Chapter 112 Moriarty's Death
After Lawyer York made black tea, he took off his suit jacket.Wearing only a tan checked thick shirt underneath.

He didn't look like a lawyer at the moment, much less an executive at Lloyd's.It's kind of like an uncle next door.

After serving the tea, York sat opposite Aiwass.

He crossed his fingers, put them on his chest, and said in a low voice: "But actually, I don't think that Prince Lloyd is the so-called 'disgrace to the royal family' - he doesn't necessarily regard himself as a part of the royal family. I prefer him to be a hero. A hero who shakes authority and kingship.

"The path of authority is like a shackle. No one who walks this path can disobey the orders of the higher-ups. It is strict and cruel, like an ant nest and a hive. The knights can't do this, but they don't necessarily want to do it.

"No one wants to be a slave to the power of the way. The Silver Crowned Dragon tells you to be loyal, disciplined, follow the rules, and obey the rules, but do we really have to be like this?"

Lawyer York said in a low voice: "Have you ever thought about how Prince Lloyd, who was born in a civil society, kept Lloyd's from being eaten by the royal family?"

Aiwass raised his eyebrows and remained silent.

He vaguely guessed what Lawyer York wanted to do.So he didn't speak, but showed a little doubt and curiosity on his face.

"It's very simple. Because the existence of Lloyd's is the common will of the knights in the round table hall; it is a symbol of the word businessman, and countless people maintain Lloyd's."

Lawyer York spoke slowly, whispering an unknown secret: "To this day, more than [-]% of the knight families in the Round Table Hall have at least one direct member who has secretly joined Lloyd's. We share secrets, and secrets are a sharp edge.

"Do you think the Crown doesn't know about it? No, they do, but they can't help it. Lloyd's thrived on the Crown's share of power, but the Crown can no longer take that power back - because times change and we move forward."

"...Why are you telling me these things?"

Aiwass was silent for a while, and then asked hesitantly.

Lawyer York slowly extended his left arm toward Aiwass, palm up.

At the next moment, his pupils suddenly overflowed with amethyst-like pure brilliance.And the skin on his forearm was wrinkled and raised, wriggling like a snake.

The next moment, four pure black headless and scaleless snakes suddenly emerged from under the skin of his wrist——

It was a snake-like monster as thick as a finger.It has no head, only a hole in the front, which is densely packed with sharp teeth.Like a snake with its head severed, or a leech with its mouth wide open.

The monster raised its head and swayed in the wind like an unconscious vine.

Lily was immediately shocked, and she was about to step forward as soon as her eyes were solemn.But Aiwass immediately shook his head to signal her to back away, so the silent maid continued to stand firmly behind Aiwass.

But her expression was unprecedentedly serious, and dark green spider web cracks appeared on the backs of her hands, faintly glowing.

Lawyer York just smiled gently, looked at Aiwass and said slowly: "Do you know how Prince Lloyd got His Majesty Marlena's heart back then?

"Because he is also a talented poet. There are a few lines in the poems he once wrote:
"—One day I shall break free from these leaden shackles;

"I will ascend with the smoke, free as the wind;
"I will have a shining day, shining like a star, shining like moonlight..."

Before Lawyer York finished speaking, a dialog box popped up in front of Aiwass:

[York Hermes is teaching you "Breaking the Covenant", do you want to pay 48 public experience to master this mysterious skill? 】

The art of breaching the covenant is a mysterious skill that transcends the path, especially emphasizing the transcendence of the path of authority.A cunning technique for breaking oaths, breaking shackles, and being tracked, by those who have made promises and decided not to.

no.Aiwass replied in his heart without hesitation.

This skill is of little significance, but if you learn it, it may pollute Aiwass' ability pool.It is possible for different mysterious skills to conflict with each other... Aiwass can't take risks without washing some medicine.

Moreover, these 48 points are too expensive—this is just a common-level mysterious skill, but it requires so much experience.You didn't understand it yourself, did you?

You won't just memorize this paragraph, will you?

Aiwass groaned.

But York's lawyer's actions have vindicated his position.So the meekness and confusion on Aiwass' face disappeared without a trace, and became calm and low, as if it was just a performance before.

"...The peeling demon?"

Aiwass asked back.

This is a kind of unpopular familiar, and its rank is not as high as that of a lower-level demon or a demon dog.Imps that can be created by demonologists.It is not very aggressive, and is usually used to torture or torture others-the size and thickness of the flayer can vary, which allows it to burrow into or envelop any part of the human body.

And as it squirms, those sharp, stinging teeth inject a weak poison.These sharp teeth are easily broken inside the human body, like cactus thorns are difficult to pull out.It will bring intense and lasting pain to people, and it is easy to damage the dignity of others.

Can covertly hide a large number of familiars in his body without being discovered by others...

This is a unique characteristic of the fourth energy level demon sender.

Not a demon scholar, but an advanced profession of a devil.

The biggest difference between a devil and a demon scholar is that the devil is almost completely integrated with his companion demon, and it is difficult to separate.If you want to advance to a demon, you must first have an egg of phantom - but the phantom in the egg is a demon with a dark attribute.

Before they became superhumans, they were said to be "demon possessed".Compared with phantoms of other attributes, demons like to manipulate the host's body very much, and are more likely to injure or even kill others when they lose control.And if they are persuaded by the demons in their bodies and enter the path of transcendence, they can reach a consensus with the phantoms in their bodies and enter a state of companionship.

