Miss Watson of the Sherlock Holmes

Mr. Holmes's highly fanciful remarks are really...

It seemed to Ursula that the world was truly fantastic.

"You think it's strange for me to say such things." Mr. Holmes smiled: "I think I know the existence of London, but I still insist on scientific detectives. I know the symbolic meaning of the dream catcher from the beginning, but I am still involved in it." In this matter, it violates my principles of investigation."

Although it was a question, Mr. Holmes did not intend to ask Ursula to answer, but continued talking.

"As I said just now, the true appearance of London is actually the reflection of the lake of dreams in London. Fortunately, since Aristotle, we have not classified dreams as oracles, but defined them as sleepers in sleep. And the Austrian doctor Freud even analyzed human dreams, and demonstrated that the content of dreams depends on real life. (Quoted from "The Interpretation of Dreams")"

"Inner London is such a world. Its good and bad come from Outer London. If Outer London breeds evil, then Inner London will not be peaceful."

"The world that is so easily affected by the atmosphere of London City does not need to pay much attention to it. Especially after Professor Moriarty's group was defeated, the evil thoughts that were induced and bred are much less."

"So, I never worry that the world will get out of control. With my understanding of London, I can proudly say that the state of the world is completely under control."

"By deduction," Captain Roland interjected.

"Yes, by deduction, it seems that you are also our doctor's reader." Holmes glanced at the young man and said with a smile: "There is nothing that cannot be traced, and there are laws of operation in the inner world. Like Cuvier, he can accurately describe the whole animal after studying a single bone. (Quoting the original work "Five Orange Pieces")"

"And when a reasoning expert obtains enough information and clues, he can also build a complete world without seeing the other side of the wall."

"If we look at the whole world, the recent corpses on the pier, ghosts that shouldn't be seen appearing on the streets of London late at night, Miss Rose's commission, all these seemingly independent events, all point towards a Moving forward with a common goal.”

"And this goal is related to the speech of this alchemy student."

"Dream catcher..." Ursula said in a low voice, "It's a magic tool to block evil. Since London is a dream, this dream catcher is to prevent the evil in London from murdering him. He was still murdered after taking such precautions." , is it because you know something? About that throne"

"I think so. The Clock Tower is a special place. It is the only place in London that is exactly like the real world. So it is not surprising that students here have glimpsed something in their research. Surprisingly, What he saw was enough to silence one party."

"As far as I know, this battle of London, which was paid tribute to Troy by all parties, actually has no taboo among the high-level parties that the purpose is to snatch the throne. They shouldn't be so careful to silence a fool who advertises this to the public. green."

Captain Roland's face became serious.

"Speaking of which, since there is the title of the Battle of London, there must be candidates from different positions who want to push for the throne. Who do you think is the candidate for the Queen at the clock tower?"

"Miss Rose." Ursula blinked.

"Where are the witches and mediums?" Mr. Holmes continued.

"It should be me." Ursula pointed to herself consciously. Although the identity manipulated by her mother was not stated clearly, it was obviously encouraging her to actively participate in this matter, and she even did not hesitate to call her the reincarnation of the old god. head.

"What about the paladin side?" Mr. Holmes looked at Captain Roland.

"Our side." The only paladin present looked at the number one detective in London in amazement.

"Hahaha, you are so wrong. We have no intention of participating in this matter," Captain Roland laughed. "We are the guardians of London's order, not destroyers, and knights are knights."

"Then I will ask you, Captain Roland, since you are a knight, who is your allegiance to?" Mr. Holmes also smiled.

"Our allegiance is...justice." Captain Roland suddenly got stuck.

Ursula twitched the corners of her mouth. She remembered that when she first came to London, Eric complained to her. They were actually self-righteous law enforcement officers.Although there are some cooperative relationships with institutions such as Scotland Yard, the official London can't restrain them in any way, and London has nothing to restrain them.

"What if there is a queen in London? Originally, there were only rules in London, but now there is a king, and the king's orders are the rules in London. Where will you go?"

"You may think that you don't care, but what do your superiors think about this? What if your deadly enemy wins the throne?"

"...We also have a queen candidate." Captain Roland was just bound by habit, and once he figured it out, he understood the current situation.

"Do you know who it is?" He asked, his attitude was no longer so superior, but a lot more humble.

"Who do you think Ursula is?" Mr. Holmes seemed determined to test Ursula.

"...Based on what I know, I think it's Sophie Bruno, the youngest daughter of the Bruno family." Ursula replied hesitantly, "She has a pair of special eyes, and her family somehow wanted to give her some. Strange power, and most importantly, she once told me a secret about her family's power performance situation after studying some things later. "

"She calls this power a chessboard. With their eyes and the knights, they can turn the battlefield into a chessboard. If her eyes are intact, she can become the king of the white side on the chessboard." Ursula recalled Thinking of the huge chess board garden at Bruno's house, his tone was calm.

"But the power of her eyes is not complete for some reason."

