Chapter 149 Diomedes's Advice

With the help of the old butler Oswald, they quickly packed the things Yulia wanted to bring.

This time is not just going to school, but essentially moving - Moriarty Manor will obviously not be safe enough until Oswald comes back. So under Aiwass's persuasion, Yulia brought everything she wanted to bring.

But unlike other eldest ladies of the same level, Yulia did not bring too many clothes and jewelry.

What really takes up space are her tool bags and material boxes. Aiwass didn't even let her bring many of those books. The library at Wangli University of Law was the largest library in Avalon. Even Professor Moriarty's private collection is not as good as the restricted books in the university library.

Yulia only brought a few more advanced special research books in the field of alchemy, and a few reading notes related to university knowledge.

Fortunately, when Yulia was studying, she organized them into categories. She easily found the notes she had taken while studying college knowledge on her own - she had brought all the notes from her freshman year to her junior year, including ten thick volumes. It was taller than her calves.

In order to help Yulia "move", Oswald also came with her.

After recovering from health, Yulia was visibly full of energy, or rather excited - like a primary school student before a spring outing, chattering non-stop in the car.

The only difference was that Yulia's noise was quite valuable - she and Aiwass talked about the world of dreams, astrology, and tarot in one breath, starting from extraordinary career planning and promotion ceremonies, and she regretted not bringing the astronomical telescope with them. Then we talked about elixirs of life and plant breeding from alchemy, as well as Avalon's land policy and economic taxation.

That is to say, Aiwass is knowledgeable enough to follow Yulia's topic.

She had almost no social experience - all her knowledge came from books and newspapers. But she had seen enough and had a good enough memory that she was almost a search engine.

Yulia can even remember the day when Aiwass first appeared in the newspaper and what was said in the newspaper that day - Aiwass himself had forgotten what the report was about. Anyway, he basically talked nonsense that day...because he didn't expect that he would be stopped by a reporter from the "Glass Steps Newspaper".

The girl's cuteness brought a rare smile to the old housekeeper's face as old as an ancient tree.

In order to get a wheelchair for Aiwass, they first went to the Inspectorate of Red Queen. It's very close to King's Law University, just on the same street.

The wheelchair was placed directly in Edward's office. Aiwass and Yulia were waiting in the car to chat, while Lily followed Oswald to the Inspectorate.

This is Lily's first time entering the Inspectorate.

When she got the tantra book before, she went to the Inspectorate of White Queen District. It was already evening, but the Supervisory Bureau was still very busy - supervisors wearing half-armor were walking around, and from time to time someone would go to the Griffin Terrace at the back door of the Supervisory Bureau and leave on a griffin.

There are also people who are flipping through a lot of documents, calculating something, or calling their colleagues from a distance, and then discussing something that Lily can't understand at all.

Before that, Lily's impression of the Supervision Bureau was that it was "the one responsible for arresting people." But then, she finally realized that they were also responsible for collecting taxes—even tax issues were more difficult to solve than security issues. The Supervision Bureau gives people the impression of being busy... almost everyone has either a frown or a serious face.

At that time, Lily was even worried that she would block someone's way and kept walking aside. She looked so aggrieved. She didn't look like she was here to receive a reward at all, but more like a prisoner arrested by Haina.

But the atmosphere of the Inspectorate is completely different from that of the Inspectorate.

Generally speaking, the feeling here is "cold".

It's only 3:30 in the afternoon, and I haven't gotten off work at all. But the spacious corridor was empty.

The mirror-like clean floor reflected the shadows of the old housekeeper and Lily, and their footsteps echoed in the corridor. There is a slight sense of terror.

"...Mr. Oswald."

Lily whispered: "Why is there no one here? Are they not at work?"

"If the Inspectorate is as busy as the Supervisory Bureau, something big will happen."

The old butler clasped his hands behind his back and said calmly without looking back: "The work of the Inspectorate is to examine whether knights and officials are loyal, morally deficient, and whether they have accepted bribes or betrayed the queen. Then there is the monitoring of spies from other countries... and infiltration. Other countries become spies.

"There are so many rooms here, and each room may be undergoing examinations and interrogations, or they may all be empty. For those businessmen, an increase or decrease in the number of officials being examined can become a factor in their decision to buy or sell stocks. Intelligence. 'Is anyone being censored?' is itself a secret.

"For this reason, every room in the Inspectorate is equipped with soundproofing. When the door is closed, you can only hear the sound if you knock on the door."

