"How are you sure?"
Daniel was extremely curious. He didn't see Freya's flaw at all. She had always behaved normally.
"Tonight's party is only known to the nobles who received the invitation letter, but the prisoners still came to the door."
On the sofa, Ma Wei crossed his legs, loosened his tie, and assumed a comfortable posture: "King Ubli I was furious, indicating that he realized that someone had leaked the specific locations of the nobles, and the person who knew the specific locations of the nobles was definitely not Commoners are either family members, servants, or parties of these nobles."
"Based on these speculations alone, we can't doubt Freya!"
"I haven't finished yet..." Mavey said with a smile: "Why do you think Butters Brave accurately appeared on the balcony of the second prince's villa?"
Hearing this, Daniel was slightly startled. He looked at Laiwen and seemed to understand something: "You mean, Butters Brave knows that the second prince is hiding in the study?"
"Probably."
"why?"
"Because the person who leaked the location information knows the second prince very well. Not only does he understand, but he also knows the actions that the second prince may take when encountering a crisis..."
Holmes, who was sitting in the fire and went to throw wood into the fire to make the fire burn more vigorously, said at this time: "I also suspect that the location information was leaked by Duke Chevalier."
"When the explosion occurred, everyone was in the banquet hall except Duke Chevalier and the second prince. After the explosion, all the guests rushed to escape from the villa. Even the servants looked panicked, but Duke Chevalier He looked like he didn’t know what was going on.”
"Duke Chevalier and the second prince have known each other since childhood and know each other's personalities very well. As for the secret room hidden in the villa, Duke Chevalier must know the existence of the secret room even if he doesn't know the specific location, so she is the most suspicious. "
The letter thought for a while and said: "That's not right. If the second prince doesn't follow the routine today and escapes from the villa with all the guests, wouldn't Freya's plan be ruined? How is this different from gambling?"
"The premise of gambling is equal probability." Holmes narrowed his eyes and said: "If Duke Chevalier takes advantage of Nicholas's suspicion and knows that he will come to look for him after the explosion, the balance of probability will tilt to one side. "
Watson, who knew Holmes very well, suddenly realized: "The second prince was not in the banquet hall when the explosion occurred. When he heard the noise, he would rush to the banquet hall to check the situation. Among the guests tonight, the only one who has the ability to protect him is Mr. Nicholas! So! He will definitely find Mr. Nicholas and join him as soon as possible! And Mr. Nicholas, who is suspicious of Duke Chevali, will go to the bathroom to look for traces of Duke Chevali. In this way, he will miss the best opportunity to escape!"
"Not only because Nicholas has the ability to protect himself, but more importantly, Nicholas is very important to the second prince now. If Nicholas is killed tonight, the Manstein Potion Company will fall apart, and the network of relationships that the second prince has high hopes for will be lost. Effective." Holmes held a briar pipe in his mouth and said, "This alone is enough for the second prince to find Nicholas as soon as something happens."
"such a pity."
Ma Wei shook his head and sighed: "Originally I wanted to promote Sleepy Toast tonight, but after being disturbed like this, everyone lost interest..."
Holmes smoked his pipe and said with a smile: "There is no shortage of sales for good products. I have tried sleep toast, and the effect is really amazing. The side effects are much smaller than injecting cocaine. I have become a little obsessed with it recently."
"Sleepy Toast is fine for entertainment, but it must not be eaten in large doses. No matter what it is, eating too much is not good."
"I only use things like cocaine and sleep toast when I'm bored. As long as there is an investigation, I will not touch them."
Holmes was sucking on his pipe. He didn't have time to smoke at the banquet, and he didn't dare to smoke in the secret room, which made him addicted to cigarettes. He kept smoking. The more he smoked, the brighter his eyes became: "The current situation is very disturbing. Excited, Professor James Morea, Mr. Butler, the underground black market, Duke Chevalier... These big names are like fine wine hidden in the cellar, waiting for me to reveal their mysterious veil... "
"Don't follow up on Freya's matter." Ma Wei said with a serious expression: "Let's split up. You are responsible for investigating Professor James Morea, and I am responsible for Freya and Mr. Butler. In short, protecting yourself is the most important."
