Shepherd Tantra

Chapter 405 The Evolution of Shadow Demon

"You asked me to go to the Round Table Hall for a meeting again? This is the third time."

Aiwass repeated softly and couldn't help laughing: "It seems that I really can't withstand the pressure."

Ligeia was also helpless: "You put too much pressure on them. The atmosphere in the Round Table Hall is more serious now than when the Iris people came in."

It was already December 12th, five days had passed since Queen Isabel succeeded to the throne.

Isabel's tour to several major cities is almost over, and today is the last day. We can return to Glass Island early tomorrow morning and catch up with the end of the year.

Sherlock has already written letters to Aiwass and his brother, saying that he will not come back to celebrate the New Year this year.

January 1st in this world is the New Year of Avalon, and there will be a candle ceremony at that time. The host of the ceremony was the Theocracy's highest-ranking bishop in Avalon, Bishop Samuel Mathers.

After the candle ceremony is over, Queen Sofia's funeral will be held the next day.

After the funeral, Isabel can rearrange her privy council and ministers.

Because of this, the pressure inside the Round Table Hall is increasing.

When Aiwass deliberately let out some news from the ministers of Camelot, saying that "half of the ministers would be replaced" this time, those ministers were very nervous. They eagerly wanted to communicate with Aiwass in advance.

——The knights can easily figure out this fact.

Because Isabel is not in the Palace of Silver and Tin at all now, how did this news come out?

That could only have come from Aiwass.

In other words, Aiwass can at least influence the ministerial candidates decided by Queen Isabel.

Since he has the confidence to say such things, the Cavaliers have to raise their judgment standards for Aiwass again.

From "a young boy" to "the vixen who charms the Queen", then to "the ruthless character who cannot be offended", now he has finally reached the recognition of "a thoughtful and powerful minister".

And Aiwass would take the initiative to make such remarks... In the eyes of the knights, it means that he must have some agenda.

It's nothing more than some benefits - the Moriarty family is not short of money, so they may want tantra books, holy objects, holy swords and the like.

But the problem now is that Aiwass doesn't see anyone at all and doesn't accept any gifts directed at him.

Aiwass kept all the gifts given to Isabel intact, waiting for Isabel to come back and unpack them. In this case, they couldn't even bribe Aiwass.

When Isabel comes back, Aiwass meets Isabel, and his decision to "abolish nearly half of the ministers" may never be reversed. And based on Isabel's trust in Aiwass, it is very likely that this matter will be enforced.

Therefore, the ministers are very anxious and want to contact Aiwass, argue their interests with him, and persuade him to withdraw this decision; the knights on the other side are also very anxious - because they hope Aiwass will not withdraw this decision.

Most of these knights have no factions, or else they can barely be regarded as members of the high-rise faction, because they took some money from Lloyd's and voted in favor of some bills that were beneficial to businessmen. But they all have one thing in common, that is, they have no real power.

These young knights are basically under the age of forty or fifty, and the younger ones are even in their early thirties. As a "Member of Parliament", it can be said that he is very young. The vast majority of them come from the arbitration hall controlled by Ligeia; the remaining half are judges of the Judicial Yuan, and can also be regarded as half of their own people.

The Arbitration Hall requires a fourth-level guarantee to enter, and its main purpose is to serve as a talent reserve for the fifth-level "powerful people."

If one or two ministers occasionally resign, perhaps a civil servant can be promoted from one of the subordinates and cronies of the symmetrical faction to maintain balance; but if a large number of ministers are eliminated, then in order to prevent imbalance, people from the Arbitration Hall or the Judicial Yuan will inevitably be transferred. come over.

There are twenty-one ministers in Avalon. Although there are only a dozen members from the Chocolate Faction, almost all of them are ministers; while the Gaolou Faction has absorbed most of the remaining ministers.

The only one who does not have any faction is the humble chamberlain Mycroft - this is normal, after all, everyone knows that the Hermes family is a pure faction of the queen, and no one dares to bring him in. That means directly recruiting a queen's informant into the small group, which is equivalent to recruiting the counselor into the dormitory group.

And if the policy promoted by Aiwass is implemented, there is no doubt that... even if the "nearly half" quota is only [-]-[-], then the high-rise faction will definitely be hurt. And with this piece of fat to catch, the knights of the Gaolou Faction who had no real power were tempted. They also have less respect for the leaders of their own faction.

