Chapter 817 Aleister's Lies and Plans

Chapter 817 Aleister's Lies and Plans
Although the fall of the first generation Hong Xiang could be said to have nothing to do with himself.

But Christina still felt a strong excitement, pride and a strong sense of identity.

——This is my backstage, it’s really amazing! Do you have such a backstage?

After Aleister left, Christina excitedly discussed with the other students how great Aleister was and how powerful she was to be able to defeat the first Red Phase.

There seemed to be stars twinkling in her eyes and her words were almost fanatical.

It's like a believer.

On the other hand, hearing that Aleister wanted to eat something, Adolf, who was a little nervous, wanted to take Aleister to Leipzig to eat something good. The old lich was concentrating on finishing the experimental ritual.

Although the lord of Leipzig was frozen in a natural refrigerator on the top of the psychic tower, this did not affect their trip to Leipzig.

To be honest, Leipzig is of quite high standard as a tourist city.

It was obvious that Adolf, as the vice-president, was not very confident about the quality of the canteen at the Spirit Tower.

Of course, there must be a cafeteria in the Psychic Tower.

After all, it’s the Academy of the Undead, and that doesn’t mean all the students are undead.

Aleister still remembered that during the promotion ceremony... when Aiwass and Bayard sneaked out of the Arc Moon Manor to eat, they ran into many students from the Spiritual Tower who had just finished their evening classes.

It seemed to be around 9 to 11 o'clock in the evening. A large group of young necromancer apprentices wearing dead leaf robes came out hungry to look for food. It was obvious that the pressure of schoolwork was still quite great.

At that time, the Spiritual Tower was still in the city center, and at least the snack street in front of the school gate still existed.

The psychic tower is now located in the suburbs, or even in the mountains. It takes Aleister more than half an hour to fly from the center of Leipzig on Leviathan. The nearest place to live is the small fishing village that is part-time as a port.

But let’s not talk about what delicious food and fun things there are to do there. Just taking a trip through the mountains... if you walk, it will take at least two or three hours to go there and back.

Through this kind of isolated and boring life like that of a monk, students' affinity for the twilight path can also be cultivated.

When the students' mood becomes calm every day, they no longer feel itchy, nor do they want to go out for adventure or fun, they can't feel the passage of time at all, and they don't have those worldly desires, and they even want to just muddle through their lives... Having this degree of twilight affinity is almost enough to be promoted to the third level.

But Aleister rejected Adolf's friendly proposal - although the students of the Path of Love were all gourmets with a strong appetite and were picky. But she actually just wanted to find an excuse to get closer to the students.

The leaders came to inspect the school.

But surprisingly, the food in this cafeteria is quite good.

There were seven or eight kinds of smoked and grilled sausages, fried pork chops, beef rolls, sauerkraut pork elbows, barbecue, fried meat patties and sweet biscuits, all of which were placed in the ritual array to provide a constant temperature. There was also vinegar-braised beef, beef meatballs, and braised lamb that had been simmering in the pot...

——Meat, meat, meat, meat. At a glance, the whole restaurant is full of meat except for the bread!

This is much better than what the Avalon people eat!!
Aleister was almost moved to tears.

If only I could have another bowl of rice...

There was even a moment when I thought about asking Aiwass to come over and eat for a few days.

These days she has been staying at Prince Szijjártó's manor, where the food tastes pretty good. But in fact, it is closer to the style of Iris, delicate and beautiful. It is similar to the food that Aiwass had in the Palace of Silver and Tin - dinner has about twelve or thirteen courses, and more than ten of them are Iris dishes.

Even the Star Bistro in Avalon, Aleister always felt that it lacked flavor. The taste was quite bland and the portions were not large.

“The meat is all fresh…”

Adolf looked at Aleister and quickly explained, "It's really the meat of pigs, cows and sheep..."

He was a little worried that Aleister would regard the meat as the output of the "assistants".

"...It looks pretty good," Aleister praised, "I like it very much.

"But...what about the nutritional balance of the students? And why are there so much meat here, but the children are still so thin?"

Aleister chose the dishes and found a table to sit down. Many students who came with her also took a few dishes at random, and their appetite was so small that Aleister even suspected that they were losing weight.

Aleister hadn't seen many fat students along the way.

On the contrary, there are quite a few students who are extremely skinny and suspected of having anorexia.

