I weave my destiny in parallel time and space

Fortunately, although they encountered a rather thrilling scene on the way, they finally reached the royal capital of Britannia safely.

As soon as he landed, Sherlock took the base car back to 221b Baker Street.

He opened the door and frowned slightly.

Some messy tables were tidied up, and the bottles and jars used for chemical experiments were neatly placed in a corner.

The scattered clothes were packed away and some scattered newspapers were folded and placed on one side.

The air no longer smells like chemicals, but has a light fragrance.

Watson was sitting in the room, holding a newspaper and reading it carefully.

Seeing Sherlock back, he immediately put down the newspaper and said happily.

"You are finally back. There has been no news about you from Mycroft. I thought something happened to you?"

"What's going on?" Sherlock frowned and said, "Why is there an uncomfortable neatness here?"

"Don't you like it?" Watson looked around, "I think it's okay. Mrs. Hudson took care of it."

He looked at Sherlock curiously, "Did you discover anything when you went to Europe?"

"You will regret not coming with me." Sherlock raised the corner of his mouth.

"I've regretted it since the first day I was away from home," Watson said. "You'd never imagine how bored I was at home. Gregson has come to see you several times. He probably has a lot of cases he wants your help with." .”

Sherlock nodded with satisfaction, "That's good news. There will be cases to investigate as soon as we land. Pendragon's police are really useless as always."

"A lot of people died in the police department that night, and they were short of manpower," Watson said.

After a pause, "Do you want to rest for a while?"

"I have a lot of energy right now." Sherlock raised his lips slightly, "You will never imagine what good things I got."

He couldn't wait to try out what surprises Hawkeye could bring him.

He looked at Watson, "Do you want to rest?"

Without any hesitation, Watson picked up the coat on one side and put it on himself, "I think I've had enough rest."

In this way, Sherlock didn't even stay in 221b for long before he couldn't wait to take Watson to find Gregson.

His trip to Egypt required careful planning, and before then he had a lot of time on his hands.

Sherlock didn't drive, but just took Watson along the streets of the imperial capital.

It rained just last night and the streets were very wet. I don’t know if it’s because Quetzalcoatl has returned to the place where she used to stay, but the rain in the imperial capital has been increasing recently.

This is also the reason why Mrs. Hudson helped Watson clean up the room, because it was too damp, and if the room was not cleaned carefully, many things would become moldy.

They crossed a street, and Watson soon discovered that they were heading in the direction of the office where they had been looking for the mysterious girl named Sissi.

"You want to find the girl named Akasha?" Watson asked.

"Has she appeared?" said Sherlock.

Watson shook his head, "I actually looked for her and her villa, but I never saw her."

Sherlock touched his chin, "That person appeared because of her, and there must be a reason why he only took her away from so many magicians."

"What did you find when you went to Europe?" Watson asked curiously.

"Some things that will make your ears tremble." Sherlock said solemnly, "John, if one day you discover that behind all the historical events you are familiar with, there is actually a pair of invisible hands manipulating them. , what would you think?"

Watson opened his eyes slightly. He knew that Sherlock would not ask such questions for no reason. He frowned and said, "Who are these big hands you are talking about?"

"So far, there's no clear evidence. But there's a strong possibility."

"The three Messerist revolutions that took place in Britannia, Germany, and Tsarist Russia were preceded by the establishment of the Great Egyptian Empire and the birth of King Arthur." Sherlock murmured in a low voice, "Even Beichen is like The rise like a tsunami, I wonder if it’s because he is behind it.”

Watson's pupils shrank slightly. He obviously didn't expect that so many things were related to that person, but he thought about it carefully.

"If you think about it this way, the Great Beichen Empire was indeed ridiculously strong back then. When it was at its strongest, it even fought from the Far East to Germany, purged the local Holy See forces, and directly integrated the scattered Germany at the time. In other words, the Holy See at that time was weak. As well as the establishment of the current German Empire, most of the reasons are attributed to Beichen."

"Straddling the Eurasian continent, bordering the North Pole in the north and the Antarctic in the south, if such a country still exists today, then it is not impossible for them to rule the world. Such a country is really outrageous, completely beyond the scope of a normal country. The limit that can be reached." Sherlock sighed with emotion.

"But it still fell apart."

Sherlock nodded, "In that era, it was very difficult to hold on to such a large territory."

"Then if you think so, isn't Duke Britain just as outrageous?" Watson said. "At that time, Duke Britain was not the only force that colonized this land, but he defeated all the colonists. This is not the same as Tsarist Russia. Likewise, that country is basically cold to the east and there are no people there, so you can just go there and occupy the land. But Britannia is fertile soil, and it is a miracle that it can have the current land area. "

"The daughter of the British Duke is also very clever." Sherlock said, "At that time, there was a Northern Kingdom competing with Britannia for land. She chose to promote reconciliation and union between the two countries through marriage. Directly. The prototype of the Great Brittanian Empire was established on this land."

Watson nodded and shuddered slightly, "If these are related to that person"

Sherlock was speechless. He took a deep breath, not knowing how to speak.

"What is his purpose?" Watson said with some confusion.

"Mycroft and I have always had this doubt, and we even discussed it all the way." Sherlock took over.

"For him, wealth and power are actually not important. Judging from the information we have received so far, he has absolute power, a long lifespan, and everything we can imagine that humans desire. He has it all at his fingertips.

Look at what he did, although it was accompanied by turmoil, it was silently advancing the process of human civilization."

After a pause, Sherlock added, "Tesla has met him before."

Watson opened his eyes, "Did mecha technology appear because of him?"

"There is no evidence, just speculation." Sherlock said, "But Tesla is a genius, there is no doubt about it."

"None of this seems to have brought him any benefit?" Sherlock touched his chin thoughtfully and said, "This is the strangest point. However, Mycroft and I have a relatively tentative guess. "
