Hearing this, Aiwass was finally able to confirm what had just happened.
His earlier intuitive judgment was indeed correct; someone was truly "sending a message with their life"!

Sherlock also reacted in sync, "By cursing that troll sorcerer, they have led us here.
"That's why the curse only lasted for a brief moment, and after being blocked, it wasn't repeated; and despite knowing that they had been discovered, there was no attempt to change their location...
"They weren't preparing an ambush here—it was the old troll gentleman, using this method to tell us Mr. Red Wine's location."
But soon, Sherlock harbored doubts, "However, how did you know that we were near the Holy Maiden at that time?"
This was the point he could not deduce—if the old giant was confined here, then how did he get information about their side?
Could it be that just as Cardinal Loki can surveil the Holy Nation, he could also monitor Cardinal Loki?
"No, I didn't know."
