Chapter 470 Droste Is Very Relieved

Although Drost had known before that "Aleister Crowley" was the eldest daughter of the Earl's family...or maybe the grandmother of the Earl's family.

But when he came back, he was still amazed by the noble beauty of "Miss Crowley".

Her skin was fair, and she was even taller than Drost. Her long straight hair with a damp feeling was as black as night and as smooth as a waterfall.

She was sitting with her legs together where Aiwas Moriarty had just been, with her hands on her cheeks and eyes closed.

Miss Crowley was wearing a low-cut black and red dress that the Star Antimony nobles would wear when attending dinner parties. A black crystal cross decorated with silver hung on her chest. Even though the black stockings on her legs were quite thick, her legs in black boots still looked slender and powerful.

Drost also vaguely saw that there were two lines of words written vertically in silver alchemical fonts on the front of her stockings...but Drost could not understand the specific meaning and could only regard it as some kind of decoration.

That kind of overwhelming nobility was shocking.

It was as if she was the Queen of Avalon, and he was the minister who was meeting the Queen.

"...Miss Crowley."

Minister Droste knelt on one knee respectfully and performed a knight's salute, but because he had become fat like a ball, it looked a little funny.

——Even in the past few years, he had not been so respectful to Queen Sofia.

"Oh, you're back?"

Miss Crowley opened her eyes slightly. A pleasant and playful smile appeared at the corners of her mouth.

Her pupils were disturbing scarlet, shining with dangerous red light.

At that moment, Droste knew... why she looked so young, but gave people the feeling of being sophisticated and dangerous.

——She is not only an amber craftsman, but also a noble child of the moon! Even as "Crowley", she is also one of the heirs of the demon family.

Black phase, red phase, demon family. The three are combined into one.

It is simply the concentrated embodiment of the power of the star antimony!

Drost was secretly shocked, and he had a clear idea: This could not be the disguise of Aiwas Moriarty.

So he suppressed the idea that just came to his mind.

——When he went up to find something before, he always felt that something was wrong... but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

It was as if he had overlooked a very important detail. But Minister Drost couldn't remember what he had forgotten for a while... He just had a faint, invisible suspicion in his heart: Could he be Aiwas, just bluffing?

After all, Aiwas did not show real extraordinary power, but only showed intelligence that was far ahead of himself. And intelligence can also be given to others.

So he had an idea that he shouldn't have: Could these things actually be the intelligence that Sherlock investigated, and Aiwas just used this intelligence to play. Then he found some way to bypass the detection of the real fire?

There was no evidence for Drost's speculation.

Or, he simply didn't give up... trying to find a reason not to give Diomedes to "Aiwas".

But when he came back and saw "Evans" who had become Miss Crawley, Drost felt that his previous guess was so blank, empty and ridiculous.

... This person did not hesitate to change back to his original form, what else is there to say?

He could replace the other person's identity quietly without worrying about being exposed. I'm afraid the real Aiwass Moriarty is dead. In other words, the current "Bishop Moriarty" has been Miss Crawley since some time ago.

Since she can replace Aiwas, she can also replace herself.

From this point of view, how many people in Avalon have been replaced by them?

Drost felt uncontrollable trembling just thinking about it.

It was a kind of fear that his existence and his entire life so far could be easily stolen by others without anyone noticing.

Drost was very familiar with Professor Moriarty. He was a very smart and somewhat dangerous guy.

He often appeared and disappeared, and had friendships with some strange guys. In normal times, in addition to being a university professor, a well-known scholar, a wealthy businessman, and a great philanthropist, he is also a "crime consultant" for Lloyd's.

Lloyd's, which is between the merchant alliance and the underground gangs, has never completely angered the Silver and Tin Palace because of Professor Moriarty's guidance.

It is not just a sponsorship of the knights - if they are just rich, they will only be blackmailed endlessly by the knights.

It is precisely because they always stay above the bottom line, maintain their innocence on the surface, and bring a new order to the Lloyd's District... This is why the Supervisory Bureau is not easy to intervene in the influence of Lloyd's. Because they cannot afford to lose the Lloyd's District, which will inevitably go out of control.

As the slums of the royal capital and also the main labor area, plus the port area. The relationship in the Lloyd's District is intricate, and many problems are linked to the whole body. The Supervisory Bureau is also a responsibility system, and the person in charge must be responsible for his own decisions, so no one dares to touch the problems of the Lloyd's District.

