Chapter 366 Lost Secret Intelligence

The Moriartys did not hire a live-in gardener, but instead invited famous gardeners to take care of the garden every once in a while.

Juan Sorenson was a professor of biology at the Royal Law University. He was famous in the Knight family circle for his beautiful garden and good flower care.

Because of this, his status and income became higher after his retirement - many people wanted to ask old Juan to design the layout of their own gardens, and it even became a trend among the famous families. But you still need some face to invite him... Old Moriarty, as a full professor, has this face. He is Professor Sorenson's old friend.

"Have you a good trip, Aiwass?"

Old Juan also watched Aiwass and Edward grow up, so he knew why Aiwass was away during this period, and he could call Aiwass and Edward by their names directly: "You came back at the right time - Edward rarely went out today."

"Is he not at work today?" Aiwass stopped and asked carefully.

"Yes, Edward seems to be entertaining guests. The man is wearing a navy uniform and looks quite young. He should be about the same age as Edward."

The old gardener thought for a while and then replied: "Maybe he is Edward's friend. I think the young man was very happy to see Edward."

"... It's rare that my brother actually has friends of the same age."

Evans was surprised: "I've never heard of it."

According to Edward's old-fashioned, serious and unsmiling personality, the reason why he can make friends with Sherlock is entirely because Sherlock is also a weirdo.

Edward's appearance is different from that of Edward and Julia. He is not handsome in any way. He can only be regarded as having regular features and being neat and clean. When he is dressed in formal clothes, he is as serious and reassuring as a conference speaker. And if he changes into civilian clothes and lets down his neatly combed back oily hair, he can easily melt into the crowd.

He is a person who doesn't like to tell others his thoughts and secrets. Even though he has been friends with Sherlock for many years, he still keeps almost all his secrets from Sherlock.

This is one of Edward's few advantages in interpersonal communication - at least he is tight-lipped and will never tell others the gossip he hears.

He always has a stern face and hardly responds to other people's jokes or stories, let alone choosing to see the atmosphere at the right time in an occasion where he should "applaud". He always speaks his mind, and if there is nothing he must say, he will remain silent.

He is very disgusted with those who just flatter and approach him, and if he is disgusted to the extreme, he will even get up and leave without giving them face. And his identity as a widower makes those young women who admire him feel difficult, and they have no way to approach him.

- As the saying goes, the living cannot beat the dead.

Because of this, when Edward appears in a more relaxed social occasion, even the voices of other people chatting and laughing can be suppressed because of his appearance. Later, Edward soon discovered this, so he simply did not go.

Edward's few hobbies are probably music, which is one of the reasons why he can become friends with Sherlock. However, Sherlock prefers lyrical and melodious music, which can relax his brain; while Edward prefers the solemn, heavy and tragic style.

But occasionally they will listen to the same concert.

When Sherlock comes back, he obviously becomes more relaxed; when Edward comes back, he becomes more silent and depressed.

If Edward were in modern times, he would be a loyal user who opens the NetEase Cloud Music at midnight on time.

In contrast to Edward's extreme lack of "friends", Edward has a very high reputation in the field of work. He is steady and reliable, neat and tidy, rigorous and meticulous, and can always keep secrets - that is why he can sit in the position of Inspector General of Glass Island at a young age.

The influence of the Founder family in this regard is very small.

After all, the Moriarty family can only have one heir in the end, and others will not even be able to keep the Moriarty surname in the end. And they are just adopted sons who have nothing to rely on, and they do not have a close network of relationships formed by long-term intermarriage and marriage of a normal Founder family.

There are so many Founder families, but in the end, this position fell on Edward. This is enough to prove his outstanding personal ability.

On the other hand, Edward, who is so young and promising, can't find a few friends of the same age outside of work, which is enough to prove how difficult it is for those who want to approach him.

On the contrary, those very old people have a good relationship with Edward and have a high opinion of him. He can be said to be an idol of middle-aged and elderly women. The more stable, slow, equal and relaxed social rhythm is just right for the silent and sensitive Edward.

Aiwass became interested in this "young navy", so he followed Lily to the door.

Before knocking on the door, the door opened by itself.

