Chapter 179: Meeting the Pope (2-in-1, Subscription Requested!! )

"How do you know for sure?"

Daniel was extremely curious, he didn't see Freya's flaws at all, and the other party had been acting normally.

"Tonight's party is known only to the nobles who received the invitation, but the prisoners still came to the door."

On the sofa, Ma Wei crossed his legs, loosened his tie, and put on a comfortable posture: "Ubuli I was furious, indicating that he realized that someone had leaked the specific location of the nobles, and the people who knew the specific location of the nobles were definitely not commoners, either the family members, servants, or parties of these nobles. ”

"Based on these speculations alone, you can't doubt Freya's head!"

"I'm not done yet...," Ma Wei said with a smile, "Why do you think Butters Brev is able to appear on the balcony of the Second Prince's villa?" ”

Hearing this, Daniel was slightly stunned, glanced at the source, and seemed to understand something: "You mean, Butters Brev knows that the second prince is hiding in the study?" ”

"Quite possibly."

"Why?"

"Because the person who leaked the location information knows the second prince very well, and not only understands, but also knows everything about the actions that the second prince may take when he encounters a crisis...."

Sherlock Holmes, who was sitting on the fire and threw wood at the fire to make the fire burn more vigorously, said: "I also suspect that the location information was leaked by the Duke of Shevali. ”

"At the time of the explosion, everyone was in the banquet hall, except for the Duke of Shevali and the second prince, and after the explosion, all the guests rushed to flee the villa, even the servants looked panicked, but Duke Shevali showed an expression that he didn't know what was happening."

"Duke Shevali and the second prince have known each other since childhood, and they know each other's personalities very well, and for the fact that there is a secret room hidden in the villa, Duke Shevali must know the existence of the secret room even if he doesn't know the specific location, so she is the most suspicious."

The source thought for a while and said: "No, if the second prince doesn't play his cards according to the routine today and escapes from the villa with all the guests, won't Freya's plan be in vain?" How is this different from gambling? ”

"The premise of gambling is that the probability is equal." Holmes narrowed his eyes and said, "If Duke Chevali takes advantage of Nicholas's suspicions and knows that he will come to find him after the explosion, the balance of probability will tilt to one side. ”

Watson, who knew Holmes very well, suddenly realized: "When the explosion occurred, the second prince was not in the banquet hall, he heard the noise, he will definitely rush to the banquet hall to check the situation, among the guests tonight, the only one who has the ability to protect him is Mr. Nicholas!" So he will definitely find Mr. Nicholas to join him as soon as possible! And Mr. Nicholas, who suspects Duke Chevali, will go to the bathroom to look for traces of Duke Chevali, so that the best time to escape will be missed! ”

"Not only because Nicholas has the ability to protect himself, but more importantly, Nicholas is very important to the second prince now, if Nicholas is killed tonight, the Manstein Potions Company will fall apart, and the network that the second prince has hoped for will lose its effectiveness." Sherlock Holmes took a briar pipe in his mouth and said, "This alone is enough for the second prince to look for Nicholas at the first time of the accident." ”

"It's a pity."

Ma Wei shook his head and sighed: "Originally, I wanted to promote Sleeping Toast tonight, but I was disturbed like this, and everyone lost interest...."

Sherlock Holmes smoked his pipe and said with a smile: "There is no shortage of good products, I have tasted lethargy toast, the effect is really amazing, the side effects are much smaller than cocaine injections, and I have been a little addicted to it recently." ”

"Sleeping toast is okay for recreation, you must not eat it in large doses, no matter what it is, it is not good to eat too much."

"I only use things like cocaine and lethargic toast when I'm bored, and I don't touch them as long as there's an investigation."

Sherlock Holmes sipped his pipe, he didn't have time to smoke at the banquet, and he didn't dare to smoke in the secret room, which made him addicted to smoking, and the more he smoked, the brighter his eyes became: "The present situation is very exciting, Professor James Moorea, Mr. Butler, the underground black market, Duke Shevali..... These big men, like fine wine hidden in the cellar, are waiting for me to uncover their mysteries...."

