Pastor's Tantra

Shortly after Aiwass left the Lloyd's Building, Lily quietly reminded Aiwass that someone was following them.

Although "Spider Silk Tantra" strengthens perception ability, Lily only has the first level after all. If the other party was determined to follow them secretly, it would be difficult for Lily to discover the other party at this moment.

In other words, this is actually "tracking on the table", an attitude expressed by the vice president of Boca to Aiwass:

Our Lloyd's family has a great business, but we only send stalkers that you can find to follow you, which shows that our current attitude is very friendly.

This also implies that they do not completely trust Aiwass, and there will be spies behind them at any time that they cannot detect - tell him that since there are eyes watching you in the dark at any time...you'd better stay safe. , Don't cause trouble.

But Aiwass learned another piece of information from this behavior: Lloyd's is currently under political pressure.

In the past, how could Lloyd's, which indirectly controlled two-thirds of the seats in the Round Table Hall, controlled large and small businesses, and major newspapers through lending, be afraid of a young boy like Aiwass?

They just told a lot of secrets, but they didn't let Aiwass have access to any evidence or let him know any details.

If Aiwass goes back and dares to speak nonsense, not only will he not pose a threat to Lloyd's, but he will expose his own purpose. This confidence that there is no fear of traitors within is proof of the strength of Lloyd's.

But now, their behavior has become obviously cautious. From their point of view, old Moriarty is already dead... Faced with the Moriarty family, whose head is dead and has no relatives or in-laws, they are so conservative. This shows that their influence in the Round Table Hall has begun to become stagnant.

"interesting."

The corners of Aiwass's mouth raised slightly.

Who is counteracting Lloyd's influence?

He thought about it in his mind and finally found the answer.

——It’s Meg’s Head of School.

The old lady's mission to investigate the "Alchemy Bomb Smuggling Case" issued by Haina shows that the great arbiter may want to take action against Lloyd's.

Because it is impossible for her not to know that the smuggling case is related to Lloyd's - all smuggling cases from the port area are related to them, and Lloyd's has long controlled the entire Lloyd's District. As for the great arbiter who controls the entire arbitration hall, she must know about this... After all, some of the arbitrators themselves are senior executives of Lloyd's, or have kinship or friendship with the senior officials.

So what's there to investigate?

Although this is the first time for alchemy bombs, there have been many large items smuggled in previous years.

When did they investigate Lloyd's?

"She wants to advance..."

Aiwass understood clearly in his heart. It turns out that Meg wanted to advance from this moment on.

What a closed disciple, this is actually looking for a successor.

It's like giving an account of the aftermath.

She may know that her advancement may fail... or even fail with a high probability.

So I want to finish all the things that need to be dealt with and solve all the things that need to be solved before the advancement ceremony.

After all, there are only so many extraordinary people at the peak of the fifth energy level in this era. Everyone knows each other and it is a pure acquaintance game. I knew all the nine people who came in, and more than half of them were old men and women. Maybe a few decades ago, it was not impossible that there were still grievances and hatreds between each other when they were young, or even close relatives.

It’s too easy to become an actor when there are just enough people. This kind of game is not based on strength at all, but on human sophistication.

Whether it was the New Moon Ritual being targeted by others, or the teammates rebelling during the Full Moon Ritual - even if Meg was strong enough, it would be difficult if others didn't want her to advance.

The old lady obviously understood. But she became stubborn and wanted to give it a try.

Of course, there is another possibility.

"...Perhaps she feels that her life is approaching."

Needless to say, authority, even those who are dedicated to the path of extraordinary who can continuously heal themselves, as long as they are short-lived, they will not live long after all. It is clear that the only path that can extend life or even live forever is the twilight path, and Meg is already over a hundred years old this year.

Although her body looks pretty strong...but who knows. Sometimes, only the old man himself knows how his body and bones are.

Aiwass's heart moved, but he didn't let Lily shake off those tails. But he didn't go directly to the bishop's house to find Sherlock. Instead, he went home first to report that she was safe, hugged Yulia who was worried about him, and then went directly back to school.

He directly let Lily push him to the bottom of the girls' dormitory. He stopped a senior from the third school department, smiled politely, and asked her to bring Haina down.

