FAMOUS DETECTIVE HOLMES
The Magic Castle! Holmes, Dead or Alive?
The Holy Cross Sword...
... after thirty years, it's open to the public.
The noble Wizard family...
they even sat at the same dinner table with King Arthur in the old days.
They handed down this mysterious treasured sword to their descendants.
Mr. Holmes, are you listening?
The Holy Cross Sword is a symbol of aristocracy.
And it has a very important secret sealed inside of it.
Oh...
There's a rumor about the secret. It could lead to an enormous treasure.
Oh, it's beautiful.
Since such an important treasure will be open to the public, tomorrow...
I don't think it's time for you to relax.
Well, until tomorrow, they're planning to have security guards...
and the sword will be kept in a large safe.
What? How do you know so much?
Well, a messenger from the Wizard family came by earlier.
That's our invitation.
Oh, really? I didn't know that.
You!
What is this?!
Hey, are you okay?
Oh, this really is a marvelous sword.
The jewels and ornaments are so beautiful.
This workmanship...
It must have been crafted almost five hundred years ago or even earlier.
But why have they sealed this inside of a triangle crystal?
That's a mystery.
I see. It's very interesting.
Hello, Mr. Holmes!
Sir Wizard, It's been a long time. Little Sir William, how are you doing?
This is my friend, Watson.
How do you do?
Welcome.
How do you do? Willy, can you greet our guests, too?
Mr. Watson, it's nice to see you.
How come you have such sharp ears?
Does this mean there's a case going on?
Oh, you didn't know about it?
Actually, a mysterious incident recently occurred.
Mysterious incident?
The Holy Cross Sword was kept in this safe.
However, yesterday, some thief broke in and opened the safe.
As you can see, he didn't steal the sword.
I see. Is there any other jewelry inside the safe?
No, only the Holy Cross Sword.
The thief's target was the sword, but the sword was not taken.
I've never heard of such a ridiculous story.
Did they replace the sword with a forgery?
I thought so at first...
but this is the real sword.
Well, I'm going to investigate elsewhere.
I'll let you investigate here, Mr. Holmes.
Nyah!
What is it, Holmes?
I see. It's magnesium.
Magnesium? What is that?
Don't you know?
The stuff that creates a flash when you take a picture.
Why did they only take a picture and leave the sword?
May I see it?
Oh, I can see some small hieroglyphs.
Excuse me.
This is...
The first one is a snake.
The next symbol is three lumps and two shiny eyes.
And a castle.
There are seven symbols all together.
If you figure out what they mean, you will know the secret of the sword.
Then the legend of a treasure hidden by our ancestors is true.
The Professor wanted to take a picture of these symbols.
The legend was written in the ancient code of the Wizard family.
What is wrong with this?!
There's nothing on the photograph.
That's shouldn't be!
What's going on?
We took out the sword and projected the symbols on the wall.
Then we took a picture of it.
Yes.
You fools!
Because you burned magnesium, the symbols didn't show up!
But we can't take a picture unless we use a magnesium flash.
We just followed your instructions.
Yes. How could I make the mistake of giving this mission to these two fools?!
Oh, then it wasn't our mistake.
Well, that's good.
Yes, that's great!
Shut up!
You two! Just remember what kind of symbols they were!
Now! Hurry!
Well.
It was a snake!
And its tail was split in two.
First, the snake, is of course... a river.
Then, the two tails are...
the joining point of two of the river's branches.
So, the three lumps are mountains?
Yes and the two shiny eyes are either lakes or swamps.
Now let's put all of these on the map.
It's Dayburg Castle.
It's the ancestral home of the Wizard family.
Now we just have to visit this area.
We're going to Dayburg Castle immediately.
They saved us the time of figuring this out.
Let's follow them and steal the treasure.
The clouds are very close.
It might rain soon.
What?
You found me?
Why are you here?
They've stopped.
You can't just come along with us like this.
I left a letter for my grandfather. So, don't worry.
But...
it's all right. I'm already old enough.
Do you promise that you won't do anything dangerous?
Yes.
Then, let's go.
Yeah! All right!
Don't do anything dangerous!
Oh, they started to move.
They're trying to get ahead.
It will soon be daybreak.
Dayburg Castle.
I see. Three mountains and two lakes.
Hey! Get to the basement quickly.
Why the basement?
Fool!
It's an old custom to hide treasure inside a basement!
Stone circle.
It's shaped like a necklace.
Let's hurry! It's almost sunrise.
Professor, let's go home.
I'm sure some scary ghost will come out.
Humph! Ridiculous! I won't share any treasure with you two!
This is bad.
Professor, look at that!
Hurry! It's not here.
I thought so.
As usual.
The one piece of rock that the sunrise points to.
This must be the entrance.
Wait! "Two people who have good souls should help each other."
"Go backward one step and then go forward."
It's impossible to move this rock with just two people.
Wait!
Hurry up and open this! Hold this rock!
We have no choice but to use force.
Ready?
Let's go!
What are these holes for?
We should be careful.
Oops.
Watson!
What was that?
What is that sound?
What is that voice?
Who knows?
It seems like there is a tunnel over there.
Watch your step.
I feel like I'm at the bottom of a well.
This is not good! Let's go back!
Oh, no!
Now there's water!
Water from the lake is pouring in.
Hey, Holmes! Do something!
We will all drown if we stay here!
Just hang on until the water reaches the ceiling.
This is it. Goodbye my friend.
Watson!
My rival, Holmes.
It's strange meeting each other in such an unusual place.
Oh, you look awful!
So this is the end of the famous detective.
I humbly pray that your soul rests in peace.
We're saved.
Professor Moriarty's new weapon saved us.
It's dangerous! This stone bridge looks very fragile.
It can handle my weight.
Secure the end of the rope.
All right!
Here!
Oh, no!
Watson!
Willy, the hole!
I finally found it!
Is the treasure inside of this?
Yes.
What is this?
It looks like an old bible.
I know that!
I see! The place where they hid the treasure, must be written in this bible.
Professor.
Nothing's there! It's just a bible!
Drat!
I know! Somebody must've already stolen it!
Ouch!
Somebody's coming.
We have no choice but to leave.
Oh, no! They got here first.
The treasure is gone.
No, there wasn't any treasure to begin with.
See, only the mark left by the bible.
One bible.
Professor Moriarty got angry and threw it.
Look at this!
Holmes.
Just watch.
Oh, this is...!
What a beautiful bible!
This is the treasure that the ancestors of the Wizard family...
Left for their next generation, 700 years ago.
Oh, grandpa!
Grandpa! I...
I found your treasure!
Oh, is it true?
Curse you, Holmes!
I was waiting for you!
Moriarty, this is your last day!
Run!
Hurry!
In the Thames River, covered by heavy fog...
There is a monster that pulls cargo ships down deep beneath the river.
Such rumors are spreading around London.
One evening, a young man disappears in the river.
A girl believes he's still alive, and Holmes starts to investigate.
