Shepherd Tantra

Chapter 989 It’s time to do something for yourself
After saying goodbye to Mycroft, Aiwass returned to the Hall of Silver and Tin to find Isabel.

When he wanted to change his appearance, the first person he thought of was Isabel.

Although she was promoted by riding the tide of transcendence, she lacks some foundation compared to veteran elf transcendents like Janice... but now Isabel has already reached the fifth level of energy.

She is now more or less at the level of a "bone sculpture"!
The ability system that Isabel is best at is illusion.

"...Are you going to use an illusion to cover up these antlers?"

Isabel held the huge antlers in both hands, a little hesitant: "The best I can do is to make them invisible... but I'm afraid it may not be of any use. And it's... too hot."

Aiwass's antlers emit heat, which allows people with keen senses to clearly perceive its presence. Hiding the heat is much more difficult than changing vision - it's like hiding a fire so that people don't feel the heat when they touch it. Isabel may not be unable to do this, but it would be difficult if it was just "enchantment".

The weight of the antlers was also not to be ignored. Although the weight was no longer a problem for Aiwass, the human body was different from the deer body. The antlers protruded forwards so much - now they were more than 20 centimeters tall - that the center of gravity of the body would change significantly.

"So I plan to become the child of the moon."

Aiwass explained: "If you become a child of the moon, you won't have antlers on your head."

"That little girl? Or Bayard?"

Isabel immediately thought of Aiwass's other two incarnations, and a wicked smile appeared on her face: "Do you want me to change them into something else?"

"...Why did you think of them first? I can also become a male child of the moon."

Aiwass was somewhat helpless: "But 'No. 14' can no longer transform. After I resurrected Aleister, I could no longer transform into its appearance. I think it may have become the basis of Aleister's existence... that is, the 'self in the mirror'.

"As for Bayard... the outside world's intelligence about the identity of 'Aleister' is actually her appearance. After all, in their cognition, Aleister's true identity is Lady Bayard. I think this identity may be useful, so don't change it to another face."

"Then you better be careful."

Isabel was somewhat worried: "I remember that your avatar will break into pieces once it is injured? Be careful that if your identity is exposed, Sherlock might be in danger."

"Don't worry," Aiwass nodded and soothed him, "Under normal circumstances, injuries will not cancel the transformation. Only serious injuries to the extent of breaking limbs, or being hit by a blunt object like a hammer will force the transformation to be cancelled. Normally, not many people use blunt objects."

"Do you want to bring another person? For example, Lily? She is now also at the fifth level, and can help you... After all, the Transcendence Tide covers the entire world, and there may be a new fifth level in Iris. I feel more at ease if she follows me."

Isabel suggested an idea: "Let her wear my puppet mask so that I can descend upon her when the time comes. If you need a 'touch-up', I can also help with that."

Aiwass readily agreed.

This is perfect - he can use it to disguise himself as the Son of Earth and Moon, and Lily can infiltrate the Hawkeye Organization. In this way, the two main factions of extraordinary people in the Iris Kingdom can both get along!
Then Aiwass transformed into the form of Moon Child and accepted Isabel's "makeup".

In this era, "makeup" has been partially demystified by alchemists and has been popularized among the people through various alchemical cosmetics and skin care products... The reason why Haina knew about the Pelican Bar was because her roommate bought some smuggled alchemical beauty products through the Pelican Bar.

But in the past, makeup and tattoos were both mysterious skills on the path of beauty. They were originally used in religious ceremonies to pray for the protection of gods and nature. When ancient priests performed large ceremonies, they would ask makeup artists to make them up to enhance the effect of the ceremony.

When applying makeup using ancient techniques, some makeup can directly charm the opposite sex, while others can eliminate the malice of others. Some special makeup can even be used to pray for rain or curse a field so that it will not produce any grain. In the era of the Herasil Empire, the most common makeup technique that was still passed down was the "makeup to drive away the dead."

