Chancellor Droste took Ivas to Queen Sophia's bedchamber.

Even Diomedes didn't enter the house - he stood guard outside the door, not letting anyone approach.

It's been less than an hour since the queen died, and it's still full of life. It's just that the maids and guards have been removed, and they look a little empty.

Sherlock certainly wasn't imprisoned here, after all, there were windows here.

Considering that Drost didn't want Sherlock to be found, he was probably in the underground ritual room right now. In order to prevent outsiders from influencing the ceremony, the ritual room was isolated from the inside and outside.

Therefore, even if Sherlock is used for divination, foreknowledge, or similar rituals and prayers, it is difficult to pinpoint his exact location. And it's still underground, so it's hard to run with him even if you want to. Just place the trap in the ground, and you don't have to worry about accidentally hurting your own people.

The reverse is true - since this is the most suitable prison cell, given Sherlock's importance to Drost, he will most likely be locked up here.

As for putting it outside, that's absolutely impossible.

As a regre, Drost is already full of hatred. Not only a few of the great-character transcendents, but even the knights might want to kill him. It is not impossible that even an elven butler suddenly rushed out and killed him.

So until the dust settles, Drost will only hide in the Temple of Silver and Tin. At least there is protection from the Star Antimony people here.

But the Queen's Bedchamber must also have some meaning.

Drost is a man with a deep mind, and there is no way he can do something useless.

And when Ivas saw Drost enter the door and close the curtains, but not turn on the electric light, he almost laughed.

He could even be sure that Drost's next move would be to walk to the tea table and light the lamp.

It was the table that Isabel usually used for snacks and afternoon tea. It is also the place where Ivas and Yulia play cards and chess.

Isabel usually eats afternoon tea in her study, sometimes in a doll's house, and sometimes in her bedroom.

Like other girls of this era, Isabel loves to play with dolls. She has her own doll's house, a collection of 1:12 miniature palaces, and hundreds of dolls. From knights, kings, and princesses, to dragons, griffins, Pegasi...... There's even a pocket wine cellar, a pocket study, and a pocket round table.

It was originally a doll's house shared by the children of the entire royal family, but now Isabel is the only one.

And on this lamp, there is a "real fire" for detecting lies. Unlike the psychological pressure of the silver model used in the arbitration hall, this lamp is deliberately confused. From the outside, it looks like a normal oil lamp, only brighter.

It is a trick used by the queen to detect lies when inviting important ministers to talk.

Later, Ivas felt that there was no need...... With Sherlock and his brother here, there was no need for such means. So it was removed.

…… Obviously, Drost knew about its existence, which showed that Queen Sophia trusted him very much. Otherwise, the queen would not have been able to tell him the secret.

But this trap is of no use to Ivus.

Not kidding, Ivas is probably even more familiar with the Queen's bedchamber than Queen Isabel.

After all, Isabel is still quite busy as the queen.

Every day when she wakes up, she always has something to deal with. For example, he presided over a round table, or discussed some government affairs with Hermes, the minister of the Privy Council, gave interviews and attended events, and met with some important people. Or practice singing, drama, painting, musical instruments, acting, sculpture, and turn around every day.

When she's in the bedroom, she's either painting, playing the piano, or reading a book or sleeping. She probably hadn't even noticed the pattern of the bricks on the walls of the Queen's bedchamber.

Ivus is different.

He often touched it and curled up in Isabel's quilt for a nap.

- Of course, he has a room of his own. But Isabel's room is better-lit, more spacious and more ornate.

Of course, it may simply be someone else's quilt that is more comfortable to sleep on. Just like the cat food in other cat bowls tastes better.

And Isabel is the queen, which can be regarded as a kind of overnight stay in the dragon bed - it sounds very exciting, with the smell of a powerful minister. It is especially fragrant to sleep. Anyway, it's been more than a month since they confirmed their relationship, and Isabel doesn't dislike him.

When Ivus wakes up, he will leisurely make his rounds. Flip through her to order snacks to eat, or see if there are any traps or treasures hidden by the craftsman in the room, or just ask Yulia to come over and play chess and cards together. Otherwise, it's a chat with the Queen's Guards and practice speaking Elven.

He even studied how to approach the windows of the dormitory from the outside, and set up an enchantment outside the windows with the queen's guard...... Even the ventilation duct Ivas made a special trip to climb around.

So now that Iwass listened to Drost's words, he felt like laughing.

- No one knows the Queen's bedchamber better than I do.

Ivas had even deceived the Great Guardian in the face of the True Fire. Drost is unlikely to use it well.

Thinking of this, Ivas already had a new plan in mind.

Sure enough, Drost pretended to be natural and lit the candle.

"It's a little dark." Ivas pretended not to know what he was doing, and casually mentioned it.

But Minister Drost just kept a straight face and shook his head solemnly: "You don't want to be known by people outside, we have a secret conversation in the queen's bedroom, right?" ”

"Are you still afraid of this?"

Evas asked rhetorically, half-earnestly, half-sarcastically.

"You don't know, Your Excellency."

Droste just pretended to sigh: "I'm ...... now Standing on the edge of a cliff, precarious. ”

"No, I know."

Ivas said lightly, "I even know that the Star Antimony people plan to kill you once they have used you. ”

The candle flame did not shake.

Seeing this, Drost was suddenly startled.

He didn't resist saying things like "this can't be done" and "you come up with evidence", obviously having a similar conjecture in his heart.

Therefore, he was silent for a while, and made a gloomy and fierce expression: "Your Excellency, you are ...... Where did you know this information? ”

"Don't scare me, Minister Drost."

