When Andre Watson came to his senses, he noticed a little dot standing beside him with his hands behind his back, staring at him.

The boy was on a cane as if he were on a decent footing, with a very serious face and a very similar look.

"Ah......h

Detective Watson let out a dry voice, and finally eased up.

But he was still trembling all over, and it took a while for him to regain his ability to speak.

The cold was still soaking through his body, and Watson still had fear in his eyes: "What the hell is going on...... Why is there a wild hunt here? ”

"Maybe you were unlucky enough to run into it."

The child asked coldly, "What are you doing here?" ”

"Oh......"

Watson struggled and sat up from the ground. Haina kindly helped out by the side - and at this moment, he saw a large white feathered griffin around Haina, and his movements instantly froze.

For a moment, Sherlock narrowed his eyes.

"Thank you, this ...... Your Excellency the Ombudsman? ”

Watson asked tentatively.

Haina shook her head: "I'm not an ombudsman yet. You can call me Miss Haina first—this is Arthur Conan Doyle. ”

"Hello guys, kind young lady and little gentleman. Thank you so much for saving me. ”

Watson's face turned blue and his lips turned pale.

But Haina noticed that he was recovering quite quickly...... After he woke up, after just a few breaths, he began to speak fluently, and his complexion and mental state improved at a speed visible to the naked eye: "My name is Andre Watson, and I am a detective. ”

"Oh, hello, Watson......"

Soona was halfway through her words when little Sherlock suddenly interrupted her with a voice:

"—Then, Detective Watson," he said, "why did you make a special trip to such a remote town?" ”

Watson hesitated for a moment, only to realize that the person leading the conversation was actually this child.

Maybe he's not a kid at all.

…… Perhaps, he is a dwarf?

Such a strange thought suddenly popped into Watson's mind, and his mind subconsciously began to think quickly.

- The guy named Haina was able to get a pure-blooded griffin in her infancy, which means that she has at least touched the edge of the fourth energy level. She only said that she was not an ombudsman for the time being, but did not explain that she was not from the ombudsman...... And her standing posture looks quite casual, which means that she probably didn't come from the military system.

If you don't come from the military system, then you will enter the arbitration hall when you reach the fourth energy level. At that time, you will be able to accept the Queen's armor as Avalon's top combat power and talent reserve, become a knight and enter the round table room.

Undoubtedly, that is the pinnacle of power that ordinary people can reach.

But she had a lot of respect for that little kid—

Watson was absolutely right, that emotion was respect, even a little fear. As soon as the "child" spoke, she immediately stopped speaking. Even tentatively look at the other person for advice.

This undoubtedly shows that the status of this "child" is extremely high.

The only child who can make a knight so respectful and fearful is probably the royal family. But there's no doubt that it's unlikely that Avalon currently has a male royal family of this age.

Then there is only one explanation.

This seemingly child-like person has the mind of an adult. He's a dwarf!

And most likely it is a minister or the secret manager of a certain institution!

"—Don't be cranky, Detective Watson. Please answer my question. ”

The boy impatiently raised his cane and poked him in the abdomen. It's like being stabbed with an iron rod by a child who doesn't know the severity, and the pain makes him grin. But it also woke him up from his thoughts and fantasies in an instant.

"Yes, Mr. Doyle......"

He subconsciously responded.

But as soon as this sentence came out, he saw "Mr. Doyle" immediately raise his eyebrows. So Watson immediately knew that he had accidentally said the wrong thing again, and immediately regretted it.

He could only force his way on, pretending that he hadn't seen anything: "I'm here to find Detective Sherlock Hermes." ”

“…… Well? ”

Haina was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously glanced at Sherlock.

And this subtle demeanor was also immediately captured by Watson.

His heart immediately tightened.

- Why did she look at the shorty?

Does he have anything to do with Sherlock's disappearance? Did he do it? Or is Sherlock related to him?

Or rather...... He's Sherlock?

As soon as this thought came to his mind, a new thought immediately came to Watson's mind: yes, if Sherlock had been transformed into a child through rituals, he would have suddenly disappeared.

Then the arbitrator's respect for him would make sense. And his unceremonious feeling towards himself, and the feeling of some disgust but some reassurance, is also vaguely like Sherlock......

"I am Mr. Hermes's apprentice."

Little Sherlock poked Detective Watson with that cane and said unceremoniously, "What are you looking for him?" ”

"He's missing...... There is a suspicion that he was killed. ”

Watson replied half-truthfully, "Ask me to investigate his whereabouts." ”

"He's fine. It's just a secret investigation. ”

Little Sherlock replied calmly, "He will be back in two months at the latest." Go tell your client – if there is one. ”

Watson's heart tightened, and he opened his mouth and closed it again, silent for a moment.

And Sherlock was already sighing in his heart.

This idiot......

Before, he didn't feel very smart when he looked at Watson, but now this perception is even clearer.

Sherlock, who has now reached the third level of wisdom, can clearly perceive ...... Detective Watson's path of wisdom has only reached the second level.

He's really not smart!

For the average person, being able to awaken to an extraordinary profession that comes from the path of wisdom seems to indicate that he is a smart person.

But Sherlock knows the identity of the other party-

He is the illegitimate son of a mage lord of the Narcissus and the Son of the Moon. As a combination of two high-ranking transcendents on different paths, he was born with the adaptability of the path of wisdom and the path of love.

However, Watson's strength is not outstanding.

At least not so prominently on the path of wisdom.

Born with wisdom and adaptability, he has only reached the second energy level at his current age......

Generally speaking, college graduates who have just graduated are about this level!

Detective Watson's father, Dr. Watson, as a senior mage of the fourth energy level, can fight even against the strong of the fifth energy level in his own mage tower. He is most respected for his work as a medical doctor – he has knowledge of dental diseases, digestive diseases, and lymphatic diseases.

Sherlock had even read Dr. Watson's dissertation and learned a lot from it.

Dr. Watson once wrote a monograph detailing the rate at which various foods are digested inside the human body. And after the death of the human body, what kind of posture will be presented by various foods at different stages of digestion in different environments and after different periods of time.

Dr. Watson has also written a paper on the injuries caused by different types of bullets hitting different parts of the body at different distances, and what the direct cause of death may be in the end.

This knowledge was very inspiring to Sherlock.

He is also Sherlock's pen pal and foreign aid. Sherlock once photographed some of the materials and mailed them to the doctor when he encountered some difficult cases, and he would be very kind to provide detailed answers.

Dr. Watson had written to Sherlock to help him take care of his children. Otherwise, he is likely to be taken "hostage-exchanged" by the Avalon authorities.

- Yes, Andre Watson's real identity, a spy.

And it's a spy who has long been exposed and put under Avalon's supervision.
