Pastor's Tantra

With the help of the old butler Oswald, they quickly packed the things Yulia wanted to bring.

This time is not just going to school, but essentially moving - Moriarty Manor will obviously not be safe enough until Oswald comes back. So under Aiwass's persuasion, Yulia brought everything she wanted to bring.

But unlike other eldest ladies of the same level, Yulia did not bring too many clothes and jewelry.

What really takes up space are her tool bags and material boxes. Aiwass didn't even let her bring many of those books. The library at Wangli University of Law was the largest library in Avalon. Even Professor Moriarty's private collection is not as good as the restricted books in the university library.

Yulia only brought a few more advanced special research books in the field of alchemy, and a few reading notes related to university knowledge.

Fortunately, when Yulia was studying, she organized them into categories. She easily found the notes she had taken while studying college knowledge on her own - she had brought all the notes from her freshman year to her junior year, including ten thick volumes. It was taller than her calves.

In order to help Yulia "move", Oswald also came with her.

After recovering from health, Yulia was visibly full of energy, or rather excited - like a primary school student before a spring outing, chattering non-stop in the car.

The only difference was that Yulia's noise was quite valuable - she and Aiwass talked about the world of dreams, astrology, and tarot in one breath, starting from extraordinary career planning and promotion ceremonies, and she regretted not bringing the astronomical telescope with them. Then we talked about elixirs and plant breeding from alchemy, as well as Avalon's land policy and economic taxation.

That is to say, Aiwass is knowledgeable enough to follow Yulia's topic.

She had almost no social experience - all her knowledge came from books and newspapers. But she had seen enough and had a good enough memory that she was almost a search engine.

Yulia can even remember the day when Aiwass first appeared in the newspaper and what was said in the newspaper that day - Aiwass himself had forgotten what the report was about. Anyway, he basically talked nonsense that day...because he didn't expect that he would be stopped by a reporter from the "Glass Steps Newspaper".

The girl's cuteness brought a rare smile to the old housekeeper's face as old as an ancient tree.

In order to get a wheelchair for Aiwass, they first went to the Inspectorate of Red Queen. It's very close to Wangli Law University, just on the same street.

The wheelchair was placed directly in Edward's office. Aiwass and Yulia were waiting in the car to chat, while Lily followed Oswald to the Inspectorate.

This is Lily's first time entering the Inspectorate.

When she got the tantra book before, she went to the Inspectorate in White Queen District. It was already evening, but the Supervisory Bureau was still very busy - supervisors wearing half-armor were walking around, and from time to time someone would go to the Griffin Terrace at the back door of the Supervisory Bureau and leave on a griffin.

There are also people who are flipping through a lot of documents, calculating something, or calling their colleagues from a distance, and then discussing something that Lily can't understand at all.

Before that, Lily's impression of the Supervision Bureau was that it was "the one responsible for arresting people." But then, she finally realized that they were also responsible for collecting taxes—even tax problems were more difficult to solve than security problems. The Supervision Bureau gives the impression of being busy... almost everyone has either a frown or a serious face.

At that time, Lily was even worried that she would block someone's way and kept walking aside. She looked so aggrieved. She didn't look like she was here to receive a reward at all, but more like a prisoner arrested by Haina.

But the atmosphere of the Inspectorate is completely different from that of the Inspectorate.

Generally speaking, the feeling here is "cold".

It's only half past three in the afternoon, and I haven't gotten off work at all. But the spacious corridor was empty.

The mirror-like clean floor reflected the shadows of the old housekeeper and Lily, and their footsteps echoed in the corridor. There is a slight sense of terror.

"...Mr. Oswald."

Lily whispered: "Why is there no one here? Are they not at work?"

"If the Inspectorate is as busy as the Supervisory Bureau, something big will happen."

The old butler clasped his hands behind his back and said calmly without looking back: "The work of the Inspectorate is to examine whether knights and officials are loyal, morally deficient, and whether they have accepted bribes or betrayed the queen. Then there is the monitoring of spies from other countries... and infiltration. Other countries become spies.

"There are so many rooms here, and each room may be undergoing examinations and interrogations, or they may all be empty. For those businessmen, an increase or decrease in the number of officials being examined can become a factor in their decision to buy or sell stocks. Intelligence. 'Is anyone being scrutinized?' The matter itself is a secret.

"For this reason, every room in the Inspectorate is equipped with soundproofing. When the door is closed, you can only hear the sound if you knock on the door."

The old housekeeper saw that Aiwass valued Lily very much, so he was trying to impart some experience to her. It just so happened that he actually liked this very sensible and motivated human girl...at least she was much better than Haina.

