Golden Darkness's Own Opinion

In order to invite Meluette to come over, the Prince of Wales really made a gesture, and even opened up his own authority to her.Seeing his sincerity, even the golden darkness can no longer question his motives. Perhaps other people in the Buteido have ulterior motives, such as seeking greater power and wealth, but this Welsh The prince is really willing to give everything for his motherland.

The golden darkness brushed past the Prince of Wales.

"Ah, Miss Eve, you are here."

"Ah."

The golden darkness withdrew its gaze from the prince's back. Maybe the Crown Prince would be a good successor, but what does it have to do with her?If it wasn't for [伊oU] that involved him with Holmes' two young ladies, the killer wouldn't have devoted all his energy to paying attention to such a native.

"During this time, I will stay by your side and provide the most basic protection for your personal safety."

If there were her guards, the danger of Mellie Holmes being assassinated by the people in [IoU] would undoubtedly be greatly reduced.

"My sister will be jealous."

"She'll understand."

Golden Darkness frowned and looked at the environment of this office. With her professional vision, she found several fatal security holes here in just a few minutes.

"The one who is in the most danger right now is you. If Sherlock Holmes is as good at planning as the legend says, then the fact that you agreed to the invitation of the Prince of Wales is probably within his expectation. If nothing else, [Yi] oU]’s first wave of assassinations will come soon, please be prepared.”

The frivolous and playful smile on Mellie's face subsided, she could feel that the golden darkness was really thinking about her, if she dealt with this kind of serious care in a joking manner, even herself Will not forgive myself.

"Now you and I are alone, a rare opportunity, can I ask Miss Eve a question for you?"

Will the other three girls come to seek ammunition supplies in a while? The Prince of Wales and his entourage were sent by her to carry the materials. It's only when you're alone that you can speak freely.

"Miss Eve, why are you taking such good care of me? Don't say it's for my sister."

"……Any questions?"

"Because, she and I will be very unhappy in this way. The relationship between me and Aria, my sister and her is not as friendly as you think."

The detective rotated the wheelchair and adjusted the angle so that he could have a face-to-face conversation with the golden darkness.

"It's better to say that the relationship between me and her is quite bad. She doesn't like my scheming that takes everything into account, and doesn't like my mind that claims to 'inherit all the reasoning abilities of Sherlock Holmes I' , and I am jealous of her sound and vigorous body, and her pure and innocent character. The two young ladies of the Holmes family are like two completely opposite sides in a mirror."

"My sister has an excellent body, can move freely, is loved by people, even lovers—everything, she can get it. But I have nothing. I was born with such a body, and people fear me because of this head , everyone hates me, calls me weird, and is doomed to live alone for the rest of my life.”

Recalling the past, something deeper in her tone quietly changed.

"I, in fact, have been taking what belongs to my sister-through some sure-win bets. I took away all the awards and trophies she had in elementary school; I won her favorite teddy bear; I forced her Put on childish children's underwear. I am twisted because of jealousy, I am ugly, my sister will not be happy to see you as my bodyguard, if you are really for my sister—"

Mellie took a deep breath.

"Then please stop showing me any more concern."

"..."

Golden Darkness listened carefully.There is no room for an outsider to intervene in the affairs between the two sisters. She may be qualified to do so in the future, but she is not able to do so now.However, she is not planning to change the relationship between the two sisters - she has no time or interest, she just wants to show her attitude, it has nothing to do with anything else, she is just working hard for a very simple purpose Now.

"I know what I'm doing and what I'm going to do."

Merlot Holmes has always been different to Kanzaki and Aria.

She doesn't know the fate and conflicts between the Holmes sisters, but she understands that Kanzaki oHo Aria always cares about her sister who always likes to play tricks on her. If Mellie Holmes really happened here Unexpectedly, she should be very sad.

[Eve] has only worked so far for a very simple purpose.

PS1: I feel that the flag has been established a lot.

PS2: None of you guessed it right, let me give you a hint: it is a character who has been described in the previous article.

The Shadow of the End, Volume 142: Chapter 43 Chapter [-] Attack on Merleite

After half an hour.

When Moriko, who had finished her equipment, came to Mellie's office, the serious atmosphere in the room made her take two steps back subconsciously. The girl who was almost tripped by the threshold looked up at the sign above the door, and then Looking around from left to right, she checked the surrounding environment, and confirmed that this was indeed the destination, Feng Lizi re-entered with a smile, and asked cautiously.

"Isn't it time for Riko to come?"

In addition to Aria and the Prince of Wales and his party, there are quite a few other buteis gathered in this office. Riko Mine still has an impression of these people. These people also gave a brief speech at the butei meeting not long ago. , Undoubtedly, they are the leadership of this London Butei Hall.

"According to your identities, you are not qualified to attend a meeting of this level, but..." The Prince of Wales glanced at Aria and Moriko and the others, and finally glanced at the person who was standing behind Meloette. The golden darkness who leaned against the wall said nothing, "Forget about this time, you guys should listen to it."

