Shepherd Tantra

Chapter 617: Is he not acting anymore?
When the tattered and bruised human looked up, Aiwass felt a sense of vitality from his bare chest, violent breathing, scars and bulging muscles all over his body.

A pure "sense of power".

——That was the "bravery" that had completely disappeared in Aiwass' time. It is the inheritance of [power] that has been severed.

But at this moment, the man suddenly fell down and fell to the ground with his head on the ground.

Aiwass was startled and immediately urged the Pegasus under him.

The Pegasus drew a bright golden arc, rushed to the man with Aiwass, and caught the man who had just fallen into the air.

"Are you OK?"

Aiwass asked with concern: "What's your name?"

"fine……"

The man's voice was unusually dry and hoarse, as if he couldn't even speak after a serious illness: "I am Arthur."

The sin thorns on his body have now withered and turned into black smoke. Only a small section of the sin thorn was still connected to his right arm holding the holy spear.

Correspondingly, Aiwass can use other abilities of the Sin Scholar. Also able to use rituals beyond the path at will.

During the promotion ceremony of the path of devotion, he was able to use the power of the little butterfly, which also meant that the promotion ceremony of the path beyond the path could not be used.

Aiwass was stunned for a moment: "Why...?"

When he participated in this ceremony, the giant chief once called the name Arthur. Judging from the youthfulness of Arthur's body, this should still be an adventure before he became famous. It was during this adventure that Arthur gained the recognition of the Holy Spear.

Aiwass thought to himself.

——It would be better to say that an aboriginal who can communicate normally, is relatively good at fighting and has no malice, isn't this the temporary teammate that the boss set for himself in the script?

But at this moment, he suddenly felt excited and startled.

"Wait a moment." Aiwass looked around and found the available ritual materials. "The giant's heart can be used for treatment. Although the magic cauldron is gone, the giant should have a water cup, and it can be used for treatment." Use it as a pot..."

Aiwass complained casually, subconsciously reaching out and pressing the opponent's chest.

Then he was suddenly stunned for a moment, and then he realized that the power of his dedication to the road at this moment, and even the Flame-Resisting Butterfly, had been sealed.

——It was indeed Arthur.

He really hadn't thought about this problem.

Just as Aiwass was searching for clues around him, the human warrior he helped to the clearing suddenly said: "Why did you save me?"

The human incarnation of the Silver Crowned Dragon is indeed extremely brave.

"Listening to your voice, I can't tell you that it's okay..."

While he was thinking about it, the other party asked again: "Is it okay for you to use giants as ritual materials?"

Aiwass blurted out.

But this mouth is also really tough.

"Giants are not considered my kindred spirits..."

"……what?"

——Wait a minute, what does he mean?
Is there something wrong with the other party's perspective?
Normally, if a human sees an elf knight arriving here on a Pegasus, accompanied by a high-ranking demon, shouldn't he ask about the Night Demon first? For example, "who is she", "why are you with him" and so on.

But the other party didn't have much respect for elves, let alone the fear and fear of demons.

You know, the first demonologist was Jean de Fontanel, who was in the early fifteenth century. According to Aiwass’s first promotion ceremony beyond the path... the story of the giant Pancoad and his wife took place in 1320, and Avalon was founded in 1340.

This was at least a hundred years before Fontanel was born!

There are no demonologists at all in this era, and those demons are still apostles of the Fallen Heaven Division!
Is it ridiculous for an elf knight who serves the candlestick to mix with the demons of the Fallen Heaven Division?

...Wait, it’s still not right!

Aiwass suddenly realized the crux of the problem. ——The "Sir Helechin" he plays now is actually a character born before the era of "Arthur"!
It is precisely because of the sacrifice of "Sir Helechen" that people no longer regard giants as lofty giants, so Arthur and the other nine warriors may have the courage to go here to find the holy spear; and since Arthur will come to find the holy spear , which means that Apostle Carstening is dead.

If the death of the Candle Apostle Carstenning preceded the sacrifice of Sir Helechin, then there would be no need for him to go to Avalon to investigate the "evidence of the giant's crime".

In other words, Arthur should not appear in the story of "Sir Helechen"!

In the era before Sir Heleqin died, "Arthur" was still the crown prince of the path of power!

——Then, there must be something wrong with Arthur who appears in front of him!

And Aiwass still remembered another thing - he once swore in front of the Silver Crowned Dragon that he would not use his own race as ritual materials.

Looking at the calm eyes of the human warrior who called himself "Arthur", Aiwass gradually realized something.

