Chapter 1027 The Original Hermes

"What's up?"

The Lord of Scales and Feathers appeared at the door at some point and waved his hand to the three people inside: "If it's okay, I won't go in yet... Otherwise, the child will turn into a phantom under my pressure."

——Sure enough, the Lord of Scale Feather knows about this!

Aiwass suddenly understood, but felt inexplicably normal.

This is quite reasonable... What secrets are there in this world that can be hidden from the Lord of Scales and Feathers who watches other world lines every day?

And judging from what the Lord of Scale Feather meant, he seemed to appreciate Haibasa's persistence and hard work.

"Boss, I just want to ask..."

Aiwass confirmed: "What should we take with us to resurrect the child?"

"That can't be said."

The Lord of Scale Feather said with a smile: "This is a taboo of sand timepieces. That old man is very serious, and I don't want to be lectured by him."

Even though he said that, he looked very relaxed. Just leaning against the wall, talking lazily.

Seeing the strange reaction of the Lord of Scales and Feathers, Aivas felt blessed and blurted out: "Then...

"'What do you think Lady Hypatia will need to resurrect her daughter'?"

"Then it depends on how far the resurrection goes."

The voice of the Lord of Scales and Feathers was low and thick, like a gentle elder: "To be on the safe side, I suggest you bring all five. But the most important thing is 'Saffron'."

"Why crocus?" Aiwass asked.

"Why... hmm. You asked a good question."

The scale-feathered Lord's voice was full of smiles: "Each of these five flowers has its own story...well, none of them are very good stories.

"There is no need to say more about the other four - do you know the legend of 'Crocus'? An apostle of Sand Time once threw a Frisbee in the material world out of boredom. As a result, he missed and accidentally killed an elf. The youngest son. The child who was innocently beaten to death was called Crocus... This name is the name of 'Saffron'. Yes, he is the original Crocus.

"At that time, the heavens were extremely powerful, and the gods were not allowed to walk on the earth. The apostles, as representatives of the pillar gods and Tiansi, were exceptions, but they were also strictly required to restrain their power... At that time, they were still called ' Congshen'. Whether it is Zhu Shen or Tiansi, they are their main gods. In that era, the image of Congshen was the image of the main god, and the voice of the Congshen was the voice of the main god.

"Not to mention killing innocent people without any reason... Even saying things that are not in line with the Lord God's wishes or doing things that damage the image of the Lord God may be punished by one's own Lord God.

"The apostle was worried that he would be punished, so he turned the child's body into this flower in an attempt to hide his crime... Of course, he failed.

"In fact, this apostle was once the most trusted apostle of Sand Timepiece. He was the patron saint of inventors and businessmen. In that dark age, his altars and temples were everywhere. He was also responsible for guiding the souls of the dead...those If a dead soul is lost on the road, he will guide him to the underworld. In that era before the Wild Hunt, he was one of the few gods who took the initiative to clean up the dead."

"But even so, the small crime of killing a mortal by mistake was still severely punished by Sand Clock. He was deprived of his identity as an apostle, lost his memory and was reincarnated as a mortal. Under the arrangement of Sand Clock, he He reincarnated into the home of the child he killed and became their youngest son..."

Having said this, the Lord of Scales and Feathers suddenly stopped talking.

The Lord of Scale Feathers looked at several people meaningfully: "Do you know the name of this apostle?"

Sherlock and Yassen looked at each other, shook their heads, and then looked at Aiwass.

If Aiwass, who had studied advanced divine arts, didn't know it, it would be even less likely for them to know it.

Seeing that the three of them didn't react at all, they didn't even have any instinctive warning. Then the Lord of Scales and Feathers laughed with satisfaction and gave the answer: "His name as an apostle in the past was Mercury. This name may be unfamiliar to you... After all, he had been stripped before the birth of mankind. Apostle's Responsibility.

"——However, you must know his name as an elf. And he is very familiar with it..."

Having said this, the Lord of Scale Feathers paused and then said: "His name is... Hermes.

"The 'Hermes' of 'Sherlock Hermes'."

There is no doubt about it.

He is the ancestor of the Hermes family.

Hearing this, Sherlock's eyes suddenly opened wide.

He had heard that... there was a trace amount of elven blood in his family's bloodline.

But seeing that none of his family members showed any obvious signs of immortality, Sherlock never cared about his "trace" elf blood. The only thing that may be related to the blood of elves is probably Mycroft's overly strong twilight desire.

In Avalon, which pursues the path of authoritarianism... With a minister who is directly subordinate to the monarch like his father, and who is smarter than Sherlock, it stands to reason that Mycroft is on the path of authoritarianism, the path of wisdom, or the path of balance. They should have strong adaptability. But he somehow possesses an overwhelmingly powerful adaptability to the Dusk Path... This should be an atavistic characteristic.

"...but I am the path of wisdom."

Sherlock didn't know what his thoughts were, but he suddenly defended: "I am not born on the path of balance..."

"——What a coincidence, isn't it?"

The Lord of Scales and Feathers leaned against the wall and laughed happily: "Mercury was on the path of wisdom before. Before he was reincarnated as an elf, he was a Winged Mage who followed Weizhe... and as a Weizhe's apostle, he also has a son who is now more famous than him, who is now Hui Tiansi.

"Hermes, who was later born into an elf, was catching up with the end of the Dark Ages. The poems recited by the madwomen of fools in the past were written by him; he was also a follower of Dionysus, With Hypatia and Selene.

"However, the thing that concerns you most here...is actually another thing."

The Lord of Scales and Feathers stopped talking when he said this.

And Sherlock is so smart.

He had already guessed the truth.

"..."The Tantra of Foolish Songs."

Sherlock whispered.

He finally understood...why Hypatia told them the story of Dionysus the Fool in such detail.

And why did Sherlock become so lonely and sad after he commented that "the fool who worked hard all his life to deny the 'generalization of God' was revered as the god of wine after his death?"

And... why would she entrust the rescue of her daughter to the three of them at the same time.

Needless to say, Aiwass's identity, Lily also had to learn the "Egg Moon Tantra" at that time and split out the old body "Selene" that was abandoned by the eternal self. He is the only one who seems to have nothing to do with this matter...

Now, he finally understands.

"——That's right!"

The Lord of Scales and Feathers snorted twice and let out a joyful laugh at a good show: "The book "The Tantra of Foolish Songs" was written by Hermes and Hypatia together."

"...I can't possibly...be the reincarnation of Hermes, right?"

Sherlock's voice was dry.

"certainly--"

The Lord of Scale Feathers drawled: "No. If you don't become an apostle again, the only outcome of entering the dream world is that your soul will be broken... and turned into the material of a newborn baby."

At this point, the Lord of Scale Feather just smiled and said: "But that's not necessarily the case? After all, that was Hui Tiansi's father, the god who taught him to lie.

"Or maybe, for him... death itself is a lie?"

Before Aiwass and Sherlock could ask questions again, the Lord of Scales and Feathers waved his hand:

"——Okay, you have been dreaming for long enough. It's time to wake up."

The next moment, the three of them felt the ground shaking.

Aiwass only had time to grab the two treasures and hug the most critical "Magical Girl Crocus" before he lost consciousness; the other two people also grabbed the dolls and tried their best to grab the things at hand. , and lost consciousness at the same time.

Watching the world around him gradually return to level as if "swallowed", the Lord of Scales and Feathers still stared at Hybasa's studio.

His face without facial features seemed a bit silent at the moment.