The person who opened the door was Edward's personal manservant. He saw Aiwass and Lily coming back from the window, so he came to open the door.

"Where's Yulia?"

After Aiwas entered the door, he found that Yulia, who was always the first to greet him, was not there, which was a bit strange. He also felt a little uncomfortable.

"Miss Yulia is still studying alchemy in the Temple of Silver and Tin."

The red-haired young man quickly replied: "Mr. Wade and Mary are following. They will be back in the evening. The royal family will send a coachman to take them back... They will not spend the night in the Palace of Silver and Tin."

Mary is Julia's personal maid. Wade Sr. is James' personal valet.

It sounds like sending a child to a specialty class...except that the destination is the palace, which seems to be the case.

The original elf butler Oswald is still missing, so Wade temporarily becomes the butler of the Moriarty family.

"Actually, it's okay to stay overnight," Aiwass thought for a while, "Isabel also likes Yulia quite a lot. Mr. Wade is also old, and it's not good for him to run so far every day... Why not let Mary follow Yulia?" Ya, please stay in the Palace of Silver and Tin. I’ll just tell Her Majesty the Queen or Isabel later.”

The White Queen is really not too close to the Red Queen. Although the Moriarty family also has a villa in the Red Queen that they don't usually use, Yulia obviously doesn't want to live there by herself. And it just so happened that Isabel also wanted a playmate.

The palace of silver and tin, which could easily accommodate more than twenty members of the royal family, was now empty. Even if it's not scary, it can be a bit lonely.

Although he can't see his sister who clings to him every day, Aiwass is a little uncomfortable and somewhat disappointed. But she was able to find friends and find what she wanted to do, which still made Aiwass happy.

As for Yulia wanting to see Aiwass - then it would be better for Aiwass to go to the Palace of Silver and Tin to find them. The two-hour commute made Aiwass feel a little sorry for Yulia.

Anyway, it’s just two more trips. Now he no longer needs to use a wheelchair, and the carriage is not too slow. If he was in a hurry, he could borrow a gryphon.

After Aiwass entered the door, he saw that the living room was extremely bright.

He was stunned for a while, and then realized... This was the magic painting "Golden Dawn" given to him by Master Yanis.

The bright golden light mixed with the crimson rising sun rose from the center of the sacred building made of gold and fell on the two people who were talking in the living room. Let the time at this moment seem to have returned to the sunrise.

The man sitting on the sofa was indeed, as Professor Sorenson said, about the same age as Edward.

When he heard someone approaching, he stopped the conversation nervously.

"He's back."

Edward nodded to Aiwass and showed a rare smile.

He looked at the man and said, "Just right, Captain Camus. Aiwass is back. Please repeat your question."

"Is there anything else about me?"

Aiwass said with interest, leaning against the side of the sofa where Edward was sitting.

He looked at the young marine named Camus.

Camus has neat short hair and a long, thin face. His nose bridge was very high, his cheekbones were high, and his eyes that should have been bright under the deep eye sockets looked extremely haggard at the moment.

"Closely related to you."

Edward turned around and replied seriously: "Do you know anything about the woman named Aleister?"

"……ha?"

Aiwass was stunned for a moment.

He didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Let me tell you, Mr. Minister... you are qualified to know this."

Captain Camus was apparently aware of Aiwass's appointment.

"Because this matter is top secret and involves diplomatic secrets and spies. In theory, you cannot tell anyone..."

Camus looked at Lily nervously.

Although he knew that there were no secrets for the personal maid, and if Lily wanted to know, she could ask Aiwass... But from Camus's point of view, he had to prevent any possibility of leaks. In other words, there is a possibility that all secrets will be leaked from one's own side.

Lily had become very adept at this situation as well.

She nodded slightly and left the living room to chat with Edward's valet.

"Say it, Captain."

Aiwass looked at Camus: "What exactly do you want to say."

"...I lost a letter."

Camus lowered his head and looked away from Aiwass's sharp gaze: "That is an important piece of information intercepted from Iris——

"According to Iris' feedback from Star Antimony's spies, Avalon's royal agent Miss Aleister... is actually a spy for the Star Antimony people."

"……ah?"

Aiwass was stunned.
