Chapter 161: The Glass Island with Undercurrents
Sherlock was stunned for a moment, and then carefully read the entire front page headline.
He immediately understood: "You learn from me? β
"It's not new, it's easy to use."
Ivus smiled and said, "I think your fake death plan is very useful. β
"But I also faked my death, and you also faked my death...... What about Uncle York's side? β
Sherlock frowned, "Why don't I try to write an anonymous letter and ask Edward to arrest him directly?" β
"Don't bother, because York is missing too."
Ivus replied immediately.
ββ¦β¦ Yes? β
Sherlock was stunned for a moment.
Ivus narrowed his eyes and added slowly, "He's really missingβnever to be found again." β
"Did you just kill him?"
Sherlock frowned slightly: "If you can't search for his memories, what about the clues?" β
Ivas explained: "I have now determined everything that needs to be determined by searching my memoryβYork's superior is Bran Boca, and they are both members of the Noble Red Society, and Lloyd's and the Noble Red Society are indeed inextricably linked, but they also have serious internal contradictions and disagreements. β
"Bran Boca?"
Sherlock thought for a moment, then recalled his identity: "Judge of the First Intermediate Court of the White Queen? β
"That's him. He is a fourth-level lawmaker, and he is also a fourth-level demon scholar, and the demon of the contract is the Ice Demon. β
Ivas provided Sherlock with a retelling of the information he had just been tortured.
Sherlock also gasped: "He's actually ...... Moreover, the fourth energy level? β
At this level, I basically can't catch it if I want to.
Because it is impossible for Avalon to have a fifth-level court ceremonist. In other words, they couldn't be sure if the other person was a demonic scholar anyway - if it had been hundreds of years ago, it might have been tortured or memorized.
But now that it is the era of civilization, extracting memories is equivalent to killing a person directly, and if they can't get evidence, they can't do it...... After all, Boca is not an ordinary person, and he is also a knight who can enter the round table to participate in politics. Then this is equivalent to "the royal family is going to interrogate an old knight in the round table to death without any clear evidence", which is impossible for them to do.
The royal family of Avalon has always been at a disadvantage compared to the Round Table Room.
In this case, if you want to try a prisoner who is really unclean, but you can't find any direct evidence, you have to deal with more than just that person...... It's a whole network of relationships behind the other party.
In order not to let himself be dragged into the water together, everyone related to him will launch a fierce counterattack.
For the royal family, this is just a purge of an ordinary judge, but for everyone else, it is a matter of life and death - the two sides attach different importance to this matter and can make up their minds.
According to Sherlock's understanding of Avalon, this will eventually be let go.
There is even a possibility that Judge Boca may be co-opted into the royal family...... Because even if the royal family doesn't make a move, the round table hall will do it. In order not to further increase the strength of the Round Table Hall, Bran Boca's status will be improved - as long as he eats the benefits from the royal family, it is impossible for the Round Table Hall to accept him with confidence.
Sherlock felt his brain ache.
He rubbed his head and frowned: "Then this is a problem......
"Not only that, but I can tell you a piece of news. Although your uncle is only a third-level lawyer, he is also a fourth-level demon parasiterβan advanced class for demons. β
Ivus narrowed his eyes, "Did you know that he was once a demon?" β
ββ¦β¦ I doubted it, but there was no evidence. β
Sherlock confesses: "When I investigated Uncle York, I consulted his earliest records. In terms of transcription alone, his logic is not rigorous, and his defense testimony is not inflammatory. But he can change the opinions of judges and jurors...... I had already suspected that his use of some kind of supernatural means might have something to do with his hidden path abilities. But I'm not sure which direction his other path belongs.
"Now it seems that it may be some kind of demon that can manipulate the will of others."
Is the fourth energy level, though......
Sherlock was a little scared for a moment.
- Fortunately, I didn't arrest him directly!
Sherlock was only a third-level lawyer, and Edward was only an inspector who had just reached the fourth-level level. If they and Ivas go directly to capture York, they are likely to be killed by the other party!
"So, even if you tell Edward about this, you can't do it. He can't deal with the other party - he can't catch it, he can't judge. It's better to just let him disappear. β
Ivus narrowed his eyes.
A thought popped into Sherlock's mind.
He looked at Ivus strangely and asked, "Then how did you make him ...... 'disappear'?" β
"It's a secret."
Ivas smiled, stretched out his hand and made a silent gesture in front of his mouth: "If you are interested, go and investigate it yourself." β
He doesn't intend to deliberately hide his other identity, but he also doesn't intend to say it on his own initiative.
When they can find out, when will they have a showdown.
It's not that you're trying to hide any sin.
Even if it is "Aless", all the people he kills are evildoers. That's just something that "Eivas" can't do.
It's just that Ivas knows one thing deeply...... That is, if you want to deceive others, you must first deceive your own people.
There is no more evidence than Sherlock's efforts to investigate Aleister to prove that "Ivas has nothing to do with Arest".
