Sherlock Holmes

As the oldest building in London, the British Library is also a gathering place for countless books and knowledge, making it almost a landmark of the city.

Therefore, the nearby ‘Auckland Cathedral’ appears to be particularly unattractive.

It is located behind the British Library. Instead of being back-to-back, compared with the library, the church is surrounded by the few green plants on the block, and there is even a small area on the back. garden.

The doctrine preached by this church is the connection between human beings and nature. This chapter exists in Chapter 11, Section 37 of the Gospel of the Holy Light, which advocates the prosperity of vegetation, clear rivers, clear skies, and care for the environment and life.

However, with the crazy development of the steam revolution and the baptism of the invasion of demons, it is really difficult to implement the teachings of this chapter. Therefore, there are not many permanent believers in this church. Every Sunday, there are only a few Ten people came here to recite their condolences, which seemed a bit deserted.

In the northwest corner of the church, in the corner surrounded by gardens, there is a very clean small villa. If you want to get here, you can only go through a path beside the clear grass wall, and almost no one will notice it. Naturally, No one will bother you.

"Mr. Moriarty, the dispatched people have already visited 13 previous administrators of the British Library and three directors." The tall girl in a maid outfit bowed slightly and reported calmly to the man at the window. Said: "I am sure that the book you are looking for is hidden in the used book area of ​​the library. I have asked someone to contact the chief designer who participated in the expansion in the past few years. As long as I get the floor plan, I can know where the book is. Where, at the latest and no later than tonight.”

The young man looking out the window didn't say much, but continued to look at the dense green plants and the bunches of white wild flowers dotted throughout.

The Diocese of the Holy See is located in a place called ‘Jerusalem’. It is said that before the start of the Holy Calendar, it was the holy land of a certain sect. Therefore, after the great integration of religions, it has naturally become the most sacred place in the world today.

There are the most beautiful scenery in the world. On the road leading to each pilgrimage church, there are the brightest sunflowers and the most vivid grass. Even the height of every blade of grass is carefully trimmed. With the support of the priest, the place can be shrouded in light 24 hours a day. When you raise your head, you can see the golden divine light bathing everyone's body. Pious people will not be able to hold back tears when they step into that land. With his face full, he recited the most sincere prayers, and these voices gathered into an uninterrupted melody that echoed in the sky over Jerusalem.

However, after seeing too much of it, I felt a little tired of it. On the contrary, it was more comfortable to look at the few bunches of wild flowers in this small garden.

"Thank you for your hard work." A peaceful smile appeared on Moriarty's face, and it seemed that he suddenly became gentle and close. The maid in front of him slowly lowered his eyes, not daring to look at her.

This girl's name is Sebastian Moran, an orphan. During a sacred ceremony in the Holy See, in order to beg, she accidentally fell into the long street where the carriage and the Guardian Knights were walking. This kind of Of course disrespect will be punished severely, but she was lucky enough to be pardoned by His Royal Highness the Son, who was only 11 years old at the time.

It’s a very clichéd story. Maybe His Royal Highness the Son was just in a good mood at that time, or he felt that this could show the kindness of the Holy See, or he was just tired of the guards’ shouting and scolding.

But some people on the festival team didn't think so.

As a result, the young Moran was brought back to the Holy Parish, dressed up, put on expensive clothes that he could not even imagine in his life, and was brought before His Royal Highness the Holy Son, who was also young.

No one knows what the person who did this was thinking, and no one knows what happened to the person who made the decision, and no one knows what Moran went through after that.

In short, when she appeared again, she had become a maid beside the Holy Son, responsible for the master's daily life, and would never have another identity until her death.

At this time, Moran saw his master nodded, hesitated, and said softly:

"Actually, I don't understand. Since Lord Dante doesn't want that picture book to be circulated in the world, why should he hide it in the library?"

Moriarty turned around, his glowing white glasses making his face even paler: "Actually, I didn't understand it at first, but it wasn't until I saw the library a few days ago that I had some vague understanding. .

A piece of knowledge sometimes does not simply belong to a certain person. From the moment it is discovered, it already belongs to the entire human race. Therefore, no matter how hard the hell picture scroll is unwilling to be made public, no one has the right to make it public. Unauthorized destruction.

This is true even if that person is the only pioneer, the only witness to this knowledge, even if that person is the only person who has been to hell.

Of course, there is another possibility.

Master Dante may just feel that his painting skills are too poor, so he is embarrassed to publish it, that's all. "

Moran felt a little relieved when she listened to her master's joking tone. Although the young man in front of her never shared his true thoughts with others, she knew that from the day he was born, he had been given a lifetime of freedom. My beloved, what kind of helplessness is this.

Even if this true love is a blessing from the Holy Light, even if that woman must be the master's favorite type, even if this love must be blessed by everyone, even if there are 110,000 reasons for this man and woman to embrace each other, Even if the master searches the entire empire, he will eventually choose the same answer. But the master will still not like it.

You can choose your loved one, but others cannot give it to you!

If you give it, it’s an offense!

Fortunately, his master was joking after all. Even if he was pretending, it at least proved that he had such leisure.

"Let's have dinner earlier." The short man said calmly.

"Okay, Mr. Moriarty." The girl still didn't get used to the new name. She bowed respectfully and exited the room.

As the door closed softly, the surroundings fell into silence again, with only the clicking sound of precious incense wood burning in the fireplace.

Moriarty sat back on the sofa and stared at the blazing and warm sparks in front of him.

He knew that the book he was looking for was called "The Divine Comedy". Dante had mentioned it in a chat with the Pope more than thirty years ago. After that, the name was recorded in the most confidential documents of the Holy See. , few people are qualified to read it.

At the same time, he also knew the reason why this picture book was not made public.

Not only because of the weight of his knowledge, but also because of Master Dante's awkward lack of confidence in his own painting skills.

It was because that picture book was tainted with the aura of the evil god of hell.

Even the most pious Archbishops of the Temple, or those who have reached the third level of contractors, or even the servants of God who are closest to the Holy Light, cannot look at it for more than ten seconds. If a mortal dares to take a look at the drawing even for a moment, , you will fall directly into the never-ending madness.

And when I think about it, I have to read the most terrifying book in the entire empire, and even in the history of mankind, tonight.

Moriarty's face finally showed a real smile that he hadn't seen in a long time.
