Chapter 112 The Death of Moriarty

After making the tea, lawyer York took off his suit jacket. He was only wearing the thick brown plaid shirt inside.

He didn't look like a lawyer at the moment, let alone a senior executive of Lloyd's. He looked like a friendly uncle next door.

After serving the tea, York sat opposite Aiwass.

He crossed his fingers and placed them on his chest, and said in a low voice: "But in fact, I don't think that Prince Lloyd is the so-called 'shame of the royal family'-he may not regard himself as part of the royal family. I am more inclined to think that he is a hero. A hero who shakes authority and shakes the royal power.

"The path of authority is like a shackle. Those who walk on this path cannot disobey the orders of those who are higher up. It is strict and cruel, like an ant hole and a beehive. The knights can't do this, but they may not want to do it.

"No one wants to be a slave to the power of the Tao. The Silver Crown Dragon tells you to be loyal, disciplined, rule-abiding, and orderly, but do we really have to do so?"

Lawyer York whispered: "Have you ever thought about how Prince Lloyd, who was born in the common people, saved Lloyd's from being eaten by the royal family?"

Evans raised his eyebrows and remained silent.

He vaguely guessed what Lawyer York wanted to do. So he didn't speak, but showed a little doubt and curiosity on his face.

"It's very simple. Because the existence of Lloyd's is the common will of the knights of the Round Table Hall; it is a symbol of the word merchant, and countless people maintain Lloyd's."

Lawyer York spoke slowly, whispering the unknown secret: "To this day, more than 60% of the knight families of the Round Table Hall have at least one direct member who secretly joined Lloyd's. We share secrets, and secrets are a sharp blade.

"Do you think the royal family doesn't know about this? No, they know, but they can't do anything. Lloyd's prospered because of the power of the royal family to share profits, but now the royal family can no longer take that power back - because the times will eventually change, and we will move forward. "

"...Why are you telling me these things?"

Evans was silent for a while, and then hesitantly asked.

York lawyer slowly stretched out his left arm to Aiwas, palm facing up.

The next moment, the bottom of his pupils suddenly overflowed with amethyst-like pure light. The skin on his forearm wrinkled and bulged, and squirmed like a snake.

The next moment, four pure black headless and scaleless snakes suddenly emerged from under the skin of his wrist -

It was a snake-like monster as thick as a finger. It had no head, and there was only a hole in the front part, which was filled with dense sharp teeth. It was like a snake with its head cut off, and it was also like Leeches with mouths wide open.

The monster raised its head, swaying in the wind like an unconscious vine.

Lily immediately responded, her eyes stern as she was about to step forward. But Aiwass immediately shook his head and signaled her to step back, so the silent maid continued to stand steadily behind Aiwass.

But her expression was more serious than ever, and the backs of her hands showed green spider web cracks, which were glowing faintly.

Lawyer York just smiled gently, looked at Aiwass and said slowly: "Do you know how Prince Lloyd won the heart of Her Majesty Marlena back then?

"Because he is also a talented poet. There are a few lines in his poems:

"--One day, I will break free from these lead shackles;

"I will rise with the smoke, free as the wind;

"I will have a shining day, as bright as the stars, as bright as the moonlight..."

Before York Lawyer finished speaking, a dialog box suddenly popped up in front of Aiwas:

[York Hermes is teaching you "Breaking Covenant", do you want to pay 48 public experience to master this mysterious skill?]

The art of breaking covenant is a mysterious skill of transcending the way, especially emphasizing the transcendence of the authoritarian way. It is used to break oaths, break free from shackles, and get rid of tracking. It is the cunning of those who have promised but decided not to follow. Technology.

No. Aiwass answered in his heart without hesitation.

This skill is not very meaningful, but learning it may pollute Aiwass's ability pool. Different mysterious skills may conflict with each other... Aiwass has no medicine now and cannot take risks.

And these 48 points are too expensive-this is just an ordinary-level mysterious skill, but it requires so much experience. You don't actually understand it yourself, right?

You didn't just recite this paragraph, did you?

Aiwass complained in his heart.

But York's behavior has proved his position. So the lukewarmness and confusion on Aiwas's face disappeared without a trace, and he became calm and low, as if it was just a performance before.

"...Skinning Demon? "

Aiwas asked back.

This is an unpopular familiar, not as high as the lower demons and the same level as the demon dogs. It is a small demon that can be created by demonologists. It is not very aggressive and is usually used to torture or interrogate others. The size and thickness of the stripper can vary, which allows it to drill into or wrap any part of the human body. Wingdings: ♦︎♦︎⬧︎♦︎◆︎⌧︎♦︎♦︎□︎❍︎

When it crawls, those sharp teeth with strong stimulation, like bee stings, will inject weak toxins. These sharp teeth can easily break inside the human body, and are difficult to pull out like the thorns of a cactus. It will bring people strong and lasting pain, and it is easy to damage the dignity of others.

It can hide a large number of familiars in its body without being discovered...

This is a unique feature of the fourth-level demon host.

It is not a demonologist, but an advanced profession of a demon.

The biggest difference between a demon and a demonologist is that the demon and his companion demon are almost completely integrated and difficult to separate. If you want to advance to the level of a demon, you must first obtain a phantom demon egg - but the phantom demon in the egg is a dark attribute demon.

