Miss Watson of the Sherlock Holmes

"Calm down, Green." Professor Watson stood up and pressed the colleague's shoulder firmly: "Sit down first, and then carefully tell Mr. Holmes the ins and outs."

"It's too late, Mr. Holmes! Come and see her first! It's really too late, Aurora is leaving now. I let her mother hug her and lock the door before I can come to you. Now I don't know what's going on!" Professor Green said.

"Did you just mean that Miss Green is going to leave by herself?" Ursula listened to this passage carefully and found the problem. "Going to be a sacrifice yourself?"

"...That's right." Professor Green covered her face: "I don't know what strange person she heard said that becoming the bride of the river god will give her family protection, and I will never meet those snakes again."

"How could this kind of thing be true!" The father said painfully, "It's said to be marrying a god, but it's actually a living sacrifice."

"This statement sounds familiar." Mrs. Watson, who had been listening silently, suddenly said, "Green, are you talking about the night of tears?"

"And the so-called gods refer to Harpy God?"

"Yes." Professor Green replied, and he held Mr. Holmes's hand very eagerly: "Please, go back with me to stop her."

Under such circumstances, of course, Mr. Holmes went with the client very considerately. Originally, his plan was to go to the client's side, and it didn't matter whether it was sooner or later.

Ursula took a sandwich and followed behind, confused: "Isn't it already July now? Why are you still talking about the Festival of Tears? Isn't that a June thing? No.12 night in June."

"The one you mentioned is the Gregorian calendar." Professor Watson stared at the two young people who got together at the end and said slowly: "But according to the traditional Egyptian lunar calendar, it is indeed tonight."

"Moon calendar? Is it similar to the Chinese lunar calendar?"

"No, there is still a difference." Mrs. Watson gently said to her daughter Science, holding her husband's arm: "First, the beginning of the day in ancient Egypt was the morning, not the Zi hour in the twelve hours. Second, it was not There are 24 solar terms and four seasons, but three seasons, the flood season, the grain growing season, and the harvest season.”

"It sounds like it's completely relying on the Nile River." Ursula thought for a while and said, before she could exchange ideas with Holmes, she was pushed into the front seat of the car extremely "gently" by her father.

"You sit here." Professor Watson closed the car door and said to her.

Then he let his wife drive, and he and Holmes sat in the back seat.

It is rare for Ursula to experience what she had never experienced in her childhood when she was an adult, the depressed feeling when she was so excited and wanted to go out to play with her friends, but her parents stopped her.

"Don't keep looking back." Professor Watson said to Ursula, who couldn't help but look back at the state of the two of them: "Be careful of motion sickness, sit still."

"Oh." Ursula and Eric looked at each other, seeing him slightly shaking his head, worried for three seconds, and then focused on the scenery along the way.

She didn't have a chance to distract herself, because she thought that the two men in the back seat would always have a polite chat, but the two of them had no intention of opening their mouths at all.

Mrs. Watson, on the other hand, introduced the buildings along the way to her daughter with great interest while driving.

"arrive."

Ursula watched through the car window as the car ahead screeched to a stop in front of a building that looked nice compared to the other gray houses on the street.

Then I saw a few men get out of the car in some embarrassment.

"Mr. Green shouldn't be allowed to drive. He's in such a bad state of mind, it's too dangerous. See John and Mr. Holmes being tortured." Mrs. Watson stopped the car steadily and complained.

"No way, they are too fast." Professor Watson shrugged: "We just got into the car, and they walked a long way."

As soon as he made a decision, Mr. Holmes rushed out with Professor Green. Only his old partner, Dr. Watson, was present to keep up with him.

"You can obviously keep up, why don't you go with them?" Ursula whispered to Eric, who deliberately slowed down a step, when she saw her parents get out of the car and followed quickly.

"And then logically considered a workaholic? That's not a plus, honey."

"Don't you?" Ursula asked in surprise. She remembered that every time this guy investigated the case with enthusiasm and concentration, he was no better than Mr. Holmes. The reason why she could keep up with the other party's rhythm was entirely because Every time the two people's activities and perspectives are different.

She can remember that in the mermaid incident, when she and Eric investigated together for the first time, she was completely trotting all the way.

I was able to stick to the part of climbing the cave in the follow-up, and it was also because I took the energy-replenishing potion that I was able to jump up and down the whole journey with this energetic guy.

Not to mention when we were in London, because the two were roommates and saw each other every day, so it might not be obvious.But count carefully, except for the social occasions where you have to bring your girlfriend to attend and the week when you first take her shopping.In the rest of the time, Eric acted alone, either to investigate some small incidents, or to get familiar with the streets and people in London, and to construct a three-dimensional map of London for thinking.

"Dear Miss Watson." Eric was not in a hurry to enter the door of Professor Green's house. Instead, he stood on the porch steps and looked at the Miss Witch with a smile: "I'm just a poor person during your parents' inspection period."

