Shepherd Tantra

Chapter 187 Counterattack Ritual: Shadow of Avalon
...The Dragon with the Silver Crown mentioned me?

What good could that be? !

He still remembers.

The first time I was stared at by the Silver Crowned Dragon was because he swore not to use his own race as ritual materials... It was still because of old Moriarty's inducement.After all, only the devil knows that such a degree of restraint as a "simple oath" can summon the aloof silver-crowned dragon.

Thinking of this, Aiwass suddenly thumped in his heart.

——Could it be that the Dragon with the Silver Crown thought I knew about the sins of heaven?
That has nothing to do with me, it's entirely Papa James' problem!

Avas suddenly felt guilty: "Your Majesty... what did you say about me?"

The Dragon of the Silver Crown is the pillar god of the path of authority, the god of kings.Therefore, it is also possible to directly address the other party as His Majesty.

And Her Majesty's words made Aiwass's heart stop for a moment again: "He said that you are a natural transcendent, which reminded him of himself when he was young."

——I am super!
At that moment, Aiwass realized that he might have lost his horse.

If the Silver Crowned Dragon can praise him, it is probably because he saw his performance in the advanced copy of the transcendence ceremony.This Aiwass is not surprising, after all, it was a ceremony presided over by the apostle of the Silver Crowned Dragon, Gao Wen... It is normal for him to mention a few words to the Silver Crowned Dragon later.

But Aiwass never expected that the mouth of the Silver Crowned Dragon would be so broken—why would Nine Pillars still chat with humans?
Si Zhu has a good temper, but I have never heard of Si Zhu talking to someone about such a thing?
Since the Silver Crowned Dragon can mention this kind of thing, at least Her Majesty the Queen probably knows that she is a parallel walker of the path of dedication and the path of transcendence.

Then she can easily see through the lies of "Aleister" that she has spread.

After all, Aiwass chose this code name to commemorate his past.

"Aleister" is a variant of "Alexander".As long as a few letters are changed, and then read in other languages, the pronunciation will become like this.

Precisely because in the Iris language, Aleister and Alexander are written in completely different ways, so Aiwass is not worried that any Iris people will find out his identity.After all, he had seen his biological father's face during the ceremony, and it was [-]% or [-]% similar to his own.If anyone knows him, he may be able to recognize Aiwass's origins at a glance.

——To put it simply, it's like the meme of "catch shrimp".The more Iris people are, the less they can understand what Aiwass is playing - on the contrary, the Avalonians may understand.

Since Her Majesty the Queen knew that Aiwass was also an adaptor who transcended the Dao, perhaps she knew that the Shadow Demon was his contracted demon.Then she would naturally be able to see through who "Aleister" was.

But the good news is that my vest fell off, but not completely——

Because the Silver Crown Dragon praised himself, in other words, he was recognized by the big boss.

At least, his way of transcendence is now legal.The Queen's ability to say such words directly to him at such a moment meant that she would not trouble him.

Before that, Aiwass was worried that if he came to the Palace of Silver and Tin, he would run into the court ceremonial master.

Although he has never seen it before... But no matter how he thinks about it, the court ceremonial master raised by Avalon must at least have a third level, right?At least after getting close, it would be easy to see through your identity.

The good news now is that Aiwass will not be dragged out and hanged for exposing his identity as a demonologist.

The bad news is that the big guardian next to him is already looking at him thoughtfully.

——Grandma, take it easy!George and David were still listening!
...or did you say that just for George?

Fortunately, the Great Guardian interjected at this moment, diverting the topic that Aiwass couldn't answer at all: "What will happen next, Your Majesty? Is it still the same as before?"

Same as before?
Aiwass, who was silent without saying a word, was moved and noticed the words of the great guardian.

"Well, that's enough."

Her Majesty nodded: "It doesn't matter whether Albert can live or not... At worst, I count myself, I'm going to die anyway."

What is this talking about?
Aiwass was puzzled, but he didn't dare to ask.I can only analyze that this may be related to some sacrificial ceremony...

Fortunately, at this moment, David said in confusion, "Father, Your Majesty... what are you talking about?"

——Good boy, you also have the heart of transcendence!

Aiwass praised David in his heart.

