Civilization Guardian Front

Now, in the big room, only Sherlock and Chios are left.

After Chios sat down on the single chair, he gestured towards the table, letting the other party decide what shade he wanted.

Sherlock Holmes poured the steaming black tea through the tea strainer into the glazed white porcelain teacup, and put down the teapot lightly, without the slightest bumping sound during the process.

"You didn't choose to fight me..."

Sherlock leaned against the comfortable velvet sofa after sitting, raised the cup ear to his mouth, and did not focus on Chios, but he was undoubtedly talking to the only young audience present:

"It seems that I am not an obstacle in front of you, maybe it is only temporarily, but it is also very interesting to be able to talk without using force."

"I don't see the need to fight..." Shrugging slightly, the young man did not deny what the other party said.

He poured himself a cup of tea and put it in a cup and tray to cool down.

"First of all, our interests don't necessarily conflict with each other. Secondly, we don't know what chance we have of winning. Even if we win by chance, we won't get any benefits... Naturally, it is excluded from the options."

Indeed, he didn't think it was necessary to become an enemy with Holmes, the main reason being the main quest.

Since it is not the target that must be killed, why is it necessary to make enemies for nothing?

"You know my existence, and you have been wary of me for a long time..." Sherlock took a sip of the black tea, and nodded with satisfaction.

Putting the teacup back on the plate, he turned sideways, looking directly at Chios.

Although those eyes looked in the right direction, they seemed to lack a glimmer of vitality.

The young man's eyes only stopped for a moment, and Sherlock noticed it.

"It's really sharp, you can even tell that I'm a blind person..." The man smiled lightly, not caring about his blindness at all.

"About 60 years ago, I was almost poisoned and I have been blind ever since. However, I should still be able to "see" you accurately. Sounds, smells, and air currents can all bring enough information, and reasoning replaces eyes to piece together the broken world. "

After briefly explaining the condition of his own eyes, he continued the previous topic:

"During the battle with Vlad, neither you nor the girl did their best. It is precisely because you understand that I may have been observing in secret, so the Vatican Holy See was allowed to consume Vlad's combat power to prevent me from gaining more power. Lots of information."

The pipe that never leaves his body is held in his left hand, and without seeing him make any movements, a trace of flame flashes on the tobacco leaves.

"It's a very smart approach. Although my reasoning can almost predict the future, it is also true that in the face of unknowns that I have never seen before, the probability of misjudgment will increase significantly."

"However..." Picking up the teacup in front of him, Chios replied noncommittally:

"You say that, and it proves that you're not too worried about threats from me and Tifa."

"Oh, not really..."

Shaking his head and chuckling, the next moment, Sherlock's brows and eyes suddenly became sharp.Even though it is known that the other party is a blind person, it is still unavoidable to feel being stared at by a blade-like gaze.

"Frankness is just my habit, including the fact that I deduced the date of my own death, and I will not deliberately conceal it from others."

"That's the end of the temptation. If your existence is as insignificant as you say, I won't be here, will I?"

Hearing this, Chios remained silent.

He hoped that Sherlock would say more about Chios and Tifa's fighting ability reasoning through his verbal humility, so that he could take the opportunity to confirm how much information the other party had, or what misunderstandings had arisen.

It's a pity that the old detective not only saw his intention, but also brought an end to the first half of the trial game with one sentence.

"You're right, I was being rude..."

Standing up straight from the back of the chair, the young man put down his teacup and took out a cigarillo from the cigarette case in his arms.

"Go straight to the point..."

The lighter lit the dark brown cigarette, and Chios slowly inhaled the cherry-flavored smoke.

"My purpose of using special means to come to this time and space through the experience has been achieved, and I will return to the original time soon. At present, I have no intention of being an enemy or conflict with you... including your organization."

"There is no young man in the future I reasoned about. Although I can't be sure how you appeared, what you want to do in the future is very dangerous..."

After the words were paused, Sherlock closed his blind eyes, but it made people feel that his vision had penetrated the entire space and even the long river of time at this moment.

"The world has chosen a person to dominate the future, and that person is not you. I believe you are also very clear about this..."

The man's eyes suddenly opened, staring at the young man on the single chair.

"Are you trying to make an enemy of the world?"

