Chapter 148 Oswald's departure
"...how did you do it?"

Oswald checked Julia's condition and confirmed that she was indeed healed and the phantom in her body disappeared, then he half-kneeled in front of Julia and exclaimed in a low voice: "This is simply a miracle .”

"I think everyone should have some little secrets that belong to him, don't they?"

Sitting in a wheelchair, Aiwass chuckled behind Oswald's back.

Oswald has lived in the human world for at least 500 years, and it is difficult for Aiwass to deceive him.

It's better to just say "I don't want to tell you" directly.Anyway, the final message was the same, so it was more friendly.

Surprisingly, Oswald was very satisfied with Aiwass' answer.

The old elf got up and put his hands behind his back.On his face as old as an ancient tree, there was a somewhat stiff but sincere smile.

It looks like a wolf with its mouth open.

"Of course, Master Aiwass. Everyone can have their own secrets."

Oswald nodded slightly, and sighed: "It's good that you have grown up. If the master is still alive, he should be very happy too."

"What did father do?"

Aiwass asked seriously: "He hasn't seen him for so long. I also heard something..."

"Not so good, right?"

The old elf answered.

Aiwass nodded: "I heard that my father may be in danger. But he didn't leave any contact information when he left, and I can't confirm whether this is true..."

On the side, Yulia hugged her puppet "Mr. Dade", tilted her hair and made a puzzled voice: "Dangerous?"

Oswald sighed slightly.

He avoided answering this question, but said to Aiwass: "Now you can take Miss Yulia to school.

"I think this should be something you have been waiting for for a long time."

"Indeed..."

Yulia replied softly.

But she asked with some concern, "What happened?"

Girls are very sharp and smart.Even if he lacks the corresponding life experience, he can realize what the old housekeeper Oswald is worried about at the moment just by being familiar with his family.

"Because I'm going on a long trip, Miss. Avalon may be chaotic during this period, and you should be safer living in the dormitory."

Oswald explained patiently.

"Are you going away too?"

Aiwass raised his eyebrows, and soon realized what he was going to do: "You want to find your father?"

"Yes."

Oswald replied honestly: "In fact, I received news of the master's death from official channels. But I don't believe it-I firmly believe that he is not dead."

"Do you have any way to contact?" Aiwass asked.

"Almost," Oswald nodded, "As the guardian of the Moriarty family, I can sense the approximate location of each 'Moriarty' at any time. If the distance is close enough, I can confirm The opponent's state."

In this way, he used this ability when he analyzed Yulia's body just now.

Aiwass suddenly realized.

Oswald obviously doesn't have much medical skills, nor does he have the ability to dedicate his way to healing.Otherwise, it would not be Aiwass' turn to treat Yulia.

But the old housekeeper only touched Yulia's forehead a little, and felt that the phantom in her body had indeed been eradicated.

This should also be the reason why Oswald was able to find him in time when Aiwass was taken to the alley to sacrifice.

"I sensed that the position of the master has been moving. Although it was very slow, he basically didn't stop for too long."

Oswald said in a deep voice: "Although it is also possible that the corpse is being transported... But there is even a way back. So I was thinking, could it be that the master has been imprisoned and is being transported? Or maybe , Professor, did he choose to feign death in order to expose some people, to investigate some things secretly?

"But in any case, I think the master is in danger at the moment. It is very likely that he will need my help now."

Having said that, Oswald looked at Yulia: "But at the same time, I must also protect you, which is also my duty.

"Master Edward doesn't need anyone to take care of him anymore. King's University of Law is the site of the great arbiter, and two-thirds of the descendants of the knight family gather here. There are many arbitrators who will patrol at night. Therefore, Master Aiwass, you There is no need to worry.

"But only Miss Yulia... She was an egg of phantom demon before, so she had to hide her identity. Therefore, she can't go to school with you, so she can only use her health as an excuse to stay behind closed doors every day."

Having said that, Oswald looked at Julia.

She sat beside her with her doll in her arms, her eyes wide open.There seemed to be light shining in her eyes, which was her excitement and anticipation.

As she wishes.

Oswald declared: "If I stay at home, I can indeed protect Miss Julia, because Miss Julia has nowhere to go. Only I can protect her.

"But since Miss Yulia is no longer the Phantom Egg and can go to other places, I must now fulfill another duty of mine—I'm very sorry, miss."

"Never mind, Mr. Oswald."

Yulia said seriously: "I also want to go to school with my brother!"

Aiwass thought of another thing, and asked aside: "Who are the people who know that Yulia is the egg of phantom demon?"

