This is a truth that Aiwass did not expect at all.
But he also suddenly understood why his grandfather, who had come into contact with so many extraordinary people and had such a wide network of contacts, had to go to a remote countryside to become a poor poet who was neither famous nor making any money
Grandpa, he is hiding from trouble
Aiwass also suddenly understood why his biological father and mother were on the path of devotion and the path of beauty respectively, and his adoptive father was not on the path of transcendence. Despite this situation, he inexplicably developed a great obsession with demonology.
That is the path tendency carved into the blood.
The children of talented extraordinary people will usually become extraordinary people on the same path. In fact, it is not inheritance of talent, but inheritance of desire, or "debt".
If you are not talented enough, it may be a matter of luck.
But if the level has been raised to the limit long ago and the advancement ceremony is not performed, the call from the path will become stronger. If an offspring is obtained at this time, the overflowing "calling" will be passed on to the offspring, and the parent generation will be liberated by this.
This is also the reason why ancient nobles would leave more heirs.
Nobles are usually high-ranking people. But they don't want to, or don't dare to continue to advance, so they need to continue to give birth to children to restore the influence of the power of the path on their souls. But if you suppress yourself for too long, the first child born is often prone to mental illness.
During the Herasl Empire, this phenomenon was called the "Firstborn Disaster" by royal scholars who had not yet figured out the principle.
Imperial scholars regard this as a curse imposed by the apostles to explain why the eldest son of each family is often the most likely to inherit the family business, but is also the most susceptible to mental illness.
Those nobles who focus on their careers and have not yet given birth to children in their thirties or forties are prone to go crazy with their first children; but commoners are usually fine, and if nobles get married very early, they will not appear. This situation.
The solution for scholars to solve this curse is to let the imperial nobles get married and have children as soon as possible.
If you get married soon after embarking on the extraordinary path, you will often not have to wait too long before giving birth to a child after the promotion on the path gets stuck. Although they didn't understand the principle, they finally solved the problem.
After that, children prone to madness usually came from "illegitimate children". Because early marriage can control the birth of children within marriage, but it cannot control the bloodline of children born outside marriage. If the cheating partner is also a transcendent, it is easy to get pregnant and give birth to a cursed child. Phantom eggs are also easily born in these children.
Even in the knight family, not many people know this secret. As an unofficial supernatural being, Aiwass's grandfather could not have known about this. And he did not dare to advance, so his children inherited part of the urge to embark on the path of transcendence.
This is one of the reasons why Avalon's lawless ways are endless today. Once an illegal transcendent is discovered, that isLong-term detention or even death penalty, but even so, they are never completely killed.
Since Julio is not crazy, then there is a high probability that he is not the eldest son. In other words, there should be a brother or sister above him, so Aiwass's grandfather Jacob should be very old.
"At the beginning, the Scaleless Hands was a folk ritual society. Their profession at that time was not demonologists, but spellcasters specializing in rituals and curses. They did not have any mastery in their hands. Knowledge about Demonology Demonology is, after all, a knowledge that requires a lot of sacrifices and constant trial and error of materials.
“They secretly teach some ritual knowledge and use rituals to help others. He will also curse and kill some corrupt judges or officials, so he has gained a very good reputation among the people.
“Later, with the sponsorship of the Star Antimony people, the remnants of Alctoros joined the Scaleless Hands with the orthodox inheritance of demonology, and eventually achieved high positions.”
< p> Sherlock continued, "Anyway, everyone is an illegal transcendent who has transcended the path, and their purpose is to resist the hands of the royal family. Most people think that this is not much different. The essence of transcending the path is rebellion by any means, They don't care about morals and rules. After all, demons are much easier to learn than rituals and curses."Later, the number of demonologists in the organization gradually surpassed that of spellcasters, and finally a pure-blood giant took control of Scaleless. After the Hand was organized, the organization was renamed Noble Red and all senior leaders were replaced by hybrid giants.
“Some old-time conjurers have distanced themselves from the Noble Red Society, and have quit the association and chosen to live in seclusion, including your grandfather Jacob. The profession of conjurer is inherited. It originally came from those demonologists who believed that demons were despicable, dangerous and uncontrollable. Their understanding of the path to transcendence was different from that of demonologists. They believed that demons were a kind of power that was easy to obtain and easy to lose. Transcendence was accomplished with the help of contracted demons. It's not pure or safe."
