Chapter 6: Arris's "Identity"
Soul Echo is the natural talent of Galif Winston, the first head of the Winston family, who is able to communicate the reverberations hidden in special magic equipment and perform special magical skills.
This kind of special magic equipment is called a holy relic, in the past, when the magic equipment manufacturing technology was not very mature, in order to allow the magic equipment to be contained in their own soul, when forging the magic equipment, the user needs to separate a small part of his soul and resonate with the core of the magic equipment, and after the resonance is completed, the magic equipment can be contained in the soul.
The Holy Relic also has a small part of the user's soul, it will not mutilate the user's soul, but will increase the strength of the user's soul, but when the Holy Relic is damaged, the user will also suffer a soul impact, permanently losing a small part of the soul.
This method of forging has both advantages and disadvantages at that time, and in order to resist the attack of demons and the assassination of enemy aliens, humans must prepare magic tools to make up for their own shortcomings.
When the owner of the Relic dies, the Relic will go into a deep slumber, waiting for the next user worthy of its awakening.
At present, there are not many holy relics left in the world, it can be said that they are rare, and in the entire Ying country, only the Winston family has the most holy relics, after all, their natural talent can make them better use holy relics
The Winston family's natural talent, the Soul Echo, is able to communicate with the reverberations in the Holy Relic, thus gaining special abilities.
It can be said that the strength of the Winston family is based on the Holy Relic, and without the Holy Relic, the strength of the Winston family will drop by more than half, after all, their magic skills are all developed on the basis of the Holy Relic.
And at this moment, Alan is holding a red-hilted sword in his hand, which is none other than the sword of Galahad, one of the twelve Knights of the Round Table - Meriaduk.
As a member of this generation, the Winston family has the highest level of soul reverberation, and he is unable to construct the legendary Knight of the Round Table Galahad completely.
This means that the resonance between him and the reverberation within Meriaduk is not high enough, and when Galahad is completely constructed, he will truly become the owner of Meriaduc.
Now, it can only be said that he is borrowing the power of the red-hilted sword with the soul echo.
Galahad, who was gathered by the red fireflies, raised the Meriaduk in his hand, which was also made of red fireflies, and placed the end of his sword flat on Alan's right shoulder.
Suddenly, the red-hilted sword lit up with fluorescent light, and a three-hundred-and-sixty-degree all-round shield composed of red fireflies appeared around Allen's body, enveloping him in it.
"May the Evil of Filth Never Invade Your Body"
The Red Firefly Knight uttered something that Eren couldn't understand, but Alan, who resonated with the reverberation, could understand the meaning.
Then he retracted the red-handled sword at his waist, and the red-handled sword was instantly reduced to a small sword that was only ten centimeters long, and the red-handled knight behind him also dissipated into the wind as he turned into a red-hairpin again.
"Then I'll go down!"
Alan gave Arris a thumbs up and jumped into the river.
Aris stood on the bridge, quietly watching the scene, she trusted Alan, but this time the case might be trickier than ever.
Alan who dived into the blood-black river thought that the entire river would be blood-black, but when he swam directly to the bottom of the river, he found that only one-third of the main layer of the river had turned blood-black, and the other parts were still showing normal colors.
It's such a strange toxin, forget it, let's go find clues first.
Alan uses his hands and feet at the same time, swimming in the water like a nimble swimming fish in the river.
On the way here, Ariss told him that he needed to find some pieces of flesh in the river.
This made him sick for a while, he had never seen the victim's body, but hearing Aris say this, eighty percent couldn't even look at the corpse.
A faint red light covered Allen's eyes, allowing him to see clearly in the river.
Broken pieces, broken pieces, where are they?
Five minutes passed, and Alan searched for nearly half a circle in the river, except for the pebbles, which were small pebbles, and he couldn't even see any flesh color.
You won't be swept further downstream, will you?
Alan looked down the river and thought, let's go on.
Ten minutes have passed again, and Alan has searched the blockade of the river area, and he has not found any debris, but has found a one-carat diamond, which is estimated to have been dropped here by a rich lady, and the money for tonight's meal is available.
"Aris, no pieces found!"
