass to divert the attention of the people of Avalon at that time. Although Isabel knew that Aleister was Aiwass, so she had no reaction... but others obviously did not know.
In their view, by bringing Aiwass into the ranks of her confidants, Isabel was competing with the mysterious and noble Miss Aleister for a man.
At that time, Sherlock felt that this was not a good idea. But now Aiwass will encounter a little trouble - or retribution - for what he did, so he will only smile and gloat from the side.
If it weren't for the fact that there were too many strangers here...if there were only him and Aiwass here, Sherlock would probably have to circle around Aiwass, playing the violin freely and singing the Avalon national anthem.
.
But Aiwass was unfazed by this.
He just turned his head slightly, looked at Sherlock, and asked softly: "Did you find anything?"
"some."
Seeing that Aiwass wanted to talk business, Sherlock immediately returned to his serious expression: "I didn't go back yesterday just to confirm my suspicion..."
With that said, Yunus welcomed them into the inner room. This was a room that looked like a living room, and there was a huge white crystal screen like a TV. It looked quite modern.
A young elf couple was sitting at the tea table, and the tea on the table had not been touched much.
They don't look very old.
If you look at it from a human perspective, he may not even be thirty years old... Even if you look at the aging rate of elves, at least he cannot be considered middle-aged.
The man among them is wearing a moon-white mage robe and round glasses, with a gentle and elegant temperament. The wife is wearing a goose-yellow short dress and white long stockings, and has a flower-like hairpin on her head. If you don't go
Judging from her mature temperament and just looking at her appearance and dressing style, it is possible to think of her as a student.
Seeing a large group of people entering, the elf couple stood up politely and nodded to everyone - mainly to say hello to Aiwass, who was wearing the archbishop's red robe.
"Let me introduce you two. This is our outstanding talent in Avalon, the well-known Aiwass Moriarty! Gentle, handsome, and suave, he is the idol of thousands of girls and the Son of the Moon during the Empire.
She also fell in love with him and even had a relationship with Her Majesty the Queen who was only nineteen years old——"
Yunus introduced Aiwass to them enthusiastically.
Aiwass nodded slightly and corrected with a gentle smile: "The previous ones are just scandals - but the relationship with Her Majesty the Queen is real. In fact, Isabel and I are already engaged."
Hearing this, Yunus was suddenly stuck for a moment.
The corners of Sherlock's mouth on the side couldn't help but rise, but he quickly suppressed it with a stern face.
Immediately afterwards, Aiwass took over the conversation: "This is my friend Lily. She will come to the Theocracy with me to protect me; I believe you all know Detective Sherlock... He received it
After receiving a letter asking for help from Mr. Yunus, he came to me and brought him here. Now he also lives in my residence."
"Archbishop Moriarty."
Obviously, the couple recognized Aiwass more highly than Yunus.
The male mage came over, put his right hand on his chest, and nodded slightly to Aiwass: "I have heard about your deeds these days. I think your move is correct - we all think so."
Aiwass also walked over politely: "I don't know your name yet..."
"I am Maxime Digyan. This is my wife, Grace Deadleaf Butterfly."
Master Maxim introduced the two of them: "Mr. Yunus came to see my daughter Anastasia Moonlight... He said that he rescued Anastasia in Avalon a few years ago.
And received her gratitude. But in fact, Anastasia had already turned into a tree twenty years ago.
"However, he took out Anastasia's token. And we checked the information and found that he might actually know Anastasia... This is really weird. So Yunus
The gentleman invited the famous detective Mr. Sherlock."
When he said this, he also smiled: "But actually this matter is not important, it is just a bit magical. After all, Anastasia's soul has already entered the country of giant trees, and my wife and I
I happen to be free. That’s why I decided to do some research... Compared with that matter, it is an even greater honor for us to get to know you."
Grace also smiled at Aiwass and performed a iris-like skirt-lifting ceremony - although Aiwass didn't quite understand why he had to lift his skirt when wearing a short skirt.
When he heard the last names of the three of them, Sherlock held his forehead, obviously feeling a little headache.
In this era, only elves have such strange customs: the whole family may have completely different surnames, and they all sound weird.
Because the elves' surnames are specific inherited names, they must have meaning, so they can only be translated without transliteration; and children's talents, hobbies and specialties may not be inherited by their parents, so most parents will not hand over their inheritance to their children.
child.
On the other hand... because elves are immortal species that mainly focus on the inheritor mode, each of them usually has multiple paths. In another sense, the surname can also quickly determine the general path of the other party.
The surnames of these two people are not too uncommon, and Aiwass studied them in the Avalon Library.
For example, the inheritance of Digging is based on the path of wisdom, and also requires the level of the dusk path; the dead leaf butterfly is the inheritance of the three paths of adaptability, beauty, and dusk, and also requires a considerable level of dance skills.
Knowing the other person's last name, you can basically know the other person's personality, specialties and preferences; but this does not mean that Maxim cannot have the adaptability and extraordinary level to devote to the path or even transcend the path.