Sherlock said with a sneer, "According to my investigation, of all the curse masters who have withdrawn from the Noble Red Society, none of them have survived. Their entire family has died. Curse. Then there is obviously only one truth."
"So that's it"
Aiwass sighed.
He admired Sherlock's investigative ability. "When did you start investigating?"
"Last Sunday."
Sherlock sipped He took a sip of wine, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and smiled smugly. "The first time they came into my sight was when Edward and I went to investigate the Sweater Brotherhood.
"Mr. Curiosity, chose to tempt me with other puzzles. But what he didn't expect was that when people who have studied psychology, the second topic they subconsciously think of in this situation is often related to the matter itself.
“The bait he used to divert my attention was a case code-named Hongshi that was recently investigated by the Inspectorate.A powerful, small-sized portable alchemy bomb was smuggled from the Pelican Bar to Avalon.
“As far as I know, Avalon does not have the conditions to make portable alchemy bombs. Alchemy in Avalon started too late, and even the explosives used for mining and blasting have to be imported. This kind of alchemical bomb can only be a new thing made by the alchemists of the Star Antimony people. Moreover, the Pelican Bar was investigated as a smuggling den, which confirms my opinion.
< p> "So I have a bold guess. Perhaps the Noble Red Society, a folk association composed of Avalonians, was an organization supported by the Kingdom of Star Antimony from the very beginning. ”“Indeed. "Aiwass nodded in agreement.
"Not only that, Aiwass. I followed this point and went to investigate the history of the Noble Red Society when it was first established, but found that I couldn't find it. So I realized one thing. Most of the Noble Red Society has changed its name. "
As Sherlock spoke, he crossed his legs and knocked on the table rhythmically. His cheeks were a little flushed, and his body leaned back proudly under the gaze of the four people. "Under what circumstances, an illegal Will the Extraordinary Organization suddenly change its name? Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that they will suddenly go crazy. But given the size of the Noble Red Society, I'm leaning toward a name change that makes sense, such as a change of ownership.
"So I turned to investigate the societies of transcendental beings other than the Noble Red Society, and found the Scaleless Hands who had gradually disappeared fifty years ago. After my confirmation, they were the same people. An organization. While investigating the Scaleless Hands, I noticed the name of one of the founders, Jacob Alexander, who died of typhoid fourteen years ago. I had just investigated you, Aiwass, at that time. Very sensitive to both Alexander and fourteen years ago.
“Yes, Aiwass is your grandfather. When I found this step, the truth easily connected in my mind. "
Sherlock put down the half-drunk glass of wine in his hand, looked at Bishop Mathers, and said in a louder voice than usual, "So, I don't quite agree with what you said before. I am inclined to believe that the statement made by the Supervisory Bureau is true, but some facts are hidden.
"It is entirely possible that Jacob Alexander contained secrets in an unpublished poem. Because at that time his eldest son was dead and his second son Giulio embarked on the path of devotion. The Noble Red has become the largest and only folk association beyond the path in Avalon, and the inheritance of the Curse Master has been effectively severed.
"In other words, he has the motive to leave a secret. But I prefer that he realized that Alexander was cursed, so he wanted to leave some evidence and clues. But in the end, someone followed the curse and discovered and erased the evidence.
"The Iron Hook Demon can teleport following the curse. If he hides his location in some way, but is cursed through blood, it can explain why the old Jacob who lives in a remote village Bu was attacked and all the manuscripts were taken away."
At this point, there was a smile on his face.Sherlock, who was obviously blushing, looked at Aiwass with his piercing eyes, and said firmly, "I'm right, Mr. Fox."
Hearing this, Aiwass blinked Blinking, noncommittal.
He just asked, "How did you guess it?"
"It's very simple, because I guess you have been promoted to the second level. If you get it right at the right time, I can guess it." When I went to the Palace of Silver and Tin to pick you up, Her Royal Highness told me to put the matter of Mr. Fox aside for now. Looking back now, she should have recognized your identity at that time.