Facing Sherlock's solemn expression, a smile appeared on Chios' face.

Sure enough, Sherlock Holmes can even see the future with his almost omniscient reasoning ability, and he is also very clear about his role.

It is a pity that, as a character in the plot, he is also interfered by the will of the world. Even though he knows how the future will develop, he lacks the power to change it.

"Sir Sherlock, I would like to ask you a question."

Seeing the man on the sofa making a "please" gesture, Chios asked:

"I have changed the past twice, and even Vlad died under my sword. Compared with the future presented by your reasoning, is there any change now?"

"Although the general direction has not changed much, there are still many details that are different from what I remember..."

At this point, Sherlock pondered for a while, and asked the young man:

"I have to admit that your actions are very purposeful, and you do have the potential to change the future... But how can I be sure that the future you expect is in line with what I want to see?"

"After all, even my methodical foreknowledge is impossible to know all the things you conceal. How are you going to convince me about this?"

"It's very simple..." Chios pointed at the old detective in front of him with a cigar in his hand, and gave the answer:

"As long as I stay in a place that is convenient for you to observe, won't you have enough time to update the database in your mind?"

The young man's answer made Sherlock frowned slightly, the seriousness on his face suddenly eased, and he smiled.

"Hehe, so that's the case, this is really a good way..."

The man stood up from the sofa, held out his hand like a soldier, and said with a smile:

"Welcome aboard, Yiyou's future No. 2 "Earl"... Chios Pesheim William Marshall. "

Chapter 210 Six? Harvest

Sherlock Holmes left after drinking a cup of black tea.

He knows that Chios and Tifa do not belong to the current time and space, and it will be seven years later to really observe how these two people change the future.

The old detective is gone, only Chios is left in Luo Ping's mansion...

The index finger tapped the armrest rhythmically, and the black-haired young man sitting on the single chair fell into deep thought.

"I? You"

The secret force created by the Axis powers Germany and Japan during World War II was named "I?U", which was derived from the combination of the abbreviation "I" for the Japanese long-distance submarine and the first letter U of the German Unterseen-Boot.

The original purpose was to train superhuman soldiers. After the defeat of the two countries, the characteristics of the stealth of the submarine were used to avoid the disaster of disintegration, and it was transformed into a stateless underground association.

Not only did Sherlock Holmes take over the power of the undead from World War II, but they also stole the Super Akula-class (Typhoon-class) nuclear-powered submarine built by the Soviet Union in 1976 as a new base.

On the huge submarine with a length of more than 300 meters and a width of nearly 50 meters, descendants of great men from all over the world gathered. The entire treasury was filled with immeasurable currencies and gold bricks from various countries. Intercontinental ballistic missile with a nuclear warhead.

It can be said that Yiyou is a small country that can move under the sea.

There are many underground organizations fighting with each other in this world. They are worried that their opponents will perish due to Yiyou's support, so they can only choose to cease fighting.

Not only that, they even sent people from within the organization to join Yiyou to show their goodwill.

The existence of Yiyou forced them to stop, and the world's conflicts and disasters naturally decreased...

In terms of the plot, the reason why the "Battle of the Far East" broke out was because Toyama Kinji defeated Sherlock Holmes.

Before Sherlock Holmes fled, he had already appointed his great-granddaughter Aria as Yiyou's successor, but Aria's ability and prestige were not enough to control the rebellious superhuman group, which led to the disintegration of Yiyou, and the inside came from different organizations. Conflict broke out among the members of the group, forming a war between the two major groups of "division" and "family".

Sherlock Holmes, who can predict the future for tens of hundreds of years, can't think of the result that his immature great-granddaughter will not be able to convince the public?

It is impossible for a detective with world-renowned prestige to fail to deduce this kind of conclusion that does not even require meticulous clues to reason, but can be drawn based on common sense.

The only reason is...

"destiny..."

Saying this word with a sigh, Chios took the last puff of his cigar, and then extinguished the cigarette in the ashtray.

Possesses top-notch intelligence and force, but is still subject to the interference of the will of the world...

Really helpless...

"However, if that wasn't the case, why would you seek change?"

His eyes stayed on the position where Sherlock had sat not long ago, and the corners of Chios' mouth slightly curved, whispering to himself.

