Chapter 368

Although Sherlock Holmes could not be convicted because Milverton's body was not found, he stayed in Scotland Yard when the outside world was in chaos because of the crime - of course, it was no longer the previous interrogation room, but an empty room arranged by McCoff for Sherlock Holmes that was suitable for quiet reasoning.

In addition, Sherlock Holmes also obtained a lot of internal files of Scotland Yard to assist in his reasoning.

While Sherlock Holmes was busy sorting out the situation and William James Moriarty was killing nobles according to the list, Albert, who had just been questioned by the members of the House of Lords like a storm, was immediately taken to Queen Victoria by McCaffrey.

"'Even if he's the Lord of Crime, he's still my younger brother'... huh?" Lansemello, who had used suggestion magic to lower his presence and directly entered the room where Queen Victoria was meeting with officials, stood in the corner and watched Queen Victoria order McCollum to bring Sherlock Holmes here. "It seems that William is also a successful hero 'protagonist' creator."

"In order to speed up the process, William has left everyone behind and is acting alone. I will change my route and follow Sherlock here to see what is going on."

Because of the Queen's request, Sherlock Holmes was finally officially released from the Scottish Yard. The first thing the detective who had just caught the correct answer did after leaving the Scottish Yard was to apologize to his partner, and then he followed his partner's reminder to put on a tie and do his hairstyle to meet the Queen.

Everything was like a play performed on the stage, proceeding strictly according to the arrangement of the script - Queen Victoria handed the task of arresting the "Lord of Crime" William James Moriarty to the "consulting detective" Sherlock Holmes. The protagonists of "The Last Case" have all gathered, waiting for the final curtain to open.

"...Okay, while we still have some time, let's sort out the situation based on the intelligence we have received." Lansemero stood on the spire of the castle tower and opened the communication to talk to the control room and the two people who were still wearing fake noble identities. "First of all, judging from the spiritual foundation of Sherlock and William, their heyday should be the period of the Whitechapel case that we first encountered."

“Wasn’t the last case ‘Reichenbach’ his heyday? Also, why were their heydays at the same time?” Olgamari asked.

"At least for William, this is definitely not his heyday - I can be sure of that." Lansemello looked into the distance and exhaled a white mist in the cold winter air. "The second point is William's treasure - the goal, implementation method and origin of the "Moriarty Plan"."

"They acted to make this country a better place. Their method was a show crime. It originated from Albert's commission to Professor William." Kirshtalia folded up the formal coat in his hand and walked to Olgamari to answer Lansemello's question. "The three brothers are accomplices."

"The effects of the Noble Phantasm and the records about Robespierre in this world prove that the 'Lord of Crime' will definitely die." Ritsuka Fujimaru in the control room shook his finger and gave the three people an example, "Just like Angramanu's 'All the Evil in This World' - people need an object to vent their anger on. Regardless of whether Professor William is dead or not, the 'Lord of Crime' will definitely die."

"But the problem now seems to be..." Olgamari cautiously confirmed to Lansemello, "Professor William at this time has no desire to live - it's as if he has tacitly accepted to be a living sacrifice, and he has killed several nobles in a row without restraint..."

“The traces people leave on this world represent the things they have yet to accomplish, and humans yearn for immortality because even if they don’t think about it, their subconscious will urge them to complete their unfinished business. This is the source of their regrets, their sorrows, and their pains.”

"But this is also the loveliness of human beings." Before leaving the planet and entering the sea of ​​stars, Phoenix Chaldea obtained a girl with blond hair and red eyes who looked like an innocent princess through the sharing of the spirit base map of New Chaldea. "Then, this person's actions are so fast that they are unreasonable, precisely because he is ready to rush into the embrace of death."

"...For William now, the most obvious unfinished business is to kill all those bad nobles." Lansermello sighed and looked at the boiling city under his feet in the cold wind. "Although he himself knows that the bad nobles cannot be killed, he must at least kill all the nobles on the list."

"That's right. His strong goal suppressed other unfinished business in his subconscious. That's why he took the initiative to give up his life. You should know this very well, right?" The princess in the white dress asked Lansemello with a smile, "Miss Avalon Le Fay, the Paradise Fairy, who repeatedly solved problems by letting herself die?"

