Chapter 30: A Remembrance Called Forgetting

"Rude, Mr. Diomedes."

After dealing with the matter about Leah, Ivus, who suddenly had a daughter, seemed a little reserved.

He nodded slightly at Mr. Diomedes, who had been hanging on his side for a long time, and apologized softly: "I'm a little busy with my own business......"

And not because Diomedes had been "transferred" to himself, he was as indifferent to him as Minister Trost.

Diomedes didn't pay attention to Ivus's previous self-talk - although Ivas could talk to Leah in his heart, there were some things that had to be said before he could be sincere.

Texting "I love you" and hugging and whispering "I love you" are very different from the emotions and messages conveyed.

But this guardian elf with a national character face looked at Aihuas with a somewhat complicated look at him at the moment.

"Mr. Bishop, you ...... Who the hell is it? ”

He finally couldn't help but ask.

He could clearly perceive the path of devotion in Aihuas, and Aihuas was indeed a true bishop. It is for this reason that he will be loyal and obey Ivus.

However, after a slight pause, Diomedes still added: "Of course, if you are not convenient......"

"I'm 100 percent Aivus, but I used to know Miss Bayard. But whatever my status, that doesn't affect my respect for a papal guard. Thank you so much for standing with me just now. ”

In front of the trusty guardian elf, Ivus told the truth more truthfully.

He really couldn't say it anymore...... It's not that I can't believe it, but if I keep talking, I won't be able to come back. After all, the Aihuas of this world line just don't have the adaptability to transcend the path.

“…… It's not that it's incomprehensible. ”

Diomedes was silent for a while, then sighed: "I didn't expect that four hundred years have passed...... You can hear the name again from Moriarty's mouth. ”

"Miss Bayard's deal with the Moriarty family...... What is the specifics, can you tell me, Mr. Diomedes? ”

Ivus asked earnestly.

They had been talking about it just now, but Ivus interrupted the conversation.

It's not that he's afraid of revealing the stuff - under the deliberate misdirection of Aihuas, it is unlikely that Minister Drost will recognize that he is a promoter and directly fight back.

The main reason is that Droost was alive and standing by their side at that time, and Ivas happened to be able to kill him at any time, so it was really difficult to restrain the killing intent in his heart.

It's like a mobile game that has updated the story content of a new version, but before experiencing the story, you will feel your hands tremble when you see the card pool that has just been refreshed and has been waiting for a long time. I can't calm down to push the plot at all.

Especially when the guarantee has been saved, and I know that I will definitely ship it if I send ten points.

- I must click on it now! I can't control myself anymore!

And after completing his gacha mission, killing Droste for the third time, Ivas finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Now it's comfortable.

Clearly, Mr. Diomedes thinks so, too.

Although he and Drost have some feelings - after all, they have been together for eighty or ninety years, and they used to have a very good relationship with master and servant. Even if the relationship has long deteriorated, it is still a little embarrassing to witness the other party turn into ashes.

But fortunately, the disgust is now greater than the nostalgia.

Seeing Diomedes, he breathed a sigh of relief, and the whole person visibly became relaxed.

"Absolutely."

He replied briskly.

Although that thing has something to do with privacy.

But since Ivas can know the existence and identity of Miss Bayard, and can even use the mirror as a medium to transform into Miss Bayard...... This shows that the relationship between them should be very intimate.

Diomedes, who has lived for hundreds of years, certainly knows this ability.

This is the special term "illusory blood" given by the Twin Mirrors, which allows a person to use the mirror to become a mirror image of another person, or even another race. But this change certainly did not come out of nowhere...... For the Twin Mirror to give such an entry shows that he is content with the intense dramatic conflict between the two, and therefore wants to see a new development in the displacement of identities and positions.

Presumably what Ivas said he had seen Bayard before...... I guess I saw her at the promotion ceremony.

She was indeed a very attractive woman, and it was normal for Ivus to be unforgettable.

"At that time, the empire had not yet dissolved. The first 'Moriarty' was very old, while 'Drost' has been passed down to the second generation. Moriarty feared for the family's future, so he made a deal with the Bayard family......