Although the surname of the elf is not decisive, it does have some reference value.
And Aiwass also understood why the two of them were so friendly and even respectful to him: "Are you opponents of the Controlled Fire faction?"
"That's right."
Maxim nodded: "Our family is all the elves of the 'Home Sect'. Those people of Controlled Fire... Let's not say that they are extreme or advanced, but at least I don't think they have done anything practical. It's just that
It’s just shouting slogans.”
"Homeland Pie?"
Sherlock on the side looked at Aiwass with some doubts.
He came here yesterday, but the other party never talked about this kind of topic with him.
But Aiwass shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.
He only remembered a few of the most well-known factions in The Theocracy - or the most capable factions: the Judgment Center, the Mediators, the Monuments Restoration Association, and the Market Supervisors.
After the Theocracy split in the original plot, these four forces quickly completed the initial separation. Coupled with the Controlled Fire, they became five forces that are hostile to each other in the Theocracy. Players need to take the Saint and go to farm this
The favor of the four forces, and Controlled Fire belongs to the most powerful red-named monster.
Among them, the Judgment Center is the faction that is currently putting pressure on Xing Antimony. They are the ultra-popular faction. They are mainly responsible for punishing other small countries that have angered the Theocracy... Most of the Pope's guards belong to this faction, so this is the most important faction in the Theocracy.
A church faction that can fight. Almost all the Queen's guards sent to Avalon and the guardians of the founding family come from this iron-blooded faction.
Mediators are mainly elves who like to break up conflicts.
They exist in all ages and classes of elves. Among the Church of Nine Pillars, these people have the largest number.
Whether it's a big war or a small fight, they will take care of it if they see it. They advocate pacifism, but the disadvantage is that they always have a sense of superiority of long-lived species - many contradictions of short-lived species are ridiculous to them
It's not important, just like how humans view cats and dogs fighting in groups. Although it is indeed the case.
Therefore, their hostility with other factions is mainly due to their attempts to "mediate", but in the end they involve themselves.
The Monuments Restoration Society may be the faction in charge of Cardinal Matilda, after all, she is responsible for "guarding the tomb"; but it may also be the faction in charge of the cardinals of the sixth and seventh circles.
This is the most conservative force within the Theocracy, and it is also the faction most hostile to the Controlled Fire - they are also those who are opposed to the short-lived species' transformation of the Theocracy and reject the professionalization process.
As for the market supervisor, Aiwass is now certain that this is the faction led by Cardinal Cyril.
——Because Aiwass now knows that he is the only cardinal in the Theocracy who understands rituals.
These supervisors specialize in cracking down on the population of various intelligent creatures, the trade in human tissue, and occasionally the trade in dangerous ritual materials. This is not for "heaven's evil", but simply to reduce the profits from killing.
As a whole, ritualists can do more by using biological materials that are more powerful, intelligent, and long-lived. Therefore, if you do not crack down on this material trade, it is equivalent to encouraging killing. If you kill people, you will
The corpses can be cut into pieces and sold to ritual masters or necromancers at high prices, which is equivalent to increasing the income of the killer. Most people cannot sell them one-on-one, so middlemen will naturally appear - among them
The profit potential is extremely huge.
It is even very likely that a sinful black profit chain will be formed as a downstream industry that helps other gray and black industries to be destroyed. And the profits generated from it may feed back to the upstream industries, obtain a stronger protective umbrella, and even secretly cultivate them.
Create powerful ritualists, cursers and necromancers.
Cardinal Cyril himself is a great wizard, and he has a good understanding of rituals and curses. Therefore, he can know which materials are valuable - as long as he investigates in turn, he can prescribe the right medicine. This is equivalent to reducing the power of his own inheritance.
Reducing the profits of murderers and evil organizations around the world... for him, this is naturally equivalent to a kind of dedication.
Without the efforts of the supervisors, Noble Red, who has sufficient supplies of ritual materials, would be much more difficult to deal with. However, generally speaking, supervisors are mainly active in the ancient Parthian Kingdom and the Star Antimony Kingdom.
When he first heard that Master Maxim was hostile to Cardinal Loki, Aiwass thought he was from the Monuments Restoration Society.
Faced with Aiwass's question, Maxim also nodded: "Yes, I was indeed originally from the Monuments Restoration Society. But I later realized that being conservative in itself has no meaning... Thanks to Cardinal Fafna's
Through his teachings, I understood how to use my life in the most valuable way.”
"Can you tell me a little bit?"
Aiwass asked.
"The Home Faction is the church faction to which Cardinal Favrna belongs...Cardinal Favrner is the manager of the third circle, and her highest proposition is 'the most long-lasting and sustained contribution is construction'."
Maxim enthusiastically introduced to Aiwass - or preached: "Your 'Silver and Tin Palace' in Avalon was built by Cardinal Favna. The same goes for other elven-style buildings...even Avalon
The orphanages, nursing homes, and mission schools in Wallonia were all built by us..."
