When Ivus woke up, he cleaned up his ritual arena as soon as he could.

The smoked white crystal pendant is no longer pure. Ivas grinds it into powder and puts it away for later use.

After receiving the breath of the dream world, the spirituality in it is so mixed that the concept of "white crystal" is lost. In any alchemy or ritual that requires a "White Crystal" to be used, it will only lead to failure.

But it's not pure garbage either. The scientific name of this thing is "Secondary Dream Crystal", and in alchemy and ritualology, it has a weak concept of confusing dream and reality.

If two opposing magical powers are injected into a piece of crystal dust, they are mixed with the extract of the entire brain of an adult cuttlefish. Finally, it is put into a bottle of white wine and distilled until only half of it remains, and you get three parts of Forget the Worry Water. Drinking one serving, one can forget one's most sorrowful things like a dream.

- In the main quest of the game, after Yulia's death, "Eivus" fell into grief, and the whole person became visibly depressed and emaciated. At that time, under the guidance of Ivus's adoptive father, Professor James Moriarty, the player used the white crystal pendant that Ivus gave to the player as a souvenir as a souvenir as a material to make this potion, and let Ivus take it.

After drinking the potion, Ivus fell into a deep sleep. When I woke up again, I was noticeably better.

It was as if it hadn't happened a few days ago, but years ago.

It was also the first time in the game that James Moriarty participated in the main story.

…… Now that Iwass was preparing the potion himself, it always felt subtle.

But now that Iwass looks back...... Probably from the beginning of this mission, it is implied that old James has a fairly good level of alchemy knowledge. Because the water of forgetfulness is not a common potion of dreams. At least as far as Iwas's impression goes, it hasn't been seen in the main quest since.

After cleaning up all the traces of ritual left in his bedroom, Ivas left his room.

He told the housekeeper that his room could now be cleaned. The housekeeper, Madame Lovi, complied, and called Ivus's personal maid.

In general, servants do not need to be by their master's side all the time, as they are usually staggered from their master when they work. Moriarty Manor is in the White Queen after all, and it can't be too big. But the main building alone has more than twenty rooms...... This requires the servants to clean up in real time.

Usually the foreign affairs would contact the Oswald butler, and the internal affairs would contact the housekeeper, Mrs. Luo Wei. They're the easiest to find.

The former is the guardian of the Moriarty family, while the latter is just a hired human housekeeper.

In other knightly families, there was no need for special orders from the master - as soon as they left their place, the housekeeper had to immediately order someone to clean the place where they had been before.

But Moriarty Manor is an exception.

Because of the four owners here, Ivas rarely goes out after graduating from high school. Yulia was not allowed to go out or near open windows. Edward basically only came back for a day or two a month...... Only James goes out and comes home from time to time.

Not to mention the arrangements for banquets and travel, there won't even be much domestic garbage. The servants were to clean the room as usual, and to gossip where the masters could not see.

And the servants also know that the Moriarty family is a family of transcendents, and they are all studying the occult. Books of all kinds may contain dangerous knowledge that ordinary people can become dementia or die at a glance; And the various things on the table on the floor may also be part of a ritual or an enchantment.

So until the housekeeper says "it can be cleaned", they don't go to the bedroom to clean up the garbage. Even if you go to clean it, you just restore the original position of various objects and try not to touch them.

"Good morning, Master Aivus."

The maid with long flaxen curly hair, who had been nursing the oil painting on the side, walked over and whispered hello.

"Good morning, Lily."

Ivas also greeted his personal maid in a friendly manner: "Good news for you...... You can also go to school. ”

Hearing this, Lily's eyes widened suddenly.

“…… Can I also go to school? ”

She had been taking care of Eivus's personal maid when he first arrived at the Moriarty family.

At that time, Ivas was six years old and Lily was fourteen. They've become acquainted.

Lily is usually responsible for cleaning Ivas's bedroom, cleaning and changing his underwear, and accompanying him when he is out.

For reasons of safety, decency, and appearance, these valets are usually not of full commoner origin, but are the children of relatives or the illegitimate children of other families.

Lily, for example, is the child of an old knight and a prostitute.

Her original surname was Drost, but she lost her last name after becoming a maid of the Moriarty family.

