"How did you see through our disguise?"
Ma Wei poured himself a cup of half-warm black tea and looked at Holmes while drinking it: "There should be no flaws in our identity."
"Your disguise is indeed good. I didn't see through it at first. What really aroused my suspicion was... the way Felix looked at me."
Exhaling a puff of smoke, Holmes said with a smile: "Although I am in the Kingdom of Windsor, I have been paying close attention to the affairs of the Romanov Kingdom."
"A few months ago, you defeated the Church of Wisdom and took control of the Romanov Kingdom. However, several other kingdoms imposed a blockade on you. If you want to break the deadlock and find a way out for the Church of Truth, the Kingdom of Frederick or Windsor is indispensable. The kingdom’s help, and you established the church in New Ross City to connect with the fourth prince Arthur. In view of this situation, I conclude that you will definitely return to the Kingdom of Windsor.”
"In the past two months, I have always felt that it was time for you to come back. I kept paying attention to the surrounding situation, and sure enough, you appeared in London."
Holmes looked into Mavey's eyes and said calmly: "That young man named Jonas should be Daniel Frederick, the first crown prince of the Kingdom of Frederick."
】
"how do you know?"
"More than half a year ago, the Forget Palace on the outskirts of Berlin was attacked. Before that, the combined armies of the Kingdom of Frederick and the Kingdom of Sardinia set foot on the land of the Romanov Kingdom. As a result, within a few days, they suddenly withdrew. There are many rumors that the Church of Truth has taken the first crown prince of the Kingdom of Frederick as a hostage. I didn’t believe it at first, but you are from the Kingdom of Frederick. Including the issue of identity, you also borrowed the Junkers of the Kingdom of Frederick. Noble..." Holmes said: "I don't know what means you used, but you should have received help from the royal family of Frederick."
Have you exposed many flaws?
No, quite the opposite.
Ma Wei felt that they had not exposed any flaws at all, and everything was perfect. It was just that Holmes had been to New Ross City personally, had contact with them, and knew many situations about the Church of Truth, so he could interact with Daniel based on the reaction of the letter. clues to deduce their true identities.
Holmes guessed well. After Ma Wei arrived in London, the first thing he did was to join him. In order to prove his innocence, Holmes also used more extreme methods.
"I'm good at observing micro-expressions. When Baron Bill died, I could see through the identity of Phantom Thief Rose by observing micro-expressions. Now that he appears again, I can still see through him." Holmes showed a confident smile: "He still hates me. ,Is it right?"
"A little bit, he just doesn't like you, I will mediate."
In order to prevent the Rose Phantom Thief from escaping, Holmes hit Laiwen hard with his cane. This blow directly gave Laiwen a concussion, which indirectly led to the later 'mistake' when Ma Wei was caught at the train station.
Although the letter has been taken for revenge, I still feel uncomfortable in my heart. After all, the mighty Rose Phantom Thief actually fell into a small place like New Ross City. Ma Wei is the boss. If you are angry, you can't take it out on him. After thinking about it, I just feel like a punching bag. Became Sherlock Holmes.
The letter was a bit petty, and he was very vindictive. Ma Wei knew this, and so did Holmes.
"I guess you want to use your identity as Nicholas to get into the upper class circle of the Kingdom of Windsor and infiltrate the enemy. Once you have enough say, the enemy's plans and actions will be completely exposed to your eyes. Underneath."
In the slowly rising smoke, Holmes narrowed his eyes: "It's a very risky plan, with high risks and high returns. Once successful, the effect will be amazing."
"The waters of the Kingdom of Windsor are very deep. I have only just scratched the surface. I have not yet fully penetrated and touched the huge internal network of relationships..." Ma Wei said while drinking tea: "The purpose of my coming to the Kingdom of Windsor , not only to promote the truth, but also to fulfill the agreement and the eternal realm of the goddess of health.”
"The realm of immortality?"
"Yes, the realm of immortality that can heal all injuries and diseases. This is the power I dream of. With it, believers in the truth will no longer worry about illness, and everyone will be healthy. The sickle of doom can no longer be Falling on the poor people..."
"It seems that you have not forgotten your original intention." Holmes nodded slowly and said with some relief: "You have already grasped the highest power in the world, and you have not been eroded by power. You still retain your original enthusiasm... This is good."
