"What if it's Gray?"
After a brief silence, Aiwass suddenly spoke.
He looked at Cardinal Matilda and repeated, "What would happen if the person here was Her Royal Highness the Saint?"
Hearing this, Matilda hesitated for a moment. .
Without waiting for her to respond, Aiwass continued softly, "If Her Royal Highness the Saint will encounter trouble or danger because of this matter, then this will not be an accident."
He looked at Matilda and asked, "Is it Ningpa?"
This is a very good opportunity for Aiwass to align the intelligence and get into this incident.
Although Aiwass knew some information himself, it would not be easy for him to use it if he did not obtain it again through legal channels. Now is the perfect opportunity to "launder" this advanced intelligence.
Hearing this, Sherlock was shocked.
He is still thinking about the murderer's purpose. Has Aiwass already reached this point of reasoning?
There are obviously so many missing clues and so many possibilities. But Aiwass was extremely certain that this was the murderer's intention to catalyze the Pure White Saint's Ningpa. Or rather, he would actually give priority to the possibility that "the Saint would develop Ningpa" immediately.
It’s like answering the question with the answer.
But considering Aiwass’ prophet-like ability, Sherlock chose to remain silent for now.
Maybe that’s really the case.
Cardinal Matilda had no special reaction to this.
She breathed a sigh of relief and seemed to have become a little more relaxed. "You have discovered it as expected. After all, that fruit is what grows on your body. I'm afraid it's impossible that you don't understand it at all."
p>After all, their reactions at that time were so strange that they could tell something was wrong just by thinking about it.
"I probably can't hide this from you, but I can't tell you directly. After all, this is Grey's secret and it is very important."
Mattie Cardinal Erda bowed seriously to the three of them, "Please don't leak this matter."
"The most important thing is to say"
Sherlock Squinting his eyes, he caught the key words of concern, "If this matter spreads, it will cause trouble to Her Majesty the Saint, right."
He suddenly thought of something, "Is it the Pure White Saint?" My daughter is about to take the throne."
Cardinal Matilda glanced at Sherlock in surprise and nodded in admiration, "Yes, it will be next month.
“That’s why I said, there’s no need to worry about advanced magic. Because there will be big events in the Theocracy next. "
A big thing
Why do I think it is such a big trouble
Sherlock muttered in his heart.
But with him However, he is interested in this kind of problem.
“I have another one."The question," Sherlock asked again, "if the Saint Ningbo incident is exposed, will it have a negative impact on the successor to the pope?"
"It can be said that the controversy will be very large. "
Cardinal Matilda nodded, "Especially, the recent Controlled Fire movement. "
"Controlled Fire"
Shylock has never heard of this name at all.
"Light and fire are the sacred symbols of the Theocracy, and Compared with light, flame is undoubtedly more dangerous. And its danger comes from its freedom. ”
The person who answered was not Cardinal Matilda, but Aiwass. “Controlled fire refers to the control of flames that can produce light but also burn humans.” . "
He said, pointing to the flame lamp on the table.
The flame stored in the glass is the same flame that did not shake before "as if it were just a picture." This is controlled fire. It itself was replaced nationwide by the Controlled Fire organization when the Controlled Fire movement was launched. A safer, cooler fire. It will not be hurt even if touched by children. ”
“You quite understand. "
Cardinal Matilda was a little surprised, "Everyone knows this kind of thing. "
Aiwass nodded modestly, "After all, it has been more than ten years. ”
This is not something that is taught in the seminaries of advanced intelligence schools in the game. This is also an example of the rule in Avalon that it is not allowed to light fires at will in the church.
Lighting the real flame has a sacred meaning, but it is different if it is just summoning the virtual fire.
"It has been more than ten years. "
Hearing this, Cardinal Matilda sighed a little, "I feel like it was last month. ”
“It sounds like it’s just an organization calling for the replacement of light sources. "
Sherlock asked, "Do they have any other claims?"
"Yes. "
Cardinal Matilda nodded seriously, "That's what we just talked about, about inheritors and professionals. They have more radical claims about this. "
Sherlock responded, "They hope that all elves will become professionals."
"That's right. "
"Why?"
"It's simple," Cardinal Matilda replied, "because of Ningpa. "
"Ningpo"
"That's right. Controlled Fire was initially formed because Cardinal Loki collected data from an investigative report.
“Data shows that the number of Ningpa of inheritors is much greater than that of professionals, not by a few percent, but by more than ten times. In the past one hundred years, the number of Ningpa of inheritors has The proportion accounts for 96 of all elves."
