But who would willingly be Edwina's substitute, Violet? No, no, she has become a husband and wife with Huston, as long as she is not a person with a bad brain, she will not leave a good life behind, but she has to run to be a substitute for the dead, but maybe it is Sherlock's former contractor, that Nona Emerson, she is the daughter of Duke Dunlop of the Emerson family, and this duke is also the person who loves her the most besides her mother and brother, but since Dunlop died of illness, this daughter is like being sent from heaven to hell in an instant.

Her patriarchal mother, the Duchess of Daphne, held her brother Gibran up to the sky, and spoiled her like a baby, holding it in her hand for fear of falling off, and relegating the girl to the ground, and this love for the child was simply eccentric to the point of outrageousness, in a bitterly cold winter, this young girl washed clothes by the river, in this cold winter, which child does not enjoy the warmth at home, but this eccentric mother is a child, And it's a girl taking a shower alone in the cold weather.

That day, the girl accidentally fell into the ice cave, if he and Sherlock hadn't happened to pass by there to rescue each other, the girl would have frozen to death, no, maybe it wasn't a coincidence, maybe Sherlock had already foreseen it, yes, a demon contractor, a top god of law was unexpected, he gave the other party a puppet for signing the contract.

Nona will naturally want to repay the favor after getting rid of such a life, so she will naturally look for the person who helped her in secret, Sherlock also had the heart to keep Gibran just to see if Nona could kill her biological brother ruthlessly, so she naturally stayed, sure enough, Nona did not disappoint him, she had a lot of strength, raised the axe in her hand, and without the slightest hesitation, cut off the head of her brother Gibran, ending his life on the spot.

As mentioned earlier, Nona wants to repay the favor, and after she knows that the person who helped her avenge her is Sherlock, she is determined to follow her, and says: No matter what kind of orders and tasks the other party proposes, she will do it unconditionally.

Then this kind of thing is obvious, Nona naturally became Edwina's scapegoat under Sherlock's orders, no, this may be the two of them acting in front of Virgil and a few people, in fact, the virus in Sherlock's body has long been eliminated by the contract stone, although the black gentleman knows that even if Sherlock abolishes his right eye, it will not be affected in any way, but in order to repel the 600,000 knights of the Blood Wing Country, he did not hesitate to be blinded in his right eye, which is really incomprehensible.

The whole plan is very simple, Sherlock hid Edwina in advance, and finally used the contract with Nona to let her replace Edwina It just so happens that the two of them are still somewhat similar in appearance, the nobles of the Blood Wing Kingdom have not seen Edwina's appearance, because they will not pay attention to a human who is no threat to them, the young master took advantage of this and used the tanuki for the prince, so that the two of them could replace their roles, Nona killed Sherlock one after another in the past few days, so that those people thought that the other party had been controlled by Bersaano's scorpion spirit spell.

Then Nona's pretended Edvina took advantage of Sherlock's coma to say those insulting words in front of the black gentleman, making herself think that the other party had betrayed, and Sherlock happened to wake up when the other party said those words, and planned to drive Nona out of the mansion, so that Berzaano and Virgil would be more convinced that Nona had really betrayed Sherlock, and all the time was arranged in advance, and even he was deceived.

Nona went to report false news to Virgil again, the demon has no weakness at all, and Virgil is eager to avenge the hundreds of people and the six million giant scorpions in his country who were killed by Sherlock and Ian's troops, and he has long been unable to take care of this important point, although Bersaano is a magician, it is impossible to see six ways and listen to all directions, and on the day of the battle of the Northern Regions, he received false news from Nona, and was controlled by the scorpion spirit spell and was turned by Sherlock's ruthless Nona, It has completely won their trust.

Then it will be easier to give the other party an illusion that it is true and after the people of the Bloodwing Kingdom brought Virgil back, the poison in Virgil's body had already penetrated into the internal organs, and the wizard who had not waited for treatment died on the spot in front of everyone, and the black gentleman looked at Sherlock quietly, he and Edvina were used by the other party without knowing it to complete this plan, this scene full of lies.

The black gentleman had long realized that the other party had been using him, but ...... He was willing to be used, because the other party was his master, a master who was already bound to him, or perhaps the black gentleman had already gone beyond the ordinary master-servant relationship with Sherlock

After a long time, Sherlock picked up Edwina and looked at the black gentleman and said, "Let's go, go to the commander's mansion." ”

"Yes." The black gentleman put away his thoughts, calmly responded, looking at the other party's expression without the slightest guilt, Sherlock would not feel guilty about anyone at all, he could use everything he could in order to achieve his goal, even if it was himself who had been with him for more than ten years, he might be mercilessly deceiving, but what could he do, he couldn't do without the other party.

In the Commander's Mansion, Commander Bentham saw Sherlock and the Black Gentleman walking in, first puzzled, and then stunned after seeing Edvina in the other party's arms, and looked at him hesitantly: "Sherlock, what do you mean by this?" ”

The smile on Sherlock's lips contained endless coldness: "The commander handed her over to you, and it's okay to help her become a magician, right?" Don't worry, Commander, she also has mage blood. ”

The commander looked at him in surprise with a very determined expression, and he didn't know what to say for a while, forget it, for the sake of him once again eliminating the threat to the Atlante Demon City in England, let's give it a try—

"But if Edvina is a waste, you'll be punished."