Upon hearing this, the senior sister opened her eyes wide, stretched out her hand to subconsciously cover her mouth, and froze on the spot for a moment.

But she was just stunned for a moment, and then immediately agreed without hesitation.

Aiwass just waited there for less than twenty minutes. Haina, who was fully dressed and didn't even have time to comb her hair, was pushed down by the classmates who were watching the excitement with a confused look on her face.

"...What's the matter, Aiwass?"

Haina touched her hair in embarrassment.

Girls' hair can easily become frizzy if not taken care of carefully; but Haina's hair is very thick, so washing it once is troublesome, and it's a bit cold in winter. Since these two days were weekends, she simply didn't wash her hair and stayed in her dormitory reading novels.

Recently, a novel called "Dracula" is very popular in Avalon. After reading it, she thought it was really good, so she went to the library to look for books written by Mr. Bram Stoker before, planning to spend a peaceful and ordinary weekend.

As a result, she was suddenly dragged down by her roommate mysteriously, saying that someone was looking for her.

When I came down and saw it, it turned out to be Aiwass!

"Senior, you look better without makeup today.

Aiwass complimented casually.

He glanced at her classmates who were lying by the window watching the excitement, and just smiled and shook his head: "Come with me, senior."

"...Hey, hey? Where are you going? If you want to meet someone, I'll go back and wash my hair first..."

Haina pressed her fluffy hair with some reluctance and embarrassment, trying hard to smooth it down. But Aiwass didn't respond to her immediately, so she just trotted behind Lily.

But she doesn't really care about the destination.

Instead, he was a little interested in what Aiwass said before: "Mr. Aiwass, is what you just said true?"

"What about makeup?"

Aiwass turned back and chuckled: "That's true... In my opinion, senior sister looks better without makeup."

"...Sure enough, it should be because my makeup skills are too poor."

Haina was a little frustrated: "I just started studying this year... I was too busy when I first came to the university, but now that I have been admitted to the Supervision Bureau in advance, I have time to study these things.

"But this subject is too complicated. It's like the chemistry knowledge taught in the second department, and some aesthetic knowledge from the sixth department - I don't know how to put on makeup at all. Or I can't see it clearly after I put it on. Or I just feel that it would be better not to paint if I painted, it’s too ugly…”

She followed Aiwass for a while before she realized that she was heading towards Aiwass's dormitory.

So Haina immediately realized that this should be related to Sherlock's matter.

But she had just become serious, and Aiwass didn't even look back at her, but said without looking back: "Don't be too nervous, senior. It would be better to be more natural."

"Yes, Mr. Aiwass."

Subconsciously, Haina obeyed Aiwass's instructions. Just like when they were fighting in the Pelican Bar.

After taking Haina through the door, Aiwass took her to the living room. Let Lily prepare tea and afternoon tea.

And Aiwass crossed his hands and asked, "Didn't you come this morning?"

"Sherlock's funeral?"

Haina nodded: "Yes, I didn't go."

Although the Supervisory Bureau also asked her to attend Sherlock's funeral today, she still pretended to be very sad and refused - mainly because Haina knew that Sherlock was not actually dead, and she was not optimistic about her dramatic talent. .

"I was worried that I might accidentally reveal a flaw and affect your and Mr. Sherlock's plans. So I decided not to do anything."

Haina replied.

As an outstanding student of the Department of Individual Tactics, she has studied combat and swordsmanship. Therefore, we deeply understand the principle of "you would rather do nothing than make a mistake".

——How many students in the third department have not been cut by a classmate's sword accidentally, bitten by a classmate's uncontrollable griffin, or hit by a classmate's out-of-control horse?

Perhaps only the seniors of the Fourth Division who were watching the excitement on the side of the playground and preparing to practice lighting techniques and pick up the younger students could figure it out.

Aiwass praised: "Very good, otherwise you might be in danger."

"...what's wrong?"

Haina realized that Aiwass was about to talk about business, she frowned slightly, raised her back, and her tone became reliable: "Do you need my help, Mr. Aiwass?"

"Really needed."

Aiwass nodded: "I need you to help me find Sherlock to send a message - I don't know if the phone will be tapped, so it is safest to send the message through a reliable person."

