Shepherd Tantra

Chapter 842 Killing people and seizing treasures?
Aleister, in the form of a red fox, stood on a white horse, holding the staff left by the baboon in his mouth, fiddling with it while shaking his head.

Because it was too big for the fox, it would almost fall onto the white horse with a clang after holding it for a while.

"You like it so much?"

Bai Ma said helplessly, his voice steady and polite: "Because it is your trophy?"

“I always feel like it’s pretty strong…”

Aleister bit the baboon's staff horizontally, like a dog biting a bone, and murmured vaguely: "But it seems a little difficult to use..."

The white horse was somewhat helpless and could only continue to carry the fox on its back to assemble the army.

The fox kept stepping on his back and refused to come down even after being told. No one knew who was the king of this army...

On the other side, Aleister was concentrating on tinkering with something.

She had begun studying the staff ever since she had killed the baboon.

Thanks to the clown Lalo, who turned this ceremony into an open one at the beginning... When the identities of most people are revealed, who will benefit the most?
——Of course, they are those who have reached the stage of transcendence.

Whether it is a ritual or a curse, it is a "method of defeating the strong with the weak" that can only be fully utilized when there is preparation.

When the old wizard's true name was revealed - even if it was only a fragment of it, it was enough to effectively locate the curse.

Aleister let the Night Demon cast a curse on him, and then followed the traces of the curse and easily found the old wizard who was trying to remove the curse from him.

Theoretically speaking... in this promotion ceremony hosted by Sizhu, killing the opponent is useless because even if the opponent dies, he can still "complete the task".

This could very well result in the dead taking away your contribution points, or simply completing the task in the opposite direction, thus invalidating your task. Killing itself is not conducive to victory, but will increase the difficulty.

——But so what?

Just let him do the mission.

Anyway, if he can really complete the task after his death, then he is awesome.

Aleister thought.

The real reason why she had to kill the old wizard was simple... because Aleister knew that her brain was not that good.

Perhaps it was because when the sand clock was cut, more intelligence was cut to Aiwas. This caused Aleister's thinking and planning abilities to decline significantly. Now Aleister's thinking ability is more focused on conspiracy and trickery.

The old wizard was too smart. If he cooperated with her, she might be used by him. But if she let him go, she might let him cooperate with someone else. After all, he was a transcendent from the wizard Tako class, and he might have a deep understanding of the promotion ceremony. A transcendent who could advance from the fourth to the fifth level could not be a complete fool. Maybe one of his words inspired another person?
Aleister also has Aiwass's theological knowledge - so she also knows that Sizhu is very concerned about the number "three". There are three paintings here, each with three endings, so the number of promoted people in each painting should also be three.

Aleister, with his Night Demon, is undoubtedly the most powerful being in this painting.

——In order to prevent the world of this painting from becoming a chaotic situation like the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Aleister must eradicate the possibility of cooperation between the remaining two people.

She killed the old wizard not to eliminate him, but to eliminate another person... because the living cannot hear the voice of the dead. In this way, Aleister completely separated the other two people without wanting to hear the old wizard's voice.

She did not intend to kill the remaining person, and she believed that the other person would not commit suicide before meeting the two of them.

Since death is not real death in this promotion ceremony...it is better to regard "killing" as "imprisonment" and "isolation". One life and one death can just block the two people and prevent them from completing their cooperation.

The sacred number is three... This number is really too clever.

But since we have killed the old mage, we might as well pick up his equipment -

Only hand-made supernatural items can be brought into the promotion ceremony, such as the alchemist's potion, the magician's weapon, and the botanist's seed. After all, some supernaturals are good at creation. If they are not allowed to bring props, it will be too unfair, so that the promotions of the nine paths cannot be balanced at all.

Just like Aleister's Phantom Card... Although it is a phantom summoned out of thin air, in a sense it is also an "item".

And this staff...

Aleister recognized a key.

The gem inlaid on it, if it is not a fake... is very likely the [Tetrahedron of Fire].

[Fire Tetrahedron], [Earth Hexahedron], [Wind Octahedron], [Water Icosahedron], plus [Ether Dodecahedron] which represents the two attributes of light and darkness, the essence of these five special crystals is actually the fragments of the Geometry Celestial Being.

The Geometry God only kept the core [Dodecahedron], and actively scattered the remaining four polyhedrons into the material world, using these polyhedrons to collect the earth, fire, water and wind of the material world for a long time. They usually only appear in the hands of very smart scientists or scholars.

——This is exactly the path to promotion for Geometry Tiansi.

If he wanted to be promoted to the Pillar God, the power he already possessed was not enough. So he had long ago chosen to disperse his power and fell into a long sleep in the dream world, using the scattered fragments of the Celestial Master to recruit apostles and accumulate strength.

