Pastor's Tantra

Chapter 513 Anna Kingsford

February 17, early morning.

Edward went to the Palace of Silver and Tin, said goodbye to Queen Isabel and Aiwass, and then headed to Lloyd's Quarter. Prepare to take a boat trip from Port Lloyd to Iris.

Aiwass, Lily, and Sherlock took their luggage and rode on the griffin, preparing to fly to Midsummer County on the westernmost side of Avalon. Prepare to take the regular ferry to The Theocracy from here.

Of course, it is not impossible to let the griffon fly them directly to their destination. But that's a bit rude - after all, the gryphon is more or less the top unit of Avalon, and rounding it off is equivalent to taking an armed helicopter directly.

Edward went on a mission to Iris, while Aiwass went to the Theocracy to study abroad and express his gratitude. Considering that Avalon is still at war, it would be better for them to keep a low profile regarding their actions towards friendly countries.

And taking the Griffin is definitely not as comfortable as the ferry.

But even so, the news that Minister Moriarty was about to go to the Theocracy soon spread.

It's not that Avalon's reporters have any unique access to news. This is what Aiwass deliberately spread... through Dimit, the editor-in-chief who supported him with one hand. Now that Aiwass is gone, if Avalon still hides a group of people with ulterior motives, they can be directly deceived by this news.

They don't know how long Aiwass will stay in the Theocracy - this is called time and waiting.

Although Aiwass has already used this trick once, it is a good trick that does not worry about aging. As long as it is used properly, humans have no memory.

On the ferry, Aiwass, wearing a priest's robe, looked at the sparkling water in the distance and fell into deep thought.

During the chat last night, Isabel told Aiwass all the secrets she got from the promotion ceremony.

Professor Moriarty certainly could not obtain information directly from the promotion ceremony...but the mysterious knowledge he told Isabel, Aiwass always felt that it was not entirely out of good intentions. Perhaps after Aiwass knows something, his actions will be biased in the direction expected by Professor Moriarty... This is not impossible.

...But from another perspective, this is indeed extremely precious information.

"Cicada Slough", "Endless Knot", "Reincarnation Tiansi"...these are things that Aiwass doesn't know. And they can corroborate with the few impressions that Aiwass already knew and still had.

The incident of [Cicada Sloughing] was the first recorded change of owner of the Pillar God in history. Only the earliest intelligent races witnessed this event. This can be said to be the biggest secret in the world.

Compared with the two things [Forbidden Fruit] and [Kingdom], the most special thing about [Cicada Slough] is that it simultaneously replaces several pillar gods.

As far as what is known so far, Lord of Scale Feather, Amber, Weizhe, Beast Lord, and Supreme Sky all ascended to the position of Pillar God from that incident. And from the secrets that Aiwass vaguely knew, the snake father and hourglass were also closely related to this matter, and they were kept secret...

The only people who can be sure that it has nothing to do with [Cicada Slough] are the two pillar gods Si Zhu and Twin Mirrors who have existed since the most ancient past.

Nowadays, only a few immortal species such as giant dragons remember the secret of [Cicada Slough]. Even the Great Library of the Theocratic State did not say much about this matter.

Some say it was a war for unity, while others say it was a sacrifice for division. But perhaps the original war was about sacrifice, and the cup was filled with the blood of the enemy.

——Professor Moriarty is actually trying to contact [Cicada Slough], and has already learned the knowledge of "Endless Knot". Could it be that what he is pursuing is the "Endless Knot" and other secret treasures?

"What are you thinking about?"

At this moment, Sherlock walked up to Aiwass with a stinky face.

He reached out and pressed his elbow on Aiwass's shoulder.

Aiwass pushed his elbow down angrily, and Sherlock carefully put his elbow on the other shoulder.

"I was thinking, you are really petty."

Aiwass complained.

"I assume you're at least not thinking about Her Majesty."

Sherlock raised his eyebrows: "Really, Xiangrui?"

"...Don't you call me Hu Mei Luo Lord this time?"

"You said it yourself. Fox is a kind of auspiciousness - aren't you happy to call me "you" like that?"

Aiwass smacked his lips and pinched the back of Sherlock's neck with his backhand.

He said with a smile, then pinched his neck: "Your shoulders are quite tired, let me help you heal them."

Although the first blow was extremely heavy and made him scream in pain. But then Aiwass was really massaging Sherlock, so Sherlock squatted down directly, holding on to the railing on the deck.

"I guess," Sherlock said suddenly, "you are worried about the future."

"Part of it."

Aiwass smiled.

There is also a part of the past - the past before the birth of man.

Sherlock suddenly asked: "Thinking about the professor?"

Aiwass was a little surprised and looked at Sherlock: "How did you guess it?"

And he quickly responded: "Isabel asked you, right?"

Depending on how careful Isabel is, she will definitely notice that she is wary of the professor. It was impossible for her to tell herself exactly what the professor told her. She would definitely ask a mutual friend who was trustworthy and could definitely keep secrets.

Then it can only be Sherlock.

"What I'm telling your Majesty is, speak your mind. For smart people, difficulties are easier to resolve than misunderstandings."

Sherlock did not look up at Aiwass. He was still squatting on the ground, holding on to the railing with both hands. Looking at the sea in the distance with an action like "tears behind bars", he said lazily: "Instead of letting you guess what she is hiding, it is better to tell the truth and then study and analyze it."

"Then what did you analyze?"

"Part of it."

Sherlock showed a reserved smile and gave an answer that surprised Aiwass.

This time Aiwass was really surprised.

With Sherlock's character, if he just researched a little something, he would not tell Aiwass. When he says "a little", it means he has found out a lot.

This is only one day!

Or……

"——Have you been doubting my father before?"

"I told Edward a long time ago. He almost killed me."

Sherlock said quietly: "Of course, those things have been given to Edward for destruction. It is impossible for me to deceive him and deliberately leave a backup that may be used to attack him after being found."

As he spoke, he turned his head proudly and reached out to knock his head: "But do I need those things? No, not at all.

"The documents I read once have been engraved in my mind. The evidence and documents were indeed destroyed, but I remember every sentence and every punctuation.

"After getting the information from His Majesty, I went back to sort it out...and I found something."

Looking at the triumphant Sherlock, Aiwass suddenly understood why he disappeared from the "empty house".

He became interested and really dared to check anything!

Although he wanted to criticize his risky behavior, Aiwass cleverly kept silent - it would be bad if Sherlock was angry and did not tell him the results of his investigation.

In short, let’s trick things out first and then criticize.

"So," Aiwass asked with interest, "What did you find out?"

"A very crucial point."

Sherlock did not show off, but replied quickly: "Your sister, Freya Moriarty - she is actually Professor Moriarty's biological daughter... Well, look at you Do you already know the reaction?"

"Indeed, what then?"

"Aren't you curious who her mother is?" Sherlock asked.

"...I'm actually a little bit curious about what I'm talking about."

Aiwass nodded and said from the heart.

For such a deep-minded and indifferent man, what kind of person can make him fall in love?

At least as far as Aiwass understood Professor Moriarty, there was simply no personal desire in that man.

"That's a witch from the realm of love. Her name is Anna Kingsford, and she's a star. Based on inaccurate information, I think she's a member of Rosicrucian."

Sherlock replied smoothly: "And she also has another identity...that is, the original founder of Avalon's civilian extraordinary organization [Golden Dawn].

"——Yes, that's the Golden Dawn where Jacob, Mathers, and Yeats lived."