Alan shouted with his head out of the river facing Aerys on the bridge.
No, no....
Aris pressed his fingertips against each other and placed them in front of his lips, his eyelids drooping slightly.
Seeing Aris like this, Alan also waited quietly in the river.
The two corpses are the same in key details, but the head of the second corpse is gone, and there are obvious bite marks on the neck, and the technique is obviously different from the first corpse.
It shows that when the second murder occurred, in addition to the mastermind, there was also an accomplice next to him.
From the wounds, it appears that the accomplice was the one who caused the death, and both bodies were found in the river.
But in terms of the time of death, the first body died nearly two days before the second.
The day before the second body was found, there had been heavy rain in the fog and strong winds.
Aris's gaze looked upstream of the river, which was supposed to be connected....
"Allen, you go and look for it again, this time pay attention to the stone cracks on both sides of the river, as well as the stone cracks under the bridge, and the two bridges downstream to focus on inspection."
"Understood!"
Seeing Alan dive into the blood-black river again, Aris also rolled over on his side, grabbing the gap in the stone bridge with one hand, supporting his body from falling into the river.
Using his right hand as a fulcrum, Aris stabilized his figure by clamping his two slender jade legs into the stone crevices under the stone bridge.
Those ruby eyes swept through the gap under the bridge, and did not miss a single thing.
Aris changed several directions in succession, but found nothing, and then turned back to the bridge with one hand.
It seems that there is no here ....
While Aris was still thinking, a faint sound of swimming came from the lower reaches of the river.
"Arris! Pregnant! ”
.........
No, why is the layout of the Yingguo neighborhood in this world so complicated, he can't understand it even when he holds the map.
At this time, Lin Yi was walking on the rural road of Wangciworth with a paper map.
He is a little confused now, although it is the first time he has gone abroad in this world, but it stands to reason that the distribution of neighborhoods in a country will change so much?
In the world of science, he has been to Yingguo more than once, but he has not lost his way to this extent!
Just in the city, then in the medieval style buildings, now in the countryside.
Even though magic is the mainstream of this world, this change is not an exaggeration, he can barely understand some of the markings on the map now.
No wonder you can't find the map of Yingguo Wudu on your phone, it's not that it doesn't work, it's too complicated.
I think it's over here...
Lin Yi saw a relatively dilapidated church, the windows of the church were still sealed with some wooden boards, and the tiles on the roof had fallen a lot.
The abandoned church, it seems that this is it, Lin Yi glanced at the map again.
After he handed over the information about the ghoul alien race to the spirit, he was called by the spirit to check the place where the corpse was dumped and see if he could find some useful clues.
Lin Yi walked towards the abandoned church, and he looked inside through the gap in the planks.
The interior of the church was dark, only the sunlight leaking through the cracks shone slightly, the fine and dense dust was very clear in the sunlight, and there were still some relatively intact long church chairs in the church.
Walking to the gate, Lin Yi found that it was still locked, although he said that he could open it with a pinch, but he still shouldn't do it in another country.
I heard that the group of people in the throne court are ruthless, and it seems to be a crime to break into churches here in this world.
It's better to be a legal citizen.
Well? That figure is so familiar? How is it like Lolicon who was caught at the airport?
Walking in, Lin Yi found that the person was Alan Winston, and there was a blue-haired Lori beside him.
And when Lin Yi discovered them, Alan and Arris also discovered Lin Yi at the same time.
"It's you!"
Alan pointed at Lin Yi with a shocked expression and said.
"I didn't expect to meet you here, Lolicon."
"What the hell is Lolicon! My name is Alan Winston! Just call me Alan. ”
"Okay, Lolicon."
Allen: ψ ('?′) ψ
Suddenly Alan thought of something, and just as he wanted to speak, Aris said.
"This is the Chinese who called the police to arrest you, and he is also a hunter, a high-level mage, and a summoning department."

"Investigated me beforehand?"
"There's no need, it's just basic information and doesn't need to be obtained through a survey."
That's amazing!
Lin Yi looked at the blue-haired Lori in front of him, the first time he saw him, he could get so much information, and all of them were correct, which was amazing.
