Chapter 176 "Aris"

"Does this generation of Holmes have to pay the price of using the magic eye with his life? You Holmes really torture yourself generation after generation."

Norman saw that part of Arris' hair had turned white, and he, who was experienced in the world, could see the price of the magic eye at a glance.

Holmes has extremely powerful blood talents. People of this lineage are almost natural detectives, but the price of using the magic eye is different for each generation, some are high, and some are low.

"Arris, what stage has your magic eye evolved to?"

"The second stage."

Hmm? The second stage?

"If you want to see the records in that stone tablet, you need at least the third stage of the magic eye. Are you sure you remember it correctly?"

Norman knew very well what Joseph had done on the three stone tablets.

Only people of the Holmes lineage can see the records on the stone tablets, and they need the third stage or above of the magic eye to see clearly. Even he, a ghoul who has lived for more than 200 years, can't see the contents of the stone tablet.

Joseph is also a super-class wizard after all. Although his combat power is not very strong, the magic circle he laid is not something that ordinary people can break.

Or did Aris pay too much, causing her magic eye to be comparable to the third stage magic eye in the second stage?

"I'm not sure either. It was only about a year ago that I felt that I could see more things. Combining the records, I felt that I should have reached the second stage."

The consumption of the magic eye made Aris speak a little difficult for a while. After taking a few breaths, she finished her words.

But Aris's words made Norman's brows furrowed even more.

Each generation of Holmes can only live to the age of thirty-five, and some generations even died unexpectedly after leaving offspring.

There is only one Holmes in each generation, which also makes them pay great attention to the inheritance.

The detection method of the evolution of the magic eye should also be passed down.

"Didn't your parents pass on the inheritance to you?"

"I don't know who my parents are?" Aris shook her head and said lightly.

"You don't know your parents? Then how do you know that you are Holmes?"

Hearing Norman's words, Aris also began to recall the past, but she couldn't remember how she knew she was Holmes.

It seemed like someone told her who that person was?

Arris's face gradually turned pale, and cold sweat dripped from his forehead. Seeing this, Allen quickly helped Arris to a stone pillar that had fallen to the ground, and asked Arris to sit down and rest.

"It seems that your memory has been tampered with."

Norman saw that Arris's identity and origin were not normal. What happened to the Holmes lineage in the past hundred years?

Joseph, is this why you asked me to keep the inheritance?

"Norman, you may not see me again after this separation."

"You only have two years left, Joseph, is there no way to break the curse of Holmes' bloodline?" Looking at Joseph who looked indifferent, Norman really couldn't understand why this man was always so optimistic.

"There is a way to solve it, but it's too late for me, Norman."

Seeing Joseph suddenly become serious, Norman also put out his cigarette.

He has known Joseph for twenty years, and the twenty years he spent with him are far more exciting than what he has experienced in the past nearly a hundred years.

In his memory, Joseph rarely showed this expression. As a natural optimist, Joseph always smiled even in life-and-death crises.

"Norman, after a while, you will never find me again. Don't look for me or Carlos"

"Why"

Joseph took out a golden pocket watch from his coat and handed it to Norman.

"I put all the inheritance of Holmes in it. Norman, a hundred years later, you have to hand it over to the new Holmes. She will be the key to solving everything."

Norman looked at the golden pocket watch in his hand, and felt more and more that Joseph was telling him about his last affairs, but wasn't his daughter already two years old?

Why did he do this?

"You gave me the inheritance, so what about your daughter?"

"Don't worry, I have another one. Remember Norman, we must abide by our agreement."

Norman walked to the stone pillar on the side and knocked on several positions on the door with his hand at a special frequency.

A stone box stretched out from the stone pillar.

In the stone box lay a golden pocket watch. Even after a hundred years, the dazzling gold still radiated glory.

Norman took it out and gave it to Aris.

"This is what Joseph asked me to give you. The inheritance of your lineage is all in it."

Aris took the pocket watch and gently stroked the surface. This pocket watch made her feel a blood connection.

