Chapter 114: I Want to Go Home With You
Shortly after Ivas left the Lloyd's building, Lily quietly alerted Ivas that someone was following them.
Although what "Spider Silk Secret" strengthens is perception, Lily only has the first energy level after all. If the other party is determined to follow them secretly, it will be difficult for Lily to find the other party just at this moment.
In other words, this is actually a "stalk on the table", and it is the vice president of Boca who is showing an attitude to Eivas:
We at Lloyd's have a big business, but we only send stalkers that you can find to follow you, which shows that we are now very friendly.
It also implies that they don't trust Ivas completely, and that there will always be spies behind them that they can't find - telling him that there are eyes on you in the shadows at all times...... It's better to be calm and don't make trouble.
But Ivas learned another piece of information from this act: Lloyd's is currently under political pressure.
If Lloyd's, which indirectly controlled two-thirds of the seats in the round table hall and controlled large and small enterprises and major newspapers through lending, how could they be afraid of a hairy boy like Ivers?
They had just told a lot of secrets, but they hadn't given Ivus access to any evidence or details.
If Ivas dared to talk nonsense when he returned, not only would he not be a threat to Lloyd's, but he would expose his own purpose. This confidence in not being afraid of traitors from within is proof of Lloyd's strength.
Now, however, they have become noticeably more cautious. From their standpoint, the elder Moriarty is dead...... They are so conservative in the face of the Moriarty family, whose head is dead, and who have no relatives or relatives. This shows that their influence in the round table is starting to stalemate.
"Interesting."
The corners of Ivus's mouth rose slightly.
Who is counteracting Lloyd's influence?
He pondered in his mind and finally found the answer.
- It's Dean Meg.
Through the task issued by Haina to investigate the "alchemy bomb smuggling case", the old lady showed that the big arbiter was probably trying to attack Lloyd's.
Because she could not have known that the smuggling case was related to Lloyd's - all the smuggling cases that went from the port side were related to them, and Lloyd's had long controlled the whole Lloyd's area. And the Grand Arbiter, who controls the entire arbitration hall, must know about this...... After all, some arbiters are themselves senior members of Lloyd's or have affinities or friendships with them.
So what's there to investigate here?
Although this is the first alchemy bomb, there are also a lot of large items smuggled in previous years.
When did they investigate Lloyd's?
"She's trying to advance......"
Ivus knew in his heart. It turned out that Meg wanted to advance from this time.
What is a closed disciple, this is actually to find a successor.
It's like you're talking about the aftermath.
She may have known that her progress might fail...... There is even a high probability that it will fail.
Therefore, I want to finish everything that needs to be dealt with and everything that needs to be solved before the advanced ceremony.
After all, there are only so many transcendents at the peak of the fifth energy level in this era, and everyone knows each other, and they are pure acquaintances. The nine people who entered the door knew all of them, and more than half of them had to be old men and old ladies. Maybe a few decades ago, it was not impossible that they still had grievances and hatreds with each other when they were young, and even related to each other.
With enough people, it's too easy to be an actor. This kind of bureau does not look at strength at all, but looks at the sophistication of people.
Whether it's being targeted by someone else during the Crescent Moon Rite, or a teammate's backlash during the Full Moon Ritual - even if Meg is strong enough, but others don't want her to advance, it's hard.
The old lady apparently understood, too. But her stubborn temper came up, and she just wanted to try it.
Of course, there is another possibility.
ββ¦β¦ Maybe she felt like her life was near. β
Needless to say, even if it is an extraordinary person who can continue to heal himself, as long as he is short-lived, he will not live too long after all. The only clear path to prolonging life and even eternal life is the path of twilight, and Meg is over a hundred years old this year.
Although she looked at her body, it was still quite tough...... But who knows. Sometimes, only the old man knows how his body is bones.
Ivus's heart moved, and he didn't let Lily shake off those tails. But he didn't go directly to the bishop's house to find Sherlock, but first went home to say goodbye, hugged Yulia, who was worried about him, and then went straight back to school.
He directly asked Lily to push him to the bottom of the girls' dormitory, and casually stopped a senior sister from the third department, showed a polite smile, and asked her to bring Hayna down.
