Shepherd Tantra

Chapter 182 Aiwass' Persuasion
David was obviously quite curious about Aiwass.

Aiwass just ran out yesterday. George said he wanted to rest and didn't let David disturb Aiwass... So David endured it quietly until the next morning.

After finishing today's morning exercise tasks and having breakfast, he immediately ran to find Aiwass.

Aiwass sat in his wheelchair, looking out the window at the winter garden outside.The dead leaves on the ground were cleaned up by the servants, and the big white griffin was running and flying repeatedly with his daughter.

Emily obviously hasn't mastered the Griffin's instinctive skill of manipulating the atmosphere like plucking strings.When she sprints and flies, she will bring up a storm visible to the naked eye and make a loud noise of "Pumba", messing up the fur on her body.

And the other big griffin next to it is faster - it can disappear in an instant, and then reappear.But not only was there no mess on his body, but the whole process was very quiet, no storm was stirred up, and even the tiny tree branches around him didn't shake.

"That's the instinctive skill of a griffin," David said, seeing that Aiwass seemed curious about it, "Dad said, if human beings can get [Storm Affinity] of level three or above, maybe they can do this too." a little."

"What about you?"

Aiwass turned around and said with a warm smile, "Is your road characteristic also storm-friendly?"

"No, I'm Affinity with Thunder and Lightning."

David shook his head and said honestly: "Father said, if I were a warrior or a swordsman, I could do whatever I wanted. Because the advanced ceremony will only give us enough suitable path characteristics, and if we follow our heart, we will not be weak. But I will be a soldier in the future, I will go to the battlefield. And it will be the most intense and cruel part.

"Because of this, any choice that is even a little bit off-center may reduce my probability of survival. So my father gave me clear promotion requirements...including which abilities can be used in the ceremony and which abilities cannot be used; Which characteristics of the road to choose, and which ones can be selected under what circumstances, and which ones cannot be selected..."

David complained: "I've memorized it for a long time, it's very complicated."

Aiwass said softly: "Your father is doing it for your own good."

Your Excellency the Great Guardian really attaches great importance to his son.

Generally speaking, it is difficult for high-ranking transcendents to attach so much importance to offspring...

After all, when the desire for the road overflows, "having a child" has become the most standard and easiest way to relieve it.And the current ceiling of this era is too low, and it will easily come to an end.

Once there is such a concept, or even just such knowledge, it is difficult not to see children as tools for their own protection.

Because the primary purpose of the birth of a child is no longer for love, not even for tradition or inheritance.It's to relieve your stress.

Thinking of this, Aiwass asked, "Do you have any other siblings?"

"Nothing."

Mr. "Knight" is also very regretful about this matter: "In fact, I also really want to have a cute sister. John's sister is very cute, always following behind his ass, with a baby voice... ah , John is my classmate."

He explained casually.

But then he sighed again: "But Mom and Dad said that they are all busy, and it is already the limit to take good care of me. If there is another child, the energy is divided between two people, and everyone will not get enough. Love, attention and family education.

"So at least Dad doesn't plan to have another child during his tenure as the Great Guardian. But I don't really hate having a younger brother or sister...It's nice to have someone to play with and exercise with me."

David imagined the future that he didn't know when he would arrive.

But he didn't know what his parents paid for him-George has been a great guardian for a long time, and now he should be stuck at the 49th level like Meg.In other words, his road pressure has been accumulated for a long time.

Obviously, having another child can effectively relieve the pressure on the road.

And there is no need to deal with internal conflicts in the family that David does not object to or even expect.

They would rather not use that excuse, however, in order to ensure that David would receive the full love and attention, the undivided education and guidance.

Of course, there is another possibility...that is, the great guardian's moral standards are too high, so that he thinks that this will make the process of childbirth too utilitarian, and make the newborn meaningful before it is born.

Therefore, he would rather bear the pain and anxiety of the oppression of the road, and would not choose to expel this part of the strong desire.

...No matter what the reason is, it is really rare.

Especially in this era when high-ranking extraordinary people have a few or even a dozen children per capita, this kind of heart is even more rare.

"He's right."

Aiwass sighed, and said in a deep voice: "When you reach the fourth energy level, or even the fifth energy level...you will know the sacrifices he has made now."

It's not difficult.

For David, who reached the second energy level at the age of 15, it is a certainty that he will enter the fourth energy level.

The world level cap will be opened for at most one more year, and this is without any accidents.Now the development of things has slightly deviated from Aiwass' memory, and Aiwass already has a premonition that "the known future will come earlier or later".

For David at present, the only thing that may go wrong is four to five.

From the third energy level to the fourth energy level, failure or death may cause damage to the soul.Accumulated damage will reduce the probability of success in subsequent advancements.As for the failure cost of four to five, at present, the worst is damage to the soul, and the highest is that it may lead to death on the spot.

The failure cost of four-in-five and five-in-six will not be reduced until the level caps of the Nine Great Paths are fully released for one round.

If Mr. "Knight" is still so naive, he may not be able to advance due to too many accumulated failures.

Even if Aleister can take him once, twice...but it's impossible to take him every time.

If it came to a choice between abandoning the knight and letting him win, or saving the knight and letting himself lose, Aiwass would definitely choose the former.

As the level rises, the intensity of the promotion ceremony will gradually increase.The influence and oppressive power brought about by the strength of the Shadow Demon will gradually decrease... Not to mention, there are also scripts that focus on decryption or games in the promotion ceremony, and not all ceremonies can be resolved through violence.