But as soon as she asked this question, she felt as if she had really become a leader coming to visit.

But thinking about it carefully, this is not a big problem - because Aleister originally wanted to move the Ziggurat to Avalon. When the Ziggurat is built, Aiwass can really be regarded as their direct leader.

"Ah, about this..."

Adolf smiled helplessly, sat opposite Aleister and explained softly.

The Spirit Tower is a specialized academy for necromancers. Although it is also one of the four major forces in Xingtan, there are no extraordinary people on the path of love here.

The extraordinary people on the path of dusk value having no desires and being incredibly lazy.

Although there is a free cafeteria here, students are too lazy to come to eat unless necessary. Just drink some "No. 1" and "No. 2" and you will basically be full. The life-extending function of "No. 2" can also prevent the decline of health level caused by not eating for a long time, at least you won't starve to death easily.

——If you are not lazy enough, it usually means that your adaptability to the evening path is not high enough.

"So generally speaking, not many people come here to eat?"

Aleister was a little surprised: "It tastes so good..."

Is it so wasteful?

"It's okay. There are preservation techniques."

Adolf answered briskly, "Whether it's finished food or fresh ingredients, you can use preservation techniques to maintain their condition. As for nutrition... you just need to take the mixture regularly."

"The preservation technique is really useful..."

Aleister exclaimed.

There are too few excellent conservators in Avalon. When Aiwass wanted to preserve the painting, it took a week to find someone to do it. Not to mention the "wasteful" use of food preservation.

But in Xingti, the cost of a preservation spell is even cheaper than a pot of stew.

Is this the effect of the popularization of supernatural powers in society...

Adolf continued, "Because recently the alchemists have been oppressing the botanists more and more harshly... As a result, the botanists who rely on the Alchemy Association for survival need to provide more and more alchemical materials every month. This has actually squeezed the vegetable production in disguise, after all, vegetables and potion materials are produced from the same field. In big cities, the price of vegetables will also rise due to the rise in alchemical materials.

"In addition, grain is an important export profit item and one of the few stable profit-making means for Xingti. Therefore, grain production is essential... These reasons have led to the high price of vegetables in Xingti. Basically, farmers have set aside a piece of land outside their wheat fields and grow their own food.

"After all, the difficulty of preserving vegetables is much greater than that of preserving meat - I think this is also an important reason."

"……why is that?"

Aleister, who was eating, looked up in surprise: "Is preservation more difficult to use on plants?"

She had never heard of this term before.

"I know……"

Just then, Aurora came over quietly: "I want to say something."

She had just been holding Albert tightly from a distance... and she was relieved to see that what Aleister was eating was actually human food. After all, the reputation of the Moon Child in Xingtan was not very good.

Previously, no one dared to show it because of the pressure from the red phase. But it will be different in the future...

When Vice Principal Adolf saw Aurora and Albert coming over, he understood why they came.

It must have something to do with their mentor, Fernando Brunswick Jr.

After all, Fernando Brunswick Jr. was Adolf's student, and Adolf was also concerned about how to solve his problem.

So he introduced Aleister enthusiastically: "This is Aurora von Goethe... and this is Albert Lore. They are both my disciples' disciples, and they can be considered my grandchildren. These two children are geniuses who have reached the fourth energy level at a young age... Albert is just in his early twenties, and Aurora is less than twenty years old. They are the future of our Psychic Tower."

——You may not believe it, but I’m only eighteen years old.

Aleister thought to himself, looking at the two people.

Aurora's beauty even amazed her - her beauty was like that of a platinum doll, and her lifeless look had an unusual beauty to it.

That feeling... if I had to describe it, it would be "not like a living person". She gave people the feeling of a 3D model. If she was still, people would think she was a delicate one-to-one figurine.

Is this the future successor to Master Chongbo?
And the other one...maybe he is a true genius.

Albert Lore - the inventor of the armed gargoyles and future Star Antimony Dark Phase.

He looked a bit like a depressed Harry Potter... or a programmer who had been working overtime and didn't sleep well for a month, which formed a sharp contrast with the girl next to him. Although he looked like he was about to die suddenly at any time, it could be seen that his appearance was handsome.

Aleister gave them a friendly smile: "Hello, both of you... Then Miss Goethe, why is this?"

Aurora's pupils trembled violently when Aleister named her.