"Please don't look at me like that, Mr. Bishop, I didn't eavesdrop on your conversation. I know this through reasoning. ”
After only half a glass of wine, Mr. Detective, who had drunk too much, was happily humming a tune.
Without waiting for others to ask for advice, he took care of himself. Answering, "You gave the key to the chapel to Aiwass. I know this. It was you who led Aiwass into the extraordinary path. When he came home that day, I met Aiwass and saw the key from his wheelchair. I remembered it then.
"When you saw the news, you were not shocked or surprised by Aiwass, but you were obviously a little angry. It was like being betrayed. I guess you thought Aiwass was I couldn't drive this sword, so I suspected that he was hiding another extraordinary profession.
"But when I came down, I saw you talking happily and even talking about some secret past. This can only be your confirmation that Aiwass has indeed stepped onto the second energy level. "
Sherlock smiled and said, "What I want to say is that you are worrying too much. I can confirm that Mr. Aiwass is a newcomer on the extraordinary path. He participated in the advancement ceremony for the first time a week ago, which was the same ceremony as my advancement on the wisdom path. He is a true genius, a genius dedicated to his path, which is not a bad thing. It's better than him being a genius beyond the path. "
What if I am both?
Aiwass raised his eyebrows and asked in his mind.
After Sherlock recognized Aiwass, His wariness and resistance to the "fox" were immediately wiped away. He did not feel embarrassed that he had not recognized it, but admired Aiwass's disguise.
Sherlock sighed, " If you think about it carefully, you have actually left a lot of flaws. I should have recognized your understanding of poetry and poetry, your playboy temperament, and the fact that Her Royal Highness the Princess is so fond of you. The reason I didn't recognize you was because I was too arrogant and stuck to my initial reasoning, while denying other possibilities. My thoughts have also been affected by transcending the path. ”
After drinking too much, Sherlock became more and more clear in his cheerfulness and enthusiasm that was completely different from his usual coldness and reserve. He warmly invited, “I have an idea, Aiwass, you will definitely come.” I like that kind of adventure. When you and Haina take a vacation, the Chinese New Year is almost here, and she will definitely go home. Why don't we go back with her and investigate your grandfather's true identity?"The cause of death"
"Didn't you already find out clearly?" Aiwass asked.
"That is only second-hand information after all, Mr. Fox. You are still not rigorous enough and have overlooked some details. "
Sherlock was in high spirits, and his words were full of childlike curiosity and boasting of his talents. "After all, it is only the Hook Demon who can be teleported, not a real demonologist. I think your grandfather must have left other clues that were not completely destroyed by the demons. After all, he also knew those demonologists and should understand their methods.
"What, you're not interested in this?"
"I am, but there's just one problem, Sherlock."
Aiwass shook Shaking his head, "What should I do with Yulia?"
"Then take her with you. You are a second-level priest. And it's almost the middle of the month for your vacation. You might be promoted again. The investigation of this complex case has made my improvement in wisdom very smooth. I feel that I will definitely touch the threshold of the third level in the next month. You are such a genius and you can't complete the advancement in one day. Slow down."
Sherlock encouraged Aiwass excitedly, his face turned completely red, "Third-level priest, what are you afraid of? Are you not interested in your grandfather's secret?"
p>You didn’t drink too much, did you?
Aiwass finally realized something was wrong.
This twenty-six-year-old young man is now as pure and happy as a teenager who discovered a fun game.
If he had not entered the path of authoritarianism back then, perhaps Shylock should be like this now.
Aiwass finally knew why he said he would stop drinking. He really couldn’t touch alcohol.
Although the brandy is about forty degrees, the cup of hot apple brandy contains at least two-thirds of apple juice, and it is only as much as a slightly larger tea cup.
Sherlock has just drank half a glass. Can this glass have 100 milliliters?
This amount of alcohol is probably equivalent to pouring half a bottle of beer
< p>How can an adult have such an outrageous drinking capacity? Aren't you a transcendent?"You'd better not drink next time, Sherlock."
Aiwass means it sincerely "As for going to Eagle Cape Village, I think we still have to ask Senior Sister Haina, right?"
