After a friendly tug, Yunus led the way and welcomed Ehuath into the house.

Behind him, Sherlock was slightly behind until he was parallel to Ivus.

The corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he whispered a little narrowly, "Noticed, right?" ”

Ivus just looked forward at Yunus's back and didn't look back at Sherlock: "Naturally. ”

Sherlock was referring to the fact that Yunus had recognized Evas's identity.

This is not surprising.

Although Yunus has always been active as a chivalrous man, it has been a long time since he became Prince Albert...... But he was active in Avalon after all. In other words, although it is not known if Yunus has ever returned to the Glass Island on the way...... But he could definitely see the newspaper.

Yunus also left Avalon at the earliest after Queen Sophia's death and Isabelle's official inauguration as queen.

That is, he must have known about Ivas as the only minister close to Isabel when he ascended the throne; And he'll know that Ivas is Avalon's minister.

…… The only problem is that it is highly likely that the father-in-law will also read the news about "Miss Alest".

The long-standing scandal between Ivas and Aleister...... This was the first hot spot in Avalon before Her Majesty's death.

The news itself was a means used by Ivas to distract the Avalons at the time. Although Isabel knew that Aleister was Eivus, she didn't react much...... But others apparently don't know.

In their opinion, Isabel was stealing Ivas into a cronie and herself a man with the mysterious and noble Miss Aleister.

At the time, Sherlock didn't think it was a good idea. And now Ivas will be in a little trouble - or retribution - for what he has done, so he will only smile and gloat at him.

If it weren't for the fact that there are too many strangers here now...... If it were just him and Ivace, Sherlock would probably be circling around Ivus, playing the violin and singing the Avalon anthem.

But Ivas was unfazed.

He just looked sideways slightly, looked at Sherlock, and asked softly, "Did you find anything?" ”

"Yes."

Seeing that Ivas wanted to talk about business, Sherlock immediately regained his serious expression: "I didn't go back yesterday just to confirm my conjecture......"

With that, Yunus welcomed them into the inner chamber. It was a living room-like room with a huge, TV-like white crystal screen. It looks a little bit modern.

A young elf couple was sitting at the tea table, and the tea on the table had not yet moved.

They don't look very old.

If you look at it from a human perspective, I'm afraid it's not even thirty years old...... Even at the rate of aging of elves, it is at least not middle-aged.

Among them, the man was wearing a moon-white mage robe, round glasses, and a gentle and elegant temperament. The wife wore a goose-yellow dress and white stockings, and a flower-like hairpin on her head. If you don't look at that mature temperament, but only look at her appearance and dressing style, it is possible to even think of her as a student.

Seeing a large crowd enter, the elven couple stood up politely and nodded to the crowd - mainly to Ivus, who was dressed in the archbishop's red robes.

"I'd like to introduce you to two of you, our outstanding talent at Avalon, known as Ivas Moriarty! Gentle and handsome, he is the idol of thousands of young girls, and the Son of the Moon during the imperial period also fell in love with him, and even had a relationship with Her Majesty the Queen, who was only nineteen years old——"

Yunus enthusiastically introduced Evas to them.

Ivas nodded slightly, and corrected with a gentle smile: "The previous ones are just scandals - but the relationship with Her Majesty is real. In fact, Isabel and I are already engaged. ”

Hearing this, Yunus suddenly got stuck for a moment.

The corners of Sherlock's mouth on the side couldn't help but rise, but he quickly pressed back with a straight face.

And immediately afterward, Ivas took over the conversation: "This is my friend Lily, she will come with me to teach the kingdom and protect me; Sherlock's detective must have known each other already...... He received a letter for help from Mr. Yunus and came to me to bring him. Now he lives in my dwelling. ”

"Archbishop Moriarty."

Obviously, compared to Yunus, the couple has a higher recognition of Ehuas.

The male mage walked over, put his right hand on his chest, and nodded slightly at Ivus: "I've heard about your deeds these days. I think you're doing the right thing – we all think so. ”

Aihuas also walked over politely: "I don't know your name yet......"

"I'm Maxim Digger. This is my wife, Grace Deadleaf Butterfly. ”

Master Maxim introduced the two of them: "Mr. Yunus has come to find my daughter Anastasia Moonlight...... He said that it was in Avalon a few years ago that he had rescued Anastasia and was grateful to her. But in fact, Anastasia had already been planted twenty years ago.

However, he took out Anastasia's token. And we took a look at the information and found that it was possible that he knew Anastasia...... It's just weird. So Mr. Yunus invited the well-known detective Mr. Sherlock. ”

When he said this, he also smiled: "But in fact, this matter is not important, but it is a little magical." After all, Anastasia's soul had already entered the Land of the Giant Tree, and my wife and I happened to be free. That's why I decided to look into it...... It was a pleasure for us to get to know you more than that. ”

Grace smiled at Ivas as well, and gave an iris lift-up, though Ivas didn't quite understand why she wore a short skirt.

When he heard their last names, Sherlock covered his forehead, visibly feeling a little headache.

In this day and age, only elves have such a strange custom: the family can have completely different surnames, and they all sound strange.

Because the surname of the elf is the name of the specific inheritance, it must have meaning, so it can only be transliterated and cannot be transliterated; Children's talents, hobbies and specialties may not be inherited from their parents, so most parents will not pass on their inheritance to their children.

