Pastor's Tantra

Although Shylock had sworn an oath himself, he promised that he would never marry. But that doesn't mean he doesn't understand feelings.

He looked at Aiwass and then at Isabel who was blushing, and he understood in his heart.

——My original feeling was indeed correct. Isabel really couldn't resist Aiwass's temptation...

Fortunately, Aiwass is a good guy. It's quite a good match.

Rather, looking back now - with the benefit of hindsight, there is no better young man of the right age than Aiwass in all of Avalon.

So Sherlock was silent for a while, and then said quietly: "Should I say congratulations?"

The implication is, when will you get engaged?

"Let's wait until I get back."

Aiwass said with a smile.

Sherlock narrowed his eyes, half sarcastically and half as a reminder: "Then please pay attention to safety on the road - according to the conventions of novels and dramas, when someone says such a thing, you may be in danger."

"You said it too soon, Sherlock."

Aiwas reached out and rubbed his head, and replied briskly: "You have to come with me too."

"ha--?"

Sherlock was in disbelief: "Why? I still have a lot of cases to solve!"

"Let Haina handle those cases. It's time for her to exercise."

Aiwass said rudely: "Are you letting Lily and I go? Who else can I take with me besides you?"

"...Can't you Edward?"

"He did go with me, but by boat on a mission to Iris."

"so troublesome……"

Sherlock complained softly, but quickly cheered up: "It's okay. I haven't been to the Theocracy yet, so I just have a lot of experience. And there also happens to be a case..."

As he spoke, he pulled out a letter from the satchel on his waist: "Look at this first, Aiwass."

"What's this?"

Aiwass asked casually and took the file.

At the same time, he also pushed the document in his arms to little Sherlock: "Just in time, don't waste time, come and take a look at this too - I originally planned to give it to you when I went to your house yesterday."

"A letter from the Theocracy...what is this?"

Sherlock frowned.

Looking at the "Top Secret" mark on the document, he was a little afraid to open it: "Is this something I can see?"

"I give you permission to read it. It's about my sister. I've already read it once. You may have memories of her, so help me read it and analyze it."

Aiwass replied casually and opened the letter: "But you may have heard of it... After all, it was your brother who helped me investigate."

"That's not true. Mycroft is very strict. He's not the type to discuss work with his family."

Sherlock defended his brother, then opened the file and looked at it carefully.

Isabel looked at the two of them standing there and started looking at things, and sighed helplessly. He took them to sit in the pavilion first, and then called the maid to bring them black tea and snacks.

As Aiwass looked at the letter, the more he read, the more he felt that the tone and story in the letter seemed familiar.

He read halfway through, then turned directly to the back and took a look at the name of the sender.

--as expected.

This is a letter sent from the Theocracy by a bard named "Yunus".

Yunus's popularity and reputation in Avalon are quite high.

He was a pretty good luthier, and a pretty good bard.

He traveled around the country carrying his own specially made guitar and earning money from performances. What he eats every day is very ordinary, which is common people's food, even almost beggar's food.

The clothes are also in tatters. At best it can only be called clean, and sometimes it gets lost. Travel-dusted like a wanderer.

And all his income will be distributed to the local poor before leaving a city. He never left any money with him, and wandered around the world with only food, sleeping bags, daggers, short bows and his own guitar.

As a third-level bard, he still has quite good combat effectiveness in the current version. Therefore, he would rely on his own strength to fight for justice alone - sometimes he would win, and he would compose his adventures into a song to show off his achievements.

But sometimes the car would overturn, but fortunately he was better at running, so he ran away successfully every time. This is also the reason why he always goes on adventures alone, and it is easier to run when he is on the run.

And if he encounters an enemy that he cannot defeat, he will also compose a bright and easy-to-sing tune for the opponent. Put information about the other party's evil deeds, abilities, location, number of people, etc. into the lyrics and spread them everywhere.

Then he died while singing.

——Because either a powerful person has listened to his song and went directly to the location mentioned in the lyrics when he had nothing to do; or the influence was too bad and public opinion was turbulent, alerting the Inspectorate, and was subsequently arrested. Avalon official investigation resolved.

But even the Inspectorate certainly doesn’t know the true identity of Yunus.

He is Prince Albert, Isabel's biological father. After his wife, brothers and sisters all died due to the curse, he left Isabel and fled the Palace of Silver and Tin.

He mastered illusions and changed his appearance. And the identity "Yunus" he uses now is indeed a real person - he is a poet friend of Prince Albert. When he first escaped from the glass island, they were the two of them who worked together to do justice and justice. of.

Later, they encountered a powerful enemy in the wild, and Yunus died while saving Albert. Albert, who was frustrated at the time, directly used illusions to change his appearance into the other person's. Imitate the other person's voice, tone and habits...as if the person who died at that time was Prince Albert, and the person who was alive was Yunus.

Although that enemy has been killed by "Yunus", he still has not changed back to his true identity.

"Yunus" didn't even return to the Glass Island to attend the funeral of his mother, Queen Sofia - he focused on playing Yunus, as if Albert was really dead.

After the queen died and Isabel succeeded to the throne, he suddenly stopped his activities in Avalon and went to the Theocracy.

An elf girl who was once rescued by him in Avalon.

Because she was grateful to him for saving her life, she left a token and invited him to visit her home.