In addition, Lloyd's leads all the gangs, and the deterrence brought by their ruthless and covert means... and the ubiquitous and all-pervasive penetration have made Lloyd's a well-known gray force in recent decades.

All of this comes from Moriarty's personal guidance.

Although Lloyd's had existed for two hundred years, after Prince Lloyd's death, Lloyd's began to spiral out of control. It wasn't until the young Moriarty came into contact with Lloyd's that he reintegrated it into his own resources.

In addition, on the Glass Island or even Avalon... if someone accidentally makes a big mistake or goes to a dead end, they may also be guided to contact Professor Moriarty.

The professors can always provide careful guidance, patiently and generously provide resources and strategies to perfectly solve their problems.

He himself will not take any action, he will just help the other party with an idea, or give the other party some money or write a letter of introduction. But he can always help each other solve the problem perfectly.

In a sense, Professor Moriarty's high reputation on Glass Island comes from this. The people he has helped are all over the Glass Island... most of them are not big shots, but inconspicuous little characters.

The professor never asks for loyalty promised by the other party, nor does he ask for remuneration from the other party. He does not even need the other party to promise to repay the favor in the future... He just wants a vague "friendship". It's as if helping others solve problems is what the professor wants to do.

——What’s the use? What's more, for some extremely vicious criminals, it is even more unreal.

Droste always scoffed at this.

In his opinion, "friendship" that cannot ensure the completion of the bondage is as fragile as a chain woven with straw rope.

But even so, he also felt sincere admiration for Professor Moriarty's keen observation, intelligent mind, and calm approach to life. If the other party is willing to become a detective, the young man from the Hermes family will definitely not be able to compare with him.

Because of this, when Drost unexpectedly discovered that his illegitimate daughter was working as a maid in Moriarty Manor... it felt very tricky.

If she were with someone else, Drost could just hire a killer to kill her and that would be it. But because of Professor Moriarty's intimidation, Drost was reluctant to take action.

He also had to design a trap to make her leave Moriarty Manor voluntarily before she could "disappear".

Droste also hired someone to play the role of the illegitimate daughter whose name he had forgotten, and escaped along the way, leaving traces and evidence behind. Let "her" be eventually killed by another wanted criminal to silence her, and then kill this wanted criminal as well.

In order to kill the other party, he had to kill two more people.

This was just to kill a maid at Moriarty Manor. This is Drost's fear of Professor Moriarty.

If only Professor Moriarty had disappeared too.

Sometimes Drost thinks so too.

If Professor Moriarty wasn't on the Glass Island...he would have a lot of things to do as he pleased. He will not be cautious in contacting the Star Antimony people at all.

Because he had no idea how many people Professor Moriarty had placed around him. Sometimes he even suspected that "Diomedes" had also accepted Professor Moriarty's friendship.

Now is a good opportunity.

Minister Drost thought darkly.

Even Professor Moriarty was completely unaware that his son had been quietly replaced by this woman...

——How about using Diomedes as bait and letting this fake Aiwass and Professor Moriarty fight each other.

Minister Drost, who was as fat as a ball, said flatteringly: "Miss Crowley, let's sign the contract now."

"You are quite impatient."

Aleister looked at him with a smile.

…For some reason, Drost saw a sense of déjà vu similar to Professor Moriarty’s from the woman’s smile.

It must be an illusion, he thought.

"This mandatory contract was signed under the witness of the Nine Pillars God, with the witness of the Silver Crowned Dragon, the God of the Covenant, as the wedge. The contract will come into effect when it is established.

"Party A is Charles Drost. He is the contemporary successor of the Drost family, the founding family of the Kingdom of Avalon, the trade minister recognized by Queen Sophia, and the servant of the guardian elf Diomedes.

"Party B is Aleister Crowley, who was named by Valentine VII, the third daughter recognized by Earl Crowley of the Kingdom of Star Antimony. Her identity and appearance are also known as Aiwass Moria Ti, or Countess Vignes Emile Zola Bayard..."

Amidst Miss Aleister's melodious voice, Minister Droste lay on the table and wrote furiously.

——This is a contract signed for the Silver Crown Dragon.

She can't lie about this! ?

Minister Drost felt very reassured.
