Shepherd Tantra

Chapter 380 David’s Promise

David did not follow the Great Guardian directly, which was what Aiwass expected.

That child is quite sensible and knows the importance.An interrogation of such an important matter was not something he could come to if he wanted to.

The Great Guardian would take the initiative to let "Aleister" meet David because he had confirmed that Aleister Crowley could become their friend.Only then did he feel relieved to let David come over to see her.

Although Aleister will still be in Avalon, they will not expel her directly - but after all, they have stripped her of the title of "royal agent" that they gave her.Regardless of whether Aleister cares about this status, this is considered as their lack of dignity.

They wouldn't rush to invite her back, and they didn't have the nerve to beg Aiwass to call her back.

In other words, although they maintained a friendly relationship, there was also a possibility that... this was the last time they contacted Aleister.

It was from this perspective that the Great Guardian remembered David's desire to see Miss Aleister.

Considering that this might be the last time David would see Aleister...in order to prevent him from having irreparable regrets, George made that unruly request.

More than an hour after he left, there was a light knock on the door of the interrogation room in the side hall of the arbitration hall.

Three clicks of dong dong dong.Like a shy student knocking on the homeroom teacher's door.

Seeing no response from inside, the person outside the door seemed to become more hesitant and knocked three times slower and softer.If Aleister hadn't been the only one in the house, taking a nap with his eyes slightly closed... Whenever she was chatting with anyone else, she might not have heard this overly polite knock on the door.

"You can just come in."

Aleister couldn't help but said: "I can't go over and open the door for you."

"Hug, sorry..."

A panicked and childish voice came from the door: "I just want to..."

David Barton pushed open the heavy door and saw Aleister in the dark room, with his hands and feet bound.

There were no other light sources in the room, and the corridor was pitch black.Even when the door is opened, not much light leaks out.

Although this meets the normal standards for imprisonment, it actually gives Aleister a possibility to escape from prison. In this environment, although her personal extraordinary power is sealed, the Shadow Demon can tear the shackles off her body at any time. , take her away.

In the dim room, only the silver triangles bound to Aleister's hands and feet shone with light.Her hands were folded in front of her and her feet were tightly together.

The silvery white light spread outwards rhythmically.Like the ripples reflected in the lake water, it reflected on her face. Her quiet and noble beauty made David subconsciously hold his breath.

Aleister's lowered eyes slightly raised and looked at David at the door, with the corners of his mouth raised slightly.The scarlet gaze made him subconsciously take a half step back, but he soon felt some special attraction.

He looked at David standing at the door, staring at him blankly.Miss Aleister, who had been waiting for more than an hour, tilted her head slightly and sighed softly: "It came so slowly."

"Ah... sorry!"

David suddenly woke up and immediately apologized respectfully and seriously: "It's my fault."

He did not explain why he came so slowly or quibble, but frankly admitted his mistake.It just looked a little scared, like a kitten or puppy that had made a mistake, cowering away and not daring to get close.

"Sit over here, there's a chair opposite."

Aleister said leisurely: "Or do you just want to take a look at me and leave... right, Mr. Knight?"

Seeing Aleister's half-smiling expression, David quickly came over.

He sat squarely in the seat in front of the Great Guardian, his expression serious and serious.

Looking at it from Aleister's perspective, it felt like the father and son were overlapping in the illusion.

"...Miss Aleister."

He nodded politely and respectfully: "Hello, first time we meet."

"You can just call me Aleister."

Aleister chuckled: "After all, it's not the first time we've met, isn't it? 'Active Barton'?"

This is what David once said during his promotion ceremony.But now, when Aleister reads it, it sounds a bit joking.

Now being read out by Aleister only made David's own cheeks turn red.He felt as if his face and neck had a fever, and he felt a strong sense of shame.

——If he had known this, he would not have said such a title in the first place!
"...Yes." David said softly, "I'm sorry, I didn't keep my word."

"what?"

Aleister was a little surprised.

Did you say anything?

"I told you at the time that you don't have to worry about being arrested; even if you are arrested, I can release you directly."

David was obviously ashamed and looked a little sad that he had broken his promise: "But I couldn't do it, I'm sorry. I'm really sorry."

As he spoke, he raised his head and said seriously: "I also asked my father, but my father said that this matter needs Your Excellency Ligeia to have the final say... I will ask Your Excellency Ligeia later!"

Aleister hissed lightly and thought about it for a while before finally remembering that sentence.

That was during the promotion ceremony.

It was the promise David had made to her when he thought she was "Mr. Aleister".

At that time, David asked Aiwass very naively how he could transfer to the transcendental path... and the result directly shocked Aiwass.

Putting aside the issue of whether it is legal to transcend the path, ordinary people do not have the conditions to change the profession of a curse mage. Demons mainly depend on talent and qualifications, and the only ones who can get the job are demon scholars.And if you want to change to a demonologist, you have to join the Noble Red - is this okay?
So Aiwas persuaded him earnestly for a while.

——Even if you have the adaptability to transcend the path in your heart, you may not necessarily embark on this path immediately, my child!

This is like a child wanting to major in environmental engineering or bioengineering.I want to think about it, but after all, I still have to think about finding a job after graduation.

Not to mention that David is still initiating a major life consultation with the "net friend" he met for the first time, and even has the intention of avoiding his parents and secretly changing his path... As a mature and reliable adult, Aiwass It is very normal to help stop someone.

It’s not that I have to stop you, but you must think clearly about such a big thing before talking about it.You must not make decisions on your own out of your head.

Later, when he learned that David was just 15 years old this year, Aiwass suddenly understood.

...Ah, no wonder.This makes perfect sense.

Moreover, the road is harder to turn back than the major in college - if you choose the wrong major, you can change majors or enroll in classes for self-study, or you can work across majors.

But once you choose the path, you can never turn back.

As long as the level of a certain extraordinary profession reaches level two, enters the first level, and obtains the path characteristics of the Pillar God, there is no way out.You have decided on your second path at a young age, and it will be too late to regret it later.

Aiwass only felt that he had done what he should have done at that time - it would be extremely wicked to deceive others into becoming a demonologist.Not to mention that he was originally an enemy of Noble Red, so it was impossible to send people there.

Fortunately, David is one of those rare children who is not too bearish and can listen to what others say.He obviously listened carefully to Aiwass's words, and understood and accepted Aiwass's suggestions.and realized the kindness of "Mr. Aleister" to him.

So he extended an invitation to "Mr. Aleister" at that time.He said that if he came to Glass Island in the future, he could go to him and he would ask his parents to entertain this benefactor.If you are caught, you can ask your parents to help release you, and you don't have to worry about illegally crossing the road.

——Because it was a conversation in a dream, Aleister could not remember it clearly.

It was only now that David mentioned it again that she recalled that it did happen.

…But to be honest, Aleister wasn’t really serious at that time.

No matter how you look at it, it's the kind of polite words like "I'll treat you to dinner when I have a chance in the future."After all, this was the first time they met, and neither of them knew the other's age, gender, identity, appearance, name... which was roughly equivalent to netizens who had met for less than 24 hours.

——Who would have thought that David was serious at the time!
That he could remember such details in this promotion ceremony shows that after completing his promotion, David immediately found a notebook and wrote down the promises he made.Then watch it over and over again if you have nothing to do, so that you can remember it firmly.

At that moment, Aleister was moved but also worried.

David's serious and simple character always feels like he has been deceived by other smooth-talking bad guys...

Originally, Aleister wanted to amuse the child.But now I can't bear it anymore.

Because even if it was just a joke, he would probably take it seriously and remember it for a long time.

It’s better not to bully such a child too harshly...
