Chapter 36 - Sherlock Holmes

() Sherlock Holmes, who was originally a member of the Royal Alchemy Laboratory, later left the laboratory like Sinkid. There are two reasons. The first is that he does not like the unchanging scientific research life. In his own words, running between home and laboratory like a bumblebee every day, doing almost the same thing, this kind of life will kill him!

The second is that he may, probably, maybe, be the last human in this world who is still inhaling fantasy dust!

As I said before, many, many years ago, there was a popular alchemy product called dream dust on the mainland. People who inhaled this kind of thing would have a dreamlike feeling!

Just like ordinary people can enter their own sea of ​​consciousness, in the dream, he is a god, he can do whatever he wants!

Later, this kind of thing has seriously threatened the rule of various empires. Almost overnight, all countries jointly declared that smoking and selling fantasy dust will trigger the law!Dream Dust became the first alchemy product in the history of Faerun Continent to be regarded as a taboo product!

Although many people who were too addicted died because they couldn't get the dream dust to relieve their pain, but in the end, time healed the wounds. passed!

But Donglock did not know where he got this ancient rumor. He likes to stimulate life, and with his own talent, he really made him research a kind of alchemy product similar to dream dust, but in terms of effect, that has been lost. It's just that the dream dust is so domineering.

Even so, in the eyes of the director of the alchemy laboratory, Dong Locke's behavior is simply unforgivable!Every day is like being drunk!Chaos!Finally, after notifying the king, this talented alchemist was kicked out of the alchemy laboratory!It has also become the laughing stock of many alchemists!

When everyone thought he would go down like this, Dong Locke opened a private detective agency, using his meticulous thinking and powerful alchemy to solve many cases!Make yourself famous!Become the most famous detective in Britain!

The most famous case among them, and the case that made King Arthur Pendry, who had just ascended the throne at that time, focus on him, was the "half-elf's finger" case that caused a sensation in the whole of Britain!

In a sense, after the current King Arthur and Arthur Pendry officially became the king, Britain should be regarded as a vassal state of the Elven Empire, one of the most powerful empires on the mainland!Although the Elf Empire has not officially stated its position, Arthur Pendry's biological mother is a member of the royal family of the Elf Empire!

So even Arthur Pendry has a certain status in the elf empire!This makes many humans with partial elf blood like to come to Britain for refuge!Because most half-elfs are not recognized by the elf empire.

So without protection they are the slave master's favorite slaves!Because they are beautiful and not easy to age!And as long as they go to Britain, according to British law, they will officially become citizens of Britain. Any arrest or harm to them is a provocation to the British royal family and Knight King Arthur Pendry!He will definitely die miserably!

Therefore, Britain has become a paradise for half-elves, but just about seven years ago, that is, the second year after Sherlock left the Royal Alchemy Laboratory, six murders occurred in succession in Zemas, the capital of Britain. Those who were killed were all female half-elfs, and the cause of death was suffocation. At the same time, the little finger of the left hand was neatly cut off!

This made Arthur Pendry very angry!The order was to solve the case within a time limit, but Zethra was so big and there were so many half-elves that he had no clue at all, so the then Zemath's garrison chief had no choice but to hire the already well-known Sherlock.In the end, it only took him three days to catch the prisoner and save No.7's dying half-elf, even though her little finger had already been cut off at that time!

The prisoner was a woman, and the reason for killing the half-elf was because her husband was obsessed with the newly married half-elf and ignored her.

Naturally, she died a miserable death!It is said that King Arthur planted man-eating vines, a special product of the Elven Forest, on the prisoners. The vines will grow with human blood, body fluids, and internal organs. The whole process is long and painful!In the end, she was sucked alive and turned into a human being!

Since then, Donglock has also become famous in Britain and has become the leading detective!To be precise, it should be the Royal Detective!Because he directly obeys King Arthur, this is also King Arthur's reward for saving the half-elf!

However, Donglock did not change his life just because he became a great detective. When there is no case, he is still very lazy, sucking the diluted dream dust every day, but as long as there is a case, he will become Incomparably energetic!

For example, right now, he is lying on the sofa in the living room, he has just inhaled a little dream dust on the coffee table, and his whole body is trembling slightly!The eyes under the eyelids are also constantly wandering!Occasionally, he would groan softly.