This kind of topic is top secret, I dare not ask.How dare you ask directly in person!

Miss Aleister will praise you severely when we meet again!
But Aiwass also belatedly realized that the queen was not sad, and it didn't seem to have anything to do with whether she was used to it or not...but there were other reasons.

Because Her Majesty looked at David, but the corners of her mouth were slightly raised.Seemed quite content with him asking the question.

And the great guardian didn't scold David, but lowered his head and asked, "Can you tell these children, Your Majesty Sophia?"

"These are the pillars of Avalon in the future," the queen said with a chuckle. "Tell them, these secrets will be passed on to them. Anyway, the curse should be over."

Aiwass was startled suddenly.

The point is, what she said is really true...

Her Majesty actually guessed it?
This is information that Aiwass has never been exposed to in the game.

It has nothing to do with Aiwass not watching the plot, because players who watch the plot don't know what the curse is.

All Aiwass knew was that the last person to die under the curse was Prince Andrew.From him onwards, no one died.

Logically speaking, after the Queen's death, the throne should be inherited by Isabel's father, Prince Albert.He is the first heir.

But it's a pity that he is an iron waste-at least from the status of the royal family, he is a waste.But he was also a good man.

In the plot of the game, before the queen was assassinated and died...he heard that he might inherit the throne, so he ran away secretly.

Of course, it may not be very accurate to say that it was escape.

Specifically, he went on a tour of mountains and rivers.

Like Isabel, Prince Albert lacked the adaptability of an authoritarian path.Therefore, although he is almost 50 years old this year, he only has the authoritative power of the second energy level.

He has absolutely no interest in the throne.He prefers to travel around the country like a minstrel carrying his own special guitar.

He was quite a luthier, reinventing the shape and sound of guitars.This is his masterpiece.

He relinquished his claim to the throne long ago.

However, according to the plot line in the game, after the death of Prince Andrew, there are only three heirs left in the royal family:
Prince Albert, who has two levels of authority and three levels of wisdom; three levels of beauty, Princess Isabel, who is cowardly and autistic; Prince John, who is less than three years old.

——Obviously, even if Albert explicitly renounced his right to inherit, it doesn't count if he said it at this time.

So he just ran away.Using magic to change his appearance, he used the pseudonym "Yunus" as a bard, and traveled across the country with rewards and performance fees to help the poor and poor.After the fall of Avalon, he also went to the Theocracy.As long as Isabel met him when he was on the team, his voice would be very exaggerated, like he was singing - he was still a very popular and funny character at that time.

It wasn't until a later side plot that players learned that "Yunus" was Prince Albert.He wanted to rescue Isabel who was in danger, but because he was too incompetent, he caused even greater trouble - it was already the plot of 2.0 at that time, Isabel was almost level [-], and Yunus was still Less than level thirty.

After finally solving the task, he told the truth.

It was only after he finished his run that he realized that what he had done was not right.But I dare not go back, so I can only do my best to do some good deeds and help others to make up for my guilt of escaping responsibility.And when Avalon was restored, his accumulated reputation among the people also played a big role.

Because of this, Aiwass never considered the possibility of Albert's succession.

——When he knew that Andrew was dead, he immediately knew that Isabel was going to be the queen of the next generation.So Aiwass was actually quite happy at the time, but he didn't dare to show it in front of the big guardian.

"The situation is not complicated."

The great guardian said to the two young men: "You should know that the ancestors of the twenty founding families are now the apostles of the Silver Crowned Dragon, right?"

Aiwass and David nodded.

This is common sense to them.

"However, His Majesty Lancelot, who is also the founder of the country, did not actually ascend to the dream world to become the apostle of the silver-crowned dragon."

At this time, Aiwass was surprised by the words of the great guardian: "He is still alive, because he still can't let go of everything in the material world. The body is preserved in the Chapel of St. Guinevere, while the soul is in the shadow Training in the Kingdom of God... is a kind of phantom. Occasionally, you can meet other colleagues who have become apostles in the dream world.

"As long as there are 21 murdered Du Lac's blood, the ancestors can be resurrected. He will descend into his own body again, holding the holy sword Arondette awakened by blood and unsealed - he will Be the blade of Avalon's invincibility. If anyone thinks that we Avalon are weak at this time, or chooses to betray Avalon at this time...then they will be in for a surprise.

