Shepherd Tantra

Chapter 785: It still depends on salary
Aleister is now high in the sky.

After receiving the news from the little crow, Aleister planned to rush to the Ziggurat by car. But she unexpectedly discovered a huge advantage of her child——

——Leviathan can fly as soon as it is born!

Although the load capacity is not high enough, the speed is quite fast!

Therefore, this time, Aleister couldn't bring anyone with him... He could only leave Selene and the honey badger here. He transformed back into Aleister's original form, took the Night Demon and rode on Leviathan, preparing to go to the Ziggurat to ask for someone.

Alice's meaning was very clear - the other party was planning to leave, but someone was unwilling to let him go. Therefore, they took the initiative to invite Aleister over for a chat, intending to use Pope Aiwass to put some pressure on him.

Even Aleister himself didn't expect that the bait he casually threw out could be reeled in so quickly.

In fact, she never expected Christina to do anything for her, nor did she really put all her hopes on Christina and hope that she would help her recruit people.

Aiwas originally came from a human resources background, and he knew what qualities were needed in this line of work—a dark heart, a cruel heart, and a lot of tricks. Aleister also knew that with Christina's simplicity, it would be good enough if she didn't get fooled.

The main reason why Aleister recommended Christina to learn necromancy was because she was really talented in this area.

Of course, Aleister also knew that Christina's level in the Path of Balance must be too low. As a civilian alchemist, without sponsorship, it would be difficult for an alchemist to even pass the promotion ceremony.

On the other hand, if she really had talent, she would have found a sponsor long ago. After all, this is the city of knowledge, Leipzig.

The reason why Count Leipzig was able to form this world-renowned team of extraordinary people was because of his good reputation for being willing to give money and sponsorship. A sponsor who is willing to pay, does not need to be named on the results, does not care about the rate of return, and does not interfere with the research direction is simply an angel that scholars can only meet by chance.

His grants could not possibly cover all scholars, and he could not be the only rich man in the entire city.

After all, Valentine I was a great alchemist. In Star Antimony, alchemy was a very noble art.

You can look down on necromancy, think that demonologists are cruel and evil, think that the extraordinary people on the path of love are crazy, and even think that the Children of the Moon are simply aliens who are parasitic on society... But alchemy is the only thing that cannot accept any discrimination, and studying alchemy is absolutely politically correct.

In this environment, nobles whose children were not good at alchemy would basically support several alchemy groups to show their strong support for alchemy. The academic level, scientific research results and level of the path of balance of these alchemists would become the content of boasting at the noble banquets.

In a sense, this is also a kind of Pokémon battle. Those talented children simply cannot wait until graduation, as their mentors will sell their personal information to others and they will be spotted by wealthy people with connections.

And Christina hasn't even reached the second level... Regardless of whether it's due to lack of money, it shows that there must be something wrong with her talent in the path of balance.

On the contrary, it was the Path of Dusk. As a person who had been resurrected from the dead, she was naturally friendly to the Path of Dusk. She could at least be promoted to the third level.

The fourth level of extraordinary ability is a qualitative change. If you don't have talent, even if you have full knowledge of mystical knowledge and read books every day, you can't reach the full level. It's impossible to advance by luck. Not to mention that the third to fourth level is already life-threatening.

From this perspective, the third energy level is the ceiling that mortals can reach. According to the academic world on Earth, it is almost equivalent to the level of a doctoral student - even the worst doctor will be respected and called an expert; and if you want to go further, it is not something that can be achieved by hard work alone.

Aleister was willing to show her this path because of Alice. Although Christina needed Alice to bond her soul, Alice also needed a body that could accommodate the power of dusk in order to parasitize outside.

Alice is not a wandering spirit, but a ground-bound spirit. Without an "anchor", she cannot exist independently.

This is the same as when parents treat their children's spouse well after they get married, hoping that the other party's parents will treat their children well. In addition, Christina is indeed unlucky, which has aroused Aleister's sympathy.

...Unexpectedly, Christina really gave Aleister a big surprise.

On her first day at the Ziggurat, she recruited two talented people for Aleister.

Albert Lore, and Aurora von Goethe.