"It's complicated, and I don't know what Bayard got. Oswald didn't tell me all about it. But I remembered the most crucial one.

"The Bayard family is a family of cursers steeped in love and transcendence. Curse to bind the direct descendants of the Moriarty family. When they carry the surname 'Moriarty', the child will be forgotten by all the other 'Moriarty' after a certain achievement.

"This is to prevent a certain generation of Moriarty from losing his original intention in the future, so that this surname, which represents atonement and forgetting, will deteriorate. As a result, every 'pure-blooded Moriarty' in the future will not be able to give birth to their own children, and if they accidentally give birth to each other, they will not be able to carefully train them to become heirs. Otherwise, you will forget about each other. ”

Hearing this, Aihuas's eyes suddenly widened.

He immediately thought of something and blurted out: "That...... Do you remember Freya? ”

"Of course I remember, what's wrong?"

Diomedes replied casually.

But he quickly realized something: "You mean ......"

"It seems that Mr. Oswald did not mention this to you."

Ivus sighed.

In that case, I'm afraid they've all forgotten Freya...... It wasn't because of what the adoptive father had done or because of some conspiracy that she erased their memories.

It's because Freya is the biological daughter of her adoptive father, so she triggered the bloodline ban and forced her into exile!

Each generation of Moriarty inherits the family, and other Moriarty of the same generation is stripped of their surname. Ivas had always felt that this rule was too blunt and unapproachable...... Now he finally understood.

- It was not ruthless, but it was to get rid of the shackles.

Therefore, the blood of Moriarty in Freya's body can only come from James Moriarty.

Even Diomedes didn't know Freya's true identity. That can only mean one thing - she is the illegitimate daughter of her adoptive father, James.

So here's the problem.

Does the adoptive father know about this?

…… Can't guess.

Ivas had no memory of Freya at all, so he couldn't tell.

But Eivus's instincts told him that his adoptive father seemed to remember Freya......

Could it be that James did do something with him, but his purpose was actually to remember Freya?

The solution of a doubt brings deeper doubts.

And at this very moment.

Diomedes suddenly looked at him and stopped in front of Aihuas: "Be careful! ”

The flame butterfly on Ivus's shoulder didn't react.

- I saw that the next moment, a blue-white illusory door suddenly appeared on the wall.

Shafiya walked out of it with Oswald.

She still held Sherlock, covered in bruises and unconscious, in her arms. Oswald, on the other hand, was wrapped in a circle of white threads of light, and they floated beside the old elf. It protected him like a chain suspended in the air.

"The plan went well......"

She was about to say something when she saw Diomedes standing in front of Eivus. Immediately raised vigilance.

At this moment, Oswald reached out and pressed her shoulder.

"It's okay."

He said.

At a glance, he could see where his old friend stood now.

I don't know exactly what happened, but there's no need to dig into it.

He opened his mouth and briefly explained to Diomedes and Ehuas: "The Queen's blood has been obtained, and Hermes has managed to save it. We're going to get ready to evacuate. ”

"Activate the ritual or evacuate?"

"Evacuate first."

Shafiya quickly replied, "They haven't bothered us, I'm a little worried about ...... over there."

"—I have finally found you, Your Excellency the Grand Inquisitor."

Before he could finish speaking, a low but furious voice rang out.

The next moment, the surrounding walls were instantly filled with blood-colored runes. Not just the Queen's Bedchamber, but the entire Silver and Tin Palace was stained with this ominous dark red. They act like cages that lock up the space around them.

Ivus's heart tightened subconsciously.

That's the ritual of the Demon Scholar!

Demon scholars who have been prepared for a long time can often exert combat power several times their true strength in the ambush place!

But soon, Aihuas's heart was relieved again.

Listening to this one, it seems that he is just chasing Shafiya......

Ivas glanced at Oswald. Seeing Oswald nod slightly, he confirmed the matter.

- He didn't know about Oswald's existence!

So he wouldn't know about Diomedes' backlash either-

Isn't that ......

Three to one for justice!
