Pastor's Tantra

"It sounds like you are about to do something very dangerous.

Mrs. Mina, who came over with tea, was a little worried: "You have to be more careful."

"Speaking of this, Mrs. Mina," Aiwass smiled when he heard this, "Do you sell anything good in the store here?"

Mrs. Mina was also a little confused: "Good thing...are you talking about the divination shop I opened?"

"Yes. Do you have any business selling antiques or treasure maps?"

Aiwass is looking forward to it.

Mrs. Mina was amused by him: "How is that possible? This is just an ordinary divination shop. I occasionally buy antiques, but they are my personal collection and I have no intention of selling them for the time being.

"Although Meia said that my divination was inaccurate, that was actually because I sometimes deliberately made misinterpretations to maintain a relatively normal hit rate. This was to prevent people from trusting me too much.

"It is impossible to accurately predict the future, even the most powerful prophet cannot do it. Because when you make a 'prophecy' and when you tell others the pictures in the prophecy, the future has already been It has been changed. Therefore, if you believe in divination too much, you may fall into the 'trap of prophecy' and in turn fulfill the prophecy."

"Actually, Mina's divination is quite accurate," said Mr. Bishop on the side, "because although she came to study art, she is not actually on the path of beauty. Mina's real path is the path of adaptation."

"That's right," Mina nodded gently, "I left Iris back then because my divination results told me that staying in Iris would lead to a huge crisis, while going to Avalon would probably Immediately I met the knight of my life. He would be my teacher, my sun, and my guardian... And sure enough, I really met Mathers."

"...A [Prophet] adapted to the path?"

Aiwass was stunned.

That's a rare profession. Players can't even choose, this is a pure NPC profession.

"Yeah, how about I give you a divination?"

Mrs. Mina smiled and said: "I will interpret it carefully this time and will not deliberately interpret it wrong for you."

"Can anything be divined?" Aiwass asked.

"It is best to perform divination only once for everyone, every day, and everything," Mrs. Mina explained. "The more you repeat divination, the easier it is for the line of fate to be disturbed; conversely, the longer the interval, The more accurate the divination results will be. Therefore, in Iris, the simplest way to prevent the prophet from prying eyes is to ask the prophet to continue divination on you every day to manually disturb the line of your destiny.

"Since you have never done divination before, your first divination must be the most accurate. Do you want to give it a try? I'll give it to you for free?"

"…Sorry to trouble you.

Aiwass was worried for a while, but finally made up his mind.

Anyway, I came here, and there is nothing to do when I go back today. It's better to draw a card before leaving.

If the goods are shipped, then it means that the momentum is strong now and the action will be smooth tomorrow!

If the goods are not shipped, it means that this divination has given an advance for tomorrow, and tomorrow's operation will definitely be smoother! !

"You go ahead, I'll go back and rest first."

Shylock obviously had little interest in divination. He went directly back to the second floor to read.

Mrs. Mina took Aiwass and Lily to her fortune telling shop.

"What do you want to divine? By what means?"

Mrs. Mina, who was already wearing a black gauze, put on a hat - the black gauze hanging down from the big-brimmed hat vaguely blocked her green eyes. She looked at Aiwass, her tone full of peace and confidence.

Aiwass didn't think he would be in danger during his trip to see York's lawyer.

Although he was a little disappointed that Mrs. Mina didn't sell antiques or treasure maps here, maybe her divination would yield something good?

——It’s free anyway, don’t take advantage of it.

"Can you take advantage of everything?"

Aiwass finally confirmed.

"Anything is possible."

Mrs. Mina affirmed: "Whether it's possible or not is another matter...but whether you can do divination depends entirely on the level of the fortune teller."

"In this case, I still need a handy weapon."

Aiwass clasped his hands together and said very sincerely: "Please help me see where I can get it——"

"……ha?"

Upon hearing Aiwass' words, Mrs. Mina was stunned.

She thought that Aiwass would predict her destiny, predict her future achievements, or ask her about love, career, health... and even ask her about some second and third choices that she didn't know what to do.

