Crossing the Griffin Bridge, Sherlock, who was walking aside, glanced at Lily, the maid pushing the wheelchair behind Aiwass, and then said in a low voice
"To be honest, I didn't expect Ya Master Nice will give that painting to you."
"I actually didn't expect it."
Aiwass replied honestly.
“Although Master Yanis looks very friendly, she is actually quite arrogant. If she does not get her approval, Master Yanis will only smile half-heartedly and look foolish. Staring at you with a normal expression and saying nothing."
Sherlock reminded softly, "The master attaches great importance to you and hopes that you will follow the path of beauty."
"Yes."
Aiwass nodded and joked, "She wants me to be Her Royal Highness the Princess's junior brother."
"I guess you refused."
"Indeed. How did you guess it?"
"Because I don't see any passion for art from you."
Sherlock smiled Laughing "Actually, I quite like playing the violin. I think I'm quite good at it, but I didn't have the opportunity to embark on the path of beauty."
"It's not too late, Sherlock Sir."
"It's too late. In other words, I shouldn't have embarked on the path of authoritarianism from the beginning. Either balance, wisdom or beauty is more suitable for me."
He looked at Aiwass and said from the bottom of his heart, "I don't want you to embark on a certain path for a long time only to realize that you are not passionate about it. The adaptability of the path is based on talent, but not hobbies. But I I believe that hobbies are more important than talents. Talents determine the height you can reach, while interest determines your adaptability on this path.
“If you are not interested in a certain path. , but the gravity at the top of the road makes you crazily want to go further. Believe me, that kind of self-pulling torture will torture you to madness. "
"Thank you very much for sharing your experience, Mr. Sherlock. "
Aiwass knew that what Sherlock said was all valuable information. This was his heartfelt admonition, and it contained sincerity.
And when he met Sherlock There were not many times, and he was not the emotionally driven type of Isabel. The source of this goodwill undoubtedly came from his eldest brother Edward.
So Aiwass became somewhat interested.
Because he actually doesn’t know Edward that well. The age gap between Edward and himself and Yulia is too big. They are more like uncles than elder brothers, and they don’t usually interact much. There aren't many plots about Edward in Wentz's memory. He doesn't even remember Edward's name.
However, Edward is the direct cause of Aiwass's death in the plot. He serves his adoptive father. The player was ordered to sneak attack with a fatal spell, and Aiwass blocked the fatal blow for the player.
Although the primary target of his attack was not Aiwass, Aiwass would still bear it when he thought of Edward. NoJust shudder.
"I have a question, Mr. Sherlock"
Aiwass couldn't help but ask, "How did you know my brother?"
"We A classmate."
Sherlock replied succinctly, "He is the only friend I made during my college career."
"But if I remember correctly," Aihua. Si asked, "Mr. Sherlock is only in his twenties this year."
"I am twenty-six years old."
"But my eldest brother is already thirty-five years old. How did you become classmates?"
Hearing this, Sherlock couldn't help laughing.
He explained, "It's not just you young people who have risen from middle school who can go to university."
"When Edward was your age, he didn't come from Wang Lilu." Graduated from Law University. But graduated from Milton University in Gray County. ”
Although Wang Li University of Law is the largest and oldest extraordinary university in Avalon, it is not the only university.
More than three hundred years ago, Wang Li University Several professors at the University of Torah were accused by their students of "teaching heretical doctrines that are not permitted by His Majesty the King" and were therefore sentenced to the cruel punishment of cooking, specifically, the occult knowledge of the path of wisdom and the path of balance. .
After strong protests, the king of that generation reluctantly changed the result to stripping off his clothes and showing them in public, so the professors fled the Royal Law University. .
Bishop Milton from the Eternal Theocracy happened to have opened a seminary in Gray County, far away from the Glass Island.
After hearing about the experiences of those professors. , the young elf was very sympathetic, so he took in these professors. Later, many people wanted to escape from the glass island full of inspectors and the "Eye of Avalon", so Milton University gradually gained a very strong faculty. Strength. Although the enrollment scale and the area of the college are far less than that of Wangli Law University, their teaching quality is not low.
The fifth and sixth departments of Wangli Law School are opened in Queen Sophia. Previously, Milton University was the only academy in Avalon that taught "heretical doctrines" and "forbidden arts". Because of Bishop Milton's close relationship with the Eternal Theocracy, the Palace of Silver and Tin chose it. Turning a blind eye
Today, Dean Milton is still alive. Even after Avalon was destroyed by the Star Antimony, Milton University still serves as a shelter during the war.
"After graduating from Milton University, Edward studied at two universities. In the end, he skipped the Inspectorate directly, joined the Inspectorate, and got his own walking griffon.
"Seven years ago, when he studied law and learned legal arts from the Law Department of Wangli Law University, he was already twenty-seven years old, and I was just eighteen years old."
Sherlock said with some nostalgia, "When I first entered college, I was very withdrawn. Because I felt that everyone else wasA rowdy bunch of idiots, childish, stupid and impulsive. He was obviously a college student, still in a place like Wangli University of Law, but he didn't look much different from an elementary school student. Basically, a very small number of smart people from the countryside can communicate normally. However, their knowledge is far from enough, and they have no common topics to talk about.
“So I don’t want to socialize with my peers. The people I interact with the most are various professors in the school, hoping to borrow their private collections from them. And I often go to talk to various tutors My lifestyle will further keep those fools away from me.
“Once, I went to Professor Moriarty to ask an astronomy question, but I was bitten by Edward’s griffon at the door of his office.
"His griffin bloodline is not pure, its feathers are darker than the ordinary red griffin, and its body is slightly larger. Perhaps because of this, its temper is also more explosive. Edward is not Light Cavalry, so he couldn't communicate with his griffon partner. He also came to see Professor Moriarty, and the griffon stopped at the door.