"You don't have to follow up on Freya's business." Ma Wei said with a serious expression: "Let's go our separate ways, you are in charge of investigating Professor James Moorea, and I am in charge of Freya and Mr. Butler, in short, protecting yourself is the most important thing." ”

Dilloc Holmes is one of the few existences that conforms to the logical truth, he has proved himself with practical actions, this kind of talent, Mavi will definitely introduce into the church, and in the future, the church and the kingdom will also consult his opinion on the laws formulated, and the importance of Sherlock Holmes is no less than that of Dino and the high-ranking members of the church.

"I'm measured." Sherlock Holmes said faintly: "I also claim to be a master of fighting, ordinary criminals can't help me at all, but now is the age of magic, and I have to be more restrained in my life and work, and I can't investigate with great fanfare." ”

"It's good that you know it in your heart, once the Supreme Four Pillars make a move, the living spirit statue I gave you won't be able to stop them."

Dongdong!

Winter, winter, winter!

There was a knock on the door, the room was suddenly quiet, only the crackling of firewood in the fireplace, Ma Wei motioned to the source to keep quiet, got up and took off his coat, only a thin shirt remained, and opened the door....

Outside the door, there was a miserable white and bloodless face.

"Your Highness? It's so late, aren't you resting? ”

Looking at the second prince standing outside the door, wearing pajamas, Ma Wei looked surprised.

"I can't sleep.... Is it convenient to speak? ”

"Hmm.... Come on in. ”

Ma Wei let go of his body, and the second prince walked into the room, and when he saw Sherlock Holmes and Watson sitting on the sofa, he was stunned for a moment: "You are also there?" ”

"Something so big happened tonight, I suspect that someone has leaked information about the gathering of nobles, so I asked Mr. Holmes to come over and make a good deduction."

"It's time to ponder...."The second prince didn't think much about it, and his eyes swept over the table: "Nicholas, do you still have a sleeping toast?" ”

At the banquet, Ma Wei prepared a lot of sleeping toast, intending to sell it to the guests, but unexpectedly, the villa caught fire, causing the toast he prepared to be engulfed in the fire, after all, no one would hold a piece of toast when they fled.

"It seems that there is another piece...."Ma Wei glanced at the source: "Felix, you go and get it." ”

"Got it."

The communication walked into the inner room, activated the heart of the jungle and disappeared in an instant, he went somewhere else to find the sleeping toast, with the blessing of teleportation magic, and soon returned to Kensington Palace, and when he entered the living room, he also had a complete toast in his hand in the oiled paper cloth.

Seeing the sleeping toast, the second prince couldn't wait to take it, cut off a piece with a knife on the table, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed, and then leaned back on the sofa and let out a comfortable moan.

The tense body gradually relaxed, and after a few minutes, the second prince reopened his eyes, his face regained a little blood color under the light of the fire, took a sip of the teacup on the table, and said: "As soon as I close my eyes, the figure of Butters Bref will appear in front of me, and there are endless flames, the pressure is too great.... I don't know when I'll catch Butters Breve, I'll have to kill him with my own hands! ”

Butters Brev must not be able to catch it, he has become part of the witch puppet now, where can he catch it?

But about Butters Brev's coming to seek revenge on the second prince, Mavi is a little curious.

"Your Highness, how did Butters Bref find you?" Ma Wei asked, "How old were you ten years ago?" How could you provoke him? ”

The second prince was silent for a while: "Butters Brev was originally the bishop of Yin Ling District, a member of the Cardinals, and believed in Nanelde, the goddess of wealth, and he was qualified to compete for the position of archbishop...."

"Ten years ago...," Holmes interjected, "I remember that 10 years ago, the Church seemed to elect a new archbishop?" ”

"Yes, Archbishop Brandon took office 10 years ago." The second prince said: "After the death of the last Archbishop Nanel, who believed in the goddess of wealth, died of old age, the position of archbishop was vacant, and after the internal election of the church, in the end it was Archbishop Brandon who came out, but Butters Brev was not convinced, and repeatedly made trouble, so the church arrested him and locked him in a dungeon, so that he could reflect well, but instead of introspection, he also scolded loudly, and even insulted the pope and the goddess, and committed very serious heretical crimes, and finally became like this....."

Ten years ago, before the gods came, the power of the Kingdom of Windsor was still in the hands of the parliament and the monarch, and the power of the church had fallen away, and it had lost its former glory.

The emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, although the church is sluggish, it is still the state religion of the Windsor Kingdom, the king also often listens to Mass, and many nobles are members of the church, and it must be right to have a good relationship with the church.

Ma Wei suspects that the election 10 years ago may have been unfair, which led to Butters Breve's rebellion, or Butters Breve's defeat in the election.....

Judging from the results, it is estimated that the second prince did something to help Archbishop Brandon ascend to the throne, which can also explain the reason why Archbishop Brandon supported the second prince.

Mavey didn't debunk what happened 10 years ago, it's too long ago, and Butters Bref is dead, so what can he say?

The church will not rehabilitate Butters Breve, and Mavi, a foreigner, will not be able to run to cheer Butters Breve on.

"Let's talk about something else."

The second prince, who didn't want to continue to delve into the case 10 years ago, looked at the communication: "What's going on Charles's side?" Have you been attacked too? ”

"Hmm." The source nodded: "In the middle of the banquet, someone suddenly attacked, and the scene was chaotic, and I took Helena to find the eldest prince, but I didn't find him. ”

The second prince sneered: "Charles must be hiding!" Of course you can't find him, he's just a shrunken turtle! Since the last attack on Clarence Palace, Charles has dug a secret passage underground, guess where the secret passage ends? ”

"It can't be St. Paul's Cathedral, right..."

"It's St. Paul's Cathedral!" The second prince said with a disdainful face: "Clarence Palace is very close to St. Paul's Cathedral, in case of an accident, he can arrive at St. Paul's Cathedral within 10 minutes to seek the protection of the Pope!" Isn't this a shrunken turtle what is? Charles guesses it's okay, how about the other guests? ”

"A lot of people have been injured...."The source recalled: "The witcher arrived in time, and the priest who was in charge of protecting Clarence Palace also launched the realm of immortality at the first time, and no one died...."

"Hell!"

The second prince scolded indignantly, obviously very unhappy with Charles's luck.

In fact, the church sent many monks, priests, and bishops to arrange them in the mansions of the nobles everywhere, and in the event of an unexpected situation, the realm of eternal life will be launched as soon as possible to ensure the safety of the nobles, and it is precisely because of this that the second prince and the eldest prince dare to hold a banquet.

The second prince's villa is also guarded by a priest who believes in Wild, the goddess of health, but the problem is that when the prisoners attacked, they accidentally broke the gas pipe, causing an explosion in the banquet hall.

If the priest stationed at the villa had not been killed, the nobles would have been safe and sound!

Tonight's attack, the most affected was the second prince, and a scolding was indispensable.

"Nicholas, tomorrow morning, you will come with me to St. Paul's Cathedral, and the Pope will see you by name."

"See me?" Ma Wei frowned: "Why?" ”

"Because you're the one who witnessed Butters Breve escape." The second prince picked up a cigar: "It's not just you, Mr. Holmes, Felix.... Anyway, everyone who was there at that time had to go, rest early, and don't be late tomorrow morning. ”

After speaking, the second prince picked up the sleeping toast on the table in frustration and left the room, he came to sleep toast, too heavy pressure, so that he could not sleep, only the sleeping toast could make him forget everything for a while.

After the second prince left, the source couldn't help but say: "Big brother, the Pope sees you in person, this is not like a good thing!" ”

"Afraid of what?"

Ma Wei leaned back and said, "He's the Pope, so I'm not the Pope?" ”

"It seems that the Church of the Three Goddesses of Fate really values the Mask of Change." Sherlock Holmes exhaled a puff of smoke: "In order to find the Mask of Change, they used too much power, and the mask you got from your hand is probably not an ordinary transcendent item." ”

"yes...."

Ma Wei asked Edward to take out the mask of change, knocked on the edge of steel, and muttered: "The last time the transcendent item that attracted the attention of the church was the channeling white candle, at that time, the Holy Light Mithril of the Fertility God Cult personally tracked down, and even invaded the territory of the Romanov Kingdom, and their mission was only the channeling white candle..."

The white candle opens the way for Mavi to the endless darkness, and the real pocket watch allows him to meet Baggy, so to speak, that is the beginning of everything, and now the unexpectedly thousand masks in hand....

Most likely, it is also a holy relic left by a certain god!