"Even if the master has been buying Hypnos decoction, no one has clear evidence that Miss Yulia is the egg of the phantom. So you can claim that she only has a strange disease and must use Hypnos Stomach, and has now been healed under the treatment of Bishop Mathers."

Oswald patiently taught Aiwass how to speak, although he would not need to teach Aiwass: "If someone asks why Miss Yulia has not come to school, you can say that she is withdrawn and unwilling to see you. People. This way, your secret will not be revealed."

"I'll pretend to be withdrawn!"

Yulia raised a hand and said seriously: "I will never reveal my brother's secret!"

Aiwass touched his chin.

That is to say, the fact that Yulia is very likely to be the egg of the phantom demon is known to almost everyone in the upper-level social circle of the kingdom.It's just that they chose to remain silent on this matter because of Professor Moriarty's relationship.

...strange, am I overlooking something?

Aiwass always felt that there was a little incongruity here.

If it is said that the adoptive father adopted him and Yulia because he had no biological children, so he needed an adopted son to inherit the family business...

So Yulia, as the phantom egg, theoretically, she would not live long.Why did Professor Moriarty adopt her?

However, the matter of Oswald's temporary departure... can be said to be both good and bad.

The advantage is that it is easier to attract those people from Lloyd's.Aiwass' suspended animation plan will also become stronger.

But in this case, Aiwass needs to find a stronger protector for Yulia.It is difficult for Edward alone to protect Yulia, and it is even difficult to take care of her daily life.

Unlike Aiwass, Lily can accompany Aiwass to school because of Aiwass' special physical condition.This was specially approved by Her Royal Highness the Princess.

However, Yulia obviously couldn't bring her personal maid with her.Her maid must remain at Moriarty Manor.

When Aiwass and Lily are both around, Lily can help take care of Yulia together.But when Aiwass suspended his death, Lily was going to accompany Aiwass in the suspended animation—that meant that Yulia would become a person.

Even if the security level in the school is good enough, Aiwass is still worried about her.

At this moment, the shadow of another person appeared in Aiwass' mind.

Princess Isabel.

She should help with this.

"Then when are you going to leave?"

Aiwass asked Oswald.

The old housekeeper replied: "If possible, the sooner the better."

"Then Yulia will go with us. In this case, we have to prepare to go back to school now."

Aiwass nodded, turned around and explained to Yulia: "There is no railway between the Red and White Queens, so Lily pushed me there before... Fortunately, the distance is not very far, and it takes about two minutes to walk. About an hour. Find a place to rest in the middle, and it will take about three hours to arrive..."

"On that point," added Oswald, "it might be less troublesome.

"The wheelchair you have now has been deformed due to the attack. Although it has been repaired later, it will look a little undignified. So I used your figure information to find a new wheelchair made by an elf craftsman I know. It has improved functionality and functionality. It also hides a miniature pistol for body protection inside, and has a built-in candlestick holy emblem that is convenient for performing magic.

"It has been placed in the Inspector's Office by me now. You can go directly to the Inspector's Office by car, and let Lily pick up the wheelchair and take you back to school. When you go home later, you can take the car back directly. There is a spare at home wheelchair."

"...I really trouble you."

Aiwass apologized: "But in fact, my body is recovering well, and I may be able to recover in half a month to a month."

The final exam will be in half a month, and it will also be the second promotion ceremony for Aiwass' dedication path.

Before that, Aiwass had to get rid of Lloyd's.In this way, Sherlock can escape from the state of suspended animation.

After being promoted, they will go to Haina's hometown together.It would definitely be inconvenient to use a wheelchair on country roads, deep mountains and old forests... so Aiwass would no longer be able to carry it.

It just so happened that Lily would follow Aiwass at that time, and the Shadow Demon could be stored in her shadow.Before the end of the winter vacation, Aiwass' path of transcendence can be advanced again - by then Aiwass will really get rid of the wheelchair.

In other words... the wheelchair made by Oswald can be used for less than a month after spending a lot of money.This is why Aiwass did not propose to change the wheelchair before.

Although the family is not short of money now, he still subconsciously thinks about saving as much as he can.

"If your legs and feet are good, it doesn't mean you can't sit. Those old people who are in wheelchairs may not be able to walk."

Oswald smiled and said: "Sitting in a wheelchair makes it easy for people to ignore your threat; a clergyman with bad legs, even if the rumors are very romantic, people will think he is an ascetic monk. Humans treat the strong There is always hostility. But if the strong are also weaker than them, it will easily turn into admiration."

Hearing this, Aiwass felt a little guilty subconsciously.

... He always felt that the old butler meant something.

And he might be referring to more than one thing.
