Shepherd Tantra

Chapter 36 You have to play too, right?

When Aiwass woke up, he found himself in an extremely familiar place again.

This is the Candlestick Cathedral in the Red Queen.

It was not the Chapel of St. Guinevere where he entered to learn the sacred skills last time, but the main hall where people came and went.

And he was not the host of the ceremony, but sitting in the back row and praying silently.

Aiwass glanced down calmly, and found that his attire was basically the same as before entering the instance.

He was still wearing his white priest's robes, and he didn't even have a miter on his head.

Could it be a new pastor who just joined the job?
... Strange, who am I?
Just when Aiwass was puzzled, a hoarse voice, as sharp and unpleasant as fingernails rubbing against a blackboard, suddenly sounded in his mind:

"You are Priest Giulio Alexander, 27 years old.

"Your niece Lisa was murdered a month ago, but the Inspectorate failed to find the murderer.

"A month after that incident, you received a letter. The letter stated that you 'did not do what they said' and threatened to kill your son Aiwass Alexander next--specifically The time is today.

"Fortunately, you are a student of Bishop Samuel Mathers, so you took your wife and children to take refuge in the Candlestick Cathedral today..."

The next moment, a few lines of words jumped out of Aiwass' eyes.

[Necessary task——]

[Within four hours, ensure the survival of your son Aiwas Alexander (points: 500)]

Aiwass, who saw all this clearly, suddenly shrank his pupils.

Suddenly he realized something.Even Aiwass' breathing stopped for a moment.

He turned his head and saw his "wife" beside him.

She has platinum-blonde shawl-length hair, a dignified and elegant figure, and a pearl-colored silk dress.She originally had a beautiful face that would make people feel gentle and intellectual, but at this moment, her face was full of exhaustion and haggardness, and she was holding the child in her arms and closing her eyes to pray.

And the boy she held in her arms had platinum-blonde hair.

Because of his young age, his hair is still a little thin and thin, like the fine fluff of a milk cat and a dog.

He obviously didn't know what he was going to face, but he just sat quietly and obediently in his mother's arms, with his sea-blue pupils open, staring blankly at the front.

Seeing "Aiwass" looking over, the boy opened his eyes and looked over.

"dad……"

He lowered his voice, and whispered in a childlike voice: "You are distracted, Dad. Don't be distracted...you said it."

Aiwass was a little confused.He just nodded hastily, and without responding to little Aiwass, he bowed his head and continued to pray.

Only then did he really react.

1884...

——Isn’t this just 14 years ago?
Aiwass this year, 14 years ago was exactly the year he was four years old.That was the year his parents died.

He was so young back then that he couldn't remember exactly why his parents died.

He doesn't even remember his parents' faces, let alone their names.But in his vague memory, it seems that there was indeed such a scene...

He was sitting in his mother's arms, and in front of him were many black figures like giant trees.People were chanting something, and they felt a little hot, dizzy...and nauseous.

Julio...

Is this my father's name?
Turns out my mom's name is Annie... I also have a cousin named Lisa.

Then, they were all killed.

— the voice said, "Didn't do what they said," what did they say?
Why didn't they kill "Julio" but "Aiwass"?But in real history, Aiwass was fine, and Julio and Anne died-is there any difference here?

Although the apostle repeatedly emphasized that the contents of the ceremony were all fictitious...but Aiwass looked familiar no matter what.

For a while, he couldn't tell which ones were real and which ones were fiction.

First of all, I have to confirm... whether my vague memory is correct.

Aiwass thought of this, turned his head and looked at little Aiwass, and asked in a low voice:
"...Aiwass, do you have a headache now?"

"A little bit, Dad..."

The little boy responded obediently.

"what?"

Hearing this, his mother Anne was startled suddenly, opened her emerald green pupils, quickly reached out and covered little Aiwass' forehead, and reprimanded in a low voice, "Why didn't you say it earlier?"

"how?"

