Shepherd Tantra

Chapter 339 Aiwass’ excitement
The stranger guessed correctly, but also not correctly.

Because it was not just one of the two people who was at the door at this moment - but both of them were here.

After all, losers do not need to choose entries, nor do they need to accept the strengthening of the soul by the characteristics of the path.They were ejected directly after watching the settlement screen, and the winner had to be kept in the Hall by the Pillar God for a while.

The white-haired old earl rushed in quickly, leaning on a cane.

He seemed to have some somatization symptoms due to the failure of the promotion ceremony.Because just yesterday, he was still walking vigorously... but after the promotion ceremony, he used crutches directly.

There is no doubt that this is a symptom of a severely damaged soul.

But even with the help of a cane, he walked as if he was racing a car - almost as if he would be late to catch the train and rushed towards the room.

He first angrily tore off the red lampshade covering the lamp, then endured the pain and insisted on using his immobile foot to kick the sacrifices aside.It seemed that this pain actually made him feel comfortable.

Although he was not angry at the stranger, he could still feel his anger visibly.

"Count Carl..."

The stranger walked over to greet him and said hello in a low voice.

"Call me General, Lieutenant Lorre!"

The old man answered loudly and forcefully.

Along with his voice, another sound like the crackling of a campfire also sounded together with him.

His golden pupils were piercing, as if they were burning with fire all the time.This is also true - he only needs a thought, and the new Balrog can stand up from this old and decaying body.

In normal times, he can still try his best to suppress this impulse and maintain his social identity in the name of human beings.But at the moment when his soul was damaged, he just said a word and the temperature in the room began to rise abnormally.

"Okay, old man."

The middle-aged man who walked in leisurely with a black cane said calmly: "Don't take it out on Albert, he didn't do anything wrong."

He looked to be in his early thirties and had a pair of scarlet pupils.The blond hair was neatly combed back into a long back.And even so, his hair looks very voluminous.

"...Thank you, Your Highness."

Albert scratched his head and responded politely.

His naturally curly hair looked a little messy because he had just woken up.He was wearing black round glasses and looked like a young scholar who had not graduated from university, as introverted and shy.

The genius necromancer Albert Lorey, codenamed "Stranger", is only in his early twenties this year and has already reached the fourth level.But he did not take part-time as a first-level consecration path like the mainstream necromancers, and thus was promoted to a corpse pastor who could easily summon many bones.Instead, he chose the balanced path of working part-time for two levels, and was promoted to a new extraordinary profession - the Disaster Splicer.

The Dusk Path has a special characteristic that is different from other paths.

If they do not supplement their desire for promotion through part-time jobs, the increasingly stronger "static" power of the Dusk Path will stop them from being promoted.Most transcendents on the twilight path will stop at the third energy level, and those who can reach the fourth energy level will always have to work part-time in another path to obtain the basic power beyond twilight.

The calamity splicer needs to become a second-level alchemist in order to be promoted.

Compared to the Ghoul Shepherd, this is closer to the promotion direction of the Amber Craftsman.

If the amber craftsman is a master of playing with souls, then the calamity splicer splices and transforms corpses.When Albert had just been promoted, the first spliced ​​corpse he created was a monster created by combining four corpses, the Hook Demon and the Abnormal Limb Demon - he called it an abomination.

The reason why this profession has only been discovered now is because alchemists have a very high social status in the Star Antimony Kingdom.As long as you can advance to the third level, you can directly obtain the title of Lord and have your own territory.And a generous amount of funds will be allocated every month to allow them to practice alchemy and recruit alchemy apprentices.

The twilight path is the opposite.Necromancers can usually only join the army, and preservationists are the attendants of alchemists - used to extend the preservation time of precious alchemical mixtures or rare alchemical materials.

As long as one can become an alchemist, no one will go down the path of dusk.

But Prince Heinrich, who was also the Count of Leipzig and the master of the City of Knowledge, was aware of the prospects of this profession.So he directly invested a large amount of money in Albert to sponsor his research.

This first investment is ten thousand gold coins.

The royal sponsorship grant that a third-level alchemist can receive in a month is two hundred gold coins - equivalent to more than 300 white crown coins in Avalon next door.In other words, he directly gave Albert a huge investment of fifteen thousand white crown coins when they first met.

The investment paid off very well.