At least the script written by Wei Zhe will definitely not work.He hates violence and fighting to solve problems, and his script must be the category that will level the intensity of everyone.If his script is randomized, then Aleister with Shadow Fiend will become a negative effect instead-because it is easier for others to group together to attack her.

Under such circumstances, no matter how optimistic Aiwass is about the knights, he is unable to bring one more person to the promotion.Not to mention, Lily will also accompany "Aleister" to the promotion.Compared with the knight, Lily is more important to Aiwass.

Of course, if Mr. "Knight" can be trained well, it means that the promotion of "Aleister" will always bring two reliable teammates.In New Moon Ritual, the advantage of starting with two teammates is infinite... at least until everyone else knows about it.

So if possible, Aiwass still wants to help and educate David.

"Mr. Aiwass," David couldn't bear it at last, and asked aloud, "Miss Aleister...what kind of person is she?"

--coming.

Aiwass thought to himself.

I am not afraid that you ask, but I am afraid that you do not ask.

So Aiwass pondered for a moment, and then replied: "I don't think she is a bad person. At most, she can only be regarded as having a strong desire to perform and possess, and hopes that others will pay more attention to herself. Even if she is used by others, I think that as long as If the heart is good, the result is good, and the consequences are controllable, then the process can actually be ignored.”

What Aiwass said was actually referring to himself.But at the same time, it can also fit the characteristics of the assassin lady.

Now that the "Aleister" vest is basically ready, what Aiwass has to do is to go back and wash and bleach his own vest.In order not to act too much and attract the attention of the investigators.

Just like a "monster thief" - you can't be a wanted criminal who is really ruthless and murderous, otherwise you may be a sniper; but if it is just a monster thief who has not caused actual harm, then maybe the other party will play with you .

Aiwass didn't want to trap the main body because of the trouble caused by the vest.

"So I don't think you were deceived by her. Because Aleister does have a flamboyant charm, which is the attraction of a true transcendent."

Aiwass said softly.

Hearing this, David was taken aback: "How do you know..."

He quickly realized that he had said something wrong, but Aiwass said directly: "Because she told me your story - you met in the promotion ceremony not long ago, right?"

"...Ah, yes."

David replied with mixed feelings.

He was glad that Miss Aleister could remember him, but at the same time he was sad that Aiwass was obviously closer to her.But his good education told him that he shouldn't be jealous at this time - so these complicated emotions were entangled, making him feel that his heart became very chaotic.

"I agree with her."

Aihua Siwen said: "If you want to embark on the road of transcendence, I will not stop it. There is no wrong road on the nine roads. It is your own decision to embark on any road, and you can walk out of your own road.

"But you should only embark on this path with sufficient understanding. Instead of being induced and confused by other people's words-impulses on the spur of the moment cannot last long, and the choice of path and career is without regret Once you set foot on the road, you can’t turn back.”

In the morning light, Aiwass' blue pupils shone brightly.

Sitting in a wheelchair and talking softly, David seemed to see the shadow of Aleister in him.

"Let's see, the common career choice of transcending the path-the spell mage needs to master the knowledge of curse and ritual science; the demon scholar masters demonology and ritual science; The body cannot be manipulated. So let’s get rid of demons first... Then, among the remaining two professions, do you want to summon demons or curse others?”

Aiwass asked seriously: "Do you want to have such a mysterious skill, or do you just have a longing for Aleister and want to be like her?"

David also listened seriously—he actually had this problem too, and had been thinking about it for a long time.

He shook his head: "I'm actually not interested in these... I just yearn for the kind of courage that can give up everything and challenge a strong enemy."

【—Question [-], do you have the courage to live to death? 】

[——Question [-], do you have the awareness to dare to challenge the invincible enemy? 】

Aleister's crazy voice still echoed in David's heart.

"In that case, I have a solution."

Aiwass said bluntly: "Actually, there are some professions that have been lost beyond the Dao.

"Just as the core skill of the path of dedication is the lighting technique that burns oneself to illuminate others, the core skill of the path of authority is the leadership technique including speech, restraint, and judgment. The core of the path of transcendence is actually not a demon, Not a curse either... but a ritual."

"ceremony?"

David wondered, "Isn't it a demon?"

Aiwass said with a smile: "How long has it been since the birth of the Demon Scholar, is it true that there are no professionals who have transcended the Dao before?"

These words are actually a bit taboo-because only with a certain understanding of demonology, it is possible to know that demonologists are actually a new-generation profession.But because of the existence of Aleister, it is not surprising that Aiwass said anything.People will make up their own brains and convince themselves.

And what he said was true—

Demons, curses, and contracts all come from the power of other Tiansi, and the power that really belongs to the snake father is "ritual".

"I actually know that there is a long-lost profession beyond the way, and it is very suitable for you."

Aiwass said in a low voice: "But for now, you cannot take office."

"What's that?" David blurted out.

you boy...

Seeing David's unabashed, almost eager questioning, Aiwas immediately understood that Aleister's words might be effective, but probably only a small part.

David's desire and longing for transcending the Dao, not only was not suppressed, but became more intense.

So I was right to tell David about this at this time...

"That's [Molt Warlock]."

Aiwass half-truthfully replied: "This is a profession that has been lost for a long time. Because it requires the inaugural to have a strong enough body, it can only be used as a second way to change jobs."