This is also the only fragment of Tiansi that can be obtained in the material world at present - if you can collect the remaining four polyhedrons, it is equivalent to obtaining four-fifths of the Tiansi fragments.

The only problem is that these polyhedrons repel each other. Before obtaining the [regular dodecahedron], they cannot be brought close together, otherwise they will immediately teleport themselves to a distant random location; if they are forced to gather together, a strong explosion will occur. And each crystal contains one-fifth of the power of Geometric Celestial Being.

The old wizard may not know its true origin and value, but he must know that it is very precious.

This wizard apparently discovered the characteristics of the staff: "it will instantly escape once it encounters other polyhedrons" and "it will disappear once it is used by people with insufficient intelligence." Therefore, he treasured the staff and placed heavy seals and constraints on it to prevent others from using it.

But this also constrained its power... Otherwise, this would be equivalent to the magic damage of a strike from the Celestial Master, and the Night Demon's magic resistance was not enough to resist. That was the Celestial Master of the Path of Wisdom, especially the Celestial Master of Geometry - He was best at elemental magic.

This is real good stuff.

Although Aiwass and Aleister are probably not worthy of it, Sherlock might have a chance to use it.

Originally, Aleister planned to take a look at its specific properties first.

But the seal seemed so effective that Aleister couldn't see its properties at all.

Then it would be better to go directly to the material world.

——Since he had this staff during the ascension ceremony, it means that he must have it in the material world as well!
As long as he died in the promotion ceremony, it meant that... in the material world, it would become the "relics" of the old wizard, and perhaps it would be easy to get it.

If Sherlock can use this staff, I can give it to him; if he doesn't like it very much, I can dig out the gems inside and use them as food for the Flame Butterfly.

Although Aleister didn't like the Flame Butterfly very much - maybe it was jealousy, or maybe something else.

As the only beast of sin that can participate in the Aiwass Dedication Path Promotion Ceremony, and the only summoned beast that has not reached the sixth energy level and is not bound by the Sand Clock, the Flame-Butterfly of Perverse is somewhat special. Because of this... Aleister never called her "Liya", but only called her "Flame-Butterfly of Perverse", calling her a future colleague.

Leah is the name given by Aiwass. What does it have to do with me?
But if it's for Aiwas, you can also find a way to strengthen the Flame Butterfly...

Aiwass certainly wouldn't do such a thing as killing people and stealing treasure, so I have to take the blame for him.

Aleister thought seriously.

If the Beast of Sin wants to evolve to its complete form, it needs fragments of the Celestial Master with corresponding attributes.

It doesn't matter if it's strong or weak, the key is the law of justice - in the game, a new entry is enchanted for the beast of sin with the corresponding attribute. This entry usually corresponds to the key skill of the Heavenly Officer. Anyway, it can be covered if it doesn't work in the later stage.

For example, if the Flame Demon gets the Crown of Candle Sky, then its fire damage will also add an equal amount of healing to teammates; and if the Flame Demon gets the Crown of Xi Tiansi, the skill range will be greatly increased, and it will gain extremely strong fire and light penetration and light attribute damage.

The Fallen Angels were about to descend... Aleister was becoming increasingly nervous.

In the game, that is the first challenge copy of eight-player and high-difficulty twenty-five-player.

But in reality, there is only one Aiwass. And the Fallen Angel is not a fool, nor is he a dungeon boss whose memory will be cleared. If he fails to win the first time... He will be prepared when Aiwass comes again.

You only get one chance.

That was the first battle between the Fallen Angels who looked down on Aiwass due to his "arrogance".

When two people meet, one of them must die.

If Aiwass fails, he will die completely...According to Aiwass's character, if self-sacrifice is useful, he will sacrifice for others without hesitation.

Aleister could not accept such a result.

If Aiwass means absolute selflessness, then Aleister is absolutely selfish——

The staff of the "Pelican" gave Aleister a reminder.

As a four-attribute celestial master, the fragments of Geometry Celestial Master itself can be regarded as four-attribute celestial masters at the same time.

So if I cut it into pieces...can I eat it four times?

Since "Pelican" has done extensive research on the fragments of the Geometry God, he probably also has information and data on other geometric bodies.

Aleister remembered that the fragments representing "wind" should be in the ancient Parthia, and the fragments representing "water" should be in a relic, which could be dug up during archaeological excavations later.

Urgently strengthen it and try to pass it in one go!

——I’ve decided. I’ll go to your house after the ceremony.

Blame me all you want...I'm ready to do whatever it takes to win.

Aleister thought.
