Shepherd Tantra

Chapter 226 The gunshot wound in the back

Ivester checked carefully and found that the guy at the front desk wasn't fooling me - there really was no hot water in the room.

Not only was there no hot water, there was no way to even boil water.There was no stove in the room, and no place to take a shower.

…After all, this is Avalon 60 years ago, so it’s reasonable.

Judging from the hot dishes available here, at least the kitchen can still boil water.It's just that they don't provide it to guests...most likely they are still burning firewood.

Aiwass was deeply aware of what great deeds Queen Sophia had done - without the popularization of alchemy, the equipment in Avalon Township would have been no different from the Middle Ages.

There are no lights, no telephones, no hot water... there is not even a gas stove in the guest room.The price of fireplaces simply cannot come down.

Fortunately the body Aiwass was using was relatively strong and they wouldn't be spending the night.So there is no need to worry about colds and fevers.

Fortunately there were clean towels in the room.

Aiwass tried it and wanted to use lighting to heal Daiya's body.

Sure enough... Weizhe's ritual was indeed very demanding, and Aiwass couldn't use the lighting technique at all.In other words, there is no magic power in his body.

... Tsk.

Also, if he could use the lighting technique, the mission would not require him to find medicine.

But Aiwass didn't panic.He had gained extraordinary powers not long ago, and he was not in the habit of relying too much on his extraordinary abilities.

Unlike those senior extraordinary beings who have become accustomed to the existence of extraordinary abilities, this may be regarded as Aiwass's strength.

He first helped his "daughter" Daya dry her hair, and then let the sleepy and listless girl get some rest under the quilt first.Then he wiped his body again and squeezed the water from his hair.Then he put on his underwear.

——He had checked when he entered the room before, and there were no pajamas provided in this room either.

"This shabby hotel really doesn't want anything..."

Aiwass complained that he didn't even have hot water to drink - but he found a barrel of low-alcohol wine.

This surprised Aiwass.

He turned the bottle, took a glass of wine for himself, and drank it in one gulp.

Aiwass smacked his lips.

Surprisingly, even for Aiwass's taste in food, the taste of this wine is pretty good - considering the poor service provided by this hotel, it is already considered to be the highest quality content.

"Let's deal with it like this first."

Aiwass made up his mind.

He drank two more glasses in a row and felt his body slowly warming up.Although he knew that this was actually an illusion caused by alcohol, he was at least feeling better - he hadn't drank water for a long time and his throat was dry.It is better to quench your thirst with low-alcohol alcohol than to drink raw water directly.

He hesitated for a moment, wondering whether he should feed Daya some wine.

But he quickly dismissed the idea.

Just ask the front desk for hot soup.And I might leave this level soon...

But if you want to go out, you still need to find some clothes.

"...Do I have to wear this clothes?"

Aiwass frowned, looking at his soaked coat and feeling a little dizzy.

He glanced at "Agni"'s travel bag.It was also wet from the rain, and there was no telling what was inside.

Logically speaking, no one should bring a change of clothes with them on a same-day trip...but let's take a look first.

But after opening the travel bag, Aiwass was surprised to find that there was actually a set of folded clothes inside.

There are shirts and sweaters.The styles are quite exquisite and the materials are good.

Because it was folded, the edges were a little damp, but it was better than what I had on my body.At least wearing it close to the body shouldn't be a big problem.

"……Um?"

But after Aiwass unfolded the clothes, he discovered something unusual.

I saw a little blood stained on the back of these two pieces of clothing - and a small hole in the middle.Aiwass reached out and touched it, placing his fingers in front of himself.A touch of red was clearly visible on his fingertips.

I don’t know if it’s because the rain has wet the travel bag, but the blood stains still look a little wet.

Avas suddenly became serious and reached out to touch his back.But he found that his back was intact and not injured.

"So to say……"

Aiwass murmured lowly and turned the travel bag upside down.Spill out everything inside.

There are also folded trousers in the bag, which look like the same coat that he used to protect Daiya; there is also a large envelope with stacks of brand new white crown coins leaking out of it; there is a silver pocket watch, style Very beautiful.

Aiwass snapped open his pocket watch.

The needle points to 5:11.

It must be five o'clock in the afternoon, Aiwass thought.

And, if that’s the case…

Aiwass rummaged through his bag carefully.A gun was quickly shaken out from inside the folded pants.

……really.

He put on his clothes and pants first, feeling his body gradually getting warmer, and he breathed a sigh of relief.Sit down and start studying the gun.

It was a rather fine revolver, loaded with five rounds.The handle of the shell is also partially decorated with silver carvings, with fine Elvish runes engraved on it.

In his dream, Aiwass couldn't see his own panel, and couldn't see the attributes of his equipment.He didn't understand alchemy either.But Aiwass looked at it roughly based on his knowledge of rituals and demonology, and reluctantly judged... This seemed to be a specially-made firearm used for hunting demons.It can cause higher damage to dark attribute demons.

How could a teacher have such a thing?
He swung the wheel out to the left and found that a bullet had been fired, leaving a disc-shaped brass residue.

Aiwass turned the wheel thoughtfully, frame by frame.Thinking at the same time.

"...Remembering who you really are."

Aiwass frowned slightly as he remembered the mission of [The Real Me].

My memory... is wrong. It should be said that there is something wrong with Agni's memory?
He stared at the gun in his hand, and suddenly heard a very soft voice from behind: "Dad...?"
"...Why aren't you wearing any clothes?"

Aiwass turned around and put the pistol on his waist.

I saw that Dai Ya had opened her eyes, huddled in the quilt and was looking at herself.

It was a little girl with fine, soft brown hair and blue eyes.Timid and cute looking.

He said gently: "Are you feeling better, Daya?"

"Yeah. I feel like my head doesn't hurt so much anymore..."

The girl said timidly.

"You still have to take a rest. Don't get out of bed. I'll get you some hot soup."

Aiwass said, putting the clothes he had changed into his bag.He shook his leather coat vigorously and shook the water to the floor.Then he put on his coat, covered the hole in his back, and hid the gun at his waist.

Afterwards, Aiwass opened the door and left the room.

At this time, it seemed that many people had come to the hotel.When he went out, he saw someone quarreling next door... They were even arguing with the door open. A young woman was standing at the door, arguing with the people inside.

When they saw Aiwass pushing the door open and coming out, the quarrel ended immediately.

The woman looked at Aiwass warily and distantly, immediately walked into the room, and closed the door and locked it.

Aiwass raised his eyebrows and said nothing.

He stood quietly at the door and listened for a while, his tall body casting a silent shadow.As a result, there was no sound at all in the room, not even a whisper.

--interesting.

Aiwass grinned and sneered silently.Then he walked generously downstairs.