"So you have to pretend to cover up your true nature?"

"How can this be called pretending?" Eric smiled and said, "I'm just not very interested in this matter."

"why?"

"Because I have a hunch that if we are involved in this matter, there will be big trouble, and I hate extra episodes at this stage." He listened carefully to the movement in the house. "After all, my purpose of coming to Egypt this time is very clear, it's just for one thing"

"Collecting materials for making balances? How much time will it take you?" Ursula saw that the other party had no intention of going in, so she didn't go in at all. She pulled up her skirt and squatted in the shadow of the porch. "But I don't see anything on the list of materials that needs time. Wait a minute..."

The naive Ms. Witch looked at Mr. Detective's abnormal appearance of not participating in the case, and suddenly came to her senses: "Did you make an agreement with my parents behind my back? You didn't come to Egypt to collect materials at all!"

"Your reaction speed crossed the Atlantic Ocean this time, Darling." Eric raised his eyebrows: "To be precise, my respected father made an agreement with your father."

"Give me a one-month inspection period."

"But you didn't tell me." Ursula looked up at him resentfully.

"How can I lift the rod ahead of time when the fish are still testing the bait?"

"So you mean I'm biting the hook now?"

"That's how I feel. Although I haven't lived in my fish tank yet, it's on my hook anyway." Eric said without repentance at all as he looked at Miss Witch's increasingly dangerous eyes. "You know, the premise that Professor Watson is willing to give me the probationary period is that you and I are'really' engaged."

He puts an emphasis on the word really.

"Darling, why do you have this expression." Eric glanced at the room again, and then reached out to pull Ursula up: "Is it because the bait is not attractive enough, or I am not a good fisherman."

"Neither, I prefer the one with the current hook." Ursula stood up and said, "You..."

"You don't understand!"

A person yelled like this, and rushed out of the house in a rampage.

Eric put Ursula in his arms and said, "Lift your right leg."

"Huh?" Ursula subconsciously followed his words and kicked her right foot forward.

The fast figure was only looking at the person chasing her behind, without paying attention to her feet, just happened to be caught by this movement, she swayed, and fell to her knees with a thump.

"Aurora!" Professor Green and his wife followed up first.

"Why didn't you stop it?" Ursula asked Dr. Watson who was chasing him.

"Because when I entered, Miss Green was very calm, but Professor Green and Mrs. Green were more hysterical." Dr. Watson sighed: "It's careless."

"I didn't expect her to explode suddenly, and she was so strong that we couldn't hold it back."

"So exaggerated?" Ursula knelt down and restrained Miss Green who wanted to stand up and continue running.

"Uh..." Dr. Watson watched his weak niece put one hand on the excited Miss Green who just broke free from three strong men. "Maybe it's the potential for an emotional outburst."

Not really.Ursula thought that there was something really wrong with this girl, and she could feel some strange power remaining in her body.

So Ursula looked at little Holmes tentatively, but unexpectedly shook her head.

"You shook your head too much today." After handing over Miss Green to the adults, Ursula looked at Eric dissatisfied.

"This is Sherlock's case."

"You don't usually say that."

"My magic power is suppressed here." Eric sighed: "The power of the fairy land conflicts with this land."

"How could it be?" Ursula couldn't believe it: "I feel really good."

"Because this is the first place, even if the lunar calendar is used, Egypt is always the kingdom of the sun, which is not suitable for an elf like me."

"Theology of Heliopolis?"

"You know, then you should be able to understand my sense of urgency here." Eric said: "The power is suppressed, and the waterways of the sky in Egypt are open again during the Nile flood season."

"And those pirates who are crazy about alien stars can enter reality from the star sea at any time to trouble me."

"Whether it's for my happiness or your safety, I can't waste my energy on this kind of silly girl." Eric saw Ursula's disapproving gaze, so he could only explain: "We don't leave her alone, we just Holding her down to spend this lunar calendar's sacrificial night will completely end the trouble on the magic side."

"What did you deduce?" Ursula seemed to know something when she heard Eric's words.

"She smells like some kind of aquatic creature." Eric nodded his nose. "The kind I hate, you hate too."

"Mermaid? Wait, I hate it too? Could it be..." Ursula looked at Miss Green who was surrounded by Mr. Holmes and the others: "That guy Adonis is playing tricks again."

"I'm afraid so, and he has found a new alliance this time." Eric motioned Ursula to look up together: "What did I say, their ship came in."

Ursula looked up, and in her eyes, the reality and the other world suddenly merged, the celestial waters in Egyptian mythology suddenly connected with the sea under the starlight of the constellation Aurora, and the big ships with skull flags of various shapes sailed slowly across the ocean Passed through the clouds, and then landed at the location of the Nile River.

"From today onwards, you have to be weaker than me, Miss Witch. As an orthodox witch, your power has nothing to do with the sun." The half-elf patted the girl on the head and said.