A quarter of an hour later, Mellie, who was fiddling with the documents on the table, finally finished her information sorting homework, and rearranged the scattered information. The detective raised his head and looked at His Excellency the Prince.

"Is the current strategic focus of our army on the defense of the homeland?"

"Yes. Because of [IoU]'s preemptive nuclear weapon throwing, the citizens of Britain were greatly frightened. In order to rectify and maintain the order of the country, it is also to prevent [IoU]'s superpowers from taking this opportunity to cause Greater confusion, most of our military power is concentrated on the borders of the homeland and on the outskirts of important cities."

The prince asked in confusion, "Miss Meloit, do you have any other insights?"

"Your Excellency, why are the specific parameters of the Dongfang nuclear submarine not mentioned in the intelligence?"

Instead of answering the doubts of the Prince of Wales, Mellie instead expressed doubts about their work.

"If what you want is the data of the 'original' Vostok launched in 1976, I can find it for you." The Prince of Wales was not angry about her accusation, but patiently explained to her, "However, [IoU] also has skilled craftsmen. After these years of transformation, we have no way of ascertaining the performance of the Vostok. Presumably you don't want to make wrong judgments due to information errors. Bar?"

"After IoU launched an intercontinental missile equipped with a nuclear warhead, our satellite and sonar system failed to capture the azimuth and coordinates of the Vostok. Is this also the reason for this modification?"

"Probably."

The Prince of Wales nodded gravely.If it weren't for the unreasonable concealment ability of the IoU nuclear submarine, they would have been able to locate the Vostok as soon as the nuclear bomb was launched, and the Type 45 destroyer group of the British Royal Navy would approach the target sea area at a top speed of 30 knots. All kinds of anti-submarine equipment carried on it blew up the alive and kicking nuclear fish into a dead fish.

"Okay. But if that's the case, the workload will be huge."

"...Miss Mellowett?"

"Quiet."

The detective in the wheelchair closed his eyes slightly. Seeing his sister acting like this, Aria knew exactly what she was doing, and hurriedly stopped the Prince of Wales' question: Before Mellie made a reasoning, there would always be After closing her eyes for a quarter of an hour to think, Aria, who had suffered countless losses because of her reasoning, was naturally impressed by this.

"Because I don't know the specific parameters of Dongfang, let's assume that all parameters are the best level in the world."

The strongest [Easy Chair Detective] reopened his eyes.

"During the previous nuclear strikes, the cities that were attacked included Dakar, Monrovia, Pointe-Noire, Luanda, Cape Town, Rotterdam, New York, and some unknown small ports, etc. I I should have expressed my condolences to these attacked ports for their misfortune, but what is sinful is that I feel a little rejoicing in my heart: the more ports are attacked, the greater the flaws exposed by [IoU] will be.”

She took down the world map hanging on the wall and spread it flat on the desk. Every time she said the name of a city, she marked a prominent mark with a pen on the map.

"At this stage, the effective range of intercontinental missiles can exceed 11000 kilometers. If those ports are used as dots and the effective range is used as the radius, the circle drawn can almost cover the entire Atlantic Ocean."

"However, with a few more constraints, we can effectively narrow that down to make the search feasible."

"for example?"

"For example, the time difference between nuclear attacks on various ports, and the flight speed of SS-N-20 strategic intercontinental ballistic missiles."

The detective took out the carbon pen used for drawing and scribbled on the map, and then erased the handwriting with dissatisfaction after a while. The girl who had no professional military training wanted to make a standard map without relying on a ruler. The arc is a bit more difficult after all.

"……Let me do it."

The golden darkness standing against the wall sighed, and the golden hair hanging by the ears deformed and stretched to take the pen in Mellie's hand, drawing a perfect arc on the map of the Atlantic Ocean.Under clear, specific and executable instructions, the girl who claims to be a "weapon" will not make any subjective mistakes.

"Ah, ah, thank you."

Slightly stunned for a moment, Mellie's small hand naturally caressed the golden catkin transformed from the hair, and drew it to outline the sea chart that she had guessed in her heart.

"When the nuclear bomb was launched, the location of the Vostok was roughly at a certain point in this sea area."

In the end, after a series of cumbersome drawing steps that everyone present couldn't understand, Mellie stretched out his hand and pressed heavily on the map.

"Considering the time difference of about 8 hours from last night to now, draw an envelope on the edge of this sea area... Well, the final result map is almost like this."

"..."

In front of the Prince of Wales, there is undoubtedly a "small sea area" that is much smaller than the entire Atlantic Ocean.

"If the Royal Navy is going to launch a search operation, please do so as soon as possible. The longer the delay, the more independent variables need to be considered, and the less credible this map of the area will be."

"In other words, is the current strategic focus shifting?" The Prince of Wales muttered to himself. After weighing the gains and losses, His Excellency the Prince's eyes became brighter and brighter, "As expected, please come out, Miss Meloit That's right! Without further ado, I'm going to the navy department now, and if it goes well, maybe this war will end soon!"

"If possible, His Excellency, please send this information to other countries. They who are also threatened by nuclear weapons will not want to miss this opportunity."

