atbaatba After Aiwass returned to the Palace of Silver and Tin, he immediately asked Lily to call the Hermes Manor and invite the Lord Chamberlain Mycroft Hermes over.
After Aiwass and the transformed Isabel finished mounting the painting, the palace minister, who was as cheerful as a fat seal, shook his body and hurried over.
Although he had to work overtime urgently two years ago, Mycroft showed no resentment at all and seemed to be in a good mood.
After he used the "preservation technique" to preserve the painting, Aiwass curiously asked him what good thing had happened to make him so happy.
After hearing the result, Aiwass was shocked, "What, Sherlock has gone home"
He is even a smaller child now and he went home like this< /p>
The relationship between Sherlock and his family is not good, and Aiwass has known this for a long time.
He lived alone outside for a long time. Before moving to Bishop Mathers' house, he even suffered from chronic malnutrition due to irregular work, rest and eating habits. If Edward hadn't kept a close eye on him and often rushed over to take a look in the morning and bring breakfast, Sherlock might have been hungry and had an accident before he knew it.
It’s not because I have no money, but because I’m too lazy to eat when I’m busy. But when he is free, he will eat well, but such a hungry and full meal is even worse for the body.
In general, it was because no one took care of him. According to Avalon's authoritarian customs, ordinary people cannot hire servants. Only those whose income and status reached a certain level and had a family could hire a very limited number of housekeepers and maids.
The Hermes family has a quota, and Sherlock also has a personal maid who has grown up with him. But when he left home, not only did he not take his maid with him, he didn't even take a penny from the house.
All his income is either consulting fees for helping the Supervisory Bureau solve cases, or a small amount of remuneration for helping people solve some private cases. And Sherlock has no habit of saving money. He spends whatever money he has. But he lived peacefully and comfortably.
When Sherlock faked his death before, he didn't even choose to go home. Instead, he went to Bishop Mathers' house to stay temporarily. In Sherlock's family, only his brother Mycroft knew that Sherlock was alive. When Shylock was "resurrected" later, he just sent a letter home to show that he was still alive.
It was Bishop Mathers who urged him to go back and have a look, so Sherlock went back and took a look around. After proving that he was indeed alive, he left immediately without even staying overnight or having a dinner.
But does Sherlock have any grudge against his family?
That doesn’t seem to be the case.
At Sherlock's "funeral", his mother became very haggard because of Sherlock's accident. She burst out crying, the sadness that could not be faked. Sherlock's father, Arthur, was also in a very depressed mood and was obviously very concerned about his situation.child.
In fact, Aiwass has always been curious about how Sherlock broke up with his family. But whenever he asked, Sherlock either kept silent or changed the subject. It's not easy for Aiwass to break the casserole and ask the truth, as it can easily hurt feelings.
Hearing Aiwass’ question, Mycroft just laughed awkwardly from the side.
Until Isabel and Ligeia came over curiously and asked in person.
Mycroft had already guessed that Ligeia was Meg. Therefore, the loyal chamberlain gave Ligeia a meaningful look before finally giving an honest explanation.
As a result, Aiwass couldn't hold himself any longer.
Also unable to hold back was Ligeia next to her.
Because Sherlock had a falling out with his family, Meg had to bear one-third of the blame.
That was when Sherlock was about to graduate, which was actually a few years ago.
At that time, Meg took a fancy to Sherlock and wanted to take him as her apprentice.
Shylock is quite talented in the authoritarian path, very young, and loyal enough to the queen. He is very smart, has leadership and calmness, has no obsession or preference for the opposite sex, and is an upright person with no desire for power.
This is an extremely perfect template for the authoritarian path.
Because he is young enough, he will not want to chase the dusk and become lazy and conservative; because he lacks obsession with power, he will not pursue transcendence and intend to rebel; he has no obsession with beautiful members of the opposite sex, so It is not easy to fall into the path of love and be seduced by foreign spies.
This seals the three most trouble-prone deviations on the path of authoritarianism.
At the same time, his clever mind can make him a qualified leader; his loyalty to the queen can also make him assist the future monarch.
It can be said that there is nothing wrong with Meg's vision.
And by that time, Meg's lifespan was almost over. She must find a successor.
She wants to train Shylock with all her strength, let him enter the Inspectorate, then be promoted to the Arbitration Hall, and eventually inherit her position to become the next generation of great arbiter.
But at that time, Shylock had the urge to pursue the path of wisdom.
When he was in school, he felt unprecedented fulfillment, excitement and satisfaction from reasoning and solving puzzles, and finally realized what he really wanted to do.
The fact that Meg is approaching her lifespan is a top secret that only the top brass of the pro-Queen faction knows and is strictly kept secret. Sherlock's father, Arthur, knew about this and felt very honored that Sherlock could be recognized and become the future Grand Arbiter.
In addition, Meg has a very high status in Avalon, but has rarely made a request for more than ten years. Naturally, Arthur was even more interested and chased Sherlock to ask him to agree with Meg's opinion.
At that time, Shylock was also somewhat rebellious. He had no regard for power.I have no interest, I just want to pursue the truth. Just like Aiwass was obsessed with the urge to transcend the path, Shylock also became stubborn because of his powerful talent for the path of wisdom.
"Sherlock was very naughty when he was a child, but his family was relatively open-minded. Both his mother and father had a gentle personality."
Mycroft said helplessly. Therefore, the family has always allowed him to have various interests and hobbies. But after all, that time was a big event, and his father became very tough. And because the matter was confidential, he could not explain the meaning behind it to Sherlock. .