The old housekeeper saw that Aiwass valued Lily very much, so he was trying to impart some experience to her. It just so happened that he actually liked this very sensible and motivated human girl...at least she was much better than Haina.

He stopped, pointed to a door and said, "This is Master Edward's office, remember?"

"remember."

Lily nodded and replied, "I can come here to find Master Edward."

"right."

Oswald replied simply.

He knocked on the door, and the inside and outside were connected instantly - just like a blocked ear suddenly became clear, Lily clearly heard the voice inside suddenly paused. It seems that there is more than one person.

"Is there an emergency?"

Edward's cold voice sounded: "I am dealing with some affairs. There is a chair at the door."

The implication is that if there is no emergency, wait outside first.

"It's me, Master Edward."

Oswald's voice sounded.

After a while, Edward opened the door.

He looked quite serious, but he became more relaxed after seeing Oswald.

"Are you here to pick up the wheelchair, Mr. Oswald?"

Edward asked.

Oswald nodded and looked into the room. There were two other people in Edward's office besides him.

One of them was a red-dressed blonde woman who looked to be in her thirties, but still mature and charming.

The other was an old elf with a rare square face.

"I had some good news to tell you, but you have guests here, so it's not convenient."

Oswald said slowly: "Remember to go home tonight."

"I'll try."

Edward nodded.

He turned back to the woman and ordered: "Go, Madam Red."

"You always throw this kind of offensive work to me, dear Inspector General... There are no good people in Lloyd's."

Madam Red complained, but did not refuse: "Okay, who made me a hard laborer. However, if I disappear on the way back for unknown reasons, you must remember me next year."

"I will remember you every year, go." Edward said ruthlessly.

The moment she passed by Lily, Lily suddenly felt that time seemed to slow down.

Her perception suddenly became sharp-I always felt that she seemed to have seen this person from somewhere.

... Red?

Could it be...

Lily thought of the Red Lady of the Path of Love in the promotion ceremony. Although Lily did not meet her during the ceremony, she had listened to her chatting with others for more than an hour in the waiting room as a "gray robe man".

Although her voice had changed slightly, the low and lazy voice left a deep impression on Lily.

When Lily looked at Madam Red, Madam Red also sensed Lily's gaze at the same time.

But she did not care, just smiled at Lily in a friendly way.

And this old elf...

Lily always felt as if she had seen him somewhere before.

"Long time no see, Diomedes."

As a result, Oswald spoke first and greeted him.

"It's been a long time indeed."

The old elf called Diomedes nodded to Oswald and smiled rarely: "We haven't seen each other for nearly 30 years, right?"

"Indeed. The last time we met was before the master adopted Master Edward."

Oswald also missed him a little.

He smiled and said, "I plan to go back to the Theocracy. Do you need me to bring you a few words or bring back some specialties?"

"Can you leave those two people in your family?"

Diomides raised his eyebrows and asked back.

Edward also looked over when he heard this, frowned slightly, and showed a worried look on his face.

The old butler shook his head slightly at Edward, indicating that he would talk about it after returning home.

"If you want to talk, bring some rose gold wine."

Diomides laughed and said, "I want to drink the wine from my hometown."

"It seems that you don't have anything for me to bring you, old thing. Just die quietly in a foreign country."

Oswald smiled and said, "I plan to meet His Holiness the Pope."

The square-faced elf also hit back, "You too, a dying old thing... just don't say bad things about me."

Even by human standards, these two people are already at least seventy or eighty years old. If calculated by the lifespan of elves, they may have lived for four or five hundred years.

If you don't use any Tao power to prolong your life, even as an immortal elf, your life span is only 500 years.

If your life span is longer, you will be considered a follower of Amber.

And Oswald also introduced to Lily: "This is Diomedes, the guardian of the Droste family. He and I are old friends. Before being sent to Avalon, we were both selected from the same batch of Pope's guards.

"It was he who introduced you to the Moriarty family back then."

"...Ah, I still remember this lady."

Seeing Lily, Diomedes' expression was a little serious: "We met once more than ten years ago."

"Thank you, Mr. Diomedes. "

Lily bowed sincerely to express her gratitude.

--So this is the benefactor!

If it weren't for this old elf, it would be difficult for her to enter the Moriarty family and she wouldn't have met Aiwass again.

But Diomedes' expression when he looked at Lily was a little complicated.

He was silent for a long time, hesitant to speak.

He just sighed and whispered: "Be careful during this time, child."

Hearing this, Oswald narrowed his eyes slightly and patted Lily's shoulder gently.

"I know what you mean, old thing."

The old butler narrowed his eyes and said.