...I am super.

Who are you? !

"very good."

Arthur nodded slowly, with a serious expression: "You have to remember that the sin of heaven is idealistic to a certain extent. For example, a half-elf can think that humans and elves are all his kind, and he can also think that humans are the same race. He is not of the same race as the elves. How he judges in his own heart will be judged by the sins of heaven.

"The fundamental principle of the sin of heaven is the sin of 'treating the same kind as material'. It is a sin of arrogance and the first of the seven deadly sins. And this kind of kind is not necessarily limited to the 'same race' ...It may also be that they are of the same ethnicity, or the same country, or even the same kind of people, or they may be people of different races who have good feelings for each other.

"You just need to live an upright life with no guilt in your heart. The brand of sin will ensure that you are safe."

Arthur, whose body bones were almost completely broken, did not cry out in pain or rest. Instead, he maintained his scarred posture and gave Aiwass some serious instructions like an elder.

Aiwass was trembling with fear, as if walking on the ground.

——He hasn’t introduced himself at all!

The other party explained the secret of the Mark of Sin to him so familiarly... And even for ordinary demonologists, the Mark of Sin was knowledge that had nothing to do with them. Not to mention the occult knowledge of "Sin of Heaven", which was considered secret knowledge more than five hundred years later.

This is probably the Silver Crowned Dragon himself!
It's just that Aiwass doesn't know whether this is a helper invited by the boss, or whether he himself came here to join in the fun...

Speaking of which... the individual "Arthur" who was divided by the "Disaster Dragon" who is still Mian Tiansi seems to have a desire to transcend.

In other words, he is indeed Aiwass's predecessor on the road to transcendence.

Aiwass ultimately did not find the copper pot or cup, but he found a copper shield. He lit a fire below, placed pieces of the giant's heart and liver on top, and roasted them with cumin and plenty of garlic he found in the kitchen.

This recipe is like a teppanyaki barbecue, and it is the simplest ritual that uses high-quality meat ingredients. Because barbecue itself is the first ritual - it means the art of cooking food to maturity. In the past when humans were still in primitive times, "cooking" was the most effective way to maximize food nutrition and reduce toxicity.

Just like some of the witch's potions must be put into stew to be most effective.

——Stewing and roasting are the simplest rituals. Just like a dragon-slaying warrior bathing in the dragon's blood and devouring the dragon's heart - if you eat the dragon's heart directly, you will undoubtedly be exploded by its power. And if the dragon heart is cooked before use, the toxicity and danger will be reduced a lot.

The core principle of ritual science is that "you don't understand why you are doing this, but you must carry out the steps accurately and carefully, and you must have clear purposes and expectations when performing it, and your own abilities are not enough to complete the goal of this ritual." sacred act.

As long as there is a supernatural element mixed into this sacred act, it undoubtedly belongs to ritual. And if this ritual is fully understood and disenchanted, it becomes part of alchemy.

When eating the giant's heart, "Unidentified Mr. Arthur" gave experienced comments and teachings:

"Your idea is okay. The giant's heart and liver have enough vitality, and the mana they belong to is fire and earth. Copper is a metal mineral that belongs to fire, which is enough to bring out the power of the 'fire element' in it. Sage, amaranth, ginger and cinnamon can further enhance the healing effect.

"Also, the giant's bone marrow is also a good ritual material. It can be used to heal bones after simple detoxification treatment. You can use grapes to ferment and purify it, especially if you are sick, have shriveled skin and have black spots. The gray and velvety grape skin. Use this grape to mix with giant bone marrow, and then ferment it. In order to speed up fermentation and keep it clean, it can provide additional water and light attributes. The best choice for the mana carrier is blessed oak ash. Or honey. This way, after concentration you get a fragrant black ointment.

"In addition, the skin of giants also has wonderful uses. Especially the skin of pure-blood giants. The red bear hair on their skin can be collected, degreased and dried for storage. This dried bear hair mixed with cinnabar can be used as a powerful fire-attribute energy injection material. , if a small amount of inflammation essence is added, the effect can be further improved.

"The depilated giant's back skin can also be tanned with tannins and made into leather. The oil extracted from the giant's blood is used to preserve it, and then burned with fire after seven years. If it is successfully made, you can get A material with excellent magic resistance that is immune to many spells below the third level..."

Arthur's words became more and more crazy as he spoke.

Aiwass was frightened when he heard this.

...Brother, stop, brother!

Do you not want to act at all?