But her expression and voice did not change at all, and she said softly: "Because plants are still alive. And if you want to preserve living things with preservation techniques... it will be very difficult."

"Alive..."

Aleister was thoughtful.

That's true... Even if the vegetables are taken out of the ground, they can still continue to reproduce. From a certain perspective, they may not have completely died before they were blanched.

Whether it is meat, corpses, works of art, or buildings, they have no "life", so the preservation technique is much easier to perform.

"The preservation technique that rescued the students earlier...was it used by the principal?"

"It was me. I cast a preservation spell on living things to save them from 'dangerous situations'. I used this method to teleport the children to me."

Adolf, the contemporary Black Phase, replied, "The preservation technique that protected the entire Ziggurat and separated it from the world was the principal's."

"If you use the preservation technique on a living person..."

Aurora whispered, "It can also turn dying people into stone statues, thus pausing the 'death process'. It can also save people."

"It is like this, honorable Miss Aleister..."

Albert had learned Aleister's name from Christina before, so he asked directly: "Our mentor...nearly died in the previous promotion ceremony. Aurora and I saved his soul.

"But he's still in a 'dying' state, and I just heard your prayers... included Aiwass.

"Excuse me, is this the 'Pope' Aiwass?"

"Yes."

Aleister smiled and nodded slightly.

She didn't have the level to pray, so it was useless to pray. She said this because she wanted to spread the news - others might not understand, but in the Spiritual Tower where the Ghoul Priest was the first promotion profession, students generally had some knowledge of divine arts.

Albert was relieved, and continued, "I also wanted to become a ghoul priest, so I studied prayer for a while. Although I am not very familiar with prayer, I remember that 'please' should be the phrase used to address the celestial minister. Even the apostles are not qualified to use this kind of prayer call...

"…But you have indeed borrowed divine power. Is this because…the power of His Holiness the Pope has transcended the material world?"

"--Yes."

Aleister smiled, nodded and said: "I am not a 'perfect man'. This sacred power is the miracle he gave me. Without Aiwass's seal, I would definitely not be able to mobilize the power of a perfect man now."

This is the truth, but it is also a lie.

This is also one of Aleister's goals.

When she heard that Aiwas wanted to send the power of the church to help Xingtan survive the chaos... she had a vague idea, and now this idea has become clearer.

——She wanted to build faith in Aiwass.

Although Aiwass himself would not think so much, but for Aleister who has surpassed the incarnation... Aiwass will eventually ascend to the dream world.

It would be fine if he was an apostle, but to become a celestial minister, he must have his own believers in the material world.

Although neither the Pillar God nor the Celestial Master needed any "power of faith", after being promoted from an Apostle to a Celestial Master, they could no longer descend to the mortal world normally. They had to have their own spokespersons in the material world to expand and sublimate their own concepts.

If a celestial being is forgotten by everyone, even the concept he belongs to may be forgotten. If you want to expand the concept, it cannot be done from the dream world, it must be done in the material world.

That was why the Silver Crown Dragon had to establish his own path of authority in the material world... and only then could he rebel against the path of power in the dream world.

Originally, this could be considered a "fantasy". But now, it is getting closer to the "future" -

——[Kill the fifth-level extraordinary person and gain 4500 free experience].

The experience gained by the first generation Red Prime Minister was four times that of Earl Dawn.

Although they were both at the fifth energy level, their experiences were completely different...

Aleister herself was only at the fourth energy level, but with the help of external forces based on the way of transcendence, contracts and sins, she jumped one and a half energy levels and killed the first generation Red Phase, who was also considered a leader in the fifth energy level.

This is behavior that is in line with the Way of Transcendence.

The practice of this behavior made Aleister feel that he had touched the wall of the fifth energy level very clearly.

By investing a maximum of 2,000 experience points, she will be able to participate in the promotion ceremony at the end of this month!
And her current experience reserves are sufficient.

If everything goes well, she will be a true fifth-level transcendent next month.

By then, all she would have to deal with were the affairs of the Dream Realm, the Celestial Master, and the Pillar Gods... It wasn't too early to plan ahead for Aiwas's deification. It was even a little late.

"We want to rely on the power of the great and sacred Lord Aiwass to rescue our mentor..."

Albert said, "I am willing to pay any price for this."

"--Me too!"

Hearing that Albert only counted himself in the "price", Aurora hurried to follow.

And Aleister just smiled and nodded: "Okay."