But she never thought that what Aiwass wanted to ask was so straightforward, so...pure?

"No?" Aiwass was a little disappointed.

"...Why not? It must be fine."

Mrs. Mina looked like she had a toothache: "I just didn't expect you to say that. Just wait. I'll think about how to do this divination first."

"Okay, let me use the dream method to see. You sit here and wait for a while."

With that said, Mrs. Mina asked Aiwass for some of his hair. Wrap them up and place them on your chest.

Then he drank a silver-white, shimmering alchemical mixture, and immediately fell into a chair and fell asleep.

Aiwass sighed boredly.

Seeing Lily putting her hand on his shoulder, he reached over to pick it up and gently squeezed Lily's hand to pass the time.

He carefully observed Lily's slender but somewhat rough fingers. Lily was obviously a little shy and her little finger was curled up. But she did not withdraw her finger, but asked calmly: "I thought Master, you would ask where to get a new tantra book."

"Because you just read a tantra."

Aiwass smiled and said: "That's why you think the tantra book is a good thing... Although it is true, I am no longer lacking in mysterious skills."

Because after that, Ms. Meia also planned to give herself a tantra book on the path of devotion—it was said to be a gift, but in fact, she meant to lend it to him to read. After all, he could learn it after reading it once, and it was a book that he treasured and loved. Aiwass will definitely return the book politely when the time comes.

I don’t know what my grandfather hid there, but it’s most likely a skill book. Maybe it's also at the tantric level.

Tantras are the highest level of occult books. The knowledge within it is alive.

It is a translation of the "unnamed original scriptures" written by the Guptas, and is itself a kind of "original scripture". The Gupta version of the original text cannot be understood by anyone except those on the path of wisdom - it is a demonic text that is dead and does not exist. The brains of other paths cannot remember even a single symbol of this text.

As long as you are qualified to open and read it, and can withstand the knowledge contained in it, you can directly learn the mysterious skills contained in it.

A copied version of the tantra will be just an ordinary written record and will not have any mysterious value. For example, the text version of the "Shepherd's Tantra" is actually an ancient legend.

——Simply put, the tantra is the "limited pool".

If you miss this one, you will have to wait for the "limited pool reprint" of other language versions.

The profession of Curse Ritual Mage can only be obtained when you first enter the Transcendent Path, acquire the mysterious skills of curses and rituals, and do not master demonology.

Fortunately, the ritual is easy to learn. But curses are difficult to learn, and the corresponding skill is the extremely difficult blessing skill.

Avalon has never had a legacy of such profound and mysterious skills.

However, in the original "Hands Without Scales", so many magicians were born in one go - so many outstanding priests in universities could not learn the blessing technique in a few years, and those extraordinary folk who had not received formal education, how could they? So many highly skilled curse masters?

So Aiwass believes that the "Scaleless Hand" may have a tantric book related to the curse.

It was by relying on this book that they were able to turn those potential extraordinary beings who had the tendency to transcend the path into magicians in batches. Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain, why not take the shortcut and go the long way... It can only mean that this long way is covered by a shuttle bus.

But in the end the book was apparently not discovered by the Inspectorate. If the Hook Demon wasn't intelligent enough to discover this book, it might still be in that village.

In this case, Aiwass will have at least two tantra books in the foreseeable future.

Advancing the level of Mystical Skills also requires experience and energy - he is now like a seal who has drawn a bunch of good cards. The card is good, but I can’t afford it.

The two pieces of good equipment Lily got made him a little greedy.

This key will have to be returned to Bishop Mathers sooner or later - it is his workplace key after all. Is it absurd that the Guardian of the Holy Sepulcher does not have the key to the Holy Sepulchre that he guards?

It's like the guard can't open the door. I asked why I couldn't open it because I borrowed the key from a friend.

... Then something will definitely happen to Mr. Bishop. Even his behavior is more serious than this and is an absolute violation.

But Aiwass really didn't have the equipment to take advantage of.

——So Aiwass had to find a way to get a handy weapon before returning the key.

Their current makeshift team is very cool.

