Shepherd Tantra

Chapter 438 The Sacrifice of Rebirth

"That sister...which direction did she go to?"

Aiwass asked immediately.

The girl was also very smart and guessed that Aiwass was looking for someone.

"It came from over there and went there!"

Based on her good impression of Aiwass, she took the initiative to add: "That beautiful sister got off a carriage! It was a brown horse, very tall! The carriage is also brown, very similar to the color of the horse."

"Do you remember the pattern on the carriage?"

Aiwass asked.

The girl immediately replied: "There is a maze-like square white pattern on the carriage!"

——That’s Attorney General Carter’s carriage!

Avas suddenly realized that it was a special badge belonging to the Carter family.

That carriage should belong to the current president of the White Shoes Club, Allen Carter!

The Attorney General is also a member of the "Chocolate Pie". With such a high status, the carriage used when traveling is naturally equipped with anti-detection functions. Ordinary rituals and tracking cannot confirm the target at all.

If the missing person ceremony was held normally, Aiwass would only continue to fail. Only the "Eye of Avalon" can search for targets.

But luckily today is the Candle Festival...

Perhaps Si Zhu was more willing to respond to Aiwass's prayer at this time, or perhaps Emma's reckless behavior also caused dissatisfaction with Si Zhu or his apostles. Therefore, when Isabel could not be found by the missing person ritual, the descending apostle also gave Aiwass guidance - Isabel's brief stop when getting off the car left some traces in place.

The apostle guided Aiwass to this place, and by chance Aiwass met the girl from whom he had bought flowers.

If it's just a coincidence, that's it.

But now this is a coincidence nested within a coincidence...

Aiwass happened to be deeply impressed by the alley that summoned the shadow demon, and he also happened to have a good relationship with this girl.

If Isabel hadn't suddenly wanted to give her some money, Aiwass wouldn't have been able to find her through the girl; if Aiwass wasn't familiar with this place, it might have delayed time and resulted in the girl being attacked or even killed; if Aiwass had Si didn't know her before, and I'm afraid she wouldn't hand over the one hundred white coins to herself, so that she could realize that Isabel and Emma had contacted her, and she wouldn't take the initiative to tell Aiwass about the carriage.

...that good will be rewarded with good and evil will be rewarded with evil?

Not sure.

But there is also a possibility...that is, the coincidence before us is the interference of reality and destiny by those great beings in the dream world.

Even Lian Tiansi can quietly intervene in the real world, and Pillar God can naturally do more.

——Perhaps the twin mirrors are interfering with reality, so everything is so similar to the past!

It is also possible that the candle priest was a little angry because he was disturbed, so he provided help to Aiwass.

...Of course, there is also a possibility.

That means it has nothing to do with any pillar gods or any miracles.

Just because of the good deeds of Aiwass and Isabel, they got good results——

Aiwass couldn't afford to think too much.

He didn't want to accept the money and even wanted to give the girl more money. But he was worried that the girl would be attacked again, so he simply took her with him to the gryphon.

The first time she rode a gryphon, the girl shivered with fear. She lay almost all over the griffon, but she was afraid that she would be too dirty and dirty the white-feathered griffin.

Feeling the girl on his body shaking, Phillip gently comforted her: "Good girl, don't be afraid. You can't fall."

To griffons, humans are very cute creatures worth protecting. Just like humans looking at cats and dogs.

To Philip, this girl was like a skinny stray cat that was so frightened that it was shaking all the time... huddled up in a ball and not aggressive at all. Phillip didn't care that his body was stained with dust, he just felt that his heart was about to melt.

But his comfort was of little significance, because the girl trembled when she heard Philip speak: "The lion, the gryphon has spoken!"

Phillip was still standing on the street with his head held high, and he said helplessly in the calm voice of a middle-aged man: "Yes, I spoke - do you want me to tell you a joke, girl?"

"Don't talk about that yet, Philip... fly this way!"

Aiwass interrupted him and gave the order directly.

Although Isabel was probably out of danger, he still wanted to see Isabel as soon as possible. Only by confirming that she is indeed safe can you truly feel at ease.

Following the direction pointed by the girl, riding a low-flying griffon, Aiwass easily found the carriage that had not driven too far.

The curtains in the carriage were tightly drawn. You can't see anyone inside at all from the outside.

If it hadn't been for the girl's personal guidance, Aiwass wouldn't have been able to find Isabel!

"The succubus isn't here."

Before Aiwass could ask, Vignes on his shoulder suddenly spoke and made an ethereal voice.

"Then stop the car first!"

After receiving confirmation from Night Demon, Aiwass asked Vignes to directly cut off the rope between the horse and carriage.

He opened the carriage door. Then he saw "Yuliya" dressed up in a costume, sitting obediently inside, motionless.

She didn't open the curtain. Or that she couldn't do it.