The Drost family did not want a prostitute's child to have a chance to inherit the inheritance, and felt that if she went to school under the surname of Drost, it would be detrimental to the Drost family's reputation. But it would be a shame to let her live on her own if she was put outside.

Eventually, the old knight asked James Sr. to hire Lily as his personal maid.

This is said to be hiring a maid, but in fact, it can also be said to be a kind of surrogate child. Professor Moriarty was also very kind to her - although her job as a maid kept her from continuing her education, her junior high school level was enough for her to master the basics. She is also provided with a variety of books at home to teach her what she is interested in after work.

"Of course, although only with me. But you're also going to have to sit in on it. ”

Ivas smiled softly and patted his remaining wheelchair, "I can't let Mr. Oswald accompany me to school, can I?" Then I'll be laughed at by my classmates, I need someone to push a wheelchair. ”

"That'...... And what about Mr. Wade? He can also protect you. ”

Wade is the name of old James's personal valet.

Ivus shook his head, "I'm not qualified enough. ”

According to the Avalonian etiquette, only those of high status can have a valet, just as only a knight family can hire a valet. The merchants, the nouveau riche, and the high-ranking civil servants who had not yet been awarded the title of armor had to hire maids. Not only is it because a lot of manual work needs to be done by a man, but the personal manservant also has the identity of a guard and bodyguard, responsible for protecting the safety of the mansion with the housekeeper.

The two personal valets of the Moriarty family belong to James Sr. and Edward, the eldest brother. Edward's valet was placed in another house in the Red Queen's district, where he bought an apartment near the Inspectorate for work. Only when he goes home will he take his personal valet home with him.

When he went to see Bishop Mathers before, he was personally taken by Oswald Butler, because Bishop Mathers's status was high enough.

But Oswald stewards could not take care of him every day.

Until Ivus can gain Level 3 Shadow Affinity, be able to fully control the Shadow Demon, or make a Dark Attribute Mana pool of 50 points, and make a blank card to seal the Shadow Demon, he will obviously be inseparable from a wheelchair.

It's okay to say it at home. It doesn't matter if it's in a place where no one is around.

But even if the Shadow Demon is quiet and not a demon, as long as Ivas stands on his shadow, he has conceptually completed the "link" with his Shadow Fiend. Then his shadow would boil straight away—thick and solid, and squirming and smoking.

This is clearly going to be an accident. And pushing a wheelchair by myself, although it is not impossible to walk, but it is too tiring.

“…… Can I really? ”

Lily was a little nervous, and reached out to grab the hem of her clothes: "My father...... The man said he didn't want me to go to school. And...... And even if I push your wheelchair, you'll be criticized by your classmates. ”

She obviously wanted to go, but she was afraid of getting into trouble. It's not so much convincing Ivas as convincing himself why he can't go.

"How come," said Ivus, laughed, "they can't be envious." After all, I can have such a beautiful girl with me to class. ”

The real reason, of course, is ...... He knew that Lily wanted to go to school very much and was hungry for knowledge.

Although theoretically he is not qualified enough to match a manservant, he is in a special situation after all. The school should also be able to specifically approve it.

But Wade wasn't interested in that, so he might as well give Lily the chance. After all, she can be regarded as an older sister who has been taking care of herself since she was a child......

In the original world line, Lily would have died in a side quest three or four months later. Death is insignificant and insignificant.

Then it would be better to let her follow her to school.

These characters who do not appear in the "plot" also have the possibility of "unknown" in a sense.

“…… Where the words. You're too much of a compliment. ”

Hearing this, Lily blushed.

Although she was a little girlish in her appearance, she actually knew that Ivas was joking and reassuring herself.

The housekeeper with a serious face on the side couldn't help but smile.

She also obviously had a good impression of this polite and somewhat introverted young maid, and gently patted Lily on the shoulder and reminded, "Thank you, Master Ewass." ”

"Thank you, thank you......"

Lily reacted and bowed deeply.

Her tears were a little uncontrollable, and her vision was a little blurry.

Because she realized that Ivas wasn't just talking about it, and wasn't joking—it was serious.

It made her feel rejoicing.

Even the whole world, which was slightly blurry in front of me, seemed to shine brightly under the dawn.