Alan saw that the atmosphere between the two sides was a little wrong, and hurriedly interjected between the two and said.
"Arris, this is Lin Yi from Huaguo, and then this is my partner, Aris Holmes."
Sherlock holmes? Isn't that a character?
Lin Yi's childlike hole expanded slightly, and he couldn't help but look at Aris slightly, but Aris frowned slightly when he saw Lin Yi's reaction.
Alan also said with satisfaction when he saw Lin Yi's reaction.
"Unexpectedly, Sherlock Holmes has reappeared in this generation."
"Wait, you said you're her partner, that's you (Watson)?"
Alan nodded, acknowledging his identity.
"Isn't your last name Winston?"
"(Watson) is just a name for Sherlock Holmes' partner, anyone can be Watson, as long as he is recognized by Sherlock Holmes."
Alan showed a proud expression, he wanted Arris to recognize him as "Watson", but he worked hard to make up for his knowledge and crazy cultivation for the first time, and was almost sent to a mental hospital by the old man.
But it's all worth it!
Lin Yi watched Alan look at Arris affectionately, and couldn't help but make him doubt Alan's motives for being Watson.
"Ahem, I didn't choose to be Watson for that reason, and don't look at me with that suspicious look!"
Lin Yi looked at a slightly white-red fragment in Allen's hand, and he could see at a glance that this fragment was part of a human eyeball.
"Are you investigating this eucalyptus as well?"
"Yes."
"Wait, then let Aris take a look."
With that, Alan handed the broken eyeball to Arris.
Lin Yi saw Aris holding the fragment of the eyeball, staring at it for a second, and then handed it to Alan again.
"Okay?"
"Alright, let's go."
After saying that, Aris walked in another direction, and Alan also stuffed the fragment of his eyeball into Lin Yi's hand when he saw this.
"I'll go first, Arris! Wait a minute! ”
Lin Yi looked at the fragmented eyeballs in his hand and said.
"Apu, do you feel it?"
Sitting on Lin Yi's shoulder, Apu revealed his originally hidden dragon form.
Oh~
Lin Yi looked at the direction in which Aris and Alan were leaving, and thought to himself.
In this world, it seems that Holmes is capable of more than just reasoning.
.........
"Arris, have you seen that guy's surprised expression, every time I see these people surprised by the identity of Sherlock Holmes, I feel inexplicably cool!"
Alan said excitedly on the side.
"That's not to surprise who I am."
Arris's words suddenly calmed down the excited Alan.
"Not surprised by your identity? He knew you were Sherlock Holmes? ”
"Not really."
Arris tilted his head slightly to look behind him.
That look seemed to question the existence of Sherlock Holmes, or think that Sherlock Holmes existed in fantasy.
It's a strange reaction, like one heard by someone living in a world where Sherlock Holmes doesn't exist.
........
Fog Hunters Association.
"Give you Lingling, that's all there is to it."
After Allen and the others left, Lin Yi deliberately searched the river again, with the help of Apu, it was faster to find than Allen, but after looking for it, he didn't find anything.
Lin Yi handed the sealed bag containing the fragments of the eyeballs to Ling Ling.
"It doesn't seem to be contaminated with toxins, let's see if we can find some useful information on it, by the way, I found new clues on the corpse, you go to the Luoshi neighborhood in the Wangciworth district."
"Where did the victim go before?"
"That's right, this is a place that the association couldn't find during the previous investigation, although the trajectory of his life has been checked, but no useful information has been found, and now the fragments found on the corpse point to a cowboy bar called Dusk."
"Okay, I'll go later, by the way, Lingling, are you with me?"
"You go by yourself, there are still some materials that have not been done, put on a communicator and contact in real time."
With that, Lingling turned around and left the room without a trace of souvenir.
It's so heartless, Lingling ~ crying and crying ~
Apu flew to Lin Yi's side at this time, patted Lin Yi's shoulder with his little paws, revealing an expression of "Dad is with you".
The next moment, Apu was "packed" by Lin Yi again and thrown into the contract space.
Sherlock holmes... Watson.....
I don't know why, Lin Yi felt that he would see them again soon.
