Chapter 449 Are you really here this time?
February 13th, Sunday, sunny.
Little Sherlock was dressed neatly, carrying a small shoulder bag, and went to the Temple of Silver and Tin early in the morning.
It was completely different from what Sherlock had expected at first.
His parents not only did not resist the shrunken Sherlock, but loved him extremely much. Their attitude was completely different from that towards him as an adult - even though they all knew that this was the same person, the external body still had a great influence.
I have been living at home all this time. After all, although Sherlock's soul is that of a mature and reliable adult, his appearance and body are still that of a child.
There was no way his parents would let little Sherlock go out and live on his own again - the adult version of Sherlock might only become malnourished if he abused his body, but eating and sleeping were undoubtedly much more important to a child.
After Sherlock's protests were ineffective, he was relocated to Hermes Manor. In this position, he obviously couldn't take on many major cases, and could only do research and write papers at home. Therefore, he rarely went out.
This was his first time in the Temple of Silver and Tin... Of course, part of the main reason was that he was afraid to see Isabel.
When he didn't recognize Lulu as Isabel, his foul mouth put Lulu under considerable pressure. Now that Isabel was the Queen of Avalon, Sherlock felt somewhat guilty.
Although he knew Isabel wouldn't care about such things, Sherlock himself was sensitive to them. Otherwise, he wouldn't have moved out of his home that year.
But today, I have to come here anyway——
Find Aiwass to settle the score!
Although few children come here and no children can easily enter the Palace of Avalon, Sherlock is undoubtedly an exception.
After all, he was a third-level mage and lawmage, so he was still a significant threat. It would be bad if there was a misunderstanding.
Therefore, although little Sherlock had never been to the Temple of Silver and Tin, Aiwass had already informed the Queen's guards transferred from the Theocracy of Sherlock's true identity to avoid accidental injury.
The Queen's guards transferred from the Theocracy now know that this child is actually Sherlock Hermes who has been missing for two months.
Sherlock had no objection to this - he had wanted to keep his identity secret because he had a conflict with his family.
Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved and both parties have forgiven each other... Sherlock has simply restored his real name.
After little Sherlock expressed his desire to see Aiwass, he was taken away by the Queen's guards who arrived. The elf girl with long light golden hair, who looked no more than eighteen or nineteen years old, patted Sherlock's head lovingly, then took his hand and led him in.
Aiwass was not in his bedroom, nor in his study, but in the park behind the Hall of Silver and Tin.
After Sherlock was led over, he first politely greeted the Griffin Minister who was lying at the door of the backyard.
It is three meters tall when lying on the ground, and its wingspan is over ten meters.
This old griffin, whose lifespan was practically equal to the history of Avalon, was so old that even Ligeia had to pay her respects. Now, it lay on the square, pure white jade, its paws tucked into its lap, its eyes squinting, and it comfortably basked in the exceptionally warm sun.
Hearing Sherlock's respectful greeting, the old griffin opened his eyes and saw little Sherlock, and a human-like smile of love appeared on his bird face.
"Long time no see, little Sherlock. You seem... a little younger than last time."
The Griffin Minister replied gently, "Are you here to play with Aiwass? Come in quickly."
In the eyes of griffins, humans are like cats, adorable to them. No matter how old, ugly, or fat they are, they are still cute.
But no matter what they look like, kittens are undoubtedly the cutest. For this reason, griffons tend to be more friendly toward children. However, griffons also have a certain degree of face blindness, making it difficult for them to distinguish the specific age and appearance of humans.
Although Sherlock looked like a teenager instead of twenty-five or twenty-six years old, in the eyes of the Griffin Minister, he didn't look much different.
Sherlock saluted respectfully to the Griffin Minister again before walking quickly inside.
In the early spring garden, Isabel was sitting in the pavilion with a drawing board in front of her, while Aiwass was riding a pure white horse, riding slowly in the open space.
When he saw little Sherlock from afar, a mischievous smile appeared on Aiwas' face.
He kicked his horse's belly and charged towards little Sherlock with great momentum!
Sherlock didn't avoid or give way, but just stared at Aiwass with dead eyes. And Aiwass really stopped the reins when he was very close to Sherlock.
"You're very brave."
Aiwass said with a smile: "You trust me so much?"
"ha."
Sherlock just sneered: "Go ahead and hit me. Anyway, you have to help me heal it after you hit me."
He glanced at the white horse under Aiwass and guessed what he was doing: "Practicing riding?"
Aiwass is now training in riding skills in advance to prepare for going abroad.
After all, when Aiwas goes abroad, he will no longer have such a convenient and intelligent griffin as a means of transportation.
The griffin would take the initiative to take care of humans, just like a human carrying a cat or dog across the street. So even if Aiwass was not good at riding, the griffin would not let him fall accidentally - unless the human was really moving around a lot.