"Isn't this right?"
Sherlock intuitively realized that there was something wrong with this report without Aiwass opening his mouth. "Didn't you just say, Are the number and status of inheritors greater than those of professionals?"
"This is also the original source of this report. Although the Theocracy advocates inheritors, after all, the profession has been born for thousands of years. There are still many elves who cannot get inheritance. In your words, professional elves are equivalent to Commoners. Because their parents do not know powerful extraordinary beings, they cannot give them a better inheritance.
“Originally, they could only become real civilians and be protected by extraordinary beings; or go deep into the dream themselves. world, take risks and find your own path. After the birth of the professional system, they will have the opportunity to become professionals.
"Just ten years ago, the ratio of existing elf professionals to inheritors in the church reached exactly 11. Cardinal Loki wanted to trace this phenomenon and investigate the differences between the two groups. The result But I accidentally discovered that the proportion of professional elves is much smaller."
"It's hard to say."
Aiwass shook his head, "It's possible. Self-selection bias."
"Self-selection bias"
Sherlock asked subconsciously.
But before Aiwass could answer, he reacted, "Oh, that's a good word to use."
"That's right. Elves who are willing to become professionals, whether they take the initiative Or they are passive, but generally speaking, their personal thoughts and families are relatively open, and there are not so many traditionalists. They are more active, more curious about the life of short-lived species, and are willing to be exposed to different lives and naturally condense. The ratio will be lower."
Aiwass also frowned slightly, "Although the number of 96 is a bit shocking."
"So Cardinal Loki thinks. , the professional system is not meaningless to the elves. Its effect on the soul is to infiltrate and solidify, and it can effectively prevent and even cure coagulation syndrome. Therefore, he took the lead in changing professions and formed other controlled fires. The members are also advanced people who are willing to accept this idea and try to innovate the elf tradition through the professional system."
Speaking of this, Cardinal Matilda subconsciously glanced at the body of Bishop Mercedes on the ground. .
"Sounds pretty good."
Sherlock commented.
"So I don't have any prejudice against them."
Matilda covered her forehead with some trouble, "But the only problem is that saints are not a profession. They must be young. Cultivate, accept complex educational inheritance, and choose the best one from dozens of people. Therefore, one of the claims of Controlled Fire is that the pope no longer chooses from saints because the existence of saints is equivalent to the theocracy. Encourage the inheritance system."
"But I remember that the cardinal can theoretically serve as the eternal pope."
Aiwass asked.
He remembered that the Theocracy had such a setting, but he was not sure if it was.
"It's just a theory."
Before Cardinal Matilda could answer, Sherlock's lips turned up sarcastically, "Just like the knights of the Round Table Hall, in theory." It’s the same as being able to decide on a bill by voting.”
"That's it. Theoretically, the pope is elected, but each cardinal manages a different ring and has very different ideas. No matter who is elected in the Cardinal Hall, he will be outvoted by other cardinals. No, only saints are the best choice."
Matilda obviously takes this for granted. "After all, saints have taken over the work of the pope a long time ago. They are actually the real popes. Becoming a pope is equivalent to stepping back. Becoming the leader of a new saint has been the way it has been in the Theocracy for thousands of years. No one says anything wrong."
"But now, this tradition is different. Conflict with controlled fire, isn't it?
Shylock replied.
He squinted at the corpse, "So, the suspect is Cardinal Loki
" Ha, it sounds very reasonable. He was the Cardinal who could open the door. He is also the leader of Controlled Fire and a radical. He wanted to get rid of the Saint, so he wanted to stimulate her to become coagulated. In this way, the Saint's coagulation syndrome would prove that his claim was correct. It is also conducive to his election as pope. After all, there was Saint Ningpa before him, so it is the practice for cardinals to be elected pope. It sounds very logical. "
At this point, Sherlock suddenly sneered and turned to look at Aiwass, "Aiwass, what do you think?"
"The logic is too complete. "
Aiwass shook his head, "So I don't really believe it. ”
“Then it depends on how you feel.” ”
Sherlock immediately gave up his conjecture, so quickly that Aiwass was even a little surprised. Do you believe my intuition so much?
But Aiwass did have evidence. , but this evidence cannot be said
Because Aiwass knew that the first cardinal to die in the chaos caused by the "Tree and Amber Disaster" was Cardinal Loki
A very classic pattern, the most suspected criminal died on the spot.
Aiwass looked at Sherlock and suddenly realized that it was because of you." Sherlock Holmes", this kind of plot will appear here
