Chapter VII Invitations

"This time you want to give up justice...... Or ......"

"The world of darkness itself is outside the law, but they are not outside of justice. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" Holmes turned to face the darkness in the alley, the air filled with the strange smell of the city after the rain, "The hunter's reason for protecting Moriarty is the safety of the dark world, and this trial is the chance to get answers...... Moreover, this is the only chance for Moriarty to be judged by the law. ”

Sherlock Holmes...... Even I don't dare to say that I understand the dark world, but have you thought about it, if you fail......"

"I'll gladly accept it. Tell me, Professor Magellan, do you think I'm going to fail?" Holmes's eyes shone in the darkness that made it impossible to look at them directly.

"It was the pirates who saved Brittanya and they became nobles, and that was the beginning of this era, and the world is changing, and I love it...... But that meant one thing, the inhabitants of the Dark World would only see this trial as a new trouble for the great man Professor Moriarty. ”

Magellan turned his back to Sherlock Holmes, looking at the narrow light at the mouth of the alley and the pedestrians walking through the street in the light.

"It's not about justice, it's not about the law, it's even, it's not about you, Sherlock Holmes. ”

"It doesn't matter. Holmes smiled.

"I will give a fair verdict. ”

"That's enough. ”

Magellan glanced up at the gloomy sky and walked out of the alley.

"It's going to rain again. ”

......

"To Brittany?

"Our fleet needs experienced sailors. ”

With a flat smile on his face, the man looked at the people sitting at the table in the room.

"I know that all of you here have superhuman strength enough to secure a new fief for the Holy See, but before that we can do so, we will have to face the sea...... An unpredictable and dangerous journey. ”

"Please don't waste time with such frivolous excuses," a middle-aged man dressed as a priest interrupted the man unceremoniously, "we never said that you were not allowed to go to Britannia, but you have to give real reasons. ”

"Okay...... Our fleet needs all sorts of people, despicable, thieves. And, I want to see Magellan. ”

"Agreed. ”

The people sitting at the table came to a conclusion with astonishing speed.

"We'll arrange an entourage for you. ”

The man was a little surprised: "Is it necessary?"

"It is very necessary that Magellan can easily kill you. ”

"Okay......"

The man shook his head helplessly, gently extinguishing a wisp of flame in the palm of his right hand.

......

"It is an honor to meet you, Professor Magellan. ”

Moriarty was a man of great grooming, with a well-groomed beard and deep eyes that made him look like a philosopher, when in fact he was a famous philosopher.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Professor Moriarty. ”

Magellan clearly felt the hunter's aura, it was their instinct.

"You are very famous...... Especially among hunters. ”

"I was really flattered by that. ”

"Don't say that, I was looking for a chance to meet you a long time ago. ”

Magellan smiled and picked up the black tea in front of him, put it to his lips and took a sip.

"What's the matter?"

"You're a friend of Mr. Holmes, I think you've heard about that, the trial against me......"

"Yes. ”

"Professor Magellan, you have been selected as a member of the jury, and I have come to deliver the invitation. ”

Moriarty smiled and took a notice from the strong man behind him and handed it to Magellan.

"Just tomorrow. ”

"I'll go. ”

Magellan didn't even look at the notice and put it in his jacket pocket.

"Sorry, I have something ...... today"

Moriarty smiled: "Please." ”

Magellan's figure disappeared at the top of the stairs, and the smile on Moriarty's face faded.

"Worthy of Magellan...... It's like a living lion. ”

"No matter how powerful a beast is, it is nothing more than a beautiful decoration on the wall in front of humans. ”

"That's because you have a shotgun in your hand, Sebas. Moriarty stood up and walked towards the entrance of the box on the other side, "Don't be hostile to him, he'll kill you." ”

Sebastian, the burly man, frowned, wanting to say something, but in the end he just followed in silence.

"Hey, Dear Professor Moriarty, a light in the dark!"

No sooner had Professor Moriarty walked into the box than a cheer erupted.

"Good evening, my friends. ”

With a friendly smile on his face, the professor sat down at the round table.

"Ah, my friends, I'm glad you would be willing to come to me at this time when I need help the most, for the sake of friendship!"

"For friendship!"

Everyone in the box shouted excitedly and stood up and drank their glasses.

"Thank you, thank you, old William, and you, little William, I'm glad you're here," Moriarty patted the shoulders of the two men, one old and one young, and continued to circle along the edge of the round table, "Ah, is business at the docks okay, Paul?"

Everyone laughed, undisguised their excitement at being entertained by Professor Moriarty.

But Moriarty soon left, leaving a notice to join the jury before walking out of the box with Sebastian Moran.

"It's a rush to come and go......"

Old William opened the notice with a drink and handed it to Little William, who was sitting on his left: "Hey man, I can't read, what's written on it?"

"Dear Mr. William, the Court of the Northern City of Brittany, hereby invites you to join the jury in the trial of Mr. James Moriarty. ”

"Hah!" said old William, gulping down the spirits in his glass, "another fool who has been tricked by the professor, he is really unlucky, and he has come up with a new trick when the professor comes up with it." ”

"That's right. ”

William smiled and put down the notice, sipping his wine and recalling the jury list he had seen.

He found something very interesting.

"Few of your own people ......"

......

"There's absolutely no need for you to deliver these in person...... Notice, those maggots!" Moran rubbed the soles of his feet on the ground with a look of disgust, trying to rub off the dirt that had stuck to it, Professor Moriarty's car was not far from the alley, it was getting dark, and they were ready to go back.

"Sebas, I know you're not bad-hearted, but it's not good to talk like that. The professor remained calm and polite, and he quietly and quickly left the alley, and in the back seat let the driver rush to the next destination. "I didn't bother organizing a trial against myself. ”