He stopped, pointed to a door and said, "This is Master Edward's office, remember?"

"remember."

Lily nodded and replied, "I can come here to find Master Edward."

"right."

Oswald replied simply.

He knocked on the door, and the inside and outside suddenly connected - it was like the blocked ears suddenly became clear, and Lily clearly heard the voice inside and suddenly paused. It seems like there's more than one person.

"Is there something urgent?"

Edward's cold voice sounded: "I'm dealing with some business. There are chairs at the door."

The implication is that if there is nothing urgent, just wait outside.

"It's me, Master Edward."

Oswald's voice sounded.

After a while, Edward opened the door.

He looked quite serious, but became more relaxed after seeing Oswald.

"Coming to get the wheelchair, Mr. Oswald?"

Edward asked.

Oswald nodded and looked into the room. I saw two people besides him in Edward's office.

One of them is a blonde woman in red who looks to be in her thirties, but is still mature and charming.

The other person is an old elf with a rare Chinese character face.

"I had some happy news to tell you, but you have guests here and it's not convenient."

Oswald said slowly: "Please remember to go home tonight."

"I try my best."

Edward nodded.

He turned back to the woman and ordered: "Go and do it, Mrs. Hong."

"You always leave me with such offensive work, my dear Lord Inspector... There are not many good people in Lloyd's."

Mrs. Hong complained, but did not refuse: "That's okay, I'm destined to be a coolie. However, if I disappear for no apparent reason on the way back, you must remember me next year."

"I remember you every year, go ahead and do it." Edward said ruthlessly.

The moment she passed by Lily, Lily suddenly felt as if time had slowed down.

Her perception suddenly became sharper - she always felt as if she had seen this person before.

……red?

Could it be...

Lily thought of the red lady of the path of love in the promotion ceremony. Although Lily did not meet her during the ceremony, Lily listened to her chatting with others for more than an hour as the "grey robe man" in the waiting hall.

Although the voice changed slightly, Lily was deeply impressed by the low and lazy voice.

When Lily looked at Madam Hong, Madam Hong also sensed Lily's gaze.

But she didn't care and just smiled kindly at Lily.

And this old elf...

Lily always felt like she had seen him before somewhere.

"Long time no see, Diomedes."

It turned out that Oswald spoke first and said hello.

"It's been a long time indeed."

The old elf known as Diomedes nodded to Oswald and showed a rare smile: "We haven't seen each other for almost thirty years, right?"

"Indeed. The last time we met was before I adopted Master Edward."

Oswald also felt a little nostalgic.

He smiled and said: "I plan to go back to the Theocracy. Do you need me to bring you a few words or bring back any specialties?"

"Can you let go of the two of you?"

Diomedes raised his eyebrows and asked.

Edward also looked over after hearing this, frowning slightly with a worried look on his face.

The old housekeeper shook his head slightly at Edward, indicating that he would go home before talking.

"If anything, bring some rose gold brew."

Diomedes chuckled and said, "I kind of want to drink wine from my hometown."

"It seems that you have nothing to say to me, old man. Just die quietly in a foreign country."

Oswald smiled: "I plan to meet His Majesty the Pope."

The Chinese-character-faced elf also hit back: "Same goes for you, you old guy who's about to die... just don't say bad things about me."

Even by human standards, these two people are already at least seventy or eighty years old. If we calculate the lifespan of elves, they may have lived four to five hundred years.

If you don't use any power of the Tao to extend your life, even the elves who are immortals will only have a life span of five hundred years.

If you live longer, you will be considered a member of Amber.

Oswald also introduced to Lily: "This is Diomedes, the guardian of the Drost family. He and I are old friends. Before being sent to Avalon, we were all in the same batch. Selected Pope's Guards.

"He was the one who introduced you to the Moriarty family back then."

"...Ah, I still remember this lady."

Seeing Lily, Diomedes looked a little serious: "We met more than ten years ago."

"Thank you, Mr. Diomedes."

Lily bowed sincerely and thanked her.

——It turns out that this is the benefactor!

Without this old elf, it would have been difficult for her to enter the Moriarty family and she would not have met Aiwass again.

But Diomedes looked at Lily with a somewhat complicated expression.

He was silent for a long time and stopped talking.

He just sighed and whispered: "Be safe during this time, kid."

Hearing this, Oswald narrowed his eyes slightly and patted Lily's shoulder gently.

"I know what you mean, old man."

The old housekeeper narrowed his eyes and said.
