Shepherd Tantra

Chapter 778: Is my mentor so prestigious?

When Christina woke up again from a nightmare that she quickly forgot, she was a little afraid to open her eyes.

Because she was a little afraid that once she opened her eyes, she would see something horrible that she shouldn't see...

Although she had prepared herself mentally and knew that the atmosphere in the psychic tower must be quite dark - but this was too dark!

[It’s really useless]

The little girl's sarcastic voice echoed in her heart with the sound of wind:
[To be frightened like this...]

It was clearly the voice of a little girl, but her tone was as mature as that of an adult.

"——What do you mean by 'this kind of thing'? If you show this to ordinary people, at least eight or nine out of ten people will be scared!"

Christina argued in her heart.

After getting to know Alice, she wasn't so afraid of her anymore.

So, do you consider yourself an ordinary person?

Alice's laughter was as loud as a silver bell: [You...want to be an ordinary person? ]

For a moment, Christina was silent.

I do not.

She said in her mind.

Then, she suddenly opened her eyes, prepared to see a ghost.

As a result, Christina unexpectedly saw a room decoration with a very girlish style.

Purple tulle reminiscent of grapes decorated the corners and blocked the view. The curtains were decorated with many winding green vines, and many silver wind chimes hung from the ceiling. She was lying on a soft bed, not on a horrible dismemberment table stained with blood and oil. A huge brown bear-shaped doll, almost as tall as herself, was pressing on her body, which might be the source of her suffocation and nightmares.

Suddenly, Christina felt her body lighten, and she could breathe more easily - the teddy bear had been taken away.

"She's awake."

Aurora's cold and emotionless voice sounded slowly.

She was the one who took the teddy bear away. Judging from her pajamas and the color of the curtains in the room, this might be her bedroom. Similarly, she might have been the one who covered her with the teddy bear before...

Aurora was a student mentor assigned by the Spiritual Tower. Christina still remembered this very cute but cold girl. It was said that she was a genius of the fourth energy level... and she looked even younger than herself. This made Christina envious and respectful.

Christina had just arrived at the Ziggurat for a little over a day and she didn't sleep well last night.

Logically speaking, with Alice protecting her, she shouldn't be so scared. But not long after she arrived, several ghosts that looked like little girls floated over and took Alice away from her body to play. After all, Alice was just a little girl less than half the height of an adult, and it was rare for her to meet her own kind... Although she was a fifth-level evil spirit, she was still taken out to play by other ghosts and returned only when it was almost dawn.

——How irresponsible!

Christina said viciously in her heart.

Alice snorted guiltily and didn't dare to respond further.

Ever since her soul was photographed, Christina has had complete clairvoyance - she can easily see a ghost coming through the wall from time to time to look at her curiously, which makes her always feel as if she is being spied on.

Christina is not yet familiar with the lifestyle of living with ghosts.

If she could regard these ghosts as something objective, like the wild "seniors" in other schools, rather than some untouchable scary spirits, she would not be so scared, and could even chat and play with these friendly ghosts. But she obviously couldn't... because when she saw these ghosts approaching her, she would get hairy all over, get nervous, and then scream.

But at the same time, she couldn't completely regard them as something unreal, so she always felt as if she was being spied on and that "someone" would break into her dormitory at any time... and at this moment, they seemed to be real in her heart.

I feel that they exist and they don't exist at the same time. I am afraid of them as ghosts, but I also fear them as people.

This made Christina feel creepy the whole night... It was rare to be frightened to the point of passing out, but this was a chance for her to catch up on some sleep.

She didn't know how long she had slept, but she was already hungry.

but……

Christina looked at Aurora who effortlessly carried the giant stuffed bear away, and was a little confused for a moment. She always felt that there was something wrong...

"--Hello."

At this moment, a calm young man's voice sounded. When Christina heard this voice, she knew it was a very standard voice of a "good boy" and "excellent student"... She knew he must be very smart.

This was the last sound she heard before she passed out.

However, the voice was no longer coming from a head with eyes wide open, but from a handsome young man wearing a dark wizard robe, with a gentle and calm demeanor. He perfectly fits Christina's image of a "handsome necromancer" - handsome but with a cold temperament, and with just the right amount of dark circles under his eyes and pale face, he looks like a dark beauty with smoky makeup...

You can even get dark circles under your eyes, are you a genius?

Christina sighed in her heart.

Because she was mentally prepared this time - and because of Alice's provocation, Christina was not so scared.

In fact, she fainted before because she was too weak mentally after being watched by ghosts coming and going all night. It was mainly because when she was having breakfast, Aurora came over and gave her a finger, asking her to follow after breakfast...but she didn't recognize the various signs on the wall at all, so she walked in without any psychological preparation.

Now that I think about it, it should be a laboratory or a classroom. Having so many limbs should not be surprising to a necromancer...

...Not surprising, probably. "Hello," Christina replied hesitantly, "Excuse me, was I dazzled before..."

"No, it was just an accident."

The dead-faced young man replied, "I'm very sorry about that."

You said that, but your expression didn't seem to be very apologetic... you looked quite proud. Do you want me to praise you?

Christina muttered to herself.