On the other hand...... Because elves are immortals who mainly play the inheritor mode, they usually have multiple paths for each of them. In another sense, the surname can also be used to quickly determine the general path of the other party.

The last names of these two are not too rare, and Ivas studied them in the Avalon Library.

For example, the inheritance of rock digging is based on the wisdom path, and it also requires the level of the dusk path; The withered leaf butterfly is the inheritance of the three paths of adaptation, beauty and dusk, and it also requires a considerable level of dance skills.

If you know the other person's surname, you can basically know the other party's personality, strengths and preferences; But this does not mean that Maxim cannot have the adaptability and transcendence of the path of devotion or even beyond the path.

Although the surname of the elf is not decisive, it does have some reference value.

And Ivus also understood why the two of them were so kind and even respectful to him: "Are you opponents of the Controlled Fire faction? ”

"That's right."

Maxim nodded: "Our family is all elves of the 'homeland faction'. Controlled fire for those people...... Leaving aside the fact that they are extreme or advanced, but at least I don't think they have done anything practical. It's just a slogan. ”

"Homestead?"

Sherlock on the side looked at Ivas with some confusion.

He came here yesterday, but he didn't talk to him about this kind of topic at all.

But Ivus shook his head, signaling that he didn't know.

He remembered only a few of the most well-known—or perhaps the most capable factions of the Church: the Inquisitionists, the Mediators, the Monuments Restoration Society, the Market Watchdogs.

After the split of the church in the original plot, it was these four forces that quickly completed the initial secession. Coupled with the controlled fire, it became a five-party force that was hostile to each other in the Church. The player has to take the Holy Maiden and then brush up on the favor of these four forces, and the controlled fire belongs to the most powerful red monsters.

Among them, the center of the judgment is the faction that is now putting pressure on Star Antimony, and they are the extreme papal faction. The main responsibility is to punish other small countries that have angered the church...... Most of the Papal Guards are from this faction, and therefore the most effective church faction in the Church. The Queen's Guards sent to Avalon, as well as the Guardians of the Founders' Family, almost all came from this iron-blooded faction.

The mediators are mainly those who like to persuade the elves.

They are present in elves of all ages and classes. Among the Church of the Nine Pillars, these people are the largest in number.

From wars to fights, they will take care of each other when they see it. They advocate pacifism, but the downside is that they always have a sense of superiority over the long-lived species—many of the contradictions of the short-born species seem to them ridiculous and unimportant, just as humans treat cats and dogs fighting in groups. Although it does.

Hence their hostility with other factions, mainly because they tried to "mediate" and ended up pulling themselves in.

The Monuments Restoration Society may be Cardinal Matilda's faction, after all, she is in charge of "guarding the tomb"; But it is also possible that the cardinals of the sixth and seventh rings are in charge.

This is the most conservative force within the Church, and the faction most hostile to the controlled fire—those who are disgusted by the short-lived reformation of the Church and the rejection of professionalization.

As for the market watchdog, Ivas is now certain that this is the faction led by Cardinal Cyril.

- Because Ivas now knows that he is the only cardinal in the church who understands rituals.

These overseers specialize in combating the trade in the population of various sapient beings, human tissues, and occasionally dangerous ritual materials. This is not for the sake of "heavenly sin", but simply to reduce the benefits of killing.

Ritualists as a whole can do more with more powerful, intelligent, and long-lived biomaterials. Therefore, failure to combat the trade in such materials is tantamount to encouraging killing. If you kill someone, you can chop up the body and sell it to a ritual master or necromancer at a high price, which is equivalent to increasing the slayer's income. And most people can't sell it one-to-one, so there will naturally be middlemen - the profit space is extremely huge.

It is even very likely that a criminal black profit chain will be formed, as a downstream industry that will help other gray and black industries destroy their corpses. The profits generated from this may feed back to the upstream industry, obtain a stronger umbrella, and even secretly cultivate powerful ritual masters, curse masters, and necromancers.

Cardinal Cyril is a great wizard himself, and he knows a thing or two about rituals and curses. As a result, he will be able to know which material is valuable – and he will be able to prescribe the right medicine if he investigates it in reverse. This is equivalent to reducing the power of his own lineage, which reduces the benefits of murderers and evil organizations around the world...... For him, of course, this is also a kind of dedication.

Without the efforts of the overseers, I am afraid that the noble red, which has received an adequate supply of ritual materials, will be much more difficult. Generally speaking, however, Overseers are primarily active in the Kingdom of Sabbation and the Kingdom of Star Antimony.

When he first heard that Master Maxim was hostile to Cardinal Loki, Ivas thought he was a member of the Monument Restoration Society.

In the face of Aihuas's question, Maxim also nodded: "Yes, I did originally belong to the Monument Restoration Society. But I realized later that there was no point in being conservative...... Thanks to Cardinal Valrhona's teachings, I realized how my life can be used to make the most money. ”

"Can you tell me about it?"

Ivus asked.

"The Homestead is the sect of the Church to which Cardinal Valrhona belongs...... Cardinal Valrhona is the steward of the Third Ring, whose supreme proposition is 'the most enduring and sustained dedication is construction'. ”

Maxim enthusiastically introduced – or rather preached, to Ivus: "Your 'Temple of Silver and Tin' in Avalon was built by Cardinal Valrhona. The same goes for the other elven-style buildings...... Even the orphanage, nursing home, and church school in Avalon were built under our auspices......"