Ivas smiled, undaunted: "Where did I know, you know it yourself.

"The economic situation at Star Antimony is worse than you think. They simply can't afford to pay what they are asking for...... I don't want to give you a knighthood or a manor.

"The internal forces of the Star Antimony Kingdom are seriously divided, and neither side can afford to pay this price. If they dare to bring it up, they will be dragged down by the other two companies through the public opinion of Star Antimony. And they want to control Avalon, but they don't want to destroy Avalon...... So you, Minister, will be cleaned up by them when the dust settles.

"I guess you'll be abandoned as an outcast to please the Avalons."

The cardinal said slowly.

Drost's sweat was running down his sideburns.

Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the candle and saw that the real flame was still not shaking.

“…… How did you know that? ”

He could only repeat what he had said before. But the tone was no longer so hard, but softened a lot.

Ivus didn't panic.

He just crossed his fingers and looked at him with a smile. His face was full of banter and pleasure.

Seeing that Drost couldn't help but get nervous, Avasca said casually before the other party broke out, "Do you know Emma?" ”

“…… Which Emma? ”

Drost's heart jumped, and he could only pretend to be calm and calm and say.

"Hongxiang's 'daughter', his first secretary. The man behind the noble red, and also the docking person between the noble red and the rose cross......"

Ivas said with a smile: "The incarnation of the succubus, the world's famous star...... How many more names would you like to hear from her? ”

Chancellor Drost's pupils shook.

There were some names in them, secrets that he had only recently had access to; There are also some names that even he doesn't know.

And Ivas not only knew this, but also knew the attitude of Star Antimony's side towards him.

This made Chancellor Droste blurt out: "You are Countess Emma's man?" ”

- So Bishop Moriarty is an ally?!

Ivas just smiled and shook his head.

"It's not 'I'm her man,'" Ivas said word for word, "right...... It should be said, 'She's my thing'.

"Every day she lies quietly in my arms, her magic flowing between my fingers, her fragrance wrapping around me. I can summon her whenever I want. It's just that...... Hehe, it's not convenient to show you. ”

looked at Ehuas, whose attitude was almost arrogant, and the corners of his mouth were raised with pleasure.

Hearing this, Drost was silent for a while.

He looked at the candle flame.

The candle flame remained motionless.

- Is the real fire broken?

The thought crossed his mind.

So Drost took the idea of testing and said in a deep voice: "Don't talk about this, Bishop Moriarty. You're here for Sherlock, right? It's a pity...... The Great Detective has been killed by me. ”

As his words fell, the candle flame began to shake violently for a moment.

…… It's not broken, is it?

Realizing something, Drost looked at Ivas with some horror.

So if Ivas is telling the truth......

Evas was more than an ally of his.

- He is basically his own leader, a superior, and a supervisor!

Thinking of this, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

It turns out that the Star Antimony people have long planted spies in Avalon that are more stealthy than themselves...... Now that he has successfully assassinated Queen Sophia and can no longer take half a step back, the other party finally reveals his identity.

Seeing Evas's expression as he looked at him with a smile, Droste immediately reacted - his temptation had already been seen by Evas.

The True Fire is Avalon's top secret, and Ivars has absolutely no idea. So he could only see through his lies.

“…… No, please forgive me for lying just now. Sherlock wasn't dead, I just locked him in the ritual room...... Please save me, Your Excellency! ”

Drostead fell to one knee and bowed his head to Ivas like a knight saluting Queen Sophia.

There was no trace of the leisurely and pride of seeing Ivas from the outside.

He didn't care about his dignity at all, but pleaded earnestly: "I actually felt it before...... Because His Royal Highness the Prince looked at me incorrectly, it made me very uneasy. ”

It's like looking at a dead person. It made him uneasy.

And now, at last, he got a reason from Ivas to make him feel uneasy.

- The Star Antimony people want to pay their debts! Eat both!

This hatred made Drost grit his teeth.

The monarch of Star Antimony clearly vouched for himself. It is said that they Star Antimony People will not be like Iris People, who will be discarded as garbage if they have used people......

I really didn't throw it away!

They even want to put their waste to good use—

It's so hateful!

Hateful than the Irises Man!

"Your Highness Lucien...... I really can't hide my anger. ”

Ivas squinted his eyes, leaned forward slightly, tapped the arm of his chair with his right index finger, and said calmly, "You guessed right." But how to solve it depends on your sincerity. ”

"I have 150,000 gold coins here......"

"Do you think I'm short of money?"

Evas interrupted Drost.

Without waiting for Droist to speak, he said to himself: "Of course, I am not short of women. In the same way, I am not short of power. ”

“…… So what do you want? ”

Drost gritted his teeth, realizing that this seemingly young man didn't seem to be so easy to fool.

…… Wait a minute.

Seemingly young?

He froze for a moment, realizing something.

Countess Emma certainly couldn't obey Ivas Moriarty. The last time she came to Avalon, Evath hadn't even been born.

As someone who had never left Avalon, it was unlikely that Ivas would know the secrets that these Star Antimony higher-ups knew.

At the same time, Ivas's tone did not seem to be that of a gentle and tolerant priest......

…… But if he is not Ivas Moriarty?

Drost looked at Eivas's meaningful and dangerous smile, and suddenly a chill ran down his spine.

An amber craftsman who can stuff one person's soul into another's body.

The black phase of Star Antimony's generation is the most skilled amber craftsman!

- And among the two top transcendents who arrived in Avalon this time, there was a disciple of the Black Phase!

Realizing this, Chancellor Drost was shocked.

He's not Ivus!

Then it all makes sense!

Seven thousand five hundred words, updated complete!