"...That thing is really amazing."

She smiled against her will and gave vague compliments.

I'll praise you because you're handsome...

"Right!"

The young man's eyes lit up and he spoke faster. "I made a lot of prototypes at first, from a humanoid undead with six arms, to one with hands on its head, and then one with hands on its legs. Then I wanted to plant them in the ground and grow them as flowers... This idea actually feels good. I took notes and maybe I can recycle them later. One of the main reasons for not going ahead is that a 'cluster of hands' can't actually grow several arms. When they grow up, they will block the sunlight from the leaves. But if the part that absorbs sunlight is concentrated on the skin, there may be unknown risks when transplanted to the human body. Maybe if there is a botanist who cooperates with me, we can study the plan of growing internal organs on trees... Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Albert Lore, you may have heard of me."

...What are you talking about? It seems very powerful, but also very abnormal...

Christina felt a little dizzy, as her brain filtered out the part that she felt was not right but that she should not continue to ask. But she clearly heard and understood the last sentence.

"You are that Albert Lowrey!"

She was shocked.

The young master of the Lore family can be said to be the biggest star in the world, especially in Leipzig!
At the age of ten, before entering the supernatural realm, he was already able to spontaneously revive the dead by crying; at the age of sixteen, having become a supernatural being for more than two years, he was already able to repair and transform spirits without the aid of tools; at the age of eighteen, he had independently created thirty-six unprecedented new types of stitched corpses, eight of which are still too advanced to be released to the public; at the age of twenty-five, he reached the fourth energy level of the dual path… It can be said that he is a "natural great man" who has the opportunity to reach the fifth energy level before the age of thirty, and the fifth energy level of the dual path before the age of forty.

He is undoubtedly the most powerful candidate for the next Black Phase!
When he first entered university, he was personally awarded the medal of honorary lord, territory and manor by the king for his contribution to the field of suturing corpses; he was publicly commended by the Minister of War and awarded the rank of lieutenant without ever having been on the battlefield for a single day. Now, before he has even graduated from university, he has joined the national-level alchemy workshop "Xing Antimony Laboratory" in advance and served as a leader...

In order to protect him, the specific appearance of this genius necromancer was not reported. There are no photos or personal information about him in the public, and they cannot even be bought on the black market.

If it weren't for the fact that Aiwass of Avalon has now become the Eternal Pope... many people in the planet believe that Albert Lore is better than Aiwass Moriarty of Avalon, and is the strongest and most talented extraordinary person of the younger generation! He is also the so-called "future of the planet"!
——Shouldn’t he be in the “Xingti Laboratory” now, working on the research and development of confidential projects?

One of Christina's seniors once boasted to her, "Albert Lore's ongoing project can reverse the current situation where Star Antimony is unilaterally suppressed by Avalon. If it goes well, Star Antimony will have the opportunity to launch an extremely fierce counterattack against Avalon." His family is engaged in the smuggling business against Avalon, so the information in this regard should be accurate.

But...how did he return to the Ziggurat? Was the project bankrupt now?
etc--

Christina suddenly remembered that her "student mentor" Aurora hugged Lore's head affectionately yesterday. If we exclude the horror stories like "leading the charge", then... could they be that kind of relationship?

My mentor actually knows that legendary figure?!
Christina was overjoyed.

In her opinion, the genius Luo Lei is undoubtedly a great man of the same level as Earl Dawn. Although he is not yet at the fifth level, that is only temporary. In the future, he will definitely surpass the other party...

And she almost sold herself to Earl Dawn for a month for a little money - she was even afraid that she would sell her soul in the end. And in front of Earl Dawn, she was not even considered a person.

Now she has the opportunity to be associated with this great man who can shake the stars, will definitely be in power in the future, and even has the opportunity to ascend to the dream world and become a god. This is really thanks to Miss Aleister!
Just as Christina was thinking this, Albert asked hesitantly, "I heard... you are Aleister's man?"

"……Why?"

She was stunned for a moment: "Do you also... know my mentor?"

Even a big shot like Albert knew that respected adult?
Who is she?

"tutor?"

Albert was shocked when he heard this.

He quickly exchanged a glance with Aurora, and then realized something: "You were resurrected by her personally?"

——Can you even tell that I was resurrected? !
Christina was shocked.

Things like resurrection...she thought it was some kind of unspeakable taboo.

But at this moment, Christina felt her body suddenly get cold and her skin tightened, which was a sign that Alice in her body was controlling her body.

When Alice came over, her pupils were suddenly covered with a dim yellow color and became lifeless.

"——When you were unconscious this morning, I was the one who controlled your body and sent you here. Otherwise, do you want to be carried here by a bloody stitched corpse?"

Alice said softly: "At that time, they already knew that you were a resurrected corpse... But speaking of this."

Christina frowned slightly and looked at Albert: "I seem to have seen you somewhere. Are you the one with the 'ban'..."

"'Stranger', sir. 'Prohibition' is the Count of Leipzig..."

Christina watched as Albert placed his right hand on his chest and bowed to her very seriously: "I am honored to see you again."

--What?

Is my tutor so prestigious?

Christina, who had no idea who "Aleister" was, was stunned.