Diloch Holmes is one of the few beings who is in line with logical truth. He has proven himself with practical actions. This kind of talent, Ma Wei will definitely introduce it to the church, and he will also be consulted on the laws formulated by the church and the kingdom in the future. The importance of Holmes is no less important than that of Dino and Laiwen, the top leaders of the church.
"I have a sense of proportion." Holmes said quietly: "I pride myself on being a master of fighting. Ordinary criminals can't do anything to me. But now is the age of magic. People must be more restrained in their conduct and conduct. No more high-profile investigations."
"Just be aware of it. Once the Four Supreme Pillars take action, the living statues I gave you won't be able to stop them."
Dongdong!
Winter winter winter!
There was a knock on the door, and the room suddenly became quiet, with only the crackling sound of firewood in the fireplace. Ma Wei motioned to the writers to be silent, got up and took off his coat, leaving only a thin shirt, and opened the door... ..
Outside the door, there was a pale and bloodless face.
"Your Highness? It's so late, why don't you rest?"
Looking at the second prince standing outside the door, wearing pajamas, Ma Wei looked surprised.
"I can't sleep...can I talk?"
"Well...come in."
Ma Wei stepped aside and the second prince walked into the room. When he saw Holmes and Watson sitting on the sofa, he was stunned for a moment: "Are you there too?"
"Such a big thing happened tonight. I suspected that someone had leaked information about the noble gathering, so I asked Mr. Holmes to come over and deduce it."
"It's time to think about it..." The second prince didn't think much and glanced at the table: "Nicholas, do you still have sleep toast?"
At the banquet, Ma Wei prepared a lot of sleepy toast and planned to sell it to the arriving guests. However, unexpectedly, a fire broke out in the villa, causing the toast he prepared to be consumed by the fire. After all, no one would hold a piece of toast while escaping. Toast.
"There seems to be another piece..." Ma Wei winked at Laiwen: "Felix, go and get it."
"knew."
Laiwen walked into the inner room, activated the Heart of the Jungle and disappeared instantly. He went to look for Sleeping Toast elsewhere. With the blessing of teleportation magic, he returned to Kensington Palace in a short while. When he entered the living room, he also had more in his hand. A whole piece of toast placed in a paper towel.
Seeing the sleeping toast, the second prince couldn't wait to take it over, cut off a piece with the knife on the table, stuffed it whole into his mouth and chewed it, then leaned on the sofa and let out a comfortable moan.
His tense body gradually relaxed. After a few minutes, the second prince opened his eyes again. Under the illumination of the fire, his face regained some color. He picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip. The figure of Butters Brave will appear, and there will be endless flames. The pressure is too great... I don’t know when I will catch Butters Brave, I have to kill him with my own hands!”
】
Butters Brave must be out of reach. Now he has become part of the Witch Spirit's puppet. Where can he catch him?
But Ma Wei was a little curious about the fact that Butters Brave came to seek revenge on the second prince.
"Your Highness, how did Butters Brave find you?" Mavey asked: "How old were you ten years ago? How could you provoke him?"
The second prince was silent for a while: "Barters Brave was originally the bishop of Yinling District, a member of the College of Cardinals, and a believer in Nande, the goddess of wealth. He is qualified to compete for the position of archbishop..."
"Ten years ago..." Holmes interrupted: "I remember that 10 years ago, the church seemed to have elected a new archbishop?"
"Yes, Archbishop Brandon took office 10 years ago." The second prince said: "After the previous archbishop who believed in Nande, the goddess of wealth, passed away in old age, the position of archbishop became vacant. After the internal election of the church, it was finally It was Archbishop Brandon who stood out, but Bartus Brave refused to accept it and repeatedly made trouble, so the church arrested him and locked him in a dungeon to let him reflect. As a result, instead of reflecting, he yelled and even insulted the Pope. , insulted the goddess, committed a very serious heretical crime, and ended up like this..."
Ten years ago, God had not yet come, and the power of the Kingdom of Windsor was still in the hands of Parliament and the monarch. The power of the church had declined and was no longer its former glory.
A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Although the church is in decline, it is still the state religion of the Kingdom of Windsor. The king often listens to mass. Many nobles are members of the church. It is definitely right to have a good relationship with the church.