"But when he saw me, he wanted to push the door. , the gryphon guarding the gate bit me directly. Just one bite left me bloody, and two bites almost broke my thigh off. Edward quickly sent me to the Candlelight Cathedral, and asked the bishop to use illumination on me personally, so that there was no disability or scar.
"Although the Bishop healed all my injuries, I was indeed frightened. And there was always a vague pain in my legs, which did not disappear until two weeks later. Edward came to my home Visit me and talk to me. I soon discovered that this is a very smart man who also has extraordinary intelligence. Although his personality is different from mine, we are undoubtedly the same kind of smart people without friends.
< p>"So we became each other's friends. We studied law together. I am the initiate and he is the refiner. But we can still have common topics. Later, he taught me about boxing. He was good at it and could even incorporate authoritative power into his fists. Stronger than the strongest boxer I know. If he were to get into the ring, he would still be a star at Avalon. A talent like that, he would be equally good no matter where he goes. ”Under Aiwass’s question, Sherlock talked about his experience with Edward.
He was obviously happy to talk about this topic. Until he asked Aiwass When he arrived at the door of Moriarty Manor, Sherlock did not change the topic. He noticed a dark griffon in the yard. It had a scarlet color. The pupils were like darker rubies.
He recognized it at a glance as the griffin raised by Edward.
Edward had left for some reason and asked Sherlock to pick him up. Himself?
Why did he come back first?
Thinking of this, Aiwass asked casually, "What was my brother going to do before?"
"Or The warehouse explosion," Sherlock replied, "may also be related to the Pelican.Those people at the bar are concerned.
"In terms of various traces, they are very similar to the explosion of the Little Jack Cod warehouse a few days ago. There are also traces of fire essence. It is also an unmanned warehouse and there are no casualties. But this time The accident happened in an abandoned stone warehouse. We haven’t found the common ground yet. However, Edward rushed over to accept the case immediately, so he should be able to find out.
“Oh, that’s right. Do you know what Flame Essence is?"
"It's similar to devil's blood, a red powder that's as salty as salt. It's just the traces left by the fire-attributed phantom in the material world. "Aiwass replied.
"Indeed, but the one you mentioned is the standard definition. Fire-attributed phantoms are quite rare, but it is not complicated for the fire spirit to imitate them through alchemy, and the raw material is just ordinary sulfur. Therefore, when the Supervisory Bureau mentions Yanjing, it usually refers to imitation Yanjing. The purity of imitation inflammatory essence is lower than that of natural inflammatory essence, but the effects and uses are actually similar. "
Sherlock explained: "It is a commonly used casting material for mages. It is also one of the ritual materials that demonologists must use when summoning any demon.
"Just like salt is the essence of the sea, if it is put into the water in proportion, it can turn the water into sea water and give the water a stronger concept of water. The essence of fire only needs to be put into the fire a little, and it can turn the water into sea water." The fire burns more vigorously, which strengthens the concept of fire.
“For low-level mages, it is difficult to use high-temperature flames without relying on the flame essence. It is considered a necessity, but it is also a dangerous product with limited purchase.
"If enough flame essence is added, things that cannot be burned originally will be burned because the concept of fire is strengthened, such as ice, steel or stone. What is ignited this time is Stones from the stone warehouse.”
Hearing this, Aiwass’s expression froze.
Wait
Something seems wrong.
Aiwass remembers that it was Veronica, the evil warlock from the Pelican Bar, who blew up the warehouse for the first time. Because he controlled the shadow demon, she went to summon the demon again the next day. . If she failed to summon the demon, there was a real chance that the failed ritual would cause the warehouse to explode.
But she had been killed by Aiwass himself.
Did the association send someone to summon the devil again?
That’s not right. It has already failed once, so it’s impossible to let a newbie come who may make the ritual fail again
< p>Sherlock comforted: "Don't be afraid, this case is actually solved.""Because the purity and structure of the flame essences synthesized by alchemists from different schools and different techniques are all slightly different." The difference is just like the salt composition extracted from different seawaters is also different. The previous batch of Flame Essence has been sent for testing. Once the final results of this Flame Essence come out, we will know where their Flame Essence came from. ”
With doubts, Aiwass said goodbye to Sherlock.
Olivier came out of the manor.Butler Swald nodded to Lily and took over Aiwass's wheelchair.
"You came back at the right time, Master Aiwass."
The old elf, who had remained silent, lowered his body slightly after entering the door and said softly, "Please first Come here and treat Miss Yulia. The condition is not very good.”
Strange, didn’t I have treatment this morning?
Aiwass was a little confused, but he didn’t show any signs of it. Voice.
He signaled Lily to leave, and then pushed Aiwass into Yulia's room.
Aiwass suddenly opened his eyes wide.
He saw that Yulia was bound by silver luminous shackles, while Edward stood aside with a serious expression, and his pupils were shining with white light.
Yuliya’s head was soaked in cold sweat, and her consciousness was obviously a little blurry.
She didn't notice Aiwass entering the door at all, she just muttered to herself as if she had a high fever and talked nonsense that others couldn't understand.
There were obvious scorch marks on her pajamas, and her fair skin was covered with red glowing cracks, like ice-cracked porcelain or glass that had exploded under the high summer temperature. From time to time, faint tongues of fire emerged from the cracks for a moment, and then were suppressed back.
Edward controlled the silver chains to restrain Yulia, squeezing her body and slowly "sticking" her broken body back together with external force.
After getting closer, Aiwass noticed that Yulia’s sweat was not transparent but looked like very light blood.
When it dries, a red powder is left behind. Please remember to bookmark, the latest and fastest website is free to read without anti-theft