When the senior sister heard this, she directly opened her eyes wide, stretched out her hand and subconsciously covered her mouth, and was stunned in place for a moment.
But she was only stunned for a moment, and immediately responded without hesitation.
Ivas only waited in place for less than twenty minutes, but Haina, who was dressed so well that she didn't even have time to comb her hair, was pushed down by her classmates who were watching the excitement with a confused expression.
ββ¦β¦ What's the matter, Evas? β
Haina stroked her hair in embarrassment.
A girl's hair can easily become frizzy if it is not carefully managed; But Haina has a lot of hair, it is troublesome to wash her hair once, and it is a little cold in winter. Anyway, these two days were weekends, so she didn't wash her hair at all and nested in her dormitory.
Recently, Avalon has been quite popular with a book called "Dracula". After reading it, she thought it was really good, so she went to the library and found the books that Mr. Bram Stoke had written before, intending to have a peaceful, uneventful weekend.
As a result, now she was suddenly mysteriously dragged down by her roommate, saying that someone was looking for her.
As a result, when I came down, it was actually Ivus!
"Senior sister, you didn't wear makeup today, but you look better."
Ivus complimented casually.
He glanced at her classmates who were lying by the window watching the excitement, and just smiled and shook his head: "Come with me, senior sister." β
ββ¦β¦ Oops? Where are you going, if you want to meet someone, I'll go back and wash my hair first......"
Reluctantly, and with some embarrassment, Hayna pressed her fluffy hair and tried to press it flat. But Ivus didn't respond immediately, so she just trotted after Lily.
But she doesn't really care where she goes.
Instead, he was a little interested in what Ivas said before: "Mr. Ivus, is what you just said true?" β
"Makeup?"
Ivus looked back and chuckled, "That's true...... In my opinion, the senior sister looks better without makeup. β
ββ¦β¦ Sure enough, it should be that my makeup skills are too poor. β
Haina was a little frustrated: "I've just started learning this year...... When I first came to university, I was too busy, and now I have been admitted to the Inspectorate in advance, so I have time to study these things.
"But it's too complicated, like the chemistry taught in the second department, and some of the aesthetics of the sixth department - I don't know how to put on makeup. Either I can't see the feeling after painting, or I feel that it's better not to paint than to paint, it's too ugly......"
She followed Ivas for a while before realizing that it was in the direction of Ivus's dormitory.
So Haina immediately reacted, it should have something to do with Sherlock's matter.
But she had just become serious, and before Ivus even looked back at her, he said without looking back, "Don't be too nervous, senior sister." It would be better to be natural. β
"Yes, Mr. Evas."
Subconsciously, Haina obeyed Ehuas's orders. Just like when they were fighting in the Pelican Bar.
After carrying Haina through the door, Ivas led her to the parlor. Let Lily prepare tea and afternoon tea.
And Ivas crossed his fingers and asked, "Didn't you come this morning?" β
"Sherlock's funeral?"
Haina nodded: "Yes, I didn't go." β
Although the Inspectorate asked her to attend Sherlock's funeral today, she pretended to be very sad and refused - mainly because Haina knew that Sherlock was not dead, and she was not optimistic about her talent for drama.
"I'm worried that I'll accidentally expose a flaw that will affect your and Mr. Sherlock's plans. So I decided to do nothing. β
Haina replied.
As an outstanding student of the Department of Individual Tactics, she has studied tactics and swordsmanship. Therefore, we have a deep understanding of what it means to say that "you would rather do nothing than make mistakes".
INTERVIEWER How many students in the third division have not been slashed by a classmate's sword, bitten by a griffin that their classmates can't control, or hit by a classmate's out-of-control horse?
Perhaps only the seniors of the fourth division who are watching the excitement next to the playground and preparing to practice lighting skills can be counted by the way to the juniors and sisters.
Ivas praised, "Very good, otherwise you might be in danger." β
ββ¦β¦ What's wrong? β
Realizing that Evas was about to get down to business, Hayna frowned slightly, propped up her back, and her tone became reliable: "Do you need my help, Mr. Evas?" β
"Yes, indeed."
Ivas nodded, "I need you to help me get to Sherlock for a messenger - I don't know if the phone will be tapped, so it's safest to send the message through someone reliable." β
"Eavesdropped?"