Mavey suspected that the election 10 years ago was unfair, which led to Butters Brave's rebellion, or that Butters Brave lost the election and went crazy...
Judging from the results, it is estimated that the second prince did something to help Archbishop Brandon ascend to power. This can also explain the reason why Archbishop Brandon supported the second prince.
Ma Wei didn't expose what happened 10 years ago. It was too long ago and Butters Brave was dead. What would happen if he told her?
The church would not rehabilitate Butters Brave, and it was impossible for Mavey, a foreigner, to go and cheer for Butters Brave.
"Let's talk about other things."
The second prince, who didn't want to delve further into the case 10 years ago, looked at the communication: "What's going on with Charles? Have you been attacked too?"
"Yes." The letter nodded: "In the middle of the banquet, someone suddenly attacked, and the scene was chaotic. I took Helena to find the eldest prince, but I couldn't find him."
The second prince sneered: "Charles must be hiding! Of course you can't find him, he is just a coward! Since the last attack on Clarence House, Charles dug a secret tunnel underground. Can you guess the secret? Where does the road end?"
"It can't be St. Paul's Cathedral..."
"It's St. Paul's Cathedral!" the second prince said with disdain: "Clarence Palace is very close to St. Paul's Cathedral. If an unexpected situation occurs, he can reach St. Paul's Cathedral to seek asylum from the Pope within 10 minutes! This is not What's the turtle? Charles is probably fine. How are the other guests?"
"Many people were injured..." The letter recalled: "The demon hunters arrived in time, and the priest responsible for protecting Clarence Palace also launched the immortal field immediately, and no one died. ....”
"What the hell!"
The second prince cursed angrily, obviously unhappy with Charles' luck.
In fact, the church has sent many monks, priests, and bishops to the residences of nobles everywhere. When an unexpected situation occurs, the field of eternal life will be deployed as soon as possible to ensure the safety of the nobles. It is precisely because of this that the second prince , the eldest prince and the others dare to hold a banquet.
The second prince's villa was also stationed by a priest who believed in the goddess of health, Wilder. But the problem was that when the prisoners launched an attack, they accidentally broke the gas pipe, causing an explosion in the banquet hall. At the time of the explosion, the priest wearing the ring of the eternal realm was... Standing in the explosion zone and tasting wine!
If the priest stationed at the villa was not killed, the nobles would definitely be safe!
In tonight's attack, the second prince was most affected, and a scolding was inevitable.
"Nicholas, tomorrow morning, you have to go to St. Paul's Cathedral with me. The Pope wants to see you by name."
"See me?" Ma Wei frowned: "Why?"
"Because you were the one who witnessed Butters Brave's escape." The second prince picked up a cigar: "It's not just you, Mr. Holmes, Felix... In short, everyone present at the time must go and get some rest early. , don’t be late tomorrow morning.”
After saying that, the second prince picked up the sleep toast on the table in frustration and left the room. He came here to get the sleep toast. The heavy pressure prevented him from falling asleep. Only the sleep toast could make him temporarily forget everything.
After the second prince left, Lai Wen couldn't help but said: "Brother, it doesn't seem like a good thing for the Pope to see you in person!"
"What are you afraid of?"
Ma Wei leaned back and said calmly: "He is the Pope, am I not the Pope?"
"It seems that the Church of the Three Goddess of Destiny really attaches great importance to the Thousand-Change Mask." Holmes exhaled a puff of smoke: "In order to find the Thousand-Change Mask, they used too much power. The mask you got is probably not an ordinary extraordinary item."
"yes...."
Ma Wei asked Edward to take out the Thousand-Change Mask, knocked on the edge as solid as steel, and muttered: "The last extraordinary item that attracted the attention of the church was the White Candle. At that time, the Holy Light Mithril of the Abundance Cult would personally trace it. , and even invaded the territory of the Romanov Kingdom, their mission is only to communicate with the God White Candle..."
The divine white candle opened the way to the endless darkness for Ma Wei, and the real pocket watch allowed him to meet Buggy. It can be said that that was the beginning of everything. Now he has unexpectedly obtained the thousand-changing mask...
There is a high probability that it is also a sacred object left by a certain god!
