Chapter 559 Professor Moriarty's Teacher

"How do you say that?"

Unexpectedly, there was such crucial information. Freya suddenly perked up: "Wait, so... you and... your father are still in regular contact?"

"Yes, miss. The master often comes to see me to talk about what he has been doing recently. I have also told him that if there is anything he needs me to do, he can ask me for help. Although I am old, I am not so old that I can't move."

Oswald said seriously, "The master said that Cardinal Rocky stole something 'he shouldn't touch'..."

Hearing this, Freya and Lily looked at each other subconsciously.

"……Then what?"

Freya demanded.

"If this is what the young lady wants to investigate, then there is no need to investigate further."

Oswald replied, "Master is already handling it. The matter will end peacefully in the 'Moriarty style'. After all, we are master and apprentice..."

"—Wait, Master and Disciple?"

Freya was a little surprised. She had heard something completely unexpected, so she interrupted Oswald and asked, "Father...does he have a master-disciple relationship with Cardinal Loki?"

"Don't you know about this, Miss?"

Oswald was also a little surprised: “I thought you knew.

"It's like this. When the master was young, he came to the Christian Kingdom to study astrology. His mentor at the time was Cardinal Loki."

On the other side, Aiwass has also gotten up.

The reason why Aihua specifically chose to go to see Loki the next day was because he respected Loki very much.

Originally following Aiwass was the Flame-Defying Butterfly Leah - although she never took action, she was always hiding in Aiwass's sleeve.

After all, summoning big beasts on the spot is a bit slow for high-level battles.

The best thing about the Flame-Defying Butterfly is its concealment.

The Flame Butterfly's traveling form doesn't emit flames if it's stationary. It only ignites when it's in flight... Otherwise, it resembles a ruby ​​or a fiery red maple leaf.

Although in the original plot line, Cardinal Loki was the first to die, and from the perspective of the vested interests, it should not have been him; and now, all kinds of intelligence clues point to him in great detail and precision, it seems like there is a dark hand framing him.

——However, the trolls are a key line.

Taking advantage of the fact that old Rabbih was kidnapped by Bram, Aiwass led the trolls to find Cardinal Loki. However, Cardinal Loki obviously refused to help Aiwass find someone and warned Aiwass that he was being targeted - and Aiwass was indeed being targeted, and that person was Bram.

Bram's ability to steal the "Wildfire Giant's" form, despite his superior level, meant that this person had willingly given him his essence and blood. The Wildfire Giant was also a local boss in the Theocracy's version...

And the most important thing is... in the original plot, Aiwass did not wipe out the Noble Red, so he did not provoke Xiong Tiansi, and Bram did not come to the Church to "hunt down" him.

Therefore, Bram must have come into contact with someone after arriving in the Theocracy and stolen the Titan's blood from that person.

In addition, both the Saint and Cardinal Matilda were vague about Cardinal Loki's "secret" before; the importance of that secret was roughly on the same level as that of Saint Ningpo.

Ai Hua suddenly came up with a bold guess -

Cardinal Loki is the wildfire giant Utgarochi!

Once this speculation came to mind, Aiwas immediately felt that the name "Utgarochi" was very similar to Cardinal Loki: the short part at the end of it was pronounced very close to "Loki".

"Loki" is pronounced in Elvish, which is clear, elastic and dynamic; while "Utgaroki" is pronounced in Giant language, which is more calm and vague. If you pronounce "Utgaroki" in Elvish, the ending will also become Loki.

——If you count it this way, Cardinal Loki might not be dead at all!

He actually faked his death to escape, and then turned into the wildfire giant Utgarochi!

Although Utgarochi lost his mind inexplicably, it is not surprising that the giant lost his mind; if you think about it carefully, Cardinal Loki's concept of "controlled fire" is very similar to Professor Moriarty's "premature death"...

So last night, Aiwass switched to his beast of sin.

As the saying goes, when there is work, there is Vines, when there is nothing to do, there is a little butterfly... and now we have reached the stage of "something to do".

He summoned the Book of Law and used the "Melting Card" for the first time in a long time - the equipment special effect called [Sin Enhancement].

