"Senior Haina"
Aiwass was a little surprised, "Is it such a coincidence?"
He did know that Haina came from a small place, and she should be a A town with little commercial development.
The best evidence is that she doesn’t know how to put on makeup, and she doesn’t know much about skin care and dressing.
Haina was pursued by so many classmates solely because she had a good foundation. Her usual clothes are just a light brown shirt and a brown leather vest. The only thing that can be called jewelry is a leather wristband embroidered with prismatic patterns.
Not to mention girls, even boys wouldn’t dress like this when going out these days. It's more like the mercenaries or explorers who explored remote areas hundreds of years ago.
But unexpectedly, his biological father Julio also came from that place.
"It's not a coincidence"
Sherlock's pupils were dull and his face was even a little pale. He staggered to the table and rummaged through the honey jar. "Where is the honey?"
"Are you hypoglycemic, Sherlock?"
Mrs. Mina Chapter One of them reacted and poured Sherlock a cup of slightly lukewarm black tea, then added several spoonfuls of honey.
Sherlock drank it down, took a deep breath, and then fell down on the chair. The others didn't speak, they just raised their heads and looked at him quietly and motionless.
After a while, he finally recovered.
Sherlock leaned his upper body back and subconsciously moved his hand to his breast pocket where there should have been a pocket containing his cigars or cigarettes. But now he just got nothing.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
As if to ease the embarrassment, he said coldly.
Looking at this familiar attitude, Aiwass was sure that he was really well.
"I think you need some hot brandy, Mr. Sherlock"
Bishop Mathers asked.
"Thank you very much," Sherlock, who usually doesn't drink, surprisingly didn't refuse at this moment, "If you can, please give me some more biscuits."
Just a cup of honey black tea, It can only wake him up. But it wasn't enough to get him into his usual high-intensity thinking state.
Mrs. Mina nodded. The voice asked, "Do you smoke?"
"Thank you, I don't smoke."
Bishop Mathers replied calmly, "And you shouldn't smoke either, Illumination Technique The treatment is not completely free of side effects. It burns away the pain in your body and fills it with false light. Your body needs to work on its own to replenish and restore its deficit. ”
< p>"I know, damn it. I mean forget it"Sherlock was a little annoyed, but his language was still"I can drink, but I can't smoke. It doesn't make sense."
"Of course," Bishop Mathers's rhythmic voice sounded like a scripture narration, "Actually, the more important thing is The reason is that I don't like people smoking, especially in my house. I am very sensitive to the smell of smoke and will sneeze."
"Okay, I respect your habit, thank you, Mina. Madam."
Sherlock took the cookie from Mrs. Mina.
Mina explained softly, with a gentle voice, "The wine is heating up, please eat some biscuits first to cushion your stomach."
"Thank you," Sherlock thanked softly, "Already It’s okay. If you consume too much sugar in a short period of time, you will easily get dizzy."
While chewing the biscuits, he slowly explained to Aiwass, "I have investigated you before. And Haina, she came to attend classes at Wangli Law University because she knew your grandfather before.
“Your grandfather is called Jacob, and he is a not-so-famous poet. He is also a fairy tale writer and writer. Long ago, he was a local reporter covering the Cow and Harbor, a newspaper published in Muwan County. When he was still a reporter, Jacob came into contact with many extraordinary beings, and he even experienced the establishment of the predecessor of Noble Red. "
"Noble Red"
Hearing the familiar term, Aiwass frowned slightly and repeated in a low voice.
Sherlock subconsciously sneered. "You may not believe that the original Noble Red Society was just a folk organization where some illegal extraordinary people who had transcended the path gathered together to warm each other. At that time they were not called by this name, but called Hands Without Scales, which means one who does not wear armor.
"At that time, His Majesty Sophia had not yet ascended the throne, and the king was still Tudor III."
As he spoke, his tone gradually became sharp and clear, "He was known as the Hanged King. . During the Tudor III period, the most famous product was the Hanging Square. The entire square was filled with people who were hanged, and the number of gallows was much greater than it is now.
"Generally speaking, Prisoners who were hanged were supposed to be hung in public after their death, but in the Tudor period there were times when there were not enough prisoners to hang on the same day and the prisoners who were hanged were lowered to make room for those who followed.