Before they became supernatural beings, they were said to be "demon-possessed". Compared with phantoms of other attributes, demons like to manipulate the host's body and are more likely to hurt or even kill others when they lose control. And if they are persuaded by the demon in the body to enter the path of transcendence, they can reach a consensus with the phantom demon in the body and enter a state of companionship.

Because of this, the demon can no longer summon other demons. They are also unable to study rituals and the knowledge of controlling demons, because the demons in their bodies will prevent them from mastering the power to threaten themselves, and the interference of dark attribute magic in the brain will reduce their intelligence.

But if the devil can withstand the oppression of the devil, remain rational and advance to the demon-giver, the positions of both parties will immediately switch.

The demon-giver completed the transcendence of the "demon". The devil no longer loses control from time to time, and the devil can no longer control his body. The Demon Emitter can accommodate more demons and can carry a large number of familiar-level demons within its body. As the level increases, it can even accommodate a second and third demon.

"——You are the Demon Bearer, right."

Aiwass said without hesitation.

Hearing this, Lawyer York opened his eyes in surprise.

He withdrew his left hand, and the Food-Flaying Demon in his cuff was taken back.

"Your knowledge of demonology astounds me, Aiwass."

Lawyer York sighed: "You are the only one who can recognize the demon-giver at the first level among all the fellow practitioners I have ever met."

"I see, is that why you suddenly called me away?"

Aiwass raised his eyebrows: "Because you recognized that I am also a transcendent person who transcends the path."

"Under the influence of authority, we transcendents should all help each other."

Lawyer York smiled all over his face and said very naturally: "Because we are the same type of people, let me help you find an organization.

"Of course, there is another reason besides this..."

He said, pointing to Aiwass's left pocket: "If you have higher authority, you can also sense that."

Aiwass reached into his pocket and touched it. Immediately.

——That is the "Noble Red" ring.

"Of course, don't worry."

York quickly lowered his hands and explained with a smile: "I know you should have got the ring from Veronica. But we don't want to ask about this kind of thing here - anyway, you are also a traveler on the road beyond. Right? You were introduced by them, and you can be regarded as a new member they recruited. It is normal and completely fine for the new members to get the tokens of the old members after killing them.

"If you hold it, you are also a member of the Noble Red Order. That's what I said."

"……I see."

Aiwass finally understood.

It's not that Lloyd's and the Noble Red Society have reached an agreement... but that the top management of these two organizations overlaps in a sense!

"You said that more than 60% of the Knight family members join Lloyd's."

Aiwass was silent for a while, then suddenly said: "Does this include 'Moriarty'?"

Hearing this, the corners of York's mouth raised slightly.

The middle-aged man with deep wrinkles on his face showed a vague smile: "What do you think?"

"Let's end this charade."

Sitting in a wheelchair, the platinum-haired young man whispered.

Even though his status and abilities were lower than those of the middle-aged man in front of him, he had no intention of respecting him at all. Aiwass extended his right hand to York, and his palm slowly cracked. A faint purple light is lighting up in Aiwass's palm - this is a symbol of his current state of mind and the resonance of the transcendent path, and it is also an unfriendly action.

Just like pulling out the knife slightly, or pressing your hand on the holster. Not necessarily threatening, but showing an attitude.

To those of other paths, this may be offensive. But only for the transcendent path, this is a confirmation of determination, which means the recognition and practice of the transcendent path.

Lawyer York smiled with satisfaction and replied readily: "Yes. Professor James Moriarty is of course also a member of our Lloyd's Association."

"After all, he is a businessman, and one of the few big businessmen on the Glass Island. How could he refuse our invitation? However, he is not a traveler on the Beyond Path, so he has not joined the Noble Red Society."

"In that case, with my father here...it seems you don't need to invite me anymore, right?"

Aiwass said unceremoniously: "Because the Moriarty family has stood with you."

York is clearly recruiting himself.

Even though he didn't say a word clearly, his wishes were conveyed very clearly.

——The suspected leak of intelligence put a lot of pressure on him. York desperately hoped that Aiwass could join Lloyd's, preferably before the "vice president" arrived.

"In that case, let me tell you some information in advance."

Lawyer York smiled proudly: “This is exactly the meaning of our Lloyd’s existence——

"According to reliable information, Professor Moriarty disappeared two days ago. Although the body was not found, bloody clothes were found. The divination result is that James Moriarty is dead.

"If nothing unexpected happens, the news of his death will be reported back to Avalon in a week."

The middle-aged lawyer, who also has the last name Hermes, showed a kind smile that disgusted Aiwass: "This is not a threat, but a suggestion. After all, neither you nor Inspector Edward are his real children... and Mr. James died too suddenly and did not leave a will.

"That means that your inheritance will encounter resistance. But it's good for you to join Lloyd's... Compared with your adoptive father, we prefer you, a fellow traveler walking on the path of transcendence."

-Huh?

Aiwass almost laughed out loud.

You mean, James Moriarty is dead?

Haha, I don't believe a word of it.

... Of course, this information itself may be true. But Professor Moriarty is not so easy to die, and the divination result may not be accurate. This is 100% fake death, just to get out of the situation in Avalon.

——That mysterious guy, but the final BOSS of version 6.0, how could he die inexplicably in such a corner where no one knows?

However, even if he knew that this was a fake death, there may be many other people who know it. But even if it is just the identity of "James Moriarty" who died on the social level...

It also means that the situation in Avalon is about to be unstoppably turbulent.
