With the help of the old butler Oswald, they quickly packed up the things that Yulia wanted to bring.

This time it wasn't just about going to school, it was essentially a move - Moriarty Manor was clearly not safe enough until Oswald returned. So under the persuasion of Ivus, Yulia brought everything she wanted to bring.

But unlike the eldest lady of the same level, Yulia didn't bring too many clothes and jewelry.

What really takes up space is actually her kits and material boxes. Even those books Ivas didn't let her carry much, and the library in the Royal Law University was the largest in Avalon. Even Professor Moriarty's private collection is not as good as the forbidden section of the university library.

Yulia only brought a few specialized research books in the field of alchemy, as well as a few reading notes related to university knowledge.

Fortunately, when Yulia was studying, they were all sorted out. She easily found the notes she had typed when she was studying college on her own - she had brought ten thick notes from her freshman year to her junior year. It was taller than her calves.

In order to help Yulia "move", Oswald also followed.

After recovering to health, Yulia was visibly full of energy, or rather excitement, - like a schoolboy before a spring outing, chattering in the car.

The only difference is that Yulia's arguing is quite golden—she and Ivas talked about dreams, stars, and tarot in one breath from the extraordinary career planning and promotion ceremony, and regretted that she didn't bring the astronomical telescope with her. Then he talked about alchemy and plant breeding, as well as Avalon's land policy and economic taxation.

That is, Ivus is knowledgeable enough to keep up with Yulia's topic.

She had almost no social experience—all her knowledge was read from books and newspapers. But she has seen enough and has a good memory that she almost becomes a search engine.

Yulia could even remember the day Ivas was first in the newspaper, and what was said in the newspaper that day—Ivas himself had forgotten what the story was about. Anyway, he basically the whole time that day...... Because he didn't expect to be stopped by a reporter from the "Glass Steps".

The cuteness of the girl made the old housekeeper's old face as old as an ancient tree rarely show a smile.

In order to get a wheelchair for Aihuas, they first went to the inspectorate in the Red Queen. It's very close to the Royal Law University, just down the street.

The wheelchair was placed directly in Edward's office. Ivas chats with Yulia in the car, while Lily follows Oswald to the Inspectorate.

This was Lily's first time in the Inspectorate.

When she had picked up the Tantric Book before, she had gone to the White Queen's Inspectorate. It was already night, but the Inspectorate was still busy - Inspectors in half-armor walked around, and from time to time someone went to the Griffon's Flat at the back entrance of the Inspectorate and left on a griffin.

Others flipped through a lot of papers, calculating something, or calling out to their colleagues from afar, and discussing something that Lily didn't understand at all.

Until then, Lily's impression of the Inspectorate was that it was "in charge of arrests." It was then that she finally realized that they were also responsible for collecting taxes – and that tax issues were more difficult to solve than law and order issues. The Inspectorate gives the impression of being busy...... Almost everyone is either frowning or serious-looking.

At that time, Lily was even worried that she would get in someone's way, and kept pulling aside. She looked so aggrieved, she didn't look like she had come to receive a reward at all, but more like a prisoner arrested by Hayna.

But the atmosphere of the Inspectorate is completely different from that of the Inspectorate.

In general, it feels "gloomy and cold".

It's only half past three in the afternoon, and I haven't gotten off work at all. But the spacious hallway was empty.

The mirror-clean floor reflected the shadows of the old butler and Lily, and their footsteps echoed through the hallway. There is a faint sense of terror.

“…… Mr. Oswald. ”

Lily whispered, "Why is there no one here?" Didn't they go to work? ”

"If the Inspectorate is as busy as the Inspectorate, then something big will happen."

The old butler put his hands behind his back and said calmly without looking back: "The work of the Inspectorate is to check whether the knights and officials are loyal, whether they are morally deficient, whether they have accepted bribes or betrayed the queen. Then there is spying on spies in other countries...... As well as infiltrating other countries to become spies.

"There are so many rooms here, and every room could be censored, interrogated, or empty. For those businessmen, a larger or smaller number of officials under scrutiny can be information about their stock buying and selling. The very fact that 'is no one being censored' is a secret.

"That's why every room in the Inspectorate is equipped with soundproof runes, so that when the door is closed, you can only hear when you knock on it."

The old butler saw that Ivas valued Lily, and was trying to pass on some experience to her. It just so happened that he also liked this very sensible and motivated human girl...... At least much better than Hayna.