Although the Theocracy also has extraordinary creatures such as Pegasus and unicorns, Pegasus is the mount of the Pope's guards, while the rarer unicorn can only be ridden by cardinals, and the additional requirement is that the rider must be a pure girl.
There is no doubt that Aiwass has nothing to do with cardinals, purity, or girls.
Even in Star Antimony, where alchemical technology is highly advanced, horses are far from obsolete. On the contrary, in Avalon, the kingdom of knights, most knights have never encountered a horse. This includes Aiwass, of course.
Aiwass didn't deny it, but just smiled, picked up Sherlock and put him behind him. Then he slowly walked towards Isabel.
Based on Sherlock's understanding of Aiwass, he rode so slowly probably because he saw that he didn't hold his waist, so he wanted to suddenly speed up in the middle to scare him.
Sherlock didn't bother hugging Aiwass. He simply swung the bag around his waist in front of him and grabbed Aiwass's platinum hair, which was tied into a ponytail, with both hands.
This is an attitude of mutual kidnapping.
——If you don’t mind the scalp pain, you can suddenly accelerate.
“Tsk.”
Aiwass smacked his lips. "That little thing isn't very friendly."
"Oh."
Sherlock sneered again: "You can call me whatever you want, I will change back in two days anyway."
"That's a shame."
Aiwass said from the bottom of his heart: "But it doesn't matter, you will become an old thing sooner or later."
"...You have so much confidence in me?"
Sherlock was stunned for a moment.
After embarking on the path of "Mithra worshipper", his appearance was no longer affected by the changes in his actual age.
Even if he were to ascend to the sixth level, the "Father of Mithras," he would still be in his forties or fifties. To be considered an "old man," one would have to at least reach this level to barely dabble in the same category.
What Aiwas said means that he believes that he will reach the sixth energy level sooner or later.
He could tell there was no falsehood in Aiwass's words, but because of this, he felt a little embarrassed about his sullen attitude.
While Sherlock was thinking, Aiwass had brought him to Isabel, picked him up with one hand, threw him down, and then jumped off the horse lightly.
"Not angry anymore?"
Aiwass asked with a smile.
"How dare you say that!"
Sherlock glared at him. "Didn't you say you'd come see me yesterday? I waited for you at home all day, and you called me almost tonight to say you couldn't come!"
On Thursday, Sherlock came to the school to look for Aiwass, who would be resting at 14 Ronin Street at noon.
Because she was already very familiar with Aiwass, Lily did not wake him up. Instead, she asked Sherlock to go directly into the bedroom and pat Aiwass awake.
Seeing that Aiwass seemed to be a little sleep deprived and was still taking a nap, Sherlock did not talk to Aiwass directly. He told Aiwass to go to his house on Saturday to discuss the itinerary for the trip to the Church and other issues.
After all, Sherlock was now Aiwass's lieutenant and secretary, and it was he who arranged Aiwass's schedule. Of course, normally it would be the secretary who would come to Aiwass, but they were on good terms now, and Sherlock wanted to take advantage of the situation and entertain Aiwass. Another reason was that he was hesitant to approach Isabel.
Aiwass agreed lazily and went back to sleep. Sherlock assumed he had heard it, so he said goodbye to Lily and left.
"You don't remember what I said that day?"
Sherlock was a little unhappy and tried to find an excuse for Aiwass: "You were confused in your sleep. Did you think you were dreaming when you saw me?"
"……ah!"
Hearing this, Isabel made a surprised sound: "So you two agreed on this yesterday?"
She clasped her hands together and gave an apologetic smile: "I'm sorry, Sherlock. I didn't know you had an appointment... so I left Aiwass with me."
"It is definitely based on you, Your Majesty Isabel."
Sherlock softened immediately, and replied to Isabel helplessly: "I don't have anything to do here..."
Then he looked at Aiwass, his momentum rising again: "I was right, you seductive vixen! You've got your hold on His Majesty and won't let go!"
"Um……"
Only this time, Aiwass was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Indeed, you are right."
It really entangled me and didn't let go.
After all, Isabel had been holding Aiwass the whole time, and Aiwass really didn't want to push her away to call Sherlock. Later, the sun was so warm that he fell asleep... Because Xiong Tiansi harassed Aiwass every night, he hadn't had a good night's sleep in a long, long time.
In the middle of the night, Aiwass woke up for a while and found that Isabel had also fallen asleep in his arms, so he simply closed his eyes again. When they were both fully awake, it was already tea time.
Sherlock was suddenly panicked - what do you mean? Why didn't you refute it this time?
Why don't you refute it?
You're not really going to seduce the master, are you?
Are you really back this time?!
