Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Talking Game

In the living room of Moriarty Manor, everyone gathered around the Nobel master.

The court alchemist was able to escape without incident...... Some people rejoiced in their hearts, while others were wary.

It's like what the consultant thought before-

The nationality of the Nobel Masters, at this moment, is not so friendly.

After all, he was born as a star antimony. When he left from Star Antimony, it was only because of a conflict with the high-level leaders of the Wang Li Alchemy Association at that time. Today, the former high-ranking people have long since passed away, and the current Star Antimony King Alchemy Association also has great respect for the Nobel master. He was invited to return to China several times.

Avalon has no academic atmosphere after all.

It can be said that Nobel is still in Avalon today, partly because the little old man is still angry about the events of the year, and more importantly, because he has opened several explosives companies and gunpowder companies in Avalon, which are quite profitable. Today, Nobel is already a top businessman in Avalon.

And if he leaves Avalon, return to Star Antimony. Then his career in Avalon will inevitably be targeted.

From this point of view, he can't actually go. At least personally, it was normal for Nobel to stay at Avalon – although the lack of academic atmosphere would make it difficult to promote his research career.

After all, the royal family of Avalon is very kind to him.

In the early days of his research, Queen Sophia provided him with ample funds and space. Now he can even enter and exit the Temple of Silver and Tin at any time, with more than 30 factories and research institutes built in various regions of Avalon, and the filing of various experiments is basically approved after submitting documents.

"—so I can't betray Her Majesty."

The stranger frowned, arguing: "How many alchemists are there in Star Antimony?" How many alchemists are there in Avalon? The 'Nobel Master' is the first person in Avalon, but what if I go back to Star Antimony? Then I am one of the many 'good alchemists'. I still know how to choose......"

In fact, under this huge pressure, he was already a little scared.

In particular, Ms. Shafiya's eyes were still shining, which made the stranger even more frightened.

Even if he doesn't know much about the authoritarian path, he knows that the superiors of the authoritarian path can take a lie detector. He could only tell what he thought was true in his heart—if he said something against his heart, he would be immediately discovered.

…… But this is really a disaster.

The stranger felt aggrieved.

He himself had seen his own introduction plot and knew that Nobel really had nothing to do with it. But he couldn't explain it clearly.

After those Star Antimony people came to Avalon, there were indeed people who came to see Nobel. Hoping to get him back to Star Antimony, he also told him that Valentin VII valued his research. But Nobel very decisively refused.

But the stranger had no idea that Lady Shafiya knew about it—her inspector had seen it yesterday and had written to report it. And now Starty's behavior is tantamount to declaring war on Avalon, and Nobel actually chased after Isabel...... So the matter changed in an instant.

"Say so, Master Nobel—"

Shafiya's expression was serious: "'I have nothing to do with the assassination of Her Majesty, and I have not revealed any secret information to the Star Antimony people, nor have I helped them in any act. ’”

So the stranger repeated Shafiya's words.

In this way, Shafiya's momentum was slightly weaker.

The stranger was so frightened that he sweated out.

He also regretted it a little - he didn't come if he knew it wouldn't have come.

But looking at it in front of me, it seems that it has passed the test......

However, his appearance seems to be a little incompatible with the Nobel master, who is said to have a strong and indifferent personality.

The stranger couldn't help but speak again, trying to twist his image so as not to reveal his stuff: "That's right, Star Antimony is my homeland. I still have a deep affection for Star Antimony, but ......"

"—But, you are as loyal to Her Majesty Queen Sofia as I am. Right. ”

Sherlock's cold voice came from the side, interrupting the stranger's words.

Seeing that Sherlock had regained his spirits, Shafiya's eyes suddenly lit up, and she paused the previous topic and turned her head: "Are you okay, Sherlock?" ”

"Thank you for your concern, Ms. Shafiya. The level of treatment of Lord Bishop is quite good. ”

Sherlock nodded reservedly, and looked back at the Nobel Prize again.

"It shouldn't be a big deal," he began, "but just in case...... Let me ask for myself. ”

"Do you need me to follow?"

Shafiya asked kindly.

She clearly has a lot of trust in Sherlock.

When Sherlock refused, he dragged Master Nobel back to Ivus's bedroom.

A breeze blew from his fingertips, and invisible waves of air rolled and spread—the soundproof barrier simulated by magic unfolded in an instant.

The next moment, Sherlock's eyes suddenly became fierce.

Sherlock's leisurely and rational tone suddenly became yin and yang: "Mr. Lorley, our great genius. You're doing well, and you've found out where Isabel is so quickly...... But how did you become so passive? Well? Do you like to be passive?

"I heard that you went to be someone else's blood slave in the last promotion ceremony - was it so passive that you became addicted to something, so you learned how to serve people? Why, do you want me to take your soul out and change you into a girl's body? ”

“…… Teacher. ”

When the stranger heard this familiar voice, he immediately realized the identity of the person in front of him.

