Pastor's Tantra

"Actually... it's probably not true to say that no one in the Vendôme family has become a son of the moon."

Suddenly, Sherlock spoke.

Several people immediately focused their attention on Sherlock.

Old Argon's brows furrowed slightly, and he showed no anger or authority, naturally releasing a strong power.

Aiwass rarely sees this temperament in others. It is the same whether it is the princes and daughters of Star Antimony, Isabel, the cardinals of the Theocracy or even the Pope... The last person who made Aiwass feel this way was the old queen of Avalon. Other than that, this is Arthur as seen from the promotion ceremony.

Although Aiwass does not have the level of the authoritarian path, one can guess that this is the special aura unique to the authoritarian path.

I'm afraid that in addition to the path of beauty, the old Duke also has levels of authority. And it should be pretty low.

…Wait, beauty and authority?

Thinking of this, Aiwass was slightly stunned. Something suddenly occurred to him.

And Sherlock continued: "The Son of the Moon cannot cross flowing water, and cannot enter other people's houses without permission - although the river at the door can indeed form a river to prevent the Son of the Moon from entering... However, it can only defend' A child of the moon who flies in as a bat or walks on foot.

"The taboos of the Children of the Moon are reflected in their 'motivations'. They just dare not do it, cannot do it, and are afraid of doing it - rather than 'can't do it no matter what.' Just like the Children of the Moon are afraid of flowing water, But you can cross the border by boat... Isn't the Fallen Division crusade organized by Aiwass an example? "

"……really."

Aiwass nodded in approval.

This is the fundamental reason why the Son of the Moon of Star Antimony must control the Admiralty. The sea is the Moon Children's Achilles' heel, so they must keep their navy in their own hands.

——This is also the violation that Aiwass felt when he entered the door first.

Although this river can theoretically stop the Moon Child, it is purely a dream to rely on it to stop the Moon Child. It is probably equivalent to adding a security guard at the entrance of the community to prevent thieves. It can only be said to be a good defense. If you really want to get in, there are many ways - whether by car or boat, you can pass through this seemingly perfect protective circle.

Compared to the protection that prevents Moon Children from entering...

"It's closer to... the prison that prevents the Children of the Moon from escaping. Isn't it, Your Majesty the Duke?"

Sherlock said slowly.

Sherlock, who had returned to his youthful form after being promoted to the fourth energy level, had glaring eyes at this moment. It actually had a vague power that was as powerful as the bright sun.

"It seems that your investigation has been quite fruitful, Mr. Detective."

The Duke of Argan was not angry.

The old man's restored bright emerald green pupils stared at Sherlock, and the corners of his tight mouth slightly raised: "As expected of the famous Sherlock Hermes... Why don't we talk about the investigation results here."

"...are you here, father?"

Annie was a little uneasy: "But, Aiwass..."

She didn't want Aiwass involved.

But Aiwass shook his head silently.

He stretched out his left hand and gently pressed it on the back of Annie's right hand which was placed on her thigh. His attitude is self-evident.

The touch from his fingertips was surprisingly not that young. Even after receiving Aiwass' treatment, Anne's hands were no longer as cold as before... However, the clearly raised cyan blood vessels on the back of her hands and the skin that was no longer as delicate as jade also proved that she was no longer as cold as before. young.

Annie looked back at Aiwass in surprise. After a few seconds... she suddenly smiled.

As if a heavy burden had been lifted, she breathed a sigh of relief. There was a slight dampness in the eyes.

But Sherlock didn't care about this - after getting the old Duke's permission, he closed his eyes slightly to collect his thoughts, and then said calmly: "As you said, the third rebellion that happened in the land of Iris in the past ’, there is indeed a hidden third-party promoter behind it.”

Hearing this, Aiwass and Yassen also turned their attention to Sherlock and listened attentively. After all, this was the reason why Sherlock was "kidnapped". They risked getting lost in the dream world and finally rescued him...

If they can't figure it out or the secret behind it isn't worth it, it always feels like their time has been wasted.

Only Anne didn't seem to be listening much - she was staring at Aiwass blankly, as if she was thinking about something or missing something.

Aiwass asked with interest: "A third party?"

"That's right."

Sherlock nodded: "Different from the history that most people know - Iris's most famous 'Third Rebellion', which cut off the head of their king and ended the era of kings and nobles, was behind the first The pusher...is actually the king himself."

"The secret nature of the 'Third Rebellion' operation is actually a drama directed by the last monarch, 'Mad King' Ludwig II himself."

Ludwig II…

That was the name of the last monarch of the Iris Kingdom in Aiwass' impression.

He was obsessed with drama, even to the point of going crazy - in modern terms, he was a chuunibyou.

Before he was dubbed the "Mad King" by the people of Iris, his nickname was actually "The Swan King".

This is a story from an opera called "The Swan Knight" - this opera also has a prototype on Earth, called "Lohengrin". The famous "Wedding March" comes from this opera where the newlyweds have a bad ending.

The gist of the opera is that a mysterious knight who calls himself the Swan Knight meets Princess Elsa in a dream and claims that if she encounters a threat, she can call him and he will fly to help immediately. Later, Elsa really encountered a desperate crisis on the verge of death. When she called the Swan Knight, he really came to help her defeat the enemy easily.

He was so powerful that he was like a saint, with noble character and flawless. Elsa fell in love with the knight who saved her, and the knight also fell in love with the princess's "beauty". He was willing to protect her country, defeat all her enemies, and swear to be loyal to her forever, with only one small and only request: you can never ask my name or where I come from.

Elsa naturally agreed to this simple request. But later, under the constant instigation of others' malice and jealousy, she still became curious about this question, so she couldn't help asking this question on her wedding night.

So the Swan Knight sighed, revealed his true identity in accordance with the oath he had made, and left Elsa forever. He said that if Elsa could resist asking this question for a year - only a year would be enough - he could actually stay forever. But before leaving, the Swan Knight still defeated all the villains and enemies around Elsa to do the last thing to protect her.

- This is a very famous opera in Iris.

Just like Isabel was fascinated by "Lulu's Magic Flute" in her childhood, young Ludwig also had the talent of the way of beauty... This made him unable to get rid of the curse of this opera for the rest of his life.