"It was a time when Sherlock was in high spirits. He was studying the knowledge about the path of wisdom in the school library like crazy, and he was very excited to discuss it with me. "
At that time, there was light in his eyes. Mycroft said softly with some nostalgia.
"Sherlock was very angry at his father's interference, and even felt unbelievable. It feels like being betrayed by your family. But I actually know that this is essentially a misunderstanding caused by confidential matters that cannot be told to family members. After all, if Sherlock really doesn't agree, his father can't tie him over. "
Mycroft said helplessly, "But after that, Ms. Meg never recruited any apprentices again. No matter what kind of genius comes out of the school, you will know that she will always look down on what happens next. ”
“The Supreme Glory Plan?”
Ligeia murmured, sighing a little, “So that’s what happened”
She took a look and felt a little confused. So Aiwas and Isabel later explained to them in detail
This plan actually refers to Meg being promoted to the sixth level in advance.
Meg is actually still alive. He can live for a long time.
If all the life-extending rituals and props are used, he can survive for at least twenty years.
Of course, he will be able to fight later. It is estimated that there will not be much left, but it can at least serve as a clear flag and serve as a deterrent.
Although it will become weaker due to continued aging, as long as there is a suitable inheritance. If she is the successor, she actually doesn't have to worry too much about Avalon's future. But if she can't find a suitable successor, she must prepare for promotion while her body is still strong and her mental state is good. , the less likely the promotion will be successful.
“To be honest, no one feels that the Supreme Glory Plan is very implementable. And his father did not know the existence of the Shadow of Avalon project at the time, so his father thought that Sherlock's willfulness made a big mistake and angered Ms. Meg and disappointed her.
"So he was furious and accused Sherlock very strongly. He also issued a death order, asking him to apologize to Ms. Meg and change his mind."
"Wait a moment "Wait a minute," Ligeia couldn't hold herself any longer and revealed her identity directly, "You should know that I used to be Meg, right? Fatty, let me state in advance that I emphasize that I was really not pregnant at the time.gas.
“I was looking for a successor for many years before I found Sherlock. If he wasn’t willing, I felt that it would be difficult for another successor of the same level to appear if I continued to delay, so I decided to Just focus on maintaining your mind and body and prepare to implement another plan. "Yes," Mycroft smiled helplessly, "I also feel that you are probably not angry." It's because Sherlock didn't accept your invitation.
"Sherlock felt that his father was unreasonable, and he almost had a furious quarrel with his father, and then he moved out and prepared to pursue his ideal. I never told him the truth about this matter. It was only after you appeared that I explained the truth to him. ”
Obviously, this top smart person in Avalon realized that Ligeia was Meg as soon as she appeared.
Mycroft After realizing that what Sherlock had done wrong was over, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and told him the truth, because by that time, the fundamental conflict between Sherlock and his father Arthur had disappeared.
Mycroft also really loves Sherlock, so he protects him so carefully, not only to protect his safety, but also to protect his spirit and mind.
It turns out that Sherlock was partly responsible for the collapse of Avalon.
Aiwass couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
History is really entangled. A complex system together. It seems to be related to everyone.
Aiwass also finally understood why Sherlock was in such a low mood during the previous promotion ceremony like Inception. He looked so confused, like a cat soaked in the rain or a homeless abandoned dog.
He also wanted to sacrifice himself to send Aiwass and Isabel to promotion.
< p> Several times, Aiwass felt like he was quarreling with his girlfriend when he wanted to give up his promotion on the path of wisdom and switch to the path of authority when he was next promoted.After knowing that I was wrong, I still insisted that I was right, but I still regretted it and wanted to make major sacrifices and changes as if nothing had happened to show that I had admitted my mistake.
It was Aiwass who coaxed him for a long time and gave him a new career, which cheered up Sherlock's spirit.
At that time, Aiwass vaguely felt that Sherlock was craving for failure. But he didn't know the reason behind it.
Now Aiwass finally understood. Looking back, Sherlock finally understood the mistakes he made when he was young.
He didn't. He knew how to make up for the mistakes he had made, but Sherlock's pride made him unable to let go. He just wanted to find another way to make up for it, but he didn't want to and didn't dare to go back and apologize.
In fact, at this time. , Sherlock has already realized his mistake. It’s just that he is missing a step.
If he can help Aiwass in the promotion ceremony.If he makes sacrifices with Isabel, it can be used as a step to show that his detective career is just a personal hobby, and now he still has to return to the path of a lawyer.
But Sherlock didn’t really give up on detectives. He just used it as a sacrifice to fill the guilt of his naive and willful nearly causing a huge disaster.
It's like pinching your own hands when you have a headache, or listening to some bitter love songs when you're falling in love.
Use pain to relieve pain. Use damage to numb damage.
“I don’t know who talked him through it,” Aiwass couldn’t help but say, “I really have to thank him.”
“No.”< /p>
Mycroft said with a smile, "And Sherlock is so cute now as a child. Both his father and mother seem to be more than ten years younger. I haven't seen such a happy family in a long time." It has been many, many years since there has been such a reunion.
"If Your Majesty has nothing else to do, I will go back to celebrate the New Year. ”
He said with an almost show-off ease.
For Sherlock’s change, and for the happiness of the family.
Even Aiwass and Isabel , couldn't help but put on a cheerful smile.
"Okay, let's go back. "
Isabel smiled and said, "Take my blessing and say hello to Sherlock and Arthur for me. "
Looking at the bright and generous smile of the young queen, Mycroft glanced at Aiwass thoughtfully, and then nodded happily
"Okay, okay. ”