He used the "Death" from [Earthbound Spirit], the "Moon" from [Shadow Blade], the "Wheel of Fortune" from [Thunderbolt Halberd], and the "Lust" from [Enchanting Aura] to fuse and strengthen Night Demon. They transformed into streams of light, swirling and flying into the card as clear and deep as black crystal.

The Night Demon Vignes, whose all attributes are increased by 20%, was summoned by Aiwass after a long absence!

If a fight were to occur, Vignes, now fully empowered and strengthened by Aiwass, would at least be able to protect Aiwass. Now, having woken from his sleep, Aiwass's mana and card cooldowns had fully recovered.

Not to mention, Aiwass's [Dissolving Soul] ability also allows Aiwass to cast blessings below "medium" without the need for rituals. With his panel strengthened by 20%, even with Aiwass's three buffs, Venis would have no problem defeating Loki in a short period of time!

Aiwass even felt that if the Eternal Pope did not use high-level magic to let the big guys log in and play for him, maybe Vines could fight the Eternal Pope head-on.

"Vignes."

Aiwass called out softly, and the crow that was quietly perched in the corner of the house suddenly opened its blood-red eyes.

It fluttered up and landed on Aiwass's shoulder.

Then, Aiwass picked up his scepter and concentrating on blessing the little crow with three blessings: "strong", "blood-sucking" and "brave".

The Pure White Saint only needs to casually summon a ray of light, but Aiwass needs to stack three layers of BUFF in a row to achieve the same effect... and the numbers are probably much different.

"...The inheritance of the Eternal Saint is powerful."

Aiwass sighed.

"really."

Venes, in his crow form, uttered a melodious, dreamlike voice. "During the Imperial era, a legend circulated among the Moon Children... It was said that if a Moon Child was fortunate enough to absorb the blood of the Eternal Saint, they might even have the chance to become a 'perfect being.'"

"...Perfect?"

Aiwass was stunned for a moment: "The 'perfect person' who has reached the sixth level of transcendence and love?"

It's not that he hadn't heard the word before...it was just too familiar to him.

"My great master, have you even heard of this secret that only exists within the Son of the Moon?"

Vines praised: "You are simply the Lord of All Knowledge."

"You mean, the Perfect Man's job transformation requires the Saint's blood, or that the Moon Child who absorbs the Saint's blood has the potential to become a Perfect Man?"

Aiwass asked.

"How would I know...it's just a legend. I even suspect someone fabricated it, hoping to have the mindless Son of the Moon attack the Saint Candidate, thereby drawing the wrath of the Theocracy and using that momentum to destroy the Son of the Moon. Tell me, is my theory more plausible?"

Vignes spread his wings.

To be honest, this is the case.

——If Aiwass didn’t know about the 2.0 version of the Theocracy, a “perfect” boss would really appear.

Aiwass secretly kept this information in mind, and then took Vines, who was disguised as a crow pet, onto the elevator and headed to the eleventh ring where Cardinal Loki was.

Unexpectedly, Cardinal Loki seemed to have known that Aiwass was coming to see him.

He specially found guides and asked them to wait for Aiwass, and brought Aiwass to him layer by layer.

"You're here."

Loki's voice came through clearly with his back to Aiwass.

"I've asked you to leave before, Aiwass Moriarty. You should understand... this is my expression of goodwill towards you. The implication is that I don't intend to stand with Xiong Tiansi."

Loki turned around, looked at Aiwass, and emphasized, "I am not your enemy, Aiwass. But I know you came today... with murderous intentions.

"I know what you're going to say—I know more than you can imagine."

He said calmly and seriously: "Your father, James Moriarty, is my student. That's why I specifically call you by your full name, just because you are a Moriarty.

"'My past is chasing me, and I'm losing control of myself'... Remember what I said yesterday?"

Cardinal Loki said word by word, "I'm not talking about Supreme Heaven, nor about Xiong Tiansi. He does have brute strength, but that's all.

"'My past'—meaning James Moriarty. My enemy, and also...your enemy.

"My rebellious and crazy student."

Update completed!

A brief revival of the dawn of the country!