Aleister was very familiar with the former... He was born into a family of necromancy and was the inventor of the armed gargoyle. His grandfather's grandfather was the second generation Black Phase of Xingti, the chief disciple of the first generation Black Phase.

In later versions, he is the professional mentor of the Necromancer, and also the first Black Phase after the reconstruction of the Star. He is considered the local protagonist of the Star, and his status in the plot is equivalent to that of the Pure White Saint. The latter is even more important.

——Because her grandmother's biological brother is now an apostle of the Twin Mirror; and although she herself was born into a noble family, her entire family was killed by the Son of the Moon, and she has been working all her life to find the murderer and seek revenge.

The murderer nearly killed her as well, but she managed to survive by hiding in the belly of a stitched corpse and trying her best to conceal her breathing and heartbeat.

She didn't dare to come out after that, and relied on eating the flesh and blood of corpses to supplement the necessary nutrition... until the stitched corpse rotted and smelled, and she was almost unconscious, she was found by the police who were investigating the scene.

It can be said that she is a girl who has a strong sense of being the protagonist.

Later, she completed her revenge and became the student of Master Chongbo. After Master Chongbo became the carrier of Lingbo Tiansi, she became the only person in the world who mastered the art of non-destructive resurrection.

In the original plot of the game, Aiwass preserved Yulia's soul in order to find the legendary Master of Amber and resurrect Yulia.

As long as he can be found and provided with a large portion of the deceased's soul, he is willing to help people complete the resurrection ceremony. His resurrection can fill the missing soul; if a complete soul can be provided, he can also perform a lossless resurrection.

But it's very difficult.

Master "Chongbo" is an imperial man, born in the 15th century, and older than the entire Star Antimony... He is the same age as the first generation Black Phase, and the two are considered friends.

Back then, he was inspired by the Path of Beauty and became the world's first amber craftsman. He has survived to this day thanks to the life-extending power of the Path of Dusk.

Now he hides his identity and lives quietly in Xingtan as an ordinary preservationist. Only the fifth-level extraordinary people who are in the path of adaptation or the path of beauty can sense his existence.

Moreover, the mentor of these two talents recruited by Christina is Count Fernando Brunswick Jr. He is a fifth-level extraordinary person and the dean of the first department of the Psychic Tower. He is also an honorary colonel of the Ministry of the Army and deputy minister of the Star Antimony Railway Department. He is one of Avalon's most vigilant enemies.

It can be said that Count Brunswick is the most powerful person in the entire Ziggurat except for the Black Phase!
And the contemporary Black Phase is his mentor!
Aleister vaguely remembered that he had even become the next Black Phase - but unfortunately, he encountered the worst of times.

Before he could show his strength, he was killed by the Fallen Angel himself. The reason why Aleister remembered him was because he was the combat cushion used to highlight the oppression of the Fallen Angel in the new version of the expansion pack.

No matter in terms of strength, social relations, political status or degree of unlucky, he is equal to the Great Guardian of Avalon - just as the last version's loading CG was the Great Guardian's death charge, the next version's loading CG will feature him as the protagonist.

All kinds of high-level undead were surrounding him, and dense runes and magic arrays were flashing in the air - and a black lightning bolt easily pierced through a large number of barriers, undead and shields, then rushed over and pierced his chest with a sword, making a huge thunderous sound that would make people immediately turn down the volume of their headphones.

The next scene showed Count Brunswick's frail body being lifted high up by the Fallen Angel's sword.

Aleister was not very clear about the rest of the story, because at the latest he had already gone in. If the internet speed was faster and there was a solid-state drive, he could try to rescue the vice-principal... maybe he could get in before he was pierced through the chest.

The future local protagonist of Xingti, the world's only heir to the resurrection technique, a powerful enemy who could be killed by the Fallen Angels after traveling a long way personally - he could even be considered an assassin.

With these three masters and apprentices, all the high-value targets in the entire Spiritual Tower have been taken away by Aleister!
"It still has to be salary driven, brothers!"

Riding on this shark dragon, Aleister exclaimed.

If you pay more, even the bait for fishing will automatically catch fish...

……and many more.

Speaking of fully automatic baits…

Aleister suddenly fell into deep thought.

...Could it be that the Lord of Scales and Feathers also sees himself in this way?