——In a few days, you may not still be ministers.

Maybe we will become ministers!
  There is no doubt that this decision to eliminate half of the ministers is true. Although they seem to be convinced by Aiwass now, they may not be able to maintain respect for Isabel.

Aiwass didn't need them to give him anything, and he didn't look down on what these people had.

He doesn't lack money at all; he doesn't like equipment; he has enough occult knowledge.

Come to think of it, no one would dare to offer a woman to him.

From this point of view, Aiwass can be said to be the most difficult minister to serve. This one doesn't like the one who doesn't need it, and the picky one seems to want a colorful black one.

But in fact, what Aiwass wants is very simple.

——That is their loyalty to Isabel. When school starts again, Aiwass will go to the Theocracy. Almost a month later.

I'm afraid he has to go to Star Antimony and accompany his tutor to take the archaeological examination. I won’t be able to return to Avalon for at least half a year.

During this period, Star Antimony may self-destruct at any time due to the Ring of Ending ceremony, and it may also trigger a war.

He didn't want to be out there hunting and developing, only to look back and see that his home was gone. So is Isabel.

Only when the rear is stable can he leave Avalon with peace of mind. And even with the restrictions of Mycroft and Camelot, and with Ligeia and the Great Guardian watching, Aiwass couldn't keep too many ministers with weird thoughts.

Rewashing Avalon's leadership is inevitable.

If Isabel is willing, Aiwass hopes that he can take the lead in this matter.

——In a sense, this is the job of HR.

Although I'm afraid there won't be such a big-name HR, one interview can directly determine the country's most senior leadership.

Aiwass won't meet anyone until this happens. This may cause controversy, make his position less pure, and also give others the opportunity to frame him.

In other words, Aiwass had a rare few days of rest.

You have to rest during the New Year!

Now Aiwass’s daily life is very regular——

Every morning when you get up, feed Shadow Demon first, then pray to Si Zhu to restore mana, and then look at the documents for Isabel. Although there is nothing, it can be used to wait for "Offer Wings of Freedom" to trigger the blood regeneration. In the meantime, I spent some time doing math problems with Yulia, which made Aiwass’ head hurt...

When the blood is full, feed the Shadow Demon a mouthful, and then have lunch; take a nap at noon and the blood will probably be full, then feed him another mouthful; read a book and study in the afternoon to restore the blood, and after praying in the evening, feed him another mouthful, and then Help Yulia sort out her homework for the day. Sometimes in the middle, I feel like I'm in good condition, so I bring Shadow Demon over and feed him a bite.

Shadow Demon now eats at least four times a day, more than Aiwass eats himself.

After feeding the shadow demon to cancel the skill, it belongs to yes.

Under this kind of cramming, the shadow demon's form has also obviously changed.

It's not that I've been fattened... but that I've been fattened.

The Shadow Demon is now like a pool of mud, completely silent. Aiwass can control Shadow Demon's body at will, and it doesn't react at all as if it's drunk.

If Aiwass hadn't been able to feel the presence of Shadow Demon, he would have thought that Shadow Demon was brain dead - if the demon had a brain.

"Want to come and witness it?"

Aiwass invited Ligeia: "The evolution of the devil - you have never seen it."

Just as he revealed Aleister's identity to Isabel and Ligeia, he did not hide the secret of the pastoral law from Ligeia and Janice. Because as long as you live in the palace of silver and tin for a long time, you will definitely not be able to hide this.

"Is this tonight?"

Ligeia had obviously been looking forward to it for a long time: "Shall I call Yannis?"

"Okay, let's come together. Call Yulia too."

Aiwass replied cheerfully, but with a little regret: "It's a pity that Isabel and Sherlock are not here..."

"What kind of demon will Shadow Demon evolve into?"

Ligeia asked curiously: "Is this controlled by you?"

"It's me. But I don't actually need to control it."

Aiwass replied affirmatively: "Shadow Demon's current major sin mark is the mark of jealousy. And on this evolutionary tree, there is actually only one kind of demon that is higher than Shadow Demon and also controls the power of shadow.

"——That's the Night Stalker."
