When Sherlock woke up and called Ivas "Moriarty", Ivus's heart skipped a beat.

- Something seems wrong.

Ivas knew Sherlock well. This great detective usually has no sense of boundaries in doing things, and when he is interested, he likes to do something on his own. When you're done, you don't explain what you're doing. When he talks to his friends, he usually calls them by their first names or even by their nicknames...... On the contrary, only when speaking to strangers or people of high enough status will they maintain distant politeness and reserve.

…… Of course, when Sherlock was pretentious and weird, he would occasionally call him "Mr. Moriarty" slowly.

According to the CG, Ivas is even closer to Sherlock than to Isabel in this world. That's why Ivas directly calls him Sherlock, in order to prevent himself from being discovered by the too perceptive Sherlock that "he is not the Ivace".

Before the meeting, Ivus was actually very jealous of Sherlock.

This kind of friend who is too smart, too sensitive, and too suspicious is too familiar with himself, so that he will be exposed in front of them if he is not careful. In particular, the world itself has the ability to disguise others or change other people's perceptions, and being suspicious is not all wrong, but can only be regarded as cautious enough.

He even thought about whether he might just knock Sherlock unconscious. When he woke up, he was knocked unconscious again, and so on...... Then send him directly to the church to complete the mission.

As long as you don't contact and communicate with Sherlock throughout the whole process, you will never be exposed in front of him.

…… But soon, Ivas realized. The same things he feared were true of Sherlock.

But just the phrase "Moriarty" doesn't mean there's something wrong with him.

So Iwass went one step further.

Sherlock should have known that Minister Drost might be going to attack Princess Isabel. In the process of Sherlock's torture, it is obvious that he has already clarified this matter, and may even know the truth - with Drost's flamboyant personality, he will most likely show off this matter, and even say something "Isabel is dead" to put pressure on Sherlock.

So Eivas deliberately changed the subject and mentioned "Shafiya". Let Shafiya speak up and say she was right next to her.

Sherlock must have known who Shafiya was.

Therefore, when Evas mentions Shafia, and Shafia speaks in a relaxed manner, he should be able to immediately guess that "the princess may not have been killed". And with Sherlock's loyalty to Queen Sophia, he would 100% force his body to ask Shafiya what was going on.

Even the Temple of Silver and Tin had exploded - how could he be so calm and not even in a hurry?

Of course, a very small possibility is not ruled out...... That is, Sherlock had already guessed in advance that Isabel was still alive, so he was not in a hurry at all.

So Ivas made a third temptation.

He told Sherlock to "stop thinking". But Sherlock, as a third-level lawmaker and a third-level mage, should have a "spiritual disorder" syndrome. His overpowering ability to think made it impossible for him to stop thinking. Even if he has barely adapted to the disorder, it is definitely more relaxing for him to think than not to think.

So the moment Sherlock really stopped thinking - Ivas was sure that it was definitely not Sherlock.

- He can only be an "advisor".

A Wisdom Path Ascendant from Star Antimony, a mage of the third level.

But Ivas was not relentless.

Although killing the other party directly in the dark is the most conservative option, it is too inefficient. It is completely impossible to give full play to the intelligence advantage.

Now that the identity of the other party has been locked, and he has not exposed himself at all...... Then, even if you don't plan to use the other party to complete your mission, you can use him to pass on some false information or dig some holes for the Star Antimony people.

The smarter a person is, the more he will trust the information he has gathered and the more he will trust the conclusions he has drawn by his own reasoning. It is rare for someone to directly overturn all their views and start all over again when logic has not reached a dead end - especially on the side of false intelligence, where the logical chain is complete and the evidence is sufficient, but a large piece of logic is missing on the truth side.

However, if you want to plant some false information, Ivas alone is not enough. It also needs the cooperation and support of Isabel.

So Ivas thought about it in his heart, and took Sherlock back to Moriarty Manor.

Isabel was hiding behind the curtains at the moment, looking in the direction of the Temple of Silver and Tin.

"Evas!"

When Ivus and the others returned, Isabel immediately greeted them happily: "Are you alright?" ”

She was talking to Professor Moriarty in the living room when she suddenly felt a slight earthquake.

Isabel hid behind the curtain and peeked in, and found that it was the Silver and Tin Temple that had exploded—not only did there be a violent explosion, but the entire palace was gradually engulfed in flames.

Although Ivas brought Oswald and Shafia over...... But after all, there are two orthodox fifth-level transcendents over there, and Ivas can't summon the Daredevils yet.

She was worried about what was going on with Ivus, but she knew she couldn't do anything in a battle of this magnitude...... So she could only stay calm. Do your best not to get yourself into trouble with Ivus.

But it is clear that the dialogue cannot continue any longer. She really didn't have the energy to worry about Ivas and was distracted from Professor Moriarty to learn some more mystical knowledge.

Fortunately, there has been no death knell, so Isabel can barely stay sane.

"I'm fine."

Ivus winked at her, "But Detective Hermes may have a problem - he's badly injured. I needed to find a quiet place to concentrate on his treatment. ”

…… Hey?

Hearing this, Isabel was slightly stunned.

Ivance's Treatment ...... Still need to be in a quiet place?

From the first time he met Ivas at the promotion ceremony, Ivas showed that he was a healer - not only was his healing ability unusually stable, but he could use either hand.

Later, in the attack on the Inspectorate, Ivas alone saved the entire Inspectorate. Isabel also learned later that it was a special ability called "Flame Butterfly" by Eivus, which could instantly heal a piece of people.

Isabel immediately read Ivace's hint - it was most likely that he had something to say to herself, and that he needed to avoid everyone.

But Isabel gave Sherlock a cautious look and whispered, "Can I go with you?" I'm also worried about Mr. Hermes. ”

She usually calls Sherlock directly, but now she follows Ivas to replace "Sherlock" with "Hermes" without a trace.

Ivus nodded and reminded, "Yes, but keep quiet." Be careful not to wake Sherlock. ”

The tacit understanding between Isabel and Ivas made her immediately realize what Ivas meant.

- There are whispers to be said, but avoid Sherlock.

Sherlock has a problem!

He's the old man called "Advisor"!

Isabel's instincts told her that her guess was mostly fine.

Then she suddenly felt a creepy and tingling of her scalp - the good friend who had known her for a long time was now the soul of another person in her shell. And he is pretending to be the identity of the other party, playing the other party's words and deeds, trying to deceive himself.

Just thinking about it made Isabel feel a little scared.

“…… Come on, Your Highness Isabel. Just come to help me too. ”

Ivas smiled and said to her.

Isabel understood the subtext of Ivace - to fool him with me.

I see, I found out the identity of the other party but did not kill ...... Is it for this?

- If it's just acting, I'm very confident!

Isabel was reassured.

She nodded politely to Shafia and Professor Moriarty, and followed Ivas to his bedroom.

The mystical knowledge that Professor Moriarty had told her could be told to Ivas at any time...... It's never too late to wait until the promotion ceremony is over.

Now Isabel is still busy with business, Isabel thought to herself.

But then another thought popped into Isabel's mind—

Since he is an advisor to the Star Antimony people, he will come as a mage Sherlock......

Yulia's mentor, Master Nobel, is an alchemist; Those two court ritual masters also happened to be spell mages who had transcended the path.

Will they become "strangers" and "olives"?

Thinking of this, Isabel, who hadn't even seen these people, was a little more vigilant in her heart.