He stopped, pointed to a door, and said, "This is Master Edward's office, remember?" ”

"Remembered."

Lily nodded and replied, "I can come here to find Master Edward." ”

"Yes."

Oswald replied simply.

He knocked on the door, and the inside and outside were connected - it was like a clogged ear became clear for a moment, and Lily clearly heard the sound inside and paused suddenly. It seems like it's not just one person.

"Is there a hurry?"

Edward's cold voice rang out, "I'm dealing with some business. There are chairs at the doorway. ”

The implication is that if there is no urgency, wait outside.

"It's me, Master Edward."

Oswald's voice rang out.

After a while, Edward opened the door.

He looked rather serious, but became a little more relaxed after seeing Oswald.

"Got a wheelchair, Mr. Oswald?"

Edward asked.

Oswald nodded and looked inside. I saw that there were two other people in Edward's office.

One of them was a red-haired woman who looked to be in her thirties, but was still mature and attractive.

And the other is an elderly elf with a rare national character face.

"Originally, there were some happy events to tell you, but you have guests here, so it's not very convenient."

Oswald said slowly, "You remember to go home tonight." ”

"I try."

Edward nodded.

He turned back to the woman and said, "Go ahead, Lady Red." ”

"You always throw this offending work at me, dear Inspector...... There are no good people in Lloyd's. ”

The Red Lady complained, but did not refuse: "It's okay, whoever made me a coolie." However, if I disappear on the way back, you will remember me next year. ”

"I remember you every year, go and do it." Edward said ruthlessly.

The moment she passed Lily, Lily suddenly felt like time had slowed down.

Her senses suddenly sharpened - she always felt as if she had seen this person somewhere.

…… Red?

Could it be......

Lily thought of the Red Lady in the promotion ceremony. Although Lily did not meet her during the ceremony, Lily listened to her and the others for more than an hour in the waiting hall as the "Grey Robe".

Although her voice changed slightly, Lily was impressed by her deep and languid voice.

When Lily looked at Madame Red, Madame Red also sensed Lily's gaze at the same time.

But she didn't care, just smiled kindly at Lily.

And this elven old man ......

Lily always felt like she had seen it somewhere.

"Long time no see, Diomedes."

It turned out that Oswald was the first to speak, saying hello.

"It's been a long time, indeed."

The old elf, known as Diomedes, nodded at Oswald and smiled, "We must have not seen each other for almost thirty years, right?" ”

"Definitely. The last time we met, it was before the old man adopted Young Master Edward. ”

Oswald also has some nostalgia.

He smiled and said, "I'm going to go back to the country." Do you need me to bring you a few words, or bring back any souvenirs? ”

"Can you let go of those two?"

Diomedes raised an eyebrow and asked rhetorically.

Edward also looked at him when he heard this, frowning slightly and showing a worried expression.

The old butler shook his head at Edward slightly, and motioned to go home.

"If you want to talk about it, bring some rose gold brew."

Diomedes laughed and said, "I kind of want to drink the wine of my hometown." ”

"Looks like you don't have anything to say for me to bring you, old thing. You should die quietly in a foreign land. ”

Oswald smiled, "I'm going to meet His Majesty the Pope." ”

The national character face elf also shot back: "You are the same, old thing who is dying...... Just don't speak ill of me. ”

These two people are at least seventy or eighty years old, even by human standards. If you count the lifespan of the elves, I am afraid that they have lived for four or five hundred years.

If you don't use any path power to prolong your life, even if you are an immortal spirit, your lifespan will be five hundred years.

If you live a little longer, you will be considered an amber dependent.

And Oswald also introduced to Lily: "This is Diomedes, the guardian of the Drost family, and I am an old friend of him. Before we were sent to Avalon, we were all the same chosen papal guards.

"He was the Moriarty family who introduced you back then."

“…… Ah, I remember this young lady. ”

Seeing Lily, Diomedes' expression was a little serious: "We met more than ten years ago. ”

"Thank you, Mr. Diomedes."

Lily bowed sincerely in thanks.

- So this is the benefactor!

Without this old elf, it would have been difficult for her to enter the Moriarty family and never meet Evas again.

But Diomedes' expression when he looked at Lily was a little complicated.

He was silent for a long time, and then he stopped talking.

He just sighed and whispered, "Be safe during this time, kid." ”

Hearing this, Oswald narrowed his eyes slightly and patted Lily on the shoulder.

"I know what you mean, old thing."

The old butler squinted his eyes and said.
