At 8 o’clock in the morning, Sherlock hurriedly rushed to the Hall of Silver and Tin.
When the great detective, who had been missing for several months, reappeared, it immediately attracted the attention of the public.
He hadn’t even stepped onto the steps of the Hall of Silver and Tin when the news had already reached the steps of the press.
By the time he arrived at the queen’s study, he saw Aiwass leisurely sitting in the queen’s seat.
He was crossing his legs, leaning back in the chair, humming an operatic tune with pleasure.
“Yo, you’ve come.”
Aiwass said with a smile, “Long time no see, great detective.”
“I knew it was you who summoned me.”
Sherlock said with annoyance, “What do you need, respected Minister Moriarty?”
“Nothing major, just to see if you were dead.
...
It seems all is well.
That’s certainly a relief.”
Aiwass’s mouth curved into a sly smile.
—Fists clenched, his fists clenched.@@@@
Sherlock ground his teeth.
However, he could discern the sly fox’s concern for him, so he didn’t say anything and elegantly and silently took a seat opposite.
At the time of the promotion ceremony, when he didn’t see Aiwass and Isabel, his heart suddenly sank.
Not out of concern for himself.
With Sherlock’s pride, even if he were just a frail child, he would never shrink back in such a place.
His main concern was for Isabel...
Although Her Majesty the Queen had seemingly grown up, the promotion ceremony from three to four was far too dangerous.
If she were to die in it, the chances were high she would also die in reality.
If something were to truly happen to Her Majesty the Queen, then Avalon would be in trouble.
Even during a full moon ceremony, Transcendents were not exactly loving and harmonious.
Not to mention the at least three spots destined for failure, Transcendents had various identities and positions, and they would also have to find a way to remove their Path of Rejection.
Otherwise, they might inadvertently aid their opponents in completing their tasks and be penalized for it.
“Now you see, I am healthy and well.
Can I go now?
There are some backlogged cases waiting.
“By the way, is Director Kent with your agency?
I heard he failed his promotion today, suffering four fatal wounds and was left bloody from someone’s slashes.
It took three bishops working in tandem for two hours to barely cling to his life.
He’ll probably need at least a year or two to recover.”
Upon saying this, Sherlock suddenly scoffed: “Oh, that’s not right.
I guess there must be more to it...
Since you sly fox specially called me over, there’s likely some kind of trouble.”
“Maybe...
there isn’t?”
Aiwass said, clearly in a very good mood, “Just a heart-to-heart chat—is that not allowed?”
Sherlock paused for a moment, his expression subtle: “Speak your mind.”
“Do you know anything about...
the Serpent Celestial Marshal?” asked Aiwass.
“I’ve heard a thing or two.”
Sherlock nodded: “The Son of the Serpent Father, huh.
The Ouroboros Celestial Marshal, the Infinite Celestial Marshal...
The ritual of Lady Ligeia’s reincarnation should be the Serpent Celestial Marshal’s power, right?
What about it?”
“I’ve obtained new information from this promotion ceremony,” said Aiwass.
He crossed his fingers in front of him, put down his crossed leg, and leaned forward slightly, asking seriously: “I’ve heard that the Serpent Celestial Marshal had a different name in the past, called the Reincarnation Celestial Marshal.
“Before the Cicada Slough incident, the Ouroboros was known as the Celestial Marshal of Self-Destruction and Rebirth, belonging to the Path of Balance.
It was after acquiring the Endless Knot from the Cicada Slough incident that He became the Celestial Marshal of Transcendence.”
is there something I can assist with?”
The next moment, a beautiful goddess carrying a silvery-white long staff emerged from the lake, dripping wet.
She had waist-length silver-blue wet hair, elfish long ears, and eyes clear as sapphires.
She looked somewhat similar to Shafiya, around thirty years old.
Her clothes were soaked to translucency, water droplets falling onto her bare feet.
“...Lady Morgan?”
Aiwass raised an eyebrow, inquiring.
Morgan was about to introduce herself, but upon hearing Aiwass’ words, she was momentarily surprised, “You recognize me?”
“I’ve heard a bit about you...
after all, you are also mother to Knight Mordred.”
Aiwass said smilingly.
“That child...”
Hearing this, Morgan’s lips curved into a slight nostalgic smile.
When she looked at Aiwass again, her eyes became much friendlier.
“Someone sent me to find you...
guess who?”
“Lancelot...
from a previous lifetime?”
“So clever.
I’m starting to like you more and more,”
Morgan said with a beaming smile, “He told me to look for a handsome priest, and I was thinking...
that could be quite a challenge.
But unexpectedly, nearly everyone on Glass Island knows you...
I’ve been away for a few years, and to think Avalon has produced such an outstanding young man.
“Lancelot asked me to give you a gift...
what do you think of me?”
“...I already have a girlfriend.”
Aiwass took a half step back, saying somewhat warily.
As an envoy of Phantom Demons and Shadowy Celestial Marshal on the Path of Love, nothing Morgan would do would surprise him.
Indeed, she laughed even more joyfully upon hearing this, “Isn’t that more thrilling?”
As Aiwass looked even more guarded, she waved her hand dismissively, “Oh, how cute...
I am just teasing.
Don’t be so scared, I could at least be considered half your ancestor.”
I very much doubt that, Aiwass thought.
To a Phantom Demon from the Path of Love, such a negligible kinship might actually be a delicious spice.
“Really, don’t be afraid.
I’m not here on my own behalf this time.
I’ve got to report back to Lancelot anyway.”
Morgan continued merrily, raising her wand and giving it a shake towards Aiwass, “Alright, I’ve delivered my gift...
I hope you like it.
“Until we meet again, handsome young priest.
Oh, and a message for you—Lancelot said he really likes you and hopes to meet again.”
...Hm?
Aiwass paused for a moment.
What have you given?
There was no glow of a Path, nor did I feel corrupted or changed by any power.
Even the system didn’t give any signal...
did you really give something?
Or is this just a tease?
“You’ll know soon enough,”
Morgan said with a secretive smile, placing a finger to her lips, “It won’t be long.”
But in the brief moment of Aiwass’ confusion, Morgan had already briskly retreated back into the lake, melting away like snow.
