"James ......"

Hearing the name, Sherlock muttered under his breath and subconsciously looked back at Eivas.

When Sherlock's gaze met with Ivus, he realized that the two of them wanted to go together.

- Although strictly speaking, there are still quite a few people named James. And I haven't heard of Professor Moriarty having anything to do with the fairy queen...... But as soon as they heard the "spider", they all thought of Ivus's adoptive father at the same time.

To be on the safe side, Sherlock asked, "What are the characteristics of that 'James'?" ”

“…… Do you know him? ”

There's something strange about Grace.

I thought I would be interrogated about other things, but I didn't expect that Sherlock and Iwath's attention immediately shifted to that friend.

But Grace also apparently did not refuse Ivas their confidence - Ivas was an archbishop after all.

Although not cardinals...... But in the church, the archbishop is undoubtedly the one in power. Not even the archbishops, but the power and status of ordinary bishops are higher than those of them.

After all, the Church is a religious state ruled by the Church of the Nine Pillars of God, and the status of the transcendent person who dedicates the path is obviously much higher than that of other paths.

This is not a kind of corruption, because the church has been very clear from the beginning: because it is easy for the giver to give what he has to help others for the benefit of others, so if he does nothing, then the giver will not be able to do well in the natural social environment.

Therefore, as an artificial adjustment, the church is openly biased towards the devotee. It is to tell people that good deeds are rewarded. Even if it is for the sake of good retribution, it is better to do something good than to do nothing.

And the amazing thing is that from the standpoint of the church and the true devotee, this adjustment itself becomes a kind of "giving" - because it is tantamount to distributing the welfare of the true devotee to those who "do good things for the sake of good reward", and the devotees are happy to see it......

No elf would have a bad feeling for an archbishop, and their words are inherently powerful. This strength comes from the preservation of the honor of the archbishops and cardinals of the past.

Because of this, it is clear that as long as Ivas arrives here, he will cause them trouble, but Grace and his wife did not drive Ivas away, but warmly entertained them; When Ivas and the others reasoned about the truth, Grace did not deliberately interrupt them, trick them, mislead them, or attack them...... Instead, he appeared openly and told all the secrets, begging for Evas's mercy.

Because they all know very well that it is themselves who are wrong—at least in the elves' worldview, it is they who are wrong. They don't make bigger mistakes to cover up their mistakes.

“…… That friend and we have only met once, and our meeting is just a pure accident, and it can't be a conspiracy, because the lineage of the 'Moonlight' line has a strong sense of good and evil. Not only was that friend not only not malicious, but also had a strong desire to give. ”

But even so, Grace had a few more words to say about her friend. After all, the other party did give them a solution to the problem, and they couldn't just throw the pot on him and leave it alone.

Then, she answered Sherlock's question seriously: "He should be an old man, I can see the signs of aging." But I had too few human encounters to tell his exact age.

"But what I know for sure is that he should be a bearer. And like me, a transcendent person born with multiple paths and multiple paths, at least with the level of dedication and adaptation to the path, and the lowest level is also the fourth energy level. Even by the standards of elves, he must be considered a strong man.

"If you want to talk about features - sorry, I think humans might be a little face blind. But he looked elegant in a formal dress that didn't quite match the style of the fairy kingdom. And then he's been smiling. ”

The elderly, the multi-way, the dedication and adaptation......

…… Early death?

Ivas pondered, feeling that it was more likely.

His adoptive father was once a student of Cardinal Loki...... Is it possible that he learned the Spider Silk Secret from Loki?

But it doesn't seem quite right.

While many tantric books are condensed into a single skill, it is essentially a lineage.

Lily found a complete inheritance of the path of adaptation from "Spider Silk Secret". So when Lily saw Brim and Cardinal Loki, she sensed a special aura from them...... Because the essence of their power is the same.

However, Lily had been with Professor Moriarty for a long time, but she had not sensed the dense aura of spider silk from her......

"-That's not right!"

Ivus woke up suddenly.

Although half a year has passed...... But it suddenly occurred to him that it was really possible!

Because Lily only got "The Spider Thread" after the professor, or even Mr. Oswald, left! In other words, when Lily learned the Spider Silk Thread, she never saw the professor again.

"Spider Silk Continuum", after being thoroughly researched, seems to be able to steal other people's power or identity under certain circumstances. However, Cardinal Loki didn't use this skill much, and his elven body was given to him by Si Candle. Braim, on the other hand, stole the power of the Moon Child and then the Giant—and after he stole it, Cardinal Loki lost the ability to become a giant.

When Ivus killed Cardinal Loki, for a moment he thought it was going to be two phases: the elven body shattered, and the wildfire giant rose again.

As a result, Cardinal Loki really kept his elven body and died.

Instead, it was Brahm...... Not only did he become a wildfire giant, but he even lost his intellect and reason like a real giant in a rage.

