Chapter 1046 Twenty-four Hours

Sherlock's thinking can be said to be simple and clear.

The essence of drama lies in unexpected fate, and a large part of human fate comes from the unpredictable human heart. For this reason, drama can be achieved simply by manipulating human hearts.

——In fact, we just need to do the opposite, that is, exclude the "human heart" part completely.

By collecting enough objective intelligence, we can calculate the absolutely correct "truth". All actions are carried out according to the most rigid and stereotyped mode, without any selfish thoughts, and many contingency plans are set up to eliminate all unexpected interference...

The "nothingness" constructed based on "beauty" and "transcendence" can be cracked through the integration of the paths of "wisdom" and "authority".

But the problem is...

"We don't have much time, Sherlock."

Aiwass emphasized: "The needle has passed zero - it's already the 20th."

Hearing this, Sherlock was startled and realized something.

The old Duke, Anne and Arsene were all confused as to why.

Aiwass looked back at his "real grandfather" and "blood-related mother" and revealed the information: "My wedding with Isabel is scheduled for the 22nd.

"So I must return to Avalon on the evening of the twenty-first at the latest."

"...Is there still such a thing?"

The old duke's voice rose a few notes: "The day after tomorrow?"

Even though it was the first time he met Aiwass, their blood connection was real - just by looking at him, he felt an incomparable sense of familiarity and affinity.

For an old man, there is probably nothing more important than the marriage of his younger generation.

But Anne seemed a little timid.

She wanted to say something, but she was too scared to do so. In the end, she said nothing.

"——Son of the Moon, Swan King, none of this matters."

The old duke said without hesitation: "You should hurry back and get married first. This is ridiculous. You are going to get married in two or three days. Why do you have to come to a foreign country alone to do business? If not, by chance..."

It just so happens that we are all a family - but the old duke did not say it directly. Instead, he was vague and looked at Sherlock angrily: "Is it more important to bring this boy back than for you to get married smoothly?"

"Sherlock is an important friend to Isabel and me."

Aiwass did not evade the question at all and said very seriously: "It is thanks to Sherlock that I met Isabel."

"...That's it."

The old duke fell silent after hearing this.

After all, he didn't know what level of harm this "Empty Box" incident involved, so it was understandable that he wanted to put it aside.

But Aiwass didn't dare to do that - after all, marriage is not just about the wedding day. There are still a lot of troubles to do afterwards... Once it gets involved, I don't know how long it will take to get here.

If Sherlock were to investigate alone, he might get into trouble. His personal strength was too weak and did not match his wisdom. But leaving Isabel behind and following Sherlock would be even more outrageous.

Now that I think about it carefully, I'm afraid that the reason why Aiwas only remembered this incident now, or the dream monks who passed by the Iris Kingdom did not realize that the dream world was closed, may also be due to the influence of the Box of Nothingness.

As long as you don’t see it clearly, you will ignore it; and if you notice it, you will be misled by it. This is also a very advanced "hiding", and it is better than hiding it in a specific place - it hides the whole thing in the dead corner of attention and memory.

"——It is better to solve this matter once and for all, so that I can go back without any worries."

Aiwass said so.

"Don't worry, go back..."

Suddenly, the old Duke looked at Anne and said, "Then you don't have to come back, right?" Hearing this, Anne, who had been lowering her head because of something, suddenly opened her eyes wide, raised her head and looked at Bing Xin Gong and then at Aiwass hopefully, but lowered her head again.

Aiwass is not a wooden man like Sherlock.

He had a very good grasp of people's hearts - from the very beginning, Aiwass guessed what Anne meant.

She wanted to attend Aiwass's wedding.

But now, Aiwass is called Aiwass Moriarty. His biological parents are dead, and there are many people who knew them. At this time, it is not appropriate for Anne to show up again. If she pretends to be Aiwass's mother by saying that she was "faking her death", it would be even more outrageous.

After all, she was not the one who actually gave birth to Aiwass. She was not even the one who married Aiwass's father... and she did not take care of Aiwass when he grew up.

Unlike the old Duke, Duke Argonne de Vendôme could really attend Aiwas's wedding as an elder. After all, Anne Alexandre was indeed once called Anne de Vendôme. But Anne was very embarrassed - she had only known Aiwas for less than an hour.

This made it impossible for her to make that request anyway.

Aiwass still has some reservations about this.

Unlike Haena or Yulia, Anne obviously knew the Swamp Man technology. Even the old duke, an outsider, knew about it.

Considering that the developer of Swamp Man technology was Aiwass's grandfather...it is even very likely that she voluntarily participated in the experiment and voluntarily separated out another self.

Maybe it was because she wanted to challenge the "Cold Curse" in her blood, or maybe it was because she knew that Aiwass's father Julio would not be recognized by the old duke, or maybe Julio was unwilling to leave Avalon and go to Iris to be a son-in-law. Of course, there may be other possibilities...

But no matter what her motives were, Anne's choice to return to her hometown was actually equivalent to choosing separation.

"Of course I will come back. After all, this is also my...home."

At this point, Aiwas's expression became somewhat stiff.

The Duke of Vendôme was too unfamiliar to him. Even though the old duke could recognize his identity at a glance and accepted him... this place was still too unfamiliar to Aiwass.

Even the Palace of Silver and Tin is far less magnificent and luxurious than the Duke of Vendôme's Palace.

He also solemnly requested the old man: "I also ask you to go back with me and attend the wedding as... my elder."

Aiwass didn't know whether Isabel's father Albert could come back on time. But Isabel had said fiercely that if he didn't come back, she would treat him as dead. Aiwass didn't doubt whether Isabel could be so cruel. Sometimes, Her Majesty the Queen would stick to her word.

If he can't come back...the old Duke of Vendôme might be the only direct elder between the two of them who can appear.

——The others three generations ago have all died completely.

It makes people very uncomfortable.

"Although I haven't been out for a long time..."

The old duke smiled with satisfaction: "But if it is your request, then of course I am willing to do so."

Sherlock made an awkward sound: "Well, Aiwass..."

"——Of course, I will also solve the problem of the empty box."

Aiwass changed the subject and promised: "Give me 24 hours, tonight at the latest, and I will solve all the problems."

"it is good."

The Duke of Vendôme said without hesitation: "I have been following you for the past 24 hours. No matter what you want to do, the Vendôme family will fully support you.

"However, if this matter cannot be resolved within 24 hours... you should just go back to Avalon. The problem with Iris won't take long, and you can come back in a few months to solve it. As for the rebellion, you youngsters don't need to worry about it."

——If it really takes a few months, it will definitely be too late.

Aiwass complained in his heart.