"I remember that you shouldn't be so lively in this spiritual base - Archetype: Earth." Lansemero frowned and looked up and down at the princess who suddenly appeared in the control room. "Of course, even Elquet would not use this tone to mock me -"

"Cough cough cough!" Fujimaru Ritsuka suddenly coughed loudly a few times, interrupting Lancermello's meditation. At the same time, he opened the chat system that came with the work system and sent a text message to Lancermello.

"Fujimaru Ritsuka: "Soul of the Stars"! 】

"I just had a brief chat with Her Majesty the Queen." Archetype: Earth smiled at Lansemello. "After all, you were born in the AD, so for her, you are the next generation of the same family line, right? I learned some methods of dealing with the next generation from Her Majesty the Queen."

“……!”

The moment he received the message from Fujimaru Ritsuka, Lancer Mello's eyes widened in surprise, and a huge amount of information flooded into Lancer Mello's brain from the smile of Archetype: Earth in the image in front of him.

The universe was born in a huge explosion, and the planets were formed slowly over many years after the explosion.

Carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, helium.

Large amounts of gas and interstellar dust.

These things gathered together, and after nearly a million years, the "Star Egg" was finally formed.

Compared to the final celestial body, the number of "Star Eggs" is as numerous as the countless drops of water that make up the ocean.

The formation of a "Star Egg" is quite simple, but the difficulty of becoming a celestial body is still there. A "Star Egg" needs a lot of luck to become a real planet.

Is the temperature of the planet's core appropriate?

The prerequisite for becoming a planet is whether a star exists.

Are there compatriots who are destined to collide with each other?

Is the neighboring galactic "body" too close?

And the most important point -

Does this universe have a "soul" that can give birth to life?

Life is "attraction".

When "Star Eggs" are formed in a space with this kind of directionality, planets with the potential to nurture intelligent life will be born.

The so-called "Soul of the Star" is a life that existed before the birth of the planet and then became the heart of the celestial body. In the current situation, the "Soul of the Star" does exist as a certain form of life.

In the magic world, it is called the prototype of creation——

Archetype.

That being said, Archetype is different from Avalon Le Fay "The Fairies".

Although it existed before the birth of the planet, Archetype is not the "first life" on this planet - the prototype of the Paradise Fairies is the first Paradise Fairy who actually exists, Avalon Le Fay, who is qualified as a Grand Servant with the rank of Saber.

After all, it is the "soul" and the "heart", which is no different from non-existence in terms of material.

The Archetype that appears on a planet as a real life form will not exist until intelligent life appears on the planet - until the primate civilization is most prosperous and the primate form is most mature, the Archetype will descend in the form of the primate that dominates the planet at that time.

——Just like what New Chaldea records, following the Hikik that Tepeu saw.

That is the Archetype of the South American rumor zone. Since the primates of that rumor zone are Dinos, the container of the Archetype is of course also Dinos.

Regardless of whether it is the news belt where Phoenix Chaldea is located or the pan-human history where New Chaldea is located, the race occupying the primate position on the planet is human - so Archetype appears in the form of human.

"...Ah, so that's why it's called Archetype instead of Prototype." Lansemello pressed his forehead and sighed helplessly. "'Star Soul' - not only is it the prototype of life, it's also the prototype of this planet."

"Then let's continue with the previous topic - I'll talk about the issue of 'Star Soul' when I come back." Lansemero clapped his hands and scanned the faces of everyone in the image. "The relationship between William and Sherlock now is different from the William and Sherlock we know - so their story will definitely not end here, but William has made it clear that he is determined to die..."

"Then we just need to awaken the unfinished business buried deep in his subconscious." Archetype: Earth pointed out the direction for everyone before leaving the control room. "After all, people without unfinished business will not leave a trace in this world, and no matter which world it is, everyone knows that Holmes's nemesis is Moriarty."

Meanwhile, in the greenhouse of Moriarty House, Fred stared at the letter on his desk and made a difficult decision.

——In this plan, the one who attacked the Lord of Crime was the hope of the British Empire... the famous detective Sherlock Holmes. So, we can only leave this matter to Holmes who pulled the trigger in the end...!
