Chapter 148 Oswald's Departure

"...How did you do it?"

After checking Yulia's condition and confirming that she was indeed healed and the phantom demon in her body had disappeared, Oswald half-knelt in front of Yulia and whispered in amazement: "This is simply a miracle.

"I think everyone should have some little secrets of his own, right?"

Evans sat in a wheelchair and chuckled behind Oswald.

Oswald has lived in the human world for at least five hundred years, and it is difficult for Evans to deceive him.

It would be better to just say "I don't want to tell you". Anyway, the message conveyed in the end is the same, and this is actually more friendly.

Unexpectedly, Oswald was very satisfied with Evans' answer.

The old elf stood up and put his hands behind his back. On his face, as old as an ancient tree, he showed a somewhat stiff but sincere smile.

It looks like a wolf with a cracked mouth.

"Of course, Master Evans. Everyone can have their own secrets. "

Oswald nodded slightly and sighed: "You have grown up, which is good. If the master is still here, he should be very happy."

"What did father do?"

Evans asked seriously: "He has not been seen for so long. I also heard some..."

"Not very good, right?"

The old elf continued.

Evans nodded: "I heard that father may be in danger. But he did not leave any contact information when he left, and I can't confirm whether this is true..."

Yulia, who was holding her puppet "Mr. Dad", tilted her head and made a puzzled sound: "Danger?"

Oswald sighed softly.

He avoided answering this question, but said to Aiwas: "You can take Miss Yulia to school now.

"I think this should be what you have been looking forward to for a long time."

"Indeed..."

Yulia answered softly.

But she asked with some concern: "What happened?"

The girl is very perceptive and smart. Even though he lacked relevant life experience, he could still realize what the old butler Oswald was worried about just by being familiar with his family.

"Because I'm going on a long trip, Miss. Avalon might be a bit chaotic during this period, and it should be safer for you to live in the dormitory."

Oswald explained patiently.

"You're going on a long trip too?"

Aiwass raised his eyebrows, and then quickly realized what he was going to do: "Are you going to find your father?"

"Yes."

Oswald answered honestly: "In fact, I received the news of the master's death from official channels. But I don't believe it - I firmly believe that he is not dead."

"Do you have any way to contact each other?" Aiwass asked.

"Almost," Oswald nodded, "As the guardian of the Moriarty family, I can sense the approximate location of each 'Moriarty' at any time. If the distance is close enough, I can confirm the other party's status."

So, he used this ability when analyzing Yulia's body just now.

Aiwass suddenly realized.

Oswald obviously didn't know much medical skills, nor did he have the healing ability of the dedication path. Otherwise, it would not be Aiwas' turn to treat Yulia.

But the old housekeeper only touched Yulia's forehead slightly, and he felt that the phantom demon in her body was indeed eradicated.

This should be the reason why Oswald was able to find Aiwas in time when he was taken to the alley for sacrifice.

"I sensed that the master's position has been moving. Although it is very slow, he basically did not stop for too long."

Oswald said in a deep voice: "Although it is also possible that the body is being moved... but there is even a way back. So I wonder, could it be that the master has been imprisoned and is being transferred? Or is it that the professor chose to fake his death in order to expose certain people and secretly investigate something?

"But in any case, I think the master is in danger at the moment. He is very likely to need my help now. "

At this point, Oswald looked at Yulia: "But at the same time, I must protect you, which is also my responsibility.

"Master Edward no longer needs to be taken care of. The Royal Law University is the territory of the great arbitrator, and it gathers the descendants of two-thirds of the knight families. Many arbitrators will patrol at night. Therefore, Master Aiwass, you don't need to worry.

"But only Miss Yulia... As a phantom egg before, she had to hide her identity. Therefore, she couldn't go to school with you, and could only stay indoors every day on the pretext of being ill."

At this point, Oswald looked at Yulia.

She sat aside with her puppet in her arms, her eyes wide open. Her eyes seemed to be shining, that was her excitement and expectation.

As she wished.

Oswald announced: "If I stay at home, I can indeed protect Miss Yulia, because Miss Yulia has nowhere to go. Only I can protect her.

"But since Miss Yulia is no longer a phantom egg and can go somewhere else, I must now complete another duty of mine-I'm very sorry, Miss."

"It's okay, Mr. Oswald."

Yulia said seriously: "I also want to go to school with my brother!"

Aiwass thought of another thing and asked from the side: "Who knows that Yulia is the egg of the phantom demon?"

"Even though I have been purchasing Hypnos decoction, no one has clear evidence that Miss Yulia is the egg of a phantom demon. So you can claim that she only had to use Hypnos because of a strange disease. He was given Stupa and is now well under the treatment of Bishop Mathers."