Aiwass immediately came over.

Annie frowned, and tried again on her forehead.

She said uncertainly, "It seems... a little hot. But I'm not sure..."

"It's okay, let me do it."

Aiwashua said softly, and hugged himself as a child from Annie's arms into his arms.

He stretched out his hand and pressed little Aiwass' heart.

- The Art of Lighting.

The next moment, a soft light like water soaked in his palm.Warm power poured into the body of "Little Aiwass" continuously.

Luckily they sat in the back and didn't bother anyone else.

The moment he used the lighting technique, Aiwass immediately realized... the mana pool he is using now is not his father "Julio", but his own.

A priest should have completed at least the first step.It is impossible to only have this poor seven points of light attribute mana.

It took him a full point of mana before he stopped his lighting technique.

Aiwass's heart became heavier.

Because he didn't feel any trace of the disease from "Little Aiwass".

If it were someone else, they might think that it was just little Aiwass' illusion, or that the child didn't want to stay here, and just said it casually.

But because it was Aiwass, he knew that "little Aiwass" not only didn't talk nonsense...instead, he spoke very conservatively.

He remembered.

At that time, my head was dizzy, and it seemed that something solid was hitting my skull inside my skull.At that time, he was hot and uncomfortable, and it became difficult to breathe, and the air exhaled through his nose seemed to burn his nasal cavity.It's like being tightly rolled into the quilt when you catch a cold, and rolled into a solid quilt strip. Every beat of the heart is very clear, and it can go all the way to your fingertips.

But little Aiwass was a very strong boy.

He sensed that his parents were very anxious, so he didn't speak out about the troubles he encountered, but endured silently.

Later, as a child, Aiwass gradually lost consciousness.

Seeing this familiar scene, the memory in Aiwass' brain was gradually completed repeatedly.

More and more details became clear:

He realized that the problems encountered by his "son" were definitely not simple.It can cause people to faint and lose consciousness directly, which is already a disease that may lead to death.

However, he really didn't find any disease from Aiwass...

"Isn't it sick?"

Seeing this, his wife Anne frowned worriedly.

She looked at her child, not knowing what to do.

He just leaned over fidgeting, frowned and thought, and proposed a possibility: "I was wondering... Is there a possibility that the person who sent you the threatening letter actually used a curse?"

heard here.

Aiwass suddenly paused.

He looked deeply at his wife "Anne".

——The perspective and standpoint from which she said this was obviously wrong.

Aiwass held the little Aiwass in his arms and buried his face in his chest.

Afterwards, Aiwass looked at "Annie" and moved closer to her ear.

He opened his mouth softly and whispered word by word: "I think...you are 'Lulu', right?"

Seeing Annie's emerald green pupils suddenly become flustered, the whole person sat up straight with her legs together for a moment, and her body subconsciously moved away from Aiwass.

Aiwass couldn't help sighing, feeling inexplicably remorseful for bullying a child.

...It's a good guess.

She looks like a girl who has never been a mother.

There are too many loopholes... Aren't you an "all-rounder" in the path of beauty?Are you an all-rounder who doesn't learn acting skills?

But the other way around.

It was precisely because he easily pulled out "Lulu" from his side that he truly realized that the ceremony had begun.

So he cheered up immediately.

Aiwass didn't want to reveal that the child in his arms was his "self" when he was a child.Therefore, Aiwass did not show the slightest anxiety and concern in his heart at all, but showed a confident and calm gentle smile.

With a little force, he gently pulled "Annie" who subconsciously leaned back to avoid Aiwass back to his side.

"Don't move around. If I'm guessing right, your mission also includes 'acting', right...you are my wife now."

His deep and magnetic voice sounded word by word in the ears of "Annie" who was showing panic:

"Don't be afraid, I'm 'Fox'.

"I think, you definitely didn't choose to give up 'devotion', right. I will protect you. This is exactly my task."

……one.

Aiwass added in his heart.