“At that time, other types of capital punishment had not yet been abolished, and hanging was just one of many capital punishments. According to the laws of Avalon, the death penalty required the signature of the king or queen before it could be executed. And the law enacted by Tudor III The law is extremely harsh, and a person who steals more than fourteen red candles can be sentenced to death, which is less than one white crown.
“Because this standard is too low, many judges will modify the prisoner’s testimony to include theft. The amount was changed to 13 red candles and 9 copper hourglasses to avoid too many people being executed. Ironically, this standard of stealing would only result in ten days of detention. After the thief's detention ends, the judge will immediately send them to prison to make up for the missing amount of theft, which means dividing the original stolen amount into multiple detentions. ”
"That's true."
Bishop Mathers nodded, "There was a popular joke when I was a kid. A thief was told by the judge that he would be sentenced to eleven days of detention. The thief burst into tears. He expressed that he didn't want to die and asked the judge to be lenient. The judge asked confusedly, "It's just 11 days of detention, it's not like this."
"Then what?" Aiwass asked with interest.
By the time he was that age, he had stopped hearing this joke.
The bishop smiled, and then said vividly, "The thief said that you must have just taken office. As we all know, our King can only count to ten. If he exceeds ten, he will be anxious to kill." There is also a joke about the bishop and the king. The bishop advised the king that we should make good friends and cut off our enemies."
"Thank you for your teachings, I have always persisted. By doing this, I no longer have any enemies, the king said piously, and all those people have been killed by me."
"Sounds like a tyrant."
< p>Aiwasrui commented.What he said is actually not in line with Avalon's rules. But among the people present, Shylock, the only one who had walked the path of authoritarianism, did not have any official title, so no one had any objections to this.
Sherlock even nodded and agreed, "So we praise Her Majesty Sophia. The many policy improvements she made after taking the throne have greatly eased the tense atmosphere in Avalon. On the other hand, , it is precisely because of people’s dislike of the old king that they enthusiastically support Her Majesty the Queen.
“Without such a foundation, Her Majesty would want to carry out so many reforms in a short period of time. The political resistance to be endured must also be great. "
"But even so," Bishop Mathers added, "there was a lot of resentment towards the royal family. ”
“The Noble Red Society is a product of that period. "
As Sherlock said, he reached out and took the hot wine from Mrs. Mina.
"Don't I remember that you never drink, Sherlock?"
Aiwass raised his eyebrows
Sherlock nodded, "I don't treat alcohol as a drink, it will only damage my brain. But when I feel uncomfortable, I also drink a cup of hot brandy. I regard it as a kind of medicine. "
"I guess you woke up with a headache this morning. It should have a good therapeutic effect. I added a generous amount of apple juice, along with cinnamon, ginger slices and lemon zest. In addition to being refreshing, it should also be able to ward off the cold. You caught a bit of a cold yesterday."
Mrs. Mina whispered softly, "If it is simmered for a longer time, it should taste better. But it should taste good now. "
"Praise to you, Mrs. Mina. "
Sherlock bowed his head solemnly and thanked her, smiling and flattering her craftsmanship, "I smelled the fragrance from a long distance away. The person who marries you must be lucky. ”
“YesIn fact, I was lucky to pursue Mina in the first place. "
Bishop Mathers smiled and said with a proud smile, "I am happy every day now. I really hope it can continue like this." ”
And Aiwass asked, “Later on, how come Shylock’s spontaneous organizations of folk extraordinary people became Noble Red?”
“It seems that you should You know that the people behind the Noble Red Society are Star Antimony people, and I guess Edward didn't tell you who the top people of the Noble Red Society are. Then let me tell you for him. You should know this now. "
Sherlock raised his eyebrows, took a sip of hot cider and said softly, "Your grandfather Jacob was a spellcaster who transcended the path. He was once a member of the Scaleless Hands. "
"What"
Hearing this, Aiwass suddenly opened his eyes wide.
"That's how it is"
Bishop Mathers was also very surprised, "I haven't heard of this profession: Conjuration Mage for a long time. ”