She opened the cover of the pocket watch, and the second hand inside was still turning little by little. Even after a hundred years, this pocket watch did not stop the pace of time.

Suddenly Aris felt a pain in her finger, and then she found that the thumb of her right hand was pricked by the needle of the pocket watch.

A drop of blood was drawn from the thumb by the needle, and then the whole clock face was rendered by a stream of emerald green, and the hour hand, minute hand and second hand suddenly turned rapidly, gradually forming a black afterimage.

The emerald green light became more and more dazzling, and at this time, the time of the pocket watch stopped instantly, and the emerald green stars were released from the pocket watch, outlining an emerald green figure in the air.

The two ghouls could not help but be shocked when they saw the scene in front of them, and the most surprised was Norman.

He had not seen this figure for a hundred years, but he would never forget it.

"Joseph"

After hearing what Norman said, Aris and Allen also knew that this figure was Holmes from a hundred years ago.

Joseph Holmes!

As if sensing their gaze, the emerald green human image opened his emerald green eyes and looked towards Norman.

"Long time no see, Norman"

"Joseph! You"

Norman looked at that familiar smile, and tears flowed from the corners of his eyes unconsciously.

"It makes me happy to see you alive, Norman."

"I have kept my agreement with you, Joseph."

"I have always believed in you, Norman. And are you the Sherlock Holmes of this generation?"

Aris saw the emerald green figure looking towards her, and stood up from the collapsed stone pillar regardless of the pain.

"My name is Aris Holmes."

"Aris is such a good name. Is this person next to you your elder brother or younger brother?"

Seeing Joseph looking at him, Allen quickly adjusted his clothes and said nervously.

"Hello! My name is Allen Winston, and I am Yaris's partner." After speaking, Allen bowed to show respect.

"Huh? A member of the Winston family? Have you heard of the name Karsis?"

"I also heard it from Mr. Norman five minutes ago."

"Really? Then my reasoning back then is basically correct. Sure enough, the Winston family and the Twilight Sect are involved."

What! ×3

Joseph's words exploded in Norman and the others' minds like depth bombs.

"Joseph! Were you framed by the Winston family and the Twilight Sect? And Calsis! Why didn't you two tell me before?"

Norman soon thought of why Joseph disappeared back then. Angrily, a terrifying aura rose up on him, and the pebbles next to him began to tremble and gradually float.

"Norman, calm down! It's all in the past. If you don't curb your momentum, Aris and the others won't be able to bear it!"

After hearing Joseph's words, Norman's eyes that had been dyed black returned to normal, and the blood lines on his body slowly faded away.

At this time, the clothes on Yaris and Allen were soaked with cold sweat.

Norman's breath just now made them feel like they were at the bottom of a thousand meters of sea for a moment, and the pressure from all directions made them almost breathless.

Ha~ha~ha!

"Norman, after so many years, can you change your bad temper? And if you use your power like this, aren't you afraid of hastening your end?"

"You are still so observant even after you are dead, Joseph."

"Hahaha, you don't even look at the suffix of my name."

"Let's get down to business! Joseph, do you really mean what you just said? This is no joke!"

Norman looked at Joseph with a serious face. Although there was no Forbidden Magic Mage in the Winston family, they were still a large family that had existed in the Fog City for more than two hundred years.

If the other party is related to the Twilight Sect, then the purpose of the Twilight Sect is not that simple.

"Let's put it this way, someone in the Winston family wants to conquer the entire Ying Kingdom. For this reason, that person wants to obtain King Arthur's King's Sword. However, the King's Sword is now the core that seals the Lord of Twilight, so the seal must be unlocked. , to obtain the Sword of the King.”

Joseph looked at Aris and continued.

"When I investigated here, I discovered that I had been trapped in the 'abyss', and finally implicated Chalsis. Aris, you must get the thing I put in St. Petersburg Church. "The magic eye is the key to unlocking the seal, and the magic eye is also the key to repairing the seal."

Joseph looked at Norman again.