"In fact, we really don't know who the curser is... because our ritual master has blocked all the possibility of non-contact curses three years ago, so that the other party can only use catalyst curses. And in order to instantly kill To kill a person and prevent us from resuscitating them requires a large number of catalysts to arrange a long-term ritual. From then on, we almost knew the problem."

Catalysts of Curse—that is, things like blood, hair, nails, underwear.

"Because in the case of deliberate destruction, those who can still get a large amount of catalysts from members of the royal family for a long time are very likely to be other members of the royal family. This is why the royal family has not conducted in-depth investigations. Because there are indeed people who were poisoned... "

The great guardian is meaningful: "If the purpose of the curse is to exterminate the royal family of Avalon, or just to let Princess Isabel succeed. Then he should start from easy to difficult. It is impossible to skip the easy curse. People, use poison to preemptively kill those who are not easy to curse-for example, Prince Cornett, who shaved his head to prevent the curse, so he was poisoned to death.

"Meg has always insisted that that person might be Prince Andrew—in fact, she also didn't have any evidence, she just had an intuition that something was wrong with him. In fact, we each have our own doubters... For example, I once Doubt Prince Albert. But now it seems that Meg guessed right."

"After all, Andrew died of a burst heart..."

Her Majesty sighed: "I don't want it to be him either. But it seems that there is no other possibility."

Aiwass also suddenly reacted...his heart burst, which was a symptom of the Heart-killing Curse.

This curse requires fingertip blood, and it must be blood from the middle finger of both hands.

Generally speaking, this is very difficult to obtain.It is generally used in the terms of the contract to punish the violator, and the curse is burned into the contract when the fingerprint is pressed.

That's probably why people are generally less sad... some serious, some lighthearted.

After all, everyone knows that there is not much difference in whoever inherits the throne among the remaining three.

The cause of Prince Andrew's death is basically proof that the curser backstabbed the collaborator and completely erased the evidence.

Aiwass also understood why after the death of Prince Andrew, the quest line of chasing the curse in the game was closed; until the Queen was assassinated at the banquet a year later, there was no further pursuit of the curse in the middle, and this matter will not be resolved It's over.

It turned out that the upper echelons of Avalon actually knew that the curse was over... It was difficult to obtain reliable evidence even if they tried to trace it.Since the opponent cursed and killed Andrew, they should have retreated.

"If it doesn't break, it won't stand."

The queen said softly: "Avalon's path is too single, and I have tried my best to change it. But it is still too late... I think they did it at this time because I chose to change.

"In more than 20 years... No, at most ten years, Avalon's ritual and curse technology will be restored. They realize that if they don't do it again, it will be too late. That's why they will do it at this time, choose to weaken Avalon by the crudest means."

Her expression was serious and serious: "But Du Lak's blood will not be shed in vain. We are the descendants of the dragon slayers... If you want to destroy us, you must bear our wrath.

"Before this matter, there were only three people who knew about it besides me. I will also tell Meg and Arius about this matter...they both came from common people and didn't know about the 'Avalon Shadow' this ritual."

It was also at this time that Aiwass could truly realize... This seemingly kind and kind old lady is indeed a rational and ruthless monarch.

For the sake of the possibility of Avalon's future, she was able to endure the royal family being cursed one by one.

In order to draw out the rebels within, to bring Avalon back from the ashes...

Reminiscent of the previous contact between the Silver Crown Dragon and Her Majesty the Queen.

... Could it be that the demise of Avalon was the plan of the Silver Crowned Dragon?
Feign death, right?

But in that case, there is no need for the Queen to really be assassinated... Could it be that she was really assassinated?However, who would have known that the Queen is the last step in the ceremony...

And, speaking of it.

The Shadow of Avalon seems to be the version that Isabel's younger brother opened as a sacrifice...

Aiwass was suddenly startled and remembered another thing.

——He still can't let the queen complete the "Shadow of Avalon" ceremony at this time!
Because something went wrong with this ceremony, it wasn't Lancelot who descended, but Queen Scathach of the Kingdom of Shadows!