Isabel did not learn makeup systematically, but she had a good teacher. Before becoming a professional, Janice had received a complete inheritance of the path of beauty, so she understood almost all the extraordinary skills of the path of beauty. It is also because of this that she, as a "painter", can teach a "jack of all trades".

For the "all-rounder", as long as the skills are related to the path of beauty, they can try to use them.

Under her makeup skills, Aiwass's appearance changed.

His long, brilliant platinum hair had turned bone-white, and his eyes were the classic dark red of the Moon Child. His appearance was no longer so dazzling. His face, which was originally plump and perfect like a statue, had now become much thinner. His cheeks were sunken, his lips were thinner and slightly darker, and he had dark circles under his eyes. His expression had become much more gloomy, and his eyes had become fierce and cold - the kind of person who you could tell was not a good person at a glance.

If I had to describe it, it would be the look of a "necromancer."

“…I have tried very hard.”

Isabel stepped back, admiring her own craftsmanship and said helplessly, "But I still can't make you uglier... I can't do it, damn it. There's no other way, I can only make you more scary."

"Why do you have to make me ugly?"

Aiwass was a little surprised. "I heard that the Iris people are very dissolute."

Isabel puffed her cheeks and looked very alert. "They can invite people they meet for the first time to get a room! That is a country polluted by the Son of the Moon... No matter if it is a man or a woman, they can take you away as long as they make eye contact... If they can't make you uglier, at least they will not dare to touch you."

“I won’t go with them.”

Aiwass explained helplessly.

"I know," Isabel said, feeling a little aggrieved, "but... I still feel uneasy. It would be better if it was me who went with you instead of Lily."

She actually just wanted to go out and play with Aiwass.

Going abroad with the person you love to rescue their mutual friend - it sounds as romantic as the legendary hero's story.

"Will you let me take care of you then?"

Aiwass teased, "I can take care of myself... What about you, my Queen? If I remember correctly, apart from the national tour when you ascended the throne, you have hardly left the Palace of Silver and Tin. If you really go out traveling with me, can you really adapt to life outside?"

After hearing what Aiwass said, Isabel hesitated for a long time before gnashing her teeth in anger: "Damn it... I will learn some related skills - don't underestimate the learning ability of a generalist!"

"Good good..."

Aiwass ruffled Isabel's hair again and calmed her down.

He looked at himself in the mirror and quickly thought of clothes that would suit him.

He found the spare uniforms of old Iben, the court ceremonial master, and borrowed a set.

It was a white robe that covered the entire body, with a white turban on the head.

Isabel's makeup can even change her body shape - now Aiwass is thinner than before. He is even half a head shorter, so this dress can fit her perfectly without any modification.

After Aiwas put on this Parthian-style white ritualist robe... his cold and fierce scarlet eyes and cold and gloomy temperament made him look like a curse master from the ancient Parthian country!
"This identity... let's call it Iben."

Aiwass said casually: "Anyway, among the ritualists of the ancient Parthian Empire, at least six out of ten are Ibens."

However, speaking of the Curse Master...

Aiwass narrowed his eyes slightly, and a hint of real murderous intent flashed in his pupils.

He thought of... Aziz, the curser who had cursed his biological parents to death. Now it was almost time for him to settle the score with him.

That guy should have returned to rest by now.

It just so happened that he would escort Zhu Tang to Anxi later, and at the same time make a plan for Yuan Tiansi who would most likely be dragged down... and now, apart from rescuing Sherlock, there was nothing else too important.

The ascension ceremony of Huantiansi will most likely take place on August 8th, so he still has more than two months.

After you get married, take some time to rest.

If that guy was drowned by the descending Yuan Tiansi... that would be too easy for him.

Now Lily's revenge has been taken, Yulia has been saved, the crises of Avalon and the Theocracy have been resolved, and the Fallen Angels have been killed...

Next, it’s time to do something for yourself.

Aiwass thought so.

When Lily arrived from Moriarty Mansion, Aiwass summoned Merlin from the ritual room and asked him to teleport both of them to Iris.