"Old friend, I want to ask you to protect Yaris. I know that your current physical condition is no longer suitable for fierce fighting, but this is my last request, please!"

Norman walked up to Joseph and said.

"How could I refuse my old friend's request!"

Then the two people smiled knowingly, and each extended their right fists to "bump" each other. Over the past hundred years, the friendship between the two has never faded, and has continued across time to this day.

"I don't understand."

Aris suddenly asked.

"Why is the bloodline of Holmes the key to unlocking the seal? King Arthur has been away for more than a thousand years. With such a long time, it is almost impossible to see the solution through the magic eye."

"It's normal that you don't know. After all, you haven't received the inheritance yet. The world only knows that the most outstanding Sherlock Holmes is Sherlock, but our lineage was not called Sherlock Holmes at the beginning."

Not called Sherlock Holmes?

This time, even Norman became curious. Joseph's ability to almost predict the future really shocked him at first, but can he really achieve this with "knowledge" and "Guxin's magic eyes" alone?

Joseph looked at Yaris, his eyes filled with unprecedented pride at this moment.

"The original source of the Sherlock Holmes lineage is called Merlin Ambrosius."

Merlin!

This name is almost universally known in the Ying Kingdom. It can be said that King Arthur was able to become the strongest person in the Ying Kingdom and unify the Ying Kingdom at that time, and Merlin's role was indispensable.

Such a legendary magician turned out to be the ancestor of Holmes.

"After sealing the Lord of Dusk, the ancestor Merlin noticed the existence of the Dusk Sect. In order to ensure the firmness of the seal, Merlin abandoned the surname Ambrose and changed it to Holmes, hiding from the public."

"The reason why our lineage is the key to unlocking the seal is that Merlin left his right eye in the core of the seal when he sealed it, so as to stabilize the seal with the Sword of the King, but this also caused our lineage to be cursed by the Lord of Dusk through Merlin's right eye. This is why Holmes can only live to the age of thirty-five."

"What is the way to unlock the seal?"

"The way to unlock the seal is."

Just as Joseph was about to continue, he suddenly noticed that Aris's state was a little wrong.

Aris, who originally exuded a calm atmosphere, suddenly became full of evil.

"Aris?"

Even Allen felt that Aris was wrong. Although his voice was still the same as usual, it was full of a sense of indifference to life.

"You are not Aris! Who are you! Why are you in Aris' body!"

Joseph finally realized that the person who dominated Aris' body was no longer Aris, but another soul.

"I didn't expect to come to such a place this time, and I didn't expect to hear such crucial information. Now I can renegotiate the terms with the old woman."

"Aris"'s voice was no longer a female voice, but a low voice like an elegant gentleman.

"Aren! Come to me, don't get close to 'Aris'!"

Norman suddenly shouted at Aren.

But Aren couldn't hear Norman's words at this moment. He didn't know what happened to Aris, but he only knew one thing now.

That is, Aris is in danger!

Tsk! This kid!

Seeing Alan's eyes, Norman guessed what the kid wanted to do next.

The next moment, Alan decisively drew out the Melia Duke, the sword was filled with red light, and chopped towards 'Aris'!

"Get out of Aris' body!"

Idiot!

Norman saw Allen's posture and grabbed Allen as quickly as possible and pulled him away.

But "Aris" was faster. When Allen was pulled away, a red light flashed across his abdomen in an instant.

"Norman, it's fast. After so many years, I didn't expect your strength to not decrease."

"Aris" looked at Allen who was rescued. At this moment, Allen was squatting on the ground with his hands covering his abdomen in pain. Blood kept flowing out from between his fingers.

"Jack! I killed you that year! Why are you here!"

Norman looked at "Aris" with great anger. No matter how long it has been, he can't forget that voice.

The person who now occupies "Aris's" body is the nightmare that once shrouded the foggy city-Jack the Ripper!

Today I can only say that inspiration burst out, but I don't know if it's okay to write like this, alas ╯﹏╰, I'm so unconfident.