"Boom!" The door was kicked open!It hit the wall hard!Scared so much that Donglock shuddered and sat up straight away! "My God, Olina, can't you open the door with your hands?"

Olina gave Donglock a blank look, "Her Lady Queen ordered you to follow Duke Atwood to Arraski to handle the case!"

As soon as he heard about the case, Dong Locke suddenly perked up, and the sense of decadence brought by the dream dust seemed to never have existed!

"What case?"

Olina was about to say it, but when she saw the line of white powder on the coffee table, she became angry, bastard, "Didn't you say you won't smoke it in the future?"

"Calm down, calm down~" Dong Locke stretched fiercely! "I've improved this thing, it won't cause any harm to my body! Wait for me a while, then Donlock stood up unsteadily, I'm going to wash my hair, brush my teeth, and shave my beard! I'm about to go out, You have to clean yourself up! You can't lose face of the royal family!"

"This bastard hasn't changed a bit in all these years..."

Olina sat on the sofa with a bang, and the warm sofa could still feel the body temperature of Donlock, her smooth long hair spread out along her shoulders, and her two pointed ears protruded faintly. hair!The tight uniform can better reflect her exquisite figure, and there is also a long sword carved with exquisite patterns standing beside her, which adds a touch of sass!The only fly in the ointment is that her left hand, which is knocking on her knees, has no little finger, which makes this supposedly perfect picture a bit of regret!

This is obvious, the half-elf who was going to die in No.7 back then was her, the result was like a movie, at the last moment, she was saved by Sherlock, when she opened her eyes and saw that there was a trace of laziness in his eyes When she fell in love with a man, she found that she had fallen in love with him!

But what she didn't know was that, in fact, Sherlock hadn't woken up that day. Later, she stayed by his side and became his assistant, and in order to be able to help Sherlock, she kept training herself , made himself stronger, and eventually became Donglock's personal bodyguard and assistant!

On the steam locomotive leading to Arraski, Donglock was carefully examining the parchment brought by Atwood.

"How, have you found anything?" Although Donglock's strength is average, he looks like an ordinary person, but Atwood knows that this guy's ability to find the truth is probably worse than that of the whole of Britain. There will not be a few people stronger than him!

Donglock is chewing a kind of vine branch in his mouth, which is a special product of Nathan Lake. It has a bit of fragrance. Donglock put it together with dream dust and soaked it in water, and then put it into a special metal box , able to keep for a long time!When analyzing cases, he likes to chew on this kind of vine!

Hearing Atwood's words, he opened the car window, spit out the vine branch that had been chewed for a long time and had no taste, and then said slowly, "The other party is very cunning, and did not leave too many traces. From here There’s not a lot of information that can be read on a piece of paper.”

"It is certain that this man is not a Briton!"

"The reason?"

Facing Atwood's question, Donglock smiled confidently, "On this parchment, if you look carefully, you can find the magic circle on the back that ordinary people including me would be dizzy at a glance. Fluency, it is not too much to call it a work of art, it is almost a masterpiece done in one go! This can prove that there is no problem with his hand! But the front text, in many places, he did not write very smoothly, and this uneven The smooth performance is very regular, and it only appears on a part of the text that is not commonly used!"

"For example, the word "mecha" hardly appears in daily life, so every time he writes these two words, his strokes will pause a little, which shows that he is not very good. Proficient in this kind of writing."

"Then there is grammar and the application of some words. Language is a kind of knowledge that is constantly improving and reforming. The British language will be very different 100 years ago and today! And his use of words does not conform to ours. The current usage of words by the Britons is somewhat rigid! Although there is no difference in meaning when read!"

"So I can be sure that this person is not from Britain, or he just came to Britain not long ago! As for other information," Donglock rubbed the parchment again, "In terms of material, this parchment is not used anywhere in Britain. I can buy it, there is nothing special about it, but the paper has been thinned by him, so it should be easy to fold into the shape of the triangular fluid!"

"What's the use of this shape?" Olina, who had been silent all this time, couldn't help asking curiously.

"He folded the parchment into this shape, which looks like the head of a long sword, so that when flying with the help of wind spells, he can tear the air with less effort! As a knight, you should understand it very well."

Olina nodded.

"As for the others, I think we can only find out after arriving in Arraski."