And as Aiwass opened the car door, the midday sunlight filtered in. The rush overflowed into the small and dark carriage, and the sunlight shone on her shoulders, arms, and hands folded in front of her. The warm winter sunshine seems to have a gauze-like texture, as if it has some substance.

"Yulia" who was like a solid stone statue turned around when she heard the sound of the car door opening.

The moment she looked at Aiwass, her movements froze. Aiwass also kept opening the car door and paused for a moment.

"Lulu!"

Aiwass called subconsciously and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. And Isabel’s eyes turned red instantly.

She rushed forward quickly——

Because I was too anxious, when I got off the carriage, my foot slipped and I lost my balance and fell forward.

Aiwass caught her easily and held Isabel tightly in his arms.

Isabel wrapped her arms tightly around Aiwass's neck and cried out in grievance.

It was different from the whimpering she had made in Aiwass's arms before.

At this moment, Isabel still maintained her "Yulia" posture, crying loudly and almost hysterically.

It seems that only in this way can the fear in my heart be completely washed away.

"I'm here, no need to be afraid anymore."

Aiwass did not ask Isabel what happened or what she had done. The moment Isabel cried, he seemed to feel that he had guessed everything - the cry was like an opera, and it brought a certain premonition the moment the prelude started.

Isabel also seems to have gained some kind of improvement from this crisis...

Such a thought flashed through Aiwass's mind.

He patted Isabel's back gently and comforted in a low voice: "You have done your best. Cry if you want. There is no need to be ashamed.

“For the gods will witness that a strong and brave girl will be born today.

"Look, Isabelle. It's time."

Aiwass said, pointing his finger to the sky: "Raise your head——"

At this moment, it is noon.

The candle ceremony has reached its climax.

An extremely brilliant golden-red radiance weaves into a complex, brilliant and sacred pattern from around the sun.

They surround the sun like thorns, and disperse like lightning.

All the lights in the city suddenly lit up at the same time, and became brighter than they were at night.

People in the streets cheered loudly and held up candles to catch the light. The holy fire was ignited from all the candles, torches, and lanterns at the same time, and the holy waves burst out from those flames like an invisible tsunami, vaguely visible to the naked eye of mortals.

Incomparable warm power filled Isabel's heart. Even the imprint left by the succubus on her heart had faded a lot - the kind of dreamlike sleep seemed to be dispelled by the midday sun. The hot and bright light makes the winter noon seem as warm as summer.

The sick man rose from the bed, the cursed man opened his eyes, and the dying man's breathing became even.

Old scars turn into new flesh and blood, and fatigue and hidden illnesses are burned away by the light.

January 1, that minute at noon.

As the climax of the Candle Ceremony, a bishop-level, world-scale illumination that lasts for one minute will illuminate the entire world as the sun moves.

No prayers are required, no sacrifices are required. No demands, just pure devotion.

People cheered, cheering meaninglessly in the full brilliance.

In this great, bright miracle, I celebrate that I have passed another year, and a new year will officially begin.

——When sixty seconds passed, the whole world seemed to be plunged into darkness. Only a little bit of residual heat remains on the skin, and people call it the candle's kiss.

Whether it's humans or elves, or even beasts and plants. They all got a chance to live a new life at the Candle Festival.

Although it only returned to the normal brightness of winter at noon, the sky seemed to be overcast. Because the more divine light has moved away from here.

Isabel had also stopped crying.

Her eyes became bright again, and even the red eye circles were gently wiped away by the light; the remaining fear in her heart was also disintegrated in the light, and her thoughts became clear and calm again.

Just like destroying a muscle and exercising it again to make it stronger - Isabel felt that her mind had become so strong and full at this moment.

Maybe it's what Aiwass said.

This is not a disaster, but the beginning of new life.

Seeing Isabel calm down, the corners of Aiwass' mouth raised slightly.

Aiwass carried Isabel onto the gryphon and let her hug the unknown flower girl. Isabel greeted the girl affectionately and enthusiastically, and she obviously immediately guessed how Aiwass found her.

"Where to go, Aiwass?"

Seeing that Isabel was found again, Philip, whose tone became leisurely again, asked: "Shall we go find George first?"

"Take us to the Palace of Silver and Tin first, and then please go and bring George back."

Aiwass sincerely thanked you: "I'm really sorry for bothering you, Mr. Philip. Without your help, I would never be able to find Isabel so easily."

Hearing Aiwass's words, the smart Philip immediately guessed what was going on: "Ah... I understand, you want Meg to keep an eye on His Majesty first, right?"

Philip still liked to call Ligeia Meg.

"……His Majesty?"

The flower seller repeated, looking at "Yuliya" with almost horror in her eyes.

But Isabel just smiled, touched the girl's head, and said nothing for the time being.

Let the strongest man in Avalon protect Isabel, and it is obvious what Aiwass will do.

"Yes," Aiwass said in a low voice, "someone should pay the price for this."