If the adoptive father also had the power of "Spider Silk Secret", what would he use this power to steal?

Or is there any talent like "giant" or "elf" that is worth stealing?

“…… No way. ”

Ivus muttered.

Thinking of this, he realized one thing.

[—Mr. Ivas Moriarty...... My cute little key. 】

These were the words that Professor Moriarty, who had discovered Ivas's status as a promoter, had said to him during the last promotion ceremony.

He could have easily let Eivas go, but he didn't. Ivas thought it was a gesture of kindness at the time.

But now that I think about it, this "little key" may have a special meaning.

In the original history, Ivas died blocking a gun for the player, but Professor Moriarty, who was already insane at the time, was extremely angry.

Not incredulous, not sad, not shocked...... It's a rage.

…… What is he angry about?

Is it that they have a deep father-son relationship, so he can't accept the death of Ivus? Or did he feel that Evas's behavior of preferring to die rather than return to him angered him?

- But Ivas didn't think it was right.

Even if Professor Moriarty was insane, it was his adoptive father who made him tremble to the point of fear.

How could he have been furious for such a ridiculous reason?

On the other hand, Edward's consciousness was clear at the time. He has a good relationship with Aihuas, but why did he not react when he killed Aihuas, but his face was expressionless?

At that time, Ivus didn't know Edward's personality, and thought he was the kind of cold-blooded and ruthless iron-faced cool brother. Later, I found out that he was a brother who was cold on the outside and hot on the inside, and cared about his family. It's just that I'm too used to self-repression, accustomed to being silent, and feeling pain.

Is there a possibility......

The moment Edward saw Ivus block the attack, he was actually able to contain his strength - but he didn't?

He thought in his heart that it would be better for Ivus to die than to be captured, but he was completely obedient to Professor Moriarty's command, so he could only act at this time...... Give Ivus a treat.

…… Could it be that Professor Fei wants to steal Ivus's power?

But what power does Ivus have?

If the "Divine Entity" is a fragment of the Reincarnation Celestial, then the swamp man who houses the Divine Entity in the player's worldline should be the player himself.

But Ivas can be sure that in Moriarty's point of view, neither Freya, Edward, nor Yulia are as important as Ivas. He most likely wanted to steal some of Aihuas's "talent", but he was worried that his intervention would cause Aihuas to lose that talent...... So both in the game and in the reality that Ivas is experiencing now, he left Ivas after he became independent.

The more Ivus thought about it, the more strange it became.

He vaguely felt that he had grasped the key to a conspiracy - in addition to Huantiansi's eyeing of him, there were other conspiracies entangled in him.

So Eivas asked, "Lady Grace, I have a question......

"Since you still have the inheritance of 'Moonlight', can you take people into the fairy realm?"

“…… I can take one person at a time. ”

Grace was clever enough to immediately guess what Ivus meant: "I go to see Anastasia with Maxim almost every year. But in all these years, I didn't see that man again. I don't think he came back either. ”

"The last time you entered the Fairy Realm...... How long ago was it? ”

Ivas asked.

"Last April, almost a year ago. Because if you contact us too often, you might ruin Anastasia's sense of time. Once she realizes that a long time has passed outside, there is a good chance that she will be kicked out by the goblins...... So we generally look at it from a distance and rarely go over to say hello. ”

Grace immediately replied, "I only met Miss Janet there last year—she's a human too." It seems to be an Avalon as well. As for the old man, we've only seen him once. ”

"I hear you...... Does the Fairy Queen know him? ”

Ivus continued.

Sherlock looked at Ivus with some uneasiness.

He keenly sensed that Ivas seemed to be a little too stubborn on the subject.

"Yes."

Grace nodded.

"I want to meet the fairy queen, Lady Grace."

Ivus was silent for a moment, then replied, "I will be silent about Anastasia...... But I hope you'll take me to meet the fairy queen. ”

“…… Is this a threat? Grace smiled wryly.

"No, it's a request."

Ivus said earnestly, "I know the location of a fairy cave. If you don't agree, I'll have to go in on my own. ”

“…… You're alone? ”

Sherlock couldn't help but ask, "Will it be dangerous?" ”

Ivus scoffed, "It's dangerous to bring someone like you who has no sense of humor and can't look at children." I like kids, it's not a big problem. ”

"That'...... When are we going? ”

Grace clearly cares about Anastasia.

If she could, she would hopefully be as soon as possible.

And Ivas read her thoughts—and coincidentally, he thought so too.

"When was the earliest?" Ivus asked rhetorically.

"Two o'clock tonight."

Grace whispered, looking down at Neriam, the fairy sleeping on her hand, "Then I'll take this kid back with me." ”

"Okay, let's go tonight."

Ivus smiled, "Let's go back quickly, maybe catch breakfast." ”