Haina was stunned for a moment: "Is it an enemy that the Moriarty family can't solve?" β
This was unimaginable to her - the Moriarty family was already an almost "eternal" behemoth to her. Moriarty's income in a year is money that she will never earn in her lifetime.
Not to mention, Edward is also the inspector general of the Inspectorate of the Isle of Glass!
How terrible is this enemy that cannot be fought against?
"It's not a big problem, I can solve it myself."
Ivas said in a deep voice: "You are mainly telling him that I am now forced to join Lloyd's, and I may have to fake my death once in the future...... Don't show your stuff. β
"-You're coming too?!"
Havena didn't even bother to be polite, but blurted out.
Almost immediately, she realized the other person's problem: "What about Princess Isabel?" β
"Look at what Sherlock has to say."
Ivas narrowed his eyes and fell into thought: "I'm also afraid that Isabel can't stand it." So I'm inclined to explain it to her in person, but you know...... The more people know about this kind of thing, the more flaws there will be. But strictly speaking, I didn't really want to die once, but I was kidnapped and disappeared, and maybe I could have informed her in advance. β
"When?" Haina asked.
"Next week."
Eivers replied without hesitation.
Either way, he had to extract the illusion from Yulia's body before he could do so. Otherwise, she's going to lose 100 percent of her control.
"At the beginning of next month?"
Haina's attention was a little strange: "Isn't that a final exam?" β
"My fake death is not the same as Sherlock...... At most, I will be missing for two or three days, and I won't be able to delay the exam. β
Ivus wasn't nervous about that.
What's more, even if you don't do well in exams? He's just here to read the banned books in the library, and he's not like Hayna who needs to take the title of chief to change his fate.
What's more, this year's knowledge is really not difficult. Ai Huasi felt that his naked test results would not be bad.
"Then why don't I help you with some tuition?"
Haina was eager to give it a try.
She didn't know where she could help Ewass.
She had already entrusted the trouble of Head of Meg to Ivas and Sherlock, but when the two of them had a quick discussion, she felt as if she couldn't get into it at all - their logic jumped so fast that much of the process was omitted in between. She felt like her brain was burning as she listened to it.
Obviously, I have always been very smart, and my grades are also very good. But why does he still look naΓ―ve in front of the two of them?
Haina sometimes had this kind of self-doubt.
And now, she feels like she finally has a place to give back β to give all her important tasks to others while she watches...... This kind of thing sounds very much in line with the authoritarian path, but she can't do it. At least for now, I'm a little embarrassed to do it.
"Although I may be dealing with that kind of complex event, or lack talent in layout, planning, etc., but if it's just a final exam, I'm still very good at it!"
Haina was eager to try: "I'm good at exams!" β
"That's fine," Ivas replied cheerfully, "Then I'll trouble you, Senior."
"Oh, yes. After the final exams, can I go back to my hometown with you? β
ββ¦β¦ Huh? β
Hearing this, Haina's eyes widened and she froze in place, motionless.
Washton chuckled wickedly, and Haina realized she had misunderstood.
The fox-like young man waved his hand slightly, squinted his eyes and smiled, "Just kidding, in fact, I have something to go to Eagle Point Village." Sherlock will come when the time comes. As the host, you'll have to show us the way. β
"-Ah, that's fine!"
Haina replied cheerfully: "You can come at any time, I will treat you well!" Although Eagle Point is a small village, there are many delicious and fun things to eat! β
"Speaking of which," Ivas asked, knocking on the side, "I also recently learned that before I was adopted by my father...... My biological grandfather was from Eagle Point. β
"Huh?"
Hearing this, Hayna's eyes lit up: "Really! β
"Yes, his name was Jacob Alexander, and he died of typhoid fever fourteen years ago. Do you know him? β
Ivus asked earnestly.
Haina thought for a while before her eyes suddenly widened: "You mean...... Grandpa Jacob? Is it Grandpa Jacob who writes and writes poetry?
"When I was very young, Grandpa Jacob taught me to read!"
Today is an update of more than 7,000 words!
I slept at half past eight yesterday, and got up at half past three today, and I feel like it's almost like a human routineβ
