Shepherd Tantra

Chapter 671 Lily’s Free Will

March 2nd, morning.

On the second day of the meeting of the cardinals. After Aiwass woke up, he was doing his daily morning prayers.

The biggest difference after signing the contract with the Lord of Scales and Feathers is probably that there is an extra link in daily prayer - after finishing praying to Si Zhu, he has to pray to his contract owner, the Lord of Scales and Feathers. Have a round of prayer.

Of course, it doesn't have to be respectful or troublesome.

In fact, it is nothing more than making a report to the Lord of Scales and Feathers every morning, reporting the itinerary, seeing when the boss's power may be needed, and making an appointment; and then giving a two-sentence summary at night. If you have used the Lord of Scales and Feathers, Just use up your strength, restore the charge of your own path crystal, and finally give a polite compliment and that's it.

In a sense, it is more "feeling" than praying to Si Zhu.

The priests' daily prayers to Si Zhu never received an answer from Si Zhu. In essence, it is similar to punching in and signing in at work. It is normal for the clocking machine to respond as usual after clicking.

——You can’t ask the time card machine to become a spirit and suddenly say to you in a powerful voice: “Good morning, Night City!”

But this is how you can look forward to the reaction of the Lord of Scales and Feathers.

"So what is Night City..."

Aiwass muttered: "I always feel that the mysterious aura of Huantiansi is gradually breaking..."

Aiwass closed his eyes and complained in his heart.

"why?"

As Aiwass opened his eyes, he exited the state of prayer. The cold feeling, as if he were wearing slightly damp single clothes and being under a cooling air conditioner, faded from his body.

The Lord of Scales and Feathers shouted in Aiwass' mind energetically.

At this moment, there was a gentle knock on the door of Aiwass's room.

Of course, it may also be because his path has returned to a balanced state again.

Apart from anything else, at least after mastering advanced magic, Aiwass feels that his mental state has become more stable - sometimes, having a "friend" who can complain about something at any time is more comfortable than being alone in a daze. a lot of.

The Lord of Scale Feather suddenly said: "By the way, if you need to use the [Gap of Two Instruments], it's best to tell Sand Clock one or two days in advance."

"Tsk."

"Good morning, Night City!"

"All right……"

"You have already seen Lily being divided. You should know that this thing is quite harmful to the body. After all, it completely separates the essence of the soul. Rest for a day or two. I have already considered that you have the [Soul of Dissolution]. situation."

The flame butterfly that stopped on the burning candle once again shook off the flames on its body and flew back to Aiwass's shoulder.

The Lord of Scale Feather smacked his lips: "Whenever you go and kill Huan Tiansi, you will be able to catch me."

Aiwass responded casually: "I took note of it."

"Have I ever been such a strange person?"

"Oh yes, Aiwass."

"What's the matter, Lily?"

Aiwass did not look back, but asked directly.

He heard no footsteps the whole time. At this time, the person knocking on the door was either a ghost or Lily.

After coming back yesterday, Aiwass thought for a long time about whether to tell Lily herself about the fate she was carrying.

From a purely controllability perspective, it’s definitely better not to say anything. Once Lily starts to think wildly, things may change.

But Aiwass decided to respect Lily more.

Let's not mention the "little lamb Selene" who has no human intelligence, but Aiwass does not just regard Lily as his personal maid... To be honest, with Aiwass's identity, he has not needed it for a long time. The service and protection of a personal maid. He still took Lily with him, just because Lily stubbornly recognized this identity and was unwilling to leave Aiwass.

To him, Lily was a close friend who was almost a relative, almost an elder. Although part of Aiwass's memory was confused, and the things his sister Freya had done were transferred to Lily... But even so, Lily was still Aiwass. Someone whom Wentz trusted very much.

Just the same level of trust as Yulia and Edward.

Therefore, Aiwass decided not to make decisions for Lily, not to make decisions for her... but to directly tell her the truth.

Including the identity of the son of the beast, including her animalistic instincts, including the crisis that Gray Tiansi may take away her body at any time. As well as Aiwass getting the letter of introduction and preparing to go to Star Antimony to help her solve the problem - these things were all told to Lily.

And Lily was much calmer than Aiwass thought.

Because Lily is very smart.

As a personal maid, just by using the knowledge gained from reading books in her spare time, she can directly and seamlessly connect to the knowledge of the university class without falling behind... This is enough to prove her intelligence and excellence.

Lily had actually guessed most of it from the moment Cardinal Cyril pushed her and Selene away from Aiwass.

——And the result was even better than she imagined.

At least Aiwass would not abandon her, nor would he let her receive a seal or "treatment".

Lily is actually ready to give up her power...but if possible, she still hopes that she can continue to retain her extraordinary abilities.

At the beginning, she hoped that she could obtain extraordinary power because she wanted to help and protect Aiwass. She hoped that she would be useful to Aiwass... At that time, she was even so extreme that she regarded herself as an emotionless tool.

But now, she wants to continue to retain her extraordinary abilities...largely because she wants to do so. Just as she longed to study back then, now Lily also wants to be able to seize her own destiny - when she learned that she was selected by Gray Tiansi, Lily felt a strong feeling of being bound by fate.

Only by having your own power can you determine your own destiny.

She doesn't want to give up. Instead, he planned to cooperate with Aiwass' plan and continue to walk forward and take a look.

Frankness and respect earned both of them a sigh of relief - after knowing the specific source of the disaster, Lily became much more determined.

——As for her murderous nature, Lily accepted and admitted it very calmly.

Obviously, Lily had already noticed something was wrong with her long before Aiwass mentioned this. Not only was she aware of her animalistic consciousness, she even independently developed the technique of suppressing instincts by adapting to the path.

Now that Lily has been separated into two bodies, she no longer has such strong killing intent. But this desire for destruction and murder did not disappear, but was completely transferred to Selene.

Selene's sheep eyes are proof that she is the child of the beast.

Aiwass was also very pleased after learning that Lily was determined to fight against Gray Tiansi to the end.

What he was most afraid of was Lily giving up on herself and coming up with some weird ideas, or giving up on her random thoughts. Just like an old man who has been hospitalized for a long time, thinking "not to cause trouble to his children" and starting to work hard, may actually cause even greater trouble.

But now, Lily has a firm will to live and is willing to fully cooperate with Aiwass' plan according to her own wishes - this is enough.

In a sense, Lily at this moment is finally regarded as Aiwass's companion, instead of his servant or his little maid.