"Miss Sophie, she ran away from home because of this," Captain Roland said in surprise.

"Almost." Ursula didn't have the patience to tell him a story, so she was perfunctory, and then asked Sherlock.

"What do you think he knows?"

"Well..." Sherlock Holmes tapped the pebbles on the dream catcher.

"The answer is actually revealed to us at the door."

"what?"

"The stones are meteorites, and this branch is from a hazel tree."

"Ah!" Ursula exclaimed, looking at the dreamcatcher again, "I see."

"I know that hazel tree seems to be able to ward off evil... But what does the meteorite represent?" Captain Roland looked blankly at the two people who had reached a tacit understanding, and suddenly doubted his own IQ, what kind of riddle they were playing.

"Although the seven stars bowed and cried in the dance, the dragon of the sky axis is still asleep. (Quoted from "The Poet Prays for the Power of the Four")" Mr. Holmes held up the dream catcher, facing the room located in the gap between inner and outer London. The windows of the dormitory with the never-setting half-moon printed on it.

"... Mister Holmes, I don't know much about poetry."

"It's astronomy." Ursula laughed.

"Sorry, astronomy is also my weakness." Captain Roland covered his eyes in embarrassment.

"..." is actually Mr. Holmes' weakness, but the other party's knowledge reserve will always increase the number of cases when it should be.

"These stones are arranged in the shape of Ursa Major and Draco, and they are all constellations revolving around the axis of the sky." Ursula saw Mr. Holmes looking at her with the expression that your uncle is not here and you have to do it for him, so she had to ask Roland The captain explained.

"The axis of the sky symbolizes time and the tree of life. The branches of the Irish tree of life used as a frame, that is, the branches of the hazel tree, also testify to the thoughts that the owner of the room wants to convey when weaving this dream catcher."

"If our inference is correct, he may have glimpsed some clues of the tree of life in this clock tower."

"Is the tree of life important? What does it have to do with London in the robbery?" Captain Roland was puzzled.

"Of course it does matter. Even if every faction has a candidate, do you know how they will make the candidate the queen recognized by London?"

"Didn't you say the Battle of London? Whoever wins will be in charge."

"Then why didn't they do it sooner?" Ursula asked him.

"This... because the timing is not ripe." Captain Roland replied stammeringly.

"Of course not." Ursula replied after confirming with Mr. Holmes.

"It's because they haven't found a way for the queen candidate to fuse with the tree of life before, but now they have found it." She clenched her umbrella handle, which contained a branch from the world of Egyptian gods.

At this moment, she finally understood that when the guys from Adonis' side appeared, they were always connected with the tree.

On the other side, in the house of the Bruno brothers and sisters.

Eric found an armchair and sat down, leaning on the back of the chair. He motioned for Dr. Watson to sit too, and then explained to the two people present in a leisurely manner.

"London, as a projection, has no primitive life forms, and all those living in it are outsiders. It stands to reason that umbrals should be its natural residents. Since the law did not give it a "queen", it is naturally impossible to give it a "queen". Its "subjects" mean that London-born umbrals will be devoured when they come near it."

"You said this before." Dr. Watson nodded, "But what does this have to do with Miss Bruno?"

"I've been rambling so much, what I want to show is that the living conditions of London specters are really bad." Eric spread his hands: "So they are actually the group that really wants to have a queen in London. With a queen, they can live in the queen Let’s live in a pollution-free London, not in this moonless smog.”

"So their instincts will make them approach people who may become queens, and there may be a large number of umbral monsters gathered around each queen candidate."

"That's why you judged that Miss Bruno is also... wait a minute, which means that we can find those queen candidates according to the activity traces of the London Umbrella." Dr. Watson suddenly realized a problem: "Then they are easy to be found by insiders. It's dangerous to find."

"People who can become queens are not weak beings. You can rest assured. After confirming this, I am not so worried about the safety of Miss Bruno who left voluntarily. Curious."

"You said, when a person who has been unfairly wronged, when she knows that she is very likely to become a rule-making existence, what will she do?"

"I will take the initiative to step into the battle." James Bruno came back, and just heard this sentence, and his expression, which had been relaxed because of the good news from his neighbor, became dignified again.

"My sister has always been unwilling, but she still thinks too easily. Being the Queen of London is not without cost." Mr. Bruno Jr. sighed deeply, feeling worried.

"May I know what the price is?" Dr. Watson asked curiously. The news he has received during this period has always been that it is very tempting to snatch the control of London. What a price to pay.

"The first condition for becoming a queen is to have loyal subjects, and Li London has no life." James Bruno said in a deep voice.

Dr. Watson found himself being emphasized again that there is no life in London: "Is this very difficult?"

"It should be said that it is impossible, at least with my sister's ability." Mr. Bruno Jr. sat on the ground and hugged his head: "Then there is only one way for her to go, and that is..."

"Give up on yourself and completely become a part of Li London, so as to make Li London alive. At that time, she will no longer be Sophie, but Li London itself, or become a world tree that cannot be escaped."