His whole body wilted: "I'm sorry, I'm just ......"

"-What are you going to do if I don't come out just now?"

"Sherlock" interrupted the stranger again.

He squinted his eyes and said in a stern tone: "Lord Honorable Albert Lore." Answer my words. What do you want to do in the last two sentences? ”

“…… I just felt like I was too vulnerable. Not quite in line with the character of the Nobel master. If you wait for everyone to calm down and react, you may notice that something is wrong. So I just wanted to screw the image back a little bit......"

"—Drawing snakes."

The advisor interrupted him again with an atrodial idiom.

He snorted coldly and sneered: "It's like saying something wrong to the opposite sex and trying to make up for stupidity." As everyone knows, the more you want to explain at this time, the more annoying it becomes.

"Our great genius really lacks experience in interacting with people."

“…… Yes, Teacher. ”

The stranger opened his mouth, and subconsciously wanted to plead something.

But thinking of what the advisor had just said, he swallowed back the explanation that came to his lips and nodded honestly to admit his mistake.

"Hmph."

The consultant was pleased with the stranger's performance.

His attitude towards the youngest son of the Lorey family was mixed.

On the one hand, he has an irrepressible jealousy of his gifted student...... He felt that the stranger had a chance to reach the fifth level before the age of thirty, and even a chance to reach the legendary sixth level.

But on the other hand, he does care a lot about strangers. The advisor wanted to protect him well and lead him seriously...... Because he really didn't want this qualification to be null or go astray.

At the same time, the jealousy and fear in his heart hope that the stranger can always respect him.

"Listen up, great genius," the advisor said earnestly, "that Bishop Mathers you met is probably a 'fox'. ”

“…… Why? ”

"Because in this world, Ivas doesn't have such a good relationship with Isabel. Their relationship has never been announced. They are not even friends, at most collaborators. ”

The advisor replied without hesitation, "Only a promoter from the outside like us would think that Ivas and Isabel are lovers. That's exactly what they've been performing. ”

"I see...... So, do you want to work with him? ”

The stranger nodded, and suddenly said, "He's a priest—we need a priest, right?" ”

"You can also do without ...... Did you bring any medicine? ”

"Brought it."

"Then you don't have to. The potion you brought with you will suffice, and this ritual will probably not have any undead that need to be dispelled by the priest. If we take him with us, it may increase the probability of our exposure. ”

Speaking of which, the advisor reminded, "Also, I'll tell you some information. We split our memories and wrote them down as soon as we left the promotion ceremony. After that I'm going to find a way to find the 'olives', and we'll probably be separated soon." If you see Aurora, remember to give her this information as well. ”

Give the same piece of information to multiple people to remember...... This is done to minimize the impact of memory blurring.

The stranger understood the advisor's intentions and nodded.

Although the details of the world will change due to special variables, the details outside of the variables are the same as in the real world. It is essentially a special, one-off simulation environment.

Because of this, whether the script for a promotion ceremony is in the past or in the future, it can provide some useful references – not necessarily 100% correct. But this information is definitely not available to them through normal channels.

"First of all, Iwas's relationship with Isabel is actually strained. They may indeed be lovers, but they are essentially closer to power couples because they both have strong personalities, which makes it difficult for them to get along, and this is also an opportunity for us.

"Queen Isabel is really good at acting, and she has a tough wrist and is very aggressive. And Ivus can defect, and if something happens to Star Antimony, we can try to move the Psychic Tower to Avalon.

"Also, the royal family of Avalon holds a ritual called 'Shadow of Avalon', which is why Queen Sophia has remained silent about the curse, as it is necessary for the ritual to be initiated. This ritual can resurrect Lancelot I of the sixth energy level under special conditions, and we need to investigate this ritual. Here are the known conditions for the ceremony......"

The advisor carefully passed on all the information he had gathered to the stranger.

"Aihuas and Queen Isabel are not in the same group, and if the Psychic Tower is in danger, they will go directly to Aihuas, and they will seriously investigate the Shadow of Avalon ritual......"

The stranger listened quietly, his lips squirming silently, and he read in a low voice to reinforce the points he had summarized.

The Stranger's memory of Dream Intelligence has his own unique skill - this is how he passed back the experience of Valentine I during his last promotion ceremony. In this respect, he is more skilled than his own teacher advisors.

There are too many details of the intelligence to memorize them all, so we can only summarize the main points. Remember the main points first, then the details.

Rather than just going through it in your head or seeing it with your eyes, you will remember it more clearly if you "say it yourself".

- Okay, remember all three of the most important ones!

The stranger was reassured.

At least this is the most important information, and the stranger is sure that he will never forget it!