Oswald patiently taught Aiwass how to speak, although he did not need to teach Aiwass how to speak: "If someone asks Miss Yulia why she never comes to school, you can say that she is withdrawn and unwilling to meet. People. This way, your secrets won’t be exposed.”

"I'll pretend to be withdrawn!"

Yulia raised a hand and said seriously: "I will never expose my brother's secret!"

Aiwass touched his chin.

In other words, almost everyone in the upper social circles of the kingdom knew that Yulia was most likely the egg of a phantom demon. It's just that they chose to remain silent on this matter because of Professor Moriarty's relationship.

...Strange, did I overlook something?

Aiwass always felt that there was a bit of dissonance here.

If the adoptive father adopted him and Yulia because he had no biological children, he needed an adopted son to inherit the family business...

So Yulia, as a phantom egg, theoretically cannot live long. Why did Professor Moriarty adopt her?

However, Oswald's temporary absence from this matter can be said to be both good and bad.

The advantage is that it is easier to lure those people from Lloyd's. Aiwass's suspended animation plan will also become more powerful.

But in this case, Aiwass needs to find a stronger protector for Yulia. It would be difficult for Edward alone to protect Yulia, or even take care of her daily life.

Unlike Aiwass, Lily can accompany Aiwass to school because of Aiwass's special physical condition. This was specially approved by Her Royal Highness the Princess.

However, Yulia obviously could not bring her personal maid with her. Her maid must stay at Moriarty Manor.

When Aiwass and Lily are both there, Lily can help take care of Yulia. But when Aiwass fakes his death, Lily will accompany Aiwass to fake his death - which means that Yulia will become a human being.

Even if the security level in the school is good enough, Aiwass still can't worry about her.

At this moment, the shadow of another person appeared in Aiwass' mind.

Princess Isabelle.

She should be able to help with this.

"Then when do you plan to leave?"

Aiwass asked Oswald.

The old butler replied: "If possible, the sooner the better."

"Then Yulia, just come with us. In that case, we have to prepare to go back to school now."

Aiwass nodded, turned around and explained to Yulia: "There is no railway between the Red and White Queens, so Lily pushed me directly there before... Fortunately, the distance is not very far, and it takes about two miles to walk. About an hour. Find a place to rest in the middle, it will take about three hours to get there..."

"About that," Oswald added, "it might as well be less troublesome.

"Your current wheelchair was somewhat deformed due to an attack. Although it was repaired later, it still looked a bit unseemly. So I used your body shape information and found an elf craftsman I knew to customize a new wheelchair. It is very comfortable. The functionality has been improved, and a miniature pistol is hidden inside for personal protection, and a Candlestick Holy Emblem is built-in to facilitate the use of divine spells.

"I have put it in the Inspector's Court now. You can take the car directly to the Inspector's Court and let Lily pick up the wheelchair and take you back to school. When you go home after that, you can just take the car back. There is a spare one at home. wheelchair."

"...I'm really sorry to trouble you."

Aiwass was a little apologetic: "But in fact, my body is recovering well. It may take another half month to a month to return to health."

The final exam will be in half a month, and it is also the second promotion ceremony for Aiwass on the path of dedication.

Before that happens, Aiwass has to sort out the Lloyd's problem. Only in this way can Sherlock escape from suspended animation.

After being promoted, they will go to Haina's hometown together. It will definitely be inconvenient to use a wheelchair on rural dirt roads or deep mountains and forests... so Aiwass can no longer pretend.

It just so happened that Lily would be following Aiwass at that time, so the Shadow Demon could be stored in her shadow. Before the winter vacation is over, Aiwass's path to transcendence will be advanced again - by then Aiwass will truly be free of his wheelchair.

In other words... the wheelchair customized by Oswald can be used for less than a month if it is fully calculated. This is why Aiwass did not ask for a wheelchair before.

Although his family is not short of money now, he still subconsciously thinks about saving as much as possible.

"Just because your legs and feet are healed, it doesn't mean you can't sit anymore. Those elderly people in wheelchairs may not be able to walk."

Oswald said with a smile: "Sitting in a wheelchair makes it easy for people to ignore your threat; even if a priest with bad legs and feet is rumored to be very romantic, people will think that he is an ascetic monk. Humans versus the strong There is always hostility. But if a strong person is weaker than them, it will easily turn into admiration."

Hearing this, Aiwass subconsciously felt guilty.

...He always felt that the old housekeeper had something on his mind.

And he may not be referring to just one thing.