The gargoyle is a classic creation of the amber craftsman.They have simulated souls and can obey complex orders like soldiers.But gargoyles are curse-driven, which means that the simplest dispersal spells can destroy large areas of expensive gargoyles, and a purification barrier arranged by a priest can cause them to lose power immediately after entering.

But as the "disaster splicer", Albert gave His Royal Highness a surprise.

He spliced ​​a layer of flesh and blood shell with independent consciousness on the outside of the gargoyle, and used it to absorb the curse from the outside world.A metal shell was used to cover the flesh and blood shell to protect it intact.In this way, the problem of these gargoyles' fear of dispersion and purification is solved.

It was precisely because of his outstanding talent that Albert began to attract the attention of the royal family as a genius necromancer.The old nobles began to get in touch with him...even the arrogant Count Carl looked at him differently.

"According to what I know about you," the Earl of Leipzig said with a smile, "you are not someone who will be so happy just because you are successfully promoted. Did something good happen to you?" "Yes, Your Highness the Prince!"

Only then did the stranger have the opportunity to tell what happened to him.

He enthusiastically told his sponsor in detail what he had said about meeting Bashir Valentine during the promotion ceremony.And in the middle of speaking, old Earl Karl came over silently and listened to his words.

——What makes Stranger a little confused is that for some reason, the old man suddenly became angry while listening.With a hard grunt, he moved to the window at high speed on crutches, seeming a little depressed.

"...I actually met that Majesty."

The Earl of Leipzig's expression was a little subtle: "Would he actually go to that kind of occasion..."

"I think it was just his friend who brought him here. That guy named Pomponazzi——"

Although the other party was the medium through which he met Valentine I, the stranger was obviously dissatisfied with the person who brought Valentine I to Arc Moon Manor.

Valentine I was not the kind of guy who was greedy for physical desires!
The Earl of Leipzig coughed lightly and reminded: "The 'Pomponacci' you are talking about is the 'Red Prime Minister' in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China."

Valentine I was assisted by two unknown prime ministers, the "Black Prime Minister" and the "Red Prime Minister".And they were also responsible for the smooth operation of Star Antimony in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China.

"...Is it actually him?"

Albert was a little stunned.

He opened his mouth and was silent for a while, but still said a little harshly: "Then he shouldn't take His Majesty to play in such dangerous places..."

"I was transformed into the Son of the Moon by Teacher Peng Bonazi. From this point of view, he can also be regarded as my father."

The Earl of Leipzig interrupted Albert again and reminded him softly.

"...I'm sorry, I got carried away."

Albert bowed his head and apologized without hesitation.

"It's nothing. It's a good thing that you can get inspiration."

The Earl of Leipzig smiled kindly: "Even if your promotion is not successful, it will definitely not be a loss. You are now the deputy director of the Third Research Institute, even if your twilight path cannot be promoted to the fifth level. Your Majesty will never forget your achievements - compared with the cold road level, after all, results are still needed to prove strength.

"You contribute to the kingdom, and the kingdom will remember you. Star Antimony respects the alchemists because the alchemists have brought changes and development to Star Antimony. Not because they have extraordinary power."

Although his own soul was damaged, the Count of Leipzig was not at all distressed.

Instead, he said enthusiastically: "Moreover, I have also recruited Miss Alai. If this recruitment can be successful... you may be able to meet again in the future."

the other side.

Lily and Aiwass, who had returned to their original form, exchanged the clothes they were wearing.And Haina still didn't wake up.

So Lily began to tell Aiwass about her recruitment and the secret code left by the "Count of Leipzig".

She was a little worried: "I feel this is a bit dangerous, Master. How about we not go?"

"No, of course I will."

Aiwass smiled and said: "It's rare that I have a way to disguise myself as 'Miss Aleister'... Of course I have to go."

"Then when will you go? You are now a minister, and people will stare at you if you go out."

"Of course it's time to follow the mentor in archeology."

Aiwass said confidently: "When I was studying abroad in Theocratic Country, it was reasonable to go on a business trip with my tutor, right? I didn't leave Avalon, I just went to Star Antimony from Theocratic Country - no matter how long the hands of Star Antimony people are, I don’t dare to bury nails in Theocratic State. Could anyone find out that I left Theocratic State?”

But Shylock suddenly asked: "Do you know the Earl of Leipzig?"

He was keenly aware of the excitement hidden in Aiwass's heart after hearing the news.

Aiwass stopped and gave him a smile.

"of course."

Aiwass replied slowly: "He has...the key to the next era."