"Okay."
Sherlock simply responded.
He saw it as a problem that Ivas had given him, a challenge from a friend.
"Anyway, there's no need to worry about York's side. I am 100% sure that your father was framed because of him; I'm pretty pretty sure that the curse of the Avalon royal family has something to do with them as well. So although I didn't catch him, it was equivalent to fulfilling your commission.
"The man who attacked me last night belonged to the Noble Red Society. They tried to kill me, and I realized that my situation was no longer safe. β
Ivas said earnestly, "So I left and laid a clue to confuse them. Let them doubt each other and attack each other internally. β
Sherlock thought for a moment, and then immediately reacted: "You want them to think that you were captured by the other party's faction?"
"But in this way, as long as the two sides check the information, they will soon be able to figure it out. You can't lie for long. β
"So, it's not two sides, it's three."
Eivers narrowed his eyes: "The Noble Red Society, most of them also look down on President Lloyd. β
Although Lloyd's of this generation is also a half-blood giant, the result is the same.
The reason is simple.
β because he wasn't good enough to go above and beyond.
As a transcendent, he chose to turn back and suppress his juniors to consolidate his position. This act in itself would make him look down upon, and even disgusted, by those who were noble red.
For transcending the path, this is an off-the-board move that can only be used if you can't afford to lose. Presumably, President Lloyd himself understands this.
So while Vice President Boca thinks that "Aleister" is from President Lloyd's side, President Lloyd, whom Evas has never met yet, will only think that "Aleste" comes from a faction in the Noble Red Society that is not used to seeing him - just to cause trouble for himself.
It's fine that Ivus is dead, but he's missing. Being missing means that he could reappear at any time...... And most importantly, it means that both the Inspectorate and the Inspectorate will be desperately investigating and looking for Ewass.
So President Lloyd would never do that.
Even if he wanted to kill Evas, he would definitely let the people on Boca's side do it, so that he could cut it afterwards.
But this incident is very much in line with President Lloyd's style of doing things...... Therefore, those people in the noble red will also think that most of this thing was done by Lloyd.
But there is only one thing in common.
Whether it is the Inspectorate, the Inspectorate, the royal family, the vice-president of Boca, the president of Lloyd's, the noble red...... Everyone was looking for Ivas.
But they're not the only ones looking for Ivus.
In the Barrel Club, the sculptor Lars Graham slowly lowered the newspaper with trembling and old hands, and sighed silently as he watched the news of Ivus's disappearance.
β¦β¦ Just a little bit.
He had already found out that Chloe's disappearance was most likely related to Eivas.
Most likely, she didn't listen to her own persuasion. During the assassination of Ehuas, he was killed by his elven butler Oswald before he could even give a signal.
Although Chloe is her own immature disciple, she is the granddaughter of her old friend after all.
Waited until Oswald left Avalon...... Lars Graham was going to kill Ivas himself.
As one of the few transcendents of the three paths, Lars Graham has the path of beauty at the fifth level, the path of adaptation at the fourth level, and the dusk path of the second level.
β¦β¦ As a result, the stupid and reckless Star Antimony people directly attacked Aihuas.
Now people are lost. I don't even know where I've gone.
Even if Ivas could return, the school's security would definitely be greatly improved. It wasn't so easy for him to start again.
It's not that he might not be able to kill Ivace, but he might expose himself. That could spell problems for the Speaker and the organization.
His mission is almost complete, and he will return home in two months. It's not long to toss around in Avalon.
Then give the Star Antimony people some trouble.
Lars Graham thought.
And on the other side.
Minister Drost is on the phone to the vice president of Boca to discuss the matter.
"Something happened to York."
Vice President Boca said briefly: "He was attacked by a man named Aleister...... It's Lloyd's people. β
ββ¦β¦ Aless? β
Hearing this name, Drost frowned: "I know him." Evas's disappearance should have been done by him as well. β
"You know Aleister?"
Boca asked rhetorically, adding the information he knew, "York is missing too." His servant said that in the middle of the night he was touched by the vigilance ceremony of his office, so he entered the office. But he didn't leave until dawn. And when I went to investigate again, I found that he disappeared directly into the office...... And nothing was missing except for the loss of a phone receiver. β
"Actually, I think it's possible that they're not missing...... Instead, it was directly devoured by the Shadow Fiend. There are no bones left. β
Drost replied, "Aleister is a demon possessed by a shadow demon, and I met him during the promotion ceremony before. β
"Give me more information about him, Mr. Drost."
Boca said solemnly: "Now the situation is urgent, we must unite. β
"Yes."
Drost also stopped bargaining, but just said in a deep voice: "I will organize the information into a paper document and let Diomedes send it to you in the afternoon." β
Although the results of the investigation he sent to investigate Aleister have not yet returned, it is now too late.
The lawless "Aleister" has become a huge threat that looms over the entire glass island.