A smile appeared on Sherlock's face, as cold as the clear light of the moon, but he had the power to see everything, and said, "Commander, don't worry, she will definitely not let you down." As soon as he finished speaking, a mocking voice came from behind him: "Sherlock, you must be too full, you are really good at boasting, be careful that you will be embarrassed when the time comes." ”

Sherlock frowned slightly, then slowly turned around and looked at the person coldly, seeing that it was Xavier who pretended to be pitiful that day and calculated himself, it seemed that he didn't succeed that day and saw that he was punished and came to trouble again today, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became very cold: "Whether I boast about Haikou, you will know soon, but I am a kind person, I will not say what you did that day, after all, pretending to be pitiful is probably an unspeakable thing for a boy." ”

"You're ......!" Xavier was almost so angry that he jumped to his feet, he glared at the other party viciously, he was almost eager to draw a knife and slash at Sherlock's cold face, if it wasn't for the sake of getting rid of him, why would he do such a humiliating thing, but he didn't expect the other party to say it in front of so many people as a joke, how could he not be angry and how could he not be angry, and then he snorted coldly, "Forget it, I'm too lazy to bother with you." Then he deliberately lowered his voice and whispered in Sherlock's ear, "It's just a dog, what's the point of being proud." It sounded, but it smacked of gnashing of teeth.

Sherlock's blue eyes looked at him coldly, and his handsome face was covered with a layer of frost, but he said sarcastically: "You are right, so it is better for Count Xavier not to deal with my dog, otherwise, in the end, the person who knelt down and begged for mercy would not know who it was." ”

Xavier stared at him deadly, his teeth chattering and almost rubbing out sparks, but he hadn't gotten along for a long time and couldn't help but die of anger.

The commander frowned, these two people will always be incompatible, they will mock each other as soon as they meet, and they will not stop for a day, if it weren't for being in his commander's mansion today, I'm afraid these two people would have to fight, "Okay, Xavier, what's the matter with you here today?" ”

Xavier then remembered that he had come here today to have a business but was so angry that Sherlock forgot his future purpose, and after being reminded by the commander, he suddenly remembered, and couldn't help glaring at Sherlock fiercely again, before he looked at the commander and said: "Commander, tomorrow is the day when the new emperor god takes office, and Her Majesty asked you to prepare the candidate as soon as possible." ”

Sherlock's eyebrows were extremely calm, this was what he had long expected that the magic city of Atlante would have a new emperor sooner or later, and through the news brought by the black gentleman a month ago, the candidate for the new emperor god was still the Marquis of Zachri of the Ellade family, a foreign family of the Ferdinand family.

But there is nothing special about this person, and there is no achievement that can be amazing, he is inferior to his three younger brothers in the Ellade family, and he basically belongs to Adou, who can't be supported, and even the Duke of Abel has lost his patience to cultivate him, and he is devoted to the other three young masters, rather than following an unmotivated waste material, it is better to spend this time cultivating those three younger sons, but what is the purpose of the Ferdinand family to launch such a person who was abandoned by the family as a candidate for the next emperor, And what do they want to do?

The commander looked at Sherlock for a moment before he spoke, "Sherlock, go back first." ”

Sherlock answered "yes" and left Edvina at the Command's Palace, and the Black Gentleman turned around and walked out of the Command's Palace.

Atlante City –

In a small alley on Brent Street, a silver-haired boy with a delicate face who was called out by his brother to buy something, his white arms and legs were full of whip marks, which looked particularly shocking, and people couldn't help but feel pity when they saw it, thinking that such a delicate boy like a rag doll was born in such a family that was extremely eccentric, but it was really very pitiful.

He is the Clemens family, the second son of the Duke of Auston - Earl Hilzer, like Sherlock, who is hated by the whole family because he has been a magician since birth, so he will often beat people with a whip behind closed doors to blood, dying, often calling him like a servant, but not giving him food, and it is the same for a few days, at this time, Hilzer has not eaten for three whole days, and his eyes are black and he immediately falls to the ground, before falling into a coma, A young man in a black military uniform came into view, and then the other party's cold voice came: "Are you willing to sign a contract with me?" ”

Although Hilzer's eyes were dizzy from hunger, his head was even more dizzy, and the words spoken by the young man seemed to be in his ears, and he couldn't really hear it, but he stretched out and grabbed the other party's trouser legs, and then fell into a coma, the next morning, Hilzer slowly woke up from the coma, but found himself lying on the bed in the room, he suddenly smelled a burst of food on the right side of the bed, he subconsciously turned his head to look over, but saw a rich breakfast on the table, probably because he hadn't smelled the fragrance of the meal for too long, For a moment he even thought he was still dreaming.

At this moment, a person walked in from outside, Hilzer looked at the other party, and couldn't help but grow his mouth in surprise on his face, and asked, "Are you...... Count Sherlock? ”

A shallow smile rose at the corner of Sherlock's lips, but there was endless indifference hidden in his eyes, and he answered the question: "Hilzer Clemens, do you want to avenge yourself?" Sign a contract with me if you want, and I'll make it happen for you. ”

Hilzer was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then nodded impatiently and said, "Yes." Then he reached out and picked up the sandwich on the white plate on the table, and ate the sandwich quietly without saying a word.