As a result, when he actually went to the Theocracy, he learned that the girl had already died - even before she went to Avalon.

This is the most famous side mission in version 2.0, and Aiwass also ran it at the time.

"Yunus" appears in the main plot. He is very popular because he speaks likeable words and firmly stands on the protagonist's side. His reputation shop is also the only way for the bard profession to obtain a "guitar" sound instrument.

He even gave Isabel an Elf Harp as her early weapon.

This side quest reveals his past, the origin of the harp, and ultimately reveals that he is Isabel's father.

The most important thing is that after completing this side mission, you can get a replica of Isabel's harp, which can be used for transmogrification; and a follower pet named "Little Yunus".

This pet plays the guitar when idle, and can also switch songs on command. It can be said to be full of sincerity.

And it can also be used to screenshot emojis when taking photos with Isabelle.

Aha, your father is in my hands.jpg

Now the Cruel Autumn Incident is impossible to happen, and Avalon has not been destroyed.

Yunus, who originally went to The Theocracy when Avalon was destroyed, also went to The Theocracy a year in advance.

But even so, he still got the same answer.

——The girl named "Anastasia" is already dead. And she had never been to Avalon while alive.

But both the girl's personal information and the token she gave to Yunus were genuine. This seemed to prove that she had indeed been to Avalon and had indeed been in contact with Yunus.

Yunus felt that his thinking was a little confused, and he even doubted whether his experience was true.

But unlike the game line, this time he did not recklessly try to solve the matter on his own. Instead, he remained calm and did not act rashly... After collecting all the intelligence he could, he wrote a letter to "The Smartest in Avalon" Detective Sherlock" delivered the commission and enclosed the letter with a token.

It was a moon-white hairband with light blue elf inscriptions on it.

If you translate the above Elvish language, you will get its content: "Anastasia, I wish you well."

"Fox, what do you think?" Sherlock saw Aiwass reading the letter out of the corner of his eye and looked up at him seriously.

"……Um?"

Aiwass looked at Sherlock who was extremely serious and was a little confused for a moment: "It's quite interesting... but why are you interested in this?"

"Do you think this situation is similar to...'Swamp Man'?"

Sherlock asked seriously.

Aivas looked at him in surprise when he heard this.

He originally wanted to veto it because he didn't remember it in the plot - or in other words, the word "swampman" didn't exist in the game.

This is a word Aiwass made up based on the "Swampman Paradox" when he used it to describe the strange rituals in Eagle Point Village. Apart from Aiwass, only Sherlock knows it. At least Jacob certainly didn't care what his ritual was called.

But now that Aiwass thinks about it carefully...

——It doesn’t seem impossible?

Because in the game plot, the players did not find out what was going on in the end - Sherlock was not involved at the time, only Aiwass and Isabel, and they certainly did not know about the Swamp People, and as refugees, they did not Check information locally.

So in the end, I could only end it hastily, treating it as "the longing of the girl ghost". Later it became the story of Yunus and Isabel getting to know each other. This "girl ghost" seemed to have become a "chance" that brought him and Isabel into contact.

But maybe, there is some kind of secret behind this matter?

Avas was immediately interested.

And after this event is over, you can also get the best elf harp.

It's not only a pretty good extraordinary weapon, but it's also a top-quality instrument in its own right.

It could be given to Isabel as a birthday present——

——This commission comes at just the right time. Aiwass thought.

And no matter from any angle, Aiwass felt that he needed to meet "Yunus".

After all, he is Isabel's father...her future father-in-law.

"No matter what, you must be careful."

Isabel, who was painting Aiwass, saw that the two of them were interested and fighting, and suddenly looked up with some worry: "If it's too dangerous, give up."

Aiwass's adoptive father disappeared in the Theocracy.

Although it is the territory of the Eternal Pope, it does not seem that safe...

But Aiwass suddenly said: "Speaking of which, Lulu..."

Hearing Aiwas calling Isabel so affectionately, Sherlock's brows couldn't help but twitch, showing a "subway old man's cell phone" expression.

But when he heard Aiwass's next words, Sherlock said "Huh?" in confusion:

"If I see Prince Albert in the Theocracy, do I need to bring you a message?"

"...Is Prince Albert also in the Theocracy?"

Sherlock was a little surprised and subconsciously analyzed: "It makes sense. I haven't heard from him for a long time. If he is in the Theocracy..."

——But why does Aiwass ask at this time?

Another possibility immediately appeared in Sherlock's mind.

Could it be that Yunus is actually...

When Isabel heard this, she fell silent. The expression on his face also became a little complicated.

"...May 22nd."

She suddenly said: "That is my birthday, and it is also the coronation day I have set. It is also possible..."

At this point, she glanced at Aiwass and said softly: "It will be our engagement day.

"He didn't come back the day my grandmother died, and he didn't come back on the state funeral. I hope he can come back that day - in my father's name. Otherwise..."

She swallowed back the remaining half of her words and did not finish them.

Isabel has a gentle personality and doesn't like to say words that are too hurtful; but she is also firm and stubborn, and it is difficult to change things she has decided.

"...It's the same whether you've seen him in the Theocracy or not. I've actually already thought about this in my mind."

she whispered.

The words should be harsh, but they sound sad: "If you don't want to come back... then don't come back."