Because of this, the Majin cannot summon other demons.They are also unable to study rituals and the knowledge of controlling demons, because the demons in their bodies will prevent them from mastering the power that threatens them, and the interference of dark attribute mana on the brain will reduce their intelligence.

But if the demon can withstand the oppression of the demon, maintain rationality and advance to the demon sender, the positions of the two sides will immediately exchange.

The demon sender has completed the transcendence of the "demon".The Majin no longer sporadically loses control, and the Demon no longer has the ability to manipulate his body.The demon sender can accommodate more demons, and can carry a large number of demons at the demon level in the body.As the level increases, it can even further accommodate the second and third demons.

"—You are a demon sender, right?"

Aiwass said incredulously.

Hearing this, Lawyer York opened his eyes wide in surprise.

He withdrew his left hand, and the stripper in his cuff was taken back by him.

"I am amazed at your demonology, Aiwass."

Lawyer York sighed: "Among all the fellows I have met, you are the only one who can recognize the demon sender at the first energy level."

"So that's why you called me away suddenly?"

Aiwass raised his brows: "Because you recognized that I am also an extraordinary person who transcends the path."

"Under the influence of authority, we transcenders should help each other."

Lawyer York smiled and said very naturally: "Because we are the same kind of people, let me take you to find an organization.

"Of course, there is another reason besides this..."

He said, pointing to Aiwass' left pocket: "If you have a higher authority, you can also sense that."

Aiwass reached into his pocket and touched it.It suddenly dawned on me.

——That is the "Noble Red" ring.

"Of course, don't worry."

York hurriedly lowered his hands, and explained with a smile: "I know that your ring should be obtained from Veronica. But we are not interested in asking about this kind of thing here-you are also a fellow who transcends the path, right? You were led by them, and you can be regarded as a new member they recruited. It is normal and completely fine for new members to kill old members and get tokens from old members. You just take it.

"You hold it, and you are also a member of the Noble Red Society. That's what I said."

"……I see."

Aiwass finally understood.

It's not that Lloyd's and the Noble Red Society have reached an agreement... It's that the top management of these two organizations overlap in a sense!

"You said that more than [-]% of the Cavaliers joined Lloyd's."

Aiwass was silent for a while, then suddenly said: "Then does this include 'Moriarty'?"

Hearing this, the corners of York's mouth rose slightly.

The middle-aged man with deep wrinkles on his face showed a faint smile: "What do you think?"

"Let's end this charade."

Sitting in a wheelchair, the platinum-haired youth whispered.

Even though his status and ability were lower than that of the middle-aged man in front of him, he didn't show any respect for him.Aiwass stretched out his right hand to York, and his palm slowly cracked.A deep purple light is shining in Aiwass' palm - this is a symbol of his state of mind at the moment resonating with the transcendent path, and it is also an unfriendly gesture.

It's like pulling out a knife slightly, or pressing your hand on the holster of a gun.Not necessarily threatening, but showing an attitude.

For those of other paths, this may be an offense.But only for the path of transcendence, this is a confirmation of determination, which means the recognition and practice of the path of transcendence.

Lawyer York smiled with satisfaction, and replied straightforwardly: "Yes. Professor James Moriarty is of course also a member of our Lloyd's."

"After all, he is a businessman, and he is one of the few big businessmen in Glass Island. How could he refuse our invitation? But he is not a fellow beyond the path, so he did not join the Noble Red Society."

"In that case, with my father here... It seems that you don't need to invite me anymore, right?"

Aiwass said unceremoniously: "Because the Moriarty family has already stood with you."

York is clearly trying to recruit himself.

Even though he didn't say a single word, his wishes were clearly conveyed.

——The suspected leak of information really put a lot of pressure on him.York desperately hopes that Aiwass can join Lloyd's, preferably before the "vice president" arrives.

"In that case, let me tell you something in advance."

Lawyer York smiled triumphantly: "This is exactly the meaning of our Lloyd's existence——

"According to reliable information, Professor Moriarty disappeared two days ago. Although no body was found, bloody clothes were found. The result of divination is that James Moriarty is dead.

"If there is no accident, the news of his death will be sent back to Avalon in a week."

The middle-aged lawyer, also surnamed Hermes, showed a kind smile that made Aiwass annoyed: "This is not a threat, but a suggestion. After all, neither you nor Chief Inspector Edward are his real children... and Mr. James died too suddenly, and he has not left a will yet.

"That is to say, your inheritance will encounter resistance. But it's also good for you to join Lloyd's...Compared with your adoptive father, we prefer you, a fellow who walks on the path of transcendence."

--what?

Aiwass almost laughed out loud.

You mean, James Moriarty is dead?
Haha, I don't believe a word of it.

...Of course, the information itself may be true.But Professor Moriarty is not so easy to die, and the result of divination may not be accurate.This is [-]% fake death, just to get out of the situation in Avalon.

——That mysterious guy, but the final boss of version 6.0, how could he die in such a corner that no one knows about?

However, even if he knew it was a fake death, there might be many other people who knew it.But even just being "James Moriarty" dies on a social level...

It also means that the situation in Avalon is about to become unstoppably turbulent.

　The update is complete meow!