Joining Yiyou has always occupied an extremely important position in his layout and planning.

Although he accidentally obtained the status of the Earl of Pembroke, which can barely be regarded as a force, but compared with the Yiyou organization with money, people, and firepower, there is still a gap between heaven and earth.Especially the fact that it is closely related to the Battle of the Far East makes it even more important.

In order to attract Holmes' attention as soon as possible, Chiust contacted the Holy See to send out manpower to encircle Vlad. He believed that, compared with the established fate, such a huge change would definitely attract the attention of the other party.

For this reason, when he was still positioning the fate compass, he only opened the plot two days in advance, and the extra three days were prepared to wait for Holmes to come to his door.

It turned out that he still underestimated Sherlock Holmes.

As early as three years ago, after Asamus changed Shirayuki's fate, the old detective noticed Chios and Tifa.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to wait for them to return on the cliff of Awale just after Vlad's death.

Although it was slightly different from what was expected, the plan was still achieved in the way Chios expected...

"Next, it's the arrangement after returning to the original time and space..."

After drinking the cold black tea in the cup, Chios consciously summoned the heraldic light curtain.

---------------

[Completed the main task 4: Stop the fate of Feng Lizi being adopted and abused by Vlad. If Vlad dies, he will get additional rewards]

[With your own charm and plan, you managed to gain the absolute trust of Peak Riko Robin IV first, preventing her from falling into the hands of Vlad and being abused and growing up.Making good use of the influence of his identity and background, he used the hands of the Vatican to push Vlad into a desperate situation, and finally killed him himself, while successfully hiding part of his strength in front of Sherlock Holmes, an important plot character.

This move greatly affects the fate of many plot characters. The degree of deflection of fate in the mission world increases to 22%, and your behavior of reversing fate gains 3 points of origin. 】

[Mission Rewards: Merit +80, Civilization Coins +10000, Emblem Space Items +1, issued]

---------------

[Personal side mission completed: Join Yiyou]

[As one of the most powerful organizations in this world except for the country, Yiyou's influence is extremely huge. Joining may be just the beginning, but it is also a milestone, which can have an incalculable impact on the plot.The destiny deflection rate of the mission world is increased by an additional 4%, and your actions to reverse fate gain 2 points of source power. 】

[Task Reward: Merit +40, Forging Entrustment Coupon (Excellence) x1, issued]

---------------

There are quite a lot of source power available in the world of "Scarlet Bullet"...

The deflection of fate only reached 26%, and Chios' source power increased by 8 points, which already exceeded the total gain of 90% of the deflection of fate in the world of "Xinnai".

Whether it is the eye of robbery, the power of ghosts, or rune magic, it all consumes source power. It is inevitable to feel stretched when there are only 7 points of source power. Once the three are used at the same time, most of them will not even reach the battle time of 1 minute.

At this point, he is far less than Tifa who has experienced two mission worlds...

Fortunately, with the completion of the main and branch missions, this defect is being continuously strengthened.

After reading the task information, a metal card appeared in the young man's hand.

---------------

[Forging Commission (Excellence)]

Quality: Special Consumables

You can avoid the consumption of meritorious service, and entrust civilization guarding craftsmen across spaces at any time and place to create a piece of equipment that does not exceed the excellence level for yourself.The main material for forging needs to be prepared by the executor, and the equipment will be completed within one day and sent directly to the executor's emblem space. 】

Chapter 210 Seven? Riko will find you by herself

In the short one-minute battle with Vlad, the Sword of the King of Scotland, which had accompanied Chios on the battlefield of tens of thousands of troops, could not bear the energy infusion of ghost energy and disaster and broke.

After all, it is just a medieval European forging of magic. Even if it reaches the peak craftsmanship of the craftsmen of the time, it is still too reluctant to play a role in a world where fantasy and mysterious power are becoming more and more powerful.

At this moment, the ancient sword full of cracks is quietly lying in the heraldry space, enjoying the rest after its brilliant fighting career.

In the days to come, it will be hung in the most prominent position of Chios' residence as proof of the youth's fantasy departure.

Chios didn't have the idea of ​​remaking it. Ordinary steel creations could no longer meet the needs of his future battles...
