Shepherd Tantra

Chapter 1036 Ludwig II
"Actually... to say that no one in the Vendôme family has ever become a child of the moon is probably not entirely true."

Suddenly, Sherlock spoke.

Several people immediately focused their attention on Sherlock.

Old Argon frowned slightly, and his whole body exuded a majestic aura without even being angry, and he naturally released a strong power.

Aiwass rarely saw this kind of temperament in others. Whether it was the princes and princesses of Xingti, or Isabel, or the cardinals of the Church, or even the Pope... The last person who made Aiwass feel this way was the old queen of Avalon. In addition, it was Arthur who he saw at the promotion ceremony.

Although Aiwass did not have the level of the Authoritarian Path, he could guess that this was the special aura unique to the Authoritarian Path.

The old duke probably has a level of authority besides the path of beauty, and it should not be low.

...Wait, beauty and authority?

Thinking of this, Aiwass was slightly stunned. He suddenly thought of something.

Sherlock continued: "The Moon Child cannot cross flowing water, and cannot enter other people's doors without permission - although the river at the door can indeed form a river to prevent the Moon Child from entering... However, it can only defend against the Moon Child who 'flies in as a bat' or 'walks forward'.

"The taboos of the Moon Children are reflected in their 'motives'. They just don't dare to do it, can't do it, and are afraid of doing it - not that they can't do it no matter what. Just like the Moon Children are afraid of flowing water, but they can cross the border by boat... Isn't the Fallen Angels' subjugation army organized by Aiwass an example?"

"……really."

Aiwass nodded in approval.

This is the fundamental reason why the Moon Sons of Xingti must control the Navy. The sea is a fatal weakness for the Moon Sons, so they must keep the navy in their own hands.

——This was also the discomfort that Aiwas felt when he entered the door earlier.

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

Compared to the protection that prevented the Moon Child from entering...

"It is more like a prison to prevent the Moon Child from escaping. Isn't it, Your Excellency?"

Sherlock said slowly.

Sherlock, who had returned to his youthful form after being promoted to the fourth energy level, now had a blazing gaze, which was as majestic as the sun.

"It looks like your investigation has paid off, Detective."

The Duke of Argonne was not angry.

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

"…Here, father?"

Anne 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 the back of Anne's right hand on her thigh. His attitude was self-evident.

The touch from her fingertips was surprisingly not young. Even after receiving Aiwass's treatment, Anne's hands were no longer as cold as before... However, the clearly protruding blue 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 young.

Anne looked back at Aiwass in surprise, and after a few seconds...she suddenly smiled.

She breathed a sigh of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted off her shoulders. Her eyes were slightly moist.

But Sherlock didn't care about that. After getting the old duke's permission, he closed his eyes slightly to organize his thoughts, and then said calmly: "As you said, there was indeed a hidden third party behind the 'third rebellion' that happened in the land of irises in the past."

Hearing this, Aiwass and Yassen also turned their eyes 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 this out or the secret behind it is not worth it, it will always feel like their time has been wasted.

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

Aiwass asked with interest: "Third party?"

"Yes."

Sherlock nodded. "It's different from the history that most people know. The most famous 'Third Rebellion' of Iris, which cut off the head of their king and ended the era of kings and nobles, was actually driven by 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 as far as Aiwas could remember.

He was obsessed with drama, even to the point of madness - in modern terms, it is called chuunibyou.

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

This is a story from an opera called The Swan Knight - which also has a prototype on Earth called Lohengrin. The famous Wedding March comes from this opera where the newlyweds don't end well.

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 her immediately. Later, Elsa really encountered a desperate crisis on the verge of death, and when she called the Swan Knight, he really came to help her defeat the enemy easily.

He is as powerful as a saint, with noble character and flawless purity. Elsa fell in love with the knight who saved her, and the knight also fell in love with the princess because of her "beauty". He is 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 must 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 became curious about this issue, so she couldn't help but raise this question on her wedding night.

Then 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 hold back from 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 as Isabel was mesmerized by Lulu's Magic Flute in her childhood, young Ludwig also possessed a talent for beauty...which made him unable to escape the curse of this opera for the rest of his life.