"Being bugged?"

Haina was stunned for a moment: "Is there an enemy that the Moriarty family can't defeat?"

This is unimaginable to her - the Moriarty family has been an almost "eternal" behemoth to her. Moriarty's income in one year is money that she will never earn in her lifetime.

Not to mention, Edward is also the Inspector General of the Glass Island Inspectorate!

How terrifying is it to be an enemy that cannot be fought against?

"The problem is actually not big, I can solve it myself."

Aiwass said solemnly: "You mainly tell him that I am now forced to join Lloyd's, and I may have to fake my death again... Don't reveal the truth."

"——You're coming too?!"

Haina blurted out without even bothering to be polite.

She realized the other person's problem almost immediately: "What about Princess Isabel?"

"Let's see what Sherlock says."

Aiwass narrowed his eyes and fell into thinking: "I'm also afraid that Isabel won't be able to bear it. So I tend to explain it to her in advance in person, but you also know... the more people know about this kind of thing, the more holes it will have. But. Strictly speaking, I am not really going to die, but I am kidnapped and missing. Maybe I can inform her in advance."

"What's the specific time?" Haina asked.

"Next week."

Aiwass replied without hesitation.

No matter what, he had to extract the demon from Yulia's body before he could do this. Otherwise she will 100% lose control.

"At the beginning of next month?"

Haina's attention was a little strange: "Isn't there a final exam?"

"My suspended animation is different from Sherlock's... I will only be missing for two or three days at most. It won't delay the exam."

Aiwass wasn't nervous about it.

What's more, what if I don't do well in the exam? He just came here to read the banned books in the library, and it was not like Haina who needed a chief title to change his destiny.

What's more, this year's knowledge is indeed not difficult. Aiwass felt that his scores in the naked exam would not be bad.

"How about I help you with some tutoring?"

Haina was eager to give it a try.

She never knew how she could help Aiwass.

She had previously entrusted the trouble of Headmaster Meg to Aiwass and Sherlock, but when the two people had a quick discussion, she felt that she could not get in at all - their logic jumped too fast, and in the middle Even a lot of processes are omitted. She felt like her brain was going to burn as she listened to it.

Obviously I have always been smart and my grades are very good. But why do you still look so naive in front of them?

Haina sometimes doubts herself like this.

But now, she feels that she finally has a place where she can give back - handing over all her important tasks to others while she watches from the sidelines... Although this kind of thing sounds very authoritative, but she is a bit Can't do it. At least I'm still a little embarrassed to do it now.

"Although I may be incapable of handling complex events, or I may lack talent in layout, planning, etc., but if it's just the final exam, I'm still very good at it!"

Haina was eager to give it a try: "I'm good at taking exams!"

"That's fine," Aiwass agreed readily, "I'll bother you then, senior sister.

"——Oh, by the way. After the final exam is over, can I go back to your hometown with you?"

"……Eh?"

Hearing this, Haina immediately opened her eyes wide and froze on the spot, her whole body motionless.

Aihuas chuckled evilly, and Haina realized that she had misunderstood.

The fox-like young man waved his hands gently, squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "I'm just kidding, actually I have to go to Yingjia Village for something. Sherlock will also come then. As the host, you have to bring us a Road."

"——Ah, that's no problem!"

Haina responded cheerfully: "You can come at any time, and I will entertain you well! Although Eagle Cape is a small village, there are still a lot of delicious and fun things!"

"Speaking of which," Aiwass asked insinuatingly, "I only recently found out that before I was adopted by my father... my biological grandfather was from Eagle Point Village."

"Eh?"

Hearing this, Haina's eyes lit up: "Really!"

"Yes, his name was Jacob Alexander, and he died of typhoid fourteen years ago. Do you know him?"

Aiwass asked seriously.

Haina thought for a while and then suddenly opened her eyes: "You mean...Grandpa Jacob? Is it Grandpa Jacob who writes novels and poems?

“It was Grandpa Jacob who taught me how to read when I was very young!”

Today is an update of over 7,000 words!

I went to bed at 8:30 yesterday and got up at 3:30 today. It feels like a human’s routine——