"So?" Ma Wei put down the tea cup and asked seriously: "In this cold wind sweeping the world, I have not lost myself. I am leading the believers of the truth to create an equal country without exploitation and oppression, and transform the world. Be purer and better, Mr. Holmes, I have fulfilled my promise, now it is your turn."
A year ago, before Holmes left New Ross City, Mavey made an agreement with him. If Mavey did not lose himself in the cold wind sweeping the world and remained enthusiastic, then Holmes would join the Church of Truth and become a member of the Church of Truth. A follower of Junia.
Ma Wei has not forgotten his original intention and has been implementing his ideas. Although he encountered many difficulties, he was not knocked down by them.
The Church of Truth has also been established little by little. From a small church with less than 800 believers in the past, it has become the state religion that dominates the northern continent today, with more than ten million believers?
This is the power of truth, the spark that sets a prairie fire on the dry grassland.
Faced with the olive branch thrown by Ma Wei, Holmes did not answer immediately. He held his pipe in his mouth and pondered for a while before saying: "I am willing to fulfill the agreement and join the Church of Truth, but now I am not able to offer my loyalty to the Goddess of Truth."
This is not hesitation, but dialectics.
Holmes is a smart person. The smarter a person is, the harder it is for him to completely believe in a thing or an idea. He is a materialist dialecticist. He considers that things will pass through many aspects. It is difficult for faith to be born, but once faith is born, It was fiery and crazy.
He won't stop until he burns himself out.
Holmes has never seen the development of the Church of Truth in the Romanov Kingdom with his own eyes. He only heard about it through hearsay. It is impossible for him to be devoted to the truth just because Ma Wei said a few words...
After all, theory is just theory. Whether it can be put into practice is the most important thing.
"I will investigate matters related to lost history and help you find out the potential intentions of the forces behind the scenes." Holmes said: "We will work separately. If I find anything, I will notify you as soon as possible."
"good."
................................................................. ..
The next day, birds chirped outside the window, and someone knocked on the door. Ma Wei opened her eyes and woke up from her sleep. The maid Nancy walked into the room carrying a long dining table and put the dining table on the table. On the bed, in this way, Ma Wei could enjoy breakfast without getting out of bed while lying in the warm quilt.
"Mr. Nicholas, today's breakfast is Burton black tea, Wensleydale ham, Madrid ham, bacon buns and butter biscuits...."
There are silver trays on the long dining table, teacups, saucers, alcohol lamps, and matches. There is also a long-handled stew pot on the iron stand of the alcohol lamp. This is not just for you to make breakfast, but It is used to boil water and make tea.
Windsor people only drink freshly brewed black tea, even in the morning. This habit is called bedside tea, and is generally only enjoyed by nobles and wealthy gentry.
While lighting the alcohol lamp to boil water, Nancy kept her head down, not daring to look into Mavie's eyes. Her cheeks were red, as if she was still reminiscing about the spring night the day before yesterday.
Ma Wei picked up the ironed "Times Morning News" and "Daily Mail" on the table. After comparing them, he chose the more authoritative Times Morning News. Nancy made him tea and drank it. I read while sipping hot tea.
The Times Morning News reported on the exorcism that took place at No. 27 Flower Street last night. The editors of the newspaper did not hesitate to praise them, and praised the demon hunter organization affiliated with the church as "the most powerful barrier in the Kingdom of Windsor" , during which he did not forget to belittle the police who had conflicts with the people, and his ability to stamp them out is evident.
"You are really capable of making nonsense..."
After complaining, Ma Wei threw the newspaper to the table and said to Nancy: "Please bring me a pen and paper, I want to write a letter."
"I know...I know!"
Nancy ran away as if fleeing, and passed by Lai Wen. Lai Wen looked at Nancy's fleeing back and asked suspiciously: "Brother, have you bullied me?"
"Have you ever talked out of your head?"
"No, there is none. Why are you so angry...what does it smell like?"
Lai Wen twitched his nose and sniffed around the room. Suddenly he raised his eyebrows and said, "It smells of smoke, not cigars. It smells familiar...Brother, has Holmes been here?"
Ma Wei said a calm 'hmm', and while eating breakfast, he said without raising his head: "Hurry up and eat. When I finish writing the letter, we will go back to Flower Street and quickly decorate the shop and prepare it." Open for business.”
"Write a letter? To whom?"
"Of course at home."
Mawei picked up a piece of scrambled eggs mixed with chopped ham and cheese and stuffed it into his mouth:
"We didn't bring many medicinal materials when we went out this time. To open for business, of course we need to have goods."