As a mage, Shylock does not have a staff or code, and as a lawyer, he does not have a dagger of discipline - his dagger is usually brought temporarily by Edward and lent to him; as an inspector, Haina does not have a gryphon, but she does have a sword but There are no guns; as a priest, Aiwass does not have a holy crown or a scepter, and as a demonologist, he does not have a grimoire or ritual package.

Of the three people, one was left empty-handed.

The only weapon that can be called a weapon is the small-caliber lady's pistol in Aiwass's hand.

The only one with a main-hand weapon is the lowest-level Lily - her silk thread can be used as a weapon for free. Later, when her level is high, she can tie the eagle feathers to silk thread.

It's like three large players leveling up with a small one, and then the three large players go out without weapons. On the contrary, the trumpet is fully equipped.

Although Aiwass also knows that it is currently a peaceful era. Except for soldiers and law enforcers, very few people in this version carry weapons...but it still sounds ridiculous.

After a while, Mrs. Mina slowly woke up.

She looked at Aiwass and hesitated to speak.

"Mrs. Mina, do you see the future?"

Aiwass eyes lit up. Looking at her reaction, it was obvious that she had seen something in her dream.

——Hey guys, can you really come to the mall to draw cards?

"...Although the content of your divination is very bizarre, I have never seen anyone mention it in my life. But I did see——"

Mrs. Mina shook her head helplessly and predicted: "I saw you summon some butterflies composed of pure flames as a protective weapon at will."

Upon hearing this, Aiwass immediately realized that the prophet's gold content was indeed quite high. Not only did he not talk about those ridiculous things, but he even saw his magic card!

Avas was immediately in awe of Mrs. Mina and asked: "Then what? Is there anything else?"

"There is also a book," Mrs. Mina nodded, trying hard to explain to Aiwass, "Although it is strange, it is really a book. At least according to the content of my dream, the sand timepiece will affect you In the future guided by the appeal of 'Where is the weapon that best suits you', it really points to a book. But it is not a tantric book."

It should be a grimoire, Aiwass knew it.

"What kind of book is that?"

Aiwass asked: "Can you please help me accurately predict where it is?"

Mrs. Mina helplessly wiped the sweat from her forehead: "Let me state in advance... After this prophecy is over, I may not be able to perform divination for you for a long time. I can't guarantee the accuracy of my divination.

"For some reason, the thread of fate on your body is extremely messy, and many strong people's threads are entangled in you. It took me a long time to figure out which thread belongs to you, but your destiny seems not to be in this world.

"You have to know, Aiwass, I am a fourth-level [Prophet], and you are just at the second level. Under the suppression of this energy level, I can't even see your future clearly - if I had been When I was younger, or if you were stronger, I might have passed out right now."

After making a very detailed disclaimer, Mrs. Mina yawned deeply and felt a little depressed.

As she stood up to pack her things, she replied casually: "The location is Yingjiao Village in Muwan County. I saw that you had Sherlock and someone I didn't know around you when you found this book. I vaguely saw that The name of the book...

"It seems to be called the Book of Laws."

Good news, at least my head doesn't hurt anymore when I wake up.

Bad news, my schedule is still messy... Yesterday I wanted to wait until night to sleep together, but I was so sleepy in the afternoon that I couldn't help it. I fell asleep again at 4 or 5 o'clock, and woke up at 11:30, feeling quite energetic.

What else can I do.jpg

At least I can type without my headache.

I should be able to recover after I get another nap. For this nine-yin-nine-yang schedule, let’s wait until the end of the month to find time to take a day off and save a day’s draft before adjusting it.

It takes at least one day of depositing manuscripts to adjust your work and rest, because you can't do anything during those two days of adjusting your schedule, and cats can post as much as they write, so they can't keep it.

Anyway, I’ll take a leave of absence at the end of the month in advance. Today is also an update of more than 7,000 words!

But according to the outline, the plot at the end of the month should be an advanced version of Beyond the Road, which doesn’t seem too easy to please (sad)

I'll try my best to finish writing this advanced step before asking——