"Of course!"

The Prince of Wales led the people away excitedly, and after they left, there were only a few girls left in the office.

Golden Darkness spoke first: "It's a remarkable reasoning, now I believe it, you are indeed a wise man comparable to Sherlock Holmes."

"Where is that, you are absurd." Faced with the golden darkness's unstinting admiration, Meluette shook her head very self-effacingly, "This level is not considered reasoning, at most it can only be regarded as outstanding calculation ability. If you are interested, you can borrow Tarski's "Introduction to the Methodology of Logic and Deduction Science" written by Tarski in my library, which roughly introduces the deductive method of my great-grandfather, which is the real reasoning."

Mentioning the field she is good at, Melu Aite immediately raised her eyebrows, and her whole person seemed much more relaxed and happy.

"Well, if I get a chance, I'll go and see it."

"But before that, can you let her hair go?"

Aria stared at Melouette's hand that was still holding onto the golden darkness's hair, her tone was very dark and penetrating.

PS: There is another update tonight.

Shadow of the End, Volume 143: Chapter 44 Chapter [-] The Second Crown Prince

"How is the situation now?"

"According to what His Excellency the Prince said a few days ago, the current situation is developing in a direction that is beneficial to us."

The time was the fifth day after the small meeting of the leadership of the Butei Agency, and Meluette was sitting quietly in her wartime command post, reading the intelligence from the front line.Hearing the girl's question behind him, the detective was not surprised by her sudden concern about the battle situation, and replied to the girl's question in a very calm tone.

"A day ago, the United Fleet finally found the Vostok. With a fleet of this size sparing no expense in manpower, material and financial resources, it was still able to hide until today. It seems that [IoU]'s concealment ability is really amazing."

"It's going well." Golden Darkness went to the water dispenser and took two cups of boiling water, and handed one of them to Meluette, "With sonar and radar both ineffective, it is possible to be in Wangyang in such a short period of time. The trace of [伊oU] found above, this is no longer something that can be described as lucky."

"Yeah, it's not a matter of luck anymore." Mellie sighed, and reached out to take the water glass handed over by the golden darkness, "This development is really smooth, so smooth that people can't help but doubt it." --thanks."

"Ah."

Golden Darkness nodded slightly, but didn't say anything more.Originally, she was not the kind of person who was quick-tempered and talkative. Now, it is for the sake of Aria to remind this country that she does not like very much. Since Merliet Holmes has already noticed At this point, she doesn't need to say anything more.

"I have asked His Excellency the Prince to inform the combined fleet on the front line to pay attention... well, I have done everything I can, no matter how much I worry about it, it is useless, and I will not mention this topic. If everything goes well, maybe the war will not be over soon. It will end."

Meluette shook her head, turned around and smiled slightly at the golden darkness.

"On the contrary, it's you who always run towards me these days. I can feel that my sister is about to endure to the limit?"

"Then let's talk about it to the limit."

The Golden Darkness just said something lightly.

Merliet Holmes, Kanzaki oHo Aria's biological sister, the strongest [Easy Chair Detective] in London and even the world, one of the candidates for [Sherlock Holmes IV], and one of the staff officers of the current British War Command .

If something really happened to her like this, it would not be something that she could handle with mere patience.

"As you said, maybe the war will end soon."

Then you won't be in the dangerous situation you are now, and I won't be by your side like I am now.

Mellie could hear the subtext.

"...Well, it's up to you."

She was inexplicably depressed.

"Miss Mellowett."

At this moment, a heroic voice sounded outside the office, and the visitor knocked lightly on the door, and the sound of knocking on the door made Meluette wake up quickly.

"Ah! Please come in."

The door opened, and the golden darkness stood silently on guard, looking out the door intently.

Walking in from the door is a lady in her twenties, with a typical European face, her manners and conversations reveal a good family upbringing, her brows are filled with a touch of nobility, she looks like a traditional British Aristocrat—Golden Darkness is not sure, because the uniform on this lady clearly shows her identity: a Butei.I remember that Aria once said to her, except for the new nobles, those traditional aristocratic families in England did not look down on the barbaric and vulgar Butei, how could they allow members of the family to become Butei?

"This is the second crown prince, Her Royal Highness Princess Lilith, the eldest daughter of the Prince of Wales."

Mellie quietly introduced to the golden darkness.

"It is because of her that His Excellency the Prince did not prejudice the profession of Butei like the traditional nobles—His Royal Highness Lilith, what can I do for you?"

"I'm here to report on the defense situation of the local garrison."

The princess didn't pay attention to the whispers of the two girls in front of her. She took out one of the several bags of documents from her waist and placed it on the desk. After finishing all this, the noble second crown prince silently retreated. Two steps, just like a most ordinary subordinate Butei, waiting for the next instruction from the chief.

In the heart of the golden darkness, there was a tinge of affection for the princess.

"I see."

Gently rubbing the secret seal on the document bag with her little hand, Mellie nodded to the princess, indicating that she had received it.
